Trump, tech, and the future of government surveillance
Beginning with 2013's Snowden leaks, the Obama administration publicly wrestled with various thorny issues at the intersection of technology and government surveillance.
When, how, and for what purposes should the government collect personal communications and other data? Is it ever appropriate for the government to exploit software flaws for intelligence gathering or crimefighting, rather than sharing them with the developer? Is strong encryption a fundamental right or a threat to public safety?
These questions now fall to President Trump. After a promising start with the Trump Tower tech summit last December, relations appear to have soured. The tech sector, with its tens of thousands of international employees, reacted furiously to the administration's recent executive order on immigration and refugees. Some leading tech companies are now considering whether to file a lawsuit challenging the order.

Many of break the new years resolution of losing weight.
There are many ways to lose weight:
Take advantage of the miraculous invention of duct tape and tape your mouth shut.
Put a lock on the fridge door.
Put those childproof locks on the kitchen cabinet doors (whether you have a small child or not).
Don't let your husband buy all those snacks in the grocery store that he says are for the kids (who are we kidding, they aren't for the kids).
Stop buying all those sausage biscuits at the fast food place down the road. (I am not guilty of this, but my husband loves them)
Hope that Hershey's goes out of business. (Just kidding!) I love chocolate!
But seriously......
About the only way to lose weight is to have willpower, which is something I lack.
Ask yourself before putting that snack in your mouth, "Am I really hungry or is this just a habit?" Then lay it back down and put the junk out of sight so you don't see the tasty, but bad for you treats, every time you walk by them.
Stop snacking at night. (This is my downfall, I love to eat in the evening, whether I'm hungry or not, it's just a habit)
Walk, walk, walk. In the wintertime in our parts, this is hard to do. I can't stand the cold wind against my face. But I find if I walk on a regular basis, I don't gain weight. My neighbor and I walk around and around our subdivision in nice weather. We gossip (I mean chat) while we walk and the time flies by. An hour is up before you know it.
So this is what I now have where the Christmas tree stood a few days ago.
It is one of the small treadmills, that isn't run by electric, so it's not as noisy (you don't have to turn the TV up high to hear it while you're walking). I find that if you put it on an incline it is easier to walk on. I guess the downward gravity helps. These are less expensive (especially if you get it off your favorite neighbor at a yard sale) and less heavy, and doesn't take up as much room as the big expensive ones.
Walking is a much better way of losing weight than having to eat these because you caught a nasty virus off of your son.
I must say, it works, tho. I've lost 2 pounds since yesterday! But I'd much rather be well and walking on my treadmill.
What are your best suggestions on losing that winter weight that creeps on you from the continuous buffet of Halloween candy, Thanksgiving delights and Christmas yummies?
Looking forward to hearing your ideas.

Sound Unseen Presents "Leonard Cohen: Bird On A Wire", the long lost documentary of Leonard Cohen's 1972 European tour.
Date: Wed. March 8, 2017
Time: 7:00 PM
Venue: Trylon microcinema
Cost: $10
"Leonard Cohen: Bird on a Wire" follows the legendary musician/songwriter/poet (1934-2016) during his 1972 European concert tour, performing many of his classics ("Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Chelsea Hotel," "Famous Blue Raincoat," "So Long, Marianne"). This long-lost movie, never released theatrically, captures vintage Cohen — singing backstage with his band, gamely enduring press interviews, balking at encores (only to be gently coaxed back on stage by producer/bandmate Bob Johnston), and assessing life on the road with self-deprecating humor ("Iike some parrot chained to his stand night after night").
Director Tony Palmer, UK, 1972/2010, 106 min.

Just noticed this as well! Terribly inconvenient. I need to get rid of over 100 emails and I am not doing that individually.
Your most recent update removed the ability to mass unsubscribe bounced and suspended addresses from an account without deleting them entirely. You have articles posted about how to download a list of addresses that you want to unsubscribe and then re-upload them into an unsubscribe list, but that process is clunky and annoying compared to the previous system of just clicking a button. Please re-add the mass unsubscribe feature on the bounce page--the current system is de-incentivizing list cleaning and encouraging your users to just let their bounces go.
Thank you for your feedback @ICS. Our developers are tracking feedback and I will be sure to get yours to the appropriate teams. I have also opened up your idea for voting.
In the meantime, you are able to unsubscribe contacts in bulk by first exporting the contacts you would like to unsubscribe from the report. Once exported, you can upload them into an unsubscribed status by first making sure "advanced email permissions" is enabled on your Constant Contact accounts settings page. It can be found under "Contact Settings" on that page. Once enabled, there will be a new option to "Add unsubscribed from file" option on the contacts page under "Add Contacts".
Hi @AnnaM96 thank you for your feedback! I can definitely understand how helpful it would be to unsubscribe contacts directly from your bounce reporting. I apologize our reporting is not currently designed this way. This is however a feature request I have submitted in your account and to the appropriate teams. In fact, where are you seeing the message recommending to unsubscribe your bounces? The reporting pages for our campaigns do not include a message like this.
In the meantime, as a workaround we suggest exporting your bounces to a file, then uploading it directly to your unsubscribed list. Uploading your contacts to the unsubscribe list will not change the listed source of how they were originally added into your account.
I am so tired of Constant Contact taking away features that we use and which make the system user friendly. We want to manage our Bounced Lists but taking away this bulk feature to move them to Unsubscribe and remove the Report List at the same time, makes it impossible to easily fix them. It is definitely user unfriendly to take away this feature. And your response above indicates that it was taken away on purpose and is no longer a design feature. Are you trying to make it so difficult that we don't remove them and therefore keep Contacts in our account to drive up the count which increases the amount you charge us? I hope you are not being that deceitful. I vote to bring this feature back! NOW!

Hammer toe is defined as a deformity in the toe where part of the toe is permanently bent downward resembling a hammer. Two related conditions are mallet toe and claw toe which effect different toe joints in slightly different ways. The key difference is that Hammer Toe tends to effect the middle joint in the toe (note: not the middle toe, the middle toe joint). The disease is usually associated with the second largest toe but can effect the third or fourth toe as well. Mallet toe effects the uppermost toe joint whereas claw toe is caused by the tow being held in a cramped ?claw-like? position.
Medical problems, such as stroke or diabetes that affect the nerves, may also lead to hammertoe. For example, diabetes can result in poor circulation, especially in the feet. As a result, the person may not feel that their toes are bent into unnatural positions. The likelihood of developing hammertoe increases with age and may be affected by gender (more common in women) and toe length; for example, when the second toe is longer than the big toe, hammertoe is more likely to occur. Hammertoe may also be present at birth. Genetics may factor in to developing hammertoe, particularly if the foot is flat or has a high arch, resulting in instability.
The most obvious symptoms of this injury will be the the middle toe joint is permanently bent at an angle. In the beginning movement may still be possible but as time passes and the injury worsens the toe will be locked in place and possible require hammer toe correction surgery to fix. Another key indicator of hammer toe is that a lump or corn will form on top of the toe. The toe joint will be painful and walking can cause severe discomfort. Occasionally a callus may form on the sole of the injured foot. If you see any of these symptoms together or have been enduring pain for some time, seeing a podiatrist should be your next step.
The earlier a hammertoe is diagnosed, the better the prognosis and treatment options. Your doctor will be able to diagnose your hammertoe with a simple examination of the foot and your footwear. He or she may take an x-ray to check the severity of the condition. You may also be asked about your symptoms, your normal daily activities, and your medical and family history.
Non Surgical Treatment
There are several treatment options. These are based on how severe the problem has become. The sooner a person seeks treatment, the more options that person may have. Wear properly fitting shoes; this does not necessarily mean expensive shoes. Padding any prominent areas around the bony point of the toe may help to relieve pain. Medication that reduces inflammation can ease the pain and swelling. Sometimes a doctor will use cortisone injections to relieve acute pain. A podiatrist may also custom-make an insert to wear inside your shoe. This can reduce pain and keep the hammer toe from getting worse. Your doctor may recommend foot exercises to help restore muscle balance. Splinting the toe may help in the very early stages.
Surgical Treatment
Hammertoe surgery is performed when conservative measures have been exhausted and pain or deformity still persists. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. It typically required about one hour of time. An incision is placed over the inter-phalangeal joint. Once the bone is exposed, the end portion of the bone is removed. Your surgeon may then use pins or other fixation devices to assist in straightening the toe. These devices may be removed at a later date if necessary. Recovery for hammertoe surgery is approximately 10 to 14 days. You are able to walk immediately following the surgery in a surgical shoe. Swelling may be present but is managed as needed. Physical therapy is used to help reduce swelling in the toe or toes after surgery. Most of these toe surgeries can be performed in the office or the outpatient surgery under local anesthesia.

Passionfruit Melting Moments
New Zealand nails biscuits. Yes, yes, I know Great Britain probably started the whole thing, and a chocolate-coated Digestive might just be the biscuit to end all biscuits. But passionfruit melting moments - in fact passionfruit anything - are pure kiwi gold in my books. They're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, and a doddle to make. And best of all, they're winkingly cute.
I made this recipe several times when we were back home earlier this year. It is largely inspired from a recipe in The Great New Zealand Cookbook, but I use more passionfruit and less buttercream. The passionfruit flavour is lovely and zing-ingly tart on the tongue, which stops the biscuits from being too sweet. You could have so much fun with chopping and changing the flavours in these, I think a pink grapefruit or feijoa might be my next go.
I find that I rarely have the time or patience to do the pinterest-worthy, dainty decorating with my food. What I love about these is how gorgeous they are - they're a failsafe crowd-pleaser to take round to someone's for tea or a playdate.
With love, Kate
For the biscuit
250g butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
80g icing sugar
250g flour
75g cornflour
5 passionfruit
For the filling
90g butter
100g icing sugar
1 passionfruit
Preheat oven to 160 degrees, and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Soften the butter, and beat in with the vanilla extract and sifted sugar icing sugar with an electric mixer until pale.
Sift the two flours together, and slowly add to the butter mixture.
Remove pulp from the passionfruit and add to the mixture.
With floured hands, make two small balls of mixture - they should be about a heaped teaspoon of mixture each. Place a couple of centimetres apart on the baking tray, and lightly press down with a fork.
Bake biscuits for about 20 minutes, until golden. They shouldn't get too much colour.
For the filling, beat the butter and sifted icing with an electric mixer, and add the pulp from the remaining passionfruit. I found placing it in the fridge for a half hour helped it to stick the biscuits together.
Once the biscuits have cooled, sandwich them together with the buttercream. These can be stored in the fridge for a few days. Enjoy!

Little Putt-Putt in Watercolor
I just completed my latest watercolor of this little tractor that I discovered at a previous Vistas & Vineyards paint out. Hopefully I included all the necessary engine parts so that it will start. Yes, it has been out in the sun too long, and so have I.

Depot Bay Bridge (Oil)
I originally painted this image in watercolor however I never liked it so this is the oil version. I used both palette knife and brushes for this 12X16 painting. I previously also painted a less "wonky" version in oil.

Mission Mill Caricature
At the recent SketchCrawl I started a caricature of the mill. I finally finished the sketch in ball point pen and marker. I may later turn this into a painting. I believe that perspective in highly overrated.

Pineapple Watercolor
I have been working on this watercolor for the past few days. I got the idea from a DVD by Sue Archer called "Commanding Color". My wife bought the pineapple and I photographed it on the kitchen windowsill in the morning light. Maybe an artichoke will be next.

The Apartment by The Line, Los Angeles
I spent this past weekend in LA celebrating a longtime friend's 30th birthday and draining my hard-earned dollars on overpriced green juice. In between those activities, I was able to pay a long awaited visit to the LA edition of The Apartment by The Line (I visited the New York location this past summer).
Perched in an open apartment overlooking Melrose Place, the LA version of TABTL boasts not one—but TWO—glorious spaces filled to the brim with stunningly designed housewares, furniture, clothing and accessories. The Apartment technically serves as a retail environment, but the place falls more in-line with a museum for design geeks. And geeked out I did.
Oddly, despite having spent six years of my life living there, I never felt as much at home in LA as I did during the 30 minutes I spent in this apartment…I momentarily caught myself contemplating life as a hostess at SUR and whether or not I could subsist off of a kale and charcoal water diet (Oh LA, I kid, I kid... But BTW, if you're NOT putting charcoal in your water—you're pretty much pouring battery acid all over your organs).
If you have even a sliver of a design-inclined bone in your body, I highly recommend adding The Apartment by the Line to your list of LA must-dos.

Workshops at our Materials Center
Teaching Beyond the Square is excited to partner with Frances Stern in our Materials Center Workshop series, where we will go in-depth in discussing the role of materials in children's learning experiences.
Mathematical Thinking with Materials
Sunday, March 19th, 1:30 – 3:00PM
The Materials Center
197 East Broadway, Studio A
What kind of mathematical concepts are imbedded in children's play with open-ended materials? And which mathematical ideas are accessible to each age group? In this workshop, Frances will bring her extensive expertise in math education to the Materials Center, and give us a different perspective on the role of open-ended materials in children's learning experiences. We will learn from Frances how we can support children's mathematical knowledge and confidence through play and exploration with found materials. We will come away with a deeper understanding of which mathematical ideas are accessible to young children, and the kind of appropriate language we can use to build the foundation for future mathematical understanding. Children's engagement with materials can help them to begin to understand a variety of branches of mathematics, including spatial relations, geometry, measurement, logic and number sense. And it takes many exposures for children to make sense of mathematical concepts. We will discuss together how to implement and design classroom environments and activities to support this kind of learning.
Frances Stern has a master's degree in mathematics and has been teaching math and math pedagogy for more than 30 years. Her work has included teaching graduate students in NYU's Elementary Education program, mentoring teachers of struggling middle schools (through a New Visions for Public Schools NSF grant), at Central Park East I elementary school and at Hunter Elementary School. She has presented workshops for pre-k teachers, parents and caregivers at branches of the New York Public Library system. Her books, Adding Math, Subtracting Tension: A Guide to Raising Children Who Can Do Math, volume 1: pre-k to grade 2 and volume 2: grades 3 to 5 are published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, for whom she has spoken at national and regional conferences. Through the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences' Center for Mathematical Talent, she created a Math Club curriculum and teaches it to elementary school students in an East Harlem after-school program where they can play with topics not usually encountered in the classroom.
Sunday, March 19th, 1:30 – 3:00PM
The Materials Center
197 East Broadway, Studio A
Workshop fee, includes a bag of materials to take home:
$35 non-members, $20 members
Number of participants: 20

I have a thing for ruby slippers. It's a Dorothy thing. If you have ever heard me speak in front of a group - there is hardly a presentation that I make when some how The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, the Wicked Witch, the Wizard and the ruby slippers don't come up. For me, this particular story holds one of life's biggest lessons -you don't need the Wizard to solve your problems - only you have the magic to take you where you need to go. Now - I am not saying - I would never say - that remembering this is easy. I have spent a lot of time fighting off wicked witches, worrying about houses falling on me, and even ducking apples being thrown from the trees while I was skipping along in search of the wizard to save my shameless backside! Don't we all? Somehow we are convinced that there is a book, a diet, a special vitamin (is it vitamin D now?) a guru, or even that new outfit that will some how fix whatever we are struggling with. I know - because I have been down that particular yellow brick road more times than I would like to share.
Frankly - most of us don't truly believe that we can get where we need to go on our own. The fact is - just like Dorothy - I like a lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow by my side. I love having a team - companionship - friendship. For me - being alone of that yellow brick road would be very lonely. I think that is why there are so many different kinds of life coaches these days - people who specialize in supporting us along the path - but don't do it for us! I think that having a coach is helpful - I have worked with one on and off for years - and I am now a practicing life coach in the area of sexuality, self image and infertility. But that is different than looking for the Wizard to take you home.
The road to believing that we can make it happen for ourselves is complicated. It takes a level of self confidence in our own person-hood that can be hard to come by these days. I believe that it starts with making friends with our bodies - just as it is right now. I believe that it can start with making room for pleasure in your life. And I believe that it can take having some friends along yellow brick with you - simply to skip along and sing. So pick something today that will bring you closer to your body, do something that will give you pleasure - and call a friend.
Before you know it you might be clicking you heels too - knowing that you really don't need a wizard. You had it in yourself all to go where you need to go.
As for me - I can't always wear ruby slippers - the heels are just too uncomfortable - but I find it helpful to have a reminder of my own power with me at all time - so check out my toenails - they are red and sparkling! So Dorothy!

FAmiliar touch
For this new album, Familiar Touch, DIANA travelled to rural Quebec and spent five months recording in a borrowed A-frame cabin in the middle of the woods on the edge of the Ottawa River. They emerged with a record full of big ambition and considered execution. Perpetual Surrender was an homage to Balearic-inspired sophisti-pop, but Familiar Touch pulls from more far-reaching influences: suspended synth breakdowns and kaleidoscopic melodies reference everything from Roxy Music to the Cocteau Twins
Track Listing
1. Confession
2. What You Get
3. Slipping Away
4. Moment of Silence
5. The Coward
6. Miharu
7. Cry
8. Helpless
9. These Sords
10. Take it Over

Some days (or weeks) it's hard to know what to say to friends and family back at home. It's hard to know what to write in this blog.
When we left the US to come to the Africa Mercy, we knew that there would be challenges. We knew that we would be stretched. I think we had in mind the ways we would grow. But, some of it hasn't turned out as we expected. Yes, we have been challenged and stretched, and yes we have definitely grown. But God, in His wisdom had unexpected plans for where and how this growth would be accomplished.
In a training that Briana helps facilitate called Equipping to Serve, the metaphor of a rock tumbler is used to describe community life on the ship. Rough rocks are put into the rock tumbler along with salt and and other abrasives. The rocks are turned over and over and over, so that they repeatedly rub against each other and the abrasives. When the rock tumbler is opened, you can see that the rough and sharp rocks have become polished and stones.
This is what living on the ship can be like, with us rubbing against the rough edges of our fellow crew mates as the rub on our rough edges. Gods uses others as instruments of his polishing. As I think about, the same was true back at home, it was just a bit easier to hop out of the rock tumbler when it got painful.
So, how has God used this rock tumbler since we've been here? Well, I think we both had ideas about what areas we wanted to improve in while here-increasing knowledge of other cultures and languages and improving speaking ability-these seem like good safe areas to improve on. But God, it seems, had different ideas about the areas in which He wanted to work. It seems God had in mind to apply some sandpaper to rub off bits of pride, self-reliance and tendencies toward unforgiveness.
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Hebrews 12:11-12
As you lift us up in prayer, please pray for our endurance and joy in the midst of our rough edges being made smooth. As you think your own life, especially those annoyances with others, ask God to show you how He's using them to mold and shape you into the masterpiece He desires.

One of the first things Jack claims to have fallen for was my vastly original record/tape/CD collection. I've got everything from Japanese plink-plonk to African hum-hum to Library of Congress yee-haw, as well as a big chunk of stuff so suicidal-nerd-punk that he just laughs at it. The names just kill him, never mind the music. So last night we were driving to pick up a pizza at Giovanni's (they don't deliver, we don't care) and I popped in a CD. Jack listened to it for a moment or two and then said, "Who's this, The Velvet Steamirons?" "Why, yes!" I replied, "It is The Velvet Steamirons." (It was actually Coldplay's first, which is mildly depressive but also relaxingly babylike.) We got our pizza and stopped in the liquor store so Jackson could peruse the beer case and I could browse the porn (man, I thought we as a nation were over Freakishly Big Tits, but I guess I'm out of touch, and as punishment now I'll get seventy hits from jerkoffs looking for Freakishly Big Tits. THERE ARE NO TITS HERE. GO AWAY. And take the weirdos looking for pictures of forced diapering with you). We got back in the car and, as usual, Jack just wouldn't let it go. "You can't fool me," he said, "this isn't The Velvet Steamirons, it's the Pumpernickel Pimple People." I was trying to make a U-turn at this point and just about ran into a light pole.
The good news is that Sunday night is now Pizza Night, and Jackson likes it with ham and mushroom but he dinks off the pineapple. I'm like, "You liked pineapple at lunch, what's wrong with it now that it's warm and has oregano on it?" And I get a look that says, "Pineapple on a pizza? Where do you think we are, California?"

Pelleve Radiofrequency Treatment
A non-invasive skin tightening, providing visible and lasting results.
Pellevé is now FDA-cleared to safely and effectively treat mild to moderate facial wrinkles without surgery. Pelleve works by gradually and progressively heating the skin with a warming device to stimulate new collagen production, which results in the appearance of firmer skin. Unlike other skin tightening procedures,
Pelleve is virtually painless. There is no downtime associated with the procedure.
Pelleve uses new and advanced radiowave technology to heat the deepest layers of skin withoutcausing any of the skin damage associated with sunburns and skin cancer.
There is no anesthesia needed, because there will be no pain felt during the non invasive procedure. A special Pelleve hand piece will be used on the wrinkled skin. Every time this Pelleve hand piece is used, a warming sensation will be felt. Once heated, the collagen in the deepest skin layer contracts, forcing new collagen to be formed after the treatment.
This newer collagen quickly creates a smoother appearance in the uppermost layer of skin.
The entire Pelleve treatment takes between 45 minutes and an hour. This short time is possible because a Pelleve treatment does not involve any incisions or anesthesia, which are usually the most time consuming aspects of procedures.
The overall result is a noticeable improvement in skin quality and appearance with minimal side effects and recovery time. It then takes 4 to 8 weeks to see results as collagen is stimulated.
It is recommended that patients have a series of three treatments for optimal results.
A maintenance treatment every one to two years after that will help the battle against aging. It would likely help to keep your nice skin smooth. Getting a Pelleve treatment turns back the clock on the aging process and may help slow the progression of facial wrinkles, folds and loose skin that can lead patients to seek surgery later.
Pelleve Face Ironing featuring Dr Seit on A Current Affairs
Pelleve – for smoother skin, elimination or reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the tightening of sagging skin.

I approached the island at high tide. Water lapped at the edge of the roadside, following a narrow six-mile strip of land showcasing an untouched part of Georgia's low country. The shadow from a Civil War-era lighthouse —abandoned and surrounded by water on the south channel of the Savannah River — pointed towards the Atlantic Ocean as I crossed one final bridge underneath the mid-morning sun.
My car hit solid ground on the island and I passed the welcome sign, only this one had a twist: "Welcome Back!" it said, not "Welcome to...". Repeat visitors were assumed.
Twenty miles east of historic Savannah, Tybee Island rests between the prominent barrier islands of Hilton Head and the Golden Isles of Georgia. For those who can pull away from the 18th century colonial homes and clatter of horse-drawn carriages, all enveloped under Savannah's timeless Spanish moss, the city's closest beachfront destination paints a striking contrast to many of its peers in the southeast.
Lacking all inclusive resorts or even a name-brand hotel, a lost 7,000-pound nuclear bomb serves as Tybee's only claim to fame. Dropped after two Air Force jets collided in 1958, the bombs lays dormant off the coastline, undiscovered, much like the island itself.
The speed limit dropped to a crawl as I rounded the last remaining curve of Butler Avenue, the island's only street with stoplights. The rest of the slow-moving avenue — a straight shot to the other end of Tybee's two-mile coastline — offered a collection of low-rise condos, storefronts, and independent hotels. Opposite the waterfront, a YMCA, public library, and small private school gave the island a sense of community. The only grocery store: a local IGA. The island exuded a bygone era of quiet small-town beachfront locales.
I parked towards the southern end of the island and made my way to Tybee's pier, which extends into the Atlantic and offers views of Little Tybee Island to the south: a 7,000 acre, marsh-laden haven to endangered bird species, easily accessible by kayak. The beach along both sides of the pier was mostly empty of people, yet wide enough to accommodate a game of football or soccer.
Anticipating the sight of Tybee's notable landmarks, I made the journey to the island's north end by foot and was pleasantly surprised to find wooden swings nestled amongst the sand dunes dotting the coastline. Fort Screven stood overlooking the Atlantic as I neared the northeastern corner of the island. The massive structure once served as an important seacoast defense in the early to mid 20th century and has since been turned into a restaurant, along with a number of private residences dug into the stonework.
Only seven miles as the crow flies, the outline of South Carolina's Hilton Head Island was visible in the distance. Cargo ships making their way to Savannah's port also dotted the horizon.
The nearby Tybee Island Lighthouse was set back from the water and surrounded by a white picket fence dropped out of 1950s suburbia. A large house and smaller buildings were also on the 250-year-old grounds, which looked more like an ocean estate than a guiding light to mariners at sea. The 178-step lighthouse has been through several renovations in years past and was in pristine condition — a stark contrast to Fort Screven.
Faced with a few miles to my car and a quickly-setting sun, I opted to rent a bike from one of the various shops offering everything from golf carts to tandem bikes. My one-speed ocean cruiser made quick work of the sandy path and the lighthouse quickly faded away into the background, along with my brief time on the island.
I gathered my things and started the trip back to Savannah. Nearing the bridge, I caught a glimpse of Tybee's "Welcome Back!" sign in my rearview mirror. It now made perfect sense.

Otherworld Cottage Industries Confirms its July 1st Publication Date for Travis Edward Pike's Reconstructed Coffeehouse Blues CD
June 24, 2014 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment NewsJune 24, 2014 - In his 2013 book, "Odd Tales and Wonders 1964-1974: A Decade of Performance," singer-songwriter Travis Edward Pike wrote about his performances in Chelsea and Portsmouth Naval Hospitals and coffeehouses across New England in the sixties. "Reconstructed Coffeehouse Blues" is a collection of eleven audience favorites from the repertoire he composed for those venues.
Typical of all the recordings in Travis's back catalog, the songs have clearly evolved since they were first conceived between 1965-1969, but remain undeniably true to their original inspirations. For these current incantations, he and his younger brother, Adam Pike, preserved vestiges of his guitar picking and strumming, although in some cases, played on other instruments. They were all solos back then, and in these recordings for 21st century listeners, Travis held to his solo style, but sang harmonies to "Mesmerizing, Tantalizing, Hazel-eyed Jane," "She's Gonna Be A Woman Someday," and his Rhode Island pirate song "Tommy Tew Run Run," songs which, in live performance, would have elicited audience participation.
He restructured "You and I Together" as a duet and asked Adam to sing it with him, an altogether appropriate move, since Travis could never have updated and recorded his back catalog without his brother's outstanding production, engineering and musical participation. Last year's "Odd Tales and Wonders, Stories in Song" CD release of "A Red-backed, Scaly, Black-bellied, Tusked, Bat-winged Dragon" has been shortened to its original coffeehouse length and remixed for this release, with an "amusement park" accordion part added to the chorus.
But Travis's most dramatically new arrangement is for "Don't You Care At All," which one fan called "one of the finest of all antiwar songs." Travis's finger-picking still underscores the horrors of America's first televised war, but for this first ever recording, he added and sang harmony parts throughout, and featured attack helicopters, machine gun fire, air strikes and exploding napalm in the "instrumental" section, then assembled a "hippie chick" choir of friends to replace the audience participation parts his live performances once evoked.
Samples from "Reconstructed Coffeehouse Blues" are posted at http://oddtalesandwonders.com. CD Presales are now available in the Otherworld Cottage Industries online store, where digital downloads of both the album and singles from the album will go on sale on July 1st.

cartoon from the Sydney Morning Herald.
Des Pensable copyright 2014.
Last weekend in Australia was the first of a proposed series of Fossil Fuel Divestment days. The idea is to popularize the concept of people helping to fight Global Warming by moving their savings from banks and superannuation funds that invest in developing new fossil fuel projects such as coal and coal seam gas mines to banks and superannuation funds that avoid investing in fossil fuel projects.
The rationale is that if enough people move their funds then it will have a three-fold effect. Firstly it will make people aware that their savings are at significant risk of being devalued by a sudden crash of the market in fossil fuels (a carbon bubble). Secondly it will signal to the fund managers in banks and superfunds to more carefully examine the RISKS of Global Warming to the planet on their investment portfolios and finally it will reduce the amount of finance available for new fossil fuel projects. In short, if we dry up the funding for fossil fuel projects, the projects will stop.
The Divestment day was successful as judged by the interest it has created in the mass media. Divestment has been widely criticised by Australia's Global Warming denier government ministers and the Mining and Energy lobby through the media as bad for Australia's fossil fuel industry. Regardless of this hundreds perhaps thousands of people and some significant organisations including religious organisations and the Australian National University announced they were divesting. On the positive side it's started off a new fossil free investment industry.
The concept of divestment in fossil fuels is quite recent and has been developed as a key strategy to stimulate Global Warming mitigation by US scientist Bill McKibben worried about the inaction by the western world's government leaders. He argued when you look at the maths we have to keep 80% of all the known available fossil fuel reserves in the ground if we are to keep the world average temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius (2C) above the last century's average. Others believe we have to keep it all in the ground.
The 2C was the limit set by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) who have stated that all the evidence predicts that if we go above this limit then the world will likely face seriously damaging consequences which include a high sea level rise; increase in the frequency and severity of storms; increase in droughts and floods; more frequent and severe bush fires; reduction of food supplies; an increase in environmental refugees; increased international conflict and mass extinction of many plant and animal species.
The evidence also concluded that if we allow the temperature to rise more than 4 degrees C then it could well usher in the end of human civilisation. Most of the world governments including Australia have AGREED with the IPCC's findings and have signed a declaration to help stop the temperature rising above 2C but the progress towards meeting this goal especially by the main fossil fuel polluter countries has been incredibly slow. So slow in fact that unless things change DRASTICALLY almost IMMEDIATELY we will have a 4 to 6C temperature rise by the end of THIS century and quite possibly a 3C rise by 2050.
You might well ask if the world is flirting with doom why aren't our leaders doing what they are paid to do. If you ask that question you have totally missed the point that evolution tried hard to instil in all its creations. Bill McKibben is a biological scientist and understood that individuals survive because THEY ACT. They don't sit around waiting for others to act first. If you want to survive then YOU will need to act yourself.
He also understood that a large proportion of the US public are conservative people who not only don't know or refuse to accept that their own survival is at stake but also won't know how to save themselves. They rely on power figures like government or religious leaders through a mind controlling corporate media to tell them how and when to act or react. The situation is little different in Australia with our Murdoch controlled press. Divestment is a safe option for them.
If they are worried that Global Warming might be true then moving their savings from one bank or super fund to another is EASY, it reduces the RISK of financial loss and makes them feel that they have done something positive to solve the greatest crisis our planet has faced in the entire history of humanity. A crisis that we have created and could fix if we can find political leaders not owned by the fossil fuel energy industry that have the guts to do so.
So will divestment of your bank and superannuation investments save the world? Probably not but it will help focus attention on the problem, reduce your risk exposure from a carbon bubble calamity and act as a salve to your conscience, assuming that you have one. I read an article by a professor of international relations this week who stated quite blandly "We are under no obligation to leave this world a better place than we found it." I found that appalling! The real question is "Do we have an obligation to stop those who wish to mindlessly destroy it?" and the answer to that is YES!
If you want to see humanity and the rich biodiversity of life that we all take for granted SURVIVE this century. If you want air to breathe, water to drink and food to eat you had better become an ACTIVIST and fight for YOUR loved ones' survival. If you wait for others to do it for you…. you and your loved ones will probably not make it.
Thousands of ordinary everyday Aussies from all walks of life from all age groups around Australia are becoming activists – they are the new Aussie HEROES. They are fighting against Coal Seam Gas mining and the development of 91 new coal mines in Australia. They are fighting to save the Great Barrier Reef; they are fighting to get rid of our current Global Warming denier government criticised by even our closest allies.
Join them and help Australia do the right thing which is to keep most of our fossil fuels in the ground and move to a renewable clean energy future THEN help plan how to transform our whole society to one which is more sustaining and caring about our land and future.

Separate your business into 4 areas: Create, Make, Tell and Sell.
Using the Template, answer the questions in each of the areas and fill in other steps.
Alex made a living as a textile designer but wanted to be involved with his true love: running. He had been a competitive runner through college but earning a living took him in different directions. He now designed fabrics for home furnishings using computer aided design and digital printers. Alex saw the opportunity in running wear as he hated what the big companies offered. He liked the technical fabrics with the moisture wicking and soft to the touch. But, all the clothes they sold were black, red, neon yellow and blue. He wanted to design retro-looking running clothes onto a technical fabric so consumers could get the best of both worlds.
Alex broke down the business into create, make, sell and tell. Alex could design the prints on his computer and the digital printing could be done with the folks from his day job. He contacted a sports fabric company to check lead times and pricing. Most importantly, Alex talked to his running buddy Jon who worked in senior management at a large running retailer.
Alex ran the numbers to see if he could make small run technical running gear. His margins were lower than usual, but he would not have to carry so much inventory because product could be made to order. Alex and Jon agreed to try the product in 3 stores to see if the product sold. Maybe this could work.
Don wanted to do something more. He worked at an ad agency after working for a bicycling magazine. He had covered cyclocross racing, which is the fast growing segment in bicycling. He had a personality conflict with the magazine owner and left the magazine. But, he still loved cyclocross. He saw that other bicycling segments- road, triathlon and mountain biking - had social networks which made a living through selling online advertising.
Don broke down the business into create, make, tell and sell. First, he asked a co-worker how much building a website would cost. He called around to freelance bicycling journalists to see if they would have any interest in writing articles at a friends-and-family rate until the website grew.
Don contacted regional cyclocross race organizers to gauge their support. Finally, he contacted his friends at the bicycle and accessories companies to check what rates they would advertise on a cyclocross-dedicated website. Don put together a budget and looked into his own finances. He thought he could start the business as a hobby and then he and his girlfriend, a police officer, could live off her salary for a while. Once he thought through the whole chain, he thought it may be worth a shot to create a social network.
Margaret considered opening a high end housewares store in her home town. She wanted to sell to affluent tourists. She mapped out the retail process. Margaret could use her previous vendors to get favorable terms to purchase product.
She would cut a deal with her uncle who was in the process of closing a general store at a good location in town. She offered 30% of her business for 2 years free rent and $60K in working capital. Margaret would find employees who were moms that found it hard to find jobs.
When she put a budget together, she realized she would have to mark up product 2.2 - 2.5 times, or 60% gross profit margin, to make the economics work. She knew that those price points wouldn't work for locals but would work for the tourists. She also considered that the tourist season was only nine months long. After mapping out the business, she felt she had a good shot at having more money come in the door than go out.

If you are new to the world of USB microscopes, visiting a review website for the devices can be a good way to learn about the different models currently available in the marketplace. On such a website, you can find out the types of features that make a good device and what sorts of criteria you should use to compare devices against each other. In addition, you can read product reviews written by industry experts and those who have previously purchased a particular USB microscope.
It is important to understand that all microscopes have pros and cons. In order to find a device that fits your budget, you may need to make a few compromises. Keep in mind that, unless you are a professional scientist working in a world-class laboratory, you probably don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a device in order to get a microscope that meets your needs. The last thing you want to do is to overspend and end up with an admittedly brilliant device that has several features you will never use.
The mainstream availability of cheap USB microscopes has revolutionized hobby microscopy. Now, anyone with a computer can plug in a USB microscope and start recording images and videos of the microscopic world. It is in fact possible to obtain a device for as little as $30, although you shouldn't expect great image quality or magnification power from a device that cheap. Generally speaking, you should be looking to spend between $70 and $150 in order to obtain a good quality USB microscope that has a range of features and reasonable durability.
When it comes to buying your first USB microscope, it is important to take the accompanying software into consideration. You need to find out whether the software is compatible with your current computer's specs and operating system. In addition, you need to make sure that it is easy to obtain any drivers for the device you are looking to buy. While there is a lot of good free microimaging software available for download online, there is no guarantee that this type of software will be compatible with the device you buy. Therefore, it is important to make sure you obtain some dedicated manufacturer's software with your purchase. It may not shock you to learn that the main reason for USB microscope returns is an inability for the purchaser to use the accompanying software.
There are many things you need to take into account before purchasing your first USB microscope and we have only briefly discussed a few of them in this article. In order to ensure that you make an informed purchase, make sure that you visit a comprehensive, up-to-date USB microscope review site soon.
Finally, if you end up buying a microscope that you do not like, you should not be afraid to return the device for a full refund. Many online and offline stores have comprehensive return policies, which mean you don't have to keep any goods you aren't happy with for whatever reason.

The Deep End/
Social media is the bane of my existence. Its become a way for people to try and attain some sort of fame, front a facade to hide behind of, or collect a large bouquet of followers to sell to.
Artists use it to get the word out on their work. I do that by writing these articles and posting some of them on Facebook. To be honest I don't really know who reads them. I don't go around asking, "Didya readit?" It's not that I don't care, but I sorta don't care. Some people have told me off hand that they've read a post I've written. I mean, I'd love it if everyon did. The crazy thing is that I don't speak to most of the people that I'm connected to on Facebook. I can count the number of my close friends on one hand.
When I ride the train during rush hour, I find myself swimming in people facedown over lit pieces of glass. Not that I don't do that. I do. But I spend more time people watching, and there's not much to watch.
This isn't a commentary about how our society is slowly being drained of real human connection. Though, they are.
As a writer, I spend a lot of time alone because I'm either writing or critiquing my fellow writers' pages. I love the work. I also go on long hikes and walks and fall into my introverted side and become introspective. But all of that gets lonely at times. Then I go on Facebook and everyone is liking and commenting and having a jolly good time. So it seems that if I don't participate in all the likes and commenting and gushing over how good that plate of food looks, then I don't exist. I'd rather like and comment and gush over what's happening in person. That's more fulfilling than who has liked my shit on Facebook.
In what is claimed to be the longest study on happiness, Robert Waldinger states that fulfillment in life comes from real human connection. The deeper the better. That's what she said.
Now I'm presented with a choice. Do I do what everyone else is doing and put full effort into building my social media? Or do I try for deep connections with people?
Why not do both?
Both are time consuming. And for me one gives me no real satisfaction. The habit of social media is to collect followers and likes. You become a bean counter of sorts. And like material wealth, it's never enough. So you continue chasing and accruing, chasing and accruing...
It's fun at first. Much like eating a lot of candy. It's not very nutritious, eating all those empty calories.
However, forming deep connections can be difficult for me because my sensibilities are raunchy with a little bit of dry humor mixed in, peppered with a bit of hot temperedness, toss in some uncomfortable questions, and top it off with a heaping scoop of sarcasm. That's a mixture most chefs would be like...
Most of the time I'm not an asshole. I'm not asking women if I can slap their plump butt. But it's no surprise people who can't handle my mess of a personality run for the hills. Hence...count my friends on one hand. The most obvious solution is to dial my sensibilities down a notch...maybe all the way. Like take a tranquilizer gun, point it at my butt cheek, and yank the triggah. Eventually I'd wake up and be my old self again.
The real solution is to find folks who are willing to jump into the deep end of the crazy pool with me. Just to be clear I'm not that crazy. I don't go around flashing people. I don't do hardcore drugs. I don't torture animals. I torture people with my sensibilities, but I don't physically hurt them. Unless it's sexual where it hurts so good. I'm liberal so I'm accepting of people from different cultures, backgrounds, and the like. In other words, I'm aware enough where I'm not hurting anyone. If people are offended by me, then so be it. They can climb out of the deep end and scream running. I'll just float all by my lonesome.

Chevron has formed a powerful partnership with Challenger Institute's Australian Centre for Energy and Process Training (ACEPT) to provide women with the skills and confidence to make a successful transition into an engineering career pathway in the oil and gas sector.
A key focus of the course is to provide women with an insight into engineering from a female perspective and to address barriers that might discourage women from entering an engineering career in the resources sector. The initiative is built around the Certificate III in Engineering (Technical) MEM30505 which is the foundation for a range of career, employment and further education pathways in professional engineering or trades.
Participants gain an understanding of engineering career opportunities, develop technical and practical skills for engineering related careers, gain knowledge of engineering design principles, technology and practices and articulate towards employment or higher level qualifications. The program has successfully attracted women from a diverse range of ages and backgrounds to the field of engineering, from school leavers to mature-age mothers, with experience and qualifications in areas far-removed from the world of engineering such nursing and music.
This highly successful initiative has supported a 50% growth in women participating in engineering pathways at Challenger Institute since 2009.

The partnership between Tunstall and Hopewiser started in Spring 2012. Hopewiser's Addressing software is integrated into Tunstall's PNC6 solution. PNC6 is a call monitoring and management system which monitors telecare and social alarms connections, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The highly skilled workforce within these centres protect 1.7 million people in their own homes, assisted living environments and workplaces throughout the UK.
It is critical that the PNC6 systems are accurate and reliable particularly with regard to personal details. For example when a PNC6 agent receives a call they need to be confident they are capturing or looking up the correct address within their systems. It may be necessary to dispatch emergency services to this address and incorrect details can endanger lives.
One of the installations has been for East Riding Telehealth Service. In this case the existing Addressing Software within the PNC6 was exchanged with Hopewiser's API replacement technology negating the need for re-coding, changes to the interface and additional user training. The installation was successfully completed within 4 days.
With the successful implementations completed, Hopewiser's integration is now the UK default Addressing Software component module within PNC6. All new and upgraded UK customers will have this as an option.
"Hopewiser are a partner we can trust. They have shown excellent technical knowledge and are able to provide the support we need on demand. With their high level of service we are confident this partnership will go from strength to strength."
Simon Wright, Product Development Manager, Tunstall Healthcare

It was a tale of two halves Friday night for the Merrimack Tomahawks. A first half that saw them trailing by 6 at the break, and a second half the saw them storm back and overtake Salem heading into the fourth quarter. When the final buzzer sounded Merrimack was victorious 54-47.
"Any time you go on the road and can beat a Salem at Salem," said coach Goodridge, "it's a tough place to play. And we'll take this win and move on to tomorrow."
Tomorrow does present a quick turnaround as Merrimack will have to take on a tough Nashua South team in a makeup game. Starting tonight for Merrimack were Austin Franzen (#3), Zak Kerr (#4), Ian Roberts (#5), Andrew Wojciak (#11), and Dylan Richardson (#15). Salem countered with Kenny Calabrese (#12), Zach Farah (#21), Danny Nugent (#22), Jared Gott (#33) and Matthew Vartanian (#34).
Vartanian gave the Tomahawk defense fits early on. His 6'5'' framed proved to be a tough cover down low and his quick move to the basket was difficult to block. After Kerr opened the scoring, Vartanian tied the game at 2. Following two free throws by Franzen, Vartanian tied the score again.
Ian Roberts was a solution for Merrimack. His 8 points in the first half led the team. Franzen and Kerr found him frequently down low after he had slipped behind the Blue Devil defense. The big difference for Salem in the first half was three point shooting. They hit 3 threes in the second quarter as the pulled out in front. They only hit one for the rest of the game. At the end of the first half Salem leads 27-21.
The third quarter was crucial for Merrimack. Trailing 6 on the road they need to step up their intensity and did so. It was Roberts again, leading the way scoring. He scored the first 5 points of the quarter for Merrimack as their comeback began to take shape. Trailing 36-28 with just under five minutes to play Roberts drove strong to the basket, making it and drew contact. He would complete the three point play to draw Merrimack within 5. After two missed free throws by Zach Farah, Chad Seaver who was also crucial in the comeback cut the lead to three.
Seaver scored all 11 of his points in the second half as he filled in for Franzen and freshman Ian Cummings. After a timeout Salem seemed to gain momentum again feeding the ball inside to Vartanian to put the Devils up 5. But Seaver came right back down the floor with an ankle breaking move to get to the rim and score. A free throw cut the game to a two point lead for Salem, before Dylan Richardson put an exclamation point on the third quarter. Fighting for an offensive rebound he was able to put the tying basket home with 4.9 second left AND drew a foul. His free throw would give Merrimack their first lead since the opening moments of the first quarter. At the end of the third, Merrimack: 39, Salem: 38. Merrimack outscored Salem 18-11 in the quarter.
Jake Giannelli (#33) opened the scoring for Merrimack in the fourth. His defense played a big role in slowing down Matt Vartanian. Salem relied heavily on him in the first half, but he was held to 7 points in the second. Whenever the ball came his way he would be swarmed by Giannelli, Dylan Beaulieu and other Tomahawk defenders.
Merrimack was in the bonus early in the fourth and spent a majority of their time at the free throw stripe in the fourth. Although the only shot 50% for the game (13-26) their lead continued to grow. Holding the Blue Devil attack to just 9 points in the fourth quarter sealed the win for the Tomahawks who improve to 5-3 on the season in NHIAA play. It took a lot of gut and defensive adjusts to pull of the comeback, but in the end they were successful.
Final score, Merrimack: 54, Salem: 47. Ian Roberts scored a game high 16 points for the Tomahawks. Chad Seaver with his solid second half totaled 11 points, (5-11) for the free throw line.
Matt Vartanian finished with 15 for the Blue Devils. His teammate Jared Gott tallied 11 points, including 3 three-pointers.

Employee profiles will vary from business to business according to their brand, but they usually share the following elements: a visual focal point, an employee biography and online visibility. Employee profiles are a good way to present a personable brand image and encourage employee engagement.
There are three steps necessary to create an employee profile.
Step 1: Select a suitable image
Find or create an image to represent oneself. Having a personal photo taken professionally will ensure the best quality, but more important are a relaxed or friendly appearance and bright, natural lighting. Alternatively, in lieu of a personal photograph, use an avatar or any other image that represents one's personality.
Step 2: Write a biography
Write a short description of the person's role within the company, along with details of why this role is a good fit. This might include personal interests, skills or hobbies. Be sure to project professionalism, however, and keep in mind how different readers might respond to the kind of language and content chosen.
Step 3: Publish and share
Sharing employee profiles via social networking is a good way of increasing visibility, but it is important to make sure that social networking accounts linked to the employee profile are in line with the company image.

My husband's ex-lady-collage is a member of this calligraphy school.
|Entrance of the 'Civic Center Hall' of next city;
You can see 'sulfuric acid bottle' decorated; I posted about it here.
I feel so sorry that I didn't translate the meaning of the works. Please consider them as art with ink and brush.

Things arent going so well for us. But something a friend left on my VM irked me enough to write. Note: None of what I am about to say has been embellished.
Someone who is perfectly healthy, and owns their own home, told me how lucky I was to have a job (they are unemployed and piddled around until their UI ran out, spent loads on beer and women). Im facing eviction, Im so sick that the 3hr daily commute is literately killing me. I spend about 1/4 of what I DO make on transportation to/from work. And the worst part is HE KNOWS THIS!
I understand depression, I live it every day. Its a struggle physically and mentally to get out of bed each day. So when someone that is COMPLETELY PHYSICALLY HEALTHY tells me that I am "so lucky", its not just that they don't GET IT, they don't care too. I would trade situations with them in a hear beat. Trade being chronically ill with a disease said to be so rare, it doesn't exist, a non-functioning pituitary gland, and the fatigue of a 90 year old man, the bills piling up, the constant fear of homelessness, with that of a fairly healthy, unemployed home owner.I love the guy like family, but c'mon!
Mrs. Zebra's UI ran out and she hasn't been able to find work. Ive been busy either working or doing work at home for people to get my name out there. When I can make my own schedule, I can do some work. But that is hard to tell an employer. We've had some help from good friends, who I like to refer to as "adopted family".
Christmas was rough. I miss my brother, and I think my blood relatives are mad at me. Mrs. Zebra and I had a very quite Christmas yesterday. Just tried not to think about the fact that our first Christmas in our new home might be our last. I have a little work in the pipeline, but it could take until March to pay out. I hate asking for help, from anyone, but we desperately need it. If you can help, it would be much appreciated. If you use paypal, you can click the link on the top, left of this page. Otherwise, if you want to help, send me a message.
The very scared and humble weary zebra.
