Fifteen Photographers at a Crossroads
A crossing implies movement across a physical border, but a photograph can also depict personal crossroads that lead to growth and change. Pictures can be transformative in their ability to deepen one's sense of selfhood, or expand their understanding of identity. From Joel Meyerowitz to Susan Meiselas, Aperture and Magnum photographers have long demonstrated how photographs can spark change, both literal and metaphoric.
This week, for five days only, get signed and estate-stamped, museum-quality, 6-by-6-inch prints by acclaimed Aperture and Magnum photographers for $100 each. Use this link to make your purchase and a percentage of each sale will support Aperture Foundation. Visit Aperture Gallery through November 2 to view Crossings, a special exhibition hosted by Airbnb Magazine, featuring photographs from the sale.
Alessandra Sanguinetti
"Back in 1998 when I started taking pictures of Belinda and Guillermina, I asked Belinda what she thought she would have been like had she been a boy. She didn't hesitate. She painted a mustache with a burnt cork, took off her shirt and looked straight at the camera." —Alessandra Sanguinetti
Kwame Brathwaite
"This is a picture of Sikolo Brathwaite, my wife and muse. The headpiece, inspired by South African beadwork, was designed by Carolee Prince, whose exquisite beadwork was also worn by Nina Simone and can be seen in many of my photos. This picture is part of the 'Black Is Beautiful' narrative—an embrace of African ancestry and unifying the black experience around the globe." —Kwame Brathwaite
Nan Goldin
"I was addicted to OxyContin for four years. I overdosed but I came back. I decided to make the personal political. I've started a group called P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now) to address the opioid crisis. We are a group of artists, activists and addicts that believe in direct action. We target the Sackler family, who manufactured and pushed OxyContin, through the museums and universities that carry their name. We speak for the 250,000 bodies that no longer can." —Nan Goldin
The photographer's proceeds from the sale of this print will help fund the work of P.A.I.N.
Joel Meyerowitz
"A girl on a Vespa on her way to 'who knows where,' when the light stopped her at the 72nd street crossing near the Dakota, where John Lennon would one day cross paths with his fate. She takes this moment to finesse a fingernail before she resumes her downtown journey, while I, stopping at the same crossing, but on foot, leap into the street to capture this vision of a dream girl before time takes her on her way." —Joel Meyerowitz
Mary Ellen Mark
"Photographing the Indian circus was one of the most beautiful, joyous, and special times of my career. I was allowed to document a magic fantasy that was, at the same time, all so real. It was full of ironies, often humorous and sometimes sad, beautiful and ugly, loving and at times cruel, but always human. The Indian circus is a metaphor for everything that has always fascinated me visually." —Mary Ellen Mark, excerpt from Indian Circus (1993)
Pete Souza
"I had covered numerous protests and rallies on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. But the Million Man March surpassed all of those as an unforgettable experience. Hundreds of thousands of African American men gathered en masse for a peaceful rally, stretching from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument. . . . I saw these two adult men with their sons, the golden light illuminating the Capitol. It was a symbolic moment of reflection, for them but also for me, on what this day meant." —Pete Souza
Bruce Davidson
"You're looking at Lefty and his girlfriend, members of a Brooklyn gang who referred to themselves as 'The Jokers,' on a trip to Bear Mountain State Park. This photograph is not meant to be risqué. These were young, teenage kids who had a great deal of spirit, energy and love in lives that were reckless, unstable and oftentimes dangerous. . . .
The gang was completely out of their element. No mean streets, not a worry on their minds, just time to explore themselves and their surroundings. They were free, and it was captivating."
—Bruce Davidson
Bieke Depoorter
"October 2017: I wandered around at night in Paris, looking for . . . someone that could help me translate the atmosphere in my mind with a story that would partially be theirs as well. The result, 'Agata,' is an ongoing project about a young woman I met at a striptease bar one of those nights, in which I explore my interest in collaborative portraiture. . . .
As Agata once wrote to me: 'I am going to give you myself, and you will wrap it with Bieke, and I believe something beautiful can be created.'" —Bieke Depoorter
Chien-Chi Chang
"Humans need to hold hope in their hands. This man was willing to live in poverty in hope of prosperity. . . . A few years later, this man was able to bring his family to New York, and today they are living the American dream. He is now a grandfather! But is economic prosperity worth the social cost? Perhaps the answers to such questions can be found in the lives of the people left behind in China and in those of the second and third generations who are growing up in the United States. Look at them and listen to their voices. You may not understand their language, but you can feel their longing." —Chien-Chi Chang
Olivia Arthur
"I photographed Nikhil for my project 'In Private, Bombay,' an exploration of privacy, sexuality and the changing atmosphere in the city of Mumbai. . . . At the time there was a contradictory atmosphere in the city. At once an opening up of voices, boldness and desire to talk about sexuality. Yet, at the same time, there was growing Hindu conservatism and seeming regression across the country. The combination of audacity and intolerance made for a feeling of friction as well as excitement." —Olivia Arthur
Susan Meiselas
"In 1977, I followed the men who performed as Santa Claus to raise funds for the Volunteers of America. They were recovering alcoholics, ringing bells on the street all day long. On Fifth Avenue, they crossed the lives of those who would never look at them otherwise." —Susan Meiselas
Justine Kurland
"The first condition of freedom is the ability to move at will, and sometimes that means getting into a car rather than getting out of one. It's difficult to describe the joy of a carload of girls, going somewhere with the radio turned up and the windows rolled down. . . . At last we arrive at a view, a place where the landscape opens up—a place to plant a garden, build a home, picture a world. They spill out of the car along with candy wrappers and crushed soda cans, bounding into the frame, already becoming a photograph." —Justine Kurland
Ethan James Green
"I was drawn to these three guys together. There was something alternative about them. They reminded me of myself when I was younger, all serious about doing the hair and the clothes. . . . I found it interesting the way they threw their arms around each other, in a place where male friendships seem to be expressed much more intimately than they are in the United States. I like this picture too because, when you look for a moment, you see that they all have smartphones in their hands. This detail seems right. Boys the same age all over the world who see this picture will understand exactly what's going on and relate to it." —Ethan James Green
The photographer's proceeds from the sale of this print will be donated to Operation Smile.
Graciela Iturbide
"I was in my car on the highway to Guanajuato, and suddenly I saw this flock of birds. I love birds, for me they represent freedom." —Graciela Iturbide
Alex Webb
"I've long been fascinated by the transience and paradoxes of the U.S.-Mexico border. Even though these two countries were culturally worlds apart, it sometimes seemed that the border region was a kind of third country between them—2,000 miles long and 10 miles wide, a place where two countries meet, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly, and often with a confounding note of surrealism. . . .
In 1995, while walking through the outskirts of Tijuana, I was surprised to find this box of brightly colored shoes, which seemed so out of place on this dusty, isolated embankment. . . . Was there a market here earlier—and these shoes left behind? . . . In my bad Spanish, I asked a passer-by if he knew. The old man just shrugged his shoulders.
To this day, this surreal scene remains a mystery." —Alex Webb

During a regular Hopper day, the children are lead through a routine including daily passwords, morning messages, sign in centres, circle time learning bins, and attendance cards. Literacy is taught through a variety of carefully chosen games, songs, and activities that provide children with an active and fun learning experience. All of our educational centres are carefully planned to provide children with an exciting hand-on learning experience that touch on activities in all areas of learning including math, science, literacy, technology and the arts.
The Program is an interactive and fun program with carefully planned activities and educational equipment to aid in the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of young children. Through music and movement, children are guided through daily routines and transitions. Children will be engaged ineducational games and activities including parachute play, dramatic play, songs, stories, rythmic dancing, ball play, instrument play and bubble time. Children will learn the social and cognitive skills necessary for their success in future preschool and kindergarten programs while advancing their physical skills with our wide array of gross motor equipment. Learning can be fun and at Tiny Hoppers we have mastered how to teach children effectively through music and play!
Hopper teachers must attend a yearly training course that is designed to teach them how most effectively to teach literacy to young children and how to best promote literacy in their classrooms. Our curriculum is theme based which helps us to focus our learning activities on themes and activities that the children find most interesting. Although the Tiny Hoppers' curriculum is carefully laid out in detail, teachers are encouraged to enhance their program with additional activities based on the individual needs and interests of the children in their group. These new activities and ideas are then shared with all Hopper staff, across the city, through a private teacher Blog which is a resource that our teachers use to come up with new and exciting ideas for their classrooms. At Hoppers we work as a team to make sure that we provide the most exciting, energetic, and fun learning environment for your child.

Wednesdays With Mija
I know it's only Wednesday, but I'm already making plans for the weekend.
Here's my idea of the perfect afternoon. You'll find me on the deck, in the chair, or a pot.
What about you?
How do you plan to get some rest and enjoy this glorious season?
P.S. In truth my week days and weekends look a lot alike. It's one of the perks of being a cat.

While working with a tenth grade client recently, I suggested that we take thirty minutes some day before his boarding school interviews to polish his presentation a bit. That opportunity occurred yesterday, and most of the recommendations I imparted could certainly never be considered profound. However, in their simplicity, they may deserve recounting here.
First things first. Don't appear for your interview chewing gum. Don't wear blue jeans. Avoid clothing with advertising or any kind of message, political or otherwise. (Labels should be on the inside!)
Entering the admissions office, hold the door for your parents. When the admissions officer enters the room to greet you, stand up, then offer your hand for a firm – but not excessive – handshake, all while making eye contact. It sounds more difficult than it is. Really.
On tour, keep in mind that anything troubling you choose to mention to the tour guide will find its way back to your file. ("Are they tough on drugs around here?") Be sure to have scoured the school's website before the interview, so that you can ask questions that are significant when it counts most. (The adage that there is no such thing as a dumb question simply isn't true.)
The word "like" is appropriate in some conversational applications, but it was never intended to be used as a way to fill space with noise. Overuse of the word "like" has become a plague of the young and suggests other terms, like "nit wit." If you possess the ability to turn off such word usage when need arises, consider doing so during your interviews.
Finally, one-word answers won't earn many points for you in an interview. Questions asked are designed to provide you with opportunities to tell your story, so take full advantage of that occasion. Good luck!

The Plim Plaza Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland has been required by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to consult a water expert in order to develop a water treatment plan before it opens next season, according to media reports. As part of the plan, the hotel's water will allegedly be tested every six months.
The question remains, however, why the hotel did not have an effective plan in the first place, one which could have prevented the legionella infection amongst several guests of the hotel. If the hotel did already have a plan in place, then why did it fail? If there was no plan – why not?

URUMQI, May 25 (Xinhua) -- A former governor of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has urged thorough eradication of terrorism for the region's stability.
Thirty-nine innocent people were killed and 94 others injured in the deadliest terror attack in Xinjiang in recent years when two vehicles plowed into crowds of an open market and set off explosive devices in the regional capital Urumqi on Thursday morning.
The attack was "an organized, premeditated serious violent terrorist case with careful masterminding, sudden execution and of an extremely vile nature", said Ismail Tiliwaldi in a bylined article published on www.ts.cn, an official website sponsored by the regional authorities.
The horrific crime must be given the severest condemnation, said Tiliwaldi, former chairman of Xinjiang government and former deputy chairman of the standing committee of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.
We must harshly punish terror crimes and always maintain the high-handed crackdown on terrorist forces and resolutely eradicate the hotbed of violent terrorism, he said in the article.
The instigators and executors of the May 22 attack, selected a crowded public venue, rammed into people wilfully and set off blasts targeting defenseless and unguarded citizens, he said.
They vainly attempted to attract attention through a large-scale bloody incident and maliciously sow ethnic estrangement and cause hatred and opposition to achieve their criminal plot of separating the country, said the article.
Combining ethnic separatism, religious extremism with violent terrorism, the criminal gangs represented by "East Turkistan" terrorism forces have continuously committed serious violent crimes in recent years, severely infringed the safety of lives and properties of people of all ethnic groups, it added.
They have increasingly turned into a cancer imperiling economic development and social stability, said the article.
"We must always be clear-headed and fully aware of the long-term, arduous and complicated struggle against the 'three forces' [terrorism, separatism and extremism], with all measures including the mobilization of everyday people and the strengthening of anti-terrorism forces in information technology and international cooperation," it said.
Fund chains and communication channels which terrorist forces rely on must be cut off and the root of terrorism and religious extremism must be eradicated, said the article.

BANGOR CITY'S new manager Steve Bleasedale has his sights on a top-five position in the league and a longer term aim of European qualification.
Although he was brought back to earth by Tuesday's 3-1 FAW Premier Cup defeat at Carmarthen, following the memorable 4-0 win over title-chasing Llanelli in his first match in charge last weekend, the new boss said this week he wants to build a team capable of challenging at the top of the table and one that will have the fans flocking back to Farrar Road in their droves.
Already looking to improve the Bangor squad, Bleasdale has submitted a number of seven day notices of approach on players he would like to see in the City blue.
He was, however, delighted with the way the present squad played against Llanelli last weekend.
"The players gave all they've got. Now we've got to make sure we establish some consistency." he said.
PORTHMADOG followed City's example by beating Llanelli 2-1 in the Premier Cup on Tuesday – a massive result for the Traeth club with a big payout guaranteed in the quarter-finals, the draw for which is on December 9.
But RHYL will miss out after a 2-1 defeat at Port Talbot on Tuesday capped a bad three days, following the 2-0 league defeat at The New Saints on Sunday.
Rhyl must now regroup for Saturday's league game against Airbus and the first leg of their League Cup semi-final at Porthmadog next Tuesday.
Porthmadog and Caernarfon also have big games this Saturday in their bid to pull away from the relegation zone. Porthmadog are at home to Caersws while Caernarfon travel to Welshpool.
NEW BOSS: Steve Bleasedale.

General ('newbie') Install Question: Drivers
666threesixes666 replied to milktoast's question in Installation Helpmy custom kernels are about 1/5th the size of debian, but they also miss little details like console speaker modules. ill look over the kernel docs, and roll a vanilla kernel tonight. you need your file system, sata controller compiled in to boot with out initrd images. ok 1st the kernel is the drivers. its basically all the drivers a system could want, and some programs like iptables (firewalling) drbd (raid 0 over lan) etc.... when you update the kernel it generates a new bzImage file with the kernel version, if its the same version it will append .old to the kernel. the system boots, does post, then bios/efi then bootloader loads linux, linux loads its self and friends, starts openrc. or something CLOSE to that.... it might be boot loader hands off to openrc then spawns kernel. the file system and hard drive ide or sata controller which contains the linux are important drivers to find. everything else you copy your old kernel config to the new kernel you're going to compile then add in whichever driver is required to run whatever you're trying to run.

My 2 cents on systemd
666threesixes666 replied to Renich's topic in General Discussionyeah, i dont think you'll see any support on the bug tracker though... we don't have a huge dev team to address issues of these sorts. i started contributing systemd documentation before ANYONE was aware of it. i started the whole 2 year long thread on the subject of boot speed. people of linbit got me started on systemd, and broke at least 3 of my systems in the process. i just recently learned how to start deving from local overlay documentation in the funtoo dev guide. i think the major point is that as default were sticking to our openrc guns which are very straight forward bash scripts. systemd support within funtoo specific ebuilds is probably problematic. i think i was running monit as pid 1 for a while. openrc is getting features of process monitoring and mail notification of failure if it doesn't have it already... i was using openrc to init zero to xorg as quickly as possible and monit to start up other services on the side and restart if they were crashed.

I saw an 11-year-old girl being forced to sit next to a naked man, with his floppy d**k on his leg. They made her sit between his legs so he could massage her back.

If you find yourself living with a compromised or missing tooth, dental implants are one of the smartest investments you can make in your oral health. This treatment is highly predictable and reliable as it boasts a 95% success rate. Implants also offer excellent longevity, as they can potentially last a lifetime with the right home care and routine checkups with your dentist every six months. This makes dental implants the best long-term investment for your wallet.
Why Dental Implants in the 63044 Area Work
Dental implants are so successful because they replace your root and your tooth, which closely mimics your natural tooth in both form and aesthetics. A biocompatible titanium post integrates with your jawbone to replace your root and create the foundation for your new tooth. A porcelain crown that is customized to replace your tooth offers all the function you enjoyed before such as eating, talking, and smiling. It's also custom shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Dr. Burgdorf is the cosmetic dentist patients in Bridgeton, MO trust when it comes to implant dentistry. If you would like to learn more about how dental implants might benefit you, give our office a call today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Burgdorf.

Chow Fun, Maui County Fair
I know chow fun is not considered a gourmet dish; in fact it may even be regarded as simple. But, at the risk of hyperbole, I would argue that the chow fun created by the Wailuku Hongwanji and brought to the Maui County Fair each year is one of the best foods in the universe. It's perfectly balanced, from starchy, flat white noodle to green onion to limp but not stringy bean sprout to ground beef. But you don't have to take my word for it—just take one look at the line that lasts all night. @jenrusso

Wow, I didn't intend to be gone so long.
During my hiatus I went to the AQS show in Paducah for the first time in 10-12 years without my friend Darlene due to illness. It was quite a good show and while I had a fun traveling companion, met up with good friends and had a good time, it was tinged with sadness. We took Darlene with us and boy did she get around….here she is at dinner with all of us….see her in the middle?
I did some shopping and enhanced my stash with 36 yards of fabric…..but in my defense 10 yards is the blue fabric on the bottom of the stack and is for a backing…….at $2.50/yd, I had to buy it 😉
I brought home a sewing machine I've named Nancy. This cute little British featherweight belonged to our wonderful host in Paducah, Nancy. When she emailed she was ready to sell it and did I know anyone who would be interested…..well, I didn't hesitate 🙂
I took a class at Paducah which was another first for me (I haven't wanted to give up the time or hassle with class stuff)….but it was with Gwen Marston!!!!! I'm so very glad I was able to get into the class and had a fabulous time.
My design wall hasn't changed in over a month but at least it's full.
After Paducah I flew to Italy to visit my daughter and granddaughter.
I took two reproduction baby quilts with me to finish the binding. The pattern for this quilt was in the April 2007 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine.
The vintage version is for Lily and the modern version was gifted to Cassie because she truly appreciates hand made things 🙂
Stash Report for 2013
- Fabric in: 36 yard
- Fabric out: 0 yards
- YTD Fabric in: 59 yards

Happy Quilting, Cherie

If you could travel to anywhere in the world, right away, right now, where would you go? As far as I am concerned, I would definitely be wearing my favorite swimming suit, rocking my natural hair and taking a walk in a wild beach in Tanzania. Here's why!
The weather
December is the last month of the short rainy season, meaning it is warm and about to get dry soon. According to the weather forecast, temperatures should reach 31°C (compared to 7°C where I am now). However, this weather pattern might differ from one region to another.
What I'd like to do
One of my biggest dreams is to go on a Safari and to see Mother Nature up close. Tanzania has many natural parks and conservation areas that offer a raw taste of nature such as Serengeti National Park, which is Tanzania's second largest park, Kilimanjaro National Park, Arusha National Parks and many more.
Hiking at Kilimanjaro National Park
Aside from the rich fauna and flora, this park includes Africa's highest mountains: Mount Kilimanjaro (~5891m), which has been on my bucket-list for a couple of year now, and two other mounts (Shira and Mawenzi, 3962m and 5149m respectively).
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
I'd like meet with the Maasai people and learn more about their culture and traditions.
Gombe Stream National Park
Famous for more than five species of monkeys, it would be interesting to get to experience their natural habitat up close.
Lake Victoria
This is to honor the child in me. When I was younger, I wondered where the water in the Nile came from. After some research, I discovered the White Nile and the Blue Nile are the Nile's major tributaries. The Blue Nile flows south Lake Tana in Ethiopia and the While Nile's main source is Lake Victoria which is shared by multiple countries. I promised myself to visit it one day.
Zanzibar Archipelago
This earthly paradise would be my final destination. After visiting the main island of Zanzibar ( Sultan's Palace, Zanzibar Fort and Cheetah's Rock and others) I'd purposely search for the most isolated island to chill, sunbath, relax and meditate.
I do have Changuu Island in mind to see Aldabra giant tortoises. If luck is on my side, I might witness the hatching of tiny young tortoises.

When should you recruit a new team member? – Here's a great tip….
Author: Russell SmithFebruary 22, 2012
"If you want a job done properly, you have to do it yourself"
Great piece of 'wisdom' that is utterly useless if you want to grow a business and earn more profits.
The truth is, if you want to increase your income and grow your business you have to recruit team. If you have a team, to grow further you will need more team.
Sure, I've read the '4 hour work week', but look at all the top business successes that you know – they will all have team and be a master at managing that team.
Personally, I think the team management part of business is by far the hardest, most fun and enjoyable part of the game. I also feel a certain moral obligation to create employment given the unemployment figures. However, if you want to look at it in purely business terms – if you want to be bigger, you'll need a team.
Finding a team is one thing, that's the easy part. Finding a great team – well, that's an art form. I've been obsessed with recruitment for the last 3 years because it is those decisions that will have such an impact on business success. Your team should be leading YOU to greatness, not the other way round. You've got to hire people who are better than YOU, not the other way around. If you honestly think you are the best person to do the work, then good luck to you, but you won't grow a business.
Anyway, lets assume you want to employ that next person. How do you know when the time is right? Here's a quick tip – if you believe you can afford 50% of their salary (you'll know this by checking out your profit forecast) then hire them. They will make up the missing 50% in their contribution to the business and in freeing you up to do the important stuff.

That's a wall unit, but it really looks like someone just used cabinets, but did not attach them to anything but themselves. Usually a wall unit (back in th3 1970s and 80s) was a metal and glass, or oak open structure that would hold a turntable, amp, tuner, TV, speakers, tape machine, VCR, and records... If you were really boss, you had a graphic equalizer. Most tuners and amps were in one unit. Some people had reel to reel tape machines a la "Pulp Fiction".
If everything is built in to one unit alone, then it was considered a console.
I may very much be into physical books, but If I was still working in academia, I think I would've loved having all the relevant literature on a tablet and being able to mark things, make notes, make it fully searchable and have it all in one place. If I was still teaching, I would love being able to project directly from a tablet, draw on it, underline and make connections there and then. I think that this would've also pushed me in the direction of reading more on electronic devices, because I was never a big fan of marking physical books with anything more permanent than pencil.
Every damn book I read these days has spelling or grammatical errors that should have been caught by the copy editor. It's jarring. How can they not catch them? Are they not reading them? Maybe they think big time authors don't make mistakes. Well they damn well do.
Maybe they don't have editors any more. What kind of books are you reading?
Proof readers are costly and a lot of people don't care. It should be noted that the job of an editor goes far beyond proof reading and can make a middling book into a master piece.
But the trend is to read straight from the horses mouth, editing is decried as censorship or dilution and publishing houses need to save money, so there you go.
I read all sorts of stuff but mostly science fiction and horror. The thing is, it's not just the books you might expect like self promoted stuff at conventions, even Stephen King novels are getting sloppy. The last I read was Harper Lee's last. Of course with her there wasn't a single mistake as a lifetime between novels leaves a lot of time for correction but even so it brings my estimation of others skill level down. They seem no better than me, maybe worse, as I've caught their mistakes. They aren't Gods after all. Oh well, at least they are better at putting commas where they go.
It makes me wonder if I could be a proof reader. Maybe I should offer my services to my old school bud, Frank Tuttle. Ack, I would have to read a lot of fantasy. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad. I just keep thinking whenever I see him again it's going to be like not thinking of elephants. I hate the "poof and then a dragon appeared" stuff. I've got to read some of his full length stuff someday though. That too has been hard to avoid in conversation.
No, Windows was always shit, now it's just a different, more colourful flavour of shit. Don't confuse nostalgia with quality. And I say that as a Certified Microsoft Professional of several of their OS. I used to be a SysAdmin. Bleh, I spit on "user friendly", it's just another wording for "less control, more awful sucking"! :ahem: But I digress.Windows used to be good and now it's shit
I do agree that certain things seem to go backwards and do not go to their logical, more efficient endpoints, but I blame that on business forces and marketing, not on the engineering advances. Things can always be improved, reinvented, re-engineered, but it's not always profitable no matter how efficient. I'm of the vastly unpopular opinion that marketing and advertising is the natural enemy of everything, including engineering and environmentalism, so I tend to blame them for all the things I despise. I'm all for efficiency, in all senses possible. Greenpeace yes, Apple no.
Well, I don't know, I mean I use Ubuntu on my work laptop and it's great for server stuff and Docker containers and the like, and PhpStorm works well on it. People are always touting the virtues of Linux, but frankly as a home OS I would never install it. Not even if I weren't a gamer, I just prefer Windows' GUI to the Ubuntu one. If I had no interest in playing games, I might've considered buying an iMac or MacBook for its OS and the way different Apple product I own (iPhone, Apple TV) work together flawlessly in the Apple ecosystem.
That's because Ubuntu's default desktop UI is, frankly, terrible.
It has that bizarre desktop/tablet shared design philosophy, while also having that useless top bar that Gnome Linuxes all have, which takes up space but does nothing useful, while sometimes stealing some (but never all) of your programs' menus.
Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, that's the way to go. Very much like Windows, only it does it better than any modern Windows does. Probably better than even the "good" Windowses like 7.
There are other parts of Linux which are still terrible, but the desktop interface no longer is.
Now, as always, the big problems are always software that doesn't work (or work as well) on 'nix. Mostly looking at games and UE4.
I used to have no troubles at all setting up a working network between all my desktop PCs, laptops etc. Now it just doesn't work, despite pumping numerous nights and afternoons into it. At first I put it down to having Win 7 when the rest were all Win 10. Then in early this year was forced onto Win 10 and it still doesn't work with the same error. With the same settings had a working one without issue for years.
I can't stand the file sorting system in Windows Explorer. In Windows 7 it would remember my viewing/sorting choices, with only on the rare occasion it reverting back and needing to be changed again. Ever since moving to Win 10, it reverts back daily. Grrrrr. Only a minor inconvenience yes I know, but it's the little things that all add up for a combined overall experience.
One positive - Win 10 appears to handle memory better when your running a lot of stuff at once. In Win 7 it would often revert to basic mode. Not had that issue once since upgrading.
You should be able to install the Cinnamon desktop on Ubuntu as well. It should offer you the choice of which installed desktop to use during login, if you have multiple installed.
(I haven't actually tried that with Ubuntu, but I have done it with a Fedora in the past and it was easy to switch between the two.)
Lockups in Linux are a huge pain, that's true. You usually have to switch to a terminal session (Ctrl+Alt+F2), then use terminal commands to kill the offending program, before switching back to your desktop session (normally Ctrl+Alt+F7.)
I'm so tired of the old Windows 95 and MacOS idioms that most Linux desktops stick with. Worse yet are the desktops that mix the two, like GNOME 2 (and derivatives) with it's Windows 95 taskbar on the bottom and MacOS-inspired menu bar that actually isn't a menu bar on top. And one feature that has almost disappeared from Linux desktops is the multi-desktop pager that displayed thumbnail images of each virtual desktop. I miss those.
We use Red Hat at work and I haven't suffered a lockup in a long time. We're still on RHEL 7 and we're stuck with that awful old desktop which I hate.
MacOS is better in this regard. Ever since the beginning, remembering folder views was a sacrosanct principle of Finder.
I tried playing around with vertical panels, seems pretty awful. You only get the program icons, no titles, and are very limited to how wide you can make it (max 64 pixels.)
Might be able to get a custom panel applet that works better, I guess?
Yeah, the MacOS-inspired bar is the what I was talking about, that's awful. Gnome 3 tries to "fix" this by just now showing a taskbar at all, rather than getting rid of the useless MacBar.
You used to be able to get a fancy workspace switcher that displayed each workspace on different sides of a cube or other layouts. But the taskbar ones just show a "has windows" icon, they don't show a preview of what's actually on the desktop.

The Amazon, the planets largest rain forest, has an area of approximately 6.4 million square kilometers in South America and occupies 63% of the Brazilian territory. Due to deforestation, the monitoring of these areas is needed, mainly by the expansion of management of the productive farming process. Thus, this study aims to estimate the annual and daily rate of deforestation for the Municipality of Bannach, Para State, Brazil. The Landsat images, sensor 5 TM (Thematic Mapper) from 1997 to 2009 years were used. The supervised classification by Maximum Likelihood was made for analysis the deforestation rate. The index showed an overall accuracy results above 90% and the Kappa index above 0.83 for all years of study. Therefore, throughout the series, there is an increase in deforestation continuously with mainly land use by livestock.

When To Use Flex Seal
Flex Seal is known for stopping various forms of leaks. Ace Hardware's Home Expert, Lou Manfredini shares what homeowners need to know about using Flex Seal. He explains when you should consider using Flex Seal and when it's best to call a professional.
Details On "When To Use Flex Seal"
Jordan: Welcome to the Ace Hardware Project of the week brought to you by Meanley and Sons Hardware. I'm here with Lou Manfredini, Ace's Home Expert. And today it's all about Flex Seal. Now, I think we've all seen the infomercial where the guy builds a boat out of this stuff.
Lou: Right and you and I were looking at the video before we started. It's an amazing product. I mean they have a whole line of products that are under this sort of Flex Seal name. They've got sprays, they've got tapes, they've a whole big grouping of it. Essentially what this is, the spray, it's liquid rubber.
Jordan: Okay.
Lou: And, so, if you can imagine, like your rubber boots you would wear in the mud or in the water. It's the same type of thing. When you look at some of these videos that they show, that they've created this product I've used the product. I've seen it work. You can spray it on areas and if it was on a Teflon pan or something, you could pull it up and you'd have a solid piece of rubber. In one of their videos they show a boat, I think, that they built out of screening.
Jordan: Yes.
Lou: And then they coat it with this Flex Seal, then he goes out and has a good old time in the Everglades of Florida somewhere. I don't know that I'd get on that boat, but, it certainly seems to work.
Jordan: So, that's why I want to trust your expertise. What is it that we really need to know about how the Flex Seal works. What kind of damage can it repair, how long?
Lou: So, leaky gutters, a roof leak that you need to fix right now. Also in that tape that I told you about, they have a tape that works under water. So, let's say you've got an above ground pool. You're having a party this weekend and all of a sudden you realize there's a leak in the liner.
Jordan: Oh no.
Lou: You literally can take that tape and pop it over that crack that you find and it will seal out the water. In my opinion, this is, it's a tool you need to have in your arsenal. It's a tool that you can have to fix things right away, but it's not a replacement for a professional roofer if you're having roofing problems.
Jordan: Temporary things.
Lou: Correct. If it was a flashing issue or issues with your shingles, I don't want people to think, oh, I've got a roof that's 10 years old, I'll just spray it with Flex Seal and then I'll have a brand new roof. That's not what it is. But if you need to fix something in your home right away, and make sure that it doesn't leak, then this product, Flex Seal, might be it. And if you talk to the people at the stores, and tell them exactly what's going on, they can make sure that they're recommending and giving you the right product to get the right thing fixed.
Jordan: Thanks so much, Lou. Find Flex Seal at your local Ace Hardware. You can find the location nearest you at AceHardware.com.

Can executive protection increase a corporation's competitive advantage? In our experience and that of many of our principals, yes.
For although there are more than enough terrorism and crime worries, and highly prominent C-suite execs may be at over-proportionate risk of these, we know from client feedback that increased safety from threats and risks is just one part of the benefits of corporate executive protection. The others, productivity and happiness/peace of mind, are also important. But so is competitive advantage: everything else being equal, we believe the company with a strong executive protection program will have a small but meaningful edge on a company without it. And who wouldn't want that?
This blog examines four ways that increasing the C-suite's safety, productivity and peace of mind through properly implemented and managed corporate executive protection programs creates competitive advantage for the corporations who use it.
1. Good executive protection enables the C-suite to travel more
We all know that travel can be grueling both mentally and physically. Once the initial glamor wears off, days of end-to-end meetings, jet lag, the hassles of constantly changing locations and time away from loved ones are rarely seen as perks of the job. In fact, there's quite a bit of evidence that while business travel has its benefits (even with all of the great tech at our disposal, there's still nothing like a face-to-face meeting), it definitely has its health and productivity costs, too. (See, for example this recent article in HBR.)
So we were happy, and more than a little proud, when in the middle of a long trip a client once shared what might be the best one-liner on the benefits of corporate executive protection that we've ever heard: "You guys make it easier to travel, so we travel more."
That's put about as succinctly as possible. And it was coming from the corporation's CEO, who was also its top salesman, most passionate evangelist and premier negotiator. When this guy gets to spend more time with key staff, major accounts and other stakeholders worldwide it makes a difference.
This is true for travel in established markets, but even more so for trips to emerging markets, where much of the world's economic growth is expected to take place in the next decade. In fact, according to McKinsey, half of the Fortune 500 will be located in emerging markets by 2025. Travel risks are higher in most of these countries. Countries such as Kenya and India have notoriously poor infrastructure, and travelers here are far more likely to get hurt in a banal traffic accident than in a brutal terrorist attack. The important thing to note is that these risks are manageable, so corporations with good executive protection and logistical support can be less likely to shy away from business opportunities there – and therefore more likely to grab market share.
2. Good executive protection increases the C-suite's productivity
Whether at home or on the road, principals who benefit from executive protection enjoy increased productivity.
Flawless logistics turns commuting time into work time, which for most principals translates into spending hours every week on issues that can grow the business rather than paying attention to traffic. The same is true for traveling: otherwise wasted time between destinations becomes an opportunity to hold extra meetings or prepare for the next encounter.
Concierge-like enablement by professional executive protection teams reduces risk and increases productivity. Having a protective agent organize simple errands like getting the dry cleaning not only lowers the principal's exposure to threats; it also allows him or her to spend time on other things.
Good executive protection is never an interruption. It goes on in the background of the principal's attention rather than the foreground. Indeed, working closely together with executive administrative assistants, executive protection can limit or eliminate many of the interruptions that otherwise seem inevitable during a day, such as colleagues just popping in for a brief chat at the office or others approaching outside of it, and all while maintaining the principal's reputation internally and externally.
It's also important to note in this context that when executive protection enhances productivity, it also boosts security. We work hard to establish a good daily flow that keeps us on top of the principal's schedule and all transportation. This keeps things moving, which together with control of strategic points are two cardinal rules of good security practice!
3. Good executive protection gives the C-suite peace of mind
You don't have to be a Buddhist monk to know that calm minds work better than agitated minds. Mental activity spent worrying about one's own wellbeing – not to mention one's family's – can be a serious distraction.
Getting "egged" or "pied" in a public appearance is an insult that everyone can do without. But for some prominent principals, this is a risk that comes with the job. Executive protection can't prevent every invasion of privacy, whether they come from within the company or without, but it can drastically limit their likelihood and thus provide the principal with better peace of mind.
Protecting the principal's loved ones in a way that is consistent with family wishes is another way to improve peace of mind. While high net worth parents may require protection for their children, they often do not want to do so in a flashy way. Despite their wealth, they want their children to experience childhoods as close to normal as possible. Well designed and implemented protection programs can provide security without the stereotypical men-in-black bodyguards always hovering around, so families can get on with their lives without distraction.
Good executive protection also sets itself apart from the more amateurish variants by better protecting the reputation of the principal and the corporation. When "bodyguards" get into the news, it's almost always for the wrong reasons. Go ahead and ask Google. Or check out how badly it went for Raul Castro's protective agent a recent trip to France. Good executive protection rarely gets in the news. Instead, it prevents the kinds of incidents that create the wrong kind of attention. And even though paparazzi can be relentlessly persistent and downright irritating, good executive protection agents handle them professionally and within the limits of the law and good decorum – not with mindless retaliations that land their principal on the front page and them in court.
4. Good executive protection enhances business continuity
The sudden incapacitation or death of a CEO is of course a devastating experience for his or her family members, friends and colleagues. But research shows that this can also have serious impact on business performance and share prices.
Unfortunately, this is not as uncommon as one might hope to think. One study showed that about seven CEOs of S&P companies die per year, and that 75% of these deaths were sudden. If the CEO is well respected and doing a great job, share prices typically drop several points on the announcement.
Obviously, even the very best executive protection program cannot prevent death by any cause. But good programs can in fact go a long way to mitigate the risk of untimely deaths. Principals who are driven by professionally trained security drivers are far less likely to get into traffic accidents than others. Principals with protection agents who are also trained in CPR, and who always have automated external defibrillators on hand or nearby, have considerably better chances of surviving cardiac arrest.
Given the competitive advantage, why wouldn't a corporation use executive protection?
It's interesting to note that many companies purchase key-person insurance policies for one or more of their C-suite. Corporate boards consider these policies not for everyone, but only for those persons whose sudden absence would create significant negative effects.
So why aren't more companies considering executive protection programs for the same people? What do you think? That could be the stuff of another blog!

Java version for starting an application server Follow
I would like to know if it's possible to declare the application server java version when declaring it in run configurations.
Here's is the context :
My intellij is started with java 7.
My webapp only support java 6 because of its dependencies. So I declare it as a java 6 application.
When I run the application, the tomcat is started with java 7 instead of java 6.
Did I miss something ?
Thank you
To start Tomcat, IDEA simple runs Tomcat's startup script in Tomcat's bin directory. The startup script in turns uses the JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine what java install to use. (JRE_HOME takes precedence over JAVA_HOME if both are defined.) See section 3.2 of http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt for more information.
When you run the Tomcat configuration, in the run tool window, in the console output tab, you will see that environment variable that is being used, and its value. For example:
P:\apps\tomcat\7.x\v7.0.11\bin\catalina.bat run
[2012-08-04 02:55:37,601] Artifact my-webapp:war exploded: Server is not connected. Press 'Deploy' to start deployment.
Using CATALINA_BASE: "P:\data\configs\.IntelliJIdea12\system\tomcat\Unnamed_my_project_3"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "P:\apps\tomcat\7.x\v7.0.11"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "P:\apps\tomcat\7.x\v7.0.11\temp"
Using JRE_HOME: "P:\java\1.7-x64"
Using CLASSPATH: "P:\apps\tomcat\7.x\v7.0.11\bin\bootstrap.jar;P:\apps\tomcat\7.x\v7.0.11\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
So you need to change one of those environment variables to the appropriate java version. If you do not want to change them system wide, you can modify them for just your Tomcat Run/Debug Configuration instance:
- Open the Run/Debug Configuration
- Navigate to the "Startup/Connection" tab
- Make sure "Pass environment variables" is selected
- Add a JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variable definition with a value to the java install you want to use
- Save and run
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your explanation.
In fact, it was what I was doing but the problem was somewhere else. I use the tomcat bundle from Bonita Open Solution and there is a script to detect java version in the setenv.bat. It seems that this detection does not work well.
I commented this script and tomcat starts with the right version of Java.

Re: Polen: Beschaffung von Panzerabwehrfahrzeugen
Polish MoD Restarts the Tank Destroyers Dialogue. Offers Presented by the Industry
Uroczyste podpisanie Planu Modernizacji Technicznej SZ RP na lata 2021-2035 (14. November 2019)
http://www.obrum.gliwice.pl/uroczyste-p ... -2021-2035
https://www.defence24.com/polish-mod-re ... -industry-The Armament Inspectorate announced that five potential bidders expressed their willingness to participate in the technical dialogue pertaining to the Ottokar-Brzoza tank destroyer programme. The new procedure also makes it possible to give consideration to wheeled platforms.
Responding to the questions that we have asked, spokesman for the Armament Inspectorate of the Polish MoD, Cpt. Krzysztof Płatek announced that 5 entities listed below expressed their will to participate in the "Obtaining capabilities to destroy armour and armoured assets by tank destroyers" technical dialogue, meeting the deadline set - 27th December 2019:
The Ottokar-Brzoza programme launched by the Polish military is aimed at procuring a tank destroyer for the resuscitated 14th Anti-Tank Regiment based in Suwałki. The new vehicle would replace the obsolete BRDM-2/9P133 Malyutka systems.
- Lockheed Martin Global Inc.
- Rheinmetall Defence Polska Sp. z o.o.;
- AMZ Kutno S.A.
- Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. representing the following companies of the group: Rosomak S.A., OBRUM Sp. z o.o., Huta Stalowa Wola S.A., Wojskowe Zakłady Motoryzacyjne S.A. [Military Automotive Works], Wojskowe Zakłady Uzbrojenia S.A. [Military Armament Works] and JELCZ Sp. z o.o.]
This is the second technical dialogue concerning that matter, with the former one organized in February last year. The dialogue is a continuation of the activities aimed at acquisition of a tank destroyer platform. The new announcement also mentions the fact that wheeled platforms can also be considered, should they meet the requirements concerning the level of protection.
PGZ proposes a myriad of tracked and wheeled platforms offered by the companies listed and Mesko's effectors - the Spike ATGMs. Among the platform suppliers, HSW S.A. proposed the system to be based on K9/Krab and Opal platforms, WZM offered a modernized BWP-1 vehicle while OBRUM proposed the UMPG platform. Rosomak S.A. and Jelcz S.A. joining the dialogue means that the platforms they offer can also be a subject to potential consideration.
The procedure is also to involve Lockheed Martin and MBDA UK (delivering Hellfire and Brimstone 2 missiles respectively, considered, along the Spike ATGM, as the potential effector), as well as AMZ Kutno and Rheinmetall Defence. The latter companies are probably going to offer the wheeled carrier platforms that potentially could serve as a base for the tank destroyers. The Kutno-based company has been presenting its Bóbr 3 vehicle during the MSPO event, featuring the Spike ATGM. Rheinmetall, meanwhile, was showcasing the AMPV platform with the Spike missiles.

Denver's traffic isn't great — but turns out it's worse in 18 other cities
Latest rankings put Denver behind Seattle, Portland and big cities better known for gridlock
February 21, 2019
The Denver metro area's rush-hour traffic is a pain, but how much worse could it be?
Turns out, a lot worse — if you live in Boston, Chicago or Los Angeles. In fact, 18 U.S. cities ranked above Denver on an annual list of the 25 most congested cities in the country.
Still, Denver commuters' aggravation is well-founded: The average driver traveling during peak commute times lost a cumulative 83 hours to congestion in 2018, according to the annual report from INRIX Research, which analyzes traffic data around the world. And that lost time increased by 3 percent over 2017.
Other measures provided by INRIX on Denver's scorecard: The final mile of a commute into downtown during peak periods took five minutes, with traffic moving at 13 mph. And the lost time in traffic last year carried an estimated cost of $1,152 per driver.

'This is the Splendour, needs help." With those words, 51-year-old actor Robert Wagner and Dennis Davern, the captain of Splendour, sounded the alarm around 1:30 A.M., on November 29, 1981, that Wagner's wife, Natalie Wood, had disappeared from the 60-foot yacht the couple owned. Approximately six hours later, Wood's body, clad in only a flannel nightgown, red down jacket, and blue wool socks, was found floating facedown in the Pacific about a mile away, 200 yards off Blue Cavern Point on Catalina Island. Just to the south, Prince Valiant, the 13-foot inflatable dinghy belonging to Splendour, had washed up on the rocks, its ignition key switched to "off," the gearshift in neutral, and the oars up in a locked position.
The death of the 43-year-old actress stunned Hollywood. "It's hard to describe the horror of this thing," said Fred Astaire, a family friend who had played the father of Wagner's character from 1968 until 1970 in the popular television series It Takes a Thief. As both the Coroner's Office and the Sheriff's Department began to investigate, rumors and questions swirled in Hollywood: What had brought Wood, whose fear of deep water was legendary, to leave the yacht in the middle of a cold, starless night and board the dinghy?
"I'm afraid of water that is dark," she had told a journalist just weeks before her death.
As the details of the weekend surfaced, the questions multiplied. Wood had invited the actor Christopher Walken, then 38, with whom she had been filming a science-fiction thriller called Brainstorm, to be her guest aboard Splendour over the Thanksgiving weekend. The Wagners, accompanied by Walken and Davern, had sailed to Catalina Island, 22 miles off the California coast, leaving around noon on Friday, November 27. They anchored off Avalon, the island's main town, and went ashore for shopping and a few beers, leaving Davern behind. The following afternoon they sailed to Isthmus Cove, an isolated spot at the northern end of the island with a tiny community that caters to yachtsmen. They dined that evening at Doug's Harbor Reef, the only restaurant on the cove. Some of the restaurant's staff thought the Wagner party was drinking rather heavily and later remembered volatile behavior on Wood's part. After the group departed, Don Whiting, the restaurant's manager, warned Kurt Craig, the harbormaster, to keep an eye out for their safety. They boarded Valiant at about 10 and motored back to Splendour.
What happened next, aboard the yacht, has been a subject of continuing speculation and innuendo. What is definitely known is that Wood retired for the evening. Sometime later Wagner went to check on her and discovered that both she and the dinghy were missing.
A few days after the tragedy, John Payne and his girlfriend, Marilyn Wayne, a Los Angeles commodities broker, contacted police to say they had been sleeping aboard a boat, Capricorn, which was moored near Splendour that night. Around midnight Payne heard a woman yelling, "Help me, someone please help me!" The voice was coming from near the stern of Splendour and, Payne believed, from someone in a dinghy. He awakened Wayne, who heard the cries, too. The couple claimed they hadn't responded because a loud, drunken party was raging on another nearby yacht, and they had thought someone was just "playing around." Indeed, they had heard a man's very drunken voice respond mockingly, "O.K., honey, we'll get you." They believed the voice belonged to someone at the party, which evidently reinforced their notion that the whole thing was a joke.

Searching for and finding deals on commercial real estate doesn't have to be difficult at all. Many people will start with a local real estate company. If you are in Cincinnati, Columbus, or even Cleveland Ohio, you know that there are many realtors that are offering commercial buildings and structures that you may be able to purchase or even lease. To find the best deals, it begins with comparing all of the different properties that you can find. You will want to contact multiple realtors to see what they have listed. You can also check the MLS listings and try to evaluate this on your own. However, to save yourself time, here are the best ways to get great deals on commercial real estate that is currently offered in Dayton Ohio.
Where To Find Commercial Real Estate In Dayton
The two most popular ways of locating Commercial Real Estate that is offered in Dayton is to contact a realtor that is offering commercial real estate, or you can start looking at the classifieds. The classifieds could be the printed version in papers that you can purchase around the city, or you can simply go on the Internet to find them. There is actually another option that you may want to consider. There are websites that showcase commercial real estate that may represent a conglomeration of all of the realtors in the listings that have been presented. These can be recent, as well as those that have been on the market for some time. You may want to contact those that have been on the market for several months in order to make them a deal so that they can finally sell the commercial property that they own.
How To Negotiate The Best Deal
To negotiate the best deal, you need to have a little bit of information that can put you added advantage. For example, if you know that they have listed the property for several months, or even over a year, this is how you will be able to make a discounted offer. You will also know that they will be more open to this if they are desperate to sell the property. They might be trying to buy another property in the Dayton area which cannot go through without the sale of this one. They may be willing to work a deal just to have it go through, and escrow can close very quickly if they are motivated.
How Many Realtors Should You Contact?
The number of realtors that you should contact should be everyone that you can find. You will eventually limit this down to the ones that have the best deals. You should also consider limiting this based upon the reputation of that real estate office. If they are known for closing deals very quickly if the offer is right, then you should consider working with the top realtor that is at that company.
Finding commercial real estate in Dayton is going to be very easy if you use these suggestions. You will be able to access the best deals possible once you know a little bit more about the sellers. By going to all of the different real estate websites and finding out which properties have been listed for the longest time, this will give you negotiating power and you will soon have your very own piece of commercial real estate in the Dayton area that you can use for your company. Best of all, this can be done very quickly if you find the right seller that is desperate to sell their property. It will be a win-win scenario for everyone involved including the realtor, the seller, and your business.

It is amazing how time flies in a given school year, it seems like yesterday the Federal Legislation Assistance (FLA) staff were running audit checks for FY13 allocations!
As the FY13 fiscal year comes to a close it always seems as there are not enough minds, hands, or time to accomplish all that needs to be done. Some how through all the road blocks and difficulties Oklahoma gets it done, and we are proud of all the work each of you do in your schools helping to mold the minds of the next generation year in and year out.
Now on with the show!
FY14 Carl Perkins Allocations have been mailed to each eligible recipient school superintendent. These notifications are due back to the Federal Legislation Assistance Division by June 14 2013.
If you have not received your allocation notice in the mail you may go to our website linked below, where there are blank allocation and options forms that you can fill out from the allocation listings above.
As you know since the Carl Perkins allocation formula is based off your districts census data, student enrollment, and Pell/BIA data (post-secondary) school allocations can vary from year to year. If you have a question concerning why your allocation changed please feel free to give the FLA Division a call and we will be glad to discuss the formula data the resulted in your schools specific allocation.
If you are a fiscal agent of a consortium or cooperative, please collect your member school's allocation and options notifications and mail us your original signed notification and copies of the member school notifications. If you are eligible to stand alone (15,000 base allocation for secondary, 50,000 base allocation for post secondary recipients) please mail your original signed copy to the FLA Division at the address below:
Federal Legislation Assistance Division
Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education
1500 W. Seventh Avenue
Stillwater, OK 74074-4364
All stand alone recipients have had their allocation entered into the Impact claims processing website. Local Perkins coordinators will now be able to complete section six of the Carl Perkins application by starting a new Impact grant and setting up their detailed budget for approval.
All consortium or cooperative recipient fiscal agents have had their budgets set using only the fiscal agents allocation, once we receive all participating member allocation and options forms back we will increase the cooperative/consortium allocation to include all member allocation amounts. This will allow the fiscal agents to start a new grant in the Impact system, add descriptions for your line items, while the fiscal agent school gathers the member participants notifications to send to the FLA office. Through questions from consortium/cooperative fiscal agents about these allocations, the best practice on developing your grant budget while you wait for the allocation to increase is to establish your line items and place a nominal amount in the unit cost field until the time when your allocation is established. We understand that this is an inconvenience, however each eligible recipient has the right to withdraw from a consortium or cooperative at this time each year, so we can not establish consortium/cooperative budgets until the allocation notifications have been returned.
As always if there is anything we can do to assist please let us know!

Plans to modernise weather office
12 April, 2018, 7:29 pm
Update: 7:29PM ACCORDING to a statement from the Government, there are plans to modernise equipment at the Nadi Weather Office and thereby enhance its ability to forecast.
The statement quotes Director Meteorological Services Ravin Kumar who said the organisation would ensure it was well-equipped with the latest technology.
It has two radars in Labasa and Nausori.
"The radar in Nadi is undergoing an upgrade this month for which government had allocated $1.8million. Rotuma is also earmarked to have a new radar soon," Mr Kumar said.
The office also plans to improve its ability to advise accurately about storm surges and ocean swells.
"The environmental conditions are still conducive to see that the tropical disturbances develop into deep depressions and also tropical cyclones in the next three to four weeks or outside the season," Mr Kumar said.
More details in tomorrow's The Fiji Times.

I seem to have disappeared for a little while...
I can only apologise, but at the same time I have just been living my life. That is the only excuse I can come up with! I haven't felt mentally unstable and I haven't felt the need to shout from the rooftops about how incredible life is, but today I had something on my mind.
I fucking love the creativity I am seeing across social media right now. Whether it's poetry, makeup or even a picture of the outfit you love so much - we are all using our creativity and skill set in different ways. We are expressing ourselves with zero fear or embarrassment of what someone else may think.
I used to dress very 'Plain Jane', and while there is nothing wrong with that, it was never me. I am not Jane, I am Shannon and she is insanely expressive, not only through her personality but now her style too. I no longer worry about whether someone likes my choice of clothing or whether the quote from my published book is 'good enough'. You do you, and I'll do me.
The kids I sat next to in school are now creative directors in their own right - making movies, music, writing and just living their best damn lives. Although we see it through rose tinted glasses on Instagram, they are creating something magical and I am enjoying the show. Why is it magical, you ask? Because they are putting something they love or have passion for out into the big bad world without a second thought. It's amazing and I am here for it.
I suppose what I am trying to say is: Be yourself. As cliche and cringe as that may sound, you'll never feel as happy as you do when you're authentic. There is nothing more special than enjoying your life and all of the little things you love most. I love to explore the many incredible pieces street wear has to offer at the moment, but I also enjoy wearing pink sparkly acrylic nails and lashes up to my eyebrows.
No one can tell you what you can or can't do. What to wear and how to dress. Who you can talk to or what music you can listen to. I'll listen to Post Malone one day and Metallica the next. 2019 is the year we no longer put ourselves into a box of stereotypes. Let's float through life and treat it like the dream it really is, regardless of whether you own the best designer brands or drive the most expensive car.
A short blog from me today - sorry. I hope you take something away from it however small. Here is the link to my first published book: 21 - A Year in the Life!
Think of five positive things that happened today x
