Luke 5:16 (KJV) And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
When we look through the Gospels at Jesus' prayer life, there are some things that pop right out at us. It didn't matter whether an event was good or bad, Jesus prayed before it. Forty days of temptation in the desert, begin with prayer. Rescue the disciples from a demonic storm at sea, pray first. Select the twelve apostles, pray first. Teach or show the disciples more about who He was, pray first. You get the picture.
Not every incident mentions prayer before the incident. But, it's mentioned often enough that it's evident this was a way of life for Jesus. Think about that. Here's a being who is half man, half God. He was capable of doing anything He wanted, whenever He wanted. Yet He prayed. That conversational connection with the Father was important to Jesus. Through it, He demonstrated His obedience.
As a refresher, remember what the Greek word for "obedience" means – placing oneself under authority and listening to that authority. Jesus submission was a direct channel to His source of power and strength. Just like the faithful servants mentioned in parables, there's a reward of being given more power based on using what He had in the right way. And that was necessary because He voluntarily gave up part of His power to be fully human, along with being fully God. The humanity didn't have the power.
Another thing that seems to be pretty consistent is where Jesus prayed. Most often He found someplace quiet, separated from everything else. As God, that wasn't necessary. But I can picture His humanity, just like mine, being drawn away from focusing by external distractions. People trying to get His attention and His favor. Demons trying to keep Him from any spiritual success. A place that eliminated some of the distraction was essential.
There are people who I consider such dear friends that even if we don't speak or see each other much, that friendship makes everything that much easier to deal with. The essence of that relationship makes everything else palatable. Think about how close the three members of the Trinity must be. But Jesus, for a season, had a hindrance to that closeness by becoming part man. And, once again, what solves that? Prayer. Jesus could talk to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
So, let's look at what we've described here. I'm not sure if this all was done as example for us, but it would surprise me if that wasn't part of it. Jesus often did things not only because they were needed at the time, but also because they would be our example. In the case of prayer:
- Jesus prayed before dealing with anything important. For us, that should convert to as often as we can. We aren't omniscient, so we can't know beforehand when something important enough for prayer will come our way. Or if our present mundane circumstances really have great spiritual importance.
- It's an opportunity to be obedient to the Father. Under authority and under protection.
- It's just like sticking batteries in a charger and plugging it in. Jesus renewed His strength and power. And so do we. As the saying goes, it helps us to "keep on keepin' on".
- Jesus got rid of distractions. We need to, as well. How easy it is to lose focus when there are a number of different things, all trying to get our attention.
- Close relationships. They don't necessarily require having a lot of contact or serious conversation, but there does need to be some communication. Jesus did that with the rest of the Trinity by prayer – conversation with the Father. We don't get direct conversation. But we can talk to God in prayer and we get to listen be taking in His Word.
Now, there's probably a bit of assumption on my part in all of this. We don't know that Jesus needed His spiritual batteries recharged because of the human part of His nature. Nor do we know that His humanity needed protection from distractions. But those thoughts do put our own weakness in perspective. And God certainly wants us to have a close relationship with Him. So, even though there may be a stretch in some of this, I think God wants us to latch onto all that will keep us close to Him and His protection.

I starting drinking almond milk about 3 years ago in place of regular cow's milk. Although it doesn't have as much protein, it has a lot of health benefits and I love the creamier taste. It has 50% more calcium than regular milk, 0 grams of sugar, and there are only 35-40 calories per cup of unsweetened vanilla as opposed to 80 calories in a cup of skim milk. I switch between Silk, Almond Breeze, and Trader Joe's brand depending on which one is on sale or I have a coupon for. It tastes amazing on cereal or by the glass. Some people don't like the taste of almond milk, but I actually prefer it to cow's milk. It also doesn't spoil as quickly and even though it says to drink within 7 days of opening, I find it lasts much longer than that. It's also great for making sauces. I mix it with laughing cow Swiss cheese, pumpkin butter, and cinnamon to top off butternut squash raviolis.
I still buy regular milk for baking purposes and my coffee because it doesn't have the same thickness.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Is it time to declare that resistance is futile? Not necessarily. What if there's a way to look at procrastination from a different angle - as something that will lead one to success and glory, rather than failure? The secret lies in the fact that not all forms of procrastination is necessarily evil.
Think about it: would jumping to a task right away always result in the most productive output? When you start to make more conscious decisions on what to procrastinate on, you might end up being pleasantly surprised. Consider the following:
Doing Nothing Can Be Better Than Doing Anything
What if you do not have to do anything at all? Sometimes, what looks like a crisis can be a matter of opinion. Have you ever experienced something that looked like an issue initially but worked itself out and/or went away on its own? Some clues to the true severity of the problem can often be overlooked in the heat of the moment. Perhaps the best way to resolve such situations would be wait until the dust settles and then re-assess the situation later or to simply let things run their course.
If You Are Busy Procrastinating It Could be a Good Thing
We don't mean playing a game on your smartphone in a middle of the day. If you are busy working on something else that's more meaningful, dropping everything to pick up a new task will not necessarily lead to a better outcome. When you try to do too many things at once, you may end up finishing nothing at all. On the other hand, if you take the time to finish what you've started, you will end up with a task well done and a renewed sense of energy to tackle other tasks – like the one you're procrastinating on. Going back to the prior point, you may also find that the task in question is no longer relevant.
Get Someone Else to Do it!
These days, you can outsource almost anything. The beauty of allowing yourself to outsource a task is you can always find others who can do the job better and faster. With delegation you may still be procrastinating but you are no longer wasting your time! Of course, if you find yourself delegating work because you don't like anything you do at work, it may be a reason to revisit why you're still there in the first place.
Know Your Enemy
According to the ancient strategist Sun Tzu, taking a step back to understand the reasons why you procrastinate could help you get the upper hand in the battle. A lot of times, we end up procrastinating because we feel pressured to do something or take on too many things.
Give yourself a break. A clear mind spawns great ideas and fosters creativity. With the acronym below you can procrastinate like a pro.
Perceive – see the task or action for what it really is.
Reality – is it a true crisis or does the need simply exists in your mind?
Observe – how are you reacting? Are you giving yourself some time-off?
Collate – gather information before you jump unto something
Receive – be receptive and try to understand what needs to be done.
Acknowledge – accept that someone else may have a better solution.
Sit – don't be afraid to sit it out!
Time out – stop worrying when you're procrastinating. It won't help.
Indulge – enjoy your time by doing something you like instead of worrying.
Note – every procrastinating event maybe a lesson to learn from.
Accept – not everything deserves your attention or is worth fussing over.
Talk – a perceived problem or difficulty can be solved by communication.
Entertain – other solutions maybe right in front of you. Like the ones in this article! Go for it!

text: Sunnyside High School sweethearts Don and Maxine (Coleman) Robertson will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary with an open house Saturday, June 21, hosted by their children. The Robertsons' open house will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at their daughter Diane Robertson's home, 1983 Apricot Rd., Grandview. They request "no gifts, please." The couple was married June 18, 1954 in Grandview. For a time they lived in Illinois before returning to make Sunnyside their home. He worked for Laclede Steel Company in Illinois and later at Flodin's Manufacturing in Sunnyside he finished out his work career at Hanford, where he worked for 20 years, retiring in 1994. She was a homemaker. Both were active in their community with him coaching t-ball teams, as well as being active in Cub and Boy Scouts and playing on local bowling teams. In addition, he raised cattle for 40-plus years. She was also an active volunteer, working with Girl Scouts, as a member of a local coffee club and the Sunnyside Garden Club. Both love family camping trips. They had seven children, Judy Robertson, Ron Robertson, Dave Robertson, Mike (Theresa) Robertson, all of Sunnyside, Terry (Kris) Robertson of Othello and Diana Robertson of Grandview. A daughter, Cherie Robertson, died in 1990. They also are blessed with 14 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. A granddaughter, Jenni Koehler, died in 1977. The couple celebrated their anniversary earlier this year with a trip to Nashville, Tenn. Two years ago they went on a cruise to Alaska.

After months of filling my prescriptions, with the usual difficulty described by others, but filling them, I had a really terrible customer-service and pharmacy experience, wherein Optum reps lied and misrepresented both themselves and their policies. I spoke with Shanna Smith (714) 825-6832 of the president's office escalated customer service and it was resolved as she herself said, "they call the pharmacist area "the cage", ours should be in bigger cages."
But, the following month, only minutes after calling customer-service and being told all was well and I would get my scripts on time in two days -- I received a call from Ms. Smith who was extremely aggressive in sharp contract to her previous helpful tone, and she read me a statement saying that Optum had sent a note to my doctor "dictating" their policy of requiring a prescription for pain medications to contain 80% extentended release medication and no more than 20% immediate release.
I was in shock, at age 62, having broken my neck in the service of our nation and with several very serious resultant medical conditions, being informed at 5 PM on Friday that my prescription was being stopped, when everyone knows it is timed to be refilled only as it runs out, basically means that OptumRx was informing me to prepare to go into withdrawal, as there was not time to replace the medicines with another vendor before that would happen! [Note, I have a perfect record in every way, I take only a small dosage and have been praised by many doctors as a"perfect" full-compliance patient.]
The president's office was unable to explain further and refused to answer any question, but only red their short statement over and over. Then after an hour on hold, they conferenced in a pharmacist who said that "these medicines are impossible to get in Florida, Optum is your only option, follow the policy we "dictate" (they really use this word) or try to find another place to get your pain medicine, I doubt you will be successful." When I tried to ask any questions, again all he did was read a short script about the policy the "dictated". When I formally requested his pharmacy license number, he refused as did the president's office, even though state law requires he provide it.
Just a week earlier a pharmacist also with OptumRx had explained that for many patients short-acting pain medications are far better than extended release because they can be taken only when needed, thereby far reducing the required daily dosage and also significantly reducing serious side effects. But now, contrary to their own pharmacists' professional advice, OptumRx was "dictating" to me and to my very highly credentialed doctor only to prescribe long-acting medications!
Aside from the issue of dictating to prescribing doctors, why, after months of filling the medication on a regular monthly basis, did OptomRx deny the medication at the very last minute? What could they not have begun thirty days or even sixty days earlier. Why are they doing it in a manner tailored to put a bona-fide patient into withdrawal?! And why is their manner so aggressive and abusive of a sick patient, on the phone, with no explanation.
It all makes no sense at all. This is a company owned directly by United Health Care (regardless of their denying this) and really suggests that both organizations should not be in business in the United States.
Product or Service Mentioned: Optumrx Prescription Refill.
After 2 years of filling my pain meds monthly with Optum Rx I W's told the same thing. I too live in Florida.
I think its the worst thing they could do to us. Is this a new policy for everyone? Or are they just making things worse for Fl residents? Its bad enough that most pharmicies here wont fill narcotic scripts and the few that do are always out of everything.
What do we do? Since when is the pharmacy better at prescribing the types of meds we need than our own doctors? I THINK ITS ABOUT MONEY-WHY SHOULD THE FILL THE CHEAP IR MEDS WHEN THE CR MEDS ARE 1000 TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE!!! I was paying my 8.00 copay but my ER med after 3 monthswere 18.00 a pill!!!
Someone needs to help the people that truly need these meds. The druggies on the streets will still be on the streets and people like us will be in withdrel in bed!!
He is fully disabled.
He has steadily decreased the amount of pain medication he takes over the years. Years before and without pain medication, he is completely bedridden. It frightens our children so badly to see their Dad this way.
It's gut-wrenching for the entire family!
We have used the same pharmacy (CVS) at the same location for over 30 years (when it used to be Eckerd's).
We have never had a problem until 3 months ago. Our long-time pharmacist who my husband went to high school and college with, pulled us aside and told us the DEA had just left and threatened to suspend the pharmacists' licenses if they continued filling pain medication.
He said, "The day they came in, I couldn't believe I was in America."
We were forced to use the Mail Order Pharmacy Benefit Manager of our health plan (OptumRx).
After two visits, OptumRx wrote my husband's specialist stating they would no longer fill his prescription unless they reduced his short acting pain medication by one pill a day. It had just been reduced by 6 percent prior to moving to OptumRX. Why bother to see a specialist? Why don't we just allow pharmacists to write the prescriptions?
My father was in school well over a decade to become an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and threat surgeon). My pharmacist went to school for just five years. Yet, the pharmacies/pharmacists are now over-riding physicians and dictating the amount of medication OUR PHYSICIAN DEEMED APPROPRIATE. In our case, my husband has not see just one physician.
He is treated by several specialists and over the years we have been to see dozens at the Mayo Clinic, Duke, Bethesda, etc. Not one has ever disputed his need for pain medications or any of his other treatments (TENS Units, Accupunctuire, Chiropractic, etc We have contacted lawyer and lawyer to no avail but we're not willing to give up yet. The War on Drugs started by former President Richard Nixon is a FAILURE. Instead of getting drug kingpins, the DEA now targets physicians and pharmacists.
Pathetic! When will the public and our representatives wake up and realize ADDICTION IS A FAMILY DISEASE. Abusing substances is ONLY THE SYMPTOM of much more deep-rooted psychological issues that must be addressed at the FAMILY LEVEL. Some medications have been around a half-century or more - yet the DEA is just now targeting them for abuse; and pharmacists are passing this on to burgeoning senior population.
Why not take it up with the manufacturers ? The only thing that has been achieved through the WAR ON DRUGS is more prisons than schools; and the chronic suffering and lowered quality of life for people (particularly seniors) who have served our country and worked hard all of their lives!!!
I want to know how to fight this and what to do - aside from writing the CEO's, my congressman and representatives. Any ideas?
I also live in Florida and having a problem with Optumrx. I was in a very bad car accident years ago and when given my maximum medical recovery was told I could never hold a job involving standing or sitting.
Unfortunately being a widow in my 40's (not eligible for my late husbands social security)I have to work and this is affecting my livelihood My medication is almost impossible to find especially in my county and regulations state that it can't be filled outside my county so I turned to Optum. The first month went smoothly and now I am being told they won't fill for my doctor.
They said if another doctor had written the same thing it would be filled, keeping in mind it was filled the previous month. His license is in good standing and has no violations but did have a problem with a pharmacist there, so now he is on a "list" and I have received nothing but lies, including when my prescriptions were sent back-post marks don't lie but this company does
Holy *** we have UHC/UBH as our medical/mental health insurance and in NJ they just made the switch to OPTUMRX-today our first encounter with customer service was a DISASTER!!!!PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED OWNING/USING OPTUMRX!
I can't believe this company! I have just run into this situation myself, they are dictating 80% of my pain meds need to be long acting, do they even have the right to demand this?
They put my Rx on hold but never contacted my Dr, they received my Rx on 5-2-13 and after getting 6 different stories, I finally demanded to speak to a pharmacist who then informed me that they will "probably" fill this month since this is the 1st time they have even mentioned their so called 80/20 policy, but they need to hear from my Dr and they didn't bother trying to contact them until 5-7-13!! This is insane!!

Naomi Pop - S/T
(2015 Self-Titled)
Their name a tongue-in-cheek nod to Captured Tracks' fuzz-rock outfit Naomi Punk, - and possibly to Iggy Pop as well - Bostonian quartet Naomi Pop's debut cassette is an eloquent depiction of teenagerdom that feels as if the band's future selves are writing in Updikean remniscience of their formative years. Frontman Ben Wiley muses upon bike rides, "Halloweens and birthday cakes" in the album's opener, "Farewell Navigator", a wiry garage rock tune that drapes trebly chords around sinewy basslines and shuffling percussion. The song creates a utopian, sun-drenched suburban atmosphere that's as cozy as it is catchy: it does a splendid job of setting the mood for the rest of the record. Sandwiched in the center of the tape is perhaps the record's strongest cut, "Daydream", a quaint slice of bummer-pop hewn of a doo-wop chord progression and twinkly lead guitar. The tape's final two tracks venture off into some Minutemen/Of Montreal territory, pairing twangier instrumentation with goofy lyricism, capping off an extremely fun and ultra-catchy release that fits perfectly into the eclectic Z Tapes catalog.

Russell is a writer, storyteller, teacher, musician, artist, healer, and inventor that has worked in the spiritual arts to develop his intuitive skills while helping others find their path to enlightenment. His career as an award winning historic restoration contractor, instilled an ability to focus his attention on the most subtle details. Russell now applies that skill to the world of the metaphysical, specializing in ontology where science meets spirituality.
Russell currently resides in Austin, Texas, maintaining an active energy healer boutique referral practice built on testimonials from other clients, doctors, counselors, business leaders, and professionals. He works one-on-one with several hundred people a year, in person and remote, specializing in master level energy assessments and intuitive readings. His focus is in health, life path, business, career, finances, and energetic issues related to relationships, attachments, karma, imbalances, the endocrine system, spiritual illnesses, and connection to spirit.
Russell invented a unique energy device in 2007 called The Forsyth Crystal Light Table©, and in that process he found the passion to develop a multilevel teaching platform for personal growth, intuitive readers, modern shamans, and the medical intuitive. His lifelong love for mysteries instilled a desire to understand the non-physical dimensions, and an energy detective was born.
Russell and his wife of over 40 years, have teamed up to create Crystal Light and Sound, an online store that carries unique crystal and energy healing related products produced by world class lapidary artists. They also developed a team of advanced teachers to create the IEL Institute for the Spiritual Arts, a platform designed to bring together a community of like-minded people with a desire to be the change they want to see in the world. Together, they strive to maintain the highest level of customer service with Crystal Light and Sound and the IEL Institute for the Spiritual Arts.
Russell has written seven books that range from stories of personal healing, to a past-life story with historical context, to an adventure trilogy, to a book of channeled angelic messages, and a 500 plus full page training manual and master level reference guide for metaphysical studies. The guide covers 21 subjects on the metaphysical and is a growing body of work that includes case studies, step-by-step instructions, and basic to advanced teachings that will lead a person to master levels skills in developing the ability to produce accurate assessments of human energy.
Russell Forsyth is part of the Living Room family of storytellers created by Amparo Crow, and has co-produced live television variety show Citizen's Live by Dean Langston, theater stage productions like Moving Love, a One World Theater production by Suzanne and David Armistead, and was chosen to film a pilot show by Silent Crow Productions with producer Pat Jones called The Angel Readers. Russell produced three music albums with Aaron Micheals, Craig Toungate, and Herb Belofsky under the artist name of Russell D and Thundering Grace.
Russell and Beckie enjoy their two sons and five grandchildren, along with their extended family. His mother Glenna Forsyth was instrumental with instilling a love for art and a desire to help others. Russell supports his wife Beckie Forsyth with her passion for creating amazing charcoal art, her sound journey performances with her musical partner Gahana Bonnington, and their first release as Heartistry titled Inner Sanctum, produced with help from Susan Lincoln.
Russell has dedicated himself to writing a weekly channeled message called Angel Whispers, a word study geared toward understanding information held the collective consciousness and the Akashic Records. Still a builder at heart, Russell designs and constructs his unique Forsyth Crystal Light Table© for spas, healers and individuals around the world. From an esoteric description, Russell is a dreamer, channeler, philosopher, spiritual detective, seeker, and a humanitarian who, with his and wife Beckie, live under the mission statement
Bring joy, ease suffering, and create beauty.
I suffered from a 5 year abusive and toxic relationship. The relationship ended a year ago and I struggled to get balanced physically, emotionally and spiritually. The year following the break up was difficult. I had been in fight or flight for years. My self confidence was gone. I could not understand what had happened. I had trouble sleeping, concentrating and focusing. I was weak. My energy was depleted. Nothing made sense. I was missing….
I have been under the care of a physician that specialized in Neuroendocrinology. She has done full blood panels every three months for the past year and a half. My cortisol, glucose and cholesterol were way up. Prior to this relationship I had been the picture of health. He had sucked the life out of me, and was continuing to do so … even a year after our break up. I felt dirty, tired and my heart ached. It made no sense … I am truly in a much better place!! I should be energized. My cortisol and glucose would not come down despite my consistently healthy diet and regular exercise. I am back home surrounded by loving family and friends, far away from the abuse. Why was I still suffering? Thank God I finally called Russell Forsyth!
Russell found a parasite from the relationship that was still attached to me. The parasite continued to feed on my energy and leave me depleted. Russell removed the parasite while I lay on the crystal bed. I literally felt it stuck in my throat for a minute or so. Then I felt it leave. I left Russell's office feeling lighter, brighter, clearer, smarter, HAPPY! It is amazing the difference this treatment made. I feel like myself again!! Last week I returned to my doctor for my 3 month blood panel. The results were fantastic! My cortisol, glucose and cholesterol are back in normal range. I am sleeping through the night. My food cravings for sugar and carbohydrates are gone. My brain is clear. The world is brighter. My energy is back. I have no heartache of loss or regrets. I am free. I am me again!! My doctor is thrilled and acknowledged her firm belief and support of energy medicine and healing. She told me that I looked better than I had in years!! I absolutely Feel better than I have in years!!!

So Bush won.
1. It goes without saying that I think this was a disastrous vote in favor of incompetence. Daniel Davies posed a challenge a while back on his old blog that I can't be bothered to find the link to:
Can you name a Bush policy that,
a. Was a major foreign or domestic policy initiative of the Bush administration.
b. Is something I heard of.
c. Was not fucked up in execution?
As far as I know, he did not recieve a good answer.
Expect to see more of that over the next four years.
2. On the other hand, there are some reasons to be optimistic in the short term. I really don't think very much can go wrong in a second Bush term, regardless of how competent the President is.
- The economy seems to be recovering on its own.
- The Iraqi elections in January should provide the U.S. with a pretext for withdrawal. As long as they are conducted in a relatively orderly fashion, I expect Bush will use this pretext. What we are likely to end up with is an Afghanistan-style farce: a nominally democratic central government without much power over most of Iraq, where militias loyal to local factions will rule.
3. It goes without saying that the U.S. is in for huge economic problems over the long term due to the retirement of baby boomers(see here and here for example). This was always the case; but Clinton's efforts to spend responsibly and use the resulting surplus to pay down the national debt at least put us in a position to start considering ways to save social security. Bush destroyed that.
4. Particularly devastating, to me, is the role the anti-gay-marriage initiatives played in increasing evangelical turnout in swing states.
5. If the Democratic party is to survive and remain competative, it must resist the calls, already pouring in, to get more liberal. The American electorate is considerably more conservative than the socially liberal core of the Democratic party; ignoring this will turn Democrats into an American version of the NDP in Canada or the Liberal Democrats in the UK.
6. So - I was so depressed after the results last night that I forgot to go to class this morning and turn in my homework. This is particularly unfortunate because I need an A in this class to become a doctoral candidate (damn you, W. ) I'm about to email a .pdf version of the files to my TA. Should I say I overslept or mention that I was depressed from a Bush victory and hope to play on the likely liberal views of the TA? Comment!

Julian Edelman to visit 49ers
Per multiple reports, Edelman will visit the 49ers on Friday.
Edelman, who generated 1,056 receiving yards in 2013, would provide an intriguing complement to a receiving corps that includes Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin, and Vernon Davis.
The Patriots had made Edelman an offer on a three-year deal, pressing him to take it before the launch of free agency. It's unclear whether the door is open for a potential return.
The Browns also are reportedly interested in Edelman.
Last year, the Patriots signed Edelman to a one-year, $715,000 contract, eventually converting 80 percent of a $50,000 workout bonus to a Week One roster bonus. He ended up being the most reliable and durable target for quarterback Tom Brady.

We are going nautical for Easter, based off Hebrews 6:19, and this is the Little Man Look. I absolutely LOVE it, and it will look PERFECT with Loo's dress and his bow tie matches her halter dress top. 🙂 Thanks to the weather I am now having to make a long-sleeved bolero to go with Loo's look (Grrr weather). What do you think? Little Man says this is his treasure map. 🙂

Rated 1 out of 5 by Marc from No QR Code... Blurry In order to use ANY VR viewer you need a QR code, to calibrate your viewer to the app. This is needed because each viewer has different measurements in reference to lens to screen, distance between lens etc. this viewer has no QR code, nor can you search for it online. I am returning and buying a better one. I thought Sharper Image had better quality than this. Disappointed.

Is There Value to Using Case Studies in Business?
Posted on April 29, 2014
Harvard first developed case studies as a way to engage students in their executive training programs. Complex or difficult cases were presented to students and they were asked to familiarize themselves with the materials as well as gather additional information. They would then be tasked with suggesting reasons for the problem outlined in the […]

BigCommerce, named a "Best Place to Work" in Australia, a "Best and Brightest" place to work in San Francisco, and a "Best Place to Work" in Austin, is looking for a full-time Senior Infrastructure Engineer in our Sydney office.
As an Infrastructure Engineer at BigCommerce, you'll work as part of our Technical Operations team while still having experience at a Software Engineer who can code. Our Infrastructure Engineering team consists of a talented group of individuals who specialise not only in web operations and systems administration, but also software engineering. We're charged with designing the underlying technology stack that powers BigCommerce stores, and building the underlying systems and tools that enable engineering teams to build and ship BigCommerce services.
We're looking for an experienced candidate who brings a blended set of skills for software engineering and web operations to our team. In other organisations, you might have heard of this referred to as a "DevOps Engineer". We like to believe DevOps is an idea, a theory, and a set of fundamentals about how we work and interact within our team, in engineering, and for our business.
Currently you'll find us predominately working in Ruby, and PHP, backed up by Puppet for configuration management. We've also been known to work in JVM based languages (Scala), and with Go from time to time. We're always integrating new services and new technologies into our environment - Docker, linkerd, HAProxy, Nomad and Terraform just to name a few.
Our ideal candidate possesses some or of the following skills:

It's the end of July, and you know what that means: BABY GOT CLASS! Thank Jesus. Y'all, I can't take much more of this summer "vacation" bologna. Daycare drama is infinitely more "Days of Our Lives" than grade school could ever be. You know Gabe came home a few days ago saying how most of his friends have girlfriends? THEY'RE FIVE. Six, tops. Thanks a lot, MTV. When I was six, all my parents had to worry about was whether or not I'd come home with gum in my hair… again. They never worried about me and my siblings coming home all, "Yeah, so I met this guy at recess today. We totally took a nap together after he shot Cheerios out of his nose. I think he's The One."
Gag me with a spoon. Kids that young don't even KNOW the struggle and its realness. But, I digress.
Anyway, school's coming up soon. I'm excited enough to go school shopping on the second craziest weekend of the year (tax free weekend) yet still dreading the unavoidable emptying of my pockets. The kids' birthdays are also in August, so we're already tapped out. But it's alright, because school! Do the thing, make the grades!
I took the boys' "annual day of birth" pictures early this year because this month is already jam-packed full of open house meetings, doctor's appointments, and other various activities. They were not completely thrilled with my decision because A) it was hot and B) they're kids and don't like to cooperate. Such is life.
We made it out alive, but barely. I don't understand the headache of birthday pictures… or just good pictures, in general. If I tell the kids to say cheese at 7 A.M. on a weekend, fresh out of bed, in just their underwear and superhero capes, it's not problem. "What's that, you say? You need a bad millionth picture of us? Absolutely!" But good pictures? "What, mom? You need us to cooperate? These pictures are going to family, you say? Hang on… let me bang my head through a wall." Drinks may or may not have been had after the fiasco that from here on out should be called, "annual day of mom forgetting what a pain in the ass this is" picture day. At any rate, we're at the weekend. Praise Jesus! I'll probably be begging Monday to carry its ass in t-minus twenty-four hours.
Happy Friday, y'all.

Why is it so cold? I open my eyes and the confusion clears. I am immediately reminded of my mission today, to buy a blanket. I pull my phone from the charger and check the time, almost ten. Surely something must be open on a Saturday so that I can buy a blanket.
I send a few quick messages to my fiance and head into the bathroom.
By the time I head out my door it is nearing twelve O'clock. Walking in the town still intimidates me, but not nearly as much as it did yesterday. I pass by the Co-op, but the doors are shut and the parking lot is empty. I pass by what I am soon to learn are the arena, and the future youth center, a play ground outside another big building, and finally I see the Northern.
As I approach I see the sign with hours of operation. Open ten AM to six PM on Saturdays, perfect, but the door is locked. I look around for some clue as to why it is locked, but see nothing, as I start my walk home I imagine another cold night.
As I walk I hear voices. Two people have emerged from a nearby house with "Northern" vests on. My heartbeat quickens with anticipation as I speed walk back to the store and walk in behind them. I can't help but smile as I search the aisles. They have one aisle split between home furnishings and toys. I find what I am looking for on the bottom shelf, a grey comforter with bright yellow flowers on it. I snatch it up and force myself to walk calmly to the cash.
At home I squeal with glee as I spread out my new comforter. It is perfect. I proudly send a photo to my fiance.
I scrape together a meal for lunch. I plan to see my classroom today, and my curiosity speeds up everything I do; I give myself a stomach ache after I scarf down my meal of mini pizzas. I am not bothered as I prepare and head out again.
I am so thankful I live minutes from the school on foot. I can see it from many of my windows. When I arrive I wander towards the office. Jerry notices me and comes to greet me. He offers me a tour of the school which ends at my classroom. The door sits wide open, a number of desks and other furniture are spread throughout the room. My imagination goes wild with the possibilities. A stack of boxes reaches up to the ceiling behind the door. I shrug off my coat and get to work unpacking boxes. The knowledge that I have only a few days before school starts propels me. I want my room to be set up and welcoming. I want my students to know I care about them before they even sit down.
I work hard all afternoon, and into the evening. I haven't seen anyone else yet, but I figure they will be around soon. I finish up for the night and walk home.
Jamie shows up at my house, and invites me for dinner. Since I have very little food of my own I happily accept. Fillip brings over a salad and we feast on pasta and lettuce. We laugh and talk; I imagine the year we will have, full of games nights and dinners. I already consider them my friends. Isolation can bring people together fast. I walk home to my warm bed smiling with a belly full of food and joy.
The year is only just beginning.

3.1 Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning. Therefore, they are asked to bring relevant course related materials (e.g., assignments, textbooks). Questions or concepts should be ready for discussion at the time of their appointment.
3.2 For writing appointments:
- Students must draft their own work and prepare printed copies. Writing is a process; to learn the fundamentals of writing, students must have drafts and be able to see the changes they have made. Drafts should be documented.
- The SLC will not proofread papers. Academic Subject Specialists do not edit or write papers for students; they teach students how to become proactive learners and give feedback on areas where students can improve their writing.
- The Academic Subject Specialist will only review a student's written draft once. If a student wants to work on the same assignment in a follow up appointment, he or she must implement the necessary revisions discussed in the previous appointment.
3.3 For graduate student writing appointments, it is recognized that there is a dual responsibility; graduate students are accountable for content and structure, while the writing specialist will help with the writing process.
3.4 Students cannot bring an assignment on a USB key for SLC staff to print out.
3.5 The SLC staff will not work on assignments that are due the same day.
3.6 The role of the Academic Subject Specialist is distinct from that of the Teaching Assistant (TA). Students may be referred back to their course instructor or TA for more specific course-related support.
3.7 Academic Subject Specialists will not make comments on a student's grade, nor will they advocate on behalf of the student.
3.8 Take-home exams and documentation assignments (APA, MLA, etc.) will not be reviewed by SLC staff.
3.9 The SLC has drop-in hours: designated times when the SLC staff briefly meets with students on a first-come, first-served basis. During drop-in hours, the Academic Subject Specialists will be available in-person. Drop-in appointments are usually 15 minutes long. If students require more time with an Academic Subject Specialist or a different day and time, they are encouraged to book an appointment ahead of time.
3.10 Laptop use:
- Students can work on referencing and brainstorming on the laptop during writing appointments.
- During math/physics appointments, the Academic Subject Specialist may view assignments and lecture notes online, as well as applicable software.
4. Online Appointments
While online appointments are available, the first appointment should be in-person where possible. Follow-up appointments may be arranged online at the discretion of the Academic Subject Specialist. To arrange an online appointment, the student must email the specialist directly, from his or her UOIT account, with his or her student number, phone number, questions and/or assignment. Please note: Emails sent from personal accounts may be blocked by the UOIT network system - use your uoit.net account to be sure emails are not blocked. Two to five pages of the assignment will be reviewed. Students may request help with two to three issues per appointment.
There are two types of online appointments available for students:
- Email appointment: Email appointments are available at the discretion of the academic subject specialist. Once the student sends the request for an online appointment, he or she will receive a reply with the first available time. This will be a virtual appointment that allows the specialist time to review and answer the student's questions. When the appointment is finished, the student will receive feedback on the assignment within one business day. All feedback will be sent by email using the appropriate software.
- Live online session: A limited number of online appointments are available using Adobe Connect software. When booking an appointment, a link with instructions will be provided. A microphone, earphones and wired connection are recommended.
5. Peer Tutoring Appointments
5.1 Appointments will be a maximum of 45 minutes per session. Appointments should be made in advance, especially during peak times (a few weeks prior to midterms and final exams).
5.2 Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance. During peak times (midterms and finals), students are encouraged to book a session well in advance to guarantee an appointment.
5.3 Students may have up to two sessions per week with a semester total of 12 sessions.
5.4 Some Peer Tutors have drop-in hours: designated times when the Peer Tutors briefly meet with students on a first-come, first-served basis. During drop-in hours, the Peer Tutors will be available in-person. Drop-in appointments are usually 15 minutes in length.
5.5 Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice:
- Will be counted as a no-show.
- After three no shows, a student will be barred from accessing the SLC's service for the remainder of the semester.
- Will result in one session taken off the semester total.
5.6 All appointments will be conducted in the SLC or in a pre-assigned meeting room. Students are responsible to check the location when booking an appointment.
5.7 During the day, a maximum of two students may attend the same appointment, provided the session content is the same. During the evening, there will only be one student per appointment.
5.8 The peer tutor and student must sign the Peer Tutoring Contract at the first appointment.
5.9 Peer tutors will provide explanation and demonstration where appropriate, but will not act as an editor or corrector. The role of the Peer Tutor is to facilitate the student's learning, and will not provide answers for assignments, proofread papers or write papers for students.
5.10 The role of the Peer Tutor is distinct from that of the Teaching Assistant (TA). Students may be referred back to their course instructor or TA for more specific course-related support.
5.11 Take-home exams, distance papers from other institutions, papers for publication, resumes and cover letters will not be reviewed by Peer Tutors. Alternatively, resumes and cover letters can be taken to Career Services.

A heartwarming story out of our town today:
On May 1, a friend's children and ex-wife were left with only the clothes on their back after their apartment and belongings werre destroyed in a fire.
My friend and the band he's part of decided to hold a benefit concert at our church in order to raise funds to help out the family. The concert was announced in church, and afterwards my friend asked his wife (also a band member), "Do you think we'll raise $500?"
Well, I've been in the church office all week, and people have been almost literally throwing money at me. I go to the bathroom, come back, and find a cheque or an envelope on my desk or even on my chair. Half the incoming phone calls are asking about the concert, and, "Who can I make the cheque out to?" We had $500 by the end of the Sunday service, and it just keeps coming. We'll probably have three times that amount before the band plays a single note.
Our folks are like that. In fact, I find that most folks are like that. People don't like to give to a "general fund" where they don't know how the money's used. But tell them that the money is for a specific purpose that tugs at their heart strings, and the purse strings open up, too. The person to person connection really does matter.
This whole affair has got me asking myself: I wonder if I held a "special appeal" to help pay off my student loans, if it would work. Hmmm....
Probably not, but it's a nice dream.
At any rate, I'm looking forward to Friday. The band always puts on a good show, and I'll be with a whole bunch of generous people whom I genuinely like. Who could ask for anything more?

Here are some of my original paintings (no digital software was used for these). Although I now use a Wacom tablet with Photoshop, I still like to return to holding a paint brush and mixing the colours before I was self-taught with my first computer.
These ones are painted with Water colours and pencil:
I painted these 'cluttered' Ladybirds by painting white (Matt) emulsion paint on cereal box cardboard, then used old paint brushes and water colours:
This one I painted by airbrushing the water colours, then roughly sketching the outline with coloured pencils. 'Fluffy Monkey'!!

3 ¾ cups sugar
1 ½ cups white corn syrup
1 cup warm water
Cook sugar, syrup, and water to 290 degrees, then take off heat, add 1 teaspoon cinnamon oil. Add several drops of red food coloring. Stir in real good! Sprinkle powdered sugar on a piece of aluminum foil and pour candy on. Let it get hard and then break it into piece; it's ready to eat!
This recipe Lance wrote at school, I think he was in the 5th or 6th grade (1980) in Chillicothe, Missouri. I am not sure who gave him the recipe, but he and his friends loved it. I also remember that they soaked toothpicks in cinnamon oil and sucked on them at school.
I still have the original recipe he wrote on ruled notebook paper. I have made several batches of this candy; it is easy and has a nice taste. Reminds me of cinnamon balls, from when I was a kid.

For his latest album, Deke Dickerson In 3 Dimensions, Dickerson decided to connect his various old-school passions - '50s R&B, surf guitar, country twang, garage thrash, rockabilly swing, and early rock 'n' roll - in a coherent package, fashioning a song cycle with separate sections devoted to rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, and hillbilly music. He even enlisted seminal New Orleans
Thursday, August 21
1719 Blanco
Even with his dedication to his musical roots, and his formidable work ethic - an average of 250 gigs a year - what really sets this Missouri native apart from the pack is his sense of humor. Dickerson named his imprint Major Label Records, just so he could one day tell his kids he'd had a Major Label contract. And last Halloween, the follically challenged frontman induced his bandmates to don wigs and dress as glam rockers for a San Antonio club date.
Rock 'n' roll was never just about a particular sound. It was also about a psychically liberating willingness to make yourself look ridiculous from time to time. Dickerson gets it. He knows there's no point playing hedonistic raveups if you're going to be all somber about it. •

Visual Arts at Northwestern in April
Block Museum, Dittmar Gallery and University Library exhibitions open to public
- Block Museum's Charlotte Moorman exhibition examines the artist's life and work
- Block's 'Don't Throw Anything Out' offers a rare look at Moorman's private world
- Deering Library showcases Charlotte Moorman and its Shakespeare holdings
- Dittmar hosting Victoria Martinez's 'Wizard Can' exhibition throughout April
EVANSTON, Ill. --- Northwestern University's Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art continues to pays homage to Charlotte Moorman -- a musician, performance artist and advocate of the avant-garde.
The Block Museum's Main Gallery show, "A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s-1980s," which runs through July 17, 2016, is the first major exhibition exploring the art and impact of Moorman. It examines her life, her work, her influence and the vast network of artists across creative fields who were her collaborators in the 1960s through the 1980s.
The Block also is hosting "Don't Throw Anything Out: Charlotte Moorman's Archive," through July 17, in the Katz Gallery, an auxiliary exhibition that offers a rare look at Moorman's private world.
The Block has planned a variety of public performances, conversations and presentations to help the public discover why Charlotte Moorman was called both the "Joan of Arc of New Music" and the "Topless Cellist." Detailed information on these programs follows.
In conjunction with the Block exhibitions, Northwestern's Deering Library is presenting "Charlotte's Scene: Archives of the Avant Garde at Northwestern Libraries," through July 17. The exhibit features highlights from four University archives related to Charlotte Moorman and her times: John Cage, Dick Higgins, Jim McWilliams and the ONCE Festival.
Information on upcoming arts and humanities events also is available on the new Arts Circle website. Click here.
Northwestern's Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art is located at 40 Arts Circle Drive on the University's Evanston campus. More information on Block exhibitions and events is available online or by calling 847-491-4000.
- Guided Exhibition Tours, 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The Block Museum offers free, docent-led afternoon tours on weekends which focus on the bold and barrier-breaking performances of Charlotte Moorman and others who participated in the Avant-Garde festivals. No reservation necessary. More information online.
- "A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s–1980s" exhibition, through July 17, 2016, Block Museum, Main Gallery. Charlotte Moorman (1933–1991) was a groundbreaking, rule-bending artist, musician and advocate for the experimental art of her time. Trained as a classical cellist, she both performed and championed the works of visual artists, composers and choreographers who were redefining art -- collapsing the boundaries between media and renegotiating the relationships between artist and audience. The Block exhibition explores her performances, the festivals she produced and her commitment to making experimental art accessible to all.
- "Don't Throw Anything Out: Charlotte Moorman's Archive," through July 17, 2016, Block Museum, Katz Gallery. This auxiliary exhibition offers a rare look at Moorman's private world and includes relics as diverse as childhood essays, answering machine messages, gifts from artist friends and poignant day-by-day accounts of her struggle with cancer. Culled from Northwestern's Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections where the Charlotte Moorman Archive is housed, this exhibition illuminates Moorman's domestic world and working methods and shows her extraordinary dedication to the documentation of her life and artistic milieu.
The exhibitions are accompanied by a lively menu of lectures, performances, film screenings, artist conversations and pop-up happenings around Northwestern, Evanston and beyond. Unless otherwise noted, admission to Block Museum public programs is free and open to all. Details available online.
- Live Art in the Eternal Network: Hannah Higgins, 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 30, Block Museum of Art. Hannah Higgins has been a professor of art history at the University of Illinois at Chicago since 1994. Her research examines 20th-century avant-garde art with a specific interest in Dadaism, Surrealism, Fluxus, Happenings, and performance art, food art and early computer art. Her books and articles argue for the humanistic value of multimodal aesthetic experiences. This lecture is presented by the Northwestern University Libraries Board of Governors in celebration of the Block Museum exhibition, "A Feast of Astonishments." Admission is free, but seating is limited. Please RSVP by calling 847-491-7641 or email: email@example.com.
- The Other 51%: Native American Women Directors Presented by The First Nations Film and Video Festival, 6 p.m. reception, and 7 p.m. screening, Thursday, March 31, Block Museum of Art.

Whiteman III, the director of First Nations Film and Video Festival, Inc. The First Nations Film and Video Festival Inc., advocates for the works of Native American films and videos that break racial stereotypes and promotes awareness of contemporary Native American issues and society. An invited speaker at the Creating Nations: Past, Present and Future symposium on Friday, April 1, Whiteman has curated this program of short films as a celebration of the important and underrepresented work of Native American female directors. The 7 p.m. screening will be preceded by a 6 p.m. reception.
- Creating Nations: Past, Present and Future symposium, 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday April 1, Block Museum of Art. Contemporary Native American art making is an act of conversation with the past, construction of the present and an envisioning of the future. The symposium will host interdisciplinary discussions focusing on Image, Sound, Text and Body in relation to historical trauma, sovereignty and nation building. Artists include Simon Ortiz (Acoma Pueblo, poet, activist), Mark Turcott (Turtle Mountain Chippewa, poet), Thomas GreyEyes (Navajo, visual artist), Randy Reinholz (Choctaw, director/producer) and Jerod Tate (Chickasaw, composer). The symposium will be presented by the Colloquium on Indigeneity and Native American Studies in partnership with One Book One Northwestern, the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Office of the Provost, Center for the Writing Arts, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, International Program Development, Kaplan Institute for the Humanities and the departments of theatre and African American studies. Admission is free and open to the public.

- Discussion: Outing Queer Fluxus: Geoffrey Hendricks and David Getsy in Conversation, 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, Block Museum of Art. David Getsy, author and art historian, will interview Fluxus artist Geoffrey Hendricks on his intermedia practice and his participation in Charlotte Moorman's New York Avant-Garde festivals. Since the mid-1960s, Hendricks' work has been driven by a fascination with nature, collaborative rituals and the exploration of expanded sexualities. A prominent member of the Fluxus movement and a legendary organizer of 1960s era Happenings, Hendricks' art communicates a fascination with nature, collaborative rituals and the performance of gender and sexuality in public life. A frequent performer at Moorman's annual New York Avant-Garde festivals, Hendricks' work is currently on display in the Block's exhibition, "A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde 1960s-1980s," including the classic "Ring Piece" (1971), documenting the end to his marriage and embrace of a queer identity. Together the two will explore the way in which Avant-Garde contemporaries such as Moorman, Carolee Schneemann and Hendricks himself, mounted public work that gave new voice and visibility to queer history and expanded sexualities. This free program is co-sponsored by SAIC Art History: department of art history, theory and criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
- A Feast of Astonishments: Emerging Scholars Symposium, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, April 29. Panel presentations will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Northwestern's John Evans Alumni Center, 1800 Sheridan Road; and the 4 to 6 p.m. keynote lecture and reception at the Block Museum of Art, 40 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston campus. Six Ph.D. candidates from programs across the country will present papers on Charlotte Moorman's life and work, her various collaborations, and the larger impact of her creative vision on artistic practice from the 1960s to the present. The day's discussions will culminate in a keynote lecture by Kristine Stiles, France Family Professor of Art, Art History and Visual Studies, at Duke University. Stiles is an art historian of contemporary art and artists' writings, a curator and artist specializing in global contemporary art.
A collaboration between the School of Communication and the Block Museum of Art, Block Cinema provides Northwestern, the North Shore and Chicago with a quality venue for repertory and festival cinema. Block Cinema is housed in the Block Museum's Pick-Laudati Auditorium. Information on Block Cinema Spring 2016 screenings will soon be available online.
Information follows on other Northwestern arts events taking place on the Evanston campus at the Dittmar Memorial Gallery, University Library and Herskovits Library. All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
For information on upcoming lectures and events sponsored by Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences department of art theory and practice, visit www.art.northwestern.edu.
The Dittmar Memorial Gallery is located on the first floor of Norris University Center, 1999 Campus Drive, on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. Hours and locations available online.
- Victoria Martinez, "Wizard Can" exhibition, April 1 through April 30, Dittmar Memorial Gallery. Victoria Martinez explores chance and intuition by presenting a combination of found patterns from the urban environment and soft household items that are transformed into fresh perspectives in the form of installation, painting, collage, sculpture and fiber art. Incorporating bed sheets, scarves, tablecloths, hand-painted produce signs, found cassette tapes, old clothing from the artist's apartment, scraps from her childhood home in the Pilsen neighborhood, thrift stores and local marketplaces in surrounding communities, Martinez attempts a reawakening visual experience asking: "How do nostalgic objects become a monument?" The exhibition and an opening reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 1 are free and open to the public.
Northwestern University's Charles Deering Library is located at 1935 Sheridan Road, Evanston campus. The Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies is located on the fifth level of the Main Library's East Tower, 1970 N. Campus Drive. Library hours and locations are available online.
The Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies at Northwestern University, established in 1954, is the largest separate Africana collection in existence. Its subject matter ranges from art, history, literature, music and religion to communications, management and cooking. The Africana collection is a resource for the entire University, and most of Northwestern's disciplinary programs are reflected in the collection. The Herskovits Library staff also serves regional, national and international scholars as well.
- Page & Stage: Shakespeare at Northwestern Libraries, April 23 through Sept. 2, University Library. Four centuries after the passing of the world's most famous author, it's tempting to put the man on a pedestal -- sometimes quite literally. But William Shakespeare didn't write from a lofty tower; his relatable themes, colorful characters, sharp satire and bawdy jokes have always marked him a man of the people. Which is why connecting with Shakespeare today shouldn't be difficult or uncommon. Join Northwestern Libraries as we revel in our many holdings -- from rare books to theatre archives to our general collection -- that give students and faculty different ways to discover, learn from and re-tell Shakespeare's tales.
- Charlotte's Scene: Archives of the Avant-Garde at Northwestern Libraries," through July 17, Charles Deering Library, Lobby. Charlotte Moorman electrified the avant-garde scene in 1960s New York with her experimental approaches to music, performance and pure spectacle. While Moorman, whose archive lives in Northwestern's Deering Library, is the subject of "A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s-1980s," a major installation at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Deering Library's "Charlotte's Scene" exhibit explores the contemporary avant-garde scene before and during her most prolific output. Drawn from the archives of John Cage, Dick Higgins, Jim McWilliams and others (all held by Northwestern's Music Library and Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections), these objects and images illuminate a time when artists rebelled against the rigidity of postwar culture by challenging -- perhaps even rewriting -- the definitions of art.
- "Textural Cultures in Islamic Africa," through June 18, Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies, Main Library fifth floor, east tower. This exhibit of imagery from Arabic manuscripts in the Herskovits collection accompanies "Sacred Word: The Changing Meanings in Textual Cultures of Islamic Africa," a symposium dedicated to the memory of Professor John O. Hunwick (1936-2015). The symposium will be held April 21-22 and is sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa (ISITA) and the Program of African Studies at Northwestern University, and the Center for African Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Information on the April symposium is available online.
- "Making Connections: Unique Gifts to Northwestern's Transportation Library," through April 15, Charles Deering Library, third floor. Libraries build their holdings deliberately and painstakingly to help researchers make connections between ideas -- but sometimes the "aha" moment is the result of serendipity, when a collection contributed by a donor yields an unexpected insight, clue or treasure no library could have acquired otherwise. Northwestern's Transportation Library is the happy recipient of many collections donated by industry executives, transportation experts, enthusiasts and historians. This exhibit offers a peek inside these collections, and explores the possibilities of the connections yet to be discovered at the intersection of benefactors and researchers. Among the exhibit's highlights are handmade wooden buses from the William Luke Transportation Collection held by the Northwestern University Transportation Library.
