Art Fair
The 14th edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach closed
The 14th edition of Art Basel in Miami Beach closed amid reports of strong sales and an enthusiastic reception from collectors, institutions, gallerists and critics from across the Americas and the world
Pairing curated installations of Modern and contemporary work with stimulating programming, Art Basel's 2015 edition featured strong sales across all levels of the market. Presenting 267 leading international galleries from 32 countries, the show attracted an attendance of 77,000 over five days, including major private collectors as well as directors, curators, trustees and patrons of nearly 200 museum and institution groups. Collectors from over 110 countries attended the show, with first- time collectors coming from Cambodia, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Romania, Togo and Zimbabwe. The show was spearheaded by Noah Horowitz, Art Basel's newly appointed Director Americas.
Art Basel, whose Lead Partner is UBS, once again confirmed its position as the premier art fair in the Americas, with over half of all exhibitors having gallery spaces in the region. Along with a robust roster of returning galleries – reflecting a 98 percent reapplication rate – 29 exhibitors participated in Miami Beach for the first time, including several young European galleries: Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler (Berlin), Galeria Plan B (Cluj, Berlin), Galerie Gregor Staiger (Zurich) and KOW (Berlin). Three galleries from Asia came to Miami Beach for the first time: Beijing Art Now Gallery (Beijing), Tokyo Gallery + BTAP (Tokyo, Beijing) and White Space Beijing (Beijing). New galleries from the United States included George Adams Gallery (New York), Castelli Gallery (New York), Essex Street (New York), François Ghebaly Gallery (Los Angeles) and Jenkins Johnson Gallery (San Francisco, New York).
Attendees included curators, directors and patrons groups from important institutions from around the world, including Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago); Aspen Art Museum (Aspen); Burger Collection (Hong Kong); Brooklyn Museum (New York); Centre Pompidou (Paris); Cleveland Museum of Art (Cleveland); Carnegie Museum (Pittsburgh); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington, D.C.); Institute of Contemporary Arts (London); KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin); La Maison Rouge – Fondation Antoine de Galbert (Paris); Los Angeles County Museum of Art (Los Angeles); Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires); Museo de Arte de Lima (Lima); The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York); Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City); The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (Los Angeles); Museu de Arte de São Paulo (São Paulo); Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Chicago); Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (Cleveland); Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (Houston); Museum of Modern Art (New York); MoMA PS1 (New York); Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas); Palais de Tokyo (Paris); Philadelphia Art Museum (Philadelphia); The Power Plant (Toronto); Serpentine Galleries (London); Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York); Tate (London); Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) and Whitney Museum of American Art (New York).
Participating galleries described their experiences with enthusiasm: 'It was surprising to see how Art Basel in Miami Beach, which already had in the previous years a top standard, could still increase its level by showing high quality art and  attracting many new collectors from around the world. We are very happy that we could place all of the important works we brought, and were positively surprised by the connoisseurship of many visitors.' Thaddaeus Ropac, Founder & Director, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris, Salzburg 'We wish we had brought more work because we've sold 80 percent of the booth. We're really happy that sales have been across the board from historical to younger artists.' Andrea Rosen, President, Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York 'We had an excellent fair, if not one of the best Art Basel in Miami Beach shows ever. We sold a number of high quality pieces. There was sales activity every day, not only at the opening, with a good mix of new contacts and returning collectors.' Annette Kicken, Owner, Kicken Berlin, Berlin 'We usually do well at this fair, but this year, we had an exceptional experience and sold out the entire booth on the first day. Collectors are informed, thoughtful and very actively interested, so this has been a truly exhilarating experience for us.' Susanne Vielmetter, Owner / Director, Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Culver City 'Art Basel in Miami Beach gets stronger each year, and the key factor in its success is the mix of collectors buying emerging artists along with collectors, museums and foundations buying mid-career and historic work at much higher price points. Visitors are focused on the fair itself, rather than being distracted outside. I only wish that all fairs could be to the ultimate level of Art Basel.'

Restricted Expression
February 13, 2017
Censorship of artwork creates a division between the Fine Arts Department and the administration
The University Prep website states that the goals of our Fine Arts Department are "inspiring students to take risks" and "connecting the artistic experience to movements in social justice." However, when students did just that, they were told that their work wasn't appropriate.
The issue of censorship is complex. Students, teachers and administrators have struggled to find an appropriate answer that fits our entire community. Does restricting student artwork make UPrep more inclusive, or does the censorship leave students and teachers feeling unsupported by the administration?
This controversy began when the the Fine Arts Department started turning its focus to current and sensitive topics. "Students are creating work that's often difficult and challenging because the topics that they're engaging are difficult and challenging," art teacher Dana Bettinger said.
Because of this shift, the controversy over censorship has become more prominent. Last year, art teacher E-chieh Lin's photography class completed a project in which students were encouraged to express their opinions about issues that were important to them, such as sexual assault. When Lin hung their art in the halls, she was asked to take some of her students' work down.
Junior Abigail Donner, a student of Lin's class, produced art about gender equity that involved explicit language the administration found inappropriate and then censored. When Donner was asked to remove her work from the halls, she was frustrated. "The school wasn't doing what it claims to do. I think the school claims to value social justice, but only as long as it's convenient," Donner said.
As a teacher, Lin found the response from the administration perplexing. "[Some of the administrators] seemed to think that I was not going to defend my students," Lin said. "How would anyone ever believe that I would not defend my students?"
Junior Kiana Ting, who created controversial pieces one of which quoted President Donald Trump's vulgar language felt similarly. "I felt like the school was saying that these issues aren't important and we should try to hide and cover them up," Ting said.
The administration argues that without proper context, art pertaining to difficult topics can easily be misinterpreted. "I would like to have deeper reflection where we challenge our community to look at art and understand it," Head of School Matt Levinson said.
Members of the Fine Arts Department have found this critique confusing. "With all our pieces we ask students to make an artist's statement explaining why they're doing that particular work," Lin said. "The context is there. It's the choice of the viewer to read it."
The administration tries to be mindful of the whole community. "When you open the front door, you want a welcoming space," Head of Upper School Ken Jaffe said.
Levinson sees that controversial works of art could be inappropriate, especially for younger students. "It's a constant tension between wanting to support freedom and being mindful that we're a community of students between the ages of 11 and 18," he said.
Bettinger believes that art better connects younger students to social justice topics. "I don't want to underestimate a young person's capacity to engage that material. A lot of our problems stem from the fact that we don't openly address these issues."
Art teacher Ray Yang has a similar view. "It's not like [students] go away from eighth grade and come back and can totally handle [complex societal issues]. We have to teach them to [understand these topics] and I think that art class is a good space for this," he said.
The administration is wary that students walking around the school often don't have a choice to view a provocative art piece. "Spaces where people don't have a choice to enter have to be thoughtfully adorned," Jaffe said.
Teachers of the Fine Arts Department think that hanging somewhat controversial art on the walls is a way to get people thinking about important issues. "Art is strongest when it's engaging personal identity and what's happening in the world," Bettinger said. "Having the opportunity to think and create about these issues earlier allows you to develop better critical thinking around things that are super messy."
Art teachers worry that it can be discouraging to students when the administration limits freedom of expression. "I've had students say they're not sure if they can go down a certain road because they're not sure if they can hang it up or if there will be repercussions from making the work," Talbot said.
Even if that was the effect, Jaffe explained that this was not the administration's intended result. "We certainly don't want to discourage students from being passionate about social justice and demonstrating that through art," he said.
On all sides of the issue it's understood that the conversation around the presentation of provocative artwork is important. "Controversy isn't necessarily a bad thing," Bettinger said. "My hope is that we come to those conversations with an open heart and an open mind, and engage them in a way where we look for the best outcome for everyone."

11. Nespresso Creatista Plus Coffee Machine by Sage: £44 John Lewis
We deliberated about whether to include this capsule-only machine because its forte really lies in its multiple milk foam textures – the first Nespresso machine to do so – which means that you can get creative with flat white, cappuccino, lattes and macchiatos. But because the plain espressos are also so goo we decided to go for it. Speed is a strong point too – both in heating up and in cleaning.

Everything's About the Saudis These Days
Is there something else we're not supposed to be noticing?
I recently wrote about "Weasel words" and now I have to do it again! When you see them, you need to know you're being conned.
CBC: A Quebecer spoke out against the Saudis - then learned he had spyware on his iPhone
About the only things said in definite terms were these:
The report goes on to say that "Public Safety has yet to respond to a request for comment", but it doesn't actually say that Public Safety was ever contacted. We're supposed to assume that.
The Director of the research unit, Ron Diebert, is an absolute expert at weasel words:
You can read the detailed report of the research here.
Okay, note that all that took place back in June, yet nothing was said about it until October 1. And then it isn't until October 14 that we are told that Omar had been in phone contact with the missing-and-presumed-dead "journalist" Jamal Khashoggi.
What if Khashoggi was a Saudi plant and not just an innocent dissident (like Omar) writing for the fake news experts at the Washington Post. (Read all about him at PennyforyourThoughts)
What would that make Omar Abdulaziz?
What this latest report does is boost the story that Khashoggi was abducted by the Saudis. And it certainly tweaks Omar's own importance. (Oh, gawd, is he going to become another Mubin Sheikh?)
CBC: Quebec dissident believes Saudis used spyware to eavesdrop on his chats with Jamal Khashoggi
Well, the RCMP are investigating, so that's okay then. They can't find over a thousand missing Native women, but maybe there are some things they're good at. Especially if they themselves are the ones who infected Omar's phone. It's their job to be watching out for potential terrorists, isn't it?
Keep in mind that an Israeli firm was said by the researchers to be the innovator of the spyware they say may have infected Omar's phone. It's said to be very expensive, and therefore only accessible to the well-funded, but the RCMP and CSIS have proved in the past to have lots of money to throw at infiltrators.
Omar Abdulaziz is terribly brave about the problems he says he's caused his mother and brothers, as well as what he believes is Khashoggi's predicament, all due to Omar's own activities.
As he says, they wouldn't harm him on Canadian soil and they couldn't get Khashoggi until he went to Turkey. It's like the old saying, "I'm allright Jack; pull in the ladder"
It's not easy to keep all of the current international intrigues straight, but the biggest mystery seems to me to be why Omar ordered all that protein powder. And we haven't been told if he ever received it. That's going to keep me awake tonight, for sure.
I've read that protein powder is not good for you, but I never knew until now just how dangerous it could be.
15/10/2018 10:32:43 am
Hi Penny: Omar says that Khashoggi was going to "sponsor" his university campaign against lack of freedom in Saudi Arabia. Interesting that the media didn't question how.
17/10/2018 10:14:49 pm
First of all, thanks for the link, Penny.
Don't look at it so much as Saudi Arabia falling out of favour- just think of it as a new/improved Saudi Arabia being more favoured.
18/10/2018 10:18:48 am
Yeah, I keep forgetting about Israel, I guess because the US is way more out in front. I saw it as another US military base hemming in Russia, but it's just as much a boon for Israel, if not more so. I can't stand to look at photos of Netanyahu anymore; he's just a thoroughly corrupt individual. I still think the glue is the truth about 9/11. If any of the three countries revealed it, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. They have to get along come hell or high unowut. Even if GWB (or Cheney) confesses on his deathbed, the public will not hear of it.

Hollywood: US Presidential candidate Donald Trump, at an election rally today, lashed out at Bollywood exports Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone for taking away jobs of American actresses looking to make it big in Hollywood.
Speaking to his supporters at Nevada rally he screamed, "These bollywood women are invading our country. I thought Baywatch was distinctively American. I was watching Pammy (Pamela Anderson ) the other day and got nostalgic. Just couldn't control my tears. We need more American women in Hollywood. They (Priyanka and Deepika ) are taking our jobs away."
"If I am elected the President, I promise 50% reservation for American women in Hollywood. Not just that, actors like Vin Diesel and Brad Pitt, who agree to work with bollywood will be taxed more," he added as crowd chanted 'Trump for President'.
Sources within Trump's camp also revealed that several Republican supporters are planning a sit-down on interstate railway tracks to mark their protest.
Prominent Republican supporters called Vin Diesel anti-national for posing with Deepika Padukone. Dwayne The Rock Johnson was also trolled on twitter for his selfie with Priyanka Chopra.
There were a few feeble voices of support for Priyanka and Deepika from Trump crtics who dubbed his latest tirade as 'lousy bunch of antics'. "Bollywood actors are welcome in Hollywood. Trump should stop this campaign of hatred," said Sally Johnson, who is part of Dump the Trump campaign.
Trump supporters however are in no mood to listen. "You cannot dump Trump. If you do, a Trump will emerge from every house," screamed a supporter.

The only thing that usually comes between a true football fan and his or her high definition flat screen is a coffee table covered with high fat and high calorie munchies. But it doesn't need to be that way. There are loads of game day snacks for those looking to punt the fat, but not the flavor.
"Snacking away through four quarters of football can lead to overeating," said Patricia Salzer, a registered dietitian and wellness consultant at Univera Healthcare. She has tips to reduce the fat and calories, while adding taste and nutritional value to your game day spread. To cut down on the amount of fat consumed, Salzer recommends serving baked tortilla chips instead of the traditionally fried version. Baked tortilla chips make just as good a base for nachos, which can be stacked high with layers of cilantro, shredded lettuce, beans, fresh avocado, and diced tomatoes and jalapenos. If you're adding ground beef, use the kind labeled "90 percent lean, 10 percent fat," and be sure to drain away the grease.
When preparing chip dips such as taco dip or Buffalo chicken wing dip, Salzer uses low-fat cream cheese, shredded cheese, Greek yogurt and light sour cream. With a dip such as salsa, she says it doesn't matter if it's from a jar or freshly made.
It may be most difficult to imitate chicken wings ‒ especially when they are deep fried and tossed in a butter-based sauce, but Salzer also has alternatives to this game day staple. "Try baking chicken breast strips and dipping them in hot sauce," she said. Or try her recipe for baked "cauliflower wings." Remember, the simplest recipe of all comes from the produce section of your favorite grocery store. Munching on a veggie platter ensures a healthy serving of vegetables that are rich in vitamins and nutrients. Crunch away on celery, broccoli, bell peppers and carrots, but be wary of dipping veggies in ranch or a similar dressing which could load on the calories. Come game day, every fan wins when healthier options are on the menu.
Cauliflower Wings
• 1¼ cups milk (fat free is fine)
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 head cauliflower, chopped into bite-size pieces
Buffalo sauce
• ½ cup cayenne pepper sauce such as Frank's Red Hot
• 1 stick butter
• ½ tsp white vinegar
• ¼ tsp kosher or sea salt
Garnishes and dip
• Baby carrots and celery
• Make dressing by blending blue cheese crumbles with plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
1. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or foil (spray if foil) and set aside.
2. In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let sit for five minutes. Add the flour and garlic powder and stir to combine.
3. Dredge the cauliflower pieces in the milk/flour mixture and place on the baking sheets, leaving a little room between each piece. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. While cauliflower is baking, combine hot sauce, margarine, vinegar and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Remove cauliflower from the oven and cover with hot sauce mixture. Toss to coat completely. Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes.
6. Serve with celery, carrots, and blue cheese dressing.

You're strolling through the store and checking out labels: one says 'sustainable', another claims to be 'biological'. Are you convinced that these brands practice what they preach? Do you sometimes wonder: 'How do I know for sure?' To convince you of Bloom's sustainability we like to be as transparent as possible.
One of our 3 'Mother rules' is that products should last a lifetime. Parts like the LED's, which can last up to 8 – 10 years, should be easily interchangeable. (8 years is already quite crazy, you can read how we do this in the next paragraph!) How can you change it? We placed the LED's on 1 board, so you can easily slide it out and replace it by a new LED board. You'll be able to buy this through our webshop at purchase rate.
We really paid attention to every detail. That's why we chose to use Torx screws in our design. Hereby the screws will not wear out after opening and closing the module a few times.
All of Bloom's main parts are made out of aluminium. Apart from the fact that this is the most recyclable metal, the aluminium profile also makes sure that the LED's are properly cooled. The temperature in the extrusion profile strongly affects the lifespan of the LED's and the long-term quality of the light spectrum.
Other grow lights on the market are mostly made out of plastic which makes it difficult for the LED's to cool. In a plastic housing the LED spectrum can deviate up to 50% in the first six month of lifetime. You might not see it with the human eye but no doubt that your plants will feel it.
We have developed our own LED board and can easily guarantee 80% of the original spectrum at 8 years.
Our products should not only work in the long run, they also should preserve their good looks. That's why we chose the technique of anodisation instead of powder coating. This is much more expensive but as already said before we like to choose the quality option. 🙂 You can compare the technique of anodisation to a tattoo, where the (black) ink is firmly attached to the product. Whereas for powder coating, the paint can peel off after time (for example when placed in the sun). Furthermore, the anodisation layer is 15 micrometer, which is highly exceptional (a lot of suppliers thought we were exaggerating) but we want to make sure Bloom will stay black for the rest of your life (and beyond)!

With a software-based approach, IT organizations see a better return on their storage investment. DataCore's software-defined storage provides improved resource utilization, seamless integration of new technologies, and reduced administrative time - all resulting in lower CAPEX and OPEX, yielding a superior TCO.
A survey of 363 DataCore customers found that over half of them (55%) achieved positive ROI within the first year of deployment, and 21% were able to reach positive ROI in less than 6 months.
Download this white paper to learn how software-defined storage can help reduce data center infrastructure costs, including guidelines to help you structure your TCO analysis comparison.
With so many moving pieces involved in business continuity and disaster recovery planning, anticipating the downstream impact of new SAN arrays, hyperconverged systems, and disaster recovery site relocation is increasingly more difficult. Download this white paper to learn how DataCore SDS services help you adapt your safeguards accordingly in the face of these common initiatives and business challenges:
• Storage Array Replacement• Mergers and Acquisitions• Cloud Replication• Hyperconverged Infrastructure• Multi-Site Metro Cluster
The emphasis on fast flash technology concentrates much attention on hot, frequently accessed data. However, budget pressures preclude consuming such premium-priced capacity when the access frequency diminishes. Yet many organizations do just that, unable to migrate effectively to lower cost secondary storage on a regular basis.In this white paper, explore:
• How the relative proportion of hot, warm, and cooler data changes over time• New machine learning (ML) techniques that sense the cooling temperature of data throughout its half-life• The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in migrating data to the most cost-effective tier.
Hyperconverged holds out the promise of helping consolidate your infrastructure. It can seem like the "easy button" to deploying storage in remote locations or for VDI. But "easy" often comes with tradeoffs—like performance limitations that don't support enterprise applications.
At DataCore, we believe you should expect more from hyper-converged infrastructure—more performance, more efficiency, and seamless all-in-one management across your hyper-converged devices and your existing enterprise storage.
IDC has taken a look at the limitations of hyper-converged and how you can get more. Read the free IDC report to learn:

Tony Horwitz, who knows less than nothing about Israel, reviewed Israel is Real: An Obsessive Quest to Understand the Jewish Nation and its History by Rich Cohen, who knows just nothing, no more, no less. These two are among those who are nostalgic for the European (and Muslim) Diaspora that dealt so civilly with its Jews in exile, as the Times itself felt during the most searing years.
In "Paper Cuts," a Times "blog about books" (September 1), Steven Coates collects letters to the editor about the review. Not a one supports Cohen and not a one supports Horwitz either.
The fact is that if you are a half-wit knowing nothing about politics and less than nothing about a sure way to get published is to write about Israel. Many people have tried it and succeeded. Hey, try it yourself.
And give half your fee to the Jewish National Fund, which made it all possible.

Recently for a class I was assigned to read Stories in the Land, a collection of stories published by the Orion Society describing the projects undertaken by teachers who received their place-based education fellowships. The introduction mentions a list of twenty-seven questions from the book Deep Ecology intended to help someone judge how well they know the region where they live. (I haven't read Deep Ecology yet, but it's on my list.) I was intrigued, and with a little Googling I managed to track down the questions.
- Trace the water you drink from precipitation to tap.
- How many days until the moon is full (plus or minus a couple of days)?
- Describe the soil around your home.
- What were the primary subsistence techniques of the culture that lived in your area before you?
- Name five native edible plants in your bioregion and their season of availability.
- From what direction do winter storms generally come in your region?
- Where does your garbage go?
- How long is the growing season where you live?
- On what day of the year are the shadows the shortest where you live?
- Name five trees in your area. Are any of them native? If you can't name names, describe them.
- Name five resident and any migratory birds in your area.
- What is the land-use history by humans in your bioregion during the past century?
- What primary geological event/process influenced the landform where you live?
- What species have become extinct in your area?
- What are the major plant associations in your region?
- From where you are reading this, point north.
- What spring wildflower is consistently among the first to bloom where you live?
- What kinds of rocks and minerals are found in your bioregion?
- Were the stars out last night?
- Name some beings (non-human) that share your place.
- Do you celebrate the turning of the summer and winter solstice? If so, how do you celebrate?
- How many people live next door to you? What are their names?
- How much gasoline do you use a week, on the average?
- What energy costs you the most money? What kind of energy is it?
- What developed and potential energy resources are in your area?
- What plans are there for massive development of energy or mineral resources in your bioregion?
- What is the largest wilderness area in your bioregion?
A couple of these are a little, well, granola (celebrate the solstices? I'm certainly aware of them, but I'm not a pagan). They're still food for thought, though. I could rattle off native tree species and resident and migratory birds without even pausing to think. The question about where my garbage goes initially brought me up short, though (a little more Googling confirmed there's a landfill outside Eagle River), and I find it surprisingly hard to keep track of where north is when I'm inside a building!
What about you? Which questions can you answer off the top of your head?

No More Starfucker, Name Change Imminent
By Eve Marcellus
"We know our name sucks...so here is YOUR chance to help us pick a new one...And the truth is, we never thought we'd make it this far with Starfucker. It started as just a fun little house-show project, but now that we have the opportunity to do this full-time, travel and continue making music, we don't feel like the name makes sense anymore..." - Starfucker
Starfucker, the fun four-piece electro-pop band out of Portland, is changing it's name. My personal response was far from surprise: I've always thought "you can't get famous with a name like that." Apparently, they feel the same way. The band put out a Myspace bulletin on September 8th announcing it's intention to change their name and inviting their fans to get in on the action. If your name is selected, you will get tons of cool shit... tons! Deadline for ideas is October 1st-ish.
So, at least they're honest. The name doesn't actually suck but rather unfairly limits them. Things for the band have shaping up in recent months and haven't showed any signs of slowing down. They're on a national headlining tour and have licensed their songs to Target, IBM, and Weeds. Pretty serious stuff. Since the music is not nearly as potty-mouthed as their name would suggest, a new identity, at least in name, will more than likely open even more doors. We have seen other major artists switch it up with little-to-no fanfair (ehem, Santigold) so while the comments on their Myspace and Facebook accounts would suggest otherwise, this probably won't rock the boat too much. This is good news, especially if you have a long list of great potential band names but no band. And who doesn't?
Bay Area folks can catch them live (do it, it's ridiculously fun) on October 7th at Bottom of the Hill. Make sure to pick up some vinyl or other merch if you go, it might be worth something some day.
Check back soon, as SFCritic interviews Starfucker about their name, and what's next.
To be involved with their name change:
*Email your ideas to:
*tell in person at the merch table at a show

Shannon Chmura has a unique temp job: recruiting other temp workers.
She does that for Keystone Clearwater Solutions, which looks for workers for companies such as Pennsylvania American Water to work on water management systems.
This is Chmura's second temp job in a row. She worked for six months last year as a human resources assistant for the Cascades Tissue Group, which has plants in Ransom and Pittston townships.
"For me, I was OK with a temporary position because I plan on moving out of state somewhere this summer or the end of summer," said Chmura, 40, a Scranton resident and single mom, whose son will start college later this year at Arcadia University in Montgomery County. "I have no ties here."
A Clearwater, Florida, area native, Chmura plans to move back there to pursue her dream job as a flight attendant. She can live with her parents while training, which requires being near an airport — Tampa International, in her case — larger than the one here because that's where airlines train staff.
Chmura represents a trend. Some companies still want temporary workers, but perhaps more than ever, other companies, the temp workers themselves, and the government-based employment agencies who help them want them to find steady employment.
In a job market tightened because of years of declining unemployment — even here, the rate dropped 4.6 percent in January — companies seek permanent workers rather than temps, said Cathy Gerard, site administrator for Pennsylvania CareerLink Lackawanna County. Temp agencies still regularly recruit at CareerLink, which is what Chmura was doing there on a recent day, but they aren't the only ones.
"We do have employers recruiting all the time here now," Gerard said.
The trend matches better with a CareerLink whose mission has shifted dramatically over the last four decades.
CareerLink, 135 Franklin Ave., Scranton, used to serve as the unemployment office. It's really not that anymore. Applying for unemployment compensation happens all online now, except for a few stations at CareerLink for people who still don't have computers or ran into trouble with their online applications.
It's no longer "the jobs board" either, as Gerard called past recruitment through unemployment office bulletin boards where companies pinned their help wanted ads for prospective employees.
"You would come in and take a number. And when your number was called, you would see somebody (a staffer who screened your skills)," she said.
The permanence that Chmura seeks as a flight attendant now better describes CareerLink's mission — beefing up a potential employee's skills for a job that lasts and matching that to a local job market that needs the skills.
"I call it, 'You don't know what you want to be when you grow up' because you took a job right out of high school and now the company's closed, and 'What am I going to do next?' " said Gerard, who has worked at various jobs helping people find jobs since 1979.
In the old days, the unemployment office waited for people to come in. Nowadays, CareerLink reaches out to potential employees and employers.
"We have two customers — our job seekers and our employers," Gerard said.
Several years ago, the state actually outsourced parts of CareerLink's duties to private companies. Educational Data Systems Inc., based in Dearborn, Michigan, manages laid-off workers, helping them write résumés, practice interviewing skills and arrange training for new jobs.
ResCare Inc., with headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, operates CareerLink's programs for younger workers 16 to 24 years old. The state Office of Vocational Rehabilitation still works with disabled workers.
Those groups concentrate on matching workers to local "high-priority occupations." Each year, the state Center for Workforce Information and Analysis compiles a "high-priority occupation list" with the list containing the likeliest available jobs in a market. CareerLink can help people interested in these jobs with money for training.
"Those are the only areas that we can do training in," Gerard said. "In other words, you're only spending federal dollars where there's jobs. You're not training people for a job that doesn't exist."
Decades ago, state officials often met a mass layoff with worker training for jobs that didn't exist locally. The goal is to avoid that now.
According to the latest "high-priority occupation" list, from 2018, the top-paying entry-level job in the local market is civil engineer, $61,260, but that requires at least a bachelor's degree; only eight jobs open up yearly, and the number available locally will expand by only 20 between 2014 and 2024.
The best job prospects are for someone who wants to become a registered nurse. That requires a bachelor's degree, but the pay starts at $45,350 a year and rises to $67,080 with experience, with 91 openings a year and the number of jobs expanding by 360 by 2024.
The most available and best-paying jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree are licensed practical and vocational nurses, who can start at $34,910 and earn $48,000 a year with experience, and heavy equipment operators/tractor-trailer drivers, who can start at $31,810 and earn $51,080 with experience.

Jason Day Wins The Players Championship
Jason Day wins the 2016 Players Championship while not having his "A" game!
His warm-up routine is like a lot of other players at this level and the PGA shot a video cataloging it.
A few weeks ago I watched a ladies mini-tour event here at one of the local courses. Their warm-up routines were vastly different than that of world class players!
The first thing they did was to go the tee and start hitting full shots, short game practice was an afterthought! I watched a couple of different players who struck the ball very well. Once they had finished "warming" up they spent about 10 minutes total on short game.
I see a LOT of amateurs go straight to the range, trying to find their game, then hit 5-6 putts and go straight to the tee! About the 13th hole they get in a rhythm but by then it's too late.
Follow this example and you might shot lower scores!
You can see the video here,
If you REALLY want to improve your game, come see us! For more information shoot us an email.

Where would you (currently) place yourself on the Map of Consciousness? Add your answer in the form below.
Image borrowed from Pinterest.
The Map of Consciousness was put together by Dr David Hawkins. Click on the link to learn more about him and his work.
"Over 250,000 muscle testing calibrations spanning 30 years of multiple research studies conducted by The Institute for Spiritual Research, Inc., Dr. Hawkins defined a range of values that correspond to levels of consciousness which include well-recognized attitudes and emotions. With a logarithmic scale of 1 to 1,000 and the Map of Consciousness® format that he developed, Dr. Hawkins explains the classification and characteristics of these energy fields to make them easily comprehensible and useful in daily life.
It is important to realize that the calibration figures do not represent an arithmetic but a logarithmic progression. Thus, the level 300 is not twice the amplitude of 150; it is 300 to the tenth power. An increase of even a few points therefore represents a major advance in power.
The ways the various levels of human consciousness express themselves are profound and far reaching. Levels below 200 are detrimental to life in both the individual and society at large; those above 200 are constructive expressions of power. The decisive level of 200 is the fulcrum that divides the general areas of force and power-Truth from falsehood." – Veritaspub.com

Discover the joy of sailing and experience the most beautiful scenery Sri Lanka has to offer from the sea. Swim in clear waters, snorkel reefs, and enjoy the fun of stand up paddle boarding.
Visiting Sri Lanka with friends we were told about Sail Lanka and to consider it as a trip… so we did and it was amazing. The views were amazing, the scenery was spectacular and blue whales made an appearance. The food was absolutely out of this world with your onboard chef, combined with fresh fish… caught by the crew.. you get the point! The crew is generally friendly and welcoming, although I found that only the captain seemed willing to chat with us at times. This sometimes reflected on the service outside of meal times, in terms of provision of cold drinks, water or snacks. Which I really feel is missing a trick for the company, as well as guests in terms of satisfaction and service. All in all, I would highly, highly recommend! You can BYO alcohol for a small corkage charge too… just in case that's important to anyone Bring plenty of high factor sunscreen and your own sea sickness meds etc Read more "aaronmcg891"
On the 11th April 2019, it's on the jetty of Mirissa SriLanka, we were briefed the day program by the ship captain Ashan followed by a delicious breakfast prepared by the Chef Shantha. As anticipated by the tour Organizer Mahesh it didn't take much time of sailing before we witnessed a massive group of Dolphins.… Few miles further on deep water we were so fortunate to sea to our eyes huge WHALES. It was an amazing sight to see how WHALES are dominating the deep water. On our way back ship anchored in a beautiful calm area where we had a lovely spa bath. Enjoyed another delicious platter of seafood lunch prepared by the Chef Shantha. Tour was well supported by the other two crew members Asanka & Malith. We all were excited !!! Memorable !!!!!. Thanks to Sail-Lanka. Read more "Reshan G"
Traveling from Passikudah to Trincomalle was well worth the two-hour journey from the UGA Escape Resort, where we initially expected to board the Topez Catamaran, unfortunately, we were a week or so too early pending the arrival, hence the reason we drove to Trincomalee we were greeted on board Sail Lanka Charter Catamaran
Sapphire… having booked the afternoon 3-hour experience by no fewer than two Captains namely Kumara and Madhu who greeted us with perfection, to our surprise, there was only four of us on board so it certainly felt like a private exclusive charter
We choose the afternoon sailing experience as we were making a video on board that required the sun to be at a certain angle to give a perfectly well-balanced video picture. The experience on board was an experience and a half culminating with a snorkeling session on the reef in the vicinity of-of the Koneswaren. Temple My wife joined the snorkel team assisted by Captain Kumaru, despite that fact she had previously had no experience of swimming, It was fantastic afternoon calm water and well worth the effort of the long drive. A video was made during our trip to the East Coast of Sri Lanka which included footage of the UGA Escape Resort Passikudah as well as onboard the Captain Sapphire Catamaran of Sail Lanka Charter. The video hopefully will be released on youtube in June 2019 and is titled "Sarendib" The Lion Island Read more "Ron C"
After a fully packed week traveling around the center and southern part of Sri Lanka, we enjoyed three unforgettable and relaxing days on catamaran "Jade". The crew at our disposal could not have been better: Captain Samitha, chef Ranjith, lifeguard Viduranga and Crew assistant Janaka took care of all our needs and wishes. Thanks to… them we got very close to a blue whale (what a feeling!), pilot whales and dolphins. We enjoyed the delicious dishes, all freshly prepared by Ranjith. Our boys enjoyed the fishing with the crew, the result of which was part of our lunch. The catamaran was comfortable and spacious; with its 4 cabins, it was perfect for our group of 8. We absolutely do recommend this local charter company! Read more "Piki-Travellers"

Mundy and Jedward. Jedward and Mundy. No matter how you say it, those are three words that just don't seem to belong together in the same sentence. Or in the same photo. But there they are together (see below), standing shoulder to shoulder in HMV at the in-store launch of Mundy's previous studio album Strawberry Blood in April 2009.
Back then, the brothers Grime were just another couple of star-struck schoolboys having their photo taken with Birr's beloved troubadour, whose stock had never been higher after his and Sharon Shannon's cover of Steve Earle's 'The Galway Girl' had become the biggest selling single in Ireland in 2008.
The photo is also notable because it is Mundy, not John and Edward, who is wearing the make-up. Maybe that's where they picked up their love of lipstick . . .
Soon the boys would become more recognisable in the UK than our Taoiseach or President. And very soon, they will be beamed into living rooms all across Europe, hoping for the douze points from the Finnish jury.
Mundy, meanwhile, is keeping on keeping on, playing three acoustic gigs next week in Ballincollig, Portlaoise and Clonakilty, while festival dates in Buncrana and Bunbeg in Co Donegal, and Carrick- on-Suir, Tipperary, are also on the horizon.
His new studio album Shuffle is primed for release in a fortnight and there's a free download already available of one of the tracks, 'It's A Wonderful Lie' -- a cover of a Paul Westerberg song -- from Mundy's website.
Consisting of 14 cover versions, the album is described as Mundy's love letter to his favourite North American songwriters. Given his success with Earle's homage to the cailini of Connemara, you can see why Mundy might have decided that a whole album of covers was in order.
To be fair, he has chosen his material well: some are canonical household names (Neil Young, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams); some of more cultish renown (the late Warren Zevon, Sparklehorse, Lucinda Williams).
Novelist Pat McCabe has penned the surreal stream-of-consciousness sleeve notes, playing Allen Ginsberg to Mundy's Dylan: he calls the album "a fireside-crackling magically serendipitous Rock-Ola jukebox of dreams and amberlit memories, which might be from yesterday or from no time at all, front porch-rockers from the now and the past but most of all the never-to-be . . ."
Fellow Midlander Gemma Hayes turns up to lend sweet harmony vocals on the Flying Burrito Brothers's 'Juanita' and to duet on their respectful cover of Zevon's 'Reconsider Me' from his killer 1988 album Sentimental Hygiene.
As for Mundy's reading of 'Drunken Angel', I'm too in love with the sound of Lucinda Williams's southern drawl to accept any substitutes, and I have the same prejudice regarding Simon & Garfunkel's 'Kathy's Song'.
Sometimes a song is so completely inhabited by a singer that it's hard to find way in to make it your own. Often the best way is to tear it down completely and refashion it from scratch. Mundy, you suspect, has too much reverence for these songs to favour such a scorched-earth policy.
But if this project brings artists such as the great Gillian Welch, John Prine, the late Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse and The Replacements's Paul Westerberg to wider public attention, then everyone's a winner, baby
All that's missing from Shuffle is a guest appearance from Lord Jedward of Lucan. Methinks it's time Mundy and the local boys in the photograph were reunited.
'Shuffle' is out on Camcor on May 13. For tour dates, see www.mundy.ie firstname.lastname@example.com

What Is Sport-Specific Training for Young Athletes?
Does your program train for [insert any sport here] specifically?
It's a common question from players and parents. The short answer is yes, but perhaps not for the reasons you may think. Sport-specific training is really just training. There are certain areas of focus that are important, such as power for power sports and endurance for endurance sports. For youth, the rationale is the same, however, the physical development of the youth athlete is critical to understanding and programming specifically for the individual. No matter the level of athlete, there is always an individual assessment that finds the "needs" of the athlete, not their "wants." What do athletes need to play their beloved sports this season and for the next twenty seasons? This is, perhaps, more important in youth athletes. That is the aim of the Totum Youth Training Academy.
"If a young athlete does not master fundamental movement skills at less intense levels, deficits displayed during the exercise will likely be amplified as training intensity is increased." — Myer et al. 2011.
There's no "fast-tracking" or skipping ahead in skill acquisition. We start from the foundational base and build the basics. It's no different than building a foundation for a house. The more you skimp, the greater the risk of problems down the road. That's why too much of any one sport for youth can create unique problems. The more variety in movement produces stronger foundations.
Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are the building blocks for more advanced, sport-specific movement patterns. FMSs include locomotive, manipulative and stabilizing skills that should be available for every athlete to utilize in a range of novel or dynamic situations, from tag on the playground to sports.
For example, we ask hockey players to crawl and soccer players to skip. Why? The components associated with these simple skills tell us a great deal of information. Skipping requires the ability to rapidly produce force in the correct direction using a single leg muscular stretch-shortening cycle. Crawling requires trunk stability and the coordination of upper and lower body mechanics, and indicates levels of mobility and stability of the hip, ankle and shoulder joints. We look for movement limitation, muscular imbalances and compensations that we can address, which can then reduce the risk of both acute and chronic injury.
Using the appropriate activities at the appropriate intensity creates a solid movement foundation which enables an athlete to exert optimum forces in any athletic scenario. In short, it makes them better at their sport(s) and reduces their risk of injury.
"A youngster's participation in sport should not start with competition, but rather evolve out of preparatory conditioning and instructional practice sessions that address individual deficits." — Myer et al, 2016.
When we break it down to its various components, it's not so basic after all! These FMSs tell a trained coach a great deal of information about an individual athlete and the best actions to take for optimal development. Going back to basics, then, is not regressing or making things "easier;" it's about assessing where an athlete's current abilities lie, what are their limitations, and how best to give the athlete a solid base of movement skills that will serve them for years to come.
So yes, there is sport specific training for youth athletes. Specific, that is, to each individual athlete.

MEXICO CITY | The Mexican LGBTI community has high expectations for the country's new president, leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
He won the community's sympathy as the first president to include a message of equality in his victory speech. López Obrador reaffirmed it in his first message to the Mexican people during his inauguration.
