Job Stress and Depression: I Just Need to Get This Out…
Sometimes I feel like an alarm clock – necessary but loathed by the people you disturb.
That's what it is like to be a newspaper reporter. Writing a balanced and fair story means you tick-off everyone in it. Just asking questions and doing research for a story incenses some people. But everyone wants the media to do its job – report what, how and why something happened. Ferret out wrongdoing or refute gossip. And you expect us to do it quickly and for little pay. Do you know any rich journalists?
It ain't easy living on a perpetual deadline. We are very, very human but we are not allowed to make mistakes. When we do, even misspelling a name, we must correct and publicize it. Doesn't matter that it wasn't intentional or malicious – we fall on our swords and are labelled incompetent and biased. We are routinely threatened with lawsuits. And now, thanks to the gift of anonymity on the internet, nameless readers leave vicious remarks on our paper's online edition.
Showing the slightest bit of emotion or sorrow is considered a weakness. We are expected to know a lot about everything and learn it quickly. Our industry and especially the paper we work for is incessantly maligned. Over and over we are reminded that we are working for a dying industry. We work ridiculous hours and are not allowed to take gifts or put political bumper stickers on our cars. Oh, an we are expected to be creative and write. Remember how hard it was to write a term paper? Well, we crank those out – sometimes on a daily basis.
This is my life. Day after day. Year after year. Decade after decade. I love what I do. I chose this occupation. I would not want to do anything else. But sometimes the stress and the pace gets to me and that is not good for my mental health. Just now, before I have even taking my morning shower, I got an email from an angry reader, demanding a correction.
A lot of people think I have a really cool job. They see journalists on television and think what journalists do is so glamorous and exciting. It can be. But the bulk of journalists out there – and I am one of them – cover the mundane. We spend countless hours in mind-numbingly boring school board, county commission, city council and zoning board meetings. We cover parades, high school football games and car washes. We call the parents of kids killed in car accidents. We scour hundreds and hundreds of pages of depositions and often find nothing of interest.
I'm whining, I know. A lot of people have very stressful jobs. I am not unique. I am damn glad that in this economy and dying industry I even have a job. Sometimes, I just need to say – or write – my feelings. Just spit it out. It doesn't matter if anyone even reads it. I just need to get it out of me. I learned this exercise after my last major depression. They call it "journalling" and it really used to piss me off because the last thing I wanted to do on my time off is write. But I have to admit that it does work. It is good for me. It's like working out. You don't want to but afterward you feel much, much better.
Right now I just want to go back to bed. Pull the covers over my head and forget about the guy who wants a correction. I want to turn off my computer and cell phone and sleep. I am so tired. So very, very tired. I learned after my last depression that this, too, shall pass. When I am in a depression my brain convinces me that my life will always be this way – I will always be depressed. But this, too, shall pass.
So, I am off to the newsroom. I will deal with the guy who wants a correction and pray that today my editor will ask me to interview George Clooney instead of covering another boring meeting. A girl's got to dream, right?

Hour 240-264 | Internal vs. External Features
Welcome to the second week of the 2,000 Hour Series Challenge which is all about character development. The goal of this is to explore the character development process by which we go from simple character concepts such as a robot or a man or a girl to complex characters people can actually care about.
Take Wall-E, he's not just a robot, he's a lonely, curious robot who fears, thinks, and ultimately loves. Or Nemo, he's not just a fish, he's a young fish who craves independence from his father, but endangers himself in trying to achieve it. Or Merida, she's a young princess who wishes to pursue her own hopes and dreams rather than conform to her parents' expectations.
We can call these characters fully developed.
This means we've gotten to know them so well that we can imagine them in almost any situation. Creating a fully developed character isn't easy. You're basically creating a new life from scratch, but it's really special when you get there.
We can talk about characters in two ways. They have their external features, which is their design, their clothes, what they look like. Then much more interesting is the internal features. Are they insecure, are they brave, are they jealous?
One thing I do is I will pretend like I'm having a conversation and getting to know a friend and think okay, well what do they like to do? What are their beliefs, what do they enjoy? What do they not enjoy?
Sometimes I think I actually I work more externally first. If you know, what they're wearing, how they style their hair, and that kind stuff that can help inform you of what is internally going on.
One of my favorite characters I've worked with is Benjamin in The Fatherlander. You look on the outside and he actually kind of looks like a bum. He's got the old clothes on, he needs a bath. He's got the dirty hair. But inside he's totally a rich man and he wants for nothing. So you kind of have that great little contrast there with that character that makes him feel really rich and really real.
Characters have to come from authentic human emotions and experiences. And it doesn't necessarily have to mean make every character you. It could also be draw from people you know, things from real life. Listen to that little voice saying. "Oh, that's just like what my mom used to do." Or, "Oh that's just like this friend I had in high school." Or, "My little brother was like that when we were growing up." Because it's much easier to go from your family members or a friend when you're trying to search for a character.
The specificity that people bring that you can't make up on your own is something that I look forward to and I enjoy when I'm trying to pinpoint down a character. I was working on Literal. I was the story producer. Now I'm a little invested in Doug's journey from Literal because back then my father was jobless. He also had a full beard of white hair. But that's beside the point. When Doug gets to the Literal and starts working at WWBTV,
Doug actually has to face a new boss he helps to hire. At that point when I was writing that sequence my father was already jobless and he was pretty broken about it. And how my father lost his job was over a disagreement of faith with his new boss.
Seeing my dad after that actually helped me accurately craft the character of Doug when he struggles with Mr. Media Jr. at the TV station over what they believe.
Without my experience with my father I wouldn't 4have been able to actually tackle that moment in the show.
Understanding a character, both inside and out will help you figure out what the character really desires, which is what drives them through their journey. In this exercise you'll have a chance to think about the difference between internal and external character traits.
Remember, the more you know about your character, the more real that character will feel.
Exercise 6: Internal & External Features
Part A: Return to your three favorite stories and identify a main character in each.
Part B: Identify three of their external features.
Part C: Identify three of their internal features.
Part D: Identify three internal and external features of someone that you know.
Part E: Return to one of your character ideas from yesterday. Brainstorm some possible answers to the following questions (feel free to work alone or in a group).
External features:
Internal features:
You can submit your ideas in the Comments section below, or write them down in your story journal.

In 2011, Orange County native Kergan Edwards-Stout received much acclaim for his novel, Songs for the New Depression, published by Circumspect Press. This October, the award-winning author will unveil his latest work, a collection of holiday short stories called, Gifts Not Yet Given.
"It's about people experiencing challenging or pivotal life moments that lead to personal awakenings," said Kergan, a resident of Orange. "It's a book for everyone of all ages."
Pivotal moments in life are par for the course for Kergan, who along with his partner, Russ Noe, raise their two children, Mason, 13, and Marcus, 11, near Orange Park Acres. A regular contributor to the Huffington Post's "Gay Voices," Kergan was named a Father of the Year in 2011 by the Human Rights Campaign, a national organization that advocates on behalf of LGBT Americans.
Book Signing and Holiday Release Party on Friday, November 15 at 6 - 8 pm at Eikon Home, 142 South Glassell St, Old Towne Orange, CA 92866
With a background in the entertainment industry, Kergan worked in theater for many years in Los Angeles. In the 1980s, he directed a play that won the Kennedy Center's American College Theater Award. More recently, he worked for the WB Television Network, then branched off into marketing for other industries. Although he studied literature in college, he never anticipated a career in writing.
"I worked with some amazing playwrights in the theater," he recalls. "After my partner passed away in 1995, I started writing more and more and focused on my own creative efforts."
Highly regarded, Kergan's debut novel, Songs for the New Depression, received the 2012 Next Generation Indie Book Award in the LGBTQ category and was named one of the top books in 2012 by several gay literary groups. The upcoming collection of short stories came about organically, says Kergan.
"I've written short stories on and off as gifts, so some of the stories were sitting in the vault. Once I realized I wanted to do this collection, I started crafting other stories about all types of people — gay, straight, young, old, different ethnicities. The collection focuses on our common humanity. I'm very happy with how it turned out. It achieves the goal of being funny, sad and heartwarming at the same time."
Kergan says Orange provides the ideal location for honing his creativity and raising a family.
"Russ and I are not cookie-cutter people, so we never wanted to live in a tract home neighborhood," says Kergan. "Orange has a great mix of people, good schools and a balance of all the elements we need for our growing family."

South Africa Legalizes Private Marijuana Use
Posted by Marijuana Doctors on 10/04/2018 in International Resources
Updated on October 10, 2018. Medical content reviewed by Dr. Joseph Rosado, MD, M.B.A, Chief Medical Officer
On September 18, South Africa's Constitutional Court ruled the illegality of certain marijuana-related activities unconstitutional. Adults may now use or grow marijuana in private. This exciting development offers patients hope of greater access to care and legitimizes marijuana.
Why Did the Constitutional Court Make This Ruling?
South Africa not only legalized private marijuana, but they also established it as a constitutional right. Multiple parties took to the court to pursue a case against South African cannabis laws. They included three marijuana users who received punishment who argued that their prosecution intruded into their private lives. The initial hearing happened at Cape Town's High Court.
They ruled the marijuana-related aspects of three laws unconstitutional as a result:
- Drugs Act, Section 4 (b): Prohibited the use and possession of marijuana
- Drugs Act, Section 5 (b): Prohibited growing cannabis plants
- Medicines Act, Section 22A(9)(a)(i): Made using, growing or owning cannabis marijuana in private a criminal offense
To decide on a ruling, the High Court examined the right to privacy as outlined in the South African Constitution. The case's co-applicants contended that laws that banned private marijuana activities infringed on multiple Constitutional rights, including the right to equality. However, the High Court focused on the right to privacy only. It seems that investigating the right to privacy alone gave sufficient evidence to prove these laws' unconstitutional nature.
After making their ruling in March 2017, the High Court passed it on to the Constitutional Court. The High Court's original ruling stated that adults should have the right to use, buy or grow marijuana in a private dwelling. When the Constitutional Court reviewed the ruling, they went one step further — they unanimously ruled that adults should have these rights in privates spaces as a whole, not just dwellings. While the High Court mentioned marijuana sales in their ruling, the Constitutional Court refused to decriminalize them.
Temporary Suspension of Restrictions
Since the Constitutional Court just made this ruling, South Africa doesn't have any new rules that legalize private marijuana activities so far. However, adults may still use, possess and grow cannabis in private because the Court invalidated the previous regulations. They consider these unconstitutional laws invalid for the next 24 months. During those 24 months, Parliament will finalize the details of the new cannabis rules. Parliament will establish a possession limit for private use and create legal definitions.
What You Can and Can't Do Under the New Laws
South Africa legalized private marijuana activities, but only to a certain extent. Some actions are legal, while others are not. We don't know how much the official regulations will restrict what adults can and can't do with marijuana. So far, adults will have the right to use, grow and own marijuana in private. But, when you read a law, you need definitions of important terms, so you know how officials will enforce it.
We need explanations for the following terms:
- In Private: The Constitutional Court's ruling expands legal private use to anywhere in private. But, what do they consider "in private?" How far outside the home can someone use, own or grow marijuana?
- Use: Will the final regulations allow only specific methods of marijuana use? Can someone use cannabis in ways other than smoking?
- Marijuana: What counts as legal marijuana for private use? Can adults only grow and use certain strains? Do edibles and concentrates count as marijuana?
- Adult: At what age does someone become an adult for the purpose of private marijuana use?
We will find out what the law has in store within the next 24 months. In the meantime, take care when you use marijuana.
Implications for Medical Marijuana Patients in South Africa
In 2017, the Medicines Control Council issued guidelines for a potential medical cannabis program. Under regulations considered by Parliament, patients with epilepsy or chronic pain caused by select conditions would qualify. However, legalized private marijuana will still benefit patients across the country by:
- Helping Patients Who Don't Have an Approved Condition: Patients with spasticity and other conditions that respond to cannabis can medicate legally.
- Increasing Access for Patients in Remote or Conservative Areas: While doctors don't need a special certification to issue a medicinal cannabis prescription, not every physician will agree to write one. Patients without a cooperative doctor nearby don't have to worry about a prescription.
- Allowing Home Cultivation: Under the Medicines Control Council guidelines, only licensed professionals could grow cannabis. Patients can now raise their own plants.
These benefits have one caveat — getting marijuana. Since the Constitutional Court kept laws in place that ban sales, we don't know how adults can legally obtain cannabis. Hopefully, this will become clear in the finalized rules.
What Does This Update Mean for Marijuana in the United States and the World?
Once the final laws come into effect, South Africa will become the third nation in the world to legalize recreational marijuana. Many countries have decriminalization or medical marijuana, but only Uruguay and Canada allow recreational use. Uruguay became the first nation with recreational cannabis in 2013, and Canada followed five years later.
The Constitutional Court's ruling comes shortly after Canada legalized recreational marijuana. In June 2018, the Canadian Senate passed the Cannabis Act, just three months before the events in South Africa. Canada's developments could have a large amount of influence over decision making in the United States. However, we don't know if we can say the same about South Africa. While Canada is a significant world nation, South Africa has declining global power. Large countries like the United States ignored Uruguay's legalization, so we may see the same things happening with South Africa.
However, the Constitutional Court's ruling could still push us one step further, if only a tiny step. In the full judgment, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo cited decisions from states across the U.S. that legalized recreational marijuana. Perhaps citing Zondo's ruling will turn the tides in a future hearing for recreational legalization in America.

CONCURRENT SESSION 2: Public Transport Innovation
Imagine…… being able to book a public transport service, to pick you up from home, at a time that suits you, without the need for a timetable. Well Sydneysiders can throw away their timetables – because for them it has arrived.The NSW On Demand Transport program was launched in November 2016 to identify and pilot creative new ways for people to reach their destinations quickly, safely, easily, efficiently, at a time that suits them. In order to explore this, we reached out to the market in December 2016 through a Request for Expression of Innovation (RFEOI) process to come up with ideas. That process closed on 27 February 2017.
We knew if the market was going to be truly innovative, we had to prove to them that Transport was changing and was willing to take a risk – and we did. We developed a robust, outcome focussed procurement strategy that challenged conventional thinking. We cut bureaucracy without cutting integrity and enabled innovation.
The result was 66 proposals from 43 proponents, most of which were high quality. Following an evaluation process, 11 contracts were executed to deliver on demand transport with the first service commencing in October 2017. The pilots will help to generate public transport service models which can be implemented into future service contracts and provide a cost effective way to improve customer outcomes.
A combination of recent advances in technology, a gap in Queensland's Micro Transit Policy and requests to provide more flexible public transport solutions in areas not currently serviced by mass transit led TMR to investigate Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) through industry and community engagement and the delivery of twelve month service trials.
The trials commenced in September 2017 and monitoring and evaluation of the services will be undertaken in flight at quarterly intervals to inform the trial delivery but also the future of DRT in Queensland.
In a strategic context, TMR is using the DRT trials in Logan as a proof of concept to understand the Department's role in the provision of flexible public transport solutions across Queensland.
This paper will present lessons learnt from the trials to date across procurement, policy, planning and service provision. It will also present the latest performance data for the DRT service and explain how this data is being used to inform planning and assessment frameworks for the potential rollout of DRT across Queensland.
Several jurisdictions across Australia are in the process of re-evaluating their role in demand responsive or on-demand public transport services as part of a future mobility ecosystem. This paper provides an opportunity to provide learnings and share the Queensland experience to date. .
In 1908 Henry Ford released the Model T, and for the first time in history owning your own car became something most Americans could afford. More than 15 million model Ts would end up being sold and that trend hasn't slowed down. Once people could afford to own one or two or even three cars, each generation kept buying more than the one before it. Car ownership has radically impacted the liveability of our cities, from congestion, pollution, and underserved areas, to long commute times and increasing travel costs. However times are changing. Increasingly people expect mobility to be on-demand and affordable, and they increasingly prefer accessibility over ownership. Ridesharing services such as Uber play an important role in this mix. Be it looking at new modes of on-demand transport such as assisted bicycles, investing in shared rides products such as uberPool, building autonomous vehicle technology and opening up our airspace with uberAir.In this session I'll explore how we address the mobility challenges facing our cities today. How do we tackle entrenched car ownership? What can we learn from innovative on-demand mass transit models being trialled across the globe? How do we leverage new technology and existing infrastructure to improve safety, mobility and access to transportation for everyone?
CONCURRENT SESSION 6: Active Travel
There has been significant investment in cycling in London in recent years and with more planned there is a need to justify this investment with robust appraisal. This calls for better tools to estimate the impact of new cycling schemes and so a Cycling Network Model for London (Cynemon) has been developed to meet this need. Its development was based on TfL count and travel diary data sources combined with bespoke research using mobile phone apps.
VicRoads is planning for a cycling renaissance through the establishment of a metropolitan-wide network of high quality Strategic Cycling Corridors (SCCs). If developed in their entirety (and to the standard proposed), this network could radically transform the way Melbournians move around the city.To provide this network of cycling corridors in heavily constrained urban environments, however, requires tough decisions to be made. Through GTA's work in developing SCCs, and the directive from the recent Victorian Cycling Strategy (2017) to prioritise Strategic Cycling Corridors, this paper considers some of the challenges and 'checks the pulse' regarding progress in delivering this important network.
Cycling can deliver many benefits for individuals and communities, not least helping to provide enhanced mobility options, reducing car dependency and lowering harmful emissions. By giving riders some 'electric motor-powered assistance' as they pedal, eBikes have the potential to make cycling an attractive and convenient travel choice for more people.
An innovative approach to on-road cycling infrastructure which is less disruptive to local streets, potentially more cost effective to deliver, and more likely to gain the support of residents and municipalities, is currently being trialled by the Western Australian Department of Transport and local government partners. As part of the 'Safe Active Streets' program (DoT 2017), several Bike Boulevards are being implemented in the inner-to-middle suburbs of Perth, inspired by examples from Europe and North America, in particular by the Netherlands' fietsstraat or 'bicycle street.'A critical component of the Safe Active Streets Program is evaluating the before and after use.
CONCURRENT SESSION 10: Placemaking in Urban Design
Short term actions that lead to long term change. Doesn't that sound like a dream solution to the long running Travel Behaviour Change dilemma?What if we as planners and technicians could engage more collaboratively with the local community we are planning and designing for? What if we could help the community to develop their ideas and produce sustainable outcomes that made getting around by foot and on bicycle more attractive, more enjoyable and added to improved liveability and a great sense of place? What if all of this could be achieved in short timeframes, at minimal cost and gave communities the opportunity to reap long term benefits?That's where the Tactical Urbanism approach could provide so many benefits to Travel Behaviour Change.
Our approach to managing our transport system has evolved over the last twenty years. The current 'movement and place' approach reflects a growing recognition that we need to create and nurture an engaging and productive environment throughout our cities.Our transport systems need to work effectively. We invest a lot of effort in the experience of moving around our cities, but not so much in the experience of parking. While individually owned cars remain a part of our transport systems, car parking will remain a critical part of the transport task. We need to focus on the user experience related to car parking as much as the user experience related to other parts of the transport system.
Transport and land use authorities in Australia and New Zealand have been developing, or are looking to develop, road planning frameworks based on 'Movement and Place' principles (also known as "Link and Place").The purpose of this paper is to de-mystify: what "Movement and Place" is, where it came from', who is using it, and the basic principles of application. It will explore the concept of 'place' within the street environment and the type of customer based evidence we can collect. It will reflect on what has worked well in the past, what we are doing right now, and interventions we may make to shape the environment so that it will support how we will live, work and travel in the future.
CONCURRENT SESSION 14: TDM and Parking
In July 2016 I had the pleasure of attending the AITPM National Conference in Sydney. As usual, I was inspired by the forward-thinking presentations and best practice from around the world and I left the conference full of enthusiasm for how I could play my part in influencing positive travel behaviour change and sustainable development with my own clients and projects... And, also as usual, this enthusiasm ground to a shuddering halt within weeks as it met the reality of day to day pressures in the consulting world.As I sat in the AITPM annual conference in Melbourne one year later contemplating this recurring situation, I resolved to try a different approach to keep the passion and the positive intent alive for the whole year and report back on my success (or otherwise) to peers and colleagues. So I started a personal 'sustainability diary'. This diary is just a simple way of recording my day-to-day attempts to influence - in a positive way - clients, colleagues and other people that I meet in a professional capacity, in the areas of sustainable traffic and transport theory and practice. More important than just recording my attempts, the diary also records the outcome, so that I (and hopefully others) can zero in on what works and what doesn't.
This presentation will outline a brief history of the success of the Western Australian TravelSmart and Your Move integrated travel behaviour change programs for households, schools and workplaces, and how they relate to active transport infrastructure.
Using so-called behaviour change techniques to shape road safety messages is not new in Australia and elsewhere - particularly in the UK. Most applications have been based on theories of intentions and attitudes.However, the toolkit of behaviour change approaches is extensive and there is one specific approach (helping people to help themselves) which has had limited application in the road safety field. This discussion paper has been written to stimulate ideas about the way it could be used to enhance long term change to increase road safety – not necessaarily relying only on mass campaigns.
In response to the increased demand for on-road passenger transport, this study documents the techniques and technologies which are being used to improve the efficiency of on-road public transport (bus, tram and light rail). Some of these techniques and technologies are explicitly documented in the guidelines and design manuals used by the Australian and New Zealand road and transport authorities, and some have been applied in discrete projects but are not published or broadly available for others to replicate and use. Overall, it is expected that the increased sharing of knowledge on improvements to on-road public transport will lead to benefits for reliability and travel time benefits for public transport users, and in turn improved mobility and liveability.This paper is based upon a literature review of guidelines and policy from roads and transport authorities in Australia, New Zealand and internationally which are used by practitioners in the development of on-road public transport priority schemes. It also takes into account extensive interviewing with road and transport agency stakeholder who are practitioners involved in bus and LRT (Light Rail Transit) priority in Australia and New Zealand.
CONCURRENT SESSION 18: Planning and Principles
Transport for Victoria's (TfV) Strategic Approach to Network Planning involves providing a focus on users as part of integrated transport and place planning. This presentation will provide an overview of steps that TfV is taking to develop this approach, particularly in context of Movement and Place.
TfNSW embarked on a journey to develop and implement a Movement and Place framework several years ago, based on work started by Peter Jones in the UK and championed by Transport for London. Over the past four years the journey has lead to the development of guidelines, countless meetings workshops, project meetings culminating with TfNSW new strategic plan Future Transport 2056 , where the Movement and Place framework has centre stage. Where to from here? How can strategic planning embed itself into all aspects of the planning, development, operation and management of transport networks to deliver people centre – customer focussed outcomes. How do we shift the current traffic centred paradigm to a people centred place based approach? What are the challenges and opportunities faced in implementing this new approach?
CONCURRENT SESSION 22: Transit Planning and Stations
Mobility services are evolving rapidly and redefining how people travel around cities and regions. Mobility service providers – vendors of physical service and/or digital platforms – are growing in number and influence, and as they proliferate geographically, are having great impact on both conventional travel patterns and our physical environments.This paper reports on research conducted in 2017 in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), Canada to assess the value proposition of mobility services from the perspectives of consumers, service providers, public transport agencies and governments. The work involved a literature review and semi-structured interviews with 14 experts across industry.
As park'n'ride access to railway stations becomes increasingly constrained, cycling to stations, or bike'n'ride, represents an increasingly attractive and convenient alternative. While much research explores the determinants of cycling as an access and egress mode for rail, understanding of the determinants share bikes as a feeder mode is limited. Furthermore, little research has explored the difference in propensities for use of docked versus dockless share bikes. This research combines empirical literature exploring the determinants of docked and dockless bike share, with factors influencing bicycle propensity as a transit feeder mode. Multi-criteria indices arepiloted on Melbourne's middle to outer suburbs to identify locations that are most conducive to dockless share bike usage as a railway feeder mode, and to compare between the different cycle modes. Results suggest that opportunities for higher uptake of dockless share bikes as a railway access mode occur further from the CBD, compared to privately owned or docked share bikes. The indices provide a useful means of exploring the potential opportunities for dockless sharebikes, and to help inform railway station access policy.
When it comes to railway station planning around the world, every city seems to do it 'same same but different'. As designers of station infrastructure, the final product needs to consider the end user who will be ultimately using the station infrastructure. For a station, these are everyday people.
Drawing on an array of project experience of rail stations, alongside individual user experience of public transport and the urban realm around the world, this paper discusses:
the crux of station planning and the primary / key design items to consider when planning a station, including access to the station and interaction with the station domain
lessons learnt and what common design mistakes are made
how does pedestrian modelling influence the design and what are some common analysis techniques used for station planning
how is pedestrian modelling perceived within the industry
what are the future trends and influences

While the many were watching mad men on bicycles I had a little wander. Got to this just after Meth had finished it. Nice bit of Bob.Byne and Haste are really on it at the moment.Interesting collaboration between Casino and Desmond, definitely different.D7606 has added another little yellow piece to this extremely very busy doorway. Kosh-9s definitive canine.Was good to catch up with Burn and Kode of TCM as they finished this awesome wall, sadly Rackone had left before I got there.Love these cheeky chappies!This simply stunning piece featuring Gail, the dominatrix, from Sin City is another creation by Surge. Eug going large, I was amazed that the scary baby was still there by the time I got to it, but it is pretty firmly attached.A topical cracker by Rocket01 appeared a few days after the Tour de France had left.Not sure of the names for this one.Rateones' scary cyclops,lurking in the darkness.This is going to be awesome, can't wait to see it finished.

Sharrow Jam 2014
I don't know why it's taken me so long to put this post together,but it has. The jam at the ball courts, Sheffields biggest graff event on the calendar, was as always well attended with many of the great and the good from here and further afield turning up to paint. Byne and Haste were on it, in the same spot as last year, I believe.Iron Man being wonderfully recreated by Mace.Ryak, dressed appropriately for the weather,as were many others, because it was blooming hot!, working on their signature pieces.Si2, Hull Graffiti working his magic again, I'm so glad he likes coming to this city.Kosh painting a pooch.Trik9, having a little dancing interlude.
Only paid a flying visit to the jam on the day, due to having a very hot dog with me! Here's some finished masterpieces.Si2 Hull Graffiti.Meth, CoLor, Kode and Lone.Byne and Haste.MTH, Irek Onger and Suer.Surge.Sone.Haven't got a decent shot of this complete due to the goals being put back up, don't know the artists name either.Cantastic Art.This one was spoilt by the goal too.I don't know the names of these guys, sorry.Trik9, Prone and Xanone.Pawski and Shoe.Public Offender.Open and Link.Ryak and ?.Core.And finally…
Sadly, as much as this is an annual event, so too is the dogging of some of the pieces as soon as the jam is over, lucky there was some star who came and retouched them all…… warms the cockles of my heart! 🙂
Whistle Stop
Paid a brief visit to Peace in the Park, met up with a few friends who were having a very good time! CoLor Meth and Mila K found time to have a paint while they were there and I think the posing peoples were in a band,Spotted a few of these about, don't know who did them.Eug with one of his awesome characters.Stewy paid us a visit to drop this stencil featuring Jarvis Cocker, one of several different characters he's done in various locations on the route of the Tour de France.Lovely tribute piece to the late Patrick Moore by Rocket01.Kosh and…., I'm not guessing…I don't know who did this either, but I do think it's quite sweet.Venom, by Mace, superbly gruesome.Jiro?Angry Kitty (not it's real name) by Mila K.Rambo and Nofx doing what they do best.Pretty lady by Black.C3 pasteup being reclaimed by nature.Don't know who but much like.Love this too.I love my graff and I'm constantly amazed at the quality of work produced in this city, but I don't often go wow! anymore, I did when I first saw this. I do have a bit of a soft spot for anything Batman related, but this is truly special.
Sheffield Calling
Much as I enjoy a road trip, I'm always mindful that I'll be missing something going on in Sheffield. And I really hate missing out on things. Like this awesome collaboration between Such, Time, Pawski and the mighty Astek who made a trip up north and stopped for a paint while he was here.If you're from this city you will be very aware of the terrible hit and run accident that resulted in serious injuries to one young girl and the tragic death of Jazzy Chan. This beautiful tribute appeared within days of the incident. I honestly do not know how the driver who did this can live with themselves.Trik9 just keeps getting better, love these characters. The man himself has an exhibition on in September, can't wait to see it. Not seen one of these before, can anyone tell me what a Doriscy is? Cheeky little Greenz piece I spotted.The finished Rocket and Fauna piece Eye Catching, very!Trik9, again, because everyone loves TMNT right?Burn, Lone and Rack One, part of a larger collaboration that was pretty amazing, but sadly rather badly damaged by the time I got to it. Had to wait years, literally, to see this piece in the flesh, no idea who did it, but it was worth the wait.Cantastic Art, constantly trying new things, I really like this. Methosaurus, I can't get enough of the awesome characters Meth is coming out with lately.Osiris, bluetiful! 😉 Osim not osiris sorry.Not sure who did this, Suek maybe, but I have been wrong before…but not this time 🙂Asim and Erase? I probably shouldn't be guessing, but whoever it is I like it. Osim not asim… I'll get my coat….
I know I've got loads more to catch up on, better get my hiking boots on!
Derby Graff Jam : Court In The Act
Had a little trip over to Derby for the first 'Court in the Act' event. The above piece, by Tekonta Secta, greeted us on our arrival.Sheffield was well represented, Casino was in attendance.As were Xhastexo and Byne.Plenty of local talent was on display too. Deze, some names were shamelessly stolen from the Derby Graff page on Facebook 😉 https://www.facebook.com/graffitiderby?fref=tsLisk Bot with one of his wonderful creations.I think this was an old piece, loving the style.An eye-catching piece by Repz.Rise, this was one of favourite pieces on the day.CoLor Art was there too to take on the container challenge, I think he won.Last saw this writers work at Russells Youth Club, great to see him in action again.Rews another local lad I think.Nice piece by Peach, good to see her trying different things.Rate One knocked out this cracking piece, not bad at all for his first paint at a jam.Byne and Xhastexo were asked to paint a car by nearby resident. Local children were very concerned that they had permission to do this, and even though the artists assured them they did, they still felt the need to check with the car owner as well!Gutted that we had to leave before the paper came off.Apologies to Lisk Bot for being one of the many who asked where the robot was……he was hiding all the time! 😉
Really enjoyed this little jam, hope there will be another one soon, and well done to Jay for organising it!
Return To The Lego Factory
Had a lovely day out with two friends at one of my favourite urbex/graff spots.The first time I came here it was a cold grey November day and I was on crutches. This time the weather was glorious and I was running round like a spring chicken, well almost! It was great to see that much has changed since my last trip. I'll apologise in advance for not knowing who most of the artists are. P.S. I have since been informed that the piece above is by Harriet AKA Ruby – Thank you! 🙂I know who these are though an unexpected sight this piece from Sico and Nymph.Eject Ep, love this character. Kombo (?) very colourful whoeverit is. Interesting combination of the old and the new.UKS, I'm a big fan of their work, was chuffed to see this here.Really like this. Love the pigeon, I'm sure I've seen his brother in Leeds.Like the colours in this, although the yellow one looks a bit out of place.Found the remains of an old piece that was inaccessible to me when I was on crutches.Another eye-popper.Lurking in quiet spot, I found this gorgeous painted Painted Dog, by CoLor, I wonder how that got there…Unfortunately I did manage to upset some of the locals, Mr and Mrs Swallow couldn't wait for us to leave. Apparently, they thought we were a bad influence on the kids. I'm sure we'll be back at some point, hope they'll be pleased to see us then 😉
G'day! (Well 2 of them actually)
It's always great to meet people as passionate about my hobby/ obsession as I am, so imagine how happy I was that one like-minded individual, was not only making the trip over from Australia to the UK (and Europe), but made it as far as Sheffield too! And it was my privilege to show her the sights over the two days she was here. Lady P as some of you may know is a graffaholic and I think it's fair to say we have a lot in common. We tried to fit in as much as we could, but didn't make it to all the spots I'd hoped. It was strange to realise how much I no longer notice, just because it's there. It was good to see each place through another persons' eyes.
Despite having never been finished the Phlegm piece above is still amazing.
This Mega Production by Kode, Lone, Gzos and Mars was one I'd not seen up close, looks pretty special.Bumped into some of the new crop of artists in the city,was good to put names to pieces, the one above is by Desmond.Lady P caught in action photographing Peachz at work.The latest piece of loveliness from Eugene Booms.Lady P was able to see CoLor Art and Narke creating this fabulous piece, I think she took a few snaps too.I don't know anything about Anubis, but I really like what he does, this is my favourite so far.Spied a beautiful Coloquix lady.Lady P was quite taken with this wall by H2i.Solo, I hope I got it right this time! Really like it anyway.I've not heard of Purpz before, not sure whether he's local or not, cool piece though.Sico, seems to be all over the place at the moment. 🙂 Rather fond of these little critters by ABC.A horned lady by Casino, love the style of these.Really like this combination of paste up and paint by Dala.Making use of the architectural features, Meth. Another making use of the architecture, can somebody tell me who it is please? I now know it's Brisk 🙂Robo x Brisk, enjoying watching their styles and skills develop.Dyson consistently good.Paid a visit to the studio where Foundry works with his brother,and found this sexy lady on the wall.Lady P was keen to see as much as she could in her time with us, this piece by Rocket was the next to the last she saw on her trip.
It says a lot for Sheffield that someone like Lady P from so faraway, would be aware of what is going on here and want to come and see it for herself. I think we gave her a pretty grand tour, giving her a proper Yorkshire welcome and introducing her to a traditional English chippy and the questionable delights of dandelion and burdock!
It was a real pleasure to have her here I do hope she enjoyed it as much as I did…….Oh and by the way, she never said g'day once!

Borage Oil 1000 mg softgels
Highest GLA Concentration
Borage Oil is a nutritional oil rich in polyunsaturated fats. Linoleic Acid and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) are enhanced essential fatty acids. Although the body can manufacture GLA from dietary linoleic acid, it can be more efficiently utilized for body functions when supplied directly by dietary sources. Borage Oil is a more concentrated source of GLA than Evening Primrose Oil (EPO). One Borage Oil softgel is equivalent to about 5 standard EPO softgels in GLA content. Research has determined that Borage Oil does not contain harmful levels of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs).
Suggested Usage
As a dietary supplement, take 1 softgel 1 to 2 times daily, preferably with meals.
Other Ingredients:
Softgel Capsule (gelatin, glycerin, water).
Contains no: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

After having a background of railway and hospitality for almost 10 years I decided it was time for a change and to follow my passion for animals. I am an animal lover, although I do not have any pets of my own...yet.
They're all so unbelievably adorable that you're making it impossible for me to decide which four-legged friend I would love to have in my home! I joined Kingston Vets in March 2018 and I am part of the receptionist team mainly based at Park Street, although you may see me at other branches so please come and say hi and I look forward to seeing you all and your furry friends.

It's an age-old debate: Is character determined by DNA or upbringing? Nature versus nurture?
Most would argue that character evolves from both. What about companies and their cultures? Is a company's culture merely a composite of the executives and employees who work there or can a culture be nurtured?
If left to chance, a corporate culture will evolve naturally, but stronger, healthier cultures are nurtured along the way. That doesn't mean you can manufacture one. At its core, a culture is how a company gets things done. Executives can't invent an ideal culture that doesn't align with the way the company actually operates. However, you can help refine your company's culture and character. Start with the following three steps.

- For the first Protector, see Oliver Mayhew I.
Oliver Mayhew was a Grayson citizen and a member of the Mayhew Clan.
Mayhew was the father of Jared Mayhew and an uncle of Protector Benjamin IX. Unlike other members of the ruling family, he refused to send his sons off-world to be "contaminated".
Oliver was the Minister of Industry and the secret leader of the Brotherhood of Maccabeus, who was plotting for a forcefull reunification with Masada. When he died, he passed on his titles, including that of Maccabeus, to his son. (HH2)

Time to return to the chronicle of my career in broadcast journalism. I started 1999 as the Senior Executive Producer in FOX 4 in Kansas City. It was the beginning of my 12th year at a station I had worked at on three separate occasions. My mother had just passed away and her sister a few weeks after that. Life was unsettled.
To start the year my Uncle Bob who had undergone surgery for lung cancer the previous June would learn in January that he had a brain tumor. The surgery changed his life and that of his family in ways that I can't even describe. I have written about my uncle before and he was an important figure in my life. The crush of bad family news left me with many a sleepless night.
To quote Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." My personal life was a train wreck until I met the Czarina. I don't know why but I knew I needed her in my life. I saw an inner strength that I lacked. I gained a whole new family that I love dearly.
Getting married made me reassess my entire life. Work was a mess. I was up for a promotion that I didn't get. The whole deal was a cluster fuck and while I'm not saying I got screwed but if I didn't then Sindy Gaona did. I ran a tight crew at night. We were really good at seeing the tree in the forest and turning great stories. Our new assistant news director didn't hesitate to exploit our abilities to his own benefit and that pissed me off in no uncertain terms.
I had a choice to make. I could go running to my news director and whine like a little bitch or try one final time to travel the news director path. I chose the later. Looking back I wish I had stuck it out. I was being self-centered. I overlooked the needs of my new family and in particular the needs of my new 16-year-old stepson. Andrei had been whipsawed from Latvia to a new high school in Kansas City. Then he was uprooted to a second high school for his sophomore year. Another move would mean three high schools in three years.
Work wise I was at the top of my game. The right opportunity came along. Our new GM had forced me to quit working on my graduate degree so I felt backed into a corner. I could either quit and finish my masters or take a news directors position in Fargo, North Dakota.
So in the space of 12 months I met a girl, married her dragged her to North Dakota. It kind of makes me go what the fuck? I miss WDAF everyday. I miss Mike Lewis, Fritz Kramer, Scott DeJong, Sindy Gaona, J.W. Edwards, Randy Davis, John Holt, Phil Witt, Al Wallace, Jana Calkins, Tom SiFuentes and so many engineers and talented people that there is not enough space to tell them what they mean to me to this very day. But in the end I needed to experience Fargo. And those three years in the great white north mean more to me than any that I've worked in this god forsaken business. But that's a whole nother blog.

Gabriel Orozco
Tate Modern 19 January – 25 April 2011
Creative, playful and inventive, Gabriel Orozco creates art in the streets, his apartment or wherever he is inspired. Born in Mexico but working across the globe, Orozco is renowned for his endless experimentation with found objects, which he subtly alters.
His sculptures, often made of everyday things that have interested him, reveal new ways of looking at something familiar. A skull with a geometric pattern carefully drawn onto it, a classic Citroën DS car which the artist sliced into thirds, removing the central part to exaggerate its streamlined design, and a scroll filled with numbers cut out of a phone book are just some of his unique sculptures.
Orozco's photos are also on display, capturing the beauty of fleeting moments: water collecting in a punctured football, tins of cat food arranged on top of watermelons in a supermarket, or condensed breath disappearing from the surface of a piano show Orozco's eye for simple but surprising and powerful images.
His art also shows his fascination with game-playing, for example a billiard table with no pockets and a pendulum-like hanging ball, or Knights Running Endlessly, an extended chess board filled with an army of horses, both of which are well-known games to which he has added an element of futility. This kind of unexpected twist makes Orozco's work interesting to both contemporary art lovers and also anyone who wants an unusual and captivating art experience.

It was really interesting, his unique perspective inspired me with his art works.
One of my favourites was the photographic series 'Until you find another yellow schwalbe 1995'. During a residency in Berline, he bought a yellow schwalbe - a motorscooter. Then he was looking for matching scooters in the city, he took the photos of the pair wherever they 'met'. It's a funny idea!!! I like the point which he has been trying to create art with his daily life.
Well, let's do it something within everyday life! :)

Board: "Bite the bullet"
Ossipee select board supports new nursing home
by Larissa Mulkern
Editor of The Carroll County Independent
write the author
July 17, 2009
OSSIPEE — With a member of the Carroll County Legislative Delegation in attendance at Monday's meeting, the select board expressed unanimous support to build a new Mountain View Nursing Home. The delegation votes Monday, July 20, on expending $300,000 for site work for the new building.
County Commissioners are invited to attend the Ossipee Board of Selectmen meeting next Monday night to further discuss the proposal. Delegation member Susan Wiley (D-Center Sandwich) attended this past meeting, however, and answered some questions from the board.
While the vote was not official, Selectman Harry Merrow, a former state representative, expressed support for the plan.
"I would just like to say, unequivocally, I am in favor of building that nursing home," said Merrow.
"And I'll second that," said Select Board Chair Kathleen Maloney.
"When I was on the delegation there, we spent hours going over the same things they seem to want to rehash now and I don't think there's any need for it," said Merrow. "And if you do it later, it's going to cost more. Let's bite the bullet and do it. Besides, I'm getting older and I might be down there," he said.
Selectman Morton Leavitt said "we'd be insane not to build a new nursing home," but that just by looking at the design, he said it looked more like a "retirement center" than a home, with many roof lines. "I'm wondering if a design could have been done for substantially a lot less money," he asked. "A nursing home isn't a 'retirement center.'"
Maloney said nursing home and their designs have changed from a place where the elderly go "to die," to a place that includes rehabilitation services, so some residents are rehabilitated to the "highest level of functioning and some of those people do walk out."
Merrow added that the design phase was likely far enough along that any major changes would incur redesign costs. "If we start this thing all over again, it's a mess," he said.
Wiley added that the lack of windows for all residents have presented a marketing problem for the old home, whereby the newer incoming residents prefer windows.
From the audience, Wiley said the design was such to provide a window for each resident in the home. Currently, if there are two residents to a room the one with seniority gets the window, and often they are too incapacitated to enjoy the benefits of a windowed room.
"They've had a lot of hearings about the building and the architecture, and those questions have been asked very many times. The reason there are so many lines, it's an attempt to make certain that every room that has a patient in it has a window. And that's why the design is the way it is. That's been one of the big marketing problems at the Mountain View Nursing Home is that you are in half of a room, and if you have some seniority you get a window, but obviously half of the people there have no window. It turns out that some of the most sick people have the window because they've been there the longest which is hard for a new person coming in, who is not so debilitated, who would really want to have a window," explained Wiley.
Commissioners have held public forums on the new home proposal in towns including Wolfeboro, Conway, Wakefield and Moultonborough.
Wiley said another feature is that the home will have a rehabilitation facility so they will offer physical and occupational therapy, and will provide services to the community.
"The whole concept is quite different that what we have now, but there will be storage space, which means they will be able to keep 103 people instead of needing to use the hallways and patient rooms for storage, which keeps the census down between 93 and 97 instead of 103 people," she added.
The home currently employs 74 Ossipee residents, and houses 18 elderly residents from the town.
Wiley asked if it was fair to say the three Ossipee selectmen support the new home proposal, and they responded that it was. Merrow offered to provide a letter of support.
Other business
Resident Kevin Houle questioned why the town was auctioning off 15 tax acquired properties in this current real estate market. "Why are we having an auction when real estate has rock bottom prices?" Merrow replied that the properties have minimum bids, and that the purpose was to get the properties in question back on the tax roles. Houle said some of the lots were landlocked. "The timing is all wrong," he added. Leavitt agreed with Merrow, adding "it's our obligation to get these properties paying taxes."
Selectman also discussed whether the town's building inspector David Senecal needs a fill in person when he goes on vacation. Maloney said there was a person that required an inspection for an occupancy permit when Senecal was out recently. The board agreed to talk to him about how often this occurs and whether he needs a backup.
Maloney also asked Public Works Director Brad Harriman to get samples of the various plastics to display at the recycling center since many people are still co-mingling the different types.
The Ossipee Board of Selectmen meets every Monday at 4:15 p.m. at town hall.

When The Coffins of Little Hope by Timothy Schaffert was selected for our October PQ meeting, I think we all expected a spooky Halloween tale. Instead we were surprised by a tale that spans decades of an obituary writer for a small town newspaper. An engrossing story that shows we never leave the past behind, it always comes with us to resolution.
And we were fortunate to have the author do a video chat and share how the story took on a life of its own as he took this idea of small town newspaper which also quietly prints bestseller to make ends meet.
And we were also treated to "coffins" labeled Miserre and Desirree by Queen Tracey and specialty cupcakes! Thank you Queen Tracey.
Timothy Schaffert on the TV screen with the small inset of the SWLA PQ's in the corner? Video Chats with the author add so much to our discussion. Many thanks to Timothy and all the authors who have shared with us!
