Based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, MacPhail is an active performer, curator, film composer, session player and music educator.
MacPhail is the first-ever Canadian artist sponsored by the Gemeinhardt family, one of the music industry's largest exclusive manufacturer of flutes and piccolos. Gemeinhardt President & CEO, David Pirtle says, "Gemeinhardt is thrilled to sponsor the creative artistry of Canada's looping flutist, Rozalind MacPhail. She is a dynamic and gifted performer who inspires through her lively audio-visual performances and interactive music workshops."
MacPhail grew up in Canada on a small group of islands nestled in the harbour of Toronto, Ontario called Toronto Island. She has lived in many parts of Canada but it was the artistically vibrant city of St. John's, Newfoundland that stole her heart.
Following years of classical music performance training at the Etobicoke School of the Arts, University of Toronto and University of Ottawa, she has pursued her interest in a wide range of musical genres, while performing as guest flutist with other artists, including Yo La Tengo, Lou Barlow, Constantines, Great Lake Swimmers, Elliott Brood and Pick a Piper.
Rozalind seeks opportunities to create music for film, particularly through live performance synchronized to image. She looks forward to performing her original music worldwide, while connecting with audiences of all ages. As a music clinician, Rozalind has presented workshops in Canada and the United States in flute performance, live scoring for film, looping through Ableton Live and music career development.

Independent – Rozalind MacPhail – Edgework
Review first appeared in Yorkton This Week newspaper July 23, 2008 – Yorkton, SK. Canada
Oh my, sometimes musicians just find a way to make you go wow! That's exactly what Rozalind MacPhail accomplished on the song Tofino Kiss, the opening cut of her CD Edgework. To begin with, there was MacPhail's voice, happy, unique, clear. It carries a sweetness which is memorable. That said, it is a voice which is enhanced by the fact MacPhail is wise enough to allow it to slip into the background. At those moments she remains central to the music, as she plays her flute. Now I will admit to my ear the flute, when handled by a fine musician, can be one of the most hauntingly beautiful instruments. In this case it is used to wonderful affect. MacPhail attended several music schools in Canada and abroad, having become both a long-term resident at the Banff Centre and an Artist-In-Residence at The Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, and the experience shows as her flute work obviously draws on the traditions of several cultures. The music is overall modern pop-oriented. No it's not bubblegum sweet, but rather filled with emotion and heart, thanks to the combination of MacPhail's voice, and the skillfully used flute, which is allowed to be an integral part of the music. Of course instrumentation is a strength here. The title song is a wonderful ride of different sounds, all put together smoothly. At times the music is haunting, like the lead in to Baba's – Unite Us All, at other times it's happier like on Tofino Kiss, but whichever emotion MacPhail choses to bring out with her flute, it all works. This is one of those albums which should have more musicians exploring how the flute can be incorporated into music clearly geared to a younger audience, although this CD will be appreciated by any listener with an ear for wonderful music. MacPhail does set her own course here, but it's a journey the listener will be glad they signed on for. Check this amazing artist out at www.rozalindmacphail.com

Aug 22 2007, Victoria
Written by Dana McNairn
Originally hailing from Toronto (via Ottawa and Banff), and now calling Victoria home, Rozalind MacPhail has quickly made a name for herself on the alt-folk scene. The self-described full-time flautist/singer-songwriter has released her first full-length album, Edgework, following the EP releases Gas Station Sessions: Seven Songs for Seven Years (2005) and Seattle Sessions: Less is More (2006). It's Jethro Tull meets mid-1990s Ani DiFranco. MacPhail agrees with the alternative folk category, but with an "indie vibe." Despite the classical training, MacPhail's specialty as a flautist is more improvisational and fluid. While her songwriting on Edgework is the fairly standard shitty breakups and self-centred boyfriends, the album's overall mood is generous and light-hearted and feels, at times, like you're entering into a fairytale. This surely has to be because of the presence of MacPhail's omnichord with its rich vibrato and "wait for it", a glockenspiel. When was the last time you heard a glockenspiel? Do you even know what a glockenspiel is? Nonetheless, the overall effect, among the acoustic and electric guitars and guest cello, electronics, banjo, marimba and sax (among other instruments) is playful and at times whimsical ("Letting You Go" or "Early Morning Montreal"), at times bittersweet ("Icicles") or funky (as in the bass line in "Baba's-Unite Us All"). Instrumental tracks are also interspersed throughout this 12-song debut, adding to the splendid soundscapes.

Barry Champlain says a lot of nasty things to his listeners in Talk Radio; the kinds of things that enrage the easily offended, give program directors conniptions - and make affiliates hungry to syndicate his hot-button program across America.
Does he go too far? Absolutely. At least once every ten minutes. But the show rolls on, the callers don't stop, and the sponsors hang in, appalled, fascinated, perhaps thrilled by the free content that is so antithetical to what they're used to in their world of safe, bland branding. At least that was Eric Bogosian's vision 19 years ago when he penned his poison valentine to a type of radio that has only grown wider and wilder since.
Remember that Talk Radio came before Opie and Anthony were fired because two listeners knocked boots in a pew, before Howard Stern ever used the "f" word or promoted something called a Sybian; and before DJ Star threatened to use his rival's four-year-old child as a toilet. It was also before Don Imus said the wrong thing on the wrong day and found himself summarily executed for 30 years worth of similar offenses that his detractors assumedly kept on file but never bothered to pursue.
Not all these deejays fit the label "shock jock," though any talk host who pushes the envelope and unfetters his deepest thoughts (from the shackles of political correctness) risks being slapped with that label. At that point, everything he says becomes suspect, every joke gets extra scrutiny because he's expected to be a bad boy. Such is the nature of context. "Nappy-headed ho's" in the mouth of an Imus is racist, in the mouth of an Ice Cube is gangsta cool, in the mouth of an Eddie Murphy is wickedly hilarious. In the mouth of Barry Champlain, par for the course - and forgotten by the next caller.
That said, Bogosian takes pains to show that for all his vicious and baiting comments, Champlain is no racist. To him, we're all sinking in the same toxic slime-pit, so we might as well be honest about it.
All of this Imus overreaction reminds me of Peter Ackerman's modestly amusing comedy, Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight, which played off-Broadway in 1999. In its memorable opening scene, Midnight shows a young couple in the throes of lovemaking as they grunt and make the usual exclamations of passion. That is, until Nancy, near orgasm, begs her boyfriend Ben, "Do me, you hook-nosed Jew!"
As you might expect, an evening's worth of coitus interruptus follows, with non-Jewish Nancy apologizing, backpedaling, and trying to get to the root of what would make her say such a thing. Meanwhile, Ben bristles, argues and attempts to forgive this one tossed-off remark in the light of their otherwise supportive relationship. In her CurtainUp.com review of Midnight, Elyse Sommer used the phrase, "if it's on your lung, it's on your tongue," to refer to people whose slips of the lip reveal something darker underneath. At the same time, she half-buys the play's explanation that, "saying...outrageous things is a way of being a bad person for one second without having to explain yourself."
Of course, Don Imus, with his stupid remark about the Rutgers basketball team, wound up paying for a litany of poorly-considered seconds. But as someone who currently hosts a weekly radio program and has had his own run-ins with both knee-jerk censorship and legitimate criticism - sometimes simultaneously - I side firmly with those who say forgive but don't forget. I've never been an Imus fan, but compile all the hateful seconds of his career, and they might add up to a couple hours. Weigh those against the hundreds of thousands of hours of material that were harmless, funny, informative and honest, and perhaps the ad-addled cowards at CBS and MSNBC would have chosen a different

text: OldSchoolLion 1,761 Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Miami-Dade County high school football has its very own version of "A League of their Own" this season. With county powers Northwestern, Central, Booker T. Washington and Columbus, to name a few, having taken over the landscape in terms of domination and stacking rosters with top talent on an annual basis, the likes of Reagan, Goleman Coral Park, Varela and other programs have been left in the dust. Rather than get discouraged, the "little guys" who weren't so little in terms of school size, went out and did something about it. With Reagan coach John Lopez, assistant coach Jorge Rojas along with the GMAC leading the way, months of contacting other schools to get them on board, along with informing the FHSAA that they would not be participating in the state series when it came to football, eventually led to the berth of the Miami-Dade County Football Conference. All 12 schools will still continue to be very much a part of the GMAC, they simply will not participate in the FHSAA state football playoffs come November. "This gives us a chance to be competitive and to be honest a sense of fairness since the entire county has now kind of become an entire group of either 'haves' or 'have-nots,' " said Lopez who is the only coach the Reagan program has ever known, starting it from scratch 12 years ago. "Speaking just for Reagan, being capped out enrollment-wise, we've always taken pride in just simply figuring out how to play with whatever comes in the doors. Obviously we weren't the only ones with this problem. Other schools were in the same boat and that's when we started to put together the idea of doing something like this." A total of 12 programs joined up to form the conference that is split into two divisions of six, a south division and a north. Forming the south are Braddock, Coral Park, Sunset, Reagan, Varela and Ferguson. Goleman, Hialeah-Miami Lakes, Mourning, Krop, Hialeah Gardens and Westland Hialeah are in the north. Both out of the gate with 3-0 starts, Goleman and Krop would appear to be the two best teams in this group of a dozen. "Our kids are excited for it, our coaches are excited for it I'm excited for it and our school is excited for it," said Goleman head coach Ariel Cribiero. "I'd like to think that teams and programs that do it the right way and build with their own kids that this is our way of rewarding those kids. We're a magnet school, our kids are smart, going to Ivy League schools, not necessarily to play football. We want to give them a great experience and going to this independent league will give them that opportunity." The set up will be relatively simple. Each team will play the other five in its own division and then four other games against teams from the opposite division for a total of nine games. The 10th game (including a bye week) will be played the final regular season week (Oct. 31-Nov. 2). "We will pair up the two sixth-place teams against each other, then the fifth place and so on up to third place," Rojas said. "Whoever finishes first and second will qualify for our playoffs on that weekend as well. The two semifinals will be first place from one division playing second from the other division and vice versa." The two semifinal winners will then meet in the championship game, scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 9 at a neutral site, possibly Milander Stadium. "This new conference, it's not going to be any different in that we're going to come out with the same attitude every week play football the way we know how to play," said Reagan senior quarterback Johnny Vega. "It's a matter of knowing that we have to beat whoever is in front of us. But now we'll shoot to win the championship in our conference and that's going to be pretty cool." 3 1 1 aknenn, HornetFan, Cat_Scratch and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's getting colder outside and with that change comes temperature challenges for young calves. We've written before on the importance of bumping up solids intake for calves during the winter, but we can also improve calf performance by strategizing for better care during the wool-cap season.
A recent article by Sarah Morrison in the Miner Institute Farm Report outlined a few of those considerations.
Immediately after birth, calves need to be dried off and warmed up as quickly as possible. Calves have very small fat reserves at birth, and they often need external heat support to stay warm. Toweling calves off and getting them into a warming box can be a great strategy for getting calves off on the right foot.
Check for proper solids content in the calf milk, but also ensure that the milk or milk replacer is fed at the proper temperature. "Make sure every liquid meal a calf gets is at or just above body temperature (target 105°F) when a calf is consuming that meal," Morrison said.
Along with milk or milk replacer at a proper temperature, offer starter early in the calf's life. Starter can jumpstart the rumen and help the calf generate more heat.
The final consideration for keeping calves healthy in the cold is bedding. Make sure the bedding is deep enough for the calf to be able to nestle in. Dry straw is ideal. Provide an extra layer of protection from the cold by placing calf jackets on the younger animals. Morrison reminded farmers to ensure that there are enough calf jackets for the number of calves expected.
Among the winter preparations you make this year, make sure you think of the youngest critters on the farm and how they are affected.

DEKALB Create Conference 2019:
Farming for the future
DEKALB was extremely proud to be the hosts of our very first DEKALB Create Conference this year. The conference took place in Secunda on 5 February 2019 and at Nampo Park near Bothaville on 7 February 2019.
2019's theme was specifically focussed on farming for the future in South Africa and aimed to address the challenges maize producers are currently facing. The DEKALB Create Conference provided an unparalleled opportunity for farmers to rub shoulders with industry leaders and to equip themselves with the necessary tools for the road ahead.
Speakers such as Prof Marcos Fava Neves, an international expert on global agri-business issues shared his insights with the audience, while Kyle Tom from Tom Farms travelling all the way from Indiana, America to speak about how digitising agriculture has the potential to be the next "disruptive technology". Theo Vorster (Nation in Conversation and Sakegesprek met Theo Vorster) also acted as the facilitator at the event.
The conference also made provision for the ladies with a special Women's Programme. Sinki Mlambo (presenter of My Matriekafskeid on VIA) acted as the guest speaker.
Take a look at the gallery below:
Theo Vorster ("Nation in Conversation" and "Sakegesprek met Theo Vorster") gives an overview of both the Main Programme as well as the Women's Programme at the first ever DEKALB Create Conference in Graceland (Secunda) and Nampo Park (near Bothaville).

Getting straight teeth is a struggle for countless dental patients. With modern orthodontics, new technology makes that challenge easier. If you're looking for a way to perfect your smile without the hassle and wait time of traditional braces, your best bet might be a Fastbraces® provider in Broomfield, CO.
These professionals use a revolutionary system to deliver results in three months to a single year. In addition to being quick, Fastbraces® tend to be:
- Highly Effective
- Less Painful
- Less Reliant on Retainers
Popular because of their vast improvements in comfort and reliability, these braces are the contemporary answer to the age-old problem of misaligned teeth. They work by bypassing the two-stage treatment of traditional braces. Instead of aligning the crowns in the first year, then the roots in the second, Fastbraces® utilize specially designed wires and brackets to start with the roots immediately.
This process allows them to move the root and crown simultaneously, vastly reducing treatment time for many patients. Ultimately, that means less of a hassle with the same stunning results as less modern methods. Still a relatively new innovation, Fastbraces® requires a knowledgeable provider and stands out as one of the leading options for those seeking a straighter smile faster.

INTRODUCTION To THE CHRISTIAN's MAGAZINE.
As one of the avowed designs of this work is to assert the truth and refute error, it has to combat in the outset a fashionable and imposing prejudice. It seems to be taken for granted, that how perfect soever the right of judging and professing for ourselves, there exists no right of inquiry into the judgment or profession of others. In religion, at least, this maxim is held to be incontrovertible by many who never think of applying it to any other subject. To disquisitions on topics in which all denominations agree, they can listen with pleasure; they can even permit the peculiarities of each to be detailed in succession; but from every thing which wears the form of controversy they turn away with spontaneous contempt. Their aver'sion is so fixed that hardly any plea of excel
VoI. III. 1
lence will be allowed in behalf of a work which stands convicted on the charge of being controversial. The fact is sufficient to preclude every other trial, and to infer condemnation as a matter of course. That these summary and oftentimes injurious decisions have been unprovoked on the part of disputants, I shall not affirm. On the contrary, I will freely concede that the unfairness, the heat, and the rudeness, which too frequently occur in polemical writings, are most offensive to the discreet reader, and make him shy of authors from whom he may expect such entertainment. But while there can be no apology for conduct which offers equal violence to the rules of good breeding and the precepts of Christianity, there is ground to suspect that more is attributed to its influence in producing the prevalent dislike to controversy than it can justly claim. For as our age must not arrogate to itself the praise of all the meekness and candor which have been in the world, so it is certain that men great and good, pacific and modest, have studied the most controverted themes in an age when harshness and incivility were more common than they are now. In accounting, then, for that prejudice which we are considering, much must be deducted from the current professions of courtesy and candor, and transferred to that indifference which will not be at the pains to examine on which side lies the right of a question concerning eternal hope For such a morbid state of feeling we can suggest no remedy, and can only pour out our most fervent prayer that the first admonition which it shall be compelled to regard may not be that awful voice, "Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime hadst thy good things!" The prejudice itself, unlike those lessons with which truth and wisdom preoccupy the heart, will appear, upon a close inspection, to be as destitute of solidity as it is assuming in manner; for, in the
1st place, It admits not of dispute that the holy scriptures point out an opposite course. Their injunction is, to buy the truth and sell it not. To cease from the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge—earnestly to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints—to try the spirits whether they are of God. All these directions imply, not that men are to spend their lives in laying the foundations of their faith, but that they are to employ their opportunities and faculties in selecting the true from the false; that they are to prize it when selected; to enrich it with fresh acquisitions; and to defend it with their utmost skill. How this can be done without controversy, so long as there are "deceivers in the world," it is incumbent on them to show who would suffer the truths of the gospel to be sacrificed, one after another, by men of "corrupt minds," rather than raise a finger or press an argument for their protection. It is indeed not more lamentable than true, that a host of candidates beset the inquirer. Every sect cries out, we are the people, and the law of the Lord is with us ; every partisan enforces the pretensions of his sect. But this, though frequently urged, is the weakest of all reasons for keeping aloof from investigation. The amount is, "the danger of going astray is great, the consequences fatal; therefore I will shut my eyes." Good sense would say, "the danger of error is great, the consequences fatal; therefore I will use all my diligence that I may not be misled;" for certainly, if "straight be the gate and narrow the way which leadeth unto life," we have the strongest inducement possible to search out and embrace the "few who find it." We are, therefore, reduced to this alternative, either that there is no truth at all, or that we are bound to seek it through every peril, to distinguish its voice amid all clamors, and to possess it at any price, If this condition seem hard, let it be remembered,

Liquid Telecom has launched Africa Wi-Fi Hub, a roaming hub that enables operators and internet service providers (ISPs) to access its network of public Wi-Fi hotspots across Africa.
This comes barely a month after the pan-African telecommunications group announced the introduction of the next-generation satellite that delivers improves performance, better economics and simplified access, Intelsat EpicNG into its network.
The roaming hub will allow its wholesale customers to enable their subscribers to connect to hundreds of locations across Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, leveraging the largest independent pan-African fibre network.
Ben Roberts, Group CTIO, Liquid Telecom said, "Africa Wi-Fi Hub is an important step in bringing together the region's Wi-Fi networks, reducing cost and complexity for operators and extending coverage for their subscribers".
Liquid Telecom will be able to support more subscribers with access to high-quality, reliable connectivity across Africa through new roaming partnerships. It currently partners with major Tier 1 carriers, such as BT, and leading global Wi-Fi network providers, such as iPass.
By joining Africa Wi-Fi Hub, operators can make their public Wi-Fi hotspots available to some of Liquid Telecom's Wi-Fi roaming partners, joining a global network of public Wi-Fi hotspots without negotiating their own roaming agreements, the company says.
The hub will accelerate Wi-Fi roaming across the region, enable easy and secure access as well as reduce roaming charges.
Connection to Africa Wi-Fi Hub is through peering points in Eastern Africa and Southern Africa with the option to connect to hundreds of locations in one country or join a global network of public Wi-Fi hotspots.
Africa Wi-Fi Hub is also available as a white label service to Liquid Telecom partners and customers, providing them with brand visibility across all or part of Liquid Telecom's network.
It will be rolled out in additional markets soon.

I have a small suggestion to add here, not sure how feasible it is.
When readers who are not part of the panel submit questions, maybe other people can vote on it with a thumbs up or thumbs down emoji. More 👍🏼 will push the question higher up the queue. This way even if not all the questions are answered, at least the more popular questions will have a better chance of being answered.
Only the panel moderator should be able to see who voted with what emoji. Users not part of the panel only get too see the number of emojis on a question.
User submitted questions can scroll on the right like in a YouTube live chat as int the gif below. Sorry on mobile, so can't embed links or upload a gif. :(

BRIDGES – lost connection between the reality and the world of technology
Bridges have a practical use – they link A to B. There's something fascinating about bridges. They also represent incredible accomplishments of engineering and design. Bridges are also providing inspiration in the arts.
Social media allows people to interact with each other. This internet service can increase happiness. It is free for everyone and opportunities are limitless. One question is left unanswered: "Is social media good or bad?"
Social media (the internet as a whole) is what you make of it.
Like many other different things in life there are benefits of using social media and at the same time disadvantages.
Negative feedback, lack of privacy and new way of human interactions – all those simple things have quite a strong impact at our new reality.
New way of human-interactions enabled by technology creates many possibilities. We can communicate with people around the whole globe. We CAN… a lot..
At the same time we CANNOT a lot because… The list of reasons is long. Some people will tell us that our list of reasons "why not?" is a list of our excuses "why not". I disagree. How many times do we hear "noises", which are encouraging, supportive, promising and they are promising "better reality". We can compare our lifestyle to different lifestyles.
Yes, it was always this way. 100 years ago as well…with one single detail: it was invisible. Guests from the movie "Titanic" could see a gap in a way how people can live, spend time and enjoy the company of others. As a second example I will give a title "Coco before Chanel". Similar way of "lifestyles" like in a movie "Titanic".
Nowadays we don't need a buy a ticket to be a part of journey at metaphorically "Titanic", we don't need this cost. We don't need this effort to see a difference. We can check out Instagram and find out the way to ILLUSION. Idealism, exhibition, perfectionism… and more. Did we ask ourselves how many misunderstandings does our activity on social media creates each day?
It is scientifically proven that looking through a window increases a lack ability to focus. Are we focused sitting in a restaurant waiting at our dinner? Are we hear and now? Or are we with thoughts somewhere else with curiosity awaiting the most convenient moment to put our hands on our phone and "eat" news from digital reality first. Sometimes when finally a dinner arrives we are not hungry anymore. Is it true? It is. The issue is we are losing a focus with full awareness. The next topic would be suggested how to use social media without losing a focus and productivity? I think with the amount of questions we create an amount of answers.
There we have so called "good answers", which are temporarily helpful. They are working for a while. They are containing an advice. The next question: "How long?" In the reality, which is changing each single day… In the reality of uncertainty we have to try to adjust. Fast adjustment can bring stress on board. However sometimes we have to face it.
Do we have a different choice? Are we able to switch off our phones for one week? I don't think so. We will get bunch of messages with questions if something happens, "Is everything ok? I try to call you." This is a way to awareness that we are all trapped. TOGETHER. We are all connected here. Our brains have to much to work on each single day. There and here. Did we notice that most of "there" are not longer present moments? Someone posted a picture, a selfie one week ago – we look at this picture and we feel the presence of new "update" before we will learn when the picture was posted. It is a memory. It can be a beautiful selfie, beautiful memory of the presence one week ago. We sit and we think that nothing changed. We may thing that if someone had a smile on the face… seven days later nothing changed. We can assume, we can be curious but we really do not know. We know something, we assume a truth but we do not know the truth. So how we deal with the issue that what do we have "now" is the only way there is? There are memories, of course. Some of them are impossible to erase from a memory, some of them are too beautiful and impossible to forget. Is a detox from social media a final remedy? Do we need this extreme? The answer is: Yes and No. What do we need is a better balance because honestly we ALL are LOST somewhere at some point of our lives in our 21st Century of limited opportunities. However predictions of Nostradamus are not longer available for 21st Century.

Malaysian GP: Sauber targets to finish both cars in the points at Sepang
By Berthold Bouman
After a dismal performance during the Australian Grand Prix, Nico Hulkenberg couldn't even start the race due to a fuel-system issue, the Swiss Sauber team is now looking forward to the next race at the Sepang International Circuit near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: Target to finish both cars in the points
"The circuit is technically challenging as there are also two long straights that require an efficient car and also several low-speed corners," said Tom McCullough, Sauber's Head of Track Engineering.
"The circuit's characteristics and typically high temperatures are also a real challenge for the tyres, which is why Pirelli will bring the medium and hard compounds. The weather can also play a significant part during the race weekend as late afternoon rain showers are common."
Asked about Sauber's target he said, "Our target for the race is to finish with both cars in the points."

Nico Hulkenberg: Malaysia totally different track
"Compared to Melbourne, the track in Malaysia has different characteristics. It's a fast track with long high-speed corners, which should suit our car well," said Nico Hulkenberg, who still hasn't driven a Grand Prix for Sauber, as he couldn't start the race in Melbourne.
He's of course hoping for improvement, but the Sepang track is very demanding due to the high temperatures in Malaysia this time of the year, "For the drivers Malaysia is always a challenge because of the high temperatures and the humidity. Lastly there is always a chance of rain, which can be interesting, especially at the start of the race."
Esteban Gutierrez: Looking to improve performance
Mexican Esteban Gutierrez finished his first Formula One race ever in 13th place, and he is aiming to improve his performance. "With the experience of an entire race here in Melbourne, I can now look at where I can improve as a driver and where we can improve as a team. Sepang is a good track, which I know from GP2. Now I'm looking forward to driving the track in a Formula One car," the youngster said.

An Israeli court has sentenced a Palestinian teenage boy to eleven years in prison on the allegation of carrying out a stabbing attack in the southern sector of the occupied West Bank.
The Commission for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs said in a statement that the Ofer military court passed the verdict on 19-year-old Daoud Manasra on Friday, and demanded that he pay a compensation of 270,000 shekels ($73,000) or serve three additional years of imprisonment in lieu of it.
Moreover, the court ordered the Palestinian teenage boy to pay a fine of 10,000 shekels ($3,000).
The committee condemned the sentence and the exorbitant financial compensation imposed on Manasra and other political prisoners in Israeli detention centers.

"This proves the barbarity of the fake Israeli judiciary, which goes hand in hand with the policies of the Israeli intelligence service, aiming to inflict the greatest damage and sanctions on Palestinians," it pointed out.
Israeli forces detained Manasra in mid-2015 after he had purportedly attacked and injured an Israeli soldier at the Beit Einun crossroads in eastern al-Khalil, located 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of Jerusalem al-Quds.
On December 16, 2018, the same Israeli court sentenced 18-year-old Ayham Bassem Sabbah, a resident of the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem al-Quds, to 35 years in prison, and also ordered him to pay a fine of one million Israeli shekels ($264,700).
Sabbah and 14-year-old Omar Salim Rimawi were both shot and critically injured on February 18, 2016, after allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack that left one Israeli settler dead and another injured at the Rami Levi supermarket in the Shaare Benyamin industrial complex northwest of Jerusalem al-Quds.

Students compete to explain years of research in 3 minutes
At a time when it is more important than ever for scientists to communicate clearly with the public, eight University of Rochester PhD students and postdocs will do their best to summarize their research with just three minutes and a slide.
They are finalists in the University's annual Three Minute Thesis competition, which will be held at 4 p.m., April 12, in the Class of '62 Auditorium at the Medical Center.
"Today, especially in America, there are a lot of people who are skeptical of scientific research – and of research in general – who want to understand where their tax dollars are going. At the end of the day, our research is going to matter to them, and they need to understand that," says organizer Melissa Glasner, a PhD student in the cell biology of disease program.
Melissa Sturge-Apple, dean of graduate studies for Arts, Sciences & Engineering, says the competition is "a fantastic opportunity for graduate students and trainees to really reflect on what are the essential and important elements in the work that they do – what is the story it can tell to policy makers, practitioners, neighbors, parents, and society that makes a lasting impression."
A total of 44 students initially entered the competition, which was founded at University of Queensland, and is now in its third year at Rochester. The eight finalists are:
- Jillian Ramos (biology)
- Derek Crowe (genetics, development, and stem cells)
- Parker Riley (computer science)
- Robert Maynard (cell biology of disease)
- Marian Ackun-Farmmer (biomedical engineering)
- Lauren VanGelder (chemistry)
- Simeon Abiola (translational biomedical science)
- Kathryn-Mary Wakim (neuroscience)
By design, half the finalists are from the School of Medicine and Dentistry and the other half from the River Campus.
The winner will receive a $750 research travel award. There are also $500 and $250 research travel awards, respectively, for the runner-up and the people's choice winner.
An art and a skill
"The ability to talk about research and scholarship in simple terms and make it accessible – this really is an art but it also a very important skill. This isn't something that is taught necessarily in the training of PhD students and postdocs. This contest provides a catalyst for this type of thinking," Sturge-Apple says.
Glasner concurs. She competed last year and says the experience "made me think about my science in a more global perspective. It helped me with my communication skills, because I am so used to speaking jargony science with my colleagues, and I would like to reach out to the general public."
There are benefits to the University as well. When an engineer can talk in a language that a biologist, a humanist, and a psychologist can understand, it helps forge cross-disciplinary connections, Sturge-Apple says. "We can begin to see how the research in one corner of academia may inform that in another corner. It's synergistic. This is how new discoveries are made and new scientific pursuits are born."
Sturge-Apple says the event is particularly timely "against the backdrop of remembering and honoring all that Louise Slaughter stood for as the only microbiologist in Congress. Because she was a scientist, she understood the value of academic research and scholarship and how it could inform policy."
"I can promise that attendees at the Three Minute Thesis will come away with a wealth of new information about the corners of academia they may have never known existed."
The competition is sponsored by the School of Medicine and Dentistry Center for Professional Development; the Arts, Science & Engineering Graduate Studies Office; the Graduate Student Society (School of Medicine and Dentistry); and the Graduate Student Association (AS&E).

How is your idea unique? (1,000 characters)This idea is different from similar activities from two perspectives. Frist, it targets local CSOs and promote their role on building peace and planet. Second, it opens the doors of innovation and brilliant ideas from local perspective (bottom up thinking). The unique advantages is that the idea will implemented in conflict zone area where it will contribute on decreasing the social tension and bring the people to a common demand "peace" and common concern "planet". The idea is unique by itself and we think that there is a limitation of similar ideas in such context.

A few months ago, I enrolled in an intermediate photography class in a Filipino institute in Dubai. It was a 6-week course handled by a multi-awarded photographer who won different international photography competitions and also featured his works in different places.
These are photography things I learned, and I realized over time. The points I mentioned below are the things I keep in mind to improve my skills.
Why did I share this?
I shared this stuff because when I browse the web and watch video tutorials, they teach you most about the technical things in photography, but I think after knowing the technical side of photography, there are more non-technical things that I need to understand.
1. Quality Over Quantity
Quality is one of the things I always think about before and after I take pictures. Quality over quantity. In photography means that you should carefully choose your best photos instead of delivering or uploading a ton of crappy images.
In this digital age, you can take as many photos as you want, but in the sorting and post-processing of your photos, you only choose photos that 1. Tells a story, 2. The right composition, 3. Sharp and clear.
2. Practice. Practice. Practice
The method applies to different skills you want to learn. In photography, even professional photographers still practice their photography skills. For beginners and amateurs, if you already have a DSLR or mirrorless camera, you can always shoot anything and everything around your space. It's either knowing your camera settings, practicing the manual mode, understanding the lights, or trying new compositions.
There is no limit on using your camera; you are the limit of your own. You can always bring your camera wherever you go and start taking photos. If you want to pursue this as a career or a hobby, you will always find a way to shoot.
3. It is a Continuous Learning Process
In addition to doing a lot of practice, photography is a continuous learning process. What I mean is, we know you can master the manual settings, but that's not everything about photography. It is about creativity, styles, storytelling, lightings, and more and these things change over time.
Along the way, you will meet different photographers. You will learn from them about their gears, their styles, and post-processing techniques that you can add to your style. You will also realize that photography is not just a hobby or career anymore; it is a community where you can have fun, be on an adventure and always learn from others.
4. Plan Before a Photoshoot
Better be ready for every photoshoot you are going to. Make sure all your batteries are fully charged, bring extra batteries, extra memory cards, flashes, strobe lights, stands, and all other equipment to be ready.
If you're going to a photoshoot in different locations, it is best to scout the places first so you have an idea of what will be the outcome of the photoshoot. Or if the areas are too far, research on the internet. It will consume less time during the actual photoshoot. For the outdoor shoot, make sure that the weather will be beautiful on that day.
If you're in a bad mood or not feeling well, it's either you do not shoot at all, or you set aside the negative thoughts. Having negative thoughts will affect the outcome of the photoshoot.
The last thing is always making a plan. Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C so everything will go smoothly.
5. Accept Criticism
Accept criticism only if the one who will criticize your work has far experience in Photography. Allowing someone to criticize your work will help you know what the things you should avoid and improve over time are. You will also have an idea of what a good photograph should be.
6. Find Your Style
Every photographer is different. They have their style of process. As I start learning photography, what I do is I always look at experienced photographer's work and try to use their method as an inspiration and to incorporate into my style. By following different photographers, it helped me expand my creativity and explore things when I take photos.
7. Outside is Free
If you can't find interesting things to take a picture around you, go out. Go to your streets. The streets are free; you can make real stories from there. It's another exercise for your creativity and skills. You can try different compositions, practice how fast you can change settings on your camera, or capture compelling stories you want to show.
Street photography tips from my teacher:
- Find a good spot and wait for something interesting to happen
- Avoid shooting on eye level
- Avoid shooting in mid-day, shoot during sunrise or sunset
- Check if the photo you took if it is better in black and white
8. Think Out of the Box
Photography is about making simple things look better in photos. Always be creative. Find inspirations on Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook. Follow other photographers you look-up and be inspired.
My teacher told us to avoid shooting at eye level. You can either shoot low or shoot high. Always find the angle where your subject will look interesting in the photo. Add elements relevant to your subject and story you are showing.
9. Your Camera is Just a Tool
During our class session, our teacher, of course, requires us to use a DSLR or mirrorless camera and at least the lens that came with your camera. I was wondering "why should we use the kit lens, it is not a good lens." Then he showed us some photos of his previous class which is shot using the kit lens. In my mind, I was saying "wow those are some good photos!" Then I realized that it is not about what camera or lens you use. It is how creative you can be.
You will come to the point where you will realize that you have reached the limitation of your lens and seek for a different perspective, a different style, and better quality of photos then you are now ready for your next upgrade.
10. Always Tell a Story
Telling a story in photography is one of the most crucial things you need to show to your audience. The lightings, backgrounds, props, location, and other elements you put on your photos will always tell a story.
The things I mentioned above can be your guide if you are starting photography. These are some key points I always keep in mind as an amateur photographer to achieve better photos. Always remember, Photography is not all about the technical stuff.
Do you want to add some key points here? Am I right or wrong? You can share your thoughts below.

current listening 04/07/12
Van Morrison: A Period of Transition (1977) – Dismissed by many as Morrison's most uneven album of the '70s, Transition boasts the proud sound of a master songsmith rediscovering his blues and soul roots. Co-produced by the tireless Mac Rebennack (Dr. John), the fun shifts from the serene R&B meditation The Eternal Kansas City to two of the most unabashedly cheery nuggets in the entire Morrison canon – Joyous Sound and Flamingos Fly.
Merle Travis: Strictly Guitar (1968) – Listen to the immaculately sunny tone and patient lyrical charm on the all-instrumental Strictly Guitar and you can't help but wonder what in God's name happened to country music over the past four-plus decades. Though short on running time (under 25 minutes), this set of '20s and '30s-era staples (highlighted by a summery Dance of the Goldenrods and its unexpectedly treacherous rhythmic turns) overwhelms with unforced picking brilliance.
Bill Frisell: Ghost Town (2000) – A guitarist of an altogether different color and style, Frisell goes it alone on Ghost Town, creating a panoramic Americana portrait that weaves fascinating original works (Tell You Ma, Tell Your Pa) with classics by Hank Williams (I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry) and John McLaughlin (Follow Your Heart). Frisell's wiry electric vocabulary is augmented by acoustic guitar and banjo for a sound as earthy as it is ghostly.
Chuck Mead and his Grassy Knoll Boys: Back at the Quonset Hut (2012) – BR549 cofounder Mead takes his newest retro country outfit to Nashville's famed Quonset Hut studio with a few celebrity pals for a seriously cool tribute album where the repertoire (the overlooked George Jones hit You Better Treat Your Man Right with a stoic Jamey Johnson singing harmony) is as cool as the delivery (the red hot rockabilly of the Johnny Horton gem Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor).
U.K.: U.K. (1978) – No, this isn't the by-product of Wildcat Fever, but rather the self-titled debut album by the all-star prog-rock combo of Bill Bruford, Eddie Jobson, Allan Holdsworth and John Wetton. Though dated, especially in some of Jobson's more languid keyboard passages, much of the playing is captivating, including Holdsworth's exquisitely paced guitar solo during In the Dead of Night. Bruford and Holdsworth bolted after this record, leaving U.K. as a pre-Asia pop brigade.

The other day I had a ripe avocado and I didn't know what to do with it. So naturally, I made a tuna melt. That may seem a little random, but I assure you, it made complete sense to me at the time. Especially since it was lunch time and I also had a can of tuna in the pantry. I've been a big fan of mixing my tuna fish with avocado recently. It makes it nice and creamy and you don't have to use mayonnaise. So I mashed my tuna with my avocado, added a little seasoning, toasted it on an english muffin with some cheese and voila…tuna melt!
Start by placing your tuna fish and avocado in a bowl. Using a fork, mash it together. Add garlic salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (for a little heat).
Add chopped onions.
Spread on an english muffin. Top with cheese.
Place into toaster oven and broil until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
1 ripe avocado
1 can chunk light tuna in water
2 Tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 english muffin
2 slices provolone cheese
In a small bowl, mash avocado and drained tuna fish. Add garlic salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix to combine. Add chopped onion. Spread tuna mixture on english muffin. Top with provolone cheese and broil in toaster oven until cheese is melted.
