Firstly can we just address the fact that this is crazy:
All week I've felt like I'm one day ahead. Maybe it's because I called my mom on Monday (who has the whole week off), and right before we hung up she said, "Well, at least tomorrow's Friday." I thought to myself for a short millisecond that, "Oh my gosh. Is it Friday already?"
But alas, it was only Monday when we spoke. Last night I was sure today would be Thursday. I don't know why I'm rushing through the week. I was in the elevator with a man once and I asked him how he was (because it's always awkward standing in silence forever), he said he was fine and asked me the same. I replied, "I wish it were Thursday." To which he promptly said, "Ah yes, we're wishing our lives away, aren't we?"
I thought to myself, "I really only wish away the work days, but I wish weekends never went away."
Remember when you were a kid and you went to bed at night thinking, "That was the best day ever!" There was no way life could get better, right? Why isn't life like that now? Why do we spend so much time worrying about money, having nice things, being better than other people, etc.?
Maybe this is all part of my mini-existential crisis, but I wish we spent more time enjoying life and less time in an office in meetings.
Maybe I just need a nap. I've cut down on running this week because I've felt exhausted for some reason. Perhaps I need to go anyway to work out all my thoughts.
Happy Wednesday! One day closer to the weekend!

Delete your Facebook ( Including Many Reasons to do so ) youtube.com
Submitted by anarchistspectacle in Anarchism
Submitted by anarchistspectacle in Anarchism
But not Google/Youtube. They wouldn't do anything bad with your data, ever ;)
I don't use it except for uploading videos
That's an issue too: you're still using YouTube, proprietary JavaScript code, providing data to Google, making it very easy for companies/government to know about your political ideas, your videos are attracting people to Google/YouTube, keeping more people hooked. In my opinion, we need to start using better platforms (archive.org, MediaGoblin, PeerTube, our own server...). We need to improve our free YouTube replacements too and fight against the network effect of the tech giants.
Does anyone here use facebook still?
deleted it over 2 years ago
I 'have' it, but i haven't used it for over a year and a half.
Its mainly there cause messenger is the only way i can communicate with my best friend atm.
I have it but it's just to follow a few things. It's just an empty account, no information or friends.
And I needed it for tinder.
I had to create an account for the first time just a few months ago for work-related reasons. I interact with it on a browser set aside for Facebook only (not any of the browsers I use for other stuff), as little as possible. I really wish I could have avoided using it altogether, and I would really like to be able to ditch it entirely.
*Deactivate your facebook,because let's be honest, Even if they "delete" it it'll still be stored on their servers somewhere.
Absolutely everything you ever said, done, uploaded to FB and FB owned servers is theirs, its in the EULA

text: My bud Rick at http://www.organizeddoodles.blogspot.com/ drew this doodle and posted it on his blog yesterday. He said it was free for use so I'm using it! Thanks Rick. Anyway, I think it so applies to RAD parenting. Our children had so much evil in their past that is still effecting them. They are living in the terror of it daily. Well, I have one who lives it daily and one who is recovering but regresses now and then. It is easy during to take it personally and to want to verbally hurt back. It is easy to think "Fine. I don't want to be near you either" and retreat. With RAD the opposite reaction is necessary for healing. When they really want us away and are most afraid is when they need us the most. That is the time for the kind words, the gentle touch and the loving eyes. Overcome their past evils with good. Show them you are safe to love. They can trust you. I think one of the reasons I like this doodle is because it reminds me of the scared little boy in the monster suit. Our children are not evil. Their lives have just been over come by it and we have to help them find their way out. Have a healing day.

Lean in Financial Services
We're excited that we've been able to recently help Financial Services customers implement lean thinking in their businesses. Our most recent activity has been to help stabilise operations, eliminate waste, reduce lead times and most importantly improve the customer experience in a major bank's PPI operations. This section tells you more about the application of lean in this sector and a little about our approach.
There's a great deal of activity applying lean principles to the Financial Services nowadays. Most financial organisations have at the very least started to apply lean in some areas of their operations. However, there is still an enormous amount of opportunity to go further especially in a sector that should be centred on what the customer values.
Our approach is to take a holistic view of the customer's query or transaction journey, using the Value Stream Mapping tool. In our experience 'silo' thinking and disconnected processes often make the customer's experience poor, and can result in the customer having to do much more work that they would wish to do, just to get their problem solved. A great driver for improvement in Financial Services is to design processes that make the customer's experience as effortless as possible. If the focus of this exercise is based on this principle, then cost reduction and increased productivity will naturally follow. A high-level VSM activity enables Senior Managers in the organisation to really focus in on issues; such as where the process is disconnected, teams working in isolation, local metrics driving the wrong behaviours, batching work for local efficiency, and the associated costs of all the waste in the current system.
From the initial map, we help identify the areas of the organisation that require immediate improvement, and work through facilitated Kaizen workshops with the client's own people, to improve processes and to eliminate waste. The key stages of this improvement phase are:
MAKE VALUE FLOW -> Its key to improving the customer's experience to understand where the barriers to flow originate. Many of these barriers are self-inflicted in Banks and other Financial organisations, for example; the local 'batching' of work in the belief that this is more efficient, the disconnect between hours worked in different departments, the availability of skills and decision-makers as key points in the process. A reduction in lead time generally improves the customer experience, and also increases productivity across the entire process. The VSM exercise shows us where Flow is poor, and highlights the potential benefit of improving the flow of customer value in the organisation. One of the changes with highest impact is to break down silos and to create work cells' around specific customer types that work collaboratively to move customer requests through their team quickly.
SYNCHRONISE YOUR PROCESS STEPS -> There's little point making isolated improvements in your processes to just move the customer's request from one queue to another. With our help we can help Financial organisations to understand their customer demand, and use this to generate the drum beat within your departments, so that all steps in the process can work to this beat (this is the 'takt time' in lean terms). It's important to understand the current capacity of each step in the customer's journey, and to be able to monitor closely the 'bottleneck' step in the process. All other steps need to be subservient to this bottleneck so that this asset (or team) is as fully utilised as possible. Furthermore, we can ensure work teams stay closely synchronised to each other by managing the flow in their departments through visual controls and balancing their capacity to demand through flexible working and multi-skilling.
LEVEL YOUR DEMAND -> Although it depends on the product or service offered, customer demand is often much more predictable and stable than our clients realise. What is often misunderstood is that batching of work in planning systems artificially creates these wild swings in demand, and that 'true customer demand' is often far more stable than people would imagine. Once we have established Synchronised Flow in your business we can help you to understand how by Levelling demand you can really start to drive out waste and save cost in your business. Again our Value Stream Map shows us where to apply this thinking, and we make extensive use of a tool called the 'Glenday Sieve' to help us and you understand the true picture of customer demand. Sometimes though just employing a basic planning tool, such as a 'Levelling Box' or Kanban system can help smooth out the peaks and troughs of work and allow the focus to be on value-added work.
The final part of our lean model focusses on people development. By adopting a lean approach you quickly start to surface problems and barriers that have to be tackled. To do this you need people in your organisation to become 'problem-solvers', otherwise the waste that was hiding these issues creeps back in. We coach and train your people to see waste, and to give them the structured problem-solving methods that help them to solve their own problems and become your internal lean thinkers of the future!

Hi. My name is Aqeeb Akram. I am a second year BA Geography student from September 2016. I am from Bradford and studied at Dixons City Academy- studying A-levels in Geography, Religious Studies, ICT and EPQ. I enjoy a variety of activities such as Bhangra, Football and Tennis. When I started in the first year, I had three main feelings surrounding studying at university. First, I was really excited to start; second I was nervous and scared about moving hours away from home and third I was anxious about not being able to fit in with my flat mates.
When I applied to Queen Mary University of London in 2014 and made QMUL my firm choice, it meant that I'd get secure a place in Halls. I was very scared about moving in and living on my own for the first time. But, like me you're probably not the only person living alone! There's a lot of support offered within the university to help you settle in such as the housing hub. There are also a vast array of activities throughout the year for those living on campus which help different halls socially interact with each other
Living away from home and moving into a new city may seem overwhelming and challenging: you're new and don't know the ropes. But everyone is in the same boat. For me, being a fresher meant that I could meet new people and participate in many activities, whether it was simply watching a film with others or participating in activities on campus. During freshers' week there are a lot of activities which you will be able to join in with, such as treasure hunts, nights out and walks around the local area. So don't worry if you're not a wild animal, because there will always be something for everyone.

Moonlighting as a freelancer is a great way to build your portfolio while maintaining a steady income. But when it hits 5 p.m. in the office, you have even more (not less) to do once you get home. As your freelance work begins to take off, it may feel like you have two jobs rather than one.
There are significant pros and cons of moonlighting as a freelancer. To make the best decision for the long run, you need to identify your specific goal for taking on extra work on the side. Without identifying your primary intention, it's easy to get swept up in the demands of both responsibilities and burn out.
Pros of Moonlighting as a Freelancer
There are so many reasons why people want to take on extra work as a freelancer. Maybe you've always dreamed of working for yourself — you want to build up your side gig, so one day, you can go full time. Maybe you want the extra income, or have a passion project that gives you so much joy you can't help doing it all the time.
On top of extra income and the opportunity to pursue a passion project, moonlighting as a freelancer can also bulk up your professional reputation. Whether in your field or outside of it, extra projects build meaningful relationships within the business community and position you as an ambitious go-getter.
Cons of Moonlighting as a Freelancer
It's not all bonus income and improved skill sets. The extra work can be a burden on your professional life. Without an opportunity to "turn off," you may feel quickly overwhelmed. An extended period of nonstop work can have negative consequences for your day job. Plus, it can make work-life balance a challenge, leading to strained relationships or a sense of imbalance. The secret to increased productivity is taking time off.
How to Make the Right Call
The right answer isn't the same for everyone. If you solely want to make extra money, for example, you can pour your time into the most lucrative projects. If you want to build a strong presence in the industry, you'd benefit more from networking and relationship building.
Once you identify your long-term goal(s), make sure every freelancing project you take on pushes you toward that direction. By prioritizing your time, energy and resources, you can leverage the benefits of freelancing while staying balanced and avoiding burnout.
Ultimately, the pros and cons of moonlighting as a freelancer depend on the productivity boundaries you create around your work. When part-time freelancers only pursue strategic opportunities aligning with their goals — and set limits on this extra work — they can successfully build a side business that contributes to their professional and personal lives.

Commenting on the vote in the House of Commons on an emergency motion about English Votes for English Laws (EVEL) - in which the government abstained instead of supporting the position that they have "considered" the matter properly - SNP Shadow Leader of the House Pete Wishart MP said:
"The Tories' policy is in meltdown - the Government themselves didn't even vote in favour of their own handling of English Votes for English Laws. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the Tories knew they were staring defeat in the face.
"As well as revealing how exposed the Tory government is, this debate also underlined how the Tories want to treat Scotland - reducing Scottish representation to second-class status, which is a democratic disgrace."


text: It certainly is hard to stick to my guns and use this blog only for artistic ideas when the world seems to be descending into chaos. Of course, the continuing meltdown in the U.S. financial system leaves a lot of uncertainty about whether the little bit of money I have in the bank will be there once the crooks get done with this. The idea of one day having to sleep under a bridge doesn't leave a lot of energy for creative pursuits, but I'm going to try anyway (and keep repeating the title of this blog over and over!) This digital art piece kind of sums up my feelings about the current state of affairs. I spent some time yesterday trying to do something with paint skins (leftover residue of acrylic paints on my palette). The piece isn't quite there, but if I can get over my depression about this nightmare our country is in, I'll drag myself into my art room and try to finish it off.

In April of 2016, SENITA hosted their first annual conference in Taichung, Taiwan. They were hosted by Morrison Academy. The theme for the event was, "Where Do I Begin" with three tracks.
Uwe Maurer the president of the Taiwan Sunshine Foundation led a workshop on learning support within the framework of the Taiwan Education System. Natasha Kanapathy, a Speech and Language Pathologist, led a session on the understanding the role of an SLP as well as "red flags" for children who might need help. Freddie Wagner, the learning specialist, at Morrison Academy, led a workshop on Brain Architecture and Understanding the impact of A.D.H.D and Learning.
Those in attendance came from all over the island, but the highest percentage of attendees came from Taipei in the capital, traveling to attend the conference. Because of the interest, the workshops were repeated for a second conference in Taipei in early May. The event highlighted a need for a connecting organization and networking opportunities for educators, parents and specialist.

Thank you Freddie Wagner for sharing this story!

Everywhere I look from my library to my local book store or even on my Facebook News feed i see Book Christmas Trees. I love that book lovers are taking the love to the next level. I found some that are crazy cool and others that are understated but all of them are great.
My niece Hayden and I took part in this new holiday tend. we made one little book trees.we even took on tree topper and added it on top. It's not as crazy as some that i have saw book it show what book lovers we are.
Book trees have became poplar because they are Eco-friendly and less messy. You don't have to go out and cut a tree down just to put it up for a month. also the mess is just putting the books back on the self, not cleaning up pine needles and another mess the comes with a real tree. Book Trees are a fun, creative way to have holiday spirit and show your love for books.
Take the time and make a quick tree, it takes about 10 minute and a fun project for kids.
Keep on reading.
A review is coming, not sure if i have time for more Christmas reads but something great is coming.

Eleanor walked out of the tube station, and made her way to her master's place again, as she did every week. She was looking forward to spending time with him. Just him, and her. She was a little bothered that she hadn't spoken to Chrissie since last week: she wasn't returning her calls. She hoped her experience with her master hadn't upset her so much that she didn't want anything to do with her again.
After Chrissie had left, she had had one of the best times with him she had ever had. He'd been in an exceptionally good mood, and had tried out a new toy on her, to her great enjoyment. She wondered what he had in store for her today.
She climbed the stairs to his apartment, her anticipation building with each step. She timed her pace so she would outside the door at the exact minute of their appointed time. As she went to knock on the door, she struggled to contain her excitement.
She knocked.
There was nothing. He didn't call through as usual.
She was about to knock again, when the door opened.
She looked in surprise.
She blinked.
He had answered the door, himself. He never answered the door.
"Good evening, Miss Eleanor. On time, I see. Could you make your way to the training room?"
"Good evening, sir. Of course, sir."
The training room? What had she done to deserve that? That room was reserved for more severe 'corrective action', for more serious breaches. With some trepidation, she made her way there. She pushed open the heavy wooden door, and stood in the doorway, in shock.
In the stocks, completely naked, was Chrissie. Chrissie couldn't see Eleanor from where she was, but Eleanor recognised the tattoo on her buttocks.
"Miss Christine arrived early, despite strict instruction to be punctual," he said, stood behind Eleanor.
Eleanor almost jumped at his voice. He gently guided her into the room.
"She also came showing an inappropriate amount of flesh, and her face again painted, though not as much as last week."
Eleanor knew Chrissie's wardrobe mainly consisted of clothing to display her legs, cleavage or both.
"As for this," he continued, tapping the tattoo with a pace stick. "A clear sign of loose morals."
Eleanor thought she sensed some exhilaration in his attitude. She resisted the urge to check out his crotch, in case he caught her looking; that would be most inappropriate behaviour for a lady.
She also wondered about Chrissie. She hadn't spoken to her since last week, yet here she was, now. When had he told her to be punctual? Questions raced through Eleanor's head.
"Miss Eleanor."
His voice startled her again.
"You have been under my instruction for some time, now."
"Yes, sir."
"So, you being familiar with my methods, I will allow you to administer her punishment."
A stunned Eleanor stared at her master.

Hard X-ray and radio observations of Abell 754

We present a long BeppoSAX observation of Abell 754 that reports a nonthermal excess with respect to the thermal emission at energies greater than ~45 keV. A VLA radio observation at 1.4 GHz definitely confirms the existence of diffuse radio emission in the central region of the cluster, previously suggested by images at 74 and 330 MHz (Kassim et al. 2001), and reports additional features. Besides, our observation determines a steeper radio halo spectrum in the 330-1400 MHz frequency range with respect to the spectrum detected at lower frequencies, indicating the presence of a spectral cutoff. The presence of a radio halo in A754, considered the prototype of a merging cluster, reinforces the link between formation of Mpc-scale radio regions and very recent or current merger processes. The radio results combined with the hard X-ray excess detected by BeppoSAX give information on the origin of the electron population responsible for nonthermal phenomena in galaxy clusters. We discuss also the possibility that 26W20, a tailed radio galaxy with BL Lac characteristics located in the field of view of the PDS, could be responsible for the observed nonthermal hard X-ray emission.
Key words: galaxies: clusters: individual: A 754 / radio continuum: galaxies / X-rays: galaxies: clusters

So, imagine a two and a half year old girl, who is bubbling over with questions 24 hours a day, and who has this hilarious dramatic upspeak at the ends of her questions.
"Where's Mama?"
"She's at work."
"Is she feel people better?"
"That's right. She's making people feel better."
"Because they're SICK?"
"That's right, because they're sick and they went to the hospital to see a doctor."
"And Mama's a doctor?"
"That's right."
"And Mama's going to fix the PEOPLE??"
"YES!!! Mama's going to FIX the PEOPLE! She's gonna brush them ALL OFF and make them feel BETTER!"
I finally cracked up laughing at that point. For whatever reason, she thinks that the way her mom practices medicine is by brushing them off. I guess if the patients are dirty or dusty, or covered with crumbs or something, they don't feel too good. Having a doctor brush them off makes them feel better.
She's so cute.

MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC) needs urgent reforms to perform its primary task as a watchdog of the medical profession, said social health activists ahead of the MMC elections on December 18.
MMC, a quasi-judicial body comprising doctors elected through postal ballot, has the power to suspend andor cancel a doctor's licence. MMC is important for patients because it offers redressal for patients with complaints against doctors. "But MMC hasn't been performing its core duty for the longest time," said Dr Abhay Shukla of NGO CEHAT and author of a book, `Dissenting Diagnosis', which looked at what ails the healthcare system.

|Product Overview:
|GSH assay kit utilizes a carefully optimized enzymatic recycling method, using glutathione reductase for the quantification of GSH. The sulfhydryl group of GSH reacts with DTNB (5,5"-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid, Ellman"s reagent) and produces a yellow colored 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). The mixed disulfide, GSTNB (between GSH and TNB) that is concomitantly produced, is reduced by glutathione reductase to recycle the GSH and produce more TNB. The rate of TNB production is directly proportional to this recycling reaction which in turn is directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the sample. Measurement of the absorbance of TNB at 405 or 412 nm provides an accurate estimation of GSH in the sample. GSH is easily oxidized to the disulfide dimer GSSG. Because of the use of glutathione reductase in the GSH assay kit, both GSH and GSSG are measured and the assay reflects total glutathione. The kit can also be used to measure only GSSG by following an alternative protocol. GSH measurement can be done in plasma, tissue samples, and cultured cells using this kit. Nearly all samples require deproteination before assay.
|Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide (γ-glutamylcysteinylglycine) widely distributed in both plants and animals. GSH serves as a nucleophilic co-substrate to glutathione transferases in the detoxification of xenobiotics and is an essential electron donor to glutathione peroxidases in the reduction of hydroperoxides. GSH is also involved in amino acid transport and maintenance of protein sulfhydryl reduction status. Concentration of GSH ranges from a few micromolar in plasma to several millimolar in tissues such as liver.
|Please read these instructions carefully before beginning this assay.For research use only. Not for human or diagnostic use.
|Stability: 1 year;Storage: 4°C;This kit will perform as specified if stored as directed at 4°C and used before the expiration date indicated on the outside of the box.
|Kit Components:
|GSH MES Buffer (2X): 1 vial/60 ml; 1 vial/60 ml;GSSG Standard: 1 vial/2 ml; 2 vials/2 ml;GSH Co-Factor Mixture: 1 vial; 5 vials;GSH Enzyme Mixture: 1 vial/0.2 ml; 5 vials/0.2 ml;GSH DTNB: 4 vials; 6 vials;96-Well Solid Plate (Colorimetric Assay): 1 plate; 5 plates;96-Well Cover Sheet: 1 cover; 5 covers

ABC's of Self-Realization: Yielding to Yourself
Are you one of those people that never seem to have a minute to yourself? Do you feel as if your whole life and everyone in it would just stop or die if you weren't there? Take heart, dear one, take heart. The wisest and most beneficial thing you can do is to yield to yourself first.
The world won't stop without you. Your family and friends and co-workers won't die if you aren't there. It might be weird to realize this fact but remember that your ego gets in the way if you believe the second sentence in this paragraph. Remember that E-G-O is "Edging God Out" according to Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of many world-renowned self-help books.
It's okay to slow down and take a breath. It is okay to take fifteen minutes out of the day, be it when you wake up, take a break at work, or meditate before sleep at night. You must do that! Even God Himself took seven days to make the world – why would you believe you have to get all of your life's agenda done in one day? Why even have agenda? Yes, there are things you need to accomplish. Yes, some have deadlines. Yet, the world is not going to end if they aren't "done on time." Nor will your world fall apart around you. Remember that your world is created by your thoughts about it. Our experience of life is subjective because it is all based on our thoughts about what we see and what we feel about what we see. Each experience is different for the individual who is living through it.
Yielding to yourself is wise because it takes into account that you are as valuable and important as anyone else. You can't truly benefit and care for others until you benefit by caring about yourself. Taking time to eat healthy foods is wise. Taking time to meditate, pray, or just be still and close your eyes is wise. Taking time to exercise, no matter how lightly, is still better than taking no physical action at all. Yes, if you are that busy and on the go, you will think you are exercising because you are constantly on the run. However, when you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off, it is not considered beneficial exercise. It is stressful and causes damage to your physical, mental, and emotional health.
Please take time to ponder the ramifications of the effects your ego is having on your health! You must remember that, innately, you are empowered, you are strong, and you are greater than you give yourself credit for. Yet in order to be the best part of your innate greatness, you must transition your thoughts, mind, actions, and words into becoming a calmer, focused, even-paced individual.

"We need to make more hearts available for when hearts truly break."
- Professor John Fraser
Heart engineers, leading the future.
The extreme cases of heart disease result in total heart failure – and the only long term cure is a heart transplant. But there are less hearts available than there are people who need them. It's a matter of life and death.
Our team are creating new ways to mend broken hearts. The only thing that prevents them from achieving something remarkable is funding. But just $11 a month will help buy some of the precious time needed to, develop the technology and procedures to make more hearts available and even recondition them before transplant.
Professor John Fraser is donating his time to lead a specialised team of brilliant surgeons, engineers, clinicians and nurses from around the world, in order to develop a process that will make use of hearts that were normally considered unsuitable for transplant.
We are developing ways to restore hearts and 'reboot' them – a world first!

Wally Gonzalez on Juan de la Cruz Band's musical legacy, Martial Law heyday
As the most influential exponents of the Pinoy Rock genre, the Juan Dela Cruz Band lives on as many of today's rock artists continue to include their songs on their live playlist.
Razorback — a hard rock outfit featuring Tirso Ripoll, Louie Talan and frontman Kevin Roy, brother of the late Karl Roy — has time and again cited the seminal group as a major influence and recently performed their classic anthem "Beep Beep" during the launch of TV5's new online lifestyle hub, Kristn.com at the NBC Tent on Wednesday.
And this Friday night, a group of musicians who call themselves the Renegades of Rock will pay homage to the band with the concert "Up In Arms!: The Official Juan Dela Cruz Tribute" at the 19 East Bar in Sucat, Parañaque.
The performers scheduled to perform are Charlie Ysmael of The Breed, Benedict Verzosa of Backdraft, Mutiny, Dahong Palay, Death By Stereo, Piranha, Anibughaw, Revelation Blue Jean Junkies, Lougee and The Cherry Bums, Kastigo, Times Two and Thy Holy Water vs JunoRedFeather.
"This is our own small way of paying homage to the original and greatest Pinoy Rock renegade," declared host Ramon Zialcita, also known as The Doctor to rock radio fans.
"We have planned this for months and we hope that that the members could join us for this special event. But in my talk with their manager Bryan Garcia, he said only Pepe Smith could make it since, Wally Gonzalez has a gig on that day and Mike Hanopol has a church affair."
Regardless of which JDLC band member could grace the tribute and even jam with the performers, the event is clearly an indication that the band's influence remain stronger than ever more than 40 years after they played their very first gig.
The band was founded in 1968 by Alex Cruz, Sandy Tagarro, Bing Labrador, the late Edmond Fortuno and Wally Gonzales (now spelled as Gonzalez). It had a revolving door of personnel, which also included Clifford Ho, Rene Sogueco, Romy Santos and Bobot Guerrero, before achieving their greatest success in the mid-70s with the classic line-up of Gonzalez, Mike Hanopol and Joey "Pepe" Smith.
Between 1971 and 1981, JDLC recorded five classic albums of mostly original material ("Up In Arms," "Himig Natin", "Maskara", "Super Session" and "Kahit Anong Mangyari") after which they broke up and pursued solo careers.
Aside from "Beep Beep" their other classic songs include "Balong Malalim", "Rak En Rol Sa Ulan", "Himig Natin", "Kagatan", "No Touch" and "Titsers Enemi No. 1".
Ironically, despite the generally rebellious and anti-establishment image of rock music as defined by long hair, hippie outfits and, yes, mind-altering substances, the Juan Dela Cruz band found success during a most unusual era: Ferdinand Marcos' Martial Law.
Radio stardom
Founding member Wally Gonzalez, now also regarded as one of the country's greatest rock guitarists, remember that it was DZRJ-AM, a radio station taken over and operated by the military during that turbulent period, that first gave them radio airplay.
"Actually, kaya kami nakapasok sa DZRJ, bumili kami ng one-hour special program para lang for JDLC every Wednesday para ma-promote yung album naming 'Himig Natin'. Yun ang pinaka unang Pinoy Rock. After nagustuhan ng tao yung special program na 'yun, sinimulan naman ng RJ yung show nilang 'Pinoy Rock N' Rhythm' na sumuporta sa iba pang mga Pinoy Rock na banda," Wally recalled to InterAksyon in an exclusive interview.
Wally is proud of the fact that the airplay enjoyed by JDLC and the favorable public response to it also altered the landscape of music radio programming at the time.
"Dati puro English ang maririnig mo eh kwela yung 'Himig Natin'. Mabuti naman at maraming nagsunuran na gumawa ng Tagalog na musika," he observed.
For a band that was supposed to maintain a low profile after the declaration, Wally said JDLC, like the Hotdog after them, also had a relatively easier time flourishing during that supposed dark era. He even vividly remembered where the band was on that fateful day of September 21, 1972.
"We were having a gig at Dewey (now Roxas) Boulevard. On our way home, may mga checkpoint na naka-set up na so nagtataka kami kung bakit, yun pala na-declare na ang Martial Law," he recalled.
"Awa ng Diyos, wala namang naaresto sa min for drugs or having long hair, ang buhok ko pa naman nun, hanggang baywang. Siguro dahil madalas akala nila babae ako."
Although he admitted that the live circuit took a hit during the early years of what Marcos also dubbed as the New Society, Wally was surprised that the Marcos children took a liking to the band and invited them regularly to play at parties in Malacañang.
"Among the venues that we played for the Marcoses during those days were the Maharlika Hall, Jade House, Ang Pangulo yacht and the house of the Romualdezes in Olot, Leyte. We were treated as guests, with the same food and drinks and we could freely mingle with the crowds. Nakikipagkwentuhan sa amin sina President and Mrs. Marcos and also their kids, maski na long hair kami at hippie attire," he further recalled.
Wally said they were all even issued a curfew pass, which they often used to poke fun at those manning the checkpoints.
"Pagkatapos ng mga gigs naming after 2AM, ipapasyal pa namin yung mga curfew pass namin sa checkpoints. Cheap thrills ba, hehe! Sasabihin sa amin nung mga military sa checkpoints, 'Hirap naman sa inyo, inaabuso nyo ang curfew pass nyo eh'."
Not that they also weren't scared of the military back then. Wally said that although they did not feel that the government was clamping down on everyone, they were still scared of what they read about the dreaded Metrocom. "Nakakatakot talaga sila nung mga panahong yun. Pag naaresto daw yung iba, nawawala na lang, ganun ang mga balita nun," he exclaimed.
Unhindered creativity.
Fortunately, the Martial Law crackdowns did not extend to their songs and hardly hindered their creativity. Some songs of JDLC such as "Rak En Rol Sa Ulan", "Nadapa Sa Arina" and "Kagatan" are believed to have subtle drug references but to Wally's recollection, none of their songs was ever censored.
"Parang double meaning ang ibang kanta ng JDLC, nasa sa iyo na lang ang interpretation. Naturally, yung mga tumititra ng drugs o humihitit ng marijuana, i-a-associate agad sa drugs yung narinig nila sa kanta. Parang wala naming paki ang gobyerno sa amin noon. Wala naman kaming kanta na-ban during Martial Law. Madalas pa ngang patugtugin sa radio eh", he pointed out.
As for the most important legacy of the band that continues to play reunion gigs from time to time — the most recent of which was last October 20 at the Hard Rock Café in a gig called "Super Session Live!" — Wally said their biggest contribution was composing and recording songs in our very own language.
"Mabuti naman at maraming nagsunuran na gumawa ng kantang Tagalog after us. Hanggang ngayon, marami pa ring gumagawa ng Original Pilipino Music so para sa akin, okay yun."

Story and photos by Terry Duffy
The tents are up, a host of rides, vendors and concessions are going full tilt and thousands are enjoying another Lewiston Kiwanis Peach Festival.
As one can imagine, in their extensive planning, festival organizers the Kiwanis Club of Lewiston utilize the assistance of literally dozens if not hundreds of contributors in making the Niagara County Peach Festival the fantastic event that it is. Wide-ranging support covers virtually all the bases - from utility services to festival set-ups, transportation and parking needs, to hospitality, foods and beverages, banking and finances, to security, police and medical services, even toilet services and trash pickups. It's the type of planning, organization and support that mimics the running of a city.
One contributor has been a mainstay with Lewiston Kiwanis and the Peach Festival almost from the event's inception - the Lewiston-based Modern Corporation.
Incorporated in 1964 by the late Steve Washuta, a longtime Kiwanian, Modern had simple beginnings. It started out as a small, two-truck garbage pick-up and disposal operation operated by Washuta, intended as a means of expanding his seasonal paving business, while also providing a steady income for his family.
The business - thanks to Washuta's dedication and strong work ethic - grew locally at the onset as the area's industry and population did, and expanded dramatically in the decades that followed as the nation's waste disposal demands intensified.
Today, Modern ranks in a Waste News profile of waste disposal companies as the 20th largest waste-hauling company in the U.S. It's still privately owned and headquartered in Lewiston, and employs more than 500 people with operations in New York, Florida and Southern Ontario. Modern's services have grown to include waste management, landfilling, recycling, even hydroponics.
But Modern's growth over the years has never diminished the decades-old desire, begun by the elder Washuta and continued by his family, to help out. For the Lewiston Kiwanis and its Peach Festival, it has come in many forms.
Modern Vice President Robert Trunzo, a Lewiston Kiwanis member going on 28 years, related how Steve and his wife, Sonia, started out by assisting Lewiston Kiwanis in the mid-1960s. Each summer the couple would open their home and host pool parties for the Peach Queen contestants.
As his company grew, so did Washuta's interest in providing various forms of assistance to the Peach Festival - be it for trash pickups, moving and storing equipment, site maintenance and repair or helping with festival set-ups. "That was Steve's MO; he was that type of guy. He was always in the background," said Trunzo.
He pointed out that over the years, Modern, led by Washuta, took it upon its own initiative to assist Kiwanis Peach organizers, providing a variety of in-kind services, whenever needed, for the festival. Modern was key, for example, in helping prep the Artpark plateau area, furnishing donated materials and labor when the Peach Festival was forced to move to that location for a two-year stint as Academy Park was being renovated. Another year, when Academy Park was hit hard with heavy rains from the remnants of a hurricane, Modern pitched in with tons of wood chips and provided the equipment and manpower necessary to help make the park workable for the festival and its thousands of visitors.
And Modern continues its help today, providing Lewiston Kiwanis with such festival services - all in kind - as trash pickups, toilet and restroom operations, equipment movement and storage, trailer storage and even manpower.
It also contributes to the club with the Modern clambake, a popular event held each summer at Kiwanis Park. All proceeds from the event go straight to Lewiston Kiwanis.
"It's a tradition (of helping) started by Steve that continues to this day," said Trunzo.
As a proud recipient, the Kiwanis Club of Lewiston is certainly mindful of this.
"Modern has been wonderful to us over the years," Randy Gorzka, a past Kiwanis president, commented this week. Pointing to an assistance value that totals in the thousands of dollars, he added, "At times, I don't know how we would do it without them."
"Modern has been exceptional," added Jerry Wolfgang, Peach Festival advisory chairman. "We're lucky to have them."
It's something local residents and festival visitors should keep in mind as they visit the Academy Park setting this weekend and see, firsthand, what this Lewiston company does for its community.

About me
Thank you for taking time to look at my profile :).
Here are the 3 areas in which I work, and can offer help to you;
- I specialise in Relationship Counselling; which means that I have expertise and experience in working with individuals, couples, families and multi-family groups.
- I also provide Systemic supervision to Systemic & Family Practitioners (CYP-IAPT)
- In addition to this, I offer Systemic (relational) consultation and supervision to teams to promote greater cohesion and resilience.
I would be very happy to discuss more about what I offer and how I can help if you contact me with your questions and thoughts. I offer a free initial telephone consultation to see if the sort of therapy that I offer might be useful to you. After that, I offer a reduced rate for our first meeting too.
Please note that if you are making an enquiry to me via e-mail, I would advise that you keep the enquiry information to a minimum - to best protect sensitive information. We can discuss detail when we speak by phone :)
So here's a little about my experience;
I have worked therapeutically with individuals, couples, families and young people since 2004, in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient services in the NHS and private sector.
People have come to me for help with a variety of issues. Some examples are grief, loss, anxiety, depression, (un)employment pressures, affairs, and sexuality. I have worked with families in which a child has a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, and where parents and grandparents have experienced the loss of a child. I have a good understanding of and have worked with, a range of learning disabilities.
I have worked with people who have eating disorders, in the health sector since 2010, and currently work with young people and their families who have diagnoses of anorexia, bulimia and ARFED in the NHS. I also provide systemic supervision and consultation in this role, to individuals and teams of professionals, who are trained in different specialisms.

Further information
A bit about systemic ways of working....
Systemic and Family Therapists undergo a further 4 years of training, after qualifying in their core profession. We are trained to work with a variety of issues - some of these can easily be seen as shared between people, such as couple wanting therapy to decide if they should stay together, or how to manage intimacy struggles or unfulfilled hopes and dreams. Equally family arguments (between siblings, grandparents, parents, in-laws) can lead to a lot of distress. Discussing these things safely, either alone or together, is something that a Family Therapist has the skill set to help with!
Equally, working with a family can be really useful when one person in that family has been given a diagnosis, such as depression, or anxiety, or dementia. This is because we understand that these struggles can effect everyone in families. So we can see people individually, or together, or a mixture of the two. This sort of therapy can be helpful for families that want to build closer, happier relationships and manage change, loss and separation by supporting one another better. You can be helped towards identifying your strengths and work towards positive change.
Please do not hesitate to contact me, should you have any further questions or curiosities.

Press Releases
Launching Ceremony-cum-Industry Promotion of Pilot Programme to Enhance Talent Training for the Asset and Wealth Management Sector
The Government held the Launching Ceremony-cum-Industry Promotion under the Pilot Programme to Enhance Talent Training for the Asset and Wealth Management Sector (WAM Pilot Programme) this afternoon (October 15). The event marked the official launch of the WAM Pilot Programme and the first of a series of industry promotion activities to post-secondary students.
The ceremony was officiated by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Professor K C Chan. Other officiating guests were the Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services), Mr Andrew Wong, and the Chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute, Mr John Maguire.
Professor Chan said in his welcome remarks that the purpose of the WAM Pilot Programme was to deepen students' understanding of the asset and wealth management sector and to attract them to join the sector upon graduation. He also said that, through the launching ceremony and industry promotion activities, students could learn more about the nature and roles of different jobs that the asset and wealth management sector offers. He thanked the Steering Committee on the WAM Pilot Programme, the training institutes and industry stakeholders for their support in launching the WAM Pilot Programme.
The event featured a panel discussion moderated by the Dean of School of Continuing Education at Hong Kong Baptist University, Professor Raymond So, as well as other breakout sessions. Six speakers with extensive experience in asset and wealth management shared their experience with the participants. There was also an industry promotion exhibition comprising 15 exhibitors including local and international asset and wealth management companies as well as industry associations.
Professor Chan said he hoped that, through direct interaction with in-service practitioners during the panel and breakout discussions, students could gain more understanding and insights into the various career opportunities open to them, the functional roles available in the front, middle and back offices of the asset and wealth management sector, and the qualifications needed to enter the field.
The Government launched the three-year WAM Pilot Programme on August 29, 2016, with the objectives of attracting new blood to expand the talent pool, particularly in the more technical areas, and to enhance the professional competency of the asset and wealth management sector, which is necessary for the sustainable development of the sector. Initiatives under the WAM Pilot Programme include promotion and education, an internship programme for undergraduate students, and a financial incentive scheme for the professional training of in-service practitioners in the financial services industry. Details of the WAM Pilot Programme are available at the website www.wamtalent.org.hk/eng/.

Basement Music Series returns
The series moved to Bennington's Masonic Hall prior to the 2016 season, after previously being hosted for its entire existence at the VAE's Sage Street Mill property in North Bennington, which the arts organization moved out of in 2015, after 21 years.
For each show in the series, doors will open at 7 p.m. and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. Ticket prices vary depending on the artist, but are typically between $15-20 in advance and $18-25 at the door. For more information, including the pricing for specific shows, visit vtartxchange.org/music. The Masonic Hall is an accessible facility, but guests are encouraged to contact the VAE to discuss any specific accommodations.
The series will open on Saturday, Jan. 13 with the New England-based reggae group the Alchemystics. The five-part band describes itself as, "fueled by their passion to explore beyond the edges of traditional musical boundaries and their diverse ethnic and musical backgrounds, the Alchemystics blend reggae, politically infused hip-hop, gritty soul, hard-driving rock, and pulsing Jamaican, Cuban and Trinidadian rhythms into an utterly unique and distinctively original new sound. The result is modern-day roots music with global appeal - an alchemy of ancient musical traditions; intricate, intelligent wordplay; elementally raw soul; irresistible hooks; deep, driving rhythms; and old-school vocal harmonies - fired by the Alchemystic's unique blend of intensity, passion, and sheer artistic chemistry into a powerful, contemporary, and unmistakable sound." Learn more about them at alchemystics.com.
Coming to town on Saturday, Jan. 27 will be the Americana and bluegrass group Eastbound Jesus, which formed in a barn in Greenwich, N.Y. in 2010. "Their music draws from a diverse range of influences, from bluegrass to country to rock and roll and beyond," reads their online biography, which can be found at eastboundjesus.com. "They have developed a style that is distinctly their own, one they have dubbed "Northern Rock." Featuring shredding banjo and guitars, a thumping rhythm section and sweet sounding vocal harmonies, it's a sound that expresses what life is like in a small town, through all of it's changing seasons."
Just before Valentine's Day, on Thursday, Feb. 8 and Friday, Feb. 9, the Berkshires' Gypsy Layne Cabaret and Company will make their annual trip to Bennington. "Gypsy Layne's hallmark of bawdy humor, live singing, dynamic dance routines, and cheeky sex appeal are prominently featured in their sizzling shows," according to the Burlesque group's website, gypsylayne.com. "Bigger, bolder, and better than ever, this tantalizing crew of saucy ladies and strapping gents will tease their way into your hearts (and other areas) with their outrageous artistry and vivacious charms." While there is no full nudity in the show, per se, this is still one best left for more mature audiences.
Also in February, Zydegroove will be rolling in on Sat. Feb. 17. "Zydegroove is a New York-based zydeco band with one prime directive — to deliver the most irresistible dance grooves possible," the group explains on their website, zydegroove.com. "Their signature country zydeco sound along with an unchained performance style sets this band in a category of its own. Started by Laren Droll on accordion, Zydegroove has been brewing for many years and has coalesced around a remarkable group of fine musicians who love rhythm and love to zydeco."
Zydeco, per Wikipedia, "is a musical genre that evolved in southwest Louisiana by French Creole speakers which blends blues, rhythm and blues, and music indigenous to the Louisiana Creoles and the Native people of Louisiana."
The shows will continue through March and April with performances by Aubrey Logan, Sean Rowe, Session Americana, The NEKtones, and The Mammals with Mike and Ruthy.
VAE Executive Director Matthew Perry said that a cash bar will be provided by Thyme Tables Catering of Shaftsbury, as will snacks by Bringing You Vermont Caf .
Perry said that this year's concert series, which typically features national and local artists from a variety of musical backgrounds, will be better than ever with the addition of a new speaker system.
For more information, or to learn about becoming a sponsor of the series, contact Perry at 802-442-5549 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
