Knowlton FabLab's 3-D Printing Highlighted in onCampus Guide
The Ohio State University's numerous and varied 3-D printing facilities are the topic of the cover story in the August 2013 edition of onCampus Guide. Included in the article is a segment on the Knowlton School's Z Corp 3-D printer. onCampus spent the summer touring facilities across campus and researching the differing ways that programs at OSU use this technology, concluding that, while 3-D printing at facilities at OSU have been around for many years, "(w)hat's changing — other than entry-level printers becoming more accessible to all because patents are expiring and price points are dropping — is how faculty, staff and students are rethinking how to use the technology as materials for the printer expand well beyond plastic," and that 3-D printing technology is driving innovation at the University.
In addition to Knowlton Hall's FabLab, onCampus highlighted facilities in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, whose 3-D printing equipment recently helped the Department of Plastic Surgery develop prosthetics used in facial reconstruction; the Engineering Education Innovation Center in Hitchcock Hall; and the Ideation Lab at Ohio State's Technology Commercialization and Knowledge Transfer Office.
Read the full article, "Replicating in 3-D," on the onCampus website.
Note that the article mistakenly refers to the Z Corp 3-D printer as the ZCOR 3-D printer.

Viral marketing
The project we are working on right now is focusing on viral marketing. Viral marketing means we are not talking about a normal "campaign" that is advertised to the target group by the company that started the campaign (via radion, newspapers, tv, banners, etc), but it is mainly spread by the target group itself (like a virus). Where it used to be word-of-mouth, nowadays of course it's going much faster on the internet. For more info, check wikipedia on viral marketing.
Social networks
There are a lot of online social networks, both business (LinkedIn, Xing, etc) as private (Facebook, Hyves, Twitter, etc). The power of these social networks is that they enable the user to show themselves and contact friends, relations. And all that in a user friendly way, no copy-pasting e-mail address, but button-click functionality to expand your network and show who you are.
Contribute and win
My current project combines the viral marketing and the social networks into one. A marketing message that is spread to the user group via the social networks, by the target group itself. A powerfull combination, and the concept leads to a lot of positive response. People are invited to enroll in a competition (motive: you can win something nice). Of course we ask the information that is the main goal for the marketing campaign (a content submit and/or personal details). So there is a win-win-win situation. The marketing goal is reached, the target group is happy to join a competition and win awesome prices, overall costs drop because of the use of available networks.
Of course a new blog post will follow after we have the first release live 🙂
Interesting use of this approach: Use a viral to see if a community has added value for your business/product.

Doc Westchesterson is ready to roll
The mysterious performer known as Doc Westchesterson is sitting with his beloved Doris. Doris is what he calls his "key-tar," a combination keyboard and guitar that has been his inseparable companion since 2012. "BB King had Lucille, and I have Doris," he said.
Westchesterson has no other family, so he says, and he and Doris are committed to living what he called "straight up hip-hop life."
The good doctor is being interviewed by a square, so he is asked what the "hip-hop" life was, he described it as "mackin', chillin', partyin'" and he is in town do to a little (or a lot) of it as he prepares for two shows at Capt. Nick's. He plays on Thursday, Aug 1 at 9:30 p.m. and again on Sept. 1. The Doc is hard to reach. In order to get in touch with him, one has to contact the owner of Capt. Nick's, even though Westchesterson said he couldn't remember the owner's name.
Westchesterson said he did not come from a musical family. Neither of his parents played an instrument in the house he grew up in western Massachusetts, "but ma and pa Westchesterson played a lot of Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel." His own personal taste turned more to rock, at least at first. "It all started with KISS. It was all about Gene Simmons," said Westchesterson of the KISS front man. The music inspired him to start his first band in the sixth grade, called Second Thought, which played the hits of the 1980s by the Cars, the Police. Then something hit him like a bolt of lightning when he was about 14: the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right To Party." That song, he said, changed everything. "That set me on the road to hip-hop," he said.
He said he probably heard it first in the car of a friend named Lloyd, who had a 1969 Charger, but the memory is a bit foggy. "You have to understand that my youth is pretty hazy," said Westchesterson. "I don't remember too many details." He said that Lloyd "popped in the tape and it was like Pandora's box opening. It was like when those monkeys touched the black box in '2001: A Space Odyssey.'"
We have to skip forward a couple of decades due to the fact that Westchesterson said he was on the lam for about 20 years, hiding out, because of a traffic stop gone horribly wrong. After that case cleared up, he came to the island around 2012. "I came to the island so much that I started to stay out," he said. When asked what he does out here besides music, Westchesterson said he has a "side business that involves horticulture and sales." (Westchesterson claims to have an actual medical degree. He said he went to the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, "where I developed my green thumb, and then I completed medical school in Portland, Oregon." There, he said, he developed "groundbreaking processes in the medical marijuana industry.") Now that he lives here, he said his "love for Block Island runs deep. I am blessed and privileged to be welcomed here."
He has made some videos, and when asked if had recorded any albums, Westchesterson said, "no one makes albums any more. I have my tracks on SoundCloud." He described his music as "old school hip-hop." The success of those early videos, he said, cemented his status as "the most famous rapper from western Mass."
Music is his life. "Hip-hop is my muse," as he puts it. "The main reason to come to my shows is to get that booty shakin', to let go of all your cares and worries, and have the best time you've ever had."

Many Thanks to Nate Riccardi for his recap of the event:
Here is a short video showing some of the S&W team warming up and learning the game
Beep Baseball Game: Boston Renegades 3 – Sullivan & Worcester 3 (Disclaimer: The Boston Renegades afforded Team S&W between six and eight outs per inning compared to their three, and allowed us to hit without the blindfold after our third strike. We are under no illusions that this is, in any way, a legitimate tie.)
The evening began with a clinic on base running and hitting, led by members of the Boston Renegades. Sounds simple right?
In the hitting clinic, in a scene reminiscent of The Karate Kid, Boston Renegades senseis Wrong Way Buizon and Tim Syphers showed blindfolded S&Wers how to use timing and faith to hit a beeping ball out of the air. Despite detailed and enthusiastic mentoring, only a few S&W players managed to make contact with the ball, with most looking like a four-year-old trying to hit a birthday piñata. With an impending game against seasoned veterans, things were not looking so good for Team S&W. However, it is worth noting that Caitlin Fahey and Smita Deshmukh seemed to have the hang of things, as both hit rockets down the first base line. Also, Kevin Colmey's consistent pitching inspired hope that Team S&W would be able to turn things around.
In the base running clinic, things were not any better. Boston Renegades players Inky and Evan Silver demonstrated how to run blindfolded toward, and make contact with, beeping "bases," which stand 100 feet away and resemble football tackling dummies. Unique to beep ball, a run is scored automatically if the batter reaches the base before the fielder controls the ball. S&W players experimented with many interesting base-running techniques, including Michaela Duff's "wandering zig-zag", the "sprint and stop and sprint again" of Tom Ahmadifar "a long, long way to run", and crowd-favorite, Smita's patented "alligator chomp" when attempting to locate the base. On a positive note, "Slick" Rick Goulding may have broken the rookie base running record with a time under seven seconds.
Then, ready or not (definitely not), it was game time. Team S&W led off the top of the first inning with some excitement, with Caitlin ripping a ball up the first base line. Although Caitlin and the Boston Renegade defender were sprinting aggressively and resembled runaway trains on a collision course, disaster was averted as the ball rolled just foul and Boston Renegades coach Rob yelled "STOP!" Caitlin was unable to continue her hot-hitting streak, striking out on the next pitch. Next, Nate "Probable" Koslof smashed a line drive to center field. Although he wandered for a while, Nate tackled the base like an NFL defensive end a millisecond before Boston Renegade Evan Silver controlled the ball, scoring Team S&W's first run! After a few more strike outs, Valerie "Sassy" Sussman came to the plate. Demonstrating her patient, "wait & punch" batting technique, Valerie hit a screaming ground ball up the first base line. However, apparently desperate for sustenance, Valerie ran into foul territory, directly toward the beer and cheese coolers, and the inning was over.
In the bottom of the first, the Boston Renegades scored two runs on some great hits. However, the damage was lessened by some spectacular, frog-like fielding by Matt Riviere. Boston Renegades 2, S&W 1.
In the top of the second, the generous Boston Renegades instituted a new rule, whereby after the third strike, S&W players were allowed to hit without the blindfold but had to put the blindfold back on to run the bases. This introduced a whole new layer of complexity, as no one could remember to reapply their blindfold after making contact. Laura "It's" Miller "Time" led off the inning with a great hit, but demonstrated Team S&W's base running difficulties by running to the wrong base. Things then took a turn for the worse, when S&W Firm Game MVP Rick Goulding came to the plate. After three blindfolded swings and misses, Rick was allowed a final swing without the blindfold. Despite Rick's colossal home run swing, the ball hit the back of the catcher's mitt for strike four. Boston Renegades' Evan "Hi Ho" Silver could be heard from right field jeering, "no really, we said that you can take off the blindfold!"
Next, Michaela, blindfold-less, hit a blast to left-center, but right at the fielder, who controlled the ball in only 3.7 seconds. Summer Associate Tom then hit a shot to the third baseman, who also made a great play for the out. Rich Jones demonstrated some beautiful and powerful swings, but eventually became a victim of the Boston Renegades stellar defense as well. Finally, Brooke, wife of Summer Associate A.J. "Sergeant" Pepper's "Lonely Heart Club Band," may have distracted pitcher Kevin Colmey with her neon batting attire, and ultimately was not able to make contact with the ball.
In the bottom of the second, some stellar fielding by Rick Goulding held the Boston Renegades to only one run. On a fly ball, Rick patiently waited for the ball to hit the ground, and then pounced like a puma hunting a meerkat to keep the game within reach. Boston Renegades 3, S&W 1.
In the third and final inning, Team S&W finally seemed to work out some of the kinks. A.J. Pepper led off the inning with a hit to short stop, and almost scored a run (despite forgetting to put his blindfold back on). Next, Lou Monti hit a long blast to deep left field, but unfortunately the great fielding of the Boston Renegades' left fielder, Joe MCcormick narrowly beat Lou to the base. Then, Summer Associate Emma "Ice" Melton had a great hit to the Boston Renegades second baseman Wrong Way, who demonstrated an acrobatic "crawling vacuum cleaner" fielding technique to retire Emma. Following Emma, Matt Riviere smashed the ball to the outfield and displayed amazing speed to score a run in a photo finish to bring S&W within a run! Finally, Smita stepped to the plate with the game on the line. Never letting the pressure rattle her, Smita hit a rope to right center field and sprinted out of the gate. As the defender approached the ball and Smita approached the base, it looked too close to call. Then Smita flew through the air, sacrificing her body, to tackle the base and tie the score, all while blindfolded! The crowd went wild! Finally, as the sun set behind Moxley Field, the game was called and everyone rejoiced for team photos and a delightful dinner at John Brewers in Waltham.
We would like to offer a special thanks to Amy and Guy Zuccarello for making this event happen, and Boston Renegades' coaches Rob and Jason for all of their hard work and instruction. Also, thanks to Kevin Colmey for pitching a great game and to Dick Hiersteiner for his enthusiastic support from the sidelines.
This was an amazing experience and an event that we all hope becomes a staple of the S&W summer. Thank you to everyone who came out!

Cancer Plans, Long Term Care Insurance and Disability Insurance
Cancer Plan
Approximately 1.6 million new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed in 2015, according to the Silver Book® Cancer Fact Sheet 1. Americans age 55 and over will comprise 78% of that estimate. There have been many breakthroughs in medicine and cancer treatments. The survival rate has gone up substantially, 40% over the last 40 years, but the cost of that treatment remains a financial burden for most individuals and families.
While fighting cancer, loss of income is a real possibility. In addition, the two basic costs associated with fighting cancer are Medical Expenses and Non-Medical Expenses. Some of the expenses you may incur include:
Special Expenses:
- Transportation
- Hotels
- Special Diets
- Family Care
Living Expenses
- House Payment/Rent
- Car Payments
- Utilities (gas/electric/water)
- Groceries
Health Insurance Shortfalls (out of pocket expenses)
- Deductibles
- Co-payments
- Benefit Limitations

Studies in the "Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2015-2016" from the American Cancer Society note that in 2015, an estimated 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among US women, as well as an estimated 60,290 additional cases of in situ breast cancer. Breast Cancer is a disease that can be lived with and a disease that can be beaten… give yourself the financial support needed to beat breast cancer, give yourself a fighting chance.
Out of pocket expenses for cancer can be paid for by drawing on your life savings, selling off your assets, and/or having Supplemental Insurance protection.
Ask us about a Cancer Only Policy with Increased Benefits for Treatment of Breast Cancer.
For the price of a few large cups of coffee a month, you deserve a fighting chance.

So did you make any New Year resolutions?
If you're like the group at a recent WordPress Meetup I attended in North Phoenix, you didn't. Just about no one planned for any other than "not to make New Year resolutions."
The New Year is a Terrible Time to Make Resolutions
I'm convinced that New Year's is about the worst time to make a resolution. Here are just a few reasons:
- New Year's happens near the end of the winter holiday season. Many of us are squeezing in a last few hours to engage in mild to moderate hedonism.
- Once you've broken a resolution by January 2, what's the point?
- New Year's resolutions have a nagging quality no one wants to deal with particularly when they are leaving party mode.
- It's still cold and miserable out for a lot of the country. And while it's mild here in the Phoenix area, it's dark by 6:30 and that makes it feel cold.
And for what it's worth, it's been overcast for more than a week now in Phoenix and it's rained almost every day. I know I shouldn't complain but really, this is not what I expect during the months when you can go outside for more than a few minutes without bringing a hat, sunscreen, or water.
I just got these cute new sunglasses just before Christmas Day and I have had exactly one opportunity to use them. This isn't normal.
The Best Laid New Year Resolution Plans Don't Work Anyway
I spent the last day of the holiday coming to grips with the fact that my LastPass master password wasn't going to work no matter what I did. I must have changed it at some point but I don't remember doing this. LastPass doesn't store master passwords so I reset the whole mess and began the process of asking every site I visit to let me change the password. This takes more time than you'd think.
To make matters worse, LastPass reset me as a free user when in fact I'm a Premium user. I sent them a copy of the invoice but they haven't acted on it yet.
Can you guess what my resolution was for 2016?
So much for planning. I wonder if Australians and New Zealanders are more successful with their New Year resolutions?
The Middle of Winter Doesn't Feel Like a New Year
Frankly, I never felt like the middle of winter was a good time to start the New Year.
This may be because I'm Jewish, and we celebrate New Year begins in the autumn. This also coincides with the start of the school year. As a kid I thought it was perfectly logical to have a New Year holiday at that time.
But the middle of winter? Why not have a new year during the summer solstice?
It's not like anything is new in January. OK, there's a new president coming in but a a lot of people aren't particularly happy about this.
Plus, it's still the middle of winter. For a lot of the country, the light at the end of the tunnel is still a few month's off at best. This really isn't the time to start a conversation about losing weight, cutting down on drinking, or blogging more often.
Well, maybe blogging more often is easier to do.
New Year Resolutions Weren't Supposed to Start So Early In the Year
It turns out that the middle of the damn winter isn't when we are supposed to celebrate the new year and make New Year resolutions.
According to History.com, the earliest known new year celebrations were in ancient Babylon and they did it in March, for the spring solstice. They started this about 4,000 years ago.
The Babylonians marked their new year at around the time of the equinox, which coincided with the spring barley harvest. They celebrated with different rituals for 11 days. New kings were crowned around that time as well, since it coincided with a religious event to celebrate their sky god's victory over the sea god.
They also made promises to their gods they'd pay back their debts and return things they'd borrowed. Pretty much like a New Year resolution, isn't it?
The Jewish New Year includes 10 Days of Awe that end with Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. On that day, we're supposed to we are supposed to ask for forgiveness for our sins or wrongdoings/screwups and hope to be inscribed in the Book of Life. That does make it easier to make a resolution to Never Do This Again, or Stop Doing That or you won't get in the book.
It's striking to see that both cultures established a new year holiday after their harvest had nearly the same number of days devoted to it.
As for my resolutions, the timing helped me keep them at least through the winter break. By that time, I was used to them so keeping them after January 2 wasn't so hard.
How to Keep a Resolution Any Time of Year
I'd say there are healthy ways to approach a resolution:
- Start a resolution whenever it feels right. If it's New Year's, fine, but understand the odds are against success.
- Make it something you really want to do and that you know will be beneficial, like quit smoking.
- Celebrate benchmarks. If you go a week without smoking, look at the money you saved and put it aside for something fun.
- Recognize that some days are better than others.
- Read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. He really puts things in perspective.
Lastly, keep a backup copy of your passwords somewhere that's really secure–a safe, or maybe a shoebox.

Democratic Deconsolidation
Crucial reading:
What does it mean, in concrete terms, for democracy to be the only game in town? In our view, the degree to which a democracy is consolidated depends on three key characteristics: the degree of popular support for democracy as a system of government; the degree to which antisystem parties and movements are weak or nonexistent; and the degree to which the democratic rules are accepted. […] This empirical understanding of democratic consolidation opens up conceptual space for the possibility of "democratic deconsolidation." In theory, it is possible that, even in the seemingly consolidated democracies of North America and Western Europe, democracy may one day cease to be the "only game in town": Citizens who once accepted democracy as the only legitimate form of government could become more open to authoritarian alternatives. […] … It is at least plausible to think that such a process of democratic deconsolidation may already be underway in a number of established democracies in North America and Western Europe. […] … In a world where most citizens fervently support democracy, where antisystem parties are marginal or nonexistent, and where major political forces respect the rules of the political game, democratic breakdown is extremely unlikely. It is no longer certain, however, that this is the world we live in. […] … As democracies deconsolidate, the prospect of democratic breakdown becomes increasingly likely — even in parts of the world that have long been spared such instability. If political scientists are to avoid being blindsided by the demise of established democracies in the coming decades, as they were by the fall of communism a few decades ago, they need to find out whether democratic deconsolidation is happening; to explain the possible causes of this development; to delineate its likely consequences (present and future); and to ponder the potential remedies.
Considerable statistical evidence (provided in the paper) supports this alarmed conclusion.
(Drezner is nervous.)

Ok I've been giving out recipes so I think I should do something on prepping this time. So lets come up with a PLAN! Every family is different so everyone's plan will be different. There is no "one size" fits all program. So on with our PLAN! The idea for this article came from one I saw in Prepare Magazine September 2013 written by Craig Johnson entitled: SIMPLE NATURAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS TIPS. You can find this magazine at: http://www.PREPAREmag.com
P.repare: Any good plan requires preparedness. You need to decide what you are preparing for. Who will be helping prepare and who will be covered by your preps. What events might happen in your area? I live in North West Missouri. While lots of things do and can happen here, I don't need to think about hurricanes. What items do you need to prepare and where do you need to keep your preps. In your family you will also want everyone to know why you are prepping. And when will you start your preps? There are so many things you need to consider. How much income and time can you afford to spend on prepping? Preparing is a very personal thing and it will be your own plan.
L.earn Once you start your prepping you need to take time to learn. Learn new skills and improve existing ones. You might have food, water, medicines and self defense items but do you know how to use them? Have you practiced with them? It's fine to think you can always cook over an open fire but have you tried it? Can you get a fire going when it's raining or it's snowing and -20. Do you have the right cookware and do you know how to cook over that open fire so your food turns out perfect instead of burnt and raw. Do you know how to use your survival tools. Will they hold up if you ever have to use them? Using things now is so very important. Going camping is a great time to practice with these skills and find out how you and your family can handle a crisis should you ever face one.
A.ttitude As the saying goes attitude is everything. If you listen to the news and are paying attention at all its easy to feel overwhelmed. You must keep a positive attitude! Being positive helps you keep on track and get prepared while everyone else thinks the sky is falling. Having a firm believe in something is very important. For me it is my savior, Jesus Christ but it might be something different for you. It doesn't matter what it is as long as you have a very firm belief in it. When a crisis hits this is what will keep you going. Firm belief & positive attitude.
N. eeds Rome was not built in a day and neither will you have your preps done overnight. You will have to plan what you need and work toward getting everything in place. But it will not happen quickly but with persistent work to make it happen. Set goals and make it happen. Get what you need for 30 days and then work on getting 90 days and then 6 months. Slow but steady and you will find you will get what you need to have on hand.
Just remember if you are just starting out you may feel like it is all overwhelming and you can never get what you need. Breaking it in to smaller sections will make it easier to do. After you get under way then you can make a master plan and slowly pick up the other items you feel your family needs.

I wanted to clarify the procedure for adding a staff member to an existing project. It seems that with the new system you need to; # Go to Project Management, search project # Add the staff member to "Team" # Add rate to "Billing Rate" # Go back to "Team" assign billing rate # Go to "Tasks" and add staff member to each individual task (edit task, change resource assignments) Is this correct? It is a lot more time consuming than the previous timesheet method.

text: Zachary will often get ready with me for work in the morning. Part of the routine includes going into the bathroom where I brush his teeth – which thankfully has gotten easier – and he plays while I brush my teeth and shave. While in my bathroom, Zachary likes to grab random things like eye drops or deodorant from the drawers and play with them in the shower. The other morning he was sitting in the shower while I was getting ready with the shower half covered by the curtain. I could see Zachary and he kept pointing to the part of the shower that was covered saying, "Elmo, Elmo, Elmo…" Zachary likes to say "Elmo" a lot so I didn't think much of it. But, he kept pointing and saying "Elmo". So, I looked behind the curtain and you know what I found, a half torn Elmo sticker on the shower drain. I have no idea how it got there but I was definitely a little surprised. Good call, Zachary.

It's the end of another working week and as anyone running their own business knows, there's always at least one nugget of new knowledge that's been acquired, however big or small. This week, TransTeach's learning curve has come on in leap and bounds and despite starting out over 7 years ago, we never stop being a student when it comes to finding out more about the (business) world at large.
So what key lessons have been on the timetable this week?
Firstly, resilience is probably the most underrated skill in business, and in life! Without it, you don't stand much of a chance. With it, you can conquer the world (at least metaphorically speaking.)
Once again, recent months have seen us face many challenges, from unexpected slumps in work requests to the usual stresses and strains of deadlines when trying to re-brand/launch a new website. The only thing that has got us through, as it always does, is a firm belief that all will eventually work out for the best. That's easier to conjure up on some days than on others, naturally. However, it's one trait/skill that is something we try to pass on to every single one of our students just starting out in the translation industry. See the positive in everything and believe – in yourself, in successful outcomes, in everything coming good in the end. It pretty much always works. The opposite view, one of pessimism and dreading the worst, generally only causes misery and makes dragging yourself through each day all the harder. Which leads us on to our next lesson…
Secondly, team/community/family, call it what you will, is vital, nay, ESSENTIAL, if you are to remain sane in business/life. When remaining optimistic is hard, having the right people around you can ensure you don't succumb to the quagmire. Instead you can laugh, put things into a bit of perspective, and even come up with much better and more creative ways to overcome difficulties. When you're a freelancer/sole trader, you need to seek out team/community/family wherever you can, so whether they're physical, online (or evening imaginary!), locate them, share with them and watch how much easier it feels to face everything you're going through.
When TransTeach relocated from London to Yorkshire this time last year, one of our biggest fears was leaving much of our support network behind. In reality, the wonder that is the Internet and the ease with which you meet people (when you're walking the new canine member of the company!) has meant that there's never been any dearth of help, assistance and downright championing of what we do. For that, we are immensely grateful. Over the year, we've extended our virtual and physical network considerably, by joining new groups, both locally and online. This week, when we actually had to call on people to show their support quite explicitly (Facebook likes and shares, Twitter retweets etc), every single person stepped up to the mark and made us realise how fortunate we are. So, on behalf of TransTeach:
THANK YOU, for being part of our virtual team, wherever you are…

Comfort versus Efficiency
Specialists suggest you will get the full-suspension bike, especially if you are able it. You need to know that problematic tails without rear suspension could be light and more efficient. On the other give, whole suspension models may become more comfortable. Irrespective of this, they may have greater control.
Find your favorites
You can't examine each element of two mountain bikes. Associated with that, you will find lots of combinations. Specialists claim that you locate several vital parts for comparison needs. You must select your favorites centered in your price range. You might begin with the wheels, shell, or the trunk derailleur.
Get a good deal
The prices of the mountain bike may vary throughout the year. The purchase year starts from spring and remains during summer. You can save your self some cash if you can hang on before the price is right. You can also find some shops that provide discounts in addition to select items and services. There's no hurt in getting from past decades'versions provided it meets your needs.
Choose a great supplier
You must locate a great supplier since it's more important. Finding a great supplier must be your priority. The supplier must promote you the proper product, maybe not probably the most high priced one. Good merchants run restoration shops, and they are trustworthy.
Check flights
You must check to drive a lot of bicycles, but ensure that they drop in your riding design and price range. While screening various bicycles, you will discover that some of them sense better. Check flights can help you get the best mountain bike.
Do some research
If you want to know about the reliability and performance of a mountain bike, you might want to see product reviews. Ensure you read on the bike ahead of getting it www.ThePunder.com.
So, when you have been seeking to discover the best mountain cycling, we claim that you see these tips. With these tips, you could be more likely to get your practical the best product. Trust this helps.
Mountain Bicycle Components
We get lots of points for granted. The blissful luxury to be indoors if we select, access to food, power, and light. What many individuals do not understand is that whenever you go hill cycling, these exact things are no further shut at hand. You're maybe not playing on your terms anymore since it enables face it, climate changes. Water, breeze, quick lack of light, heat modify, and finding missing are obstacles that folks face on the trails. Outdoor sports are a challenge, and we love them due to it. Planning forward for a great hill bicycle ride will make the big difference between a great one and one you want you can forget.
They're a good idea to do a bit of preparation concerning the kind of journey that you will embark on to find out the hill bicycle extras that you'll need. Examining the current weather before a long trip is essential, and reports are not generally correct. A small flip poncho is an absolute must-have for just about any journey in the woods since occasionally, finding moist may destroy points instantly. A current trip where my bunch got drenched in the trunk of the vehicle before I could reach it led to a damp pillow and some wet gear. Thankfully, all crucial things were in plastic Ziploc bags, and the bunch was lined with three linked garbage bags. None the less, the next occasion, the whole pack is finding a bunch protects since moist equipment stinks.
They're crucial to create the best hill bicycle extras with you; therefore, nothing can place a wrench in your things to speak. Carry a moisture bunch with added room for the poncho, bicycle tools, bicycle push, added tire tube, path combine or granola bars, a compass and maps, torch, and shades. Water is essential since cycling may dehydrate you quickly. When I get away with it, I carry two water bottles and remove the moisture bladder as I do not need it. On very long rides, it will be essential, however. A moisture bunch with added pockets is a superb investment to hold all of the equipment, and it will be designed to supply you with the best level of stability and ease to take care of it.
Moisture-wicking apparel has come to consider ways recently and dries quickly after being drenched with rain or sweat. A garment that holds moisture like cotton would have been a disgusting hindrance, and if it is cold, it can make you stiffer. Filthy clothes are difficult to repair once they get that way. Though I didn't think I wanted them initially, I am finding bicycle gloves to become an excellent addition to the hill bicycle equipment collection. They lower the influence from your handlebars from jarring trails, and if you drop down, the great abs or leather area can decrease abrasion from the fall.
Every time I go out for a journey, I understand anything new that I didn't know before, and that'll make the experience better. I find a light solution to the bunch, a better or more successful solution to ride, or a new little bit of equipment that'll make points, therefore significantly easier. Research is critical and quarry boundaries on obsession www.ThePunder.com. I review all the most recent hill bicycle equipment on my website and like to talk with others about how exactly they ride and what they find works. Sharing is essential in that game, and I love telling everyone all the small secrets to a great trip when I see them. End by for a tour!

TOR has gained notoriety as the Internet's dodgiest neighborhood, where freedom fighters plot revolution and scoundrels sell drugs, swap child porn, or buy harvested organs. Now the hidden corner of the Internet is starting to gentrify as mainstream companies such as Facebook, Deutsche Telekom, and browser pioneer Mozilla seek to do business there.
TOR, an abbreviation for the Onion Router, was set up by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory more than a decade ago to let U.S. operatives communicate securely and give people in authoritarian countries anonymity online. In recent years it's become popular with crooks, too. The network was home to Silk Road, the notorious online drug bazaar whose founder on Feb. 4 was convicted of U.S. charges of money laundering, computer hacking, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics.
As the number of people using TOR quadrupled in the past four years, to about 2 million a day, companies began to see the network as an important place to reach consumers. TOR blocks advertisers, cookies, and other third parties from tracing users' IP addresses by randomly moving the data through a network of more than 6,000 computers. Facebook in October unveiled a website in the .onion domain—a special Web address that can be accessed only via the TOR browser. "TOR's uncensored network feels more like the old Internet," says Jamie Bartlett, head of social media analysis at U.K. policy researcher Demos.
Getting on TOR is relatively straightforward—a user simply has to download the TOR browser software. Mozilla wants to incorporate TOR into its Firefox browser. Publications such as the Washington Post and the Guardian have drop boxes on TOR where whistle-blowers can submit tips anonymously. New York City lawyer Tor Ekeland (no relation), who specializes in Internet and computer cases, says he uses TOR to ensure client information and correspondence is confidential. "One of the top targets of a national security agency in any country is a law firm, because we have tons of confidential information on business deals," Ekeland says.
The corporate interest in TOR could eventually overload the network, which is equipped to handle 10 million users a day. Mozilla says its engineers are evaluating changes to Firefox to make TOR faster and easier to use. Andrew Lewman, executive director of the TOR Project, a nonprofit in Cambridge, Mass., that oversees the network, says his group is working with Mozilla to boost TOR's capacity, possibly by making every computer running Firefox part of TOR's network.
While Firefox and other browsers already have privacy features, such as the "Incognito" option on Google's Chrome, those settings typically do little more than delete passwords and cookies while continuing to give advertisers access to user data. Facebook and Mozilla declined to comment on their TOR plans beyond their published statements. Google didn't respond to requests for comment.
A presence on TOR will help corporations bolster their credentials among people interested in keeping the government from monitoring their Internet use, according to George Danezis, a professor of security and privacy engineering at University College London. Once they're more confident the network can handle greater commercial traffic, more companies will open sites there, he says. "A lot of companies want to show they were targets of the government, not the collaborators," Danezis says.
Companies mulling a move to TOR should weigh the reputational risk, says Elias Manousos, chief executive officer of software security firm RiskIQ. "The possibility for brand damage is certainly real," Manousos says.
As mainstream companies open sites on TOR, they'll help clean up its image, says Rik Ferguson, vice president for security research at software company Trend Micro. He says commercial applications will "serve to legitimize TOR in the popular consciousness, demonstrating that there are plenty of noncriminal uses for such a service."

The economic crisis has turned into a serious political crisis, with conflict among and within E.U. member states threatening both European integration and domestic stability. In 2014, we convened a transatlantic group of leading scholars of international and comparative political economy to collaborate and present research on the political economy of the current crisis. Comparative Political Studies (CPS) has just published our findings as a special issue. So what did we learn??
Lesson 1: The euro zone crisis looks a lot like other balance of payment crises
The euro zone crisis is unusual. It involves a single currency shared by many countries with widely divergent macroeconomic conditions and little centralized financial regulation. The E.U. has no fiscal policy coordination — and it lacks a credible no-bailout commitment. These factors came together to bring the euro zone close to collapse.
But the crisis played out in pretty much the same way as other balance-of-payments crises over the past two centuries. Here's the typical pattern. A country borrows heavily from abroad and uses the money for current consumption rather than investment. Then the economy expands rapidly, creating a bubble that eventually bursts.
That's what happened in Europe.
The countries of Northern Europe lent massive amounts of capital to less-wealthy countries on the periphery. There was a boom in some countries — Ireland, Spain, and other countries built a lot of housing, for instance — and overspending in others, such as Greece and Portugal. As the 2007-2009 global financial crisis accelerated, this bubble burst, triggering the euro zone crisis and leaving peripheral countries owing far more money to Northern European creditors than they could pay off.
Politics during the euro zone crisis have also followed the patterns seen in past financial crises. Countries and groups have squared off in bitter domestic and international conflicts. They have battled over how to share the burden of adjustment. At the domestic level, the crisis has polarized public debate, fueled tensions over reform, and increased support for extremist parties.
At the international level, the crisis triggered harsh debates over International Monetary Fund (IMF) and E.U. bailouts, about the need for common banking regulation for the entire euro zone, about immigration, and over how debtor and creditor countries can make the necessary sacrifices to resolve the crisis and restore economic growth. The authors of the CPS special issue analyze these conflicts using the tools of comparative and international political economy.
Lesson 2: Monetary union raises the political stakes
What's really different in the euro zone is that the crisis occurred within the context of monetary union and European integration. The response to the crisis, both by individual countries and by the E.U. as a whole, has unleashed bitter debates over the future of the euro. As others have noted in the Monkey Cage, the European Central Bank, European Council, and other central authorities have now taken on a more powerful role. And creditor countries such as Germany now wield far more power within the E.U.
The crisis has also fueled broader debates about "Grexit" and "Brexit" — the possibility that Greece might leave the euro zone and the U.K. might pull out of the EU altogether — which would rattle the very foundations of European integration.
Lesson 3: The underlying problems of European monetary union never went away
The economic and political problems of adopting a single currency were largely predictable and broadly foreseen prior to the launch of the euro. These problems have once again come to the fore. In the run-up to the introduction of the euro in 1999, domestic politics in the E.M.U. member states made it impossible to get an agreement on the policies and institutions that might have avoided the crisis — such as deeper fiscal policy and regulatory cooperation. The third lesson is that ignoring those earlier warning signs was a mistake.
Since 2010, European and national policymakers have pursued piecemeal responses to try to prevent a collapse of the euro zone, but they have been unable to resolve the basic causes of the crisis. Member countries face wildly differing macroeconomic situations and opposition to further integration (including the rise of new "Euroskeptic" parties) is widespread.
The euro zone is at an impasse. It now seems to be on track to emulate Japan, which has been stagnating since the 1990s. Japan still struggles with the impact of its "lost decades" — too much debt, an aging population, and persistent deflation. The euro zone's problems today appear disturbingly similar.
In addition to Europe's debt problems, "secular stagnation" is the other big threat. Many member states face decades of grinding deflation, long-term unemployment, and stagnation. There's no easy way to kickstart economic growth. The future threatens to bring not just lost decades, but lost generations.
None of this bodes well for the future of European monetary integration. Economic stagnation and the refugee crisis will increase political support for anti-euro and anti-E.U. parties throughout Europe. Jones, Kelemen, and Meunier argue in the concluding paper of the CPS special issue that "failing forward" through half-baked policy responses to the most pressing euro zone problems will not fix this crisis.
Lesson 4: Monetary union doesn't work without fiscal and regulatory coordination
The final lesson is that European policymakers need to make some major changes to ensure the euro's viability. To maintain the monetary union, the euro zone needs a true lender of last resort, deeper coordination on fiscal policy, and increased labor mobility among E.M.U. members. Will this mean the members move towards a more formal fiscal and political union? Clearly, the euro will not survive if nothing changes.
Current political and economic debates in Europe closely mirror those of the United States from the 1790s through the 1860s. Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson clashed over whether the federal government should take on state debts; the country split over the First and Second Banks of the United States; and American monetary union was not completed until the 1870s. The U.S. experience shows that crafting a functioning economic and monetary union is a long, hard road, requiring regions and groups to make difficult compromises.
European policymakers may not be able to solve the continent's current problems. The major obstacles are political rather economic. There are no technical barriers to any of the solutions to the euro zone crisis: debt restructuring, coordinated fiscal stimulus, harmonized financial regulation, just as a start. But until there's political agreement on how to proceed, the euro zone's long-term future remains uncertain.

Dual diagnosis is a complex health care issue that can confuse family members and, in some cases, health care professionals as well. That's because those suffering a dual diagnosis are dealing with multiple, distinct mental health problems at once. This reality can make treatment and care especially difficult.
Unfortunately, dual diagnosis is more common than most might assume. The National Alliance on Mental Illness reported that over 7.9 million Americans struggle with two or more diagnosable mental health conditions.
Even worse, many of those individuals are not receiving the right type of treatment to meet the needs of their complex mental health problems.
It's no surprise then that there are many unanswered questions about dual diagnosis. This blog seeks to clear up much of that confusion, help family members understand the signs of a dual diagnosis and show them how to get the right type of treatment for their loved ones.
Dual Diagnosis Explained
The most likely scenario that health care professionals refer to when they use the term "dual diagnosis" is one where an individual is dealing with a mental health issue like depression and a substance abuse problem at the same time. Addiction is recognized by the psychiatric field as its own form of mental health illness that requires unique treatment strategies.
The issue of treatment becomes increasingly complex when patients are dealing with multiple mental health challenges. Each person's mixture of symptoms and psychological triggers is unique and many of the overlapping problems associated with their two mental health problems can make traditional treatment methods ineffective.
For example, an individual struggling with depression may use a stimulant drug, such as cocaine, to combat their symptoms and change their mood. When the cocaine leaves their system, however, their anxiety levels are likely to rise as their body returns to normal.
This series of events may in turn make the individual's depression symptoms more frequent and severe, encouraging them to use more and more cocaine.
The vicious cycle of substance abuse and mental health symptoms would also put the individual at a higher risk for a dangerous overdose. It's just one of many possibilities that puts those suffering from a dual diagnosis in a greater predicament than those dealing with a single mental health problem.
Undiagnosed Mental Illness and Self-Medicating
Another scenario that creates increased health risks for individuals is the intersection of a developing substance abuse habit and an untreated mental health problem. It is not uncommon for individuals who are suffering from symptoms of an untreated or undiagnosed mental illness to use alcohol or recreational drugs to feel more normal.
This self-medicating strategy puts users at an incredible risk, however. The use of addictive drugs will ramp up quickly if an individual begins using the drug as their go-to response to uncomfortable mental health symptoms.
By the time the individual even realizes they are dealing with a serious mental health problem like bipolar disorder they may have already developed a strong dependence on an addictive substance. If a person was already experimenting with drugs as their mental health symptoms manifested, then they too are at a higher risk for developing a full blown chemical dependency.
What Mental Health Problems Are Commonly Part of Dual Diagnosis?
Being informed about dual diagnosis and the mental health problems that may arise with drug abuse is crucial. This information helps individuals and their loved ones to spot the beginnings of a dual diagnosis threat before it spirals out of control.
The following mental health problems are among those most frequently exacerbated by substance addiction:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
- Bipolar Disorder
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- Bulimia
- Anorexia
Alcohol is easily the most commonly abused substances included in a dual diagnosis, in large part because of how accessible it is. It is far from the only one. The following is a list of addictive substances that are known to worsen or even be a catalyst for advanced mental health symptoms:
- Alcohol
- Cocaine
- Marijuana
- Benzodiazepines
- Prescription opioid pain-relief drugs
How Do Addiction Recovery Centers Treat Dual Diagnosis?
Not every addiction recovery treatment center is prepared to help individuals dealing with a dual diagnosis. Identifying how an individual's varied symptoms interact with one another or may create problems for treatment is an important part of the process. This requires analysis and input from experienced health care specialists.
Failure to treat both of the patient's mental health problems at once will ultimately result in a high chance of the patient experiencing mental health symptoms and addiction habits returning somewhere down the road.
That's why it's so important to identify a dual diagnosis treatment center with the right health care strategies, experienced professionals with psychiatric backgrounds, and a positive track record of helping those individuals struggling with dual diagnosis.
What To Look For In Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Interested in learning more about the best dual diagnosis treatment centers? Want to speak with a professional for detailed answers to difficult questions? It may be time to start realistically investigating possible treatment programs. Here are a few things to look for to make sure you're on the right track when identifying a treatment program:
- Staff that can speak to the specifics of dual diagnosis
- Cognitive therapy treatments available
- Behavioral therapy treatment available
- Individual and group therapy programs
Achieving Successful Long-Term Recovery
The longer one hesitates when it comes to dual diagnosis treatment, the more danger there is for long-term, potentially fatal outcomes.
Likewise, the longer one waits to get a mental health issue diagnosed, the more likely an individual may turn to self-medicating to treat their symptoms. The longer one waits to seek treatment for a dual diagnosis, the harder it will become for an increasingly complex set of mental health problems to be treated.
The sooner an individual recognizes the full scope of their problem and receives treatment from an experienced professional, the sooner they are on the path to a lasting recovery. Don't put it off any longer.

For Immediate Release
Mike Litt, Consumer Campaign Director, U.S. PIRG, 202-461-3830; 702-427-1608, firstname.lastname@example.com
As Senators Consider Confirming Kathy Kraninger to Run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, More than 100 groups Release Online Video to Defend the CFPB
Video's message: Kathy Kraninger lacks a pro-consumer track record, but the CFPB's ability to protect consumers is still intact; Congress poses the long-term threat
WASHINGTON - As the Senate Banking Committee begins a scheduled confirmation hearing for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director nominee Kathy Kraninger, U.S. PIRG and 103 other groups representing consumers, small businesses, students, and workers, released an online video on Twitter and Facebook about the current state of the CFPB.
The nomination of Kraninger, who lacks a track record protecting consumers in the financial marketplace, follows troubling actions by the Bureau under Mick Mulvaney's interim directorship, including:
- announcing its intention to reconsider and delay its payday lending rule.
- dropping its lawsuit against four online lenders it had accused of deceiving consumers by collecting debts not legally owned.
- considering hiding its consumer complaint database from public view.
If the next CFPB director continues the Bureau's trajectory under Mr. Mulvaney, as documented in numerous articles, we can expect a slow-down in consumer protections at the Consumer Bureau over the next few years.
"What you might be missing from the bad headlines is that the ability of the Consumer Bureau to protect consumers is largely still intact. That's thanks to Americans voicing their concerns to Congress for the last seven years and making sure that enough senators block efforts funded by Wall Street to strip the Bureau of its ability to protect consumers," Mike Litt, U.S. PIRG's Consumer Campaign Director, explains in the video.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
Some highlights of the CFPB's first seven years include:
- Returning $12.4 billion to more than 31 million consumers cheated by illegal practices conducted by credit card and mortgage companies, banks, debt collectors, and others.
- Processing more than 1.5 million consumer complaints across the country. Many of these complaints are published in the public database.
- Taking more than 180 legal actions against companies that broke the law, such as when Wells Fargo was caught creating millions of fake accounts.
- Creating special offices to protect students, seniors, servicemembers and persons at risk of unlawful discrimination.
- Posting guides on its website to help consumers make important financial decisions, including shopping for a home, taking out a loan, or planning for retirement.
The video points out that the long-term threat to consumers isn't whoever sits in the director's chair -- it's Congress, which has introduced more than a dozen bills designed to weaken or even get rid of the agency. Although this legislation hasn't passed on its own, anti-CFPB legislators are trying to sneak these provisions into budget bills.
"As long as we keep a filibuster in the Senate, a future director who believes in the Bureau's mission will still be able to carry that mission out. The Consumer Bureau will be able to keep Wall Street in check and ensure a fair and transparent marketplace for consumers and businesses alike, and without their hands tied behind their back. So let's keep speaking up," Litt said, to conclude the video.

THERE is nothing more antithetical to the academic project than table thumping, a common feature of current university life in South Africa, both from the right and from the left of the debate on transformation.
For a decade I have worked at Rhodes University in the field of philosophy, which has received much adverse media attention lately on the grounds that it is untransformed.
It's hard not to agree with the accusations if one understands the history of our discipline in South Africa and the extent to which the ideological underpinnings of the past form part of our present.
But to properly know what transformation is, we need to understand what the point of universities is and how it is that universities, Rhodes included, are not living up to what they could and should be.
Transformative efforts cannot stop with, for instance, name changes. Few people will defend the idea that we should be celebrating the legacy of Cecil John Rhodes. But changing the name of Rhodes University is surely not enough and, if this were all we did, we would be accused of advocating cosmetic change only.
Others, admittedly very few, seem to think universities such as mine should be razed for there is nothing redeemable about them. I disagree with this camp, but rather than engaging them in argument, I think it's incumbent on the academic community of South Africa to creatively and vigorously lead the way in constructive and open debate.
So, how should we think about transformation? Universities generally are not, and should not be, NGOs, organs of the state, bootcamps for revolutionaries or, for that matter, counter-revolutionaries.
And universities should not be degree-bestowing factories for students whose interest in understanding is merely incidental. That they are increasingly becoming this in South Africa and elsewhere is, in part, due to the lack of differentiation in the post-school sector, a problem to be tackled on another occasion. It's also due to a global culture that snuffs out curiosity that turns subjects into consumers guided by advertisement-induced hypnosis.
It is still the case today that if you want to earn a decent living, you almost certainly need a university degree. This puts pressure on universities to become what they are not meant to be. To make things worse, the worsening underfunding of universities compels them to become social mobility catalysts rather than places where understanding is fostered.
Universities should not be the homes of understanding for the sake of economic growth. This view places the cart before the horse. It is because universities have been spaces where largely disinterested inquiry can run wild that deep theorising about economic growth could arise in the first place.
People yearn to understand, yearn to make sense of it all. This is the dimension of our being that universities ought to cater for in the first instance. Universities are the ideal place where this yearning can take place in an unimpaired way. This is the ideal, but are we living up to it? I don't think so.
To address this question adequately brings us to the problem of transformation. To claim that universities must just transform is to claim that universities should be doing what they ought to be doing at their best, to be doing what is distinctive to them, what it is that we should ultimately want them to do.
So, what ought universities to be doing? I've already partly answered this question above: they are there to cater for the dimension of our lives that yearns to understand self, other and reality more generally. Understanding is the aim of universities. Other things, such as the practical utility derived from thinking deeply about how economic systems ought to work, are incidental, offshoots of the thirst for inquiry that is at the heart of university life.
So, if we are to move forward in our transformative efforts, we'd better make sure we possess sophisticated understandings of what understanding is. And we ought to make sure we don't assume we fully understand what it is to understand, thus leaving wiggle room for competing versions that will inform transformation.
Dogmatism, after all, is one of the principal impediments to understanding. There is nothing more antithetical to the academic project than table thumping.
Here is a picture of the understanding subject, the ideal academic, that I think we need to reject: the solitary disembodied inquirer who has no race, gender, class or history. This picture presupposes the idea that understanding is pure (whatever that means) and must, paradoxically, be protected from the actual contingencies that define life today. It is only in this manner, the thinking goes, that it can achieve the ideal of grasping universal truths.
This, I think, is a flawed picture and it's a picture that informs recalcitrant patterns that subtle Fallists seem to recognise. The problem with the disembodied solitary inquirer is that it's blind to ideology, that is, to largely implicit understandings of reality floating in the air of the times.
Ideologies, as I understand them here, are passively and largely subconsciously absorbed by individuals. These ideological frameworks mould people's lives and allow us to explain why, say, 21st century ways of being in South Africa are very different from ways of being in other times and places. Ideologies are unavoidable insofar as we are social creatures whose lives are driven by ideas.
Let me illustrate with a personal note: I was born in a sexist, racist and classist world, in Chile to be precise. Before I could even think straight, I acquired these prejudices. It took me many years to come to grasp these underpinnings and a significant proportion of my intellectual energies have been dedicated to struggling against these forces, these guiding pre-judgements that form the ideological framework within which my life was formed.
Ideology affects different disciplines in different ways and at different levels. But I would be surprised if there were any disciplines that were not informed by pre-judgments, by ways of seeing that we have absorbed before we could develop the critical capacities to resist them.

THE yen skidded by over 1 percent to hit a 2 1/2-week low against the dollar on Friday, after a report said the Bank of Japan was considering helping banks by applying negative rates to its lending program for financial institutions.
The BOJ may consider the new step if policymakers decide to lower further the negative 0.1 percent interest rate applied to some bank reserves parked with the central bank, Bloomberg reported on its website.
The yen, often used as a safe haven at times of market turbulence, has gained around 10 percent against the dollar JPY= since the end of January, even though the BOJ added negative interest rates to its stimulus program in February.
But it weakened 1.2 percent on Friday to 110.76 per dollar after the report, leaving it headed for its worst week in 12, with an almost 2 percent fall.

Rise of Women's Theatre in India!
In the 1970s, socially relevant theatre and the women's movement began to emerge. A number of tabooed issues found acceptance through theatre. In the 1980s and the 1990s women's question entered the Indian theatre scene in a big way. Though feminist theatre was an emergent cultural form in the 1970s it had its origin in the experimental theatre group and women's movement.
Women's theatre actually coalesces with the street theatre movement, using the same technique in performance and production. It can be termed a 'Theatre Of Protest' because women writers have expressed their resentment against the politics of exploitation on the basis of gender discrimination.
The Jan Natya Manch or People's Theatre Front (1973) of Safdar Hashmi performed the street play called Aurat (1979) which took up bride burning, wife battering and dowry as its theme. Women's theatre also revived the traditional myths of Sita and Savitri and tried to reinterpret the epics from the women's point of view.
The dramatic work of Usha Ganguli and Mahasweta Devi can be placed in this category. Mahasweta Devi emerged as a dramatist with a quest to explore something challenging and new. Her five plays are Mother of 1084, Aajer, Urvashi O' Johnny, Bayen and Water. The play Mother of 1084 is a moving account of the anguish of an apolitical mother who has witnessed the horrors of the naxalite movement.
In Aajir, Mahasweta Devi deals with the issue of the fast deterioration of values and their effects on society, particularly on illiterate people. Urvashi O' Johnny is a play on the love affair of Johnny with Urvashi, a talking doll. The play Bayen presents a moving account of the harsh reality of a woman's life in rural India. The play Water is the story of a professional water-diviner who is an untouchable boy. Her plays represent a profound concern for human predicament and a sincere hope for the better future of mankind.
Focus of the theatre on women-centred issues received a boost with the development of the Indian Peoples Theatre Movement or IPTA which was active from 1943. Poile Sengupta (English), Varsha Adalja (Gujarati), Manjula Padmanabhan (English), Tripurari Sharma (English and Hindi), Kusum Kumar (Hindi ), Gitanjali Shree (Hindi), Irpinder Bhatia (Hindi), Neelam Mansingh Chaudhury (Punjabi), Binodini (Telugu), B. Jyashree (Kannada), Shanoli Mitra (Bengali), Usha Ganguli (Hindi), Shanta Gandhi (Gujarati), Sushma Despande (Marathi), Veenapani Chawla (Marathi), and Qudsia Zadie (Urdu) are among some major women playwrights.
Subsequently there theatre festivals, workshops, and ideologically committed theatre groups celebrating the cause of women. These included Akka, the National Women's Theatre Festival held in Mysore, 2001. National Women's Theatre Festival organised by Yavanika, a theatre group based in Hyderabad; and National Workshop on Women, Poorva, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation organises yearly festivals.
Feminist theatre is the process of women's awareness and empowerment. Tripurari Sharma's Bahu (1979), the first play she ever wrote, deals with the subjugation of women. Traditional dramatic structures relied on invisible authors whereas a feminist theatre gave voice to the writer's own perceptions as a woman.
Pratima Kulkarini's directed play Smritichitre, a one-woman performance based on Laxmibai Tilak's autobiographical writings, is an example. Feminist theatre focuses on female characters and explores concepts/ themes of feminist drama, relationships, sisterhood, sexuality and female autonomy.
Rudali is based on Mahasweta Devi's fiction, adapted by Usha Ganguli of the Calcutta Theatre Group Rangkarmee in December 1992. Patriarchal traditions endorsed power hierarchies, main characters, and standard social/artistic roles but feminist theatre highlighted communal power structures.
The content of the plays have ranged from re-working of traditional myths to concern with social issues. Feminist plays deconstruct the emasculating structures of ancient legends and criticise the feminine myths that are prevalent in the social scene. Mainstream hero-centred literature and myth are seen as normalising contemporary patriarchal cultural values and feminist theatre seeks to overcome these.
Madhavi (1984) by Bhisham Sahani and Varsha Adalja's Mandodari debunk the myth but also create a new feminist reading of formerly patriarchal legends. The belief of feminist theatre is in the efficacy of theatre as a tool for conscientisation, for critiquing social disparities and for self-exploration and expression.
Usha Ganguli wrote Antaryatra (2002), a play in which she uses herself as a reference point to narrate the story of an actress's struggle through life. She explores the Indian woman's psyche here through her characters.
Jyoti Mhapsekar's Beti Aayee is a play with an all-female cast and it deals with women's issues. This play focuses on discrimination against the girl child. The theme is explored is through narration and the enactment.
The play Nati Binodini (Hindi) was presented by Theatre and Television Associates, Delhi, under the direction of Amal Allana (Allana has based the script on the English translation of Aamar Katha and Aamar Abhinetri Jeebon by Rimli Bhattacharya. It is based on the life of Nati Binodini who was the fifth woman in Bengal to become a professional actor, in the 19th century.
Embedded in the structure of many feminist plays is the argument that identity and gender are not fixed or innate but rather dynamic and culturally created. Umrao (in 1993) by Geetanjali Shree, an adaptation of Umrao fan Ada (1905), a novel in Urdu by Mohammad Hadi Ruswa, was based on the life of a courtesan and questioned the stereotypical image of the courtesan and of the woman as a sexual object, an embodiment of beauty and glamour, and as a victim.
Tripurari Sharma's Lado Mausi (1990) is a comedy that was inspired by Graham Greene's 'Travels with My Aunt'. Madhushree Dutta's Sundari explored how the performing arts can unbind the shackles of gender constraints. An Actor Prepares, produced by Majlis, received much critical acclaim and toured widely in India beginning 1998. The story is based on the autobiography of an early twentieth century female impersonator Jaishankar Sundari, active in Bombay (now, Mumbai) from 1901 to 1931.
Aur Kitne Tukde, B. Gauri's script, directed by Kirti Jain, based on Urvasi Butali's book on partition, The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India, looks at partition through the eyes of four female protagonists. The performance of nationalism—through embodied acts of sexual violence, conversion, martyrdom and state violence—is enacted upon female bodies that are transformed into political artifacts.
Feminist theatre was born out of an interaction between the experimental theatre movement of the 1960s and the feminist movement that was going on at the same time in the political arena. It was as much a political attempt as a theatrical one. Revisionist in spirit, it questioned orthodoxy.
It questioned the male-centred view of life and male-dominated discourse. A traditional dramatic structure would often hinge on exposition of complication/conflict and denouement. Women-centred drama is hinged on revelation and recognition of the perceptions on the differences between men and women. These devices along with a preference for non-linear plots and open ended conclusions as opposed to climaxes are just some of the elements that comprise feminist theatre.
Feminist theatre is a creative theatre that challenges representation of our dominant culture. The goal of almost all feminist theatre groups is to subvert expectations, to enable or initiate positive changes in women's lives through political and theatrical representations.
Feminist theatre is a cultural representation made by women and is informed by the perspective of its makers, its performers, its spectators and its critics whose aim is positive re-evaluation of women's role and/or to effect social change.
Theatre as a mode of intervention on women's behalf has meant departing from the conventional way of producing and staging plays. It has also meant addressing modes of performances, idioms of expression and representation of women, and using training in theatre for articulating the perception and aspiration of women. From creation of the script through improvisation and visualisation on to rehearsal, right up to performance and relating to the audience, the emphasis has been on collective function.
Feminist theatre aims at empowerment; it enables women to speak out, giving them voice. It is considered as being at the intersection of art, activism and social relevance. Feminist theatre is seen as an instrument of real change in women's lives.

I wasn't sure that last answer satisfied my curiosity...
My question is, Can I take some of my first crop of potatoes - which I am harvesting now - and turn them into seed for a later crop this year? They are Yukons. If I can, I would like to plant another crop as soon as possible.
Or, because my first crop is considered "early earlies", will they not make good seed for a late season crop? Anybody know?

In the past it always felt like we'd just lost out on our big chance...
This time it feels like this will only make us stronger.
From here we het to set the tone
Go to Madrid with it in our own hands and win the Champions league final
Strengthen the right areas with 3 or 4 top quality players in the summer
Beat City and beat them well in the charity shield
Start next season continuing our run of back to back wins, hopefully playing City away early and beat them and beat them well again
Keep stringing together back to back wins

In the past it always felt like we'd just lost out on our big chance...
This time it feels like this will only make us stronger.
Well boys and girls, just the one big one to go.
I'm a bit of a long-time lurker, don't post very often, but enjoy reading the conversations and the banter (well, most of it). So at the end of the league campaign, thanks to all of you 'proper' posters - it's been a blast (and the negative wassocks have had to shut up, great). Here's hoping for the big finish.
Brilliant as he is, for us to be even more ruthless and clinical we HAVE to work on Mo passing the ball more to players in much better positions, instead of attempting the impossible, yeah it's brilliant when it comes off, but it comes off about 1 in 30 times, at least 15 of those times there's a player in a far better position, who if they only scored 1 out of 3 times, would still give us 4 more goals, the golden boot isn't everything. We were credited in several news outlets after the 4-0 win against Barcelona as making the game entirely about the team again as no other side has managed in years with the age of the star player, well Mane also finished with 22 Premier League goals this season and he passed it almost every time one of our players was in a better position, if that favour has been equally return he's be walking away with the golden boot, no superstars in this team next season, the team's the superstar and the team scoring as many goals as possible and winning as many games as possible is the be all and end all
Rotation of the forward as we did v Barcelona, it needs doing more often in games, Mane's equally as good on either side, when it's not quite happening move Mo left for a 10 minute spell, tell him to get some low balls and cut backs in for Mane and the midfielders, tell him to open the channel and lay it back for Robbo to drill in a powerful shot along the deck to either bottom corner, or curl a short cross for Mane through the channel, or play a 5 yard slide rule through the channel either to the penalty spot or as a return ball for Mo and have Robbo practice those shots after training. These are all ways we can score more goals and win a lot more football games, only ever using Mo inside right or central is a criminal waste
"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains
I really noticed it today.....if he put it into the box quickly like Robbo and Trent he would add a lot of assists to his golden boots
But now hes doing what most people do...cutting in from the wing which actually slows down the attack

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.........and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Jurgen said himself "There are 500,000 ways to win a football match" well in my post you quoted there are 5 or 6 right there we've never once tried using all season
Origi seems to play a lot better on the right of the 3, so when he starts why not at least give him 20 minutes there with Mane and Salah interchanging between LF and CF and inside right when Origi's wide right? Try different things to move opposition defences around. What was wrong, especially with that sun being a pain for Wolves second half like it was for us first half, with standing some balls up wide right to Origi's head for him to try and knock down behind their defence for Mane and/or Salah coming through the channels between their 3 cb's? Or nod backwards to Hendo to attempt a slide rule, a short cross or a shot for Mane or Salah?
I've named over 20 different ways to potentially win a football match with the players we had out today right now that we never even tried today, they are all 'possibilities' to win football matches we need to do a lot more work on, in training and in pre-season, because at times we've drawn games because we don't utilise these things and instead conduct a war of attrition doing exactly the same thing over and over and over believing something would give eventually and a few draws too many it didn't. We need to work on ways to mix it up better for 5 or 10 minute spells to continue developing and giving teams some proper good hidings next season so we'll start to become the team they don't turn up against.
Spurs know how we play all to well, might be worth working on some of these things in the next 2 and a half weeks. And re the world class and the impossible coming off 1 in 30 times for Mo, a forward, the goal Kompany scored that clinched the title for City was his 39th shot from outside the box in either his entire career or his City career, he's a cb and his ratio's almost as good. And Barcelona second leg, we hardly gave Messi a kick, but when he got it he made the right decision every time, sent Coutinho, Suarez and Alba through with a perfectly weighted pass with his only 3 opportunities to, drove forward and won the free kick when that was his only option and tested Allisson twice on 2 of his 3 opportunities to, that's world class, every single thing he did when he got the opportunity to was the right decision
"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains
So there it is. After 38 games and 30 wins, with just one defeat by the narrowest of margins, the final whistle ended the dream, this time around at least.
I went today with no great expectations. 97 points was the sum of my ambitions. But for an all too brief moment in that first half, we allowed ourselves to think that yet another miracle was about to bless Anfield. We all know the rest.
The lads struggled today, perhaps knowing that it wasnt to be, maybe finding the occasion a bit flat after Tuesdays heroics. But, like so many other times this season, they pulled enough out of the hat to get the result. Full credit to the squad; theyve confounded me time and time again this season. That final whistle felt like an inevitable hammer blow, and momentarily the wind was blown from our sails. We recovered to give the ovation that these players deserve, and they in turn rewarded us with a somewhat reflective almost subdued lap of honour. At least the kids were happy out there.
Im praying that the lap of honour in Madrid is a celebration.
Thanks for the match threads lads. YNWA
I bet you can squeal like a pig!
There was no way they were walking the league again. We pushed them to the very last game, they haven't got any better but we have. All the signs are there for us to go one better next time. Hopefully as European champions.
There are only 2 teams in Liverpool. Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves. (Bill Shankly)
It would have helped the lads immensely if 70% of the ground were actually getting behind them and watching them play instead of pissing around on their fucking phones more interested in what was happening at Brighton

I have the hardest time with shoes. I always get blisters, or my feet start to hurt. I've been wearing these sandals for the last three years and they're the only shoes that never give me any problems. I can walk ten miles in them with no problem, and even considering that I wear them every day during the summer, they're still in pretty good condition.
