Q&A: Performing Artivism
Sida Liu, assistant professor of sociology and law at the University of Toronto. Professor Liu was a guest speaker for the 2018 LRCCS noon lecture series.
Q: What was your talk about?
I gave a talk about performing artivism in China. It is about how feminists, lawyers and other activists use performance arts and social media to mobilize and to pursue their activism. We call it "artivism" because it's a combination between art and activism.
Q: Can you give me some examples?
For example, since 2012, feminist activists have organized quite a few what they called "actions" (行动) to support the legislation of the Anti-Domestic Violence Law. They took topless pictures of themselves or wore "bloody" wedding dresses stained in red color. Those pictures were then posted on Weibo and other social media platforms. Some pictures went viral and raised the consciousness of the people about domestic violence problems.
Q: Why are they using this way, not other ways?
In the case of feminists, they were a younger generation of feminists, rising at that time.
The older generation, like professor Wang Zheng, is still at the core of the feminist movements in China. Her generation and some intellectuals in the 40s and 50s are more traditional feminists. They introduced feminist theories and wrote in the traditional, mainstream media.
About seven or eight years ago, we saw this new generation young feminists emerging. At that time most of them were college students. My co-author Wang Di was also a member of this group. She was in college in the late 2000s to early 2010. They started to use entertaining and performative ways to do feminism. I think partly because they were young and confident, but also because they had few resources within the system (体制内). For example, they don't have access to the traditional media, as they don't have the discourse of power (话语权). They turned to social media and it also happened that new social media like Weibo was really popular that time. So they took advantage of it. And they used very conspicuous and sometimes even radical means to show the public their causes.
Q: How about the lawyers?
It is a different situation. I don't think it's because lawyers don't have resources or young. In fact, the lawyer activists are older than the feminists. For example, two lawyers put on their lawyer robes, carry a bag of sweet potatoes, and then march around the courthouse for hours to protest against the judges, adapting the idea from the old Chinese saying "当官不为民做主,不如回家卖红薯" ("If an official does not hold justice for the people, he'd better go home and sell sweet potatoes"). Another lawyer used a hidden poem in his confession in court to protest against the illegalities in the judicial process.
I think the primary reason why lawyers started to use performance art is because they got really frustrated by how the legal system worked. They realized that using the traditional and professional means was not going to work very well, and it never really worked perfectly well. With the rise of social media, they realized there was a new instrument which they could use to challenge the judges, procurators, and the police outside the courthouse, in the public domain, on Weibo and other social media.
Q: So they were trying to get some support from the public?
Absolutely. It was all about getting public attention. I mean for both feminists and lawyers.
My co-author Wang Di and I developed this theoretical framework for explaining the rise of artivism. But very soon we realized that the state was the biggest performer in China. For example, the state has all the propaganda instruments, on all these things we care about, like gender equality and human rights. There are a lot of things going on in the backstage behind their frontstage performance.
I think what the feminists and lawyers were trying to do was really to perform differently from the state's narrative and to present an alternative voice. To be in front of the public, to challenge the state's official narrative, and hopefully to shape public opinion in the long term. It is almost like using the public opinion as a stage to promote gender equality, anti-domestic violence, legal reform, or even political activism and human rights.
Q: Was it successful at that time?
For two or three years, between 2011 and 2013 or 2014, they were very successful in many cases, in terms of getting attention and getting outcomes. There were a few legal cases, like the Beihai case and the Xiaohe case around 2011-2012. Lawyers put stuff on Weibo and online as the trials went on and generated a lot of pressure on the court. The courts actually changed their behavior and eventually released the defendants.
For the feminist movement, the Anti-domestic Violence Law had been in the making in China since the mid-2000s. But after the young feminists started this kind of radical performance in public, it definitely facilitated the legislation. As a result, the law was finally passed in 2015.
Q: What happened after 2015?
2015 was a big turning point for both movements, the feminist movement and lawyer activism. The "Feminist Five" were detained in March 2015. The same year in July, there was the "709 Crackdown" on activist lawyers. More than 200 lawyers were taken in for questioning or detained. Many of them were released shortly, but some were charged criminally later. Both movements suffered major setbacks in 2015.
The government felt threatened by the growth of the movements. Its biggest fear was that lawyers, feminists, labor activists, all these movements coming together against it. Those movements were parallel developments around the same time but they didn't interact much. So the state felt the need to crack them down. In Chinese, it is called 杀鸡给猴看 ("To kill the chicken to frighten the monkeys").
Q: It has been three years since 2015. Does the artivism still exist?
It still exists but it's getting harder to do. It is also getting more creative. For example, after the Feminists Five incident, feminist activists realized that giving out flyers on the subway was probably not going to work anymore. So they tried to buy a billboard in the Guangzhou subway to promote the anti-sexual harassment agenda. But then they ran into all kinds of trouble. They were not allowed to use photos so they designed a cartoon. But their request was still not granted. Eventually they came up with this brilliant idea. One of the activists wore the cartoon image on her shoulders to become a human flesh billboard for anti-sexual harassment. And it was also replicated by other feminists in multiple cities.
Q: Do you think this is going to die out or there will be another different form of artivism?
I don't think it will die out. It is a cat-and-mouse game. You have to play the game with the state constantly and creatively. And there will always be activists who want to play the game. I study Chinese law, and I see the number of activist lawyers over the past 10-15 years keeps going up. One reason is simply demography. China has about 365,000 lawyers now. Every year, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 new lawyers joining the bar. It is growing really fast. If one percent of them became politically active, that would be 200 or 300 lawyers. Even if half of them got disbarred, then it would still end up with at least 100 new activist lawyers, every year. I'm not too pessimistic given this demographic trend.
There will always be new technology and new ways activists can use. For example, feminists used to use WeChat. Then they realized WeChat was not safe, so they started to use Telegraph, Signal, or some other apps. There are always ways they could get around. But not all these different generations of technologies help mobilization in the same way. I think Weibo, Twitter this kind of public social media platforms have probably been the most powerful ones. Because one post can reach the general public. WeChat is only semi-public, and it is not that effective.
Who knows? Maybe five years from now, we'll have a new generation of even more powerful technologies. It's a big question mark. But as long as we have the people persist in doing feminism or political activism, I'm optimistic for the future.
Q: What you would like people to take away from your talk?
The first is to understand and appreciate the importance of what the activists are doing and why they are doing it. It's very important, especially in the context of China, to have voices outside of the state and voices and performances that are different from those of the state. If the only performance you can see was from the state, that would be a horrible situation. Although the activists are facing so many challenges and difficulties, I really hope that, by doing this research project and giving the talk, we can make more people appreciate what they do. I think they're doing very difficult but important work for China's future.

"You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:14-15
A local radio station had some 'tips for black Friday' and they gave some advice on how to get the best deals and effectively weave through the crowds. My advice? If you know me you are well aware that my Christmas presents were procured by the end of September. So my advice, don't go out. Stay home and consider the relevance of the other Friday; Good Friday and how that corresponds with the Christ child born in the little town of Bethlehem. That was the greatest gift in the history of this world. No gift on Black Friday can touch that gift that came down from Heaven and dwelled among us. These four from the Lutheran school at Merrotte know nothing about 'black Friday' but can tell you about Christmas, Good Friday and Easter and the reason for their HOPE; Jesus. One dollar will buy their lunch and that is a really great black Friday deal that goes a long way. I am closing today with the words from the hymn 'What a Friend we have in Jesus' that were written by Joseph Scriven in 1865.
"What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry
ev'rything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry ev'rything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a Friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our Refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; in His arms He'll take and shield thee, thou wilt find a solace there."
Dear Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay

Deployment using Passenger WSGI (as used on several shared hosting providers such as Dreamhost) is fairly straightforward, once you have a python3 environment working. However, on some web hosts, setting up python3 isn't quite obvious.
Building Python 3
First you need a Python 3 environment. On most shared hosting providers you can
create one by using
ssh to log in to your shell account and then downloaded the Python source
distribution. For example, for version 3.7.0, you'd do:
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.0/Python-3.7.0.tgz
tar xzvf Python-3.7.0.tgz
Then building it is fairly straightforward:
cd Python-3.7.0
./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/python-3.7.0 --enable-optimizations
nice -19 make build_all
make install
nice -19 is to reduce the chances that Dreamhost's process killer kicks in
for the build, and
build_all builds Python without building unit tests.
At this point you'll want to add Python 3 to the environment, by adding the
following lines to your login script (usually
# python3
export PATH=$HOME/opt/python-3.7.0/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
Log out and back in (or run the
export line directly) and you should now have Python 3.7.0 on your path.
You can verify this by typing
python3 --version
pip3 --version
If all worked well, you can now install
pip3 install --user pipenv
and, optionally, add this line to your
~/.bash_profile to get better shell
tab completion:
eval "$(pipenv --completion)"
Set up the virtual environment
Now it's time to set up your virtual environment for Publ. Again,
ssh to your webhost and do the following:
cd (website_directory)
pipenv --three
pipenv install Publ
This sets up the virtual environment and installs Publ and its dependencies. Now you need to write a
passenger_wsgi.py script that tells Passenger how to run it. A fuller example is in the files for this site but a minimal version is below:
import sys
import os
import subprocess
# hack to keep click happy
os.environ['LANG'] = 'C.UTF-8'
os.environ['LC_ALL'] = 'C.UTF-8'
INTERP = subprocess.check_output(
['pipenv', 'run', 'which', 'python3']).strip().decode('utf-8')
if sys.executable != INTERP:
os.execl(INTERP, INTERP, *sys.argv)
from main import app as application
Configure the website
Once you get your files on your server, it's generally a matter of telling Passenger where to find the files. Generally, this involves going to your web host's configuration panel and configuring your website to use Passenger. Different hosts may have different requirements. Known configurations are below:
Configure your web domain as follows:
- Remove WWW from URL
- Web directory:
/home/(username)/(site file directory)/public
- HTTPS (via LetsEncrypt): Yes
- Passenger (Ruby/NodeJS/Python apps only): Yes
You will also need to have a
public directory, ideally with a symbolic link to your
static directory inside of it; you can set this up by logging in and doing something like:
cd (website_directory)
mkdir -p public
cd public
ln -s ../static .
You will also probably want to create a
.htaccess file under
public/ with the following contents:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ /$1.PUBL_PATHALIAS [L]
Care and feeding
Upgrading Publ should just be a matter of
sshing to your host,
cding into the site directory, and running:
pipenv update
After doing this, or after changing any site templates, you'll want to restart your website. On Dreamhost you do this with:
cd (website_directory)
mkdir -p tmp # only necessary the first time
touch tmp/restart.txt

It's nestled in a valley amongst gently rolling hills in the picturesque Welsh countryside. The property and surrounding countryside has a generous smattering of those trees with the curly branches that I so … Continue reading

Hey guys,
This plane is owned by the Iranian Air Force and it's not a civilian plane. The registration for it is 5-8114 (not to be mistaken with the old 5-8115) and the type should not have the "(SCD)". If it's possible please correct the errors.
Best regards,
Fixed! Thanks a lot.
Could you change the Operator to Horizon Swiss Flight Academy please? Thank you!
Hey guys, I mistakenly stated that these two planes are owned by "Iran - Air Force", but actually they are owned by "Iran - Revolutionary Guard". Also, The type for them is "Pakistan MFI-17 Mushshak" and not "Saab". I would really appreciate if you can make the correction:
Best regards,
Good Morning/Afternoon, by mistake I put DFW instead of DTO for the location. Would y'all mind changing it?
Dayon Wong
Check. Corrected airline also.
I would also like to change the date of the following photo:
Corrected date: Jan 4, 2019.
Thank you.
Hey guys,
I noticed someone has put a correction in for my latest image of 'ZK-CIG' saying its a 'Pawnee B' however nowhere can I see on the civil aviation register(s) does it specify that this is the exact type and am worried that it will give me a bad name in terms of providing information (as this ins't the first time this seems to have occurred). From the registers bellow it just shows the aircraft as a regular Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee in both the 'rego search' engine and under the New Zealand CAA register;

Can you change the reg and c/n of https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9101698 to the same as https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9232870?
When I put the first photo up I asked the owner what the reg was, and he said YIP in the typical kiwi way, but it ended up being YEP. I also didn't have the c/n then, which I have now (06071816-S)

RUBIO® MonocoaT
A Natural Floor Finish
Monocoat all-natural oil wood floor finishes are plant-based, VOC-free and utterly non-toxic oil finishes of extraordinary durability. Available in clear finish and more than 30 color finishes, all apply evenly in a single coating. All Monocoat finishes are easily maintained, and provide a subtle luster that reveals and complements, rather than covers, the natural grain, and patina of the wood.
A Revolutionary Technology
Monocoat adheres with the first microns of wood by molecular bonding. As a result, Monocoat Natural Oil can cover an average 400 sq. Ft. of floor per liter. Moreover, because of molecular bonding, no surface film can form, and no variable saturation can occur. Not only is a second coat not required, but the finished wood also will not accept the second coat. The same action protects against overlaps and color variance and causes the process to complete in one coat.
Easy to Touch Up
Monocoat Natural Oil finish bonding technology allows local touch up of damaged areas or scratches because only the free wood fibers take the touch-up coating. The finished margins next to the scratched or damaged area do not accept new Monocoat. After 10 minutes, wipe away superfluous oil. There is no overlapping or additional density buildup at the margins.
Free of water and VOC
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus does not contain water: its components are mainly natural products. Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus doesn't contain volatile organic components (= VOC free).
Colors and protects through molecular bonding
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus adheres with the first microns of the wood by molecular bonding (with no film forming nor saturation). It is why the consumption is much lower than with a traditional
wood finishing system.
Durable protection
The molecular bonding creates a durable, long-lasting protection. To obtain this molecular bonding, it is very important to respect this reaction time of a couple of minutes strictly. The better the fibers are bonded, the stronger the protection will be.
No overlaps
Once all free cellulose fibers are molecularly bonded, the surplus product will no longer be accepted by the wood or the bonded Monocoat layer itself. It is why overlaps or starting marks are avoided.
Time-saving: coloring and protecting in one layer
It is pointless to apply a second layer on top of Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus because this extra layer will not bond with the free wood fibers or with the primarily - bonded- Monocoat layer.
Easy to repair
This technology allows local repair of damaged areas or scratches: only the free wood fibers absorb the product. The product next to the scratched or damaged area does not adhere. After the reaction time, all surplus product can be removed without overlaps.
Unique colors
The unique Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus pigmentation technology allows an intense and deep coloring in one single layer, without influencing the natural look and feel of the wood.

Football league players latest to back campaign
Newest patrons praise "hard work" of Show Racism the Red Card.
Two current professional footballers are the latest to back the Show Racism the Red Card campaign and become patrons.
Steve Kabba, currently playing for Barnet in Football League 2, and Craig Mackail-Smith who represents Brighton & Hove Albion FC in the Championship have both agreed to become patrons.
Craig said this week: "I think the work Show Racism the Red Card does is not only fantastic but integral for our society to keep moving in the right direction.
"We have come along way over the years and its so important we continue in that direction."
Mackail-Smith made almost 200 hundreds for Peterborough United between 2007 and 2011 before moving onto Brighton, where he has made more than 50 appearances, scoring 18 goals.
Steve Kabba told us: "Racism is a problem in society, but we can start to change people's views with our hard work and wisdom."
Currently playing for Barnet, Steve is best known for making more than 170 appearances for Sheffield United which included many run-outs in the English Premier League.

A simple quasi-orthogonal space-time scheme for use in asynchronous virtual antenna array enabled cooperative networks
Hayes, M, Chambers, JA and MacLeod, MD (2008) A simple quasi-orthogonal space-time scheme for use in asynchronous virtual antenna array enabled cooperative networksFull text not available from this repository.
In this paper we present a novel full-rate and full-diversity quasi-orthogonal space-time block coding scheme for use in asynchronous cooperative relay networks. A variant of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is implemented at the source node to mitigate the effects of random delays at the relay nodes, which operate in a simple amplifyand-forward mode. Utilizing a feedback channel, a simple phase rotation is applied at the relay nodes to extract full order diversity. A simple feedback quantization approach which reduces the overhead in the feedback channel for practical systems is also proposed. Average bit error rate simulations confirm the utility of the schemes.

Sanders, Ronald, 1932-1991Alternative names
Hide Profile
Ronald Sanders (1932-1991), was a noted historian, author and lecturer on Jewish history.
Sanders lectured in history at Queens College from 1958 to 1964 and served as editor of the monthly Jewish review, Midstream from 1965 to 1975. From 1975 to his death he was a freelance author publishing eight books, contributing to four others, and writing numerous essays and articles.
From the description of Ronald Sanders papers, 1951-1994. (New York Public Library). WorldCat record id: 86164198
Ronald Sanders was born on July 7, 1932 in Union City, New Jersey. His father was English-born Tin Pan Alley musician George H. Sanders, who penned the nursery rhyme, I'm a Little Teapot. His mother, Rose Rachlin, was the daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants. They met and married in New York in 1925. They had two children, Marilyn and Ronald.
After Ronald's birth the family moved to the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, N.Y. He attended public schools between 1938 and 1950 and then continued on to Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, in 1950. He was awarded the 1950 George F. Baker Scholarship. Sanders majored in English literature and studied with eminent poet and critic, John Crowe Ransom . He served as the editor of the school's literary magazine. In 1953 he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
Later that year Sanders entered the U.S. Army. He completed his college degree in 1954 at the end of the first of his two years of military service, where he served as a corporal. Free time was spent discussing politics and culture with others in the barracks, publishing the 28th Infantry newspaper, and working with a local theatre company. During boot camp, soldiers were required to fill out various forms, including one for their dog tags. One question asked for their preference of religious affiliation. Though he was raised in a home where neither Anglican nor Jewish parental faith traditions were practiced, the only relatives Sanders knew were his mother's warm Jewish family. He chose to place a Jewish identifier on his dog tag. This decision proved to be significant life choice.
Returning to New York in 1955 following his Army discharge, Sanders considered law and medicine as possible careers paths. But Sanders wanted to write and study history. Reasoning that a career in academia would allow him to do both, he pursued that path by studying American history at Columbia University. His subject interests, socialism and Jewish history, became intertwined in his Master's thesis, Abraham Cahan and The Jewish Daily Forward. He completed his Master of Arts in 1957 and continued with doctoral studies in early modern European history at Columbia, while teaching history at Queens College in the evening. French socialist Jean Jaurès became the focus for Sanders' dissertation studies. In 1960 he won a Fulbright Fellowship to live to Paris and research his subject. During this year abroad Sanders took advantage of a group excursion to the Soviet Union, and concluded his year away with two months in Israel. These experiences would also have significant influences on the course of his life.
Sanders resumed his position at Queens College upon returning home, but his travels had left a strong impression on him, particularly an experience in the Soviet Union. While in Moscow he visited an old synagogue where he began chatting, in Yiddish, with an elderly man. They discussed current life in the city and times past. Sometime later Sanders, reflecting back on this encounter, wrote that he felt he had seen the Jewish future while visiting Israel, but had connected with a living Jewish past in Moscow.
Prior to his travels abroad Sanders had established himself as an writer by publishing book reviews in professional journals. In 1962 the monthly Jewish Review, Midstream, chose him to write the main article in their issue celebrating the 100th aniversary of the publication of Moses Hess' Rome and Jerusalem, which was the call for the establishment of a Jewish state. The success of that article led to another on the American Yiddish press, a familiar subject thanks to his Master's thesis.
Sanders continued to teach, but academic advancement was taking a back seat to non-academic writing projects. In 1963 he took a year's leave to live in Israel, study Hebrew and work on the archeological dig at Masada, hoping to turn his experiences there into a book. He returned again to Queens College at the end of this leave, but it became apparent to the school administration that he was not going to complete his doctoral studies and they did not offer him a contract for the new academic year
His literary abilities established, Sanders was offered and accepted a position as an Assistant Editor at Midstream. He worked there steadily until 1975, the last three years as Editor-in-Chief. His position at Midstream did not, however, curtail other writing projects. In 1966 Sanders published Israel: The View from Masada, the memoir of his experiences in Israel. His next volume, Downtown Jews: Portrait of an Immigrant Generation, was published in 1969. By the time he left Midstream to write full-time, Sanders had published over 22 principal articles and numerous reviews, editorials, and occasional pieces for that magazine and several articles for Commentary. He had contributed to three volumes on Jewish history and the Middle East, co-edited an anthology, and published three of his own full-length works. He had also written dozens of short articles and book reviews that were published in periodicals such as The New York Times Book Review, The New Republic, and The Nation, among others. In 1970 he was awarded the B'nai B'rith Book Award .
As a freelance writer Sanders published five additional major works on Jewish subjects, including The High Walls of Jerusalem: A History of the Balfour Declaration and the Birth of the British Mandate for Palestine (1984), considered by many to be the definitive work on that subject. He continued to write and publish short pieces and became an independent lecturer for convocations or college classes and Jewish community centers. He was a visiting lecturer at Haverford College in the 1984 - 1985 academic year and taught a class at the Bennington Writers Workshop in Vermont in the summer of 1985.
In 1989 Sanders was invited to apply for the B.G. Rudolph Chair in Jewish Studies at Syracuse University. After several rounds of lectures and presentations, Sanders was offered the Chairmanship for the 1988-89 academic year. He delivered the annual B.G. Rudolph Chair in Jewish Studies Lecture on October 29, 1988 on the subject of The Americanization of Isaac Bashevis Singer. He intended this lecture to be the basis for his next full-length work, but it was not to be. Though he accepted the Chairmanship, he had to withdraw his acceptance soon after due to failing health. Sanders had been diagnosed with cancer. Though he continued writing, applied for and won a 1991-92 National Endowment for the Humanities grant to conduct research for the Singer book, he did not live to use it, succumbing to bone and liver cancer on January 11, 1991.
Sanders married Beverly Gingold, a teacher and later an editor of American Crafts magazine, on March 19, 1967. They made their home in New York City. They have no children.

Published April 18, 2018
kickstarts new events
Wedding season expo
set for Cinco de Mayo
MONROE — The Downtown Monroe Association (DMA) has been busy, as bird lovers and brides-to-be will soon discover.
Executive director Joie Worthen shared the nonprofit's efforts to promote downtown, including a wedding event and placing a flock of swift sculptures throughout the downtown core, at the April 10 City Council meeting.
Marry Me in Monroe begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 5, and is followed by a "Wine-ing Bridesmaids Wine Walk" starting at 5 p.m.
The DMA is touting the event as an escape from high-priced wedding planners in a region abundant with gorgeous venues.
"We've spent considerable time with our feet on the pavement, sometimes in high heels" canvassing the region, said DMA president Patty Glenn, an experience that yielded results and blisters.
Tickets are $20 and include samples and special offers from a bevy of vendors. The DMA lined up bakeries and caterers but innovated with a tattoo shop and tax preparer, bringing the practical and artistic add-ons to the traditionally narrow bridal fair category. Brides will also find hair and fashion experts, photographers, and artists on hand.
And for brides who desire to be a little more trim or a little less stressed before the big day, theDMA promises they can connect with fitness and yoga options at the event.
After a brief interlude when the wedding event ends at 4 p.m., a wine walk begins at 5 p.m. Six businesses will host beer and wine tastings and others will serve up their best bites. For $25, attendees will receive eight
tasting tokens, food samples and a commemorative wine glass.
More wine walks are in the works for summer.
The wedding event was not the only news from the DMA. They have a new logo and a new leader in Glenn. She replaced DMA founding member Dianne Forth, who stepped into the vice president role in February.
The seasonal visit by thousands of migrating Vaux's swifts was the inspiration for the DMA logo unveiled at the meeting. The image features two swifts, pale grey and
purple, that reference the city's branding. The organization says the handcrafted look represents the area's artisanal offerings and the pair of birds speaks to cooperation, which the DMA considers a core value.
The DMA has been selling swift sculptures for $95 each, including 25 to be individually placed throughout downtown; only about 10 remain, Worthen said. The stainless steel birds will entice visitors to complete a "swift quest" that takes them through downtown and identifies 25 notable figures in Monroe history.
The DMA has also been selling a run of swifts to add to the "Wagner Swifts" sculpture at the northwest corner of Main and Lewis streets. When complete, the sculpture will boast a swirl of 300 of the iconic fowl, each engraved with their purchaser's name.
The city helps fund the DMA with a $25,000 annual stipend that provides a salary for a half-time director. It contributes an additional $15,000 toward Marry Me in Monroe, a fall Downtown Hoedown event, and general tourism marketing.

NEWS RELEASE · 6th December 2010
Merv Ritchie
It has just been announced, Carol James has tendered her resignation as leader of the NDP Party of British Columbia.
James has suffered serious attacks and criticism from within her party and outside after her dismissing of Bob Simpson for his editorial comments published in a Williams Lake online news service on October 6, 2010.
Read More Here
As the internal party concern grew, a group of MLA's held a confidential meeting with James. She in turn made this meeting public and openly named those who chose to speak with her about her leadership. A breaking point appeared to have come during a recent Provincial NDP Council meeting when those who were identified as being at odds with the leadership of James were not handed yellow scarves at the entrance to the meeting, making a humiliating public display for those in attendance.
Read More Here
Yesterday a private meeting called to discuss her leadership, at the Four Seasons Hotel, was suddenly canceled just before it was to begin.
This morning, just after 11 am, James announced she was stepping down.
There has been no news release from the Party or from Ms. James regarding her decision. The NDP Party website also offers nothing on this developing story.

Marmalade is downright unapologetic. If marmalade were a person, she would be flying past you in a cab as you're about to descend into the train station; she doesn't pause to wonder what it's like to carry four monstrous grocery bags home on the subway. Marmalade is luxury at its best.
For all her high-maintenance appearances, marmalade is probably one of the easiest things for a first-time sweets canner to do. It is downright impossible to fuck up marmalade, that is, unless you cook it to death, against which your cell phone clock/timer will valiantly buffer. Marmalade doesn't roll like the shower faucet, which as Eddie Izzard describes, is like a fine balance between "here aaaaaand here [never moving his hands], a quarter of a millimeter between fantastically hot and fucking freezing." Nope, marmalade in the making is rather easy going.
To be completely honest, I hadn't even tasted marmalade until I made it as my stash of Christmas gifts this past year. It's a grandma thing, which is actually what inspired me to do it. My Grandma Jinny in Minnesota told me how she likes orange marmalade the best of all jams and jellies. Grandma challenge!
All this said, I'm going to need a separate post—I'm dreaming of working with a videographer to make a demo film—to show you some of the not-so-stressful, but can-be-intimidating-at-first things about canning. Like, for instance, sterilizing a jar: not hard if you've ever washed a dish by hand or boiled water before. Even easier if you have a dishwasher (unlike me.) Canning, like the oeuvre of happy home-making in general, literally boils down to common sense and paying attention. So, newbies, please stay tuned for some sort of demo, either photo or video.
Without further ado, please meet my Tigress Can Jam creation of the month:
Marmalady of the Night (citrus carrot ch-armalade—chutney/marm straddler). I just love the Tigress' naming debate for a similar kind of straddler in this post. When Doris & Jilly announced the befuddling ingredient of the month: CARROT, I leaned toward doing another marmalade because I'm new to this, and citrus is still floating through the air, and I haven't pickled anything yet, so no matter how easy it may be, I'm a little overloaded with projects and work-like things to learn something new at this moment. Plus, there are just so many ways to spruce up a marm (and I know I can't go wrong!)
Marmalady of the Night Recipe
adapted from Mary Anne Dragan's Carrot Marmalade Recipe, kindly shared by Talia at innBrooklyn
This charmalade is an evening, cocktail affair. This vibrant orange, sweetly savory mixture makes me want to dress up, make martinis and have friends over for hors d' oeuvres. I'm thinking cracker with sharp or stinky cheese topped with a dollop of this orange mayhem. Or spruce up a chicken or pork dish with it. Or brazenly eat it on toast in the morning, whatevs.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients. You'll need:
1 pomelo or grapefruit
2 large or 3 small Meyer lemons
a bunch o' carrots (I had a bundle—approx 10 skinny small—of multi-colored carrots and 3 large orange ones)
3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coriander (or spice(s) of choice!)
Step 2: Prepare the carrots and citrus
Pomelo prep: halve it. juice it. remove any escapist seeds, throw in some of the good pulp from the juice strainer thing.
Meyer lemon prep: halve 'em. juice them. scrape out as much pith and such from 4 of the rind halves (continue to scrape on the juicer). Chop or food process the empty rinds.
Carrot prep: grate by hand on the large side of your grater. OR two words: FOOD PROCESSOR. I've upgraded to a rockstar machine and haven't been happier with an appliance (well, perhaps aside from my free bread machine.)
I ended up with 6 cups of carrot/citrus pulp (4 cups carrot, 2 cups citrus.) The cool thing about marmalade is that you can use whatever combination/prep type for the citrus here. i.e. you can relax about recipe-following in canning for the first time!
Step 3: Throw carrot/citrus pulp in your heaviest-bottom stockpot/pan (copper bottom if you've got it.) Add sugar, salt and coriander. Let sit for an hour (while you clean up the prep mess and sterilize your jars.)
At this point, taste the mix. Add more coriander, or use a different spice entirely. Your first taste of your creation should not be upon popping open a sealed jar! Spice combinations are flexible, sugar ratio is arguably flexible, just don't cut down the citrus ratio with such a low acidity food as carrots. Carrots (without citrus) usually have to be pressure canned for safety in preservation.
Step 4: Put on a pair of comfortable shoes (yes, I'm serious, not just evoking lesbian humor.) Bring mix to a boil over medium heat, stirring every few minutes to incorporate all ingredients. Once boiling, reduce heat to med-low and cook at a rapid boil for 30 min. FYI, when you stir, it will calm the boil; don't worry about that. The catch at this step is that you've gotta stick near the pot, stirring pretty consistently—especially if you're using a cheaper pot (not copper bottomed)—so you don't burn the sugar. (See why the shoes will come in handy?)
Step 5: Remove from heat. Ladle mixture into hot jars (hot just means still hot from being sterilized in boiling water, in your canner pot.) Wipe rims clean of any wayward, sticky goo with a clean cloth. Place prepared lids (which are warmed on stove in small saucepan of water, not boiled) on jars and screw bands on finger-tight (closed tightly but not so much that you'll need to phone a friend to open it.) Put jars in your canner.
Step 6: Start the timer (and process) for 10 minutes when your canner pot reaches a rapid boil.
In retrospect, I wish I'd have used more purple carrots, the measly one I had sort of faded into the orange-y hues of this mixture. I'd love opinions on further sugar reduction here; though the mix was rather thick with carrots, I think so long as they're simply coated with the syrup it'd be okay. Dropping the sugar a tad more might help make it more of a savory, true citrus chutney.

Tour Instructions: One click to hide/show info, double click to enter/exit full screen mode & you can pinch to zoom.
I've been asked to make a 360º pub guide, so if your wondering what its like inside you'll find out here. You'll find a ever growing list of different establishments and events appearing as I explore with the camera in around Torbay and sometimes beyond.
Enjoy An Evening Drinking With Bays Brewery. You'll be shown all the equipment, the fermentation room, taste the different wheats and smell the malts that are used to flavour and colour the beer. They explain thoroughly the entire process, even down to the spent grains being given to the local farmer to feed his cattle, so there's little to no wastage.
Great location with great views. One of my favorite places to eat or just sit outside with a beer, in the sun, in torbay!!
The oldest building in Dartmouth dating from 1380 and still retaining many of its original interior features, oak beams, leaded lights and big stone fireplace
Close to the historic Bayards Cove and the ferry across the river to Kingswear, this is another favourite of mine especially on a sunny day, it has one of the best view of any pub in Dartmouth.
I hadn't been in here since they completed the rebuild. It is now a large, modern pub designed around serving food. It has three levels, the front has a big beer garden with tables and umbrellas, I believe it's the only beer garden offering outdoor dining in Dartmouth. There are several cool metal sculptures of dragons around and some wall art of ships from all ages on the River Dart and in Dartmouth Harbour.
Enjoy a pint with a view. This is a great place to eat or just sit outside with a beer, in the sun overlooking the Harbour.
Enjoy a virtual tour of Healey's Cyder Farm, If you like cider then this is the place for you with almost everything you can think of. #Healeyscyderfarm #rattler
I had a great afternoon enjoying some locally made cider down at Hunt's. They have been making traditional farmhouse ciders since 1805.
Newton Abbot family firm East Street Pub Company has taken over the pub which was previously known as the Mermaid, Murphy's and Gio's.
Formerly a 19th-century hotel on the seafront overlooking The Green. Now owned by the Marstons Group and these days a quiet pub
The KingsBeer Festival is set just behind the Kingswear railway station. Being right on the embankment it has great views of the River Dart. There was over 60 ales from across the UK, ciders, lager, prosecco, pimms, wines, soft drinks and live music to keep you entertained! #kingsbeer #beerfestival #kingswear
Known locally as 'the Nellie' it's a cosy, friendly old-school pub.
The Only Independent Village Pub In Torbay. Purpose built in the 19th century to replace a cider house that had been closed. It's the centre of life in the Dartside village.
It's not just about the beer, music, dancing and feasting. Occombe Festival is a charity event and festival goers help some of the places we love here in Torbay. 100% of the festival profits go to Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust, who look after Berry Head, Ansteys Cove, Occombe Farm and Cockington. Sun, beer, music, friends and raising money for charity. What more do you need? Lets go....
Overlooking the harbour, this is one of my go to stops whenever i'm out in Torquay. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the sun during the day and come evening there's always a live acoustic set from one of the best bands in the bay.
A great pub based on the TV series with the same name, if your wearing a peaked cap then you might just get a free shot. This pub is steadily becoming Paigntons best for live music attracting some well known acts to perform.
Once known as Winstons, now with a change of management, they have added a friendlier approach with historical pictures of paignton on the walls, flowers on tables and an all new gin bar boasting over 100 gins.
I've been asked to make a 360º pub guide, so if your wondering what its like inside you'll find out here. You'll find a growing list of different establishments appearing as I explore with the camera in & out of Torbay.
This is one of my go to stops whenever i'm out in Torquay and usually the place where we meet to start the night. There's always a live acoustic set from one of the many bands in the bay.
The oldest pub in Dartmouth, though It wouldn't surprise me if you were to walk right on past it as there is next to no signage, just a small sign leaning against a plant by the door. Once inside though your met with old wooden beams, two fireplaces and very friendly staff.
Sky Bar & Bistro is a nice and quite restaurant.
This pub is my favourite in the bay and has always been the go to place in Paignton not just for me, but for many a local & tourist over the years for some decades. Known locally simply as "Spinny" it may not be the oldest pub in town but it is the most well known.
Taking place on the village church meadow in Kingskerswell, this festival has a really nice chilled relaxed atmosphere. With music from a wide variety of bands (the majority of which are local) and with plenty of beer and activities for the kids, this is a festival for all the family to enjoy. For the last few years there's been 70+ beers, 20+ Ciders and wines to keep you quenched throughout the day.
In the sleepy riverside village of Calstock is this 17th century free house on the bank of the River Tamar in a beautiful location with fantastic views of the viaduct and part of the Tamar Valley Line Rail Ale Trail.
In the small riverside village of Kingswear is this traditional 15th-century English pub. It has spectacular views from the terrace overlooking the river Dart. Comfortable bar area where two open fires add to the warm atmosphere.
Enjoy a virtual tour of the The Watering Hole the only bar actually on the beach in the UK.
Enjoy a virtual tour of Tuckers Maltings annual beer festival with probably the best selection of beers at any beer festival in the country. #tuckersmaltings #beerfestival
On approach you see the lovely mill wheel and building covered in ivy. I had no idea how big the grounds were. When the food arrived it was delicious and I really couldn't fault it and while you eat you do have company from the free range chickens and peacocks for entertainment. It caters for anyone and everyone and certainly a place I'd be more than happy to return.

Players aren't problem in NBA lockout
Unfortunately, the NBA labor dispute won't be settled based upon wrong or right. Greed, or the owners' willingness to ignore its inherent danger, will determine whether we see professional basketball in 2011-12.
To my great surprise, the players and David Stern have done their jobs.
They fixed the game. The stench of the 2004 Palace brawl is gone. Without the traditional assistance of college basketball star-making, the league has developed and cultivated embraceable, ratings-driving superstars worthy of inheriting Michael, Magic and Larry's thrones.
Only the uninformed, willfully ignorant and biased could knock the product the NBA served this past season. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Russell Westbrook and all the rest put on a highly competitive, highly entertaining, eight-month reality series that ended with a "Dallas"-like, cliff-hanger shocker.
Who shot LBJ?
Seriously, prime-time television hadn't delivered this kind of edge-of-your-seat drama since Kristin Shepard busted a cap in J.R. Ewing's ass. The mystery of what happened to LeBron James in the NBA Finals rivals the 1979-80 fictional oilman whodunit.
Ironically, a writers strike delayed the follow-up season of "Dallas" by two months. There's a chance — NBA owners locked out the players Thursday at 12:01 a.m. ET — we could go a whole year without witnessing LeBron's bid for revenge.
Whatever happens, blame the owners.
I'm not in the tank for the players. If you've followed my perspective over the past five to 10 years, you know I've been hypercritical of professional athletes and their inability to conduct business.
As a lifelong Pacers fan, I watched Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley destroy my favorite franchise with immature, reckless behavior on and off the court.
I thought what Allen Iverson represented and the way he carried himself were bad for NBA business. Rasheed Wallace's insistence on bickering with the refs while play ensued was a terrible look for the league.
I believed the NBA's growth as a TV product was irreversibly tied to the health of college basketball as a TV product.
I was wrong. Stern instituted a dress code, clamped down on player behavior, tweaked the rules a bit. Teams tired of Iverson's shtick, Wallace and Iverson retired and Ron Artest (soon to be Metta World Peace) became a somewhat lovable, well-intentioned mental-health advocate with a huge heart.
Oh, and let's don't forget LeBron James accidently transformed himself into J.R. Ewing, the villain America loves to hate, with The Decision, a preseason championship celebration and not one, not two, not three but numerous public-relations gaffes.
Things are so good in the NBA right now that the owners might be willing to throw away next season as part of a ploy to better position themselves for their first true TiVo contract.
To me, that's what is at the crux of this labor dispute. The owners want to crush the NBA players union and get the players to agree to a 10-year deal that will in no way reflect the value of the league once the owners negotiate new television packages in five years.
Live sports are TiVo kryptonite. The only time most of us make it a point to turn on our TVs at a set time is during sporting events. We record and watch at our convenience everything else, which means we fast-forward a lot of commercials.
The best vehicle to overtly sell product is live sports.
The NFL, NBA, MLB and even NHL are all on the verge of getting significantly stronger as more and more homes are equipped with TiVo.
And you think LeBron James should settle for less money than CBS gave Charlie Sheen for "Two and a Half Men?"
The owners are hoping the players are shortsighted, immature and stupid. They're hoping the superstars are distracted and disinterested and satisfied with their shoe contracts. And they're hoping the rank-and-file decision-makers just want to get a deal done that puts $10 million to $20 million in their pockets over the next four or five years.
James, Durant, Rose and Griffin should be at every negotiating session. If the owners have their way, in five years those guys could be earning half of their true value and their non-superstar peers might earn 25 percent of theirs.
The game of professional basketball is strong. The product is good. Other than the tatts, the players have done an excellent job of repairing their image.
The owners have not handled their business. They want to take money back from the players and lock them into a bad long-term deal to pay for the league's failing business ventures such as the WNBA, NBDL, NBATV, Eddy Curry, Gilbert Arenas, etc.
Yeah, if you listen to the Stern-approved meme shouted by the NBA owners' primary television partner (The Worldwide Leader), 22 franchises lost money and, if true, it's not really a reflection on the competency and maturity of the owners.
It's LeBron James and the players' fault.
I'm not buying it.

Hot on the heels of the labour day weekend, CIC drew the 16th Express Entry Draw for 2015 on Tuesday, September 8th. The numbers drifted barely from the previous draw of August 22nd.
The number of invited decreased by 5 and the CRS score decreased by 3. We may be looking at CIC's steam of draws becoming more stable as we move closer to autumn.

In his book Utilitarianism, John Stuart Mill refers to the great objects of human life. We may assume that that what Mill calls an object is the same as an objective in modern parlance. The examples of great objectives that Mill cites include power, fame, and money. One wonders how seriously Mill was actually endorsing such aims to be the overarching objectives of living or whether he was simply expressing his finding that many people actually do take such aims as these for life. The contention is that Mill was indeed recognizing that people do choose such goals in life. After all, happiness has been recognized as an objective of life at least since the time of Aristotle, and virtue has a similarly ancient pedigree. It is quite common for ordinary people to adopt such mottos as "Healthy, wealthy, and wise" as aims for life. But we know that having more than one such value can lead to conflicts. This had been a concern to Sidgwick as well as other nineteenth-century moralists. A resolution to the problem was found by the time of the twentieth century, when it was realized that we should not try to achieve definite objectives, but instead look to some other procedure, such as a variety of evolution, to shape our objectives. In that case, we make plans and evaluate them, as we proceed. We should use our values, as Dewey recommended, for guideposts. The book discusses the methods of arriving at such plans and weighs some of the ethical and moral problems an individual or a society might face at the present time.

Book Feature: Enter Venus by Sondra Luger
Sondra Luger taught English in a New York City high school. Her first romantic novel, RICH, NEVER MARRIED, RICH was inspired by Jane Austen's PRIDE & PREJUDICE, and her second, BACK FROM BORA BORA, was inspired by the business world of the young and the resilience and energy of the so-called aged. Her mysteries, DROP ME OFF IN HARLEM and MURDER ON BROADWAY, both of which feature the same female fashion model detective, are a tribute to the Roaring Twenties and to the author's mother, who was a high fashion model. Sondra comes from an arts-oriented family with musical talent, and she has recorded a music CD with her sister, singer and songwriter Carolyn Luger. The songs were written by music icons of the twentieth century. The album is TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE.

Book Feature: The Trials of Allura by Dina El Shammaa
Allura's life is a testament to the strength and resilience of educated Middle-Eastern women in the modern age, who are railing against a life that makes little sense, with all its twists and turns. A tower of courage and energy, her enthusiasm to challenge life's obstacles and temptations reflects some of the mind-blowing hardships various women face. Bound by passion, linked by need, Allura offers readers a better understanding of life in a cross-cultural environment, where women are wrongly perceived by the outside world as spoilt, reclusive, and vulnerable. Social constraints, family upheavals, and unexpected tragedies force Allura to stand on her two feet at a young age and make life-changing decisions, which is when her whole world begins to unravel. Join Allura on her extraordinary journey of highs and lows, humorous encounters, and fateful experiences, which transform her from a shy and sheltered teenager to a courageous, resolute, fiery, and tempestuous woman.

Guest Post by Raymond Floodgate, author of Life 2 the Full
Guest Post
There is no mystery about living life to the full. Once you know about it, it is obvious. It has always been there but you just probably didn't think to look. It is not something that is taught in schools, even our teachers have not been taught it. It is not a part of the curriculum at any level of education, so why should you know about it? Our society has totally overlooked this way of living and opted for the "get more money and grab everything you can" type of existence. However, when you live life to the full, your life becomes rich and abundant in every way and this can be obtained with little effort on your part.
Every society today, associates wealth as money and possessions, which is a very narrow view of what wealth truly is. Money and possessions are absolutely a part of wealth but only a small part.

Graham Reid | | 1 min read
In which Ebony Lamb makes a convincing leap from the broadly alt.country/dark folk territory into a singer of brooding soulfulness and coiled constraint (The Timbers, and Death which opens this impressive nine song collection).
Here too however are persuasive reinventions of her classic, yearning country balladry (the lovely Baby Blue Eyes, the soaring and sensual Working) and timeless songs (the ethereal depths of "those boys [who] sing on their knees all about the sinners, heaven to me" on the melodically addictive Mt Vic) to the killer double-whammy at the end with the emotionally deep Prodigal and the sense of release/relief and reconciliation in My Old House.
This journey can often be as surprising as it is powerful.
With the excellent band (lap steel, electric guitars, horns and strings) given clarity and space by producer Brett Stanton – interviewed for Elsewhere here – this is both a step sideways and an impressive vault upward into a different and more rewarding musical landscape and ethos.
It keeps elements of her past work (the excellent Orbison guitar twang from Gram Antler) but allows for new voice and persona – with reference points in bands Mazzy Star and Luna, Grant Lee Philips' recent country-edged work as much as Patsy Cline in a red dust desert or Fifties country ballads – to flower and flourish.
Great songs, great album.

These three videos remind me of so much good in the world, which is often easy to forget in the overwhelm of negativity.
I'm reminded that what the media chooses to share is often just a sliver of the story of who we are, both individually and collectively.
Oh, and there's no escaping the power of a hug. :)

Kindergartners learn basic computer skills, such as using the mouse to point, click, and drag objects before progressing to practicing using the keyboard. With www.millhoppertech.com as the backbone, other applications, such as educational computer games, are incorporated into the curriculum to engage students. Storybook applications are utilized in to allow the children to apply their skills by creating pictures and typing their stories one page at time. Other applications, such as Google Earth, fit in nicely while still meeting the prescribed technology standards. Incorporating Google Earth hones mouse and keyboard skills, while exposing the students to the geography and world cultures they are already studying in their primary classroom. BrainPOP Jr. is used to enhance test-taking skills, critical thinking, and discussion and answer. As the students' confidence grows, we move onto Internet safety and utilizing our library as well as the Alachua County Library system. Starting in January, more programs are introduced that assist students throughout elementary and middle school. Students are assessed by question and answer, participation and discussion, lessons on the Promethean Board, and peer teaching. Individual assessments are designed for students to master home row keys, proper finger placement, Internet etiquette, Internet safety, and navigation of Millhopper Tech, search engines, and BrainPOP Jr. quizzes.
Lower Elementary (ages 6–9)
Students are taught basic typing and formatting so that they can turn their research and other writing into finished products. Students gain exposure to keyboarding and word processing basics through Open Office. Research using computers begins at this level. In addition, Montessori apps and educational games are used for independent practice and extra academic review. Teachers use their Promethean board for lessons and presentations to the class.
Upper Elementary (ages 9-12)
The students are encouraged to use the Internet as an invaluable research tool. Students have weekly practice assignments on typing programs to build accuracy and confidence. Microsoft Office programs are used to write papers, create graphs, and design brochures and newsletters. These skills are carried over to projects in literature/composition, science, and other classes. Educational and skill-building computer games are used to enhance class work. Presentation programs such as PowerPoint, Prezi, Glogster, and Pixton, plus animation programs such as Flip Boom are introduced to encourage students to hone their presentation dynamics.
Computers are used on a daily basis and are an integral part of the classroom and curriculum. In fourth grade, students receive a class email and are introduced to all the elements of Google Apps for Education, including creating blogs, learning to properly send emails, and developing safe practices on social media. This prepares them for Middle School. All the lessons are cross-curricular in nature and coordinate with the lessons of other team teachers in the subjects of literature/composition, science, and history.
Middle School (ages 12-14)
Advanced standards build upon the Microsoft Office Suite fluency acquired in prior years, while also emphasizing desktop publishing, multimedia, and additional concepts of applied technology. Many cross-curricular opportunities manifest at this level with our science, language arts, social studies, drama, video production, and yearbook curriculums. With abundant potential to practically apply their technology skills, the technology program expands beyond the one hour of formal classroom time weekly allocated to this group.
The technology course is taught on a continuum and approached in two ways in the Middle School program. First, it is used an as extension and enrichment of other subject areas, such as research skills and Boolean search techniques for writing assignments in Language Arts; the creation of a webpage on a Spanish-speaking country to support a Spanish assignment; or the videoing and editing of a group dance routine to support a Physical Education assignment. The second use is to widen their understanding of the uses of technology in the majority of their courses. Topics of study include: research and reference, digital communication, social networking/blogging, web interfaces, 3D modeling/drawing/animation and video production.

Starseeds, feel free to use this as a journaling exercise. You can even write up your own list of the top seven rituals you need to feel better right now. It only takes a couple minutes. If you can't write, maybe step outside for ten minutes, meditate with your guides and ask for help. Trust that you will receive the guidance you need. Sometimes that guidance can come through as a person, a song, an idea that "flies in" out of nowhere, a gentle nudge or a vision. Trust those signals from your "team."

By Emily Leayman
ALEXANDRIA, VA. - Lots of pets were rescued during the 2017 hurricane season as families in Texas and Florida had to flee their homes, but not all of their pets have found their forever homes yet.
One of these pets is Diamond, a sweet dog available for adoption from Alexandria rescue group Operation Paws for Homes. The five-year-old American Staffordshire terrier/labrador retriever mix was rescued from Texas during Hurricane Harvey. The rescue group partnered with Olde Town Pet Resort in Springfield and San Antonio Pets Alive to assist displaced 12 dogs from Hurricane Harvey. Diamond and the other dogs stayed at the pet resort until they could find foster and permanent homes.
Currently she's being fostered in Vienna and is quite content being a homebody. She gets along well with other pets and would love a family that likes to stay home and cuddle.

Dominica A-Z
City A-Z
The Commonwealth of Dominica is a sovereign island nation that is located in the Windward Islands group within the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It is southeast of Guadeloupe and northwest of Martinique.
Because of the structure of the island, which is mostly volcanic, the island has fewer beaches than its neighbors. That has caused tourism development to be slower, but that works to your advantage.
Dominica has earned the nickname of the "Nature Island." You'll find that there is an extensive natural park system to explore. Make your way through the forest trails to Boiling Lake and you'll be able to enjoy the views from the second-largest thermally active lake in the world today.
Visit Toucari Bay during your stay on the island as well. The waters of the bay are very calm and offer some of the best snorkeling and diving sites on the island. One wreck just off the bay is said to be a German vessel from the first world war. Another excellent spot for snorkeling, with its underwater volcanic vents, is Champagne.
Try the Waitukubuli National Trail if you love a good trek. It's 184km in length and takes you from the southern tip of the island to Cabrits National Park on the northwest portion. For a shorter hike, try Glassy instead. It is a 3-hour day hike that takes you through a deep jungle valley, along steep cliffs, and ends right on an old volcanic flow into the ocean.
Dominica is the perfect destination for an adventurer's soul. Experience the island now and it will imprint a lasting memory on your heart.
