Hello Alice,
My name is Dustin Garnet and I am an instructor in the Central Tech art program. I am also a PhD candidate writing my thesis on the history of the CTS art program.
I just came across your comments and pictures on the Internet about your experience at Tech. I was thrilled!!! (He is referring to this post.)
Would you be interested in having a phone or a Skype interview about your experience?
I've already interviewed a bunch of former staff and students and I think your story would be a great contribution!
Please let me know whenever you can.
|The video taped part of our day lasted a little over one hour
|My vanity had me ask to see how I looked on camera
In lovely weather, we enjoyed lunch on our back deck, after which I took Dustin down to The Anne Frank Room. There he photographed my memorabilia and student art until it was time for him to dash back to Calgary for a 5 o'clock flight.
|My final report card ... notice how heavily weighted art subjects were compared to the academic subjects
|This fine letter, to the graduates, accompanied our diploma
|And there I am, diploma in hand, November 18th, 1966
Dustin asked about student interaction. I was so honoured when he said that he could give a dissertation on me and my classmates. He wondered about how our teachers instructed. I felt (because art is so visual) that they had taught by doing and then left us to work it out. What they gave us was a desire to be like them. We could see that, as artists, they enjoyed a wonderful life both in and out of the classroom. I wanted that.

BUDAPEST — George W. Bush dodged it. Barack Obama refused it. But on Monday President Trump will grant Viktor Orban, Hungary's far-right prime minister, his first private audience with a president at the White House since he met Bill Clinton there in 1998.
Back then, Mr. Orban was a young centrist who praised Mr. Clinton for helping Hungary to escape Russian influence by joining NATO, but today he is a doyen of right-wing nationalists on multiple continents. He has enfeebled democratic institutions, strived to achieve a Hungarian ethnic homogeneity and pulled his nation closer to the opponents of American influence, Russia and China.
His welcome at the White House is seen by Mr. Trump's critics as emblematic of the president's preference for strongman leaders who seek to undermine the liberal international order.
"This visit is par for the course in terms of this administration's interest in aligning itself with autocrats and would-be autocrats," said Robert G. Berschinski, a former deputy assistant secretary of state under Mr. Obama, now a senior vice president at Human Rights First, a watchdog group.
But Mr. Orban's invitation to the White House reflects a more complex knot of considerations than just a shared political outlook, analysts and diplomats said. An Oval Office meeting is one of the highest honors an American president can give an ally, and this one has been slow in coming.
The Hungarian prime minister is in fact the last leader in Central Europe to be invited to the White House under Mr. Trump, even though Mr. Orban was, in July 2016, the first foreign leader to endorse Mr. Trump's candidacy for the presidency.
And the day after Mr. Orban's visit, State Department officials will meet in Washington with a pair of center-right opposition politicians from Hungary who beat Mr. Orban's party in two recent by-elections.
"This was much more difficult for Orban to get than people think," said Andras Simonyi, a former Hungarian ambassador to the United States and NATO who now works as an academic in Washington.
"This silly idea that there is this unity between Trump and Orban is nonsense — Orban has been wanting this visit for two and a half years," Mr. Simonyi added. "It's embarrassing for Orban."
Rather than a reward or an affirmation, the meeting can instead be framed as a carrot — an attempt to persuade Mr. Orban to buy American weapons and give greater priority to American foreign policy interests.
Though Mr. Trump has often spoken warmly of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, some of Mr. Trump's most senior advisers, like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have expressed concerns about the influence Russia and China wield in Hungary and other Central European countries.
A bipartisan group of senators, including the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, James E. Risch, wrote to the president on Friday to warn of Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory and the implications for U.S. interests in Central Europe."
Mr. Orban's lawmakers have granted a form of diplomatic immunity to an obscure Russian bank with connections to the Kremlin, a decision that American officials fear will allow the bank to act as a hub for Russian spies in Europe. And his administration gave residency documents to a Russian lawmaker, as well as relatives of the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
When two arms dealers were captured in Hungary, following an investigation by American law enforcement officials, Mr. Orban's government angered American counterparts by extraditing the dealers to Russia instead of the United States.
American officials are also keen to discourage the Orban government from allowing the Chinese firm Huawei to build the local infrastructure for 5G wireless internet.
"This is more about long-term American strategic interests than about rewarding or not rewarding Orban, even if it looks otherwise," Mr. Simonyi, the former ambassador, said.
Sensitive to the perception of embracing another illiberal autocrat, administration officials insisted during a conference call with reporters on Friday that the government had raised concerns about Mr. Orban's actions at lower levels.
Mr. Orban met at the White House with Vice President Dick Cheney in 2001 but was refused a formal Oval Office meeting with Mr. Bush in 2002, shortly before he lost power to the Hungarian socialist party. His successor, Ferenc Gyurcsany, was granted a White House visit with Mr. Bush in 2005. After Mr. Orban re-entered office in 2010 and began to subjugate the judiciary, take over the news media and gerrymander the electoral map, Mr. Orban was snubbed repeatedly by the Obama administration.
Without question, the Trump administration has been warmer to Mr. Orban, who shares with Mr. Trump a dislike of immigration, independent institutions that can check his power and international institutions that they say undermine national sovereignty.
That outward comity stands in contrast to the obvious friction between the Trump administration and longstanding American allies in Europe and elsewhere. Last Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo canceled a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany with only a few hours of notice and instead made a quick trip to Iraq — a decision perceived in Germany as a snub. He announced the same day that he would meet this week with Mr. Putin in Russia.
Last June, Mr. Orban was granted a phone call with Mr. Trump. In July, the State Department canceled funding for independent Hungarian news outlets that threatened to loosen Mr. Orban's grip on the Hungarian news media.
To head the State Department section on European affairs, Mr. Trump in 2017 named A. Wess Mitchell, an advocate of friendlier ties with European Union nations, like Hungary and Poland, whose governments oppose the liberal forces that hold sway within the European Union. But Mr. Mitchell resigned this year and is due to be replaced by a career diplomat, Philip T. Reeker, who has displayed no public affection for the Orban administration.
And Mr. Trump's apparent affinity for the likes of Mr. Orban owes something to his envy of leaders who are rarely challenged at home.
"I can tell you, knowing the president for a good 25 or 30 years, that he would love to have the situation that Viktor Orban has, but he doesn't," David Cornstein, Mr. Trump's ambassador to Hungary, said in an interview published in The Atlantic on Thursday.
Despite the Trump administration's greater engagement with Hungary, Mr. Orban has not responded with much good will of his own.
He has blocked high-level cooperation between Ukraine and NATO, and ignored American requests to stall the expulsion of the Central European University, an American college in Budapest whose continued presence in Hungary was a stated foreign policy goal of the Trump administration.
Mr. Orban also took months to agree to a new defense cooperation agreement with the United States which, though finally signed in April, has yet to be ratified by the Hungarian Parliament, which he largely controls.
Mr. Berschinski, the former State Department official, said that an Oval Office meeting was likely to have little effect on Hungarian policy, and some current officials at the department say privately that they agree.
"Viktor Orban is joining an increasingly long line of leaders — from Vladimir Putin to Mohammed bin Salman to Rodrigo Duterte to Abdel Fattah el-Sisi — that President Trump will say positive things about without getting much in return," Mr. Berschinski said.

Youth RallyFor over 40 years the New England Region of Wound Ostomy and Continence nurses have sponsored/supported adolescents between the ages of 11-17 years of age who are living with conditions of the bowel and bladder. These youths have ostomies; inflammatory bowel disease, or urinary or fecal incontinence. They participate in a five night one of a kind experience called Youth Rally. The camp is held at various university campuses throughout the United States in July; San Diego, Colorado, or Washington.
The New England Region holds an auction every year at our fall conference to raise money for this great cause. All funds go directly to Youth Rally. Youth Rally allows these children to be in a safe structured environment where they are free to share their fears and feelings without the worry of embarrassment or criticism from their peers. Campers are provided with education, socialization, emotional support and a great life changing experience. The camp is chaperoned by nurses and volunteers. Medical conditions such as these can cause not only physical but emotional and financial hardship to families. The cost of Youth Rally Camp is $425.00 dollars plus airfare per camper.

Malaysia's government offers a U.S. based company new motivation to find missing Malaysia Airlines Flight-370 quickly: money.
Ocean Infinity could earn up to $70 million, but only if it can locate MH370's wreckage or black boxes within three months. The plane was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March 2014. It's a task that's eluded many and made it one of aviation's biggest mysteries.
CGTN's Jim Spellman explains this high-risk, high-reward challenge.
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March 2014 has become one of the world's most baffling aviation mysteries. The plane was bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur but changed course and lost contact with air traffic control.
Authorities believe MH370 crashed after running out of fuel over the Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia.
In the years since, search crews have used planes, boats and underwater vehicles in hopes of locating the wreckage. Floating debris has been found far from where MH370 is thought to have crashed, but no sign of the main debris field has been found.
Australia, China, and Malaysia ended a fruitless $200 million search almost a year ago after 1,046 days of hunting. The final report showed authorities were unable to conclude why the plane disappeared or determine its exact location.
YB DS @liowtionglai Minister of Transport Malaysia announced that the search for #MH370 will resume mid January during the signing of the agreement between Msia and @Ocean__Infinity on a "no fee, no cure" basis @DCA_Malaysia pic.twitter.com/0StX8HbwyJ
— M.O.T Malaysia (@MOTMalaysia) January 10, 2018
Now an American firm will begin a new search on a "No find, no fee" basis – if they don't find the plane they don't get paid. Ocean Infinity will use this ship and autonomous underwater vehicles, UAVs, for the search.
If the debris field and flight data recorders are recovered from the initial search area within 90 days, Malaysia's government will pay out $70 million. The company believes their technology will allow them to succeed where previous operations failed.
Most of the 239 aboard MH370 when it disappeared were from China. It's presumed they all died in the crash. Their families are hopeful that this new search will give them the answers they want, but are wary of reliving the agony of earlier failed searches.
The key items for the Texas-based firm to recover are the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. Authorities hope those recorders contain the answers that will finally end the mystery of flight.

Woke to the view of the harbour in Portree and a quality brekkie and a sit on the pier reading Volf.
Drove to the north west of the island (yesterday was the north east) stopping for photos of the sweeping moors and old churches while listening to page cxvi.
Skye is a pretty big place, geographically anyhow, despite the fact that all the people seem to live in Broadford or Portree.
The north west seems to be one of the more deserted areas and more than anywhere seems to remind me of NZ – and let's face it all this is an attempt to get back there.
We stopped at Dunvegan where the Mcleods had murdered the Macdonalds in huge numbers in 1550. They attacked by surprise while they were all in church. Not that one group were heathen and the other Christian. Both were Christian be they still murdered each other. Maybe there's a common denominator that's not religion running through all these. We seem to be able to do horrible things to each other no matter what our creed.
There are memorials to all this on the penninsula. A reminder that whole communities once inhabited this place before it became the dominion of the sheep.
People lived and died here on the western most parts of civilisation. They lived and brought up their kids overlooking the western isles knowing that the clan divisions may bring their downfall at any point.
What would they think of us?
Me and sparky sat in the ruins of one of their houses and held our own communion service. Here at the end of the world we broke bread and wine (or biscuit and whisky) and had a few readings from the gospels and declared the joy and hope of the resurrection. CHRIST is risen, hallelujah.
Here at the end of the world I recommit myself to the faith, the hope and the glory. To the great story that I find myself in but yet do no comprehend. I do not often know why I stick with it. I keep thinking of the quote from the disciples that "where else o lord would we go".
Here at the end of the world I acknowledge my brokenness and struggles, the immense sense of loss that accompanies everything I do these days.
Here at the end of the world I find the tears and the laughter that will take me home.
By this stage the sun was out and determined to make up for it's absence over the past few days. The windows were wound down. The sun roof was open, the sunny tunes (unsurprisingly I only have about an hour or so of these on the iPod) were on. I was stopping every 5 mind or so for photos of the rapidly approaching mountains.
The Cuillins are truly spectacular. Huge, ridged, stony mountains that seen to explode from the earth.
They fill me with me with awe and fear in equal measure.
At the base of the mountains beside a gravelly beach lies Glenbrittle camp-site. Which has jumped to number one in my all time favourite camp site list.
Huge soaring mountains in the background, a sweeping sun lit bay in the foreground. Camp Volvo was established. We didn't even need the awning I'd designed for the car. When I planned this trip this type of campsite was what I had in mind.
I finally got to try the portable BBQ that Morsies had bought me for Christmas. Despite needing 4 firelighters to get it started (the consequence of leaving my charcoal sitting out the back of at john's all winter) it cooked up a storm accompanied by some coffee, some red and the chorizo sausage I bought in Inverness.
By now it was only 7pm and I hadn't even started the Sunday times.
The sun sets and leaves us campers surviving by the glow of propane and the shelter of the nylon. This may be British summer time but I am currently wearing a hat and 7 layers on top and 3 pair of trousers. I am exceptionally cosy it must be said. That in itself is kind of satisfying.
The Cuillins raise their intimidating profile in the background. Weather permitting we'll have a go.

They say that Siena is the most charming city in Italy. I wouldn't exactly agree and enjoyed the small medieval cities in Spain much more, but Siena is certainly a lovely place.
Siena was first settled by the Romans as a military outpost under Augustus in the 1st Century CE. It grew into one of Italy's most important trading and banking centers peaked in the 14th Century and has been somewhat static ever since. The population inside the walls of Siena today is less than it was at its peak in the 14th Century.
One of the most important causes of Siena's decline was disease – the Black Death arrived in 1348 and killed two-thirds of the population. The plague hit as Siena was building extensions to its cathedral, and left the city without enough workers or money to finish the project. You can still see the unfinished section today.
The best way to get a taste of life in Siena is to join the locals in out in the town square, called the campo (which means "field" in Italian) in the evenings.
The bricks on the ground of Siena's Campo are in what is called a herringbone pattern, and it's the same pattern that Filippo Brunelleschi used to keep the dome in Florence from falling down.
Residents of Siena are loyal to their neighborhoods until their dying day. Each neighborhood is named after a different animal — the panther, the eagle, the rabbit and more, and each neighborhood has funky street lights painted in its own colors. The Sienese don't play when it comes to their neighborhoods, and they will talk to you about why theirs is the best for hours on end.

Grace Sauti Phiri, a Malawian and an Agricultural Gender Roles and Responsibility Officer (AGRESSO) was arrested on December 21, 2015 at the Kotoka International Airport by Operatives of the Narcotics Control Board for allegedly importing heroin into Ghana.
A Malawian has been arrested at the Kotoka International Airport by Operatives of the Narcotics Control Board for allegedly importing heroin into Ghana on Monday 21 December, 2015.
The accused, Grace Sauti Phiri, an Agricultural Gender Roles and Responsibility Officer (AGRESSO), has been arraigned before an Accra Circuit Court and has since been remanded at the Nsawam Prison until 8, January, 2015.
According to the prosecution, Grace claimed ownership of the bag is well as the substance, insisting that she was contracted by one Samuel Onyeba Imo, a Nigerian, for $1,300. The Agricultural Officer further stated that she was to deliver the said bag to one Val, another Nigerian residing in Ghana.
The plea of the accused – who has been charged with importation of narcotic drug without licence from the Ministry of Health and possessing narcotic drug without lawful authority – was not taken in a court presided over by Aboagye Tandoh.
Earlier, Paul Abagriga, lawyer for Grace Sauti Phiri, urged the court to grant bail to his client. He said the court ought not to remand his client if the prosecution was sending the substance to the Food and Drugs Authority (DFA) for testing.
He stated that the substance could test negative.
On December 21, at about 11:30 am Grace was accosted on suspicion when she disembarked from. Ethiopian Airlines Flight Number ET921 from Malawi.
During interrogation, it was revealed that she was having a check-in luggage with log number ET 331006 which was recovered.
A search in the bag revealed quantities of white powdery substance which were field-tested and proved to be heroin.

Wow! A simple press conference has juiced up his opponents…from the 'mainstream media' if there is a 'mainstream media'. President Donald Trump held a press conference yesterday. I confess that I watched it. I confess that I enjoyed the President's free-wheeling back-and-forth with members of the press during the eighty minutes he spent taking their questions and responding to those questions. I confess that I took some measure of delight in seeing the vaunted media mavens with the looks of horror on their faces…except when they had the "gotcha" looks going back and forth through the room.
Richard Wolf of USA TODAY has a paragraph that goes: "It was a spectacle for the ages – one that his most loyal supporters probably loved, but which political insiders have seldom, if ever, witnessed. Taking questions from a hostile (my emphasis) press corps, Trump interrupted and belittled them repeatedly, then responded in blunt terms avoided by his predecessors."
E.J. Dionne from the Washington Post led his article off with this paragraph: "Let's not mumble or whisper about the central issue facing our country: What is this democratic nation to do when the man serving as president of the United States has no business being president of the United States?"
Of course, this was probably to be expected. After all, we went from a President in whose mouth butter wouldn't melt to this misfit foisted upon us by the voters. Just who do those voters think they are? Do they think they make these huge decisions such as who will be the President? They do so without even listening to those of us in the press who obviously know better simply because we are in the press corps.
We witnessed the apoplectic press yesterday in all its umbrage. It was not a pretty sight. President Trump was the same person I voted for, but the press corps was not the lapdog press corps that savored every word from the mouth of former President Barack Obama. The experience in real life that these two men brought with them to this high position is remarkably different. The immediate past president had virtually no experience but saw himself as the savior of the country. The current president has a world of experience but not the kind of experience the press apparently believes is necessary if one is to be a good President.
The elitists that comprise too much of what passes for the press these days need to take a few steps back, breath deeply, maybe even put their heads down between their knees while doing so, and get a grip. They talk about President Trump not being fit to hold the office he won fairly and squarely. I would suggest they need to carefully look at themselves and perform a critical self-examination. Many of us have already taken steps to move beyond being spoon-fed by the liberal media types. If they persist in this kind of hysterical hyperbole, they'll succeed in very nearly abolishing this "press" they revere over all else. Had they not walked into that briefing room with huge chips on the shoulders looking forward to engaging with this buffoon that we idiots elected, maybe they could've gotten beyond themselves.
It is apparently wrong, in their minds, for us voters to enjoy this President for some of the differences he brought to the White House, for the breath of fresh air after the stifling elitism that pervaded the White House for the preceding eight years.
If I am to judge the quality of the person we just elected to the office of President of the United States based upon the nature and source of complaints, then that is what I'll need to do. At the moment, President Trump is far ahead of the mainstream media and the elites that pontificate about his demeanor and qualifications. We'll see how that continues, but these two media folks are off to a bad start in my book.

14 great Paul McCartney moments on record
John Lennon said it best: the walrus was Paul. Three years after he sang "I Am the Walrus," Lennon explained in a scathing Rolling Stone interview in Dec. 1970 that while each Beatle was essential – to the music, the image and the myth – it was McCartney who drove the band. His ambition and talent were often overwhelming and annoying to Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Fifty years after the Beatles arrived on U.S. soil, McCartney is the greatest living rock star and, like his nearest rival for the crown, Mick Jagger, shows few signs of slowing down. He's been knighted and owns a music publishing empire, too. Even so, the case can be made that McCartney didn't (and still doesn't) get all the credit he deserved in the Fab Four and as a solo artist. Here are some of his best unheralded moments on record.

BEST WAY DOWNTOWN: Bus BASICS The airport is six miles (10 km) west of the center of Lima. TAXI There are two types of taxis in Lima, registered and unregistered (unregistered taxis are also known as "street" taxis). The registered taxis have a sticker with a number you can write down, in the windshield. Unregistered taxis are driven by people needing to pick up some extra cash, and can't be traced, should you leave something in the cab. If you are in doubt, use only registered taxis awaiting you at stands in front of the terminal. There are no meters, so negotiate the fare before departing the airport. The fare should be around 30 to 37 soles ($8 to $10), and the ride will take about 30 minutes to the city center. Street taxis can be hailed outside the airport, and are less expensive than registered taxis.

1896 onward a movement of various forming and splitting and reforming German youth groups were known as "Wandering Birds". They were also often the same people who called themselves "life-reformers." It quickly became the preeminent German youth movement. These youths broke away from the strict requirements of their educational and social environment and were opposed to contemporary trends toward rapid, progressive urbanization. The also were reacting against the organized youth groups and clubs that featured German folk music which were being pushed on them. They broke off to develop their own way of life. Their aesthetic featured back-to-nature, freedom, self-responsibility, adventurousness, and anti-bourgeoisie. They wore long hair and beards, danced and made music, went nude, wore hiking boots, sandals, and went barefoot, practiced vegetarianism, natural medicine and healing. They also practiced abstinence, were interested in Teutonic nationalism, and organized outdoor activities like hiking. They were mostly middle class young people, and organized into "bands" around compelling leaders.
Richard Miller described them in 1977: "They pooled their money, spoke hobo slang, peasant patois and medieval vulgate. They were loud and rude, sometimes ragged and dirty and torn by briars. They carried packs, wore woolen capes, shorts, dark shirts, Tyrolean hats with heavy boots and bright neck scarves. Part hobo and part medieval they were very offensive to their elders."
One of the origins of these groups and their activities was athletic hiking expeditions that were a part of school culture. The first of what would become Wandervogels came together, met and bonded arranging such hikes. Experienced hikers took on the role of "chiefs" and "sub-chiefs."
Some groups of Wandervogels eventually formed communes, cooperatives, and other settlements, practicing soil reform, organic gardening, communitarianism, and experimented economically.
One such location was "Monte Verita", which drew visitors like Hesse, Jung, Isadora Duncan, Lawrence, Klee, and Kafka, among many other artists, anarchists, and celebrities.
Monte Verita was originally a hill in Asconda which was purchased in 1900 by Henry Oedenkoven, the son of a businessman, and his wife, where they established the "Co-operative vegetarian community of Monte Verita" on principles of primitive socialism. These values were discarded in favor of individualistic vegetarianism. The community was against private property, party politics, traditional marriage and dress, and practiced morality, nudism, and sunbathing.
After several years, some of the aspects of Wandervogel became less radical, more conventional organizations that were a part of mainstream culture and society, quite different from the intentions of their Wondervogel creators. Monte Verita later became a School of Art and then a hotel and eventually a museum.
A Wandervogel song by Otto Roquette:
The Wondervogel in the air,
In ether glimmering, in the sun's fragrance,
in blue airswells,
You greet me as a journeyer!
A Wondervogel am I too,
me taking a fresh lifebreath,
and my song gift
is my most loved thing I have.

Following the Bourke Street Mall car attack in Melbourne's CBD that claimed the lives of six people and wounded at least 30 others on 20 January this year, Australia's major cities jumped into action.
Nearly 70 concrete bollards at Bourke Street Mall and Federation Square, as well as at least 140 concrete bollards at key pedestrian locations, have been installed around Melbourne in the months following the incident.
Sydney's Martin Place – the site of the Lindt Café siege – also received a number of barricades, following the attack and similar instances in London, Nice and Germany.
Likewise, Adelaide City Council identified Adelaide's pedestrian-only Rundle Mall at risk should a vehicle enter the public space.
"After what happened on Bourke Street Mall in Melbourne, Adelaide Lord Mayor Martin Haese announced they would put safety bollards in place at Rundle Mall," explains Craig Woods, Director at Roadside Services & Solutions.
"That was by end of January this year, and by February, Adelaide City Council needed to put a solution in place to prevent any errant vehicles entering the mall. We made contact with the council and they invited us in for a briefing of what they needed, and we offered a solution."
Roadside Services & Solutions, an Australian manufacturer and supplier of road safety products and equipment, is the Australian distributor of the Energy Absorbing Bollard (EAB) – non-redirective crash attenuators engineered to arrest a 1600-kilogram vehicle travelling at 60 kilometres per hour.
Mr. Woods says the phrases 'anti-terror' and 'terrorism' are common when discussing the installation of such safety bollards, but he says the system serves a purpose to protect an errant vehicle entering the area.
A driver, for instance, could suffer a medical episode or simply lose control of their vehicle, he explains. The bollards are designed to not only protect pedestrians, but the driver too.
Mr. Woods says the frontal impact kinematics into an EAB are quite differently from those of the vehicle impacting a solid barrier or another vehicle.
The design of the bollard means that when a car hits it, the vehicle's front axle lifts and the front vehicle passengers are 'lifted' and pushed away from the steering wheel and the dashboard, greatly reducing injuries and risk of fatality, according to Mr. Woods.
"With us having distribution rights to EAB, we thought it would be ideal for the project, which required installation of bollards at the two main entrances to the mall," explains Mr. Woods.
Adelaide City Council wanted a reliable safety barrier system that could retract and allow entry for service vehicles.
While Mr. Woods asserts retractable safety bollards are commonplace in the Australian market, he isn't aware of any other retractable energy absorbing bollards available, so Roadside Services & Solutions needed to come up with an appropriate solution using their own EAB product.
Complicating the task at hand was the deadline set by the council. "The council contracted us on 21 February and we had until 28 February to install bollards at both ends of the mall. So we had a really short window to get a solution up," says Mr. Woods.
The company opted to install its static EABs within the seven days as its first port of call, and investigate developing a retractable version of the product in the weeks following.
"To get the first bollards installed required a real collaboration between a number of teams, which consisted of about four of five different companies," says Mr. Woods. Concrete cutters, electricians and other specialised teams were needed to assist in the job, given the strict timeframe and the number of underground services within the mall.
"Obviously one of the biggest challenges we faced was the amount of service lines, and going through 800 millimetres of sandstone and concrete pavers is a tough job."
Following successful installation of the static EABs in the last week of February, Roadside Services & Solutions began developing a retractable bollard solution for the mall using its established EAB product.
"We came up with a retractable 12-volt trickle charge, which meant that if there was a power outage or major incident, the bollards are still operational. The council saw that as a real added bonus."
The battery powering the retractable function within the EAB is designed to be tested on a fortnightly basis, and requires replacing only every two years.
The retractable EAB now also includes flashing lights and proximity sensors. If a vehicle were to drive over the bollard when it was rising, the system would automatically sense it and stop raising until the vehicle was over it.
"From the first bollard installation date, we had the new retractable EABs up and running by the beginning of March," states Mr. Woods. "As much as we are a reactive maintenance company, the timeframe was big challenge."
Roadside Solutions & Services' retractable EAB is gaining traction around Australia since the project was completed.
"We've installed the latest iteration as part of a permanent road closure for Peel Street in Adelaide's CBD, which has a lot of outdoor dining areas," says Mr. Woods, adding that the products are even being investigated for use in Melbourne as a permanent replacement for the concrete bollards currently in place.

HPV statesman omnipresent middle men with laryngeal person, concealed healthiness protection
The defenceless papillomavirus (HPV) is supplementary probable to be bring about in tumors of laryngeal mortal patients who are manly and those with undisclosed form indemnification, according to a latest bone up on from researchers at H Author Infirmary.
The read as well as reveals that laryngeal individual patients with Medicare, who likely to be 65 and old, get a decrease commonness of HPV, suggesting that HPV contagion may possibly be close even to adulthood and changes in erotic conduct with junior generations.
"Our con is an significant movement foremost in information much round HPV trends, and after all is said culture how HPV unequivocal stature could colliding transmission and discussion in favour of laryngeal person patients," says lucubrate conduct maker Josena Author, M.D., a scrutinization person detective in the Section of Otolaryngology-Head & Narrow part Surgical treatment at Speechmaker Water.
"That is fitting considering HPV sure patients, peculiarly those with oropharyngeal sign, accept restored animation. On the side of laryngeal mortal that corpse to be recognized."
Results from the lucubrate drive be presented Weekday, Phratry. 14 in San Francisco at the Earth Establishment of Otolaryngology-Head & Polo neck Surgical procedure Understructure Reference Assembly. The scrutinization was funded past a Bureau give.
In 2010, an estimated 12,700 imaginative cases of laryngeal mortal – cancers that begin in the larynx – were diagnosed, according to the Governmental Individual Guild. Corresponding otherwise bean and dйcolletage cancers, endanger factors subsume evaporation, the bottle expenditure. HPV is a peril factor many rocker and narrow part cancers, specified as oropharyngeal human.
Latest HPV-related investigating on noggin and neckline somebody has antediluvian focussed on oropharyngeal crab, which includes the bottom of the language, the tonsils, the velum (second of the gob), and the walls of the throat (ravine).
In those studies, HPV-positive patients with oropharyngeal someone were shown to possess a bargain jeopardize of cessation and reciprocate well-advised to management. With laryngeal soul, miniature is renowned roughly HPV ubiquity and how HPV energy crashing action.
The Rhetorician Fording lucubrate takes a reliever watch HPV pervasiveness supported on sluice, sex and guaranty sort, also as place and animation championing laryngeal human patients.
The burn the midnight oil association included data and chain samples in favour of 79 patients, of which 60 were man's and 19 were mortal. The patients were classified into deuce bevys: no action and intervention (shedding and/or chemotherapy).
Nigh especially, 41% pct of the bone up on number was Soul Earth, and the more than half of the learn about association (95%) had a portrayal of breathing. The swot organize HPV-positive importance representing laryngeal mansion to be extensively laced to sexuality, with 34% of men and 5% of women having HPV.
Protection sort too was related with HPV significance. The more than half of confidential indemnity patients were bring about to accept HPV, whereas the Medicare congregation had away statesman HPV-negative patients than HPV-positive patients.
HPV had a drop ubiquity in Continent English patients. It was sensed in 16% of Individual Americans as compared to 33% of Caucasic in the lucubrate.
"It's truly significative what's embedded therein swat, peculiarly in behalf of Person Ground patients," says co-author Region J. Worsham, Ph.D., administrator of scrutiny in the Segment of Otolaryngology-Head & Roll neck Surgical procedure at Orator Crossing.
"We recall that Somebody Americans are disproportionately diagnosed with late-stage crab and obtain poorer outcomes than Caucasians. That swot actually builds on sensuous behavioural lifestyle-related verification that can be contributive to outcomes, singularly since present-day's a valuable imbalance in the middle of HPV stature in Individual Americans and Caucasic populations."
The swat results besides propose that, alike resemble to oropharyngeal human investigating, laryngeal individual patients with HPV obtain well-advised activity and apt to retort be responsive to more to chemotherapy and energy treatments than patients who do not obtain HPV.
The researchers affirm, though, that that prototype desires to be accessory wilful to ratify much results, and they project to do so through a enhanced association of patients.

How Bad Is It to Hold In Your Pee?
Subscribe to KDEZ-FM / Easy 100.1 on
We've all been there — you've got to go to the bathroom, but, for one reason or another, you just can't.
Is keeping it in such a bad thing?
When you have to relieve yourself, it feels like everything is the sound of water pouring or a hose spraying water, but you do what you must to make sure you don't let your urine fly until you've reached a toilet.
This video explains how exactly our body pees, with a focus on what the heck takes place in our bladder, which stores up urine the way Minnesota stores lakes (get ready to be introduced to the phrase "urethral sphincter," too).
If you're not so interested in the science (or are ina rush because you have to pee), fast forward to the 3:10 mark. That's where you find out what happens when you hold it in too much. The bottom line: doing so can cause trouble for your body down the road, but for now, don't worry about bypassing the bathroom so you can see the end of the that movie that has you riveted. Just make sure you race to the restroom when it's over so you don't have to wait in line.

Abbott supports senate ban on ban Sanctuary Cities in Texas
Governor Greg Abbott released the following statement Feb. 7 after the Texas Senate voted to preliminarily approve a bill to ban sanctuary cities (SB 4) in the State of Texas, one of Governor Abbott's emergency legislative priorities:
"As Governor, I will not tolerate sanctuary city policies that put the citizens of Texas at risk. Elected officials do not get to pick and choose which laws they will obey. Today's action in the Senate helps ensure that Sheriffs and officials across Texas comply with federal immigration laws and honor Immigration and Custom Enforcement detainer requests that keep dangerous criminals off of our streets. I want to thank Senator Perry for his leadership on this issue and look forward to final passage in the Senate tomorrow."

G'day Everyone. Wherever you may be on planet Earth, Welcome to
this Australian Amateur Radio website. vk5sw.com
My name is Rob and
I was fully licensed in 1970 when I was 19. My age is now 68. As a young
person, I used to rifle through a rubbish tip with my friend 'Lee' who
lived across the road from us, looking for discarded radios and
electronic bits and pieces. An old short wave radio, found at the tip,
was eventually pressed into service with the addition of a beat
frequency oscillator, 'bfo', which enabled me to listen to Radio Hams
talking to each other. By slowly turning a shortened plastic knitting
needle protruding from an IF can, the single sideband signals were able
to be resolved. It was very exciting in those days to tune into a Ham
Radio operator from overseas. I asked myself - 'how does the radio
signal get here?' With my interest kindled, I pursued the hobby and have
now been a Ham for nearly 50 years. A book, which I borrowed from my
high school library at the time, called 'Adventures in Electronics' also
inspired me. While in my teenage years and beyond, I built many
electronic circuits including short radio receivers, CW transmitters, a
cathode ray oscilloscope, a gdo, audio amplifiers and many other circuits which
I felt to be useful at the time.
These days I really like building website pages and I hope
that you find some of the pages on this website to your liking. It would be about 9 years ago
now, I think, when the brother in law, 'Garry', of my very good and long term
friend, 'Lisette' gave me a
computer program called 'Front Page' by Microsoft, which enables you to create website pages.
With no idea of what I was doing, I played around with it and found out quickly
that I liked trying to improve the page that I was working on. Some 9 years
or so later, I quite often find my mind working unconsciously on the current page as I
may be reading a book, for example, and an idea will butt in, and suggest to me
a way to improve the page. I then come into this computer room, after having put
the book down, and implement the idea. It nearly always improves the page, in my
opinion. At first the website pages which I made were very basic, usually a
little text and a picture. But as time went on, they appeared to me to be
better than they used to be. So, I kept building pages and now this current
website is the latest version. The reason I have spent so much effort in
building this website is because I enjoy building it so much. I like the capability of
using my imagination and being able to 'put it into a page' with the idea of
adding enjoyment for others to it, one way or the other. The background pictures
on the various pages are meant to create an appropriate atmosphere and feeling.
I hope I have done a good job of that. Please rate any of the pages if you would
like to.
HF Radio waves travel at about the speed of light, 186,000
miles per second. So, radio communication here on earth is basically
instantaneous. When I think of the physical distances involved when having a
conversation with you in say, North America from here in Australia, the fact that our voices are heard
by each other as they are spoken, seems incredible to me. Hardly any time delay
at all, even though the distance between us may be 15,000 miles, on the long way
around the world, for example. Radio
signals can take about 20 minutes to reach Mars, depending on our relative
locations in space, which changes in time. As our
reach throughout the Universe expands, our reliance on radio communications will
be forever more critical. Without expansion, I don't think that we would be able
to 'find our place in the Universe.' And without that wider awareness, I don't
think that we can advance, neither personally nor collectively. With a more expansive
and less constrictive outlook, and a feeling of greater insignificance in the
scheme of things, I think
would come a greater willingness of countries around the world to work together and expand our
collective reach and capabilities. We
might, possibly, begin to leave conflict behind. I have used some of the
background pictures on this website to bring to mind the fact that we are on one
planet, only one of the innumerable out there.
I purchased this large 'ZL special' antenna shortly after
having come on air in 1970. I often talked to 'Les', VK5LC on the 14Mhz band. He lived
on the other side of Adelaide and invited me around to meet his wife {XYL) and
have lunch with them. While there, I climbed his 40 foot tower and adjusted his
yagi antenna. I purchased the antenna shown above from him. It was delivered on the back of a
semi trailer. I never increased the height of it as it was too heavy and cumbersome, but
eventually transported and erected a windmill tower from a nearby paddock and
put up a 2 element triband Quad antenna made of fibre glass spreaders. It worked
very well, worldwide. Above the ZL special can be seen the first of my Hustler
vertical antennas and to the left, a rotary 15mx dipole. 'Mitzie' our pet dog is
shown in the foreground. My Ham shack in those days was the shed seen to the
left of the picture. I would also like to mention a station whom I worked fairly
often also on 14Mhz when I was first licensed, and that was VK6MO who lived in Como, Western
Australia. I have forgotten his name but remember well, his 'welcoming to the
bands attitude' which I very much appreciated then and still do, today.
Nowadays, nearly 50 years later, my Ham Radio
station is 150 klms away from home, located on our
property. The radios there are remotely controlled here at home in Adelaide, via the
Internet using the 'Remote Rig' system. A Wireless Internet connection
(4G, 2.4Ghz) is used at the Radio End as the nearest town is about 10 klms away from the
property. In my case, this has meant being able to operate remotely from the
home Qth as opposed to not being able to operate at all. Thanks to the
information given to me by Matt, VK5HZ, this system is once again operating
properly after having been faced with what I thought at the time, was an
unsolvable problem. For information about setting up remote capability, click on the
'Remote' link below. Youtube videos about the system here can be seen below too. The Internet has
absolutely revolutionized and transformed our lives and our hobby.
If not for the Internet, you wouldn't be reading this. I hope this
website, in some way, is able to add to your enjoyment of Amateur Radio. 73,
Rob, VK5SW.

Our worldwide scientists, experimenters and radio predecessors,
through creativity, perseverance, hard work and never say die attitudes,
have given us a hobby which, nowadays, has capabilities beyond their
wildest dreams. Amateur Radio Operators of today stand on the shoulders
of those who have gone before us. Of course, those who have fought for
our countries to give us our way of life, have given us freedom to
follow our interests, like Amateur Radio. We are forever indebted to
these great people.
We are on the forefront of
expanding our reach into Space, the Unknown. In order to do that, Radio
Communication is vital. Many people who are employed in the scientific,
communication and various other technical industries, can trace their
spark of interest to their hobby of Amateur Radio. Our hobby always has
been, and always will be, I believe, an introduction to radio
communication and a catalyst to careers which contribute to the advancement
of Communication systems and therefore our way of life.
With the
relentless march of technology, in this case the Internet, our hobby of
Amateur Radio is becoming more and more sophisticated, but the
fundamentals will always remain the same for us.
The wonder and excitement of radio communication.

Shiny Auburn Hills
Adalay, Lawrence of Berkley, and I decided to try for an impromptu trip into downtown Auburn Hills for a little night photo session. This was to be the first night session with my D700 and Larry was to try the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. Before we'd even left the apartment it began raining so I grabbed the rain jacket for the camera and hoped for some cool night photos with rain. By this point the rain was pouring down. I dropped the bag in the car and left both my co-shooters as they didn't want to get wet. Working in the rain with the Kata Rain Jacket was a little more difficult as it started fogging up. For this shot it wasn't too bad. Shortly after though it became impossible to see through the viewfinder. Not the best situation for shooting, but still a blast.

Discrimination in the Workplace
Discrimination lawyers in Los Angeles are well aware of the ongoing battle against discrimination. Simply put, discrimination is an action, based on prejudice, which seeks to deny human rights or social participation to certain categories of people. Eventually, discrimination leads to the exclusion of the individual or entities.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was set into place to help combat discrimination. According to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, "It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer … to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."
Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects in all areas of the employment:
- Compensation, assignment, or classification of employees
- Hiring and firing
- Job advertisements
- Fringe benefits
- Testing
- Use of company facilities
- Transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall
- Training and apprenticeship programs
- Pay, retirement plans, and disability leave
- Recruitment
- Other terms and conditions of employment
Discrimination is still very much alive and has a large effect on gender and race in the workplace. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law it applies to employers with 15 or more employees, this includes federal, state, and local governments. It is also applicable to public and private colleges and universities, labor organization, and employment agencies.
Take Action Fight for Rights
If you have experienced discrimination then you have the right to file a Title VII claim. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency and is ready to enforce many of the anti-discrimination laws. Take action don't wait to file your claim. You have 180 days from the day the incident occurred to file your claim. Free resources are available to help you file your claim. The EEOC website is available and can offer you instructions on the procedures necessary to help file your claim.
Benefits to Hiring an Attorney
Generally, discrimination law is based on civil rights, and will be processed through that lens. The circumstances of the offense will dictate the amount of compensation the plaintiff will receive. In many situations victims of discrimination encounter unlawful termination, biased promotion, or blatant unequal pay. You are entitled to receive compensation for such acts of injustice. Additionally, those who suffer emotional damage may be entitled to additional compensation. Overall, an attorney can help you receive the maximum amount of compensation. They are experienced and are here to help you succeed. You don't have to fight this alone, The Employees Rights Law Group is here to fight for you.
Success In an Employee Rights Case
In January 2015, the California Supreme Court handed down a decision concerning compensation for security guards for on-call hours when they are obliged to be on-site. Attorney Cathe Caraway-Howard was instrumental in moving the case forward through several years of litigation. The case, Mendiola v. CPS Security Solutions, Inc., marks an important turning point for employees who are required to be on their work site for extended hours beyond an active shift.
Employer Control of Employee Movements
The crucial element that provoked the case in the first place was that CPS Security Solutions required security guards to stay in on-site trailers during their on-call hours, restricting their movements during that time. The court's decision found the degree of control over the employees during the on-call hours was such that it required compensation for those hours, beyond the original plan that CPS had created. In the original employment plan, the security guards would be compensated for on-call hours only if they responded to incidents that took three hours or more.
Responses to the Decision
Once the decision was given, many reviews of it focused on the changes it would make for employers who required workers to spend additional hours on-site while on call.
The Los Angeles Times report of the case decision dwells on the effect of the decision on employers, after mentioning the benefits it will mean to the on-call employees.
The Employment Law E-Buzz site gives a clear description of the circumstances that led to the case. In their summation, the site writers urge employers to review their on-call practices, taking into consideration the degree of control they exercise over their employees in those hours as well as their compensation structure.
The website for the National Law Review also provides a thorough exposition of the history of the case. They also mention the laws and regulation that apply to the case, for those who might not be familiar with the details of law.
On the Orrick Employment Law and Litigation Blog gives readers a full description of the case and findings. Their final evaluation of the decision is worth quoting:
The Mendiola decision should serve as a reminder to employers that California's labor laws may not be interpreted consistent with federal analogues or the opinion of state enforcement agencies, and that standards applicable to one industry or vocation may not govern another. Cautious employers should seek the advice of counsel in understanding the nuances of, and navigating through, California's complicated compensation landscape.
Because many of the participants in the class action suit are Hispanic, Telemundo also gave some coverage to the decision.
Fighting Sexual Harassment
If you are dealing with unwanted advances in the workplace, any sexual harassment lawyer Los Angeles has to offer is prepared to help you fight for your rights. During the Fiscal Year of 2014, there were a total of 88,778 claims having to do with discrimination. Out of these claims, 26,027 had to do with sex. That is a total of 29.3%. Harassment lawyers in Los Angeles are prepared to assist you with your claims and can provide you with the justice you deserve.
Common Effects of Sexual Harassment on the Victim
Sexual harassment victims fear to speak up against the harasser out fear of losing their job. Since Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids employers from retaliation, you as a victim have the right to stand up for yourself and the right to fight back against the harasser. Sexual harassment can affect many individuals, even those who are not directly involved in the harassment.
Those who don't fight against the harasser often experience a wide range of results, such as:
- Becoming publicly sexualized
- Scrutiny and gossip lead to humiliation and objectification
- Work performance decreases
- Defamation of reputation and character
- Personal relationships become strained leading to possible divorce
- Lifestyle and private life come under attack
- Loss of employment
- Loss of reference and recommendations
Thankfully, Title VII helps combat these consequences.
Different types of Sexual Harassment
There are two basic types of sexual harassment that are claimed on a regular basis, Quid Pro Quo (this for that) or Hostile Work Environment. Both cases can occur in a variety of situations.
Quid Pro Quo
This term refers to situations such as employment decisions requiring the employee to comply with a sexual favor in order to receive approval or advancement. It is harassment if everyday situations such as assignment, promotions or trying to keep your job are met with the employee being required to conduct a sexual act.
Hostile Work Environment
This refers to conditions where the workplace has become hostile, intimidating, or offensive due to the sexual harassment. There are several factors taken into consideration when determining that an environment is hostile:
- Was the conduct verbal, physical, or both
- How frequently has it occurred
- Was the conduct hostile or patently offensive
- Was the harasser a co-worker or supervisor
- Did others join on the harassing
- Was the harassment directed at more than one individual
Anyone can be sexually harassed. Title VII covers both male and female. Additionally, sexual harassment doesn't have to come from the opposite sex. Likewise, the harasser is not always the supervisor. It can come from a co-worker or from other regularly encountered individuals. Sexual harassment can also be experienced indirectly; those who endure indirect harassment are often witnessing actions that are offensive.
In many quid pro quo cases, sexual advances that are linked to approval or rejection of employment or loss of employment benefits, often constitute harassment. In some states, there additional laws to Title VII which add additional protection. You should refer to your state's relevant laws, or if you are an Angeleno, contact any sexual harassment lawyer Los Angeles can provide. They are well prepared and ready to help you fight for your rights. Don't fight this alone. They are here to fight for you.
Employment Law Basics
Most people in Los Angeles don't think about the basics of employment law. They go to their jobs every day, do their work, and then go home to their private lives. They don't worry about legal matters connected to their position as an employee and what might concern their employer. Then there comes a day when something goes wrong at work, where the relationship between the worker and the boss or the company gets disrupted. What are you to do in such a situation? Do you even know what to ask a Los Angeles employment attorney?
What Is Employment Law?
Employment law, also called labor law addresses matters in the relationship between employers, workers, unions and the government. It can involve mediation of disputes or representation of one side or the other in cases of major disagreement. Often, individual employees need legal assistance in securing rights or proper wages from their employers, or in dealing with various types of harassment in the work place.
Types of Legal Concerns
There are many types of legal issues that can call for the need of an employment law attorney.
- Wage and hours issues
- Health and safety concerns
- Discrimination of any sort
- Wrongful termination or dismissal
- Working conditions
Any of these issues could at some point require a worker or an employer to need the help of an attorney who knows all the ins-and-outs of laws related to work matters. Lawyers tend to specialize their practices in particular types of law. So when someone is in need of legal assistance over a work matter, they need to seek the advice of an employment attorney.
Advantages of a Legal Advocate
When you turn to an attorney when major employment conflicts arise, you gain the advantage of their knowledge and expertise. A lawyer will know of more issues that could apply to your situation than you would be aware of. An attorney is far more likely to know the flaws and weaknesses of certain regulations than the ordinary worker would. An advocate who will fight for the best benefit of his or her client is the sort that anyone in a distressing dispute would want.
There are so many things that can go wrong in work situations, and workers need to be aware of them and of the possibilities available to make them better. Disputes could arise over withheld wages, or the employee being required to work extra hours without proper compensation. An attorney would know which legal precedents would apply to the situation. Perhaps the work environment has become unsafe for some reason, and the employees have not been able to get management to address the matter. An attorney can help them secure a remedy to the situation. If a worker feels they are the victim of illegal discrimination, a lawyer can challenge the action. Harassment or wrongful termination are situations that a legal advocate can help bring to satisfactory resolutions.
Know Your Rights
The government Department of Labor has general information about the laws that apply to various situations. Anyone with an employment dispute can check that website for the basics that might apply to their situation. But to know the how the details of various laws might apply to your situation, you ought to consult with an attorney who specializes in these matters.
Each situation may have unique details that affect the legal aspects of a conflict. An attorney is the person who can determine what is pertinent to a solution. When an ordinary worker goes hunting information on the internet for advice, they can very easily go astray in the forest of information. When it comes to legal matters, anyone needing help should always consult an actual lawyer. Doing that can save them time and energy, and prevent them from focusing on things that will not help them.
If you are in need of a Los Angeles employment lawyer, turn to Cathe Caraway-Howard. She has devoted her career to employment law, and proudly considers her motto to be "Fighting for the little guy!"

Daydreaming exercise
Choose a quiet, safe space to practice this exercise as you crochet. Allow yourself plenty of time for your dreams to develop and inspire.

- Focus on the steady, strong rhythm of your heart and begin to nurture those hidden dreams held within – your heart's desires.
- Softly begin to explore the aspirations you've held there, and as you do so, feel your thoughts gently untether from the demands and problems of the world.
- Allow your dreams to grow and flow. Feel them expand beyond the confines of your body into the space around you. There are no restrictions.
- Take time to enjoy the sensation of thoughts that are completely free from the constraints of your daily routines.
- Notice an emerging sense of excitement as your imagination opens up new doors, fresh possibilities and pathways. Allow yourself the confidence to explore these further.
- As your confidence grows, you will begin to feel strong and able. Be aware of a renewed sense of who you truly are. Discover your inner strength.
- You are a wonderfully unique human being. Focus on your skill and the beautiful work you are able to create. Realise your full potential, because you can. Acknowledge what's in your heart.
- Drift back to the real world with a desire to live life fully, to make the most of every precious moment. Make the decision to explore and enjoy the wonderful opportunities life has to offer.

Oddly Shaped Dice: Men of Action!
Being a fan of all things pulp, I know that the pulp didn't completely die out after WWII. Through the 1960s, there were a bunch of "men's adventure" pulps featuring manly men fighting Communists, Nazis, large snakes, etc, and eating steaks, and smoking cigars.
I'd like to do a one-shot along those lines, with a bunch of old-school CIA tough guys headed down to Brazil to raid a hidden castle deep in the jungle and take out some escaped Nazi war criminals. Maybe set the thing around 1960ish, so they can all be grizzled WII vets and so there's a hint of that Cold War espionage craze which was right around the corner. And a scoop of Jonny Quest.
I'm talking Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Robert Mitchum kinda guys.

(AllHipHop News) One of the biggest criticism against Azealia Banks is that she seems to spend more time feuding with other artists than releasing music. The Harlem native is now back to dropping tunes, and she's taking it back to one of her earliest projects.
Banks dropped the Fantasea in 2012. A sequel to that mixtape appears to be arriving in the coming weeks.
"Okay guys!! so Fantasea Two the second wave is going to be released via [Entertainment One] In March 2018," posted Azealia on Instagram.
AB's current discography includes 1991, Broke With Expensive Taste, and Slay-Z. The former XL Recordings signee first broke out in 2011 with her YouTube hit "212" featuring Lazy Jay.

Sea to Ski with Sarah and T
We are launching a podcast about the vacation rental industry focused on the professional vacation rental manager. We are owners of two different companies - one in Colorado Rky Mtns and one in the Outer Banks of NC
We need a logo for our Podcast that can be used on iTunes podcast, our website and Facebook and of course other materials as we create them. We'd like it to be colorful but professional, and have four key elements - the name of course, and then mountains/sea and something that indicates a vacation home. Something simple is preferred over complicated.
We would like it to be simple and clear to read but convey the essence of vacation rentals - maybe some version of a "home" and people on vacation. Attached is the intro to our Podcast to give you a feel.
