I entered the literary world, really, from outside. My entire background has been in sciences; I was a biology major in college, then went to medical school. I've never had any formal training in writing. Votes: 1Khaled Hosseini
Writing was in my mind from the time I was in high school, but more, the idea that I would be a doctor. I really wanted to be a medical doctor, and I had various schemes: one was to be a psychiatrist, another was tropical medicine. Votes: 1Paul Theroux
My dad was Chinese-American and very conservative when it came to his family's futures. He said if I wanted to have a secure job, I should go into science. So I did what Dad said and went to medical school, but the writing bug never left me. Votes: 1Tess Gerritsen
Writing is very much an emotional process; it requires you to be very in touch with your feelings. That is the opposite of what you're taught as a medical doctor. We're supposed to be detached and logical. Maybe because I started off as a writer and then became a doctor, I'm able to integrate those two. Votes: 1Tess Gerritsen
I treat my writing like a day job, like my main job, even if for many years I was doing other jobs to pay the bills. I worked as a copy editor. I was a medical guinea pig. I was an eBay power seller of ladies' handbags. I was an assistant to a bookie at the horse races. I bartended. I did anything I could to make ends meet. Votes: 1Miguel Syjuco
Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur. Votes: 5 Michael J. Fox

You Treat Me Like An Object - Otto Peng
By Magia Keshia Vandamme on
Women are the weaker sex. Women who wear short skirts ask to be raped. Women can't run a business because they are more emotional than men ... and there are plenty of other ridiculous statements like these that still are dominating this world. But most frightening, people still base their opinions and decisions on things like this.
It shows that we as human beings are not evolved yet into a society where people get treated for who they are instead of what they are, which skin color they have or which gender they were born with.
Why is it so necessary to put everything in LITTLe boxes? Who cares that men are better at this and women are better at that. Is it so hard to accept people just for WHO THEY ARE with their strengths ÁND weaknesses without being judgemental?
Our perspectives are so narrow and black and white that we often miss out the beauty of colors that surround us. If, just only if we could see beyond these boundaries … how lovely wouldn't that be?
Otto Peng created this series which deals with women still treated as objects throughout the world following the #metoo movement.
Photography is a great way to spread a message through pictures. What did you want to represent with this series?
Lately, I was thinking a lot about the objectification of humans and the effect this has on everybody. Men and women get objectified for different things but in this first part of the series, I focussed on the issue that women are being condemned by society for their decisions about their own appearance - if you treat someone like an object, they can as well just act like an object. The resulting, edging works show the paradox of this preposterous concept.
Would you say that abuse of power is the main reason for this issue?
I guess abuse of power contributes to almost every problem including this one. Talking about objectification, in my opinion, social media also fuels this issue a lot. Our whole life gets objectified today: we are surrounded by seemingly flawless apartments, relationships and bodies on our
social addicting networks and its unattainability transforms this urge into something very negative and creates envy striving for superiority.
How would you define equality in your perspective?
Equality means the same value or status of two entities (or more) but in my eyes in relation to past and future. You can never determine a complete value without looking at where it is coming from or where it is going to, I think.
How does photography influence your daily life? Do you think you pay more attention to detail in general?
Photography changes the way I see things and the way I see things changes my photography every day. Honestly, sometimes it´s kind of annoying because I can't look at details or even people without framing them in my head or trying to understand how I would capture that moment to create a certain feeling in the observer of that possible picture ... I am a perfectionist - I really think you can only see the bright things if you can see its shadow.
What would've you become if you didn't follow the path of photography? Or what would've you liked to become?
My development as an artist was or still is kind of weird so I can´t fully answer this question: I never intended to become a photographer. It kind of happened - I stumbled into working in the porn industry as an assistant and after some time I got kind of bored. I discovered my fascination for the hidden relations between the people and things on set most of the time contrasting what the consumers would see. And photography was simply the best way to capture those moments. This taught me a very weird approach to taking photos and valuable lesson in photography and life in general: look further, then what you see at first glance and you will find something truly unique.
What's your motto in life?
I am not really following a certain mantra but sometimes I use the phrase: It's a hard knock life - if you are lucky!
How do you choose your models and what is a must-have every model should have?
It´s pretty straightforward: when I see or meet somebody, I usually feel immediately if I want to take a special photo with them and which scenario would fascinate me. So then I simply ask, if they would be interested as well and start to talk about my mostly grotesque ideas. Generally, I like to explore the unknown of a character with the character itself. Which is why I usually don´t work with professional models and only agree to do so, if I have the feeling I am able to push them into a state of mind far away from their usual mask.
I'm looking for something weird but real; something edgy but self-confident. I think, that the power of a portrait lies within that second, where the portrayed opens up and allows you to understand a certain, intimate thought or characteristic of him- or herself – a good portrait is a gift from your model and you have to treat it like that to create something unique and authentic.

Perky-Pet 336 Squirrel-Be-Gone Feeder
Perky-Pet 336 Squirrel-Be-Gone Feeder, 3-2/5 lbs. Capacity
Price: CDN$ 29.98
Nice look, good design concept, execution could be better
I really like the idea of squirrel proof bird feeders and the concept here is good but the feeder has problems in how it functions. Good idea, bad execution.
The idea is that the outer cage is pulled down with the weight of a squirrel once it jumps on. As the cage slides, down it covers up the feeding ports. There is a problem with this in that not all tree rats are heavy enough to pull the cage down. The amount of weight that's required can be adjusted to a degree, on two sides there are springs which are attached to clasps which can be set to different tensions simply by moving them up or down in the hole (see image below). The squirrels we have here, even full grown adults, just aren't heavy enough and end up feeding while only slightly inconvenienced. See the image below where I have the feeder on a kitchen scale and am pushing down on the cage to just above where the cage would butt up against the bottom plate. It shows 309 grams, that's 0.68 of a pound.
The second problem is that on one of them (I have two) the cage is not properly aligned. When/if a heavy enough squirrel were to jump on it and pull the cage down, it snags on the way back up. The top portion of the cage catches on the feeder tube cap which results in the feeding ports being about 80% closed off. I've played with the spring and clasp configuration and was able to get it sorted out but I shouldn't have to do this. It means poor quality control at the factory. There isn't enough room for birds to get access to seeds when it won't slide back up. Please see the video.
The design is nice, the tarnished copper finish is also nice and goes with the other Perky Pet feeders I have. The tube can hold a lot of seed and the 6 ports allow for more birds to get at seeds at the same time than some other feeders but there is enough room for two more. At least the cage does allow for other birds to hang on and wait for an open spot.
The top cap is one piece, it's molded to fit and will keep water out. It also has an internal spring which keeps it in place as squirrels are crafty buggers and could easily pull up a top cap if it wasn't spring loaded. Filling is like any other, we use a large funnel to minimize spillage and place the whole thing in a 5 gallon bucket to catch seeds which will slip out of the feeding ports during the filling.
Hanging is simple enough, whether on a branch, shepherd hook pole, or home brew set up. The top loop is made from a vinyl coated cable, like a clothesline, which is strong and should out last the feeder. As it's a broad loop cable it can and does self centre.
I won't take points for our local squirrels not being heavy enough to close off the ports as there are varieties in other parts of the country that are but I am taking points for the cage not being properly aligned at the factory. I'm also taking points for not adding the two more feeding ports which this design could easily incorporate.

More Reasons for 1916 Hudson To all the HUDSON attractions we now add these: Yacht-Line Body Lustrous Finish A Roomier Tonneau More Luxury A $1350 Price That price means another $200 reduction, tne second in twenty months. Both have resulted from multiplied output, due to the car's popularity. Now at $1350 we are swinging open in the widest way the gates to HUDSON class. Some Other Things You've Wanted We do not, and we cannot, offer you a better chassis. Nobody wants or expects it. Howard E. Coffin did his best in designing this. Our engineer ing corps has done its best in refining it. This final Six embodies all that seems to us desirable. In twenty months, 15,000 men have bought this new-type HUDSON. They've appliedeverypossible test. And not one, we believe, has ever seen, or wants to see, a better car than this. But there are things you do want, which all cars lacked, and we've brought them out this year. Yacht-Line Body This is the fruition of all aims since foredoors were inserted. Then came straight lines, then streamlines, but all those lines were broken. In this Yacht-Line Body we reach perfection in graceful, sweeping lines. Even the door lines are unbroken. The body and door tops form a level line, and that line is leather bound. We have widened the rear seat so three big folks don't crowd it. We have built a roomier tonneau. And the room is doubled when only five are riding. The two extra seats completely disappear. We upholster with enameled leather this year, the costly finish of the high-priced car. Thus we bring you all the comfort, all the luxury it is possible to give. For safety's sake, and for extra wear, all wheels have non-skid tires. Finish That Stays New And now we bring out a much-wanted innovation our Lustrous finish, exclusive to HUDSON cars. It has required an immense factory addition, equipped with ovens to hold hundreds of bodies. Now each under-coat of finish is baked on to give it wondrous hardness. The result is a finish which keeps its newness and lustre. It resists weather and washing, rubbing and mud. It combats as never before the main cause of depreciation. A Trebled Output But our best announcement is a trebled output. There will be overdemand for a while now, as with every new-model HUDSON. But the long waits of last year will not be repeated. And men who want HUDSONS will not be forced to take some second choice. We are building of this new model 100 cars daily a record fine-car output. You can get one-perhaps at once-if you see your dealer now. These new cars are now everywhere on show. 7-Passenger Phaeton or 3-Passenger Roadster, $1350, f. o. b. Detroit. Also a new Cabriolet, $1650 f.o.b. Detroit Fach HUDSON car brings with it the matchless HUDSON service. Ask our dealer to explain it. You will see how much it means.

- President Cyril Ramaphosa said the State Attorney took the decision to pick up the tab using the provisions of the State Attorney Act.
-DA states that financial accountability be incurred by Zuma as a private individual due to allegations having nothing to do with his job as the then MEC for economic development
- Ramaphosa promises to provide the legal basis for sponsoring Zuma's litigation and only pay back the money if found guilty
PAY ATTENTION: Click "See First" under the "Following" tab to see Briefly.co.za News on your News Feed!
DA chairperson James Selfe will be heading to the high court between today and Monday in an attempt to hold Jacob Zuma accountable to pay back the R15.3m legal bill he racked up from his criminal charges.
Briefly.co.za learned from reports by Business Live that President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that he had come to an agreement with Zuma that the State was to pay the costs of his legal fees for his criminal case and only upon Zuma being found guilty would he be liable to repay the money.
Zuma is facing multiple charges relating to fraud, corruption, money laundering and racketeering. The Democratic Alliance argues that it wants the money spent on Zuma's legal fees paid back to the National Treasury, given that the state attorney did not have the authority to pay for his legal bills.
Selfe stated, "I deny that either of these provisions authorises the state attorney or the president, or any other public official for that matter to decide to impose on the state the obligation to pay for Mr Zuma's personal legal costs, conditionally or otherwise."
"The public interest demands that such charges are prosecuted and met to ensure public accountability, the promotion of good governance, and the protection of the rule of law," said Selfe.

Just in case you've been flying around the world or lost in a blizzard somewhere in Antarctica, Apple introduced two new iPhones today.
If you get an hour or so, view the entire presentation video to get most of the highlights and a few details. What surprised me about the presentation of the iPhone 5S was how much time Apple devoted to the camera.
Apps, Camera, Oh, And A Phone
For those of us who follow Apple incessantly it's about time we changed our paradigm of what constitutes a modern day computer.
Is it a Mac? Or a Windows PC? No. The modern day computer is a mobile device that has apps, plays media, has an awesome built in camera. Oh, and it's also a phone.
You'll hear and read plenty about Apple's new Touch ID fingerprint identity sensor technology, and it's worthy, of course (assuming the first generation is a step up from Apple Maps).
You'll also hear and read plenty about the lower priced iPhone 5C, which, when you look at the details and the price tag isn't much lower.
Apple's executives devoted the most time to the iPhone 5S camera which has nine basic functions you're going to love to use.
The camera is the best new feature of the iPhone 5S.
Size Matters – Instead of focusing on megapixels, Apple added a larger sensor, larger pixels, and a larger aperture. That means better pictures, even in low light.
Burst – Long overdue is the Burst mode which lets you capture, full frame, 10 photos per second simply by holding down the shutter. The iPhone even selects which of the photos it thinks is best.
Flash – You may not notice the difference on the camera, but the 5S has a dual flash system– a white LED and an amber LED and special software that adjusts flash intensity and color temperature.
Zoom – I don't know how I'm going to do this, but 5S has a live video zoom which works during video capture. Holding the camera steady is tough enough, without figuring out which finger works the zoom control.
Stabilizer – This isn't really new but supposedly it's improved, so videos should be smoother and more clear.
Slow Motion – Hot diggity dog. It's only at 720p HD but you can shoot video at 120fps which gives you one quarter speed play back for decent slow motion video.
Square – I'm not much for Instagram or Twitter or Facebook, but the new camera also has a square mode which crops the image.
Filters – This is where Apple is a follower, not a leader. Image enhancer apps with filters and effects have been out for years, and many are free or a dollar or two. Here, though, you can pick the filter before you shoot, or add it afterwards.
The 5S camera has a larger 8MP sensor, and a one third increase in light sensitivity, which should provide better pictures in low light; better colors, less noise. The faster sensor in the iPhone 5S means the camera focuses faster, captures images faster (hence the slow motion and burst mode).
It's difficult not to be impressed by the extras encased in the iPhone 5S. My biggest disappointment, though, is the pricing differential between the high end and the lower priced iPhone 5C.
Really, Apple? That's the best you got? It should be obvious to Apple followers and critics that the company doesn't care to compete in the low-end or mid-range of the smartphone industry, and, instead, plans to do for the iPhone (and probably the iPad) what it does with the Mac– own the high end.

Project Summary
The EFC's Watershed Implementation Plan Financing Project was designed to expand the ability and capacity of local governments and communities to achieve water quality restoration goals and priorities through more efficient stormwater financing. Specifically, through this project, the EFC worked with three pilot communities, including Lynchburg, Virginia, on a four-phased process to assess and expand capacity to finance stormwater activities in a way that maximized environmental, economic, and social return on investment. Our work focused on three phases: 1) identifying the economic and social benefits associated with implementing local Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs); 2) assessing capacity "gaps" in stormwater financing and revenue generation; and, 3) identifying opportunities for expanding the local institutional capacity necessary to achieve desired environmental outcomes.
The final report below outlines recommended processes for allocating, distributing, and investing the fiscal resources necessary for achieving urban-based WIPs across the region.

Film Review *..: Do Not Watch ...The Sentinel... Not Even Kiefer Sutherland Can Save This Action Thriller
By Yong-yi Zhu
The Sentinel
Directed by Clark Johnson
Written by George Nolfi
Based on the book by Gerald Petievich
Starring Michael Douglas, Keifer Sutherland, Eva Longoria
Rated PG-13
In a nutshell, "The Sentinel" is a movie about a presidential assassination where the audience never worries about the well-being of the president. However, its attempt to develop a "24"-like story inside of two hours falls short, making for just an ordinary action thriller.
The film centers around Secret Service agent, Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas), who falls from being the hero that saved former President Reagan's life to the man being investigated by government intelligence.
It all starts with the assassination of Garrison's friend and coworker. Garrison's informant then tells him that someone inside the Secret Service is planning to kill the president, causing an investigation by the agency, led by agent David Breckinridge (Keifer Sutherland), a man who has a history with Garrison. With his assistant, newbie Jill Marin (Eva Longoria), Breckinridge finds out Pete lied, according to a polygraph test, and looks very suspicious. When they confront him about the problem, Garrison flees the scene.
Garrison has always been loyal to his country, but many of his sacrifices have gone unnoticed — he hasn't gotten choicy assignments, and his life seems empty outside of his job. On top of that, he is having an affair with the first lady. That prompted him to flee the scene, but it does not preclude him from having a motive to kill the president.
The film lacks coherence — it focuses too heavily on irrelevant plot, such as the characters' pasts or other minutiae. The story has too many holes and is not at all believable, and because of time constraints, scenes are not fully developed or elaborated upon. For example, a series of death threats flash across the screen throughout the film, and eventually stop appearing as the action intensifies. It almost seems as though the director quit on the idea of having them after realizing, halfway through, that they were not effective.
This film needed all the help it could get, but its all-star cast failed. As Breckenridge, Sutherland is very much the same actor we've come to know and love through "24"'s Jack Bauer. He gives a great performance, but shows nothing new. I think we've all labeled Sutherland as the man who will do whatever it takes to protect the United States of America from all evil, and it's a great asset in this film, but in the future, that may not bode so well for Sutherland.
The exact same problem exists for Longoria. America has labeled her as a desperate housewife, and now she is attempting to be a Secret Service agent; in fact, she becomes nothing but a pretty face in the movie. There is a scene where Longoria and Sutherland chase a suspect through a shopping mall, and I could have sworn that she was going to stop at Prada and peruse the clothing selection. Longoria is simply not meant for a movie of this kind.
Douglas, is another poor choice — half the time, he acts as though he is the president, showing perhaps remnants from his "The American President" days. The rest of the time, he is a horny teenager, constantly needing assurance that his first lady (Kim Basinger) is safe.
Put all this together, and you're left with a film that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

You can view the Class Schedule for our Summer STAGE Summer 2019 here.
Ready to register? Click here for ways to register.
What are the payment requirements?
A non-refundable deposit of $20 per class must accompany all registrations and will be applied toward the class tuition. Tuition must be paid in full the Friday BEFORE class begins. If the balance has not been paid in full, your child's spot will be released and given to another on the waiting list. If you need to make other arrangements, please call the Education Director at (352) 236-2851, ext. 107.
Are classes refundable?
The $20 deposit is non-refundable. If you must withdraw your child from a class before it begins, the last day the remainder of tuition may be refunded is the Monday before the first day of class.
Is financial aid available for students?
Financial aid is available for those who demonstrate true financial need. Applications are available at the box office or by clicking here. For more information, please call the Education Department at (352) 236-2851, ext. 107. Note: All students will be required to pay the $20.00 deposit per class whether or not financial aid is awarded.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive approximately 10 minutes early, especially the first day of class, so you and your student may meet the teacher and fill out any additional paperwork.
What if my child needs to miss a class?
Please let us know in advance if your child will miss any classes so that teachers can adjust their lesson plans accordingly. Refunds cannot be made for missed classes.
Can parents sit in and watch the class?
To help students let go of their inhibitions, we encourage parents not to accompany their child to class. You may either wait in the lobby (we have wi-fi!), or leave and pick up your child at the end of class. If have questions about observing a class, please ask to speak to the Director of Education or class instructor.
What time should I pick up my child?
Parents should arrive shortly before class ends to pick up their student. The pick-up/drop-off point is the Theatre's front entrance. Our first priority is your child's safety. Students will not be permitted to wait outside. Please be prompt.
Will there be a performance at the end of classes?
Some have a "Sharing Day" on the last day of class for family and friends that may wish to observe. This may be an informal performance, a reading of a script, or they might simply share something the class has worked on. NOT EVERY CLASS WILL PRESENT A "PLAY" OR OTHER PERFORMANCE FOR SHARING DAY. Each instructor will design a sharing day based on the needs and skills of the class. If a performance is planned for sharing day, it is intended to be very informal and almost always done without lights, sets, props, or costumes.
Will my child need to memorize lines?
Memorization is encouraged for most presentations. Assisting your child in memorization is a wonderful shared experience, especially for children with limited reading skills. If a performance of a short play is planned, you can expect some prompting, directions, or suggestions from the teacher. Please remember – this is an informal presentation, and the class has had limited time to prepare for sharing day!
Theatre skills are life skills!
Our classes are very carefully planned to match the skill and emotional level of the student. For that reason, we only place students in classes within their age range.
In order to ensure that students derive maximum benefit and enjoyment from the classroom experience, students who become disruptive or disrespectful will be removed from class with no refund of tuition.

Amos Lassen
At the end of The Six Day War of 1967 in Israel, two soldiers, an Egyptian and an Israeli, encounter each other in the Sinai desert. The two share the goal of survival. During the 67 war, Israel repelled a concerted effort of its Arab neighbors to drive it into the sea. The country was about to be torn apart by artillery, air power and troops and it was an ambush. This time, however, the underdog served the combined armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan with defeat. In just 6 days, the warring enemies were brought to their knees.
The movie was directed by Mike Burstyn, the son of Yiddish actors, who got his start in Yiddish theater . He and I did our basic training for the Israel Defense Forces together. This is the first film he has directed and he has something to be really proud of. "Azimuth" exposes conflict and salvation as it communicates itself between two soldiers: an Israeli and an Egyptian who are–deadlocked in an abandoned desert UN outpost, during the ceasefire that ended the war. The very strong metaphor we have here is that we can survive if we cooperate, or we are going to die in the desert."
Burstyn uses a question of relativity as his subtext that has us empathize with he characters. We care for both characters, because in their isolation it's difficult to remember who they are fighting and what for. They are simply two men who fight for all of us.
The 6-Day War did not just change the Middle East, it changed the world by making us believe in hope. With the war's end in the middle of the desert, in an abandoned outpost of the United Nations, two soldiers cross each other. The Egyptian is hurt and lost. The Israel is looking for his mates in a jeep and stops at the place to refuel the car and escape for awhile from the scorching heat. The war is over, but for these two men the confrontation is inevitable. And they end up being each other's prisoner.
It is not a matter of opposing a Jew to an Arab, but of observing the behavior of two men in the face of a situation of mutual fear and struggle for survival. There is no religious or ethnic hatred, but only an inescapable boundary imposed by the different military uniforms they wear. We have no temptation to justify or legitimize the conflict between Jews and Arabs, to victimize or demonize one of the sides. What matters is the brutality of war, seen from the point of view of two individuals who have nothing against each other but mutual fear, external to themselves, because both were mobilized to fight on opposite sides.
Of course we have the irony that the war is over and the struggle to survive is a crude look at the logic of conflict.. It is surprising that, with a story that has just two characters, that the movie can move forward as rapidly as it does. The performances of Israeli Yiftach Klein and the Egyptian Sammy Sheik are outstanding and the film is visually beautiful to watch.
The conflict that frames "Azimuth" is still going on and this prevents the story from being a fable or morality tale. Yes, the message of the movie is not new yet as we watch we are kept guessing as to how it will be presented.

The Importance of Keeping Your Air Filter in Great ConditionFriday, December 2nd, 2016
Oil changes are par for the course. And it's normal to get engine checks now and then–but what about your air filter? Air filters are an important part of your truck that keep it running smoothly, and without it, you're putting your truck at serious risk.

Easy Ways to Prevent a Tire BlowoutFriday, November 4th, 2016
It's every trucker's worst nightmare: you're driving along, minding your own business, when a deadly tire blowout occurs. Not only can you lose control of your vehicle when this happens, but the pressure from the tire blowout can be extremely dangerous for anyone nearby. Not to mention, a tire moving at high speeds can completely total a car. But tire blowouts are easily preventable, and don't have to be a common problem. Here are some easy ways to ensure your tires will all stay exactly where they are.
The Importance of Brake Maintenance for Truck FleetsFriday, October 28th, 2016
Whether your truck fleet is large or small, brake maintenance is crucial for driver safety, product safety, and the safety of everyone around you on the road. While truck maintenance is easy to put off, there is never a better time than today when it comes to truck and brake maintenance. A truck weighing tens of thousands of pounds that needs to stop quickly to prevent an accident definitely can't do so without proper brake maintenance. Here are some of the reasons why brake maintenance is so important for your truck fleet.
Safe Driving Practices to AdoptFriday, April 10th, 2015
Most pedestrian drivers think nothing of driving a large truck. Unless you have ever been behind the wheel of one of those trucks, it's hard to comprehend how difficult the job can be. Truck driving requires safe driving practices to keep the roadways safe. To understand the dangers of truck driving, consider this:
- In 2012, 300,000 accidents across the nation involved large trucks
- In 2014, Time magazine named truck driving one of the most dangerous jobs on their top 10 list
The Shipping Seasons for TruckersFriday, April 3rd, 2015
For any involved with the trucking industry, it is always helpful to have an understanding of the industry. Whether you are a consumer using the trucks, a driver that does the shipping, or the maintenance crews for the trucks themselves, you need to understand when the industry is most active and when it begins to slow. This understanding with all parties can help shipment run smoothly and more effectively.
Construction Equals Traffic for I-95Friday, March 27th, 2015
Trucks and other vehicles that count on I-95 as their main highway to reach their destinations are in for an abrupt halt come Sunday, March 29th. Starting Sunday, construction will begin once again for a 4.4 mile portion of I-95 that will conclude a two year project for the highway. The $60 million project on the interstate is predicted to bring serious traffic jams and a number of headaches for commuters during high traffic hours.
Bad Habits to Avoid for DriversFriday, March 13th, 2015
Whether you are driving a truck or a bus for a living, it is important to realize the size vehicle you are handling at all times. While there are plenty of good habits for drivers to practice, there are plenty of bad habits for drivers to avoid. Bad habits can lead to a decrease in fleet productivity as well as put drivers and other drivers at risk for accidents.
Bad habits for drivers to avoid include:
- Never attempt a trip without planning first. Map out two or three routes to prevent becoming lost. Choose the most efficient routes and check traffic reports to avoid congestion. Always check weather reports as well to prevent problems.
- Never use electronic devices during your travels. All phone calls should be made prior to entering the road, and calls in between travel should always be made at rest stations.
- Avoid eating and drinking while traveling. Spills can cause drivers to take their attention from the road, which could then lead to serious accidents.
- Never get behind the wheel of a vehicle if under the influence of any alcohol, drugs, or other medications.
- Never get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you have failed to sleep enough the night before. Fatigued drivers is one of the leading causes of truck accidents.
- Never practice aggressive driving such as speeding, tailgating, and swerving.

Accident statistics have shown that the most common causes of bus accidents include the following:
- Driver negligence
- Inclement weather conditions
- Defective brakes on the bus
- Challenging road ways (difficult to see or navigate)
- Lack of bus maintenance

Q: How do you create your artwork?
A: Sarah uses acrylic and EcoPoxy resin on wood alternating with pouring and painting. She has spent years developing techniques unique to her style. Her advice to new creatives is to "play with different mediums to see what connects with you, have fun with it, don't let fear hold you back from living out your dreams, and be unique to yourself!" She shares some of her tips on Instagram at @sarahcaudleart so go check it out and read her under the Artist page.
Q: The painting I just loved sold out. Will you do more?
A: She is always creating new paintings! Make sure to sign up for her email list so you don't miss out on her next release! You can also check out her work at galleries and upcoming shows listed here.
Q: Can I commission a painting with you?
A: If you have a certain style, colors, or inspiration in mind, you can commission a special painting for yourself or loved one by filling out this form. Keep in mind, commissions book up months in advance!

Q: How do I care for my original painting?
A: The best way to keep that glossy shine bright and beautiful on your original resin artwork is to refrain from touching it!

The Otolith Group:
November 5 – December 19, 2015
Thursday – Saturday, dusk to 11pm
UVP Everson, Everson Museum Plaza
401 Harrison Street, Syracuse, NY
Urban Video Project (UVP) and parent organization, Light Work, are pleased to announce the exhibition of "Anathema" by multimedia art collective The Otolith Group from November 5 – December 19, 2015. The exhibition will take place at UVP's outdoor architectural projection venue at the Everson Museum of Art.
This exhibition will be the second installment of UVP 2015-16: We Were Never Human a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations exploring the shifting idea of what it means to be human.
UVP will present a special indoor screening of "The Radiant" and co-founding member of The Otolith Group, Kodwo Eshun, will do a live streaming Q&A at the Everson Museum of Art's Hosmer Auditorium on Thursday, November 12 at 6:30pm.
his event will be free & open to the public. Reception follows. Join the event on Facebook!
About the Work
Anathema (2011) Total Run Time: 37 min. Anathema is a contemporary Fantasia on the notion of the network and its inherent instability, where the organic networks of human relations and the crystalline lattices of silicon-based technologies intertwine, and often tangle. From the artists' statement: Anathema re-imagines the microscopic behavior of liquid crystals undergoing turbulence as a sentient entity that possesses the fingertips and the eyes enthralled by the LCD touch-screens of communicative capitalism. Anathema can be understood as an object-oriented video that isolates and recombines the magical gestures of dream factory capitalism. By bringing the telecommunicating couplings of mother-father-daughter-son-machines and boyfriend-girlfriend-units into contact with the conductive imagery of liquid crystallization, Anathema proposes itself as a prototype for a counter-spell assembled from the possible worlds of capitalist sorcery.
About the Artists
Anjalika Sagar and Kodwo Eshun co-founded The Otolith Group in 2002. The work of The Otolith Group explores the moving image, the archive, the speculative, the sonic, and the aural within the context of a politics of exponentially increasing interconnectedness. Together, they have exhibited, screened, and curated at the British Museum and Tate Modern in London; REDCAT in Los Angeles; Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin; and the Smithsonian Hirschorn Museum in Washington D.C.; and have participated in dOCUMENTA (13); the Sao Paulo Biennial; and MANIFESTA 8. Their work is in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum in NYC. In 2010, they were nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize.

Cristiano Ronaldo marked his 400th Real Madrid appearance with two goals as the holders beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in their second Champions League group game.
The 32-year-old netted his 410th and 411th efforts for the club in his 150th UEFA club match after Gareth Bale's sensational opener had put Madrid in front in what proved to be a thrilling encounter at Signal Iduna Park.
Madrid came into the match having never won away from home against BVB, but Bale's spectacular volley put them on course for the victory after only 18 minutes.
It was an end-to-end clash that featured chances for either side before Ronaldo celebrated his latest milestone with a composed finish from Bale's cross.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Dortmund hope of a recovery but Zinedine Zidane's men made certain of two wins from two in the defence of their trophy as Ronaldo blasted home in the closing stages.
6 - Dani Carvajal es el defensa que más asistencias ha logrado en la #UCL desde la temporada pasada. Meteoro. pic.twitter.com/I9ritEOekH— OptaJose (@OptaJose) September 26, 2017
Despite Peter Bosz's call for caution in Monday's pre-game news conference, Dortmund pressed Madrid high up the pitch from the kick-off and twice could have fallen behind from early counter-attacks.
First, Dani Carvajal raced into the box down the right only to shoot straight at Roman Burki, before Lukasz Piszczek just denied Bale a tap-in after Ronaldo had surged clear down the same flank.
Madrid were perhaps fortunate to escape a penalty in the 14th minute, though, with Keylor Navas deflecting the ball onto the raised hand of Sergio Ramos after Maximilian Philipp had turned the ball goalwards.
But with 18 minutes played, Dortmund's wayward defence was punished in sumptuous style by Bale. Carvajal found space 30 yards from goal and clipped a fine pass into the path of the Wales star, who sent a sublime volley into the top-right corner, leaving Burki stranded.
Madrid should have doubled their lead before the break, Ronaldo twice firing wide and captain Ramos missing a free header from six yards out, but it needed a vital interception from Raphael Varane to deny Aubameyang an open goal moments after half-time.
But Dortmund's slack defending was punished in ruthless fashion four minutes after the restart. Toni Kroos split the back four with a fine throughball to Bale, and his low cross from the left was steered home left-footed by Ronaldo from 12 yards out.

BVB were in need of a lifeline and it did not take them long to respond, as Aubameyang prodded past Navas after Varane had failed to reach Gonzalo Castro's cross.
Aubameyang poked another chance inches wide from Mario Gotze's delivery as BVB began to push hard for an equaliser, although they were lucky not to concede a penalty when Bale was brought down by Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
But the more they pushed forward, the more suspect they looked on the break, and Ronaldo sealed the win 11 minutes from time as he raced onto Luka Modric's pass before thumping past Burki at the near post.
Key Opta stats:
- Real Madrid recorded their first away win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in seven visits (D3 L3).
- Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals against Borussia Dortmund than any other player in Champions League history (six goals).
- In fact, Ronaldo has scored in each of his four trips to Signal Iduna Park in the Champions League (five goals).
- Gareth Bale has been involved in more goals than any other Real Madrid player in 2017/18 (three goals and four assists - all competitions).
- Borussia Dortmund conceded more goals tonight than in the Bundesliga this season (one in six games).

This video is centered on Dr. Cuhel's study of invasive species and their effect on the phytoplankton population in Lake Michigan. It is important to understand the impact that non-native species like the quagga mussel have on the plankton availability to native fish species since phytoplankton are the base unit of the lake's food web. His work illustrates the current conditions of the Lake Michigan ecosystem and provides baseline data for future comparisons.

Brewery: Mountain Goat Beer Pty. Ltd.
Country: Australia
Style: IPA
Other Notes: In-Breed – This is the brewing expression of one of our goats, who we let off the leash in the brewery. He created this exclusive brew for you drinking pleasure.
Brewer Description: (from bottle) If Tom were a beer he wouldn't be a mid-strength Australian lager, he wouldn't be a pale ale or even a session IPA. He'd be a full-blown IPA. Tommy's magnetically drawn to hops. So when it came his turn to brew an In-Breed it had to be a US style, West Coast IPA.
My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.25
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.2
Intro: This was a 640ml bottle dated best before 3 May 2015 and poured into a Hoegaarden pint glass.
Appearance: The beer poured a clear copper amber colour with a one finger white head with good retention.
Aroma: The aroma is easily pineapple, grapefruit and pine with light caramel malts in the background.
Taste: Grapefruit is most prominent at the beginning, then pine followed by a caramel malt finish. It has a medium bitterness throughout that is nice.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
Overall: A nice IPA overall. The bitterness and light caramel malt in the background is well balanced and enjoyable to drink. I would buy this again.

WNA #29: Never a One Man Show
Nov 10th, 2017 by wrestlingnerdsalliance
**APOLOGIES TO ALL - An audio issue caused a large section of dead air after our sign off this week... there is nothing there... this is not a joke... 10 minutes... if you sit through it, there is no prize or treasure... we were going to play one of Cliff's songs... it went away... we don't know where it moved to... maybe somewhere warm****
WNA is back! And we are talking all things good, bad and PHENOMENAL (see what we did there).
Discussion of WWE's week of TV in the UK, the changing of the title picture and Cliff still loves him some Enzo sauce. We find out that Robb fears being alone, the guys have an admirer named Monty and they come together to prove their innocence in light of recent accusations from another podcast. The guys also discuss the recent horrific news coming out of Hollywood and Cliff's own account of things he has witnessed working in the industry.
Yeah... it gets icky, folks.

Disney dropped the bombshell that they were adding an exciting new attraction to Magic Kingdom: a TRON coaster-style ride.
But, just when will the new TRON coaster be open at Disney World?
In this article
Somebody is having a birthday...
If you hadn't already heard, Disney World has a pretty big celebration coming up soon: their 50th birthday!
That happens in 2021 and Disney has promised that this exciting new TRON attraction will be open by then.
Of course, since that date is so far out we don't know much more than that, but, we do know that construction on the project is gearing up and signs are even being spotted now in Magic Kingdom:
The attraction itself is based on the TRON Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland. The ride vehicles on that attraction are similar to the ones for Flight of Passage - only instead of being stationary, they move:
What about the Tomorrowland Speedway?
There were lots of rumors that the Tomorrowland Speedway would have to close in order to make way for the new attraction, however, that isn't the case.
The Tomorrowland Speedway will need to be closed during parts of the construction phase. However, the new attraction will be located in an new area, just to the side of Space Mountain:
Refurbishment information
During the construction of the new TRON attraction at Magic Kingdom, there will be some attractions temporarily closed:
Walt Disney World Railroad
Beginning in December of 2018, operations of the railroad will be temporarily "paused". The trains, however, will be parked at the Main Street Station to allow guests an up-close look at the railroad and one-of-a-kind photo opportunities.
No word yet on how long this refurbishment will last.
Tomorrowland Speedway
To allow for the adjustment of the track, the Tomorrowland Speedway will be closed for part of the first half of 2019 with plans to reopen summer of 2019.

Hi, friends!
Last Friday, I felt sick and decided to cancel all my appointments for the weekend. This way, I've been able to spend a relaxing weekend in order to get better.
New Logo
On Friday, I changed my blog's logo for a new one. I thought the last one was too impersonal and colourless. (Do you remember my last logo? You don't, right…?)
I really had no idea how to make a logo so I took a very useful one-hour course called Watercolor Branding: Create Your Own Custom Watercolor Logo and I love the result.
What do you think? I hope you love it, guys!
Adventure Escape: Murder Inn
Yesterday, I got totally hooked to this fascinating and intriguing escape room and adventure game called Adventure Escape: Murder Inn:
College friends reunite at a remote mountain lodge where mysteries and secrets run deep. Last year, one friend died in a tragic skiing accident. This year, another friend is murdered in her guest room. Everyone claims their innocence, but someone is lying. Detective Kate Gray must search the inn and interrogate suspects to gather clues and find the culprit!
I've always loved escape rooms and adventure games. I do because they're challenging and they make you rack your brain.
Maybe you don't know what an escape room is… It's a game in which you need to solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints and strategy in order to escape a room.
I've played them quite a lot so far, so from my experience I can tell Murder Inn is a good one.
The good thing is that it's absolutely free and if you love it and need for more, Haiku Games has a lot more of this kind on their website.
Backpack by Emily Barr
I've started reading this chick-lit and mystery novel I recently bought in London.
Adrift in the wake of her long-suffering mum's death, Tansy hopes her modest inheritance will help cast her in the role of glamorous 'Englishwoman Abroad,' as she flits from Vietnam to China. Instead, she finds ungrateful locals who treat her like the tourist she is, a climate that's hell on her skin, and a motley group of grimy back packers she likes more than she'll ever admit. But when blond Englishwomen in Asia start turning up dead, what began as a grand adventure suddenly becomes a real-life murder mystery… and blond Tansy wonders if she'll live long enough to tell the tale of her travels.
I'll write a post about it as soon as I finish it (promise!). You'll find it on my recently created Book Club.
Have your say
What did you do at the weekend?

The Maori WAKA
If you want to understand a culture and its many layers it helps to ask about the art. By taking on a study of the meanings of symbols, the use of patterns and the placement of the animal and sea world creatures in art can bring us closer to a people. This is true for first nations and indigenous people in Canada. It is also true of Maori.
When we traveled to New Zealand, or Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud, we paid special attention to their art. Their style and its meanings had very similar connections to the art of the pacific northwest. Their use of canoe's, of weaponry, of totemic structures, the patterns we have come to know as form line, the use of Ovoids, U-shapes and fierce expressions is not far from our approach to art. We have commonalities that stretch across the cosmological and spiritual realm. But we were particularly fascinated with the canoe, what the Maori call their Waka.
The Maori have stories that connect them directly to water. Their story is that of mass migration, from Islands in the mid pacific to the southern hemisphere paddling there in many canoes. Their settlement in the south pacific took place over several hundred years, eventually inhabiting the rivers and lakes of Aotearoa.
Each Maori person we met, whether a lawyer, a judge or a wood carver, would all refer to their lives as a journey, a journey that was usually taken in a Waka. Families can be referred to as a Waka. Time in school, in training or apprenticeship, a Waka. A court trial, a Waka. Attaining a University education, a Waka. Interestingly, their clan affiliations are also linked to the main canoe families that arrived on the island nation 25 generations ago. This is one of the principal reasons why SAMAQAN Water Stories went to New Zealand. There was a spiritual purpose behind their story. We had to capture it and to share it with our Canadian audiences. Now it is here on our website to share with the world.
In this weeks webisode you will hear from Joe Conrad, a cultural knowledge keeper and a captain of the Waka. You will also meet James Rickard, an accomplished artist and carver. From these two individuals we gain a better understanding of Maori art and by extension, their culture. They helped to de-mystify the art form for us as it relates to the Waka.
While we decided not to make The Waka part of the TV component, we felt the mini-documentary had greater ability as a user experience and therefore capable of making an impact as a standalone inside of our web component. You may hear words not immediately comprehensible. On this site you can play it again and again. You could further explore the INTERNET with some of the words you hear or see.
In the final analysis the Maori and the indigenous people of north America have more in common than we would like to think. Most of the time the affinity to water is a common human thread that binds us as one cohesive family. The more we understand and appreciate the importance of our connections to water, the greater our ability to contribute to the nurturing of a healthier planet.

AAIB investigation to Pegasus XL-R, G-MVDV
Engine failure and forced landing near Otherton Airfield, on 6 September 2015.
The student pilot was undertaking a solo flight from Otherton Airfield as part of his training. After about ten minutes of warming the engine and taxiing, he took off from Runway 25 and later reported that the engine was performing normally throughout the takeoff roll and initial climb. However, at a height of about 100-150 ft agl, he sensed that the engine was losing power so he checked that the fuel tap was on and pumped the throttle. The engine continued to slow down and cut intermittently and he therefore decided that he would shut it down and commit to a forced landing straight ahead into a field of potatoes.
During the landing, the nose landing gear collapsed due to the soft nature of the ground and the aircraft rolled onto its left side as it came to a halt. The pilot later reported that, as part of the subsequent investigation, it was found that the engine ran normally over an extended period of testing after the carburettor had been cleaned and this led to the conclusion that a particle of dirt had blocked the jet or that, possibly, water had been present.

We have hope because we have faith! Faith in the one true Son of God, Jesus Christ, who loves us so much He freely gave His life for us!
How do I know this? Lets look at what the Bible says about it. I am using The Message translation of the Bible for the ease of understanding - I like this version because it puts it in today's language.
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him." ~ John 3:16-18 (The Message)

Left guard Ben Dew will miss the remainder of the season with torn ligaments in his toe, coach Tom Herman said Monday. Dew, a fifth-year senior, will undergo surgery either Wednesday or Thursday. "It's a shame," Herman said. "A senior leader on our team … at a position that quite frankly is our thinnest position. Definitely a major blow." Dew suffered the injury in the first quarter of the Sept. 12 game at Louisville, got an anti-inflammatory shot and played the entire game. The injury will force the Cougars to do some shuffling on the line. Zach Johnson moves from left tackle to right tackle, Carter Wall shifts from right guard to left guard and Alex Cooper from right tackle to right guard. Marcus Oliver (left tackle) and Colton Freeman (center) are the only linemen to remain at current spots. Herman said the Cougars were able to experiment with a reconfigured line during practice last week. The extent of Dew's injury – at first it was diagnosed as turf toe – was not confirmed until an MRI on Friday. Also on the injury front, tight end Hayden Daniels is expected to return this week after being sidelined since early August with a bruised knee.
Javin Webb has supplanted Ryan Jackson as the No. 2 running back behind Kenneth Farrow, according to the depth chart for the Texas State game. Webb was dismissed from the team last season before getting a second chance under new coach Tom Herman. He had one of the best preseason camps of any player on the roster and moved into the backfield rotation to begin the season. With Farrow and quarterback Greg Ward Jr. getting a bulk of the rushing attempts, Webb and Jackson have seen limited carries in two games. Webb has seven rushing attempts, two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the season opener against Tennessee Tech. Jackson has 10 carries for 41 yards and one touchdown. "He's earned it," Herman said of Webb. "He's played better than Ryan to this point. I don't know how else to say it. Ryan has a lot of experience. We think Ryan can play better. Just because he's a senior and Javin is a sophomore, whoever plays the best is going to go in the most."
Tom Herman spent some time on the recruiting trail during the Cougars' bye week, attending "7 or 8 high school football games" in the Houston area. In football circles, it's hard to find anybody around the Houston area that hasn't heard of the University of Houston's catchphrase "H-Town Takeover." Herman was asked what the 34-31 win over Louisville has done for recruiting. "There was a lot of congratulations, and not just for where we were in the season, but the legitimizing of the first nine months of our preparation and message that we are sending out from Cullen Boulevard," Herman said. "It was very well received by the high schools and the fans I came in contact with."
As part of UH Night at Minute Maid Park, coach Tom Herman will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Astros' game against the Angels on Monday night. Herman said a UH staffer will have a glove and ball for him to warm up at practice. "We're going to be cutting it close," Herman said. "I get of the practice field, hop in car and show up at Minute Maid Park, run out and throw the first pitch and come back here and watch digital video with the staff."
