University of Iowa students enrolled in a course titled Film/Video Production: Nonfiction, led by Anna Swanson in the Department of Cinematic Arts, completed five RC&D Partnership projects during the spring 2016 semester. Swanson worked with the Office of Outreach & Engagement's RC&D Partnership Program and Pathfinders RC&D to develop videos focused on different community assets and programs in the Pathfinders region. The students began the semester with a class visit from the Office of Outreach & Engagement and Pathfinders RC&D staff, where they learned about their projects and why they would be important to the partnering communities.
The students completed the Pathfinders Portrait Video first, familiarizing themselves with the mission and focus of Pathfinders RC&D. The students split into groups during the second half of the semester to create the remaining films, in which Pathfinders RC&D involved several additional community partners. Throughout the semester, Swanson and her students completed 11 trips to communities in Southeast Iowa to capture footage for the following videos.
Pathfinders Portrait
The students captured the unique history, purpose, achievements, and current projects of Pathfinders RC&D in a video that the organization will use to share their story with partners, potential funders, and the general public. Community partners for this video included Pathfinders RC&D.
Iowan Grass Fed
This video highlights the benefits of grass-fed beef from the perspective of Lipes Family Farm, a small, diversified family farm specializing in pastured meats and eggs. Community partners for this video included Pathfinders RC&D and Lipes Family Farm.
A Small Town's Secret
This video examines the economic impact that the American Gothic House Center has had on the town of Eldon, Iowa through interviews with local community members. Community partners for this video included Pathfinders RC&D and American Gothic House Center.
This Land
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Mines and Minerals Bureau is responsible for reclaiming "abandoned mine lands" in Iowa. In this video, landowners from Southeast Iowa speak on the condition of their previously mined land and the experience of having it reclaimed. Community partners for this video included Pathfinders RC&D and the Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Mines and Mineral Bureau.
Passing Tradition
Family farmers demonstrate their pride and share traditions passed down to them from generation to generation in this video that tells the story of the sacrifice that is often made to carry on a farm family tradition, to be good stewards of the land, and to help feed the world. This video precedes a public art project to be erected in Keosauqua, Iowa during the summer of 2016 as a tribute to the Van Buren County Farmer. Community partners for this video included Villages Folk School of Van Buren County and Pathfinders RC&D.
The semester ended with a film showing of the five completed projects in Eldon, Iowa at the McHaffey Opera House. The student filmmakers held a panel discussion to answer questions about their filmmaking process, as well as what they learned from engaging with southeast Iowa communities to complete their course projects. Several community members who participated in the projects attended the event to see the completed videos, and provide their own comments on their involvement in the video projects.
Continuing her work with the Office of Outreach & Engagement's RC&D Partnership program this summer, Swanson is partnering with Southern Iowa RC&D to complete a local foods project. Swanson will film a farmer in their journey from planting to harvesting to selling at the Creston Farmers' Market throughout the summer. The video will aim to help grow and promote farmers' markets in Southern Iowa by showing consumers and farmers in the seven-county Southern Iowa RC&D region the vibrancy of local agriculture and farmers markets. The video will also seek to show local growers the wealth of possibilities offered by direct-to-consumer marketing and farmers' markets. Stay tuned for the final video which will be completed late this summer.

As a small presentation of Phidgets RFID at work, I implemented a very basic version of Stone-Scissor-Paper game. I taped RFID tags to a stone, a scissor and a piece of paper, and had it running in fullscreen kiosk-mode with only a monitor and the Phidget RFID reader as UI.
In kiosk-mode, a RFID tag is used for exiting the application. The sourcecode attached here will use ESC key instead of this tag. Defines to toggle support for fullscreen mode and ESC key can be found at line 34-35 of RFID-game.h
To actually have some use of this application, you need the PhidgetRFID (1023) and at least 3 RFID tags (4 to run in kiosk-mode).
To compile it, first do a "sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev" (I think this should be enough..). Then just type "make"
Attach PhidgetRFID, start the application by typing "./RFID-game", and initialize the application by placing the given RFID tags near the reader. After initializing, place either stone, scissor or paper RFID tag near the reader to place your bet. Computer will make its bet, and result is shown on screen.

The source code can also give you hints on how to use Phidgets in a C++ environment, and how to combine Phidgets and SDL.

If You Are Not Drinking With Us, You Are Drinking Against Us
My cousin Josef says this old Communist saying to me one evening in Dolny Kubin, Slovakia as we sit around the table enjoying a fine bottle of Bordeaux and a 20 year old bottle of prized brandy, and I am declining the next round of drinks. We all laugh, and for the sake of family solidarity I accept, and we continue talking in English and Slovak, usually about food, and with the occasional stray French or Spanish word accidentally thrown in.
Over the past 72 years since my grandparents fled their Slovak village in anticipation of the arrival of Hitler, we have maintained close connections with family left behind, even across oceans, over language barriers, through generations and despite Communism.
During World War II, communication was maintained through letters. In re-reading them, I am struck by how similar my great grandparents lives were to mine: in one letter, my great grandmother Marisa is writing to her son, my grandfather, Jerry, who is then living in Canada, saying that she has torn the house apart searching for a particular cookbook that he has requested she send him, by Sandtnerka, which was the book on Czech and Slovak cooking back in the 1920's. She writes on about butter rolls and other recipes. Even then, we seemed to communicate mainly about food. She must have found the book, because we have discovered the letter tucked inside the pages of my grandmother's well used copy of it.
By the 1960's, travel back to Europe had resumed. Jerry was the first to return. A great uncle who now lives in Vienna, Branko, tells me that he remembers that Jerry had business in Belgrade, and that he came to dinner at his aunt Karolina's house in Stara Pazova in 1961, and that they feasted on roast goose. Again, we remember the food.
Jerry felt it was important for his 5 kids to see where they had come from, and so one or two at a time, they began to go to Europe over the next decade. The first to make the trip were the two youngest, Lily and Ruth, in 1966. Ruth was still in high school, and Lily had just finished her first year of university. They flew to England, met up with their sister in law, Paddy, and a friend, rented a car, and then the four of them drove to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Lily, Ruth and their three siblings grew up speaking Slovak at home, so language was not a barrier for them. However, Jerry did give one piece of advice to Lily: keep your mouth shut (if you know Lily, you know why).
Lily remembers crossing the border from Austria into Czechoslovakia with armed guards, high barbed wire fences, watch towers and machine guns pointing at them. The road to Dolny Kubin was largely unpaved, and during the rough drive they managed to puncture the gas tank. The girls chewed their gum furiously and used it to plug the hole until the arrived at their destination.
When they got to Dolny Kubin, they stayed with Teta (Aunt) Gita, Marisa's sister, and her husband Strýko (Uncle) Daniel, who assisted with the car repairs. At the time, most people maintained their own cars, if they even had one. Daniel was one of the more powerful men in town, even in the era of "we are all equal" Communism. Late one night he and Lily drove the car to a state-run repair shop down a dark road with the lights turned off; Lily was thrilled at the excitement of this illegal rendezvous. The gas tank hole was welded together with something a little stronger than chewing gum, and Lily paid the repair bill with a carton of Canadian cigarettes and a jar of Nescafe coffee.
The four girls traveled next to Pivnice in Yugoslavia, where they stayed in our great uncle Stefan Shuster's house, with no running water. Each night, they would crowd around the well in the middle of the courtyard and brush their teeth with the well water. Following great Uncle Stefan's lead, they would then take a shot of slibowitz. At first Lily says it was like drinking fire water, but by the end of the trip they were slinging it back like native Slovaks.
Next to visit was Milan, who happened to be there in 1968 when the revolution occurred while staying with Uncle Andy in Bratislava. As the Russian tanks rolled, Andy managed to smuggle Milan across the bridge to Austria in the middle of the night, to safety and freedom.
My parents, Jerry and Joy, visited in 1969. They stayed with Uncle Andy too, who lived in one of the infamous Communist-built austere, grey cement block buildings, as most of my relatives did in Czechoslovakia during the 50 years under the Communist regime. It was a five story walk up, and the hot water wasn't working, as was the case in every visit thereafter. On Saturday morning during their visit, a loud horn blew and then a crackling speaker blared out over the city, ordering all citizens to do their "volunteer duty", called "Saturdayings." Robotically, everyone in the apartment complex would walk down the flight of stairs, along the side of the road and across the street to the fields where rotting potatoes lay. Their volunteer job for the day was to pick the potatoes that the state workers during the week had not managed to pick while still edible.
More visits ensued over the 1970's, and in 1986 my brothers went with my dad and grandmother. For some dumb reason, I did not go; a silly job held me back, I think. By this time, Gita and Daniel had died, and another generation was marrying and having children. My brothers Tyler and Tory remember going from house to house visiting, and each time a huge spread of freshly made food was laid out for them. They were obliged to eat and eat, to show their respect to the family they say. My brothers and I have not learned to speak Slovak (yet), although we have heard it spoken at home amongst my father's family, and we know several words and key phrases. Having my father as translator made the trip easy.
When communism ended in 1989, the trips began overseas in the reverse, despite the difficulty and time consuming effort to get travel visas. Young cousins George, Michelle, Martina and Michael began to visit my father and other relatives in Canada, sightseeing in Toronto and Niagara Falls and being fed bountiful meals that included the homemade sausage of my dad's, a Slovak recipe he has perfected over the decades. The seeds of capitalism were laid.
I haven't made the trip to Slovakia and the former Yugoslavia myself until now, and of course capitalism has reigned supreme for the past 20 years. The family ties are still as strong; close bonds between second, third and fourth cousins are formed instantly among people I have never met, and who until now have only known one another through pictures. We have fun trying to figure out the family tree and how exactly we are related. I barely speak Slovak, and I have my Aunt Lily with me to help translate. And by now, many of my relatives speak English, especially the teenagers.
Even several generations from our great grandparents, we still talk mainly about food (and drink), although the topics of capitalism and communism are now freely discussed as well, and the younger generations have moved out of the grey buildings and into beautiful new homes they have bought with their hard earned cash.
I finally get to try the Slovak cheese I have heard so much about, bryndza, and we dive into platefuls of decadent palacinky and tasty bowls of soup, sample the delectable smoked and braided sheep cheeses, drink cup after cup of Turkish coffee, and revel in the endless bounty of potato and pork dishes. I'll drink to that.

After having held the reins of the high school guidance department for 19 years, Michael "Mike" McCarthy is set to release them this June.
Mr. McCarthy began working as a guidance counselor at the Edgartown School in 1976 and a year later became the athletic director at the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS). In 1981, he left the Vineyard to work at Edwin O. Smith High School in Storrs, Connecticut, but then returned to the Vineyard in 1998 to take the high school guidance director position.
"Being able to work closely with so many talented, interesting students has been the highlight of my career," Mr. McCarthy said. "I have been blessed to work in two school systems that totally support education, giving us the tools to work effectively with our students. Over the years, I have learned as much from the students as I have been able to share with them."
Mr. McCarthy has been influential in starting many programs for the school that encourage discussions about peer relationships. He helped, for instance, to bring the Race Culture Retreat to the school, which has been going on for over a decade. He also was a key leader in starting the Peer Outreach program with Amy Lilavois in 2005.
"Mike has the strongest trust and confidence in each member of our department, and we can feel that every day," Amy said. "He doesn't always hover or check to make sure we're doing what we should be doing—sometimes we're so busy that days will go by without seeing each other—but then he'll pop into my office, close the door and sit down, eat a few Tootsie rolls, check in and chat, not just about work, but about life. He's interested in our lives not because we're his staff, but because he cares so deeply about each of us on a personal level," she said.
Audrey McCarron, a junior, knows she will feel the gap Mr. McCarthy will leave. She said, "Throughout my high school experience Mr. McCarthy has done a lot for me. Whether he is helping me change my schedule—it's more complicated than you'd think—or helping me plan my future after high school, I am thankful for everything he's done for me,because I could not have done it alone. Mr. McCarthy is someone who is always there to help and is a friendly face in the building. His experience and years of insight into this school will be missed."
Whitney Schroeder, a senior, has had Mr. McCarthy as a counselor since sophomore year. "I have definitely enjoyed having him as a guidance counselor. His first-hand experience is unmatched. He is compassionate and highly approachable, and I have gotten to know him better through the connections he makes to his own experiences to help me better understand the school and the world around me."
Whitney, who will be going to Harvard University in the fall, gives much thanks to Mr. McCarthy for navigating her through the often exhausting college application process. "He built me up, gave me confidence, and took the majority of the stress away from the application process. It was inspiring to realize that someone could have that much faith in me," she said.
With so much to leave behind, the transition to retirement will not be easy. "It's hard to imagine life without the daily interaction with students and the support of the caring, professional staff in the guidance office, the teachers, and the school community. While helping others can be quite challenging at times, the reward is like no other," Mr. McCarthy said.
While he will miss the students, Mr. McCarthy is content to leave the stress behind. "Over the years, I am sure that I have had a number of sleep-interrupted nights, but with experience I have learned to compartmentalize my work and my personal life. That does not mean I was perfect at it. Working in two rural, small communities I grew to appreciate the personalization you develop in your professional and personal life," he said.
Having spent 41 years in education, Mr. McCarthy is ready for the next chapter in his life, as he retires alongside his wife Susan. He said, "My wife and I are looking forward to having more quality time with our family. Life is full of transitions. We have enjoyed experiencing our own children going through their lives. This is just another opportunity for us to grow and move forward."

Massive Beauty Purge Project: Mascara
I know I was pretty absent for the past two months with all of the family stuff going on, but I didn't want to abandon the beauty purge series, since you guys enjoyed the previous posts so much. I finally managed to round up all of my mascaras, and a lot of them were due for a toss. I didn't think I had all that many, but once I started pulling them out of the drawers and makeup bags, all of a sudden there were 20 tubes sitting in front of me. How did that happen, haha?! 🙂 View Post

WKU graduate student presents research at Arctic Circle Assembly
- Author: Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies
- Author: Wednesday, November 14th, 2018
WKU graduate student Jason Fox traveled to Iceland recently to present at the Arctic Circle Assembly and to complete thesis research at sites along Iceland's southern coast, including Valahnúkamöl near the Reykjanes Lighthouse.
Jason Fox of Russellville, a graduate student in the WKU Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies (CHNGES) and Department of Geography and Geology, recently traveled to Iceland to present at the annual Arctic Circle Assembly conference and to complete thesis research along Iceland's southern coast evaluating the environmental impact of tourism activity and development at climate-vulnerable natural attractions.
The Arctic Circle Assembly, held Oct. 19-21 in Reykjavik, is the largest annual forum for international dialogue on Arctic issues, science and political discourse. The Assembly brought together delegation from across the globe, including the eight Arctic states, the European Union and the East Asian states of China, South Korea and Japan. The Assembly convened just after a new United Nations climate report sounded a grave warning of the oncoming global consequences of a warming climate, and the Arctic region and its peoples will be among the first to bear the brunt of these effects. Climate change also brings economic potential to the Arctic as the Northern Sea Route, historically restricted by ice, is now open to trading ships as a shorter route for international commerce between Asia, Europe and North America. Keynote speakers at the Assembly discussed their country's commitments to further Arctic research and to cooperate with other nations concerning utilization of the Northern Sea Route.
Fox presented his own research at the Assembly, sharing the results of his recently completed WKU Honors thesis for the first time to the scientific community and other Arctic stakeholders. Fox discussed his recent choral composition, Icelandic Sketches: Stories of Climate, Tourism, and Change, premiered by the WKU Chorale in Spring 2018, and the research behind the piece. The music depicted multiple narratives of climate change and tourism in Iceland, and the corresponding surveys of the singers and audience members provided some of the scientific literature's first data-backed evidence demonstrating music's ability to serve as a platform for environmental communication.
After the Assembly concluded, Fox headed for the southern coast of Iceland to complete a portion of his ongoing graduate thesis research. Accompanied by research assistant and recent WKU alumna Sydney Herndon, Fox completed 13 applications of his new environmental index designed to evaluate the severity of tourism's environmental impacts at water-based tourism sites in cold-climate regions. The index was applied at a variety of sites, including glacial lagoons, waterfalls, and beaches. Fox will use the results of these applications to improve the design of the index, which he hopes will serve as a useful management and research tool for minimizing and mitigating tourism's environmental footprint. Such a tool is highly important as many cold-climate regions like Iceland and the broader Arctic witness record numbers of yearly visitors while also facing the magnified effects of climate change, leaving landscapes vulnerable to both natural and man-made change.
"It is so exciting to have Jason share his research with colleagues at the Arctic Circle meeting," said Dr. Leslie North, Assistant Professor of Environmental Geoscience and faculty advisor for Fox. "This assembly brings together a large community of public officials, scholars, industry representatives and students to discuss one of the most pressing environmental issues of modern time. It was an honor for all of us to have Jason's work invited to the Moving Forward by Learning from Each Other breakout session and panel discussion. And, to follow-up a great meeting with the initiation of his next exciting project was icing on the cake. I can't wait to see what comes next."
Dr. Fred Siewers, Chair of the Department of Geography and Geology, added: "The work Jason Fox is doing in Iceland is excellent and impressive. His presentation at the Arctic Circle meeting, his invited participation in a break out session at the meeting, and his continued field research all add to Jason's record of accomplishment and the excellent work being done in the Department's CHNGES Center."

Well I've narrowed the camp search down to three. My only concern is the travel time is a solid 3 hrs to get to warren Co. from my house. I have another opportunity at a place in Ligonier westmoreland Co that's only one hour away, but its just something about being up north that draws me....So, how far do you travel to get to camp, and how often do you go?

Next morning I have to start my drive south to Berat, my final destination. I therefore do not get to see a lot of Tirana. I have breakfast on the 16th floor of the hotel and I get a great view of the surroundings.
Tirana is amid small mountains, green and luscious with vegetation. It is not the tropics but located at about 40° north is not the barren stones of Iceland or the pine tree forests of Northern Europe. There are signs that the Mediterranean is close by, represented by the Adriatic.

My Top 5 Games of 2013
New year, new systems, and new games! 2013 had a lot of gems to lead us into the next generation. Let's take a look at what five games had what it took to float my Jackdaw.

We are amidst a tiresome spell of dreary winter weather, here in New Hampshire. A "blocking pattern" has us stuck in a spell of persistent cold. It would be easy to get depressed. I often look about our frozen wasteland and think how far we have fallen from the Garden of Eden, and also think that anyone who isn't depressed is denying reality and has serious problems.
The trick to surviving in Northern lands involves using the second greatest gift God gave to man. The greatest gift is Love, without which people wither and die on a regular basis, but the next best gift is humor. Just as Love is a mystery, it is a mystery to me how people can laugh when winter gets old, and its novelty is long gone.
Every wintery morning, at my Childcare, I do my best to be cheerful amidst the break-up of a family. The mother or father must go onwards to slave at a job, leaving the loved one behind.
Goodbyes are seldom happy, but the parting of a parent and child are particularly anguishing to witness, because there is something very unnatural about it. It is very Un-American, when you think of how the Family Farm built America, and of how, on a Family Farm, neither the mother nor father ever went away to work. However, for the time being, we are stuck with our "modern" situation, (until we can figure out how to allow mothers and fathers to work at home more.) So my days start with a grievous situation, with children who are not ashamed to express their grief, and with parents who always look guilty. (When the parents do a great job, and help the child adjust so well that the child rushes off to play without tears, then it is the parents who look a bit forlorn, and forgotten.)
In other words, a morning, which should be the optimistic springboard to a new day, becomes mourning.
Fortunately the sun is peeking over the hill a little earlier, with each passing day, and a ray of hope is just starting to beam upon our gloomy scene, or that was the case until some idiot in Washington decided to snuff out the sunbeam, and plunge the scene back into midwinter darkness.
I am referring, of course, to the idiot who decided clocks should "spring ahead" not in April, but in March.
The entire idea of "Daylight Savings Time" was stupid to begin with, because the chickens lay eggs, and the rooster crows, and the goats expect to be milked, and the dog and cat want to be fed, all at "Standard Time," and, in fact, the only creatures in all of creation expected to be deranged by Washington's dumb idea are: Humans.
It is the worst possible time to stress people, and rob them of an hour of sleep. By March, in the north, creatures are at their weakest. The coyote lopes lean and savage, and now dares desperate deeds in the centers of towns. The deer are gaunt. Even the hibernating bear and woodchuck are growing thin and fat-free, in their dark dens. In the warm stables the barnyard animals are tired and crabby and are far more prone to fall ill. And people are living creatures as well. By March they need any break they can get.
I have listened to the rational for Daylight Savings Time, pretending to smile, and nodding as if interested, but to me the time-change just seems a typical bit of Washington humbug. They are always going on about how helpful it is to rob people, but they don't dare do it when people are strong and hale. It is only when people are at their weakest, after surviving a long winter, that they dare rob people of an hour of sleep, with Daylight Savings Time, (and also rob people of the little money they have left, with taxes.)
Washington just adds to the misery that is March. Their insensitivity is especially annoying because people are a bit broker this year, because some Washington fool decided fossil fuel was evil and we'd all be better off if it cost us more, because…because…um…well, it has something to do with the world getting nice and warm, if we use fossil fuels.
Global Warming sounds very comfy, in March in New Hampshire, especially when people can't turn up the heat because heating costs are up. Therefore, when the blocking pattern sets in, and the wind will not budge from the cold north, the last thing people want to hear is that the planet is getting colder.
Well, it is. The entire idea of Global Warming was and is bunkum, and an amazing fraud. It was nothing more than an attempt on the part of fat cats in Washington to rob you, so they might have more money to play with, and even more amazing is the fact they (so far) have succeeded. They are, in essence, now taxing people for the warmth in their homes, at the very time the planet chills.
The first graph above shows that the average temperature, at the surface of the earth, dropped from a half degree above "normal" to two tenths of a degree above "normal," between last January and last February.
If you have a shred of common sense, you should be inclined to respond to that news by muttering, "Big deal." After all, what is three tenths of a degree? If your normal temperature is 98.6, and you take your temperature and see it is 98.9, are you hugely alarmed?
It is not the weather-wise farmers like me who are getting hysterical about a few tenths of a degree. Rather it is those who want to sell Carbon Credits, which is why they are called "Alarmists." Their entire livelihood depends on you buying into the idea "The planet has a fever." In the movie, "The Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore had to use the prop of a wicked big erector-machine to lift him and his pointing stick, beside a huge, blown-up version of Michael Mann's (debunked) "Hockey Stick" graph, in order to make a big deal about…. a few tenths of a degree.
Well, if they are going to play by those rules, an old farmer like me can play along, and point out the planet cooled by three tenths of a degree in only thirty days. Horrors! The sky is falling!
Next I should draw a scientific-seeming "trend line," extending the three-tenths-of-a-degree-per-month drop, month after month into the future, and then screech the imaginary line I have drawn proves we'll all be frozen solid at "the end of this century." I mean, if Alarmists can panic about a forecast for a day in the year 2099 which even my grandchildren are unlikely to live long enough to see, then so can I.
However I only play along because I have a sense of humor. In actual fact, when we first awake in the morning, and feel sluggish, our body temperature can be as low as 97.0, and then, when we are worn out at day's end, and require sleep because our thinking is all hot and bothered, our body temperature can be around 99.0. (Try testing your own body, with a thermometer, if you don't believe me.) In other words, our own body varies as much as twenty tenths of a degree in a given day, when we are perfectly healthy. Yet we are suppose to get all worried because the heavenly body called "Earth" varies a few tenths of a degree over decades?
I include the second graph, (which Ryan Maue of WeatherBELL produced, using government data from spreadsheets which are unintelligible to most of us,) to show how the temperature of our home planet varies on a daily and even hourly basis, just as our own bodies do. For example, last month temperatures crashed from four tenths of a degree above "normal" to nearly four tenths of a degree below "normal," but have since rebounded to two tenths of a degree above "normal."
If you want to get political about such normal, natural, and absurdly trivial data, then you can behave like some Alarmists I've had contact with. When the temperature spikes they adopt a peacock strut and told-you-so attitude, assuming they have proof Global Warming is real, and that we're all doomed and our world is going to broil, however when the temperature plummets their pet theory goes down in flames, their shoulders slump, and they adopt a garlic face. (I can never figure out why they are so unhappy to see we're not doomed and won't broil.)
The fact of the matter is that tenths of a degree don't matter one hill of beans, (unless, of course, you are greedy for other people's money, and hunger to invent a new "Carbon Tax" to pick their pockets with.)
What matters much more than temperatures rising and falling a tiny amount, (an amount you can't even notice on your back porch thermometer,) is: Real people living real lives.
This morning the forecast was for "a 20% chance of scattered snow showers," but flakes fell thickly, riding cruel, cutting gusts from the northeast. In an hour the northeast side of every tree, fencepost, and structure was plastered with vivid white glue, as the other sides looked dark and thawed. The whipping wind and sticky snow added insult to injury. This time of year is hard enough to get through, without extras.
I had to hurry out to sweep and salt the front walk, so swiftly did the "snow shower" paint the world white, and I expected the parents and children arriving at my Childcare to be especially sour, however quite the opposite was true.
Sometimes, when you add insult to injury, people laugh. At times the absurdity of life causes people to stop taking things so seriously.
Or so I concluded, when parent after parent and child after child came down the walkway, through rotten weather, and entered my Childcare glowing, smiling, and making me laugh with their jokes.
I simply had to shake my head. Spring may come late, in terms of statistics, and in terms of the white world I see out my window, but I have been warmed already by a Spring within the human spirit which I failed to forecast.

Critics' Choice Awards: 5 Takeaways as Oscar Nom Voting Comes to a Close
I've now had a chance to sleep on the results of the 23rd annual Critics' Choice Awards, which were held Thursday night (and which I voted for as a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association and Broadcast Television Journalists Association). These are my five biggest takeaways, with the close of Oscar nomination voting just hours away.
* * *
1. Guillermo del Toro is going to be hard to beat in the best director race.
It is far from assured that The Shape of Water, which won best picture honors at the Critics' Choice Awards, will do the same at the Oscars, since the Oscars employ a preferential ballot, which the Critics' Choice Awards do not, and that can affect things a lot. But what is looking clearer and clearer to me is that the community loves Shape of Water's director, del Toro, who has won a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award in a matter of five days and was greeted with great enthusiasm, from voters and his peers, on both occasions. He's a character, with the profile of Hitchcock and the passion of Tarantino. He's a charmer, and everyone from journalists to Academy members talk about what a lovely guy he is and how much they hope he wins. And he's a master filmmaker, which even people who aren't enamored with his film readily acknowledge. Should he bag the best director Oscar, del Toro will be its fourth Mexican winner in the last five years, with all four wins spread among "The Three Amigos" (Alfonso Cuaron won for Gravity in 2014 and Alejandro G. Inarritu won for Birdman in 2015 and The Revenant in 2016). Dunkirk's Christopher Nolan, who seemed to occupy the pole position heading into this week, had better up his glad-handing game during phase two, or this category could slip away from him very quickly.
2. It's time to start worrying about The Post.
Even with the star power of Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, as well as a storyline that is an implicit rebuke of President Donald Trump, this drama was shut out at the Golden Globes (0 for 6) and the Critics' Choice Awards (0 for 8). The fact that it couldn't even make a dent with groups of journalists suggests it's going to have a very hard time elsewhere — to the point that I'm starting to worry about Spielberg, Streep and Hanks even landing Oscar nominations. (Spielberg, it must be noted, was not among the DGA Award nominees on Thursday.) In fairness, this week The Post did pick up best picture, best actor and best actress prizes at the National Board of Review Awards; Streep taped a video in which she heaped praise on Hanks and expressed disbelief that he hasn't received an Oscar nom in 17 years; and Hanks guested on my podcast — all signs of life for the film. But it certainly appears to be on shaky ground.
3. James Franco is getting slammed — but will probably still get nominated for an Oscar.
This week — the very week when Oscar voters were filling out and turning in their ballots — has been the best of weeks and the worst of weeks for the director and star of The Disaster Artist. He won best comedy actor Golden Globe and Critics' Choice awards — a one-two punch that would normally suggest that someone is a slam-dunk for a best actor Oscar nom — but he also got raked over the coals on multiple late-night talk shows en route to the Los Angeles Times publishing an exposé that alleges he is yet another Hollywood perpetrator of sexual misconduct. Many could not believe that Franco won the Critics' Choice Award in the wake of the Times story, but the reality is that voters had not seen the Times story prior to the close of voting on Tuesday night, so Franco's offscreen conduct wasn't a consideration for many. While Oscar voting has continued after the publication of that piece, I'm skeptical that a significant number of voters have encountered or processed the news, or that a significant number of those who have will change their voting plans as a result. So, in what will surely provoke this year's version of #OscarsSoWhite outrage, I expect that Franco will still land a best actor Oscar nom on Jan. 23.
4. Don't count out Wonder Woman.
The more I talk to Academy members, the more I hear rumblings about this summer's biggest hit — if not because it's a cinematic work of art, then because no movie better captures this new era of female empowerment. Beyond that, there is a massive amount of affection in the community for its director, Patty Jenkins, and its leading lady, Gal Gadot — the latter is currently the biggest movie star in the world — who have been at as many awards ceremonies as anyone this year. In the past week, Jenkins and Gadot attended the AFI Awards, where their film was recognized as one of 2017's 10 best, and where Jenkins, an AFI alum, received a shout-out from AFI's head honcho, Bob Gazzale, and was invited to offer the closing benediction; then Gadot presented at the Golden Globes; then Jenkins and Gadot jetted to New York to accept the National Board of Review's Spotlight Award; and then both came back to L.A. to attend the Critics' Choice Awards, where the film was awarded best action movie and Gadot accepted the pre-announced #SeeHer honor, prompting one of the few standing ovations of the night. I'm not sure if/where all of this love will manifest itself in the Oscar nominations, but an Academy member with whom I had breakfast this morning thinks that the directors branch may include Jenkins (emphasizing that the DGA, with 17,000-plus voters, is a very different group from the Academy's directors branch, which has just 512), and that the film may sneak into the best picture category, too. I'd feel better about the prospects of the latter if the Academy hadn't stepped away from the very policy — a guaranteed 10 best picture nominees — that it created, in the wake of The Dark Knight's snub in 2009, as part of an effort to include this sort of popular movie. Instead, we could end up with as few as five nominees, which is better than 10 for absolutely no one.
5. In the Fade steps into the spotlight.
Among the many Golden Globe winners that repeated at the Critics' Choice Awards were del Toro, Franco, Darkest Hour's Gary Oldman, Three Billboards' Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell, I, Tonya's Allison Janney, Coco, Shape of Water composer Alexandre Desplat and, last but not least, German film In the Fade. The Academy is in the process of winnowing its shortlist of nine foreign-language films to a final list of five nominees. In the Fade is on the longlist, and I am fairly confident that the Academy noticed how much the rest of the community likes Fatih Akin's film and will not leave it off the final five. And, if it makes the final five, then I think it stands an excellent shot at winning — voters will be more inclined to check it out than some of its competition, thanks to its accumulation of accolades, its timely story (about the rise of hate groups and hate crimes) and their familiarity with star Diane Kruger. Only France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Sweden and Denmark have accumulated more nominations for the foreign-language film Oscar than Germany's 10, and should it rack up No. 11, Germany could become only the ninth country to have won three times or more.

Tillerson says Gulf states have come up with list of demands for Qatar
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says that the Gulf countries that have enacted a blockade against Qatar have come up with a list of demands for the small Arab country to act on in order to ease the region's diplomatic rift.
This follows the State Department's stance on Tuesday, pressing countries in the standoff with Qatar to publicly lay out detailed reasoning for the blockade, ostensibly over its backing of regional terrorism. The State Department is questioning the legitimacy of the blockade.
"We are mystified that the Gulf states have not released to the public, nor to the Qataris, the details about the claims that they are making toward Qatar," explained State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert on Tuesday. As time goes on without specific claims, Nauert said that "more doubt" emerges about the claims on the whole. The Qatar embassy in the U.S. tweeted out Nauert's statement.
"At this point, we are left with one simple question: Were the actions really about their concerns about Qatar's alleged support for terrorism, or were they about the long-simmering grievances between and among the GCC countries?" Nauert asked.
Now that this list has been prepared, Tillerson hopes it will be "reasonable and actionable." The list has not been made public.
Since the dispute emerged over two weeks ago, Tillerson has been committed to working out the matter. President Trump appointed him to be the top U.S. diplomat on the issue. Mr. Trump has offered the White House as the venue for the parties to meet, though Tillerson has not yet taken him up on the offer.
Tillerson has had over 20 phone calls and in-person meetings with Gulf and other regional and international actors since the rift began. He cancelled his trip to Mexico for the Organization of American States meeting on Venezuela so that he could spend time focusing on "de-escalating tensions" among the Gulf states.
Now, the secretary is ready to see results.
"Let's finish this. Let's get this going," said Nauert. The State Department does not have its own list of demands for Qatar, regarding terrorism-related activity. U.S. diplomats simply want to see the "long-brewing tensions" resolved.
The UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash reportedly said that this is a "new state of affairs" and warned that "isolation can last years."
Meanwhile, Qatar says they will not come to the table to negotiate until the blockade is fully dropped. Qataris describe the blockade as a "publicity stunt" aimed at diminishing Qatar's influence in the region.
"You cannot punish us for something without having a conversation about it," complained one Qatari official.
And as Tillerson attempts to push the countries towards de-escalation, it's not clear how closely he will be heeded, given the difference between his rhetoric on the topic and Mr. Trump's. Earlier this month, the president tweeted that his trip to the region was "paying off" when the blockade was announced. He has also said that Qatar is "a funder of terrorism at a very high level" and used a White House press conference to call the blockade "hard but necessary." This transpired just hours after Tillerson called for an easing of the blockade.
The US still maintains an interest in preserving relationships with all of these countries -- especially Qatar, where over 10,000 US service members are based. This was apparent last week when Defense Secretary James Mattis met with the Qatari Defense Minister to officially sign the U.S. sale of $12 billion worth of US 36 F-16 fighter jets.

With a different theme each day the Holiday Club learnt that God created an amazing world and saw that it was good; David and Goliath showed how important we all are to God, and the story of Daniel taught about the importance of prayer.
Christmas was celebrated, yes you did read that correctly! The birth of Jesus was the next part of God's big plan for the world, and If singing 'away in a manger' in July wasn't weird enough, the week ended with Easter!
Highlights of the week included daily dramas from the Showstoppers theatre company directed by St Andrew's Creative Arts youth worker Libby Redman, new songs led by Margaret Smith, Anna Liddell headed up the craft activities which included tea light holders, magnets, key rings, and puppet theatres, and lively team games, organised and implemented by Sam Woods.
For the third year running a prayer space allowed the children to experience quiet and creative ways of talking to God, and at the end of each day, the children were asked if there was anything they would like to give thanks for and were prayed for before they went home.
Andrea Woods, holiday club leader and children, young people and families worker for St Andrew's said: "It has been a really fantastic week. The children have been great fun and joined in with enthusiasm. There have been some amazing conversations. A team of over 30 people of all ages used their God-given gifts and talents to serve in a variety of ways. I give thanks to God for each one of them."
On the last day, parents were invited to attend a short service of thanksgiving and to stay for lunch, made by local caterers 'Star Value'.This provided everyone with a great opportunity to chat and share what had been going on all week.
The pictures show some of the activities during the week.
Both Christ Church and St Andrew's offer a variety of activities for children, young people and families. For more information please contact: email@example.com or email@example.com

Applying Stakeholder Perspectives to Sustainable Biofuel Strategy: A Summary of Our Analyses
- 5.1k Downloads
In this chapter, the stakeholder perspectives described in Chap. 1.2 are applied to the analysis of biofuel deployment around the world, which will be described as detailed case studies in Part II of this book. Table 1 summarizes the review. Based on the review of case studies included in Part II, seven key stakeholder categories can be summarized as follows.
4.1 Producers in Developing Nations
Toward the mass production of biofuels for transportation and other uses, feedstock production is increasingly dependent on developing nations in South America and Southeast Asia. For instance, multiple sections in Part II focused on the production of sugarcane-based bioethanol in Brazil. Chapter 2.2.1 will analyze the impact of increased production of sugarcane in Brazil on forest, land, and water uses. In a similar vein, Chap. 2.1.2 will discuss various methods of bioethanol production that would eventually contribute to the ultimate goal of deploying biofuels, which is to reduce the GHG emission. Chapter 2.2.2 will also discuss various methods of production with focus on regional impacts. Chapter 2.3.1 will provide an overview of stakeholders in Brazilian bioethanol and Indonesian biodiesel production sectors. These chapters focus on producers' influence on the environment, as well as the influence on varieties of stakeholders in the production of biofuels.
In the context of regulating biofuels, "producers" of feedstock are often characterized as profit-seeking plantation owners that contribute to the degradation of natural environment and living environment of indigenous people. The reality in the field of production in developing nations, however, is far more complex. Different kinds of plantation owners exist, varying by the scale of capital and the main market. Plantation owners are not the sole decision-maker in the feedstock production. Many independent small-scale farmers still exist.
Stakeholders covered in each chapter of Part II
Producers in developing nations
Users in developing nations
Producers and users in developed nations
Communities of stakeholders in the production areas
Future generations
Impacts at the global scale
Impacts of biofuels to the international agricultural markets
Effect of biofuel production on the GHG emission reduction
Impacts at the national and regional scales
Changes in forest and land/water usage patterns following biofuel productions
Socioeconomic impacts in East Asia
Impacts at the local scale
Political and societal impacts to the variety of stakeholders
Impacts to the ecosystem services
4.2 Users in Developing Nations
While discourses on biofuels are often focused on the increasing demand for biofuels at the global scale because of the need to offset GHG emissions, domestic users are in fact the major players in the deployment of biofuels. Brazil's Pró-Álcool policy in response to the oil crisis of 1973 was successful in achieving the market-scale production of bioethanols, supported by the introduction of flex-fuel technologies in the early 2000s. Indonesia is also promoting the domestic use of biodiesels by providing subsidies particularly because of its increasing demand for conventional fossil fuels and the subsequent need to import oil and gas. In the light of transportation and marketing costs as well as environmental footprint, it would be far smarter to use them domestically, rather than to export them to developed nations. Therefore, the "energy independence" discourse, instead of "green innovation" discourse, supports the domestic production and uses of biofuels within the developing nations (i.e., the same logic applies to the US policy for domestic production and use of bioethanol).
On the other hand, the frustrating experience with Jatropha curcas in many South Asian nations suggests the need of reframing its position in the varieties of biofuel options. Jatropha was once promoted as a method of increasing the biofuel production in arid areas where palm and other plantations are relatively difficult. The promotion of Jatropha, however, has been unsuccessful in many parts particularly because of the unstable demand for biofuel feedstock as well as the frustrating yields compared to what had been promised in pitched promotion. In response, Chap. 2.2.2 articulates a more realistic strategy for Jatropha curcas. Households in the rural parts of Southeast Asian nations are still suffering from the shortage of basic needs, including fuels. Instead of letting them cut down trees without much concerns on sustainability, Jatropha curcas could be useful in sustaining the life of rural villages by providing sustainable fuels for household.
4.3 Producers and Users in Developed Nations
Chapter 2.1.1 is a unique, but foremost important, chapter in Part II, because it will primarily deal with producers and users of biofuel in the United States. While Brazil would be the first successful nation to propagate the use of biofuel through its Pró-Álcool policy, the renewed interest in biofuels in the twenty-first century was initially triggered by the US federal government's substantial investments in the further use of biofuels produced by domestic corns and soybeans. Its influence is formidable because using these feedstocks for biofuels directly competes with other conventional uses, which are vegetable oil and food as such. The added demand for these crops can trigger price hikes infiltrated by opportunistic investments in future option markets. In addition, wide varieties of government subsidies to producers, often motivated by political interests, in the name of "green innovation" distort the value of these crops. Nonetheless, the bioethanol production in the United States has been steadily increasing even until 20111, and the troubling nature of biofuels that entertain competition between fuel use and food use can become a major issue in 2012 when the North American farmers are hit by a major drought.
Users in the developing nations are also major stakeholders because they can influence the demand for biofuels worldwide. Chapter 2.3.1 will touch on this issue. In particular, the EU member states and many states of the United States have mandates regarding the mix of biofuels in the conventionally marketed automobile fuels. For instance, EU's Directive 2009/28/EC mandates each member state to turn the 10% of its transportation fuels into biofuels before 2020. This kind of mandate influences the global demand for biofuels. Users in developed nations are also concerned about rainforests and fair trade. Therefore, the governments of these nations have been exploring the use of accreditation schemes for biofuels so that their policy for increasing the use of biofuels would not harm the interests of these domestic NGOs and other interest groups.
4.4 Communities of Stakeholders in the Production Areas
There are many "other" key stakeholders in the field of production. For instance, Chap. 2.2.1 articulates the impact of increased production of feedstocks on the environment. In Brazil, there is strong concern, particularly among international environmental NGO communities, about the expansion of plantations into rainforest and in Cerrado. Even if a marginal expansion of plantation takes a piece of relatively less environmentally valuable land, it can have a spillover effect on water resources and other competing land uses such as cattle herding. These indirect impacts must be addressed in considering the expansion of biofuel uses and Chap. 2.2.1 tries to address these issues by analyzing such impacts quantitatively. Chapter 2.3.2 provides an overview of similar impacts from the perspective of ecosystem services.
Natural environment and resources are not only the key stakeholders related to production. For instance, Chap. 2.3.1 provides an overview of the relevant stakeholders in Brazil and Indonesia. Investors and trade firms play an integral role in developing the supply chain of biofuels. In Brazil, the national development bank, BNDES, plays a pivotal role in developing advanced facilities that can flexibly produce both crude sugar and bioethanol. Trade farms are also important in facilitating infrastructure developments for exporting biofuels at a large scale. Without an appropriate involvement of these stakeholders, the expansion of biofuel uses, particularly at the global scale, is unlikely. Labor organizations are also important. Plantations hire a number of manual seasonal laborers for harvesting. Once the biofuels are exported to developed nations, international communities will be more concerned about the working environment and "fair" share of profit between the plantation owners and laborers.
4.5 Future Generations
The last, but requiring a serious attention, category of biofuel deployment stakeholders is our future generations. The foremost goal of deploying biofuels at the global scale is to reduce the carbon emission, which will eventually curtail the risk of damage from a major climate change. Chapter 2.1.2 addresses this question by comparing various methods of biofuel production that can most reduce the GHG emission. While feedstock captures CO2 when it grows, the procedures of turning it into fuels in fact emit CO2. Chapter 2.1.2 therefore introduces the life cycle analysis perspective to measure the effect of various kinds of production method. In its analysis, the effect of using bagasse—the residue of sugar cane—for electricity production is substantial because the increasing demand for electricity in Brazil would lead to an increased dependence on coal-fired power plants.
4.6 Summary
This chapter reviewed how the stakeholder perspectives are applied to our analyses of biofuel deployment with different methods. While the discourse on biofuels has often focused on the impact of expanded production on the surrounding natural environment, the impact is far more extended to a wide variety of stakeholders. In reality, the issues around biofuel are not just a polarized debate between pro-expansion and anti-expansion. A number of actors, such as investors, manual laborers, and end-use consumers in developed nations, play a pivotal role in the chain of actions from production to consumption. In addition, political discourses often negate the foremost important stakeholders: the future generation. They are the ones who would eventually benefit from the curtailed carbon emissions. As is reviewed in this chapter, there is a clear need to draw a holistic picture of biofuel stakeholders in the field. In the next chapter, varieties of discourse over the biofuel uses are reviewed using the analytical framework called "ontology."

Question Description
During World War II, Japanese-American families were detained in camps for the protection of the nation. Later, that was considered wrong and against the Constitution. How do you think concerns about the Patriot Act should be handled? Should the Act stand as it is or should parts of it be modified to reflect current concerns?

"This has been my dream home since I moved here in 2011," Wagner told me during a phone interview. "Since we first saw this area, my family and I were determined to live here, surrounded by the endlessly inspiring views."
Valued at $1.7 million in Canadian dollars (or $1.27 million in US currency), Wagner says that a serious fall she suffered last summer has forced her to part with her dream home.
"My bones were weak, and I hurt myself in a very bad way, which makes it difficult to stay here," Wagner said. "This has been my dream home but my dream of growing old here came crashing down last June. I'm very independent and don't want people taking care of me. It's become a very big home for one person to take care of."
Last month, Wagner launched an essay contest in an attempt to find her home's next owner. For an entry fee of $25 in Canadian currency ($18.87 in U.S. funds), and a one-page story, letter, email or poem (maximum of 350 words), you'll be in the running to win.
According to Wagner, two stories with Maine connections inspired her decision to sell her home using an essay contest.
"The Center Lovell Inn traded hands with a similar contest in 2015," said Wagner. "And when I told a friend that I was thinking about doing something like it, they said I had to watch the movie 'The Spitfire Grill.'"
The 1996 movie, set in Gilead, Maine, tells the story of Percy, a young woman starting over after being released from prison. She lands a job as a waitress at a small diner at risk of closing after the owner suffers a fall. Percy devises a plan to sell the diner through an essay contest.
"It's a beautiful movie and I felt a strong connection to my own story when I saw it," Wagner told me.
Wagner outlines the rules of her contest at www.WriteaLetterWinaHome.ca and on Facebook. In order to generate $1.7 million in Canadian currency, a minimum of 68,000 entries must be received prior to April 5.
Each entry is read by Wagner, who says she will select 500 finalists whose entries will be read by a panel of judges.
"It's an open format contest," she said. "Some people send poems, some write essays. One person just sent a single paragraph that was so compelling I was in amazement when I read it. In very few words, they made a very strong case for why they should be living in this home. I still think about it even after reading 500 entries each day."
Wagner says she has blown away by the response to her contest and says she didn't realize how difficult her job would be in selecting finalists.
"I've read so many touching stories that it will be difficult to choose only 500 finalists out of 68,000 entries at the end," she said. "The most important thing when I read a letter is that I want to feel that people are being honest and are talking from their heart. There have been a few letters that did not come across that way."
Wagner says the 5,000 square foot Georgian-style mansion comes complete with an expansive wine cellar and sits on a 1.1-acre lot, surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain views. She says she currently pays under $600 per month for property taxes.
"Looking out these windows every morning when I wake up has been so inspirational," Wagner says. "I was planning on growing old here surrounded by the beauty of the Alberta foothills. After the contest ends, I would like to stay in this area, but it will be in a much smaller home."

Turning CupCake into a subtractive CNC
combray 29 Apr 2009 21:30
How easy would it be to attach a different tool to the cupcake machine? It looks like most of the parts to make the machine itself were made using a laser/subtractive process. Maybe putting a laser into the machine would be a bit… ambitious… but could you attach a dremel or other cutting tool?
