Born and raised in Munich, Barbara began playing the organ at age 11. In a fortunate twist of fate, her instructor was himself a jazz loving Hammond B3 player who used his foot pedals. Barbara's parents were jazz lover, and Barbara seemed to naturally absorb their sophisticated tastes. She was particularly drawn to Charlie Parker and Bebop in general. She seems to have inherited her creativity from her father Hans, himself a painter with a flair for color. On her most recent CD, "Change of Pace", a live recording with a symphony orchestra, Barbara surprised her father by using his artwork on the cover.
Barbara took lessons for a year and a half and afterwards was essentially self taught. At 15 she caused quite a stir around the jazz scene in Munich when she played three sets a night at a well known jazz club. Barbara finished high school, but continued performing at every opportunity during school breaks. She formed a quintet (organ, alto and tenor saxophone, trombone and drums.) Despite all the buzz in the clubs, the record labels weren't interested in a young German girl playing American music on an instrument nearly twice her age.
Undaunted, Barbara formed her own label, BEBAB, when she was only 21. This was a pivotal decision which was rewarded – literally. She received a prestigious award by the association of German music critics and the LP did quite well in Germany. Suddenly labels were interested and Barbara was able to do a stunning recording entitled "Tribute to Charlie" on the Koala label with a big band.
This recording appeals to me on several levels. Despite the big band, the arrangements are such that the B3 is backed up and augmented, and as with the many great Jimmy Smith/Oliver Nelson productions, the B3 is front and center and not simply one among many. Generally Barbara prefers to record her own compositions, but on this recording she does six numbers by Charlie Parker, one by Charles Mingus, and three of her own. It's quite an accomplishment for a 23 year old. Here's a video clip of her doing the title track in a trio formation.
Around this time Barbara also began appearing often on German television, first on some regional shows and then on national TV. She soon signed with the Enja label and produced three successful CDs, the beginning of her long term work with Mitch Watkins, guitar and Ray Anderson, trombone.
In 1988 the Enja contract brought Barbara together with prominent American jazz musicians in the recording studio. She could have chosen "No Compromises" as the title for this CD. Rather than opting for the ever popular sound of the sax, Barbara consciously went with a trombone instead. Not a problem for serious jazz fans, but it severely diminished the crossover appeal of this recording.
Barbara is a great admirer of Ray Anderson, who won the Downbeat Critics Poll five years in a row for his trombone playing. Barbara has spoken often in interviews of his creativity and unique voice-like style. Indeed, she gave him extensive space on this CD to explore and express his ideas. Almost without exaggeration, this could be considered a Ray Anderson CD featuring Barbara Dennerlein. That makes it a "must have" for Ray Anderson fans and very interesting for serious jazz aficionados.
His boisterous experimental style is an acquired taste – it's been nineteen years and I'm still not quite there. Kidding aside, his soft melodic playing is beautiful and his sense of harmony is ingenious – on these type pieces he is a true asset. And his "talking" solo on "All that Blues" is impressive and remarkably original. However, his loud power solos, while impressive and original from a technical standpoint, demonstrate why the saxophone has become so ubiquitous as a solo instrument and the trombone so rare.
But this CD, even if you aren't a trombone fan, is a "must have" for Dennerlein fans. Her playing is truly inspired and at times absolutely on fire. There's an amazing solo on "A Night in Tunisia" and this snippet from "All That Blues" is a jaw-dropping solo incorporating the best of blues and jazz.
Six months after the first Enja CD she went back into the studio and recorded "Barbara Dennerlein Plays Classics." From listening to it, one might guess that it was recorded years before "Straight Ahead" instead of six months afterwards. Naturally Barbara's playing is exceptional, that's pretty much a given, but it seems like this CD was driven by a desire to appeal to a certain segment of listeners who prefer standards over more demanding original music. "Yesterday", "Satin Doll", "Take the A Train", "Night & Day" – this is a CD I would recommend to pre-baby boomers and serious Dennerlein fans.
In 1989 a live TV concert was also released on Barbara's Bebab label as an audio CD.
In 1990 the first CD with real crossover appeal was released – "Hot Stuff." No trombone this time, instead Barbara enlisted the talent of Andy Sheppard, a great UK tenor sax player, the equally talented Mitch Watkins, and Mark Mondesir keeping a sophisticated and funky beat on drums.
With this CD Barbara introduced some technical innovations to her B3 and got some grief from B3 purists. Because she generally plays bass with her footpedals, she became intrigued by the possibilities of digital sampling. She was interested in coming closer to the sound of a contra bass. So using midi technology and sampling (recording) the individual notes of an upright bass, she was able to re-create the bass sound on her foot pedals. After grasping the technology, she took the next logical step and integrated midi technology directly into her 50 year old Hammond B3. The synthesizer opened up sound possibilities and she took full advantage.
This CD appears to have caught the ears of music critics in America as she won the Downbeat Critics Poll in 1990 and 1991.
1992 the third and final Enja CD was released, "That's Me." Mitch Watkins returns on guitar, the phenomenal Dennis Chambers on drums, on sax the truly great Bob Berg (tragically killed in an auto accident in 2002), and a somewhat less experimental Ray Anderson returned. In fact his playing on "Three Hearts" is worthy of special praise, and he contributed an excellent composition: "One for Miss D."
In 1992 Barbara also released a CD "Solo" taken from concert performances. And in 1993 she won the Downbeat Critics Poll again.
In 1995 Barbara was signed by Verve and she released the first of three CDs for them. A big budget, the crème de la crème of jazz musicians, and recording in the Big Apple mark a turning point in Barbara's career. TAKE OFF took off literally, it was the top jazz CD of the year in Germany and won several major awards. And in 1996 she again won the Downbeat critics poll.
In 1997 Verve released Junkanoo. She was awarded a Culture prize by the Bavarian government and won the Downbeat Critics Poll again in 1998.
In 1999 the third and final Verve recording was released, "OUTHIPPED." One aspect of the three Verve recordings which differentiate Barbara's approach from Jimmy Smith is her work in composing and arranging. Some of her best compositional work appears on the Verve recordings. Perhaps to the frustration of some fans, she is willing to put her own playing in the background and rely on other instruments to achieve the artistic result she seeks as a composer. On a Jimmy Smith recording, he was showcased, Barbara is a prominent, but not a dominating presence on many tracks.
Although Barbara is driven as an artist, she is also very rooted to her family and her life in Munich. If she had the same drive with regard to her career that she has with respect to her music, she probably would have moved to New York when she signed with Verve. She could have toured extensively in America and taken the standard publicity route. Moreover, given her musical skills, versatility, and reading ability she would have been a sought after session player, thus gaining wider exposure. With her physical appearance and charming personality she would have been a natural for the American market. But commercial success was not her primary motivation. Her decision to live and tour primarily in Europe is the reason that she is not as well known in America as one would expect.
Although Germany is a rather small pond in comparison to America, the German speaking countries in Europe (Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Northern Italy) represent about 100 million people. On top of that, in comparison to America it is a compact area. Thus, in terms of jazz she is a fairly large fish in a medium sized pond, and she appears regularly on television and radio around Europe.
In addition, she took up the challenge of playing the church pipe organ and now performs regularly around Europe on pipe organs. This has some great advantages – she doesn't need to transport a Hammond B3 or engage a band, and Europe is full of towns and cities with church organs. So she can live in Munich and remain close to her family without being away from home on extended tours – she can pick and choose when and where she wants to play. Finally, having her own label and a loyal fan base means that she can also retain total artistic control of her music.
Piano players routinely have trios with a bass player and drums. Because of her extraordinary pedal technique Barbara is able to perform as a duo with essentially the sound of a trio.
"LOVE LETTERS", released in 2001 on her Bebab label is an especially good recording.
In 2002 this studio recording was followed by SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT, recorded in a church on a pipe organ.
In 2004 Barbara released another solo CD, done on the B3 – this time a beautiful soft reflective recording – "IN A SILENT MOOD" (Link to purchase)
This was followed in 2005 by a live duo recording "IT'S MAGIC!" with some extraordinary playing. (Purchase link)
In 2007 Barbara released "Change of Pace"- a musical first, a live concert with a jazz trio (drums & tenor sax) and an 80 piece symphony orchestra. (Link to purchase)
Barbara has also done some interesting work with other organists. For example, here is a short clip from an 18 minute performance in a church. Barbara is playing the Hammond B3 in a duet with a church pipe organist. In this clip she is doing a jazz improv on J.S. Bach's Toccata & Fuge in d-moll.
Here's a rare treat, two of the world's premiere Hammond players on stage together – Barbara Dennerlein and Rhoda Scott. Because it is Rhoda's composition, she plays the bass pedals on this one.
I happen to be a big blues fan, so here's a clip of Barbara playing Stormy Weather Blues
I'll leave you with this last clip, from 2000 in Switzerland when Barbara opened for Ray Charles.

SO Apps 3, Reinventing the Wheel Is Not Necessary for IoT Software Architecture
The focus of this article is on the software and its structure required for end-to-end Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. Despite its name, IoT is not just about the internet and "things". Rather it is about systems – complex, end-to-end hardware and software systems consisting of numerous components collaborating to fulfill a common goal.
The software of end-to-end IoT Systems typically involves the following:
- Taking data from the "things", putting it into storage, and perhaps analyzing it on the fly.
- Using Big Data to further analyze the data.
- Using data analysis results to determine when to send control commands back to the "things", creating feedback loops.
- Presenting analysis results to people in via User Interface technologies so they can make effective decisions.
- Plus keeping audit trails, ensuring there is proper security, provisioning and managing the "things", and more.
Adopting such a systems perspective allows one to more accurately access the amount of effort, time, money, and skill sets required to develop a given IoT System.
Despite the complexity involved in an end-to-end perspective, the good news is when developing IoT Systems we can use all of the software structural (aka software architecture) knowledge we've gained over the past decade from developing mission critical distributed systems, and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Cloud Systems. We do not have to reinvent the wheel for IoT system software architecture and software. The structure of much of an IoT System's software is like that of typical Service Oriented Apps and that of Hybrid Cloud Apps (an app with components running in both a data center and in a cloud). This is why I have included this article in the blog's SO Apps series. Applying the software architecture knowledge from distributed systems, Service Oriented Architecture, and Cloud Systems can decrease the cost and Time-to-Market of developing IoT Systems, plus at the same time increase their quality, reliability, and safety.
Here are basic definitions of these terms to aid you in adopting this system perspective.
Definitions – Distributed System, SOA, Cloud Systems
IoT Systems are distributed systems by their very nature, defined by the Wikipedia as "a software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. The components interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal." From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_computing. We have been developing distributed systems for over 20 years and we have learned a lot (see the book Enterprise Integration Patterns for examples).
During the past 10 years or so we have also learned that using Service Oriented Architecture makes developing and maintaining distributed systems much more time and cost effective. This translates to a faster Time-to-Market for both initial development and for post-release enhancements to systems. SOA is defined in the Wikipedia as "an architectural pattern in computer software design in which application components provide services to other components via a communications protocol, typically over a network. The principles of service-orientation are independent of any vendor, product or technology." From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture. We have learned a lot about effective ways to use SOA during this time (see the book SOA Patterns for examples).
Finally, all of today's leading commercial Cloud Systems are built on top of distributed systems and use Service Oriented Architectures in their internal implementation. Cloud Systems are unique in that they are self-healing and self-scaling. In other words, when one of the computers in a cloud crashes the Cloud System software (like Microsoft's Azure) is smart enough to automatically detect the crash and move all the customer apps running on the crashed computer to another good computer. And, when customer apps require more compute power when using cloud Platform-as-a-Service, the Cloud System software is smart enough to automatically start up more of its internal computers, and then move customer apps to the newly started computers to meet customer demand. The advanced techniques of distributed systems and SOA that are used in building Cloud Systems that do these advanced things can be applied to IoT Systems to enhance their security, safety, reliability, resiliency, and capacity scalability. You can see more references concerning some of the techniques and challenges of building Cloud Systems at https://dotnetsilverlightprism.wordpress.com/2014/03/16/build-cloud-apps-that-deliver-superior-business-value/.
Please see the subsequent article in this SO Apps series for a list of IoT System Info Sources that I've found helpful. To be published in July 2015.
I hope the systems perspective presented above, coupled with modern service oriented software architecture patterns and practices, will aid you in developing highly useful IoT Systems that can be delivered on schedule, on budget, and on quality.

Boston may be the much larger city, but local dining world followers know that Cambridge has been home to some of the area's most exciting recent restaurant openings. The last year has been particularly flush with new hit eateries, from those serving shareable dishes of down-home cooking to others parlaying contemporary prix fixe menus. Want a primer on the last dozen or so months of must-snatch meal tickets? Here you go.
Alden & Harlow. The city's restaurant scene was abuzz when well-regarded chef Michael Scelfo left Harvard Square's Russell House Tavern to open his own new restaurant in the former Casablanca space. And Alden & Harlow has lived up to early hype, killing it (that's good) in a subterranean hideaway that conveys farmhouse-chic: shelves are lined with mason jars of house-pickled veggies, walls teem with lush vines, overhead hangs a chandelier of bike wheels, and hipsters crowd the bar for unique cocktails served on draft. What's for dinner? Shareable plates of inventively prepared, fresh-plucked veggies, plus meatier options like the not-so-secret Secret Burger. (40 Brattle St., 617-864-2100, aldenharlow.com)
Bao Nation. This fast-casual Asian eatery is tucked unexpectedly toward the back of an Indian grocery store, but it's worth seeking out for its eponymous specialty. Bao, Taiwanese steamed buns, come in untraditional permutations named for neighborhoods and landmarks: like the M.I.T. Bao (lamb with ginger and peanut) to the veggie tempura-filled JP Bao. (A nod to the Indian cuisine at Bukhara, its sister restaurant in Jamaica Plain.) There areeven dessert baos boasting caramel-bacon, all served in a tiny hideaway with scarlet walls covered in colorful street art-style murals. (575 Massachusetts Ave., 617-547-0295, baonation.com)

Brass Union. Want a date with Ms. Pac-Man? Head to this nearby newcomer in Somerville that merits the extra travel effort. Why? Because your American comfort food is accompanied by a treasure trove of games: think old-school arcade favorites, vintage board games stocked in the cocktail lounge, a 14-foot long shuffleboard, and oversized versions of Jenga and Connect Four. (When the weather improves, you can even play cornhole out on the patio.) Dig in to lobster pappardelle and down fizzy cocktails – including a rotating selection served on draft. When the tab comes, a Donkey Kong duel should settle who picks it up. (70 Union Square, Somerville, 617-623-9211 brassunion.com)
Commonwealth. Helmed by the eminently likable chef Steve "Nookie" Postal, a finalist on the Bravo show "Around the World in 80 Plates," Commonwealth is a restaurant-slash-market on the outskirts of Kendall Square. In rooms filled with rough-hewn woods, diners gather around main plates like lamb, ribeye steak, and black bass prepared simply but with sophistication, accompanied by a la carte pots of veggies and hefty sides, like cheesy potatoes and duck fat fries. There's a sense of humor too, found in the kooky flavors of house made ice cream in the food market side of the space, and in quirkily named brunch dishes: say, the Fatboy Pizza, topped with egg, goat cheese, and banana peppers. (11 Broad Canal Way, 617-945-7030, commonwealthcambridge.com)
Dumpling House. Cambridge diners no longer need to cross the Charles River to find the same handmade soup dumplings that have baited cult-like crowds to Chinatown's Gourmet Dumpling House. Despite dumping the superlative g-word, what this house offers is just as good – no, great – from the titular steam pockets of broth, spice, and meats to other Sichuan dishes like spicy tofu and braised eggplant. The place bustles, and it's not a space to linger, but those seeking a quick, delicious lunch will be in luck. (950 Massachusetts Ave., 617-661-8066)
Mother Juice. A mobile dispensary of healthy, cold-pressed juices and smoothies has birthed this new brick and mortar location, where organic fruits and veggies are transformed into vitamin-packed elixirs like the Kale Yea and Peary Godmother. Multi-day juice cleanses are available for daily home delivery, for those desperately seeking a detox. But the quick service-style juice bar is also a place to find simple, inexpensive snacks like Breakfast Bowls heaped with oats, acai, and shredded coconut. Oh, Mother. (625 West Kendall St., 617-286-6580, motherjuiceboston.com)
Night Market. This sub-street level hideaway hawks chef-enhanced takes on Asian street food found more commonly on the West Coast, like tins of salty Chinese fish fry, Vietnamese-style beef in a citrus sauce, and sliced daikon fries served with smoked tomato-ginger ketchup. Wash them down with tropical-flavored sake "slushies" in a funky brick-filled space with modern furnishings in bright pops of primary colors and walls splashed with propaganda poster-inspired graffiti art. (48 John F. Kennedy St., 857-285-6948, nightmkt.com)
Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar. The historic Rosebud diner car, just over the city border in Somerville, is a familiar sight to anyone who has lived in the area. But last year the Davis Square space was purchased by restaurateur Joe Cassinelli, the man behind restaurants like Posto and The Painted Burro, and fully renovated. The diner car exterior remains, but inside it's a sleek, stylish new eatin' machine, filled with tufted leather banquettes in cherry red and panels of rough-hewn wood. And elevated comfort food is not greasy spoon stuff: We're talking a whole hog's head lacquered in an Asian-inspired BBQ sauce, flatbread pizza topped with duck and fig, and chicken fried catfish with green goddess dressing. There's still a Down South charm, but the ante has been upped. A lot. (381 Summer Street, 617-629-9500, rosebudkitchen.com)
Shabu & Mein. This ninth eatery from the Fuji family of Japanese restaurants turns its attention to hot pot, letting guests sink their choice of delectable meats, seafood, and veggies into sizzling soup broths that range from goji berry to spicy curry. Plus there are bowls of ramen, those simple but delicious noodles that are enjoying a wave of popularity thanks to food nerds. (These aren't your college dorm versions.) There's a host of other Asian-inflected dishes too, from octopus salad to crab dumplings, but be sure to hit the bar for the sake and plum wine selection too. (148 First St., 617-577-7888, shabumein.com)
Shake Shack. We've always have heart for the home team: so if you haven't already, check out the Harvard Square location of Boston-born Tasty Burger, a mini-chain of delish patty grillers. That said, it was hard to not be excited about last year's arrival of Shake Shack a few streets away. Shake Shack started as a cult favorite in NYC, where it was launched as a fast-casual option from the same restaurant group behind high-end restaurants like Gramercy Tavern. Now a growing global behemoth – it just made a sizzling IPO on the stock exchange – it retains a boutique vibe through local touches like the Cambridge location's Crimson Red Velvet, a custard made with cake bits from Boston's South End Buttery. (92 Winthrop St., 617-758-8495 shakeshack.com)
State Park. Tucked away in Kendall is this intentionally well-worn recreation of a cozy dive bar. (In fact, the bric-a-brac strewn walls repurpose many décor items from Whitey Bulger's former Winter Hill haunt, The Paddock.) Shoot a game of pool, play a game of vintage pinball, then settle into a red leather seat for flavorful dishes inspired by Southern diner culture. We're talking Memphis BBQ spaghetti with smoked pork shoulder, "Nashville hot" fried chicken, and ice-filled pitchers of cocktails from the bar. The lo-fi environs aside, the food is excellent. This is actually the new younger sibling to Cambridge's esteemed Southern restaurant Hungry Mother. (1 Kendall Square, 617-848-4355, statepark.is)
Study. Here's the Cliffnotes on Study: it comes from the same team behind Journeyman, a Somerville restaurant that serves solely multi-course tasting menus that use farm-fresh ingredients to create haute American cuisine. Study follows a similar approach, emphasizing four- and thirteen-course menus ($59 and $125) respectively, although unlike Journeyman, it does make available a la carte ordering of oft-rotating dishes like ink gnocchi and duck heart. Want to sample its beverages too? No problem. Study offers unique flights of vermouth and sherry wines, including a "Sherry Shebang" that gives 1-ounce sips of each on the list. A-plus! (73 Ames St., 617-374-0700, studyrestaurant.com)
Taco Truck. The fleet of food trucks has yielded this Harvard Square haunt for tacos, tortas, and burritos overflowing with sweet pork, braised beef, grilled chicken and crispy catfish, to name a few. The fast-casual space, which boasts an elaborate mural made by a Brooklyn-based artist, fills up fast. But luckily the Cambridge spot also allows for online ordering, so you can select your salsa-covered eats in advance for pick-up or delivery. Yes, even this brick and mortar location will hit the road for you. (83 Mount Auburn St., 857-829-3904, thetacotruck.com)
Viale. Replacing Rendezvous in Central Square is this Mediterranean-inspired restaurant that serves house made pastas – from bucatini with goat cheese to rabbit pappardelle – and small plates like roasted bone marrow and fried calamari pizza. But it's no slouch in the beverage department either, which shouldn't be a surprise; the team behind Viale includes two alums of Green Street, a Central Square mainstay known for its killer cocktail program. At Viale you can kick back with a nifty selection of canned craft beers and inventive mixed drinks like the Old Plank Road, a tincture of bourbon and apple-vanilla maple syrup, or the One Trick Pony, a regularly changing spin on spike hot cocoa.

This application specifically focuses on the role of neutrophils during T. gondii infection. It has recently been shown in mice that neutrophils are essential to survive acute toxoplasmosis, but the means by which they mediate protection are unclear. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) are well known as one of the first components of the immune system to arrive at a focus of infection. The major function of these cells is conventionally thought to be microbicidal activity, mediated by phagocytosis and release of toxic molecules such as superoxide. However, a newly emerging view is that neutrophils are an important source of several important proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Our hypothesis is that PMN cytokine production accounts for their protective function, and that these cells are a crucial early IL- 12 source which triggers protective immunity to the parasite. There are four specific aims to evaluate this hypothesis. 1, Characterize the spectrum of cytokines and chemokines released by mouse neutrophils in response to T. gondii, and determine how the responses are modulated by exogenous cytokines. This will be accomplished using a combined approach of cytokine microarrays to examine upregulated gene transcription, and ELISA to examine protein expression. 2, Determine whether PMN serve as a source of cytokines, in particular IL-12, during infection initiated by intraperitoneal and oral inoculation. Confocal fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry for intracellular cytokines will be employed to achieve this objective. 3, Determine if parasite-triggered neutrophil cytokines influence type 1 cytokine-based immunity.
This aim will be achieved examining the influence of neutrophils and their products on dendritic, T, and NK cell function. 4, Determine if neutrophils display toxoplasmastatic activity, and if such a response is influenced by exogenous cytokines. The ability of these cells to phagocytose tachyzoites will be evaluated using fluorescent endocytosis markers, and effects on parasite replication will be determined by uptake of 3H-UdR, a compound selectively incorporated by proliferating tachyzoites.

text: How often do you signal ? I signal left often but not so often right, I'd rather have my hands on the bar and rely on road positioning. On Saturday afternoon approaching a double Mini (Inverkeithing) the lane flares in two (a left and a right lane). I done my usual glanced round and there was a car in the distance. A couple of seconds later I glanced round again the car was still there but was dropping back, so I did my manouvre. Gradually shifting to the middle of inside lane before a final glance and moving to the outside lane to turn right. The roundabout was busy so I had to giveway and few seconds later the car pulls up to turn left but stops also and a little old lady winds her window down. Her: Excuse me....... Me: Sorry ? Her: Do you not signal right ? I could have been into the back of you. Me: Sorry, I looked 3 times and thought you were a better driver than that. That finished the conversation but it got me thinking, even though I was wearing a high vis with two rear lights I don't signal right often unless I need to. How often do you signal?

I usually don't like all the rah rah fitness posts and blogs I see online and on Facebook. As positive and uplifting as people want to be, sometimes you have days when you feel like a ton of bricks is crushing your chest.
Today I logged onto Facebook and saw this post from Mike Spagnola of Edge Strength and Conditioning:
If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will. If you don't like yourself, nobody else will be able to tolerate you. Sometimes training is more about fixing a person mentally than ANYTHING else. If the mind if broken the body can't do a damn thing, so learn to like yourself and fanatically believe in your success, or go nowhere.
As rah rah as this is, its dead on correct. We, as trainers and trainees have to be able to look in the mirror and like who we are, what we are doing and the progress we are creating. Training isn't just about changing the appearance, its about changing the person.
Part of being a trainer is molding that person into a better version of themselves, your services should be a sanctuary away from their stresses and problems. They should come into your gym and feel like they can take that time to forget all about the day and focus on themselves. Its a form of therapy without the psychobabble and couches.
You, as a trainer, need to leave your problems at the door as well. You may have just finished up with a new client who can't learn form if you push them into it like a moldable toy, your car may have gotten a flat tire on the way to the gym and you spent 30 minutes changing it in the shit weather. Doesn't matter, you gotta focus on what your task at hand it, and that is making your clients into better people, in and out.
You CAN force belief into yourself and others by adopting simple steps to ensure their, and your own, success.
- Positive reinforcement
If they hit a PR, pat them on the back, high five them, shout with them, whatever it takes and however they want to celebrate it. You may be able to deadlift 700 pounds, but your client's 225 pound pull may be the best thing they ever did physically. That is still celebration worthy. Say "good job" when nailing form, encourage them to keep moving during tough conditioning drills.
You can also print out cheap teeshirts to give out to clients who meet certain goals.
I will be frank here, this may offend some, but I don't care. I am not a fan of giving out free teeshirts to every single client. Why should the lazy ones get something for free? Earn it, make them have a goal – whether its a fitness related goal, strength goal or body composition goal. You want to wear a shirt with the name of who you train with on it, for free, earn it!
- Learning about what makes them tick
Everyone is motivated differently. Some need gentle prodding and some need a swift verbal chop. I have clients that run the gamut between all of them. My football girls love to be yelled at, they feed off of it, they smile at it and it pushes them to blow their weights up. They are super competitive and they will train through anything. One girl rehabbed her ACL tear with her therapist AND with me. She didn't make excuses and I didn't baby her, she works her ass off and doesn't feel at home without me saying "what the hell are you doing??!! PUSH IT!"
I also have clients that need to be talked to gently. Some of them won't be able to handle a forceful hand, so I modify my approach to fit their needs. The training is still as intense, but the motivating tactics change.
If you don't learn what makes them tick, and stay stubbornly devoted to one style, you will suck as a trainer.
- Treating everyone as if they are a star athlete
Nobody wants to pay for a service that they get treated like the runt of the litter. Not everyone you get is going to be genetically gifted enough to be able to improve leaps and bounds in a month. Doesn't matter. Treat the best and the worst client the exact same way. That means, same service, same dedication, same encouragement, same follow up, same reward system and give them all 100% of your effort every single session.
The ones that aren't as gifted as the "elite" know this already, they will appreciate a trainer treating them the same as the superstars. You can bet your ass they will tell their friends and family all about you.
- Following up with emails, phone calls and texts
It doesn't end at the gym. It never ends. Clients are clients, but also friends. Communicate with them after hours, hang out with them on occasion (time permitting), go to their weddings, text them to see how they are, call them up and ask them what they ate today. Be the super-trainer that they need. A 5 minute phone call between sessions to follow up shows you care.
I went to a couple clients' wedding the other week. They introduced me to everyone in attendance as their trainer and most people's reactions were "oh we heard about you". That doesn't come from just 3 one hour sessions a week, that comes from giving a shit about them as a person. Be their friend but also know this is a business. The line is fine, it can be hard to tread for most, but its more than possible.
Following steps like this will change lives, retain clients, make lifelong friends and provide a neverending referral network that doesn't involve spending $$$ to do it.
Its as simple as keeping it in perspective. You aren't just a trainer, you are changing lives.

Wesley to Folks, 05/03/1942
Pvt Wesley R Slaymaker Co A 129 Inf 33 div Camp Forrest TennMay 3, 1942Dear FolksI got your letter yesterday so am writing today as long as its Sunday. If I would have written last night it wouldnt have went out anyway so decided to wait until today.We, 25 of us, had to go on an honorary guard to escort our regimental commander to the train. He was transferred. The guards formed a line on both sides of the road from regimental headquarters to the train and stood with our rifles at present arms as he passed by in a car escorted by motorcycles. It sure was some sendoff. Betty wrote about it hailing up there. How bad did it hail there? How did Laurences Birthday turn out? Also the Banquet?So you are going to double list some this year, how many acres of oats did you put in? I am glad that horse is doing his share. Wish I had a mate to him.I guess we are going back out to the range to fire our rifles and get a little more target practice tomorrow and the next day.I still havent heard any thing about furloughs except they still talk about them so am still in high hopes of getting one. I dont know just when.I hope Jean likes her job and makes it ok. Has she been feeling good lately? Sure sorry my letters were going up to (?euks). Never happened to think about there being 2 Mrs. L Slaymakers.I dont know any news. I passed inspection ok again Saturday. It was pretty tough this time. Lots of officers and they really gave us the once over. I have a letter from Darold and Lloyd and Mrs. Cooper so suppose I will be writing for quite a while to get caught up.Well, folks I hope everybody is feeling alright at home and dont worry too much about me, Im ok and never felt better in my life. Sorry I havent been writing every day but its really hard to keep everything done and write some too, but am going to try and do better from now on. Hope I see you soon, and good night. Love WesleyCharlie McCarthy is on the radio, pretty good.

(The following story is duplicated here verebatim from a handwritten journal. The journal is a blue composition journal, college-ruled, and Staples brand. The author of the journal is in the throws of a euphoric and dysphoric addiction with adderall. Speculation as to the author's identity is intriguing, but better left discovered somewhere else)
I have always wanted to get a picture of John Frusciante tattooed on myself, so I am really looking forward to getting it done. I know two people that have gotten tattoos from **** and they both really liked the tattoos that they got. One girl that I used to work with got a huge tattoo on her back of like a huge cuckoo clock. It is really cool and it makes me way more confident that he will do a good job on any tattoo that I get from him. The other person I know that got a tattoo from this guy is ***** a guy that I used to work with. He got a tattoo of all tese sports teams and his dad's name after his dad died. It is not the coolest tattoo that I have ever seen, but it is still pretty cool. All in all I feel pretty good about this tattoo as well. I haven't thought much about which arm I want to get it on, but I've got plenty of time to chose. I'm leaning towards left just on my first thoughts on it.
Althought I do have a tattoo on the inside of my left arm. I wouldn't want it to get int he way of the tattoo that I am getting. But I do have to consider that I will have the new tattoo on my right elbow which is probably going to get in the way. It actually way more likely to get in the way than the tattoo on my left arm. Maybe I should get the elbow tattoo on my left arm, saving more space for the John Frusciante tattoo on my right arm. That would also open the opportunity for *** to fix my sparrow tattoo in the same sitting. Maybe that could also save me some money not having to make a second appointment and I wouldn't have to wait. Definitely something for me to think about.
Other tattoos that I would like to get but haven't made an appointment with anybody to get or made any other steps to get are teh ahimsa hand on my chest, probably the left pectoral. *** would probably do a really good job on a tattoo like that. I also have never met ****, and I have met *** and he is a cool guy. The quote from Romeo and Juliet is pretty easy for anybody to do, so it wouldn't be that hard to get it done. I'm not sure where I want to get this one, but some places that I have thought of are on my leg, like on my calf. That's really the only place that I've thought about getting it. I don't really know where else I would get it. I would also like to get the quote from the Road. I have no idea where I would get it. A Daft Punk tattoo is another one, maybe something from Pulp Fiction. The Skrillex symbol that like three bars I would like on the back of my elbow.
Or maybe somewhere else because I might want to get both my elbows done by ***. Maybe on my ankle for that one. I would like to get a bunch of tattoos all over. I will also like to get some ear piercings or at least I think that I would like them. I am worried that they would make me look stupid or douchey. That would be the only thing that would keep me from getting them. I should get some like fake earrings to see how they would look. Maybe I should limit the amount I spend on tattoos and things of a cosmetic nature. That would be a good plan no matter what, because I need to be more careful with my money anyway.
The biggest drains on my money are eating out at work and books and other things on Amazon. Limited to only $10 a day, I would only spend $140 every two weeks. Obviously I would have to adjust to going grocery shopping maybe once a week, and then not spending money on several days to make up for it. If my paychecks are eight hundred every two weeks, and then I subtract two hundred each paycheck, seventy for my phone bill, thirty for Mediacom and twenty bucks for our rental insurance, that leaves over four hundred for grocery shopping and other expenses each month. Properly budgeted I should have money left over at the end of each pay period. Paying for gas is a priority and I should plan to spend one hundred and twenty dollars a paycheck for it.
That leaves about two hundred and sixty for food. Still, properly budgeted, I should have money left over each paycheck. That is a good goal to have and to limit my excess spending. Each paycheck should last me the entire two weeks, and I shouldn't have to borrow anymore from my mom or ******. I also shouldn't have to be completely broke for days because I wasted all my money on Amazon and food from Whole Foods. I have more than enough books to keep me occupied for many, many months without getting bored. Also, bringing my lunch to work will be good for my health and stress of having to leave for food. First, I think I want to work on my Vincent Bugliosi books about John F. Kennedy assassination which are both really long. I also need to manage my time better, doing chores arond the apartment to keep it from getting out of control. I need to start working out again, every day. This will help with my anxiety and depression and just my overall wellbeing.

A Brief Look at Texting and the Internet in Film/
Tony Zhou explores the effects of technology on cinematic storytelling:
Is there a better way of showing a text message in a film? How about the internet? Even though we're well into the digital age, film is still ineffective at depicting the world we live in. Maybe the solution lies not in content, but in form.

Bacterial motility: Bacterial motility is facilitated by Flagella. Flagella are the dominant means by which bacteria express motility; there are some exceptions, for example gliding. When viewed directly under a microscope, bacterial motility is usually described in terms of run and tumble. This movement describes bacterial movement as facilitated by the movement and rest periods of flagella.
Mycoplasmas: Mycoplasmas do not have cell walls and maintain some rigidity in their cell membrane with sterols.
Pathogenic Bacteria: Bacteria that are capable of causing disease are known as Pathogenic
Relationship between bacteria and disease: Robert Koch developed a set of postulates that are used to establish the cause and effect relationship between bacteria and disease. Koch's Postulates are used to demonstrate, through a multi-step process, that a specific bacterium causes a specific disease.

Steps to Forming a Nonprofit: Visionary Stage
Step 1: Determine if it is Necessary to Start a Nonprofit.
Is starting a new nonprofit organization really the best way to accomplish the goals you have set forth? Other alternatives, including collaborating with an existing nonprofit organization, establishing an unincorporated association, finding a fiscal sponsor or forming a for-profit business, may achieve your objectives quicker, more efficiently, and for the greatest benefit foryour target audience.
Step 2: Decide on the Purpose and Mission.
The purpose of a charitable nonprofit must be for the public interest and common good. It should establish a single mission and a set of goals and programs that will accomplish that mission.
During this step, a new nonprofit should analyze what it wants to do, who it wants to reach, and how it wants to impact society. A mission statement should be brief, timeless and descriptive of what the organization is trying to accomplish. This statement will guide the organization through not only its initial formation, but also future program development, growth and change.
Step 3: Recruit Board Members.
The initial board of directors will assume much of the responsibility in starting a new nonprofit. They will determine the direction and goals of the organization and set forth precedents for future board members. The first board writes the articles of incorporation and approves the original bylaws, does much of the initial fundraising and hires staff as the organization takes shape and becomes an entity in and of itself. This initial all-volunteer period can prove to be very challenging for new organizations, making it essential that initial board members are dedicated to the nonprofit's mission and to the success of the organization.
Step 4: Check for Availability and Reserve a Name.
Not only is it Minnesota law, but it is crucial to your new organization's identity to obtain a unique name under which to operate. Any potential name for a new business or nonprofit can be checked through the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Organizations can also reserve a unique name through the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Once a name is reserved, no other organization may use that name.

As of the morning after Election Day, Castle Rock's mayoral race was too close to call.
Initial returns showed Randy Reed was poised to become Castle Rock's first at-large mayor in roughly 30 years. Reed came out in the lead with the first batch of results released shortly after 7:30 p.m., although he led by less than a percentage point.
But with each update throughout the night, Jason Gray chipped away at that gap.
Results posted around 9 p.m. on Election Night, the second round, showed Reed with just over 41 percent of the 20,459 votes counted. Gray followed with 40.5 percent. Charles Fletcher had 18.5 percent.
The latest results posted by the county after midnight show the Reed and Gray within 0.34 percent of one another with 22,378 votes counted.
After the 7:30 p.m. release of initial results, neither Reed nor Gray was prepared to call the race because it was so close. The Castle Rock Town Charter calls for an automatic recount if final results show the top two candidates within a half percentage point of each other.
Douglas County was in the midst of a historic midterm election turnout with thousands more ballots still needing to be processed after 9 p.m. on Election Night. Official county results won't be available until Nov. 26.
But Reed and Gray said they weren't surprised by the close race.
"I didn't know which way it would go," Reed said. "Right now, it's going my way."
Gray, from the watch party at his downtown coffee shop, said he was excited by the results.
"I did think it was going to be a close race," he said. "It's exciting so far and I guess we'll just wait for everything to come through. Of course, I'm hopeful."
Fletcher said he was proud of the campaign he ran and plans to stay highly involved in his community.
"I tried to stay positive," he said.
Castle Rock's mayoral race marked a departure from the town's longstanding practice of selecting its mayor from among a seven-member council.
As an at-large mayor, Reed would represent Castle Rock as a whole but would not have more power than fellow councilmembers. The mayor will be sworn in at the Dec. 4 town council meeting, along with the newly elected District 3 and District 5 councilmembers.
Kevin Bracken was leading in District 3 with 44.7 percent and Caryn Johnson in District 5 with 45.4 percent as of 9 p.m.
Last year, voters approved changing the town's charter to allow for an at-large mayor and six councilmembers, as opposed to the former council structure made up of seven councilmembers who voted on the mayor from among their group.
That had been the town's method since 1987, when the charter was created. Before then, Castle Rock residents had elected the mayor for several decades, although a town spokeswoman said it's unclear if the mayor was elected at-large throughout the town's entire history.
Reed ran as the only candidate who had previously served on town council, including four years where he sat as mayor under the old system. This experience made him the most qualified person to shepherd the town into its new form of governance, he said.
Fletcher is an IT professional who believed the town needed municipal broadband to entice more primary employers into the area. He ran his platform on the promise of smart growth and well-managed water resources.
Gray has owned and operated Crowfoot Valley Coffee since moving from Alaska in the late 1990s. He envisioned a Castle Rock with more primary employers to support the tax base and hoped the town could wean off its reliance on sales tax.
In a town where growth has become a hot button issue, none of the candidates ran as anti-growth candidates. At an Oct. 18 forum, all said growth could be beneficial to Castle Rock but that it needed to be "smart" and "managed."
Each candidate raised and spent thousands leading up to the election.
Campaign contribution and expenditure reports between July and October, filed with the town, show Gray's election committee accepted contributions $1,000 or larger from real estate groups, $2,000 from a Chicago-based donor and $3,000 from the Riverwalk development in downtown Castle Rock. Additional out-of-state and out-of-county donors made contributions of several hundred dollars or more.
An Inverness-based Realtor Candidate Political Action Committee gave $1,000 each to Gray and Reed. The Metro Housing Coalition, based in Centennial, also gave both men $2,500.
Reed's contributions included $1,000 from donors in Cherry Hills Village and Denver. He gave approximately $2,400 to himself in contributions or loans.
Fletcher's filings show he received $3,000 from a Parker donor, contributions of $1,000 from himself and numerous small gift donations from Castle Rock donors.
All the men received donations from within Castle Rock, mostly in smaller amounts ranging from a few dollars to several hundred.
Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce President Pam Ridler said that because this was the first at-large mayor race since the town's charter was ratified, the campaign had garnered more attention and exposure.
Ridler said she wasn't familiar with mayoral campaign spending, but saw more chatter on social media, more campaign signs around town and more advertising from candidates than she noticed in past council elections.
Campaign filings show candidates' expenses centered around marketing, including postcards and yard signs; and digital marketing. Most of Fletcher's expenditures were for online advertising through Facebook.
The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce does not take positions on individual candidates but does on issues. The chamber opposed the at-large referendum before it passed, in part because it believed campaigns would accept money from special interest groups and outside donors.

CocoaBooklet lets you create a booklet out of a PDF file, it is a page imposition tool.
A booklet is book that is bound in the middle. Which means that a booklet has four pages printed on one sheet of paper (two on each sides). If you have for example a PDF file with 8 pages, you booklet will look like this:
- First sheet, first side: pages 8 and 1
- First sheet, second side: pages 2 and 7
- Second sheet, first side: pages 6 and 3
- Second sheet, second side: pages 4 and 5
The bottom line is that you simply print your booklet, staple it by the middle, fold it in two and you

A Trick of the Divine
From Spiritual Letters by Father Jean Paul de Caussade
I would gladly shout out everywhere: Self-abandonment! Self-abandonment! And again self-abandonment. A self-abandonment without limits or reservations, and that for two real reasons:
First because the greatness of God and Its Sovereign dominion over us demand that all should bow, should be as it were beaten down and annihilated before Its supreme majesty. Its infinite greatness is wholly out of proportion with our littleness. It dominates everything, contains everything, swallows up everything in Its immensity….He is He-Who-Is, by whom everything is, in whom everything is and who is All in all Things. Other beings compared with nothingness appear to be something, but compared with God they appear to be nothing. Their being and substance are borrowed, while God exists solely of Itself and is no one's debtor but Its own.
The second motive of this unreserved self-abandonment is that God has no sooner obtained from His creature the homage due to Its infinite Majesty, than It gives free course to Its infinite goodness…So that in the depths of this act of self-abandonment where she was to find pure nothingness, she finds the infinite. What a bargain from the hands of the Divine Liberality! What ingenuity on the part of Divine Wisdom! What a trick the Divine Goodness has played on the soul!

'What does love mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds ,'What does love mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
'When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing , you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they
Emily - age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
'If you want to learn to love better , you should start with a friend who you hate. '
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt , then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'
Tommy - age 6
'During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8
'My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'
Clare - age 6
'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'
Mary Ann - age 4
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
Lauren - age 4
'When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it , you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8
And the final one...
Upon seeing the man cry , the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard , climbed onto his lap , and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor , the little boy said, 'Nothing , I just helped him cry.

Community is: A Mythical and Sometimes Violent Dream
by Carol Zou
Lately, or maybe always, I've been thinking about what it means to belong. Gentrification debates tend to rest on this idea of belonging—that some fit in a place more than others, that community is a singular noun instead of a plurality.
When moneyed interests move into an area, the definition of that area changes. To be in community in a gentrifying neighborhood is to be in community with active agents of displacement. I have been in many community meetings where equal representation meant overrepresentation of landlords who were so unscrupulous and so uncaring about the people living on their property that they made me sick to my stomach.
Are we now in community, because we are
forced to be neighbors? Which one of us belongs?
I felt in those meetings like I feel now, like I'm living through this dumpster fire of a presidency in 2017 and being asked to come together with the KKK solely because we happen to share the geographic border that is Texas. Sometimes, an appeal to community is an appeal to violence—in order to define a community, we have to expunge what we are not.
And we are always not something.
Violence is the act of expulsion.
We can't just draw a line around a place on a map and call it community. As a queer, feminist, first- generation immigrant, I feel so much deep un-belonging wherever I go. My homeland, , is no longer one that recognizes me. Here in the United States I am a professional working in social change and placemaking. Back home there are no such jobs. Rather, they don't refer to Grandmother gathering in the park with her friends as creative placemaking.
What does place-based practice mean in a state of
What if we started making decisions in support of and organizing around values? This is what I want, more than I want community. I want a place organized around the values of poor, black, queer, disabled, homeless, colonized people.
If only city planning could get that right.
