Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement. Clinical Kinesiologists are experts in anatomy, physiology and the biomechanics of human movement.
In Canada, kinesiology is a professional designation as well as an area of study. In the province of Ontario the scope has been officially defined as, "the assessment of human movement and performance and its rehabilitation and management to maintain, rehabilitate or enhance movement and performance"
A clinical kinesiology is ideally qualified to implement an exercise program when an injury, impairment or anatomical variant exists.
For example, with knee or hip osteoarthritis or a joint replacement, the normal biomechanics of the joint have been altered. Compressional loading, alignment and muscle firing patterns are all deviated from normal – contributing to pain or abnormal function.
A Clinical Kinesiologist can work within the variants of the system and create an exercise program that improves overall biomechanics – usually decreasing pain – while not creating pain in the process.
Working with a clinical kinesiologist is often a bridge between suffering an orthopaedic/musculoskeletal injury or having a surgery and returning to normal activities including sports.
Scientific research exists to support the effectiveness of specialized exercise programs in reducing symptoms of depression, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease and other metabolic diseases, improving sleep, enhancing immune function, reducing cancer risk and improving body composition even post-menopause.

6.6 magnitude earthquake rattles Papua New Guinea
April 21, 2012
JAKARTA – A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake rocked Indonesia's Papua region on Saturday, the US Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The quake struck at 10:16 am (0116 GMT) at a depth of 30 kilometers (19 miles), 83 kilometers southeast of Manokwari, the USGS added, revising down from 6.9. There were no immediate reports of damage. Earlier, a strong 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia's Sumatra Island on Saturday, the US Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued. The quake struck at 5:14 am (2314 GMT Friday) at a depth of about 34 kilometers (21 miles), 427 kilometers southwest of Banda Aceh on the northern tip of Sumatra. There were no immediate reports of damage. Aceh province was shaken earlier this month by two huge earthquakes, triggering an Indian Ocean-wide tsunami alert. At a magnitude of 8.6, the first of the two quakes was the strongest to hit since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed 170,000 in Aceh. No major damage was reported. –Channel News Asia

The take home concept from this study is that if your grandfather ate large amounts of vegetable oil, it increases the chance that you will develop obesity. Ditch the industrially processed vegetable oils from the diet. Corn, canola, soy, and sunflower oil are destructive to humans in a variety of ways which I will be discussing in future posts.

Congress is poised to give itself new powers over the administration's ability to roll back sanctions aimed at Russia, the latest evidence of lawmakers' continuing distrust of President Trump's handling of the United States' relationship with Moscow.
The House and Senate are expected to pass a bill as soon as this week that includes language giving Congress 30 days to review and vote to prevent any move by the president to ease sanctions against Russia.
The move comes despite considerable pressure from the administration to strip this provision from the bill, with the White House arguing that it would give the president less flexibility than his predecessors to determine when and where sanctions should be applied.
Lawmakers in both parties rejected this argument and said they want to include similar restraints in future legislation, including a proposal aimed at North Korea, with Democrats citing Trump as a motivating factor and Republicans arguing that it should become the new practice regardless of who occupies the Oval Office.
"We want to continue on, no matter who's president," Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said in an interview. "I think congressional review should be a part of every sanction that we put in place."
On Tuesday, the House will vote on a bill that would impose new financial sanctions on Russia and Iran, which are meant to punish Moscow for its alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election and its military activities in Syria and Ukraine, and Tehran for its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
The bill doesn't give Congress the same review powers over penalties directed at Iran as it does Russia, and the House plans to add to the bill a package of sanctions against North Korea that also lacks this oversight language.
But lawmakers said the congressional review process is expected to be part of sanctions bills going forward, saying it's prudent to give Congress this check on the president at a time when rogue states are taking ever more audacious steps to develop nuclear weapons, seize territory and engage in cybercrime.
Many also acknowledge it is an issue given more urgency by Trump's recent attempts to cozy up to world leaders with questionable human rights records and his fluid foreign policy stances.
"What we've seen to date is not a consistent policy," said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who has teamed up with Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.) on a North Korea sanctions bill that includes a congressional review provision. "We've seen a series of tweets, but nothing that is consistent and clear, and that's why this legislation's important."
In recent years, sanctions have become a favored means of pressuring foreign nations to cease objectionable activities, including North Korea's pursuit of nuclear warheads.
Congress and recent administrations have clashed over the extent to which sanctions ought to be applied against adversary nations and individuals, with lawmakers urging harsher punitive actions and administrations angling for more latitude to leave diplomatic options open.
But even amid these tensions, lawmakers traditionally have offered the president the ability to waive sanctions when he determines it is in the national security interest of the United States.
That appears to be changing in the Trump era.
The president's affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin has been of particular concern for lawmakers, who worry that the president may try to dismantle sanctions put in place by President Barack Obama late last year, such as handing back Russian compounds in Maryland and New York, after his administration accused Moscow of trying to influence the presidential election.
Leaders in both chambers have endorsed an approach to Russia sanctions that codifies and expands existing punitive measures, while giving Congress 30 days to review any changes the president wants to make to the policy.
The White House insisted it has no problem with increasing mandatory sanctions against Russia but does not want Congress to tie its hands when it comes to limiting the president's authority to roll them back.
It would be politically difficult for the president to veto the legislation, and the White House said Trump has yet to make up his mind about the bill.
"As I said, he's looking over where it stands exactly at this point," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said of Trump. "I think the important part of this is that the president very much supports sanctions on those countries and wants to make sure that those remain but at the same time wants to make sure that we get good deals. Those two things are both very important for the president."
Senate leaders are ready to make this congressional review provision part of future sanctions bills, but House Republican leaders have yet to commit to the idea beyond the Russia legislation.
A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) declined to outline his position after several days of requests, while others in House leadership claimed to be unfamiliar with the provision and legal nuances it involves.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Edward R. Royce (R-Calif.) said he would prefer to consider the issue on a case-by-case basis.
Several rank-and-file House GOP members, however, said they want a congressional review considered for future sanctions bills.
"As we move forward in this dangerous world, I think you're going to see us use these kinds of vehicles, I believe probably in increased fashion," said Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), a senior deputy party whip.
"I understand where they're coming from, but I feel like oversight is good," Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) said of the leadership's reservations about allowing Congress to block presidential actions on sanctions. "And I'm a Trump supporter," he added.
Republicans argue that the push to give Congress a greater say on when sanctions can be eased is not directly related to Trump, but part of a longer-term trend that began when lawmakers passed bipartisan legislation allowing them to vote on whether the Iran nuclear deal negotiated toward the end of the Obama administration could go into effect. Many Republicans said they wished that Congress had insisted on similar review power when they passed stiffened nuclear sanctions against Tehran in 2010, surmising that they may have been able to prevent Obama from concluding the Iran nuclear deal if they had.
Although the Senate has shown support for giving lawmakers the ability to review any rollback of sanctions against North Korea, it's unclear whether that will be included in the latest legislative package moving through Congress.
The House plans to include its Pyongyang sanctions bill in the Russia and Iran legislation being voted on Tuesday, but it does not include the review language.
Still, experts say that cohesion around the Russia legislation suggests Congress is ready to assert itself more fully in the realm of sanctions policy going forward.
"We're seeing a Congress that's much more interested in case-by-case involvement in these fields, where historically Congress's approach was to just delegate what authority it might have to the executive," said Stephen Vladeck, a constitutional and national security law expert at the University of Texas School of Law. "The reality is that Congress is slowly and begrudgingly accepting something that many of us have been arguing for years, which is that they have a lot more of a stick to wield in this space."

Tunnels of Doom[edit]

|Role-playing game
Tunnels of Doom is a video game programmed by Kevin Kenney in December 31, 1982 for the TI-99/4A computer system.[1] It was released in two formats: cartridge with disk and cartridge with cassette,[2] as part numbers PHM3042D and PHM3042T, respectively.[3]
The features of the game include:
- Four character classes — fighter, rogue, wizard for games involving 2–4 characters, and a "hero" class for one player games.[1]
- Random encounters with monsters.[1]
The game is one of the first graphical role-playing video games . Based loosely on the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, it is a standard dungeon crawl adventure in which a player or number of players controls the fates of 1–4 characters as they navigate through a maze of tunnels.[1][4] Texas Instruments used the game in its marketing, citing it as entertainment software involving "strategy and logic".[5] In 2008, Howard Kistler of DreamCodex developed a revised version of the game, which he called Tunnels of Doom Reboot, that featured music by German composer Frank Scheffel.[6][7]
The game has several features that could be considered a first for RPGs and games in general. Upon encountering an enemy, the game transitions to a separate, graphical, overhead battle screen, where a tactical turn-based combat system is used that allows for movement and positioning. It's possible to listen at doors for sounds of monsters, which can be negotiated with in combat as well.[8]

[Risks Digest 21.84] Pointing the finger at buffer overflows Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2001 21:19:22 -0800 From: Henry Baker
Subject: "Buffer Overflow" security problems I'm no fan of lawyers or litigation, but it's high time that someone defined "buffer overflow" as being equal to "gross criminal negligence". Unlike many other software problems, this problem has had a known cure since at least PL/I in the 1960's, where it was called an "array bounds exception". In my early programming days, I spent quite a number of unpaid overtime nights debugging "array bounds exceptions" from "core dumps" to avoid the even worse problems which would result from not checking the array bounds. I then spent several years of my life inventing "real-time garbage collection", so that no software -- including embedded systems software -- would ever again have to be without such basic software error checks. During the subsequent 25 years I have seen the incredible havoc wreaked upon the world by "buffer overflows" and their cousins, and continue to be amazed by the complete idiots who run the world's largest software organizations, and who hire the bulk of the computer science Ph.D.'s. These people _know_ better, but they don't care! I asked the CEO of a high-tech company whose products are used by a large fraction of you about this issue and why no one was willing to spend any money or effort to fix these problems, and his response was that "the records of our customer service department show very few complaints about software crashes due to buffer overflows and the like". Of course not, you idiot! The software developers turned off all the checks so they wouldn't be bugged by the customer service department! The C language (invented by Bell Labs -- the people who were supposed to be building products with five 9's of reliability -- 99.999%) then taught two entire generations of programmers to ignore buffer overflows, and nearly every other exceptional condition, as well. A famous paper in the Communications of the ACM found that nearly every Unix command (all written in C) could be made to fail (sometimes in spectacular ways) if given random characters ("line noise") as input. And this after Unix became the de facto standard for workstations and had been in extensive commercial use for at least 10 years. The lauded "Microsoft programming tests" of the 1980's were designed to weed out anyone who was careful enough to check for buffer overflows, because they obviously didn't understand and appreciate the intricacies of the C language. I'm sorry to be politically incorrect, but for the ACM to then laud "C" and its inventors as a major advance in computer science has to rank right up there with Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler. If I remove a stop sign and someone is killed in a car accident at that intersection, I can be sued and perhaps go to jail for contributing to that accident. If I lock an exit door in a crowded theater or restaurant that subsequently burns, I face lawsuits and jail time. If I remove or disable the fire extinguishers in a public building, I again face lawsuits and jail time. If I remove the shrouding from a gear train or a belt in a factory, I (and my company) face huge OSHA fines and lawsuits. If I remove array bounds checks from my software, I will get a raise and additional stock options due to the improved "performance" and decreased number of calls from customer service. I will also be promoted, so I can then make sure that none of my reports will check array bounds, either. The most basic safeguards found in "professional engineering" are cavalierly and routinely ignored in the software field. Software people would never drive to the office if building engineers and automotive engineers were as cavalier about buildings and autos as the software "engineer" is about his software. I have been told that one of the reasons for the longevity of the Roman bridges is that their designers had to stand under them when they were first used. It may be time to put a similar discipline into the software field. If buffer overflows are ever controlled, it won't be due to mere crashes, but due to their making systems vulnerable to hackers. Software crashes due to mere incompetence apparently don't raise any eyebrows, because no one wants to fault the incompetent programmer (and his incompetent boss). So we have to conjure up "bad guys" as "boogie men" in (hopefully) far-distant lands who "hack our systems", rather than noticing that in pointing one finger at the hacker, we still have three fingers pointed at ourselves. I know that it is my fate to be killed in a (real) crash due to a buffer overflow software bug. I feel like some of the NASA engineers before the Challenger disaster. I'm tired of being right. Let's stop the madness and fix the problem -- it's far worse, and caused far more damage than any Y2K bug, and yet the solution is far easier. Henry Baker

On the side of the software box, in the "System Requirements" section, it said "Requires Windows 95 or better". So I installed Linux. [As told to me by a friend...]
"I have stopped reading Stephen King novels. Now I just read C code instead." Richard A. O'Keefe; http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/%7Eok
"C program run -- Run program run -- Run, C program, Run! -- (please)" Bumper Sticker

"So, when you typed in the date, it exploded into a sheet of blue flame and burned the entire admin wing to the ground? Yes, that's a known bug. We'll be fixing it in the next release.

> Feel free to post more examples of "Why c++ sucks". ;-)
Read through the C++ Public Review Document and look for occurences of the phrases "behavior is undefined" and especially "no diagnostic is required".
Or here's an even simpler indicator of how much C++ sucks: Print out the C++ Public Review Document. Have someone hold it about three feet above your head and then drop it. Thus you will be enlightened.

The Headhunters Live: Dance Party in The Green Mountains
Club Metronome
Burlington VT
January 20, 2006
What's it mean for a band to cook? If you heard the current lineup of The Headhunters on the Vermont stop of their abbreviated winter tour, you'd know. For the better part of their close to two hours on the cramped upstairs stage at Club Metronome, the notes of melodies rang true while each beat in the rhythms the quintet played resonated and reverberated.
Led by drummer extraordinaire Mike Clark and voluble percussionist Bill summers, once and future Headhunters from their days with the original lineup of the band as assembled by Herbie Hancock, this lineup does the legacy proud. It even extends the reach of the concept of the group as envisioned by the veteran keyboardist (here spelled by Jerry Z from Melvin Sparks' group), as the presence of saxophonist Donald Harrison, an alumnus of The Jazz Messengers, adds a palpable streak of traditional jazz to the ultra- funky contemporary mix.
It wasn't just Clark, lightning wrist rolls and seemingly impossibly syncopations, overshadowed (and occasionally fully drowned out, but to no great detriment) by the presence of the Meters' George Porter Jr. on bass though: the size and strength of The Meters' bassist tested the sound system in the Burlington club. Clean and clear for the openers Absinthe Minded, who tendered a flavorful mix of deep R&B and Philly soul, the expanse of audio broadened perceptibly as the Headhunters played, due in large part to Porter' intricate yet muscular basswork.
It never got any better than the first half-hour of the set however, the momentum lagging as the group went into some overly-extended vocalizing that would've better been left at half its length or less. Or perhaps confined strictly to the upbeat chant that was "Get Out of My Life Woman; on a tribute to the recently-deceased Wilson Pickett, in the form of a truncated version of "Mustang Sally, the Headhunters might well have picked right up where "Watermelon Man," as the opener, left off.
Twasn't to be, but the reworked Hancock standard was a marvel in itself. With Summers invoking the muse using a beer bottle (?!) as a wind instrument, the band sounded almost as strong, in solos and duets, as when playing as a tightly-knit unit. Almost as if to demonstrate how they arranged the song, breaking down the parts almost heightened the mystery of how it all worked together, rather than diminish it. Yet it also gave Jerry Z a chance to prove how tasteful he could play, never attempting to outdo the work of the master Hancock.
The absence of other selections from the Headhunters discography, was curious unless you consider the fact this lineup, none of whom appeared with Hancock at Bonnaroo 2005 in a similarly named group, was more intent on updating their sound rather than literally recapturing it. Nevertheless, the inclusion of such numbers as "Butterfly or "Actual Proof (the latter the title of a solo album and something of a signature song for Clark in recent years) to "Sly could've made for a truly great night of improvisation. But this was more of a dance party than a recital.
Accordingly, Summers spoke disparagingly of the previous night's gig in Boston commenting how the venue and its audience was simply too dignified and restrained for its own good. Such was not the case in front of the close to two-hundred bobbing and weaving constantly to the sound of thunder (Porter) and lightning (Clark) above Main Street this nearly-balmy mid-winter evening in the Green Mountains. To hear the Headhunters this night was to enjoy music purely for its own sake, no more and no less sublime for the lack of artifice in its presentation.

"During the few seconds it took me to connect the dots between his statement and what he really meant, he didn't say another word. He gave me the courtesy of remaining silent as my mind raced to find a way to avoid a fight that evening upon his return."

Off we go… I am not used to such nice flight times. Today I rolled out of bed at around 8 am and headed over to the church at 9. We had a nice drive to O'hare and now we are sitting around waiting for our flight to Miami. Besides almost leaving my guitar in the screening line, things have gone smoothly…
Not too much to update you on, but I do have some prayer requests:
I have been feeling a little under the weather for the last couple of days. Even now, my throat hurts and I am not feeling 100%. Pray that this nastiness goes away and that I can concentrate on the tasks at hand
I want to hear from heaven on this trip. There are some specific things I am seeking the Lord to speak into on this trip. Pray that I am sensitive to his leadings…
Amy always gets a little anxious when I am gone and this is the first time that alex has been old enough to realize that I am gone for so long. Pray that they have peace in their hearts and FUN while I am gone.
Thank you all for your support… Be sure to post your responses on the blog. It is so encouraging to see your support.

XPDay and the Drift Table01 Dec 2005
Bill Gaver gave an fabulous keynote at the recent XPDay conference. He talked about designing things for Ludic (playful) Engagement.
This included the Drift Table, a coffee table that enables people to slowly float over the British countryside from their own sitting room. The weight of objects left on the table control the slow drift of aerial photographs displayed in the table surface. This table suggests a 'hole' in the home connecting physical and virtual space. A display on the side of the table shows the location of the aerial image. See photos of the drift table in use
Check out this paper to find out more.
I bet you want one of those tables as much as I do!

Charter schools under assault by Mayor de Blasio have found a political champion: state Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos.
Skelos vowed to address the plight of charter schools — which have been denied classroom space and capital dollars by de Blasio — as part of state budget talks with Gov. Cuomo and state lawmakers.
"What the mayor is doing is unconscionable," Skelos told The Post Sunday.
Skelos said he was outraged by de Blasio's decision to cancel classroom space for three of longtime adversary Eva Moskowitz's Success Academy charter schools this fall that were approved last year by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The schools were supposed to share space, or be co-located, in city school buildings.
And Skelos said he was equally troubled by de Blasio's decision to scrap a $210 million construction fund used to build space for charter schools, as well as his plan to charge better-financed charter schools rent.
"We're going to look at all options," said Skelos (R-Nassau). "In our government anything can be done if there is a will to do it. I sure have the will. Absolutely."
Skelos said he was particularly irate about de Blasio's decision to make the Success Academy Harlem Middle School homeless. Space for two other new Success Academy charter elementary schools — scheduled to co-locate in high school buildings in lower Manhattan and Queens — were also yanked by the mayor.
"He's robbing the opportunity for 600 mostly minority students from getting a quality education," Skelos said. "We will have conversations with the objective to keep these schools open."
Skelos noted that the Harlem Academy's fifth-graders had the highest math scores in the entire state.
"Why would you pull the rug out from under a school whose students are achieving? To not allow them a path to continue is just wrong. It's appalling."
De Blasio defended the co-location decisions as equitable and fair when taking into account the needs of students from other schools. He noted that 14 out of 17 charter co-locations were approved, including five out of eight of Moskowitz's.
But Skelos said the city's education policy has taken a turn for the worse.
"In the past, the city closed low-performing schools and promoted achieving schools," he said. "Now we have a mayor who wants to close high-achieving schools and keep open low-achieving schools."

Re: Marking up liturgical texts
Paul Schaffner <[log in to unmask]>
[log in to unmask]
Mon, 3 Apr 2017 14:51:11 -0400
(90 lines)
I have raised this question before, back when we were encoding
lots of variants on the Englsh and Latin prayer books. We never did
find a wholly satisfactory encoding for liturgical texts, partly because
they are so various amongst themselves (what works for one will
not necessarily work for another), and partly because they can be
so various within a single text: the div-level organization can be
very confusing, without any clear hierarchy, with one labelled chunk
succeeding another without evident organization; within these
chunks, once finds a mixture of (often unmarked and often abbreviated)
'rubrics' (i.e, instructions, or narratives that serve in place of
descriptions of alternative versions, etc.); readings, often in the
form of quotations or centos of quotations; prayers, sometimes
in the form of litanies, sometimes not; call-and-response type
(antiphons); hymns; etc., all rather jumbled together.
Most of the time, when the format supported it, we opted for
dramatic tags: <speaker> for "Priest:" "People:"; <stage>
for rubrics (instructions); and <sp> for short direct speeches.
But this structure could not be maintained, since dramatically
formatted text would immediately give way to (say)
Lectio IV.
which might or might not be spoken by the same person who had
just been given a <sp> tag. Leading one to doubt whether to
create a new div at that point; or a floating text within the
currently open <sp>, or something different altogether. We might
start tagging rubrics as <stage>, then find a rubric that turned into
a multi-page commentary, for which <stage> seemed very
awkward at best.
In a word, though we used the drama tags, and supported
their semantic appropriateness, the actual structure of the documents
invariably seemed to make them problematic to apply, or to
apply consistently or confidently. I think in the end we would have
done better to have used a much more generic div/p/seg structure
-- though that has its problems too.

Over The Caning Horse
You've all seen punishment "horses" in spanking drawings, if nowhere else. Here's a detailed description of one being put to good use:
Rosemary, in a frightened daze, took in the room which , she realised, had once been a boudoir. Now it was bare with a few chairs and, in the centre, a wooden construction like a saw horse but on longer legs. Its top came to an edge which was minimally padded by old, well stained leather. Each leg was linked to leather straps. Upon one wall, she noticed, there hung an array of flagellatory instruments. Small whips, leather straps and a number of long canes.
'Now girl,' said Weeks 'Best if you go along with this and get it over with. Just do as I tell you and all will be fine. Slip off your pinafore and dress and be smart about it.'
Rosemary did as she was told, folding the clothes with deliberate neatness onto a chair. She now stood before the two women in her undergarments.
'Have the girl strip to the waist, Weeks, if you please. Don't want her sweating into the good underwear my money provides' said Lady Elizabeth.
'Off with your top,' said the Housekeeper and Rosemary obeyed, slipping off the simple white chemise to expose her young breasts.
'Have her mount the horse!' said the mistress.
Weeks pulled forward a small wooden box and placed it underneath the horse.
'Climb astride the horse, girl, and use the box,' she ordered.
Rosemary stood up on the box and swung her leg over the ridge to stand with her legs apart across its edge.
'Come down a little towards the end, then part your drawers and sit down with your bare cunny touching the top. I will do the rest,' said Weeks.
Rosemary did as she was told and parted the material of her drawers then placed her 'sweet spot' in its brown curls upon the leather which was marked by the juices of so many girls before her.
Satisfied that the girl was correctly positioned, her bare cunt pressing down against the hard leather of the saw horse, Weeks quickly pulled the box away and Rosemary now felt the painful and instant discomfort of the leather forcing open her labia. Quickly, Weeks swept up each booted ankle and strapped it high up on the rear legs of the horse so that Rosemary was now seated like a jockey. She then pulled the girl down at the front until her nipples caressed the top of the horse. Each of the girl's wrists was now strapped low down on the front legs.
Rosemary was now perfectly placed, bottom thrust up and ready, the edge of the horse pressing cruelly against the base of her mound and her clitoris. She now realised the cunning of this sadistic device to add additional suffering and pain.
Weeks proceeded to completely bare the girl's bottom. She pulled open the division of the drawers and worked the material back, tucking it under so that each neat tightened cheek was clearly on show and gleaming pink in the candlelight.
'Now there, Weeks, is a good sight! What a suitable bottom this young miss has. Well rounded, pert, just ripe for a brisking. Such fresh young skin, neglected for so long. We must make her do her duties without carelessness. A good cane, Weeks. is best for a tight little bottom. That one, the third from the end. That will get her working on the horse and give her a good ride!'
From the story "Maids" as excerpted at A Taste Of The Birch.
Lilly Lee commented on May 16th, 2006:
I've actually never seen a pic or drawing of a 'horse' being used. If you happen to decide to post one, I'd much enjoy it. :-)

Great drawing; although it would still be awful nice to see a photo. ;-) My DIY mind is churning over how to go about building one.
Sarah commented on May 17th, 2006:
Well, now…that just looks painful. Interesting, but painful.
Ian commented on May 19th, 2006:
Good story and excellently presented Bottom. Horse looks very high though for use by a woman doing the caning. Have you more pictures like this, I am sure Lilly Lee is interested!

Create a Wonderful Father's Day for Your Elderly Dad!
Father's Day is coming up quickly – Sunday, June 18th. If your dad is elderly, you can create a special day for him that will bring the two of you closer and leave you both feeling good. The key is to give some thought to what your dad most enjoys doing while keeping in mind what his current abilities are. Then plan a day that will be stimulating for him, but not overly tiring. Here are some ideas:
- Take a walk. If your father is up for it, going for a walk is a wonderful way to share Father's Day with him, especially if he spends most of his time indoors. Depending upon your dad's preferences, you could enjoy a peaceful stroll through a park, an energizing walk on city streets, or a trip down memory lane to places where he used to live or work. If the weather is bad, you could still get some healthy exercise by taking a walk around the mall.
- Go for a drive. If a walk is too strenuous, and if you enjoy driving, your dad might like sitting back and relaxing in the passenger seat as you drive down a beautiful country road or through a busier area with interesting sights to see.
- Catch a movie. Is your dad a film buff? Take him to see his favorite genre of movie. The excitement of being in a movie theater and watching a film on the big screen may remind your dad of his younger days.
- Arrange a poker party. If your dad doesn't want to or is unable to go out, bring the fun to him. Invite a few people to join you in playing poker or whatever game your dad most enjoys. Instead of playing for money, you could use food items like pretzels and small candies as a way to keep score — and then eat the winnings before the party is over.
Whether your dad lives at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing home, you can provide him with a wonderful day.
Unfortunately, not all days are wonderful for elders living in facilities. If you ever suspect your dad is not being treated right, contact an elder abuse attorney for more information. Call Garcia & Artigliere at (800) 328-2630 to find out more.

Pre-Passover Farbrengen: A 1982 Satellite Feed of a Gathering with the Rebbe, of righteous memory
|Nissan 11, Aging & Retirement, Counting of the Omer, Farbrengen, Lubavitcher Rebbe
|Nissan 11, Aging & Retirement, Counting of the Omer, Farbrengen, Lubavitcher Rebbe
Today I wrote down the english translation of the first 25 min of his speech to work with. I would like to have a little booklet. On the right side should be the original text of his speech, on the left should be the english and in my case also the german translation. So 3 languages in one booklet. With comments, cross references, etc. including explanation of yiddish words, which were used, like Farbrengen. For myself, I'm more then happy to received this precious gift with english translations of his 80th birthday, 36 years later, in righteous memory. But many times I missed his own way to express this wisdom. So - is a booklet like this in preparation or maybe already exist ? If yes - wonderful, otherwise would be also wonderful. Either way I'll start with the left sides... In advance of the end of the week, I wish you from my heart : a good shabbes
The rebbe was a strong person and those who were near him would always be inspired to carry on and they are blessed and fortunate to have a rebbe like him in which there is no limit and a person is transported beyond the horizon ..The important aspect is i guess to carry on with your own race and with your own limitations and not to compete but to enjoy the journey according to your own pace and to do tikkun whenever the need arises as well as to do more when the opportunities arise.For this tiredness and laziness must be differentiated as well as the ability to respond out of your comfort zone is needed.Like the rebbe said from the tanya we are indeed spiritual spirits having a human existence and not the other way around so the spirit has to be known and cultivated.
Extract from the speech by the rebbe at 1:09; We must contemplate how every moment is precious and that it should be filled with true substance, permeating it with the true Being, G-dliness, and with G-d himself. And this must be expressed in action: every Moment, every hour and every day should be filled with a true and living content... << i.e. nothing should escape my attention. There are so many kinds of consciousness, like the instinktiv con., the sub con, the awaken con, the consciousness, the self consciousness and beyond... according his advice, it will be work, work and always work, to reach that high level of consciousness, to be aware of every single moment in my daily life. Reaching this Level, is the aim... So I'll I ask myself: Can I really controll my thoughts, can I really controll my emotions, or are my thoughts controlled by my emotions, do I really master the circumstances around me, or the opposite ? Was it a lost or a G-dly day ? What a Birthday gift of the Rebbe !
Thank G-d for Chabad! 43 years ago I went to study in Crown Heights! Always keep my studies close. Your outlook on life will never be the same after you learn about Judaism. Happy Pesach! To the comment of the last person, your body is wonderful for this earth. Enjoy it while you can because you will feel differently when Moshiach comes.
Thank you for your kind words. You're right. This material body is a precious gift of G-d for our journey down here. And I know what I've to do and what I've to develop. To find balance first and at the same time to develop a heart full of His Love to reflect His Love. Nothing belongs to me, everything belongs to Him. There's a big difference between the relative and the Absolute Truth. Knowing much is good, to use it in every moment much better. Sometimes we're strong n sometimes we're weak. And sometimes like in my case, we feel tired like a pupil at school - and this planet ( not to say world ) for me is a school - A day in school. Just some wise and powerful words from the Rebbe which I really love n revitalized me, discovered during the Farbrengen : "I hope you will materialize the lesson in action". B'ezrat Hashem I'll succeed ... materialize the lesson in action. I'll keep this words of power in my mind.
This talk of the rebbe, cames at the right moment. This year I'll become 60. And to be honest, sometime I'm feeling tired of Life in my body. Because this body is like a prison. And sometime I wish I could go back again into the light ( if I see what happened all over this planet ), according my level. So I will study this lesson to find a way out of that labyrinth. ( Just to give you a feedback )
Sometimes - a language is a very weak instrument. How can one describe with words what he feels inside, when he is connected... while listening... to him ? Saw just the first 25 min. Tomorrow b'ezrat hashem will be another day to follow... todah rabah meod for the invitation
Is anyone aware of where this Farbrengen and others like it, are available in written form, ie- English? Toda
Is anyone aware of where this Farbrengen and others like it, are available in written form, ie- English? Toda
I was there and it certainly had a profound effect on my family and life to this day. There was
a certain awe and incredible spirit of incredulous feelings never before felt in prayer or thought.
To my memory the Rebbe spoke for almost 4 hours and I did not understand the words but felt
words were directed to me personally.
After the speech at 3 AM the Rebbe with so much spirit handed out to children woken up from
their beds in the community to receive a Tanya and a dollar bill from the hand of the Rebbe.
No words...Just a full heart. Thank you, Rebbe.
words what were the words of the nigun they were singing when the rebbe came in
and again...Thank You Chabad.org...again
Speechless dumbfounded teary and alone but no longer lonely...no it will never be sad again because through hearing and drinking each and every word of The Rebbe I can now better access G-d with true joy.
Thank you Chabad.org for bringing the Rebbe right into my home and into my heart almost as if I would have been there and then.
wow R' Manis looks so young. (though his voice didnt change a bit)
chizuck thanks this was really inspirational
Every moment counts! Wonderful lesson. I have passed this on to my father. A wonderful message for all.
inspiring As we age, we do grow physically weaker but growing spiritually stronger is all that really matters. I wish I would have met him, but given this website, I can in a way meet him. Very inspiring! I have a teenage son, who thinks everything is a big deal, and an 83 year old mother who thinks everything is a big deal. I think at my age of 58 that the only thing that is a big deal is doing good deeds and getting closer to G-d. Nothing else matters. My mom, husband and son are in my life and I always try to make them remember that growth of a shining soul is what matters, and if they can solve the "big deal" concerns of their age by helping someone else, (even through prayer) then G-d will help them with their "big deal". And anyway with G-d on their side, how can they loose!
The Rebbe It's incredible that on every subject The Rebbe was so lucid and correct and simplified all concepts which previously were difficult or obtuse.
Rebbe Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson's birthday sp
The Rebbe's Menachem Mendel Schneerson's heartful speech has impressed me very deeply and I thank you for this wonderful gift!
(And even from the tecnic point of view, ths seems incredibly clear.)
Beautiful litvishe yiddish Why is Yiddish not taught in the yeshivas today....what a loss!!!
Time management The Rebbe's lesson about how to manage my time is just what i needed to hear this morning! What a lesson!

Reflective Portfolio: University Motivations
I'd like to begin with an expression of thanks to those in my BCM 212 class at the University of Wollongong for participating in the focus group I undertook. The response from classmates made this project possible and the results that made it into this report have allowed a space to be uncovered in the theorist sphere to understand the mindset of a student in Communications and Media. I'd also like to thank UOW tutor Renee Middlemost, who took notes whilst the focus group was being conducted by me up the front, this was a above and beyond effort and allowed me to have two samples of useful notes with my recorded device to make full use of the methodology. Renee and Kate Bowles time and support to all students within the tutorial and lecture, and ability to provide clarification and work to enhance my capabilities as a researcher have definitely affected the way I experience the world through a researcher's lens.
This research project aimed to understand the intricacies of student motivation both intrinsically and extrinsically towards both starting and completing a project at university level. As a university student, my interest and corresponding curiosity into the way technology can submerge itself throughout cross-disciplinary practises and be applied to real world services that aim to improve or help a progressive society. With that, I wanted to know how those in similar university situations to me approach these tasks than can sometimes seem ambiguous or containing too much freedom. I believe that essays and projects or "digital artefacts" have a very important place in academic research, however, when one is used to compensate the others failure for the marks at the end of a subject, thats when I believe as a collective could be detrimental to the time and effort of others in the same medium.
Perhaps one of the main criteria in this overall assessment is my curiosity into the act of doing. The processes, skills and inevitably the failures that come with starting a digital project for a portfolio. Some further reading I've linked to my project introduction and something I want to reiterate based on the engagement and feedback from my tutor, is my passion for motivating students both new and existing, to undertake physical idea development. This is showcased through my guest speaking at a subject within communications and media, Convergent Media Practises (BCM112), whereby I love to hear the ideas from various people, and then encourage them to get in and start doing it. My curiosity almost took control of the focus group, as the questions I had prepared were quickly taken over by unscripted conversation and general improvised open questions. This is where the true interest was uncovered and indeed made the final product. In terms of considerations with regard to curiosity, it quickly lead me to start thinking about socially responsible research design. Thinking to myself, if i'm indeed creating a space that can be used by not only the students in moving forward and future assignments, but also teachers who can think about some of the points i've made in my research, but also outside bodies that can compare the results from my studies, to trends and workplace attitudes, my research has to be appropriately taken into account at the start of the project. I believe careful planning of time, question preparation, consistent talks with my tutor and the ability to adapt and accept any result and be reflective of this assisted me.
Critical judgment was almost something that came prominent within the secondary research component. The lack of specific information about what i learnt was a really niche question meant that I had to not only quickly adapt, but embrace the trajectory of where the research could go if given extended research time. I think the idea of my curiousity mentioned above meant that I had to be careful in what research I was presenting. A lot of the sources I was finding were interesting research but kind of alluded me to the fact that this space i'm working in is actually uncovered research, and what was interesting in fact in the project, was the trajectory to questions I was asking post-project. The idea of questioning education systems, a changing world dynamic, perhaps the relationship between graduating students exceeding or being ahead of society. These central ideas I believe is what is touched on with Mike Caulfield in his Digital Polarization Initiative,"One of our big focuses for the Digital Polarization Project has been to try to engage the curiosity of students — to get them to think like reporters rather than attorneys, as encyclopedists rather than activists. Turn off the rhetoric for a while and just delight in finding new things out." (M Caulfield, 2017). This however, rather being applied to the research topic or question, was more onto me as a communications researching professional. Allowing me to accept that perhaps my research question initially doesn't have an answer, but where the value sits is within the conversation and voices to do with the topic, such as those from my focus group, and gaining that contentment driven by my own curiosity.
The next aspect of this critical judgement was indeed the collection of data being transferred into useful data that I would then present into the findings. Focus groups only criticism from me was that everyone could chose to not share the information I required, fortunately the group I had gave some useful insight, however, as a professional showcase of research, I then had to decide which information stimulated the question I initially set out for, then, that was going to be valuable for the stakeholders i'm targeting and creating that dialogue between them.
I think in consideration of what could be improved or what went 'wrong' isn't the correct terminology. The space is now left open for building or further development. A survey was considered in the context of the project, but the idea was more to create a new field of thinking, something that cracks open a new and interesting thinking methodology, and the research values showcased in the lectures were pivotal and referenced heavily. Perhaps this obligation to a wider audience is the main focus out of the research i've started. A focus group was a great addition to this kind of research, guided that I continued the upheld values of being a respectful and communicator and those involved were reassured their anonymity. I was in an interesting position, the idea that I was completing a project as a student, about other student project motivations, meant that I had a responsibility to not only represent the student body toward a higher stakeholder, but I also had to be aware that this had the potential to produce very limited content, that ultimately affected my results as a student. This was quickly overpowered however, by the above mentioned curiosity and passion for helping get creative ideas out in the open to showcase skillsets of others.
Task 2: Project Design and Management
Earlier this semester, I detailed the beginning of a research project I wanted to undertake within the University to uncover the truths, myths and trends of student motivation toward starting and more importantly maintaining a project that would not only benefit the degree, but be a tool for creating and adding to the new age portfolio of digital literacy and competence when going to seek employment or start a professional career in a practise. My project proposal had a lot of ambitious research methodologies and aimed to gather as much information from students at the university as well as a survey and a background research into the generational trends that dictate student motivations
The feedback from the initial planning was succinct into a working model and a realistic plan. I'm conducting a focus group discussion with the tutorial class on Thursday week9 at 2:30pm class. This will allow me to ask the following questions to a sample of students that are required by the degree to complete projects or equivalent related to my project plan. The questions are as follows:
Focus Group Questions
- What motivations drive your projects at university across any subject?
- Do you complete projects or think about projects in the way that you could incorporate it into a professional portfolio or something you're keen to pursue after university?
- Do your projects require extra motivations because they're being marked at university, or does the feedback assist the final product?
- Do the topics or inspirations for a project resonate an interest?
- What barriers or "put offs" you believe stop you (and other students) from starting a project and making it publically available
- What projects have you done in the past that are digitally available for a portfolio?
- Are these projects possible career options, or could they be moulded into a career niche?
I've identified the timeline I want to stick to, and leading into week 8 (this week) I've narrowed down the questions I want to ask as well as the research I want to look into and see if I can crack the code university students and teachers have been trying to channel since I've began my learning career.
Follow my Journey;
Why DO a Project ? // Research Proposal
Are projects undertaken by students at university intrinsically or extrinsically motivated?
Whether or not students undertake a research project based on intrinsic or extrinsic motivations are irrelevant, at the end of the day we all are required to do one in some form or another and this semester I aim to conduct the "inception" research methodology of a project about projects.
Throughout my university endeavours my classes have all required a major project or digital artefact in some format whether it be a physical submission of a device or a platform that is openly active on the internet. These were all based, for me personally, on a curiosity trajectory that I wasn't sure i'd finish, nor did I know if it were going to be anything like the intention at the beginning. This is how I've come to be in the position I am, and is why I'm such a believer in the skill set characteristics getting involved and making things early and documenting everything can produce. Is everyone else doing these projects set out to work towards a practice field or area of expertise? Or are there those that create content for the mark to pass a class for a degree?
I'd love to hold information sessions about the class initially, ask them what their projects are and then to understand the process that goes into the making of and thinking behind a creative work. Does their curiosity spark their works and/or are they looking at developing a skill set in media and communications ie. photography skills or editing in particular software. In terms of data collection, I think perhaps a focus group of a seminar group would be effective my my progress. I would adjust the sample number according to variation in answers and perhaps think about creating a survey based on the results in the form of if intrinsic/extrinsic in nature in response to projects what these are, and direction taken after completion. I'd also like to gather my own research into trends on generational differences in graduates, and perhaps looking at a shift in values from university, whether the full focus is on the career at the end or the present experiences created by what interests us.
Compare these results with projects completed in the past, which could serve an interesting tool for students to engage with my final project to reflect on their university careers so far and the direction they're headed, whether it be theoretical or practical in nature. This kind of project links directly with a guest lecture appearance I made encouraging students to not think about marks and essays as the "easy option" or "cop out" when a project gets overwhelming or looks like failing.
Curiosity = Content
Perhaps a word to describe the origins of my university trajectory would in-fact be week one's topic of 'Curiosity'. I've always been fascinated with topics or activities that I have little to no experience in. This included this degree, it also included where I wanted to take this course and mould myself into the practitioner I am today.
I'm Sam and I'm 3rd and final year of my Communications and Media (digital media) degree. I want to take you on a journey that has been my BCM career to date, and how I plan to take the same mentality that's brought so many interesting iterations along the way.
In 2015 I walked into a class that required me to create a project with a digital creative medium to convey a message. Initially it was challenge because I hadn't used the allocated platforms, however I knew I wanted to create a video series and I wanted to do it with something I had no idea about and perhaps inform others that our curiosity could be this message I spent countless hours wondering what was. So I created a 3D printed prosthesis for a young child who had lost their left limb from the forearm down. This was successful and upon my curious endeavours was able to apply our creative communication practise to health sciences and engineering faculties, done through the powerful aid of YouTube and content aggregation.
This didn't push me as much as the curiosity bug did, and so by the next semester I was curious about an entire device, the Drone (or quadcopter, or UAV). This is where I am today. I was first of all curious how I could build a project with something I was backgrounded in with a technology I once thought was a breed of cattle. So, inevitably, it was taken to the farm I worked on before moving to university and created a short series on Drones Agricultural Uses. This was with the cheapest off the shelf drone and the free software pre-installed on my laptop at the time. The aesthetic didn't interest me, the curious nature of pumping out what another use for this technology did, and these particular videos helped me reach some sort of message, and with perhaps better resources the crisp quality could have met those who needed it.
Today, I've come along way in teaching myself through thorough research of Wiki-hole like trial and error. I've successfully built my own drone, by first wondering how it all works and buying a cheap off the shelf one and taking it all apart screw by screw. I was curious to how I could apply my fascination with their usage outside commercially safe aerial photography and videography, which has lead me to customising my own to do what I need it to do.
Curiosity has lead me into trying to change the way these devices are thought about at surveillance and military tools into how they're application to make certain jobs safer or increase an aesthetic to a film or movie video piece. This is my exploration with the device i've created and want to continue to give the opportunity of showcasing and receiving feedback. My device being 360 degree video enabled highlights the curious nature of the user, and gives them freedom to all but fly the device to see what they desire. This will hopefully make sense in the projects I conduct in the future, whereby YouTube video content doesn't restrict its user to view what I intended.

You will be aware that following complaints regarding the cars parked on the verge on Yarmouth Road, Norfolk County Council put in the temporary measure of parking bays on the road, thus reducing the width of the road.
From 19th December 2017 to 8th January 2018 a Facebook Poll was published on the Parish Council Facebook page whereby people were asked to vote whether they believed that cars should park on the verge or in the parking bays. This poll reached 1,390 people on Facebook plus those that have visited our website. 93 votes were counted, and the result is as follows: –
59% voted for the cars to park on the verge
41% voted for the cars to park in the bays
As stated this is a temporary measure and at the Parish Council meeting in January the results were discussed. It was also noted at this meeting that the detailed planning application from the Hopkins Homes development in Yarmouth Road will include their treatment of Yarmouth Road and it was therefore agreed to leave the parking bays as they are and wait to see what is proposed in the Hopkins Homes plan and by Norfolk County Council as part of their representations to the planning application.
