Tasmanian waters hotter
By Robyn Williams on The Science Show
The east coast of Tasmania is a marine climate change hotspot. Water temperatures have increased by 2 degrees. There are effects from the east Australian current and the underlying ocean warming. Now animals in the water and foreshore are changing. The Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute is collecting data from the public including descriptions of new animals turning up, and those which are no longer present. Data can be lodged via the Redmap website listed below.
Gretta Pecl
Senior Research Fellow
Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute
University of Tasmania
Hobart Tasmania
Robyn Williams: Here's a way you can help marine scientists and Australia track the effects of climate change on creatures living near our shores. Dr Gretta Pecl is a senior research fellow at the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute.
Gretta Pecl: In terms of marine climate change, the east coast of Tasmania is a global hot spot. So on the east coast we get a double whammy, we get the increased penetration of the east Australian current, so that pushes further down the coast, and we also get the underlying warming that the rest of the ocean gets. So we get warming from two different avenues and it's basically a changing current system really and that's why we're getting so many changes in the biology of the animals that we find there.
Robyn Williams: How many degrees centigrade are we talking about?
Gretta Pecl: It's been a warming of around two degrees, two-point-something degrees in the last century. And it doesn't sound like much, a lot of people say, 'Two degrees? Cool, much warmer, I'd love to go swimming in warmer waters off Tassie.' But two degrees for an animal is a really big temperature difference. In terms of geography, two degrees is the difference between the east coast of Tassie and about the Victoria-NSW border, so if you think about what sort of marine environments you get off Victoria, it's very different to what we have on the east coast of Tassie. So two degrees doesn't sound like much but it actually makes a big difference for the animals that live there.
Robyn Williams: Okay, which animals and how are you surveying them using the public?
Gretta Pecl: All sorts of different animals. At the moment we're focusing mainly on fish and large animals, commercial fish species, but eventually we'll start looking at benthic animals or animals that live on the bottom of the ocean as well, on the intertidal habitats. How we're using the public to assist us with that information is a project called Redmap. Redmap is about getting information from commercial fishers, recreational fishers, scuba divers, boaters, anybody that's around the water and gets a bit of an idea for what's normal in an area and what isn't. So a lot of people go fishing at the same spot every Easter or every Christmas and they really get to know the kind of species that are normal there. So if they find something that is a little bit unusual or they're not sure what it is, they can take a photo, they can download it onto the Redmap website. We can send that photo off to a scientist, we check out what it is, let them know, and if it's something that is unusual then we log it onto the website.
Robyn Williams: What sort of a response have you been getting so far?
Gretta Pecl: We've had a fantastic response. So we've only been live for around three months and we've had over 6,000 hits on the website, not 6,000 sightings, which is probably a good thing because that would mean things are changing a bit too much. But a lot of interest in the website, we've had several hundred people sign up for our newsletter, probably because of the great prizes they can get if they do that, and we've had maybe 25 sightings with photos. So we're interested in sightings with or without photos, but if people send us a photo it means we can verify that information and it's a little bit more robust, we can do a little bit more with the information if we get photos. We put the photos on our photo gallery so people can see what sort of things are being caught and found. They can display maps on the website of where different species are being found and how many sightings. So it's quite an interactive website that people can come and have a look at.
Robyn Williams: Anything unusual so far?
Gretta Pecl: We've had quite a few unusual species. Some things that aren't necessarily to do with climate change as well. So a really beautiful looking fish called a ribbon fish that's usually found in much deeper water, and that was found in three or four metres of water inshore, so we got a great picture of that one. A lot of eastern rock lobsters, which aren't unusual in Tasmania but we think they are becoming much more prevalent. The lobster we have in Tassie is the southern rock lobster but we're also seeing the eastern rock lobster much more as our waters warm up. There has also been some other things, like we're getting more yellow-tailed kingfish, we've seen a few turtles. We're getting all sorts of things reported on the website.
Robyn Williams: How can you tell the difference between what is normal and what is being shown to you because an awful lot of people are suddenly looking?
Gretta Pecl: That's quite tricky to do and I guess it is a numbers game. So at the moment we don't really have a lot of monitoring programs in Tasmania. There are some good programs but they are quite small, and getting regular funding for those programs is very, very difficult. So what the first few years of Redmap will be about is essentially establishing a baseline. So we've indicated on the website about 25 species that we strongly suspect are starting to move into our waters, and we've had hits on almost all of those since we've had the website live. So people can log onto the website, have a look at what species we're interested in, but remembering that we are interested in any other species that they think is unusual as well. So they can log anything on the website.
Robyn Williams: Gretta, are you a fish person or a squid person or what?
Gretta Pecl: I'm turning into a bit of a fish-lobster person, but I'm actually a squid person. So I've spent 15 years studying squid and octopus. They're very fascinating animals, and as far as climate change goes they might be one of the groups that do a little bit better under warmer waters. So they grow faster, and their populations are very flexible because they grow so fast. They're kind of like weeds of the sea, they're very adaptable animals.
Robyn Williams: Hot spot on the east coast of Tassie. Any other hot spots around Australia on the coast?
Gretta Pecl: There's a hot spot off the most southern tip of Western Australia, that's warming a little bit faster than other areas of the world, and there's quite a few other inshore areas in the northern hemisphere that are warming quite fast, one of those are the waters off Alaska, and I'm actually going there in April to work on some climate change impacts on fisheries there as part of a Fulbright fellowship.
Robyn Williams: And should people want to take part in any of those parts of Australia or even taken an interest, how do they log in?
Gretta Pecl: They go to www.redmap.org.au. At the moment that deals only with Tasmania, but what we are doing (and this is basically a request from a lot of the other states around Australia) is we're starting to develop Redmap as a national project. So we're really interested in hearing from any community groups, researchers, resource managers, any groups that are interested in seeing Redmap up and running in their state, we'd like to have people involved right from the start so that it is very much tailor-made to what each state needs and very locally driven.

Breast Lecture Ever
Today is my lecture on lactation. I have two giant breast pillows to discuss anatomy. I have a breastfeeding bingo game I made to discuss benefits. I have a brand new $260 video from INjoy to highlight correct technique. I have posters, infant models, anatomical drawings of breasts in full color to introduce all my content. I think I'm ready. This lecture delights my soul because I usually make at least a few converts, but there are always the resisters. The trick is to deliver a message that touts the virtues of lactation without making those who did not choose it feel guilty. Why does this induce guilt and defensiveness??? I can't think of another topic that impacts folks with quite this intensity (on a day when we also discuss human sexuality, abortion, contraception, teen pregnancy...). My goal is to enthrall students with the wonders of mother's milk, and equip them with basic skills to support the newly breastfeeding mother. I'll let you know how it goes...

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do a marvelous job.
And I hear you... there are a few topics that just get people feeling badly, and I think it's because they DO recognize the benefits and, well, regret not using them!

Filed under: My POV, Uncategorized | Tags: actor, Adrienne Arsht Center, local, Marcell Black, Miami Made, My Friend Nina, Sipiwe Moyo
I very recently moved to South Florida, and I wanted to find opportunities here that would allow me to continue the acting career that I trained for at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts' Experimental Theatre Wing and continued to pursue in New York City. As a professional actor, I've worked off-Broadway and regionally. My search quickly led me to the Adrienne Arsht Center. I saw this eclectic, sophisticated, and multi-faceted arts center as a treasure and wanted to be a part of it. I now work in the box office as a Customer Service Representative.
Before I moved to South Florida, I had been in Birmingham, Alabama working as a project manager in a business consulting firm and then started my own Holistic Health Coaching Practice. When I saw the call for proposals for "Miami Made" [the Center's commissioning and performance initiative of new work by South Florida artists], I knew that it was time to put to paper a performance idea that I've had in mind for a while. "My Friend Nina" is a journey through the accounts of five different characters: Helen, Dee, Lottie, Buck, and Delia. They vary in their experiences– a lovesick 15 year-old girl, a hard-working African-American man, a Civil Rights Freedom Fighter, a young Casanova, and a demure French socialite. The tie that binds all these characters is the influence that Nina Simone's music has had on them finding their own voices and truths through her music and message.
The reading went off without a hitch, thanks to the support of my fantastic narrator, Marcell Black, and the excellent technical team. Being a newcomer to the area, it was my absolute pleasure to see every seat in the Peacock Foundation Studio filled. The Adrienne Arsht Center community of theater-goers proves to be just as supportive as the Center itself. Throughout the process, I was met with an enormous amount of support from the Adrienne Arsht Center team, especially [programming director] Hollie Altman, and am very excited to say that I now feel a part of the Miami Arts Community. As an emerging artist, there's nothing more heartening than a superlative arts institution saying, "We believe in your work and are excited to see what you will produce." This kind of support and encouragement is something that I continue to experience now as an employee in the Adrienne Arsht Center's Box Office.

Congratulations! This is much better than I could have ever imagined, and I had very high expectations. I am very happy for you and I hope to see more soon.
With love,
I was moved by the performance and particularly the song. I found myself singing with the actress as I felt her emotion come through as she sang. I found myself singing along. I have always found the messages in Nina's music to be heavy, but cleansing. It's as if she alone has taken our collective thoughts and given them voice. While watching the performance, I felt that the actress accuratley portrayed Nina's gift of speaking to and impacting varied groups of people. Bravo!
Its good to see another brother from Southern Africa doing his own thing in the Art arena, and doing it so eloquently. Godspeed.

Glenda Carr and Amy Hardy honored for outstanding service
April, 2, 2018
MERIDIAN– Two Idaho State University-Meridian faculty members—Glenda Carr and Amy Hardy—are among five university professors receiving Outstanding Service Awards for 2018.
The five will be honored at a reception April 10. One will receive the 2018 Distinguished Service Award at commencement May 5 in Pocatello.
"We are proud of the many public service activities that Idaho State University faculty perform for the University and the communities they live in on top of their other duties as teachers, researchers and creators of new knowledge," said Laura Woodworth-Ney, executive vice president and provost for academic affairs.
Public service has been an integral part of Carr's life since she was a child. As a Girl Scout growing up in Missoula, Montana, she volunteered for countless community projects. Today, she directs ISU-Meridian's Community Health Screening Program—six free screenings held annually to connect underserved adults to the medical, dental and mental health services they need.
"When I think about the screenings, I still get goose bumps," said Carr. "We started as a group trying to keep people out of hospital emergency rooms by providing early intervention. To see us come this far—as a united group in our community—is exhilarating."
Since the program's inception in 2010, the screenings have served more than 1,000 adults and provided ISU student clinicians with an interdisciplinary educational experience unsurpassed in the state. Community partners include Ada County, Central District Health, the Idaho Foodbank and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
Since 2007, Carr has co-advised the ISU chapter of the American Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student Pharmacists. Her duties involve guiding students in community outreach projects such as Operation Immunization, Operation Diabetes and Meth Awareness, In 2017, the APhA named her Outstanding Chapter Advisor of the year. Carr holds a pharmacy doctorate from University of Montana.
Amy Hardy, a clinical associate professor and program director in the Department of Communications Sciences and Disorders, is committed to improving the lives of others through her profession.
"I think in this day and age we often lose sight of serving others," she said. "In an age of social media, we often forget the value of interacting with people face-to-face."
Founder of ISU's Communication Preschool and Infant Feeding and Swallowing Clinic, Hardy treats children with communication and swallowing disorders—with many young clients and families referred to her by the Treasure Valley medical community. She also develops clinical treatment strategies for adults recovering from traumatic brain injuries and the complications of stroke.
Hardy, who has more than 20 years of experience in pediatric and adult communication disorders, serves as clinic coordinator and adviser to more than 58 online students in the graduate communication sciences and disorders program. She encourages students to use their education to help others, not merely as a means to a paycheck.
A past president of the Idaho Speech Language Hearing Association, she has authored numerous articles and presented research at national conferences on strategies for treating communication and swallowing disorders. Affiliated with ISU since 2010, she holds a master's degree in communication sciences and disorders from Northern Arizona University.

Pet Massage Therapy
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
In a rehabilitation setting, massage can be used for soothing and comforting a patient, calming the nervous system, improving muscle function by loosening restrictions, reducing the build-up of adhesions, softening and stretching connective tissues that may impinge the nerves, enhancing circulation, aiding in the elimination of biochemical toxins, and to create a mild inflammatory response that can jump-start healing. What are the benefits of massage therapy?
What conditions can massage help?
Massage can decrease musculoskeletal pain caused by tight muscles. It can help to loosen restrictions in connective tissue, improve range of motion in the limbs and improve a pet's mobility. Certain massage techniques can also be used to stimulate the neurologic system.
Will my dog enjoy a massage?
Most dogs will enjoy a therapeutic massage. It can be relaxing and soothing and can help alleviate pain. In some instances, the therapist will use deep tissue massage to alleviate trigger points or loosen restrictions. This can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable, but most dogs handle the treatment well and enjoy the rest of the massage session.
Are there any side effects of massage?
The most common side effect of massage is relaxation! However, depending on the technique used, there can sometimes be some mild discomfort for a day or two after treatment.

I ran across a blog today and I really liked it. It is http://www.adventuresofasupermom.com/blog. First let me tell you that yesterday was a tough day. Ella did not want to mind. Layla only wanted to be held or nurse. The dishes and laundry are piling up, I need to finally get out thank you notes (WAY over due!!!), I need to get out birth announcements, and I need to finish editing photos from a recent photo session. Then, when I finally got a moment when Ella and Layla were napping I thought ahead, and trust me that has not been happening lately. I got out my breast pump and thought I would go ahead and pump for another photo session I have this coming Saturday. Well, I noticed my pump wasn't working and then I saw that is because the valve has been removed and without it one side does not work! UHHH! Are you kidding me? I really thought I was going to explode. I was not a pleasant person to be around the rest of the day.
I woke up this morning, yes with swollen eyes from crying, and prayed that God would give me a better attitude and just help me get through today. Flash forward four or so hours to Ella taking off her poopy diaper and smearing it in the carpet in her room while Layla was screaming. Instead of loosing it, I prayed. I prayed for patience and to respond in a loving manner instead of a mean one.
So, on to the blog I found. It is geared towards Moms, Christian Moms who want to raise Godly children. I read this question...Are we performing with the goal of going beyond expectations? I thought that was great. At my old job I wanted to be the best. I strived to please my boss. Well, who is my boss now? God! Am I striving to please him to the best of my abilities? Yesterday I was not. Here is more from the blog "What better Boss could we ever hope for than our amazing and inspiring God? And, what better customers than our family could we ever serve?". Awesome! I think I just needed this today. I needed to be reminded that by being a stay at home Mom I am fulfilling God's calling for my life. I want my Children to see me as a Woman of God and I want to please God. My attitude yesterday was not pleasing, today I am trying!

"Some people enter a room and blend right in.
Not Shelley King. She sweeps in, carrying herself with the strength and assurance of a woman who knows how to step up and get it done, whether "it" is leading her band, running her own record label or co-producing her new album, Building A Fire.
If there's a little swagger to her strut, she's earned it. Since quitting a sales job to pursue music full time in 1998, the singer-songwriter has served as the first female Texas state musician, performed with Levon Helm, toured the United States, Europe and Japan and cut two albums with members of the Subdudes.
She's also the author of a song recorded by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra; they duetted on "Texas Blue Moon" after Hazlewood heard King's version on the radio while driving through the state. That might chalk up as a lucky break, but it's King's talent and tenacity that make such breaks happen.
We're talking, after all, about a woman who loves the Subdudes' music so much, she started pursuing opening slots on their tours so she could catch their shows. It makes perfect sense that King would be attracted to that New Orleans-born band; her own soul-filled, earthy Americana sound is rooted in southern gospel and blues, dampened by the Gulf-borne humidity of Louisiana, nourished by the river loam of Muscle Shoals, then cleansed by the hot springs of her native Arkansas, with a little Texas country bubbling underneath.

This is the first song that I keep up listen to Dimmu Borgir! The song cannot be described, the rhythm, the vocals and especially the catchy riffs after the vocals are the power of that song! I have nothing else to do one of their best easily believe me
I would skyrocket this song toward the top. So fury, much black. Sounds even better being in Norwegian.
The Contenders

By far one of their best songs, in my view it deserves to be at least at top ten list! Just listen to the melodic intro and make your choice! It has great solo and catchy vocals!
One of the greatest piano melody sequence I've heard in metal
Best song for me on this album and song from them by far.
This song both beautiful and atmospheric, despite (or perhaps bacause) being Symphonic Black Metal. One of my fav Dimmu Borgir songs, listen to it - BeeBlue
Those beautiful melodies could make a demon cry.
What a low rate
You damned woman~ you mischievous whore~ you heretic princess~ you are devil's own~ 😈
pure black metal. This should be in the list or at list in top 5 - joshsanz
But the live version in Godless Savage Garden album (1998)
Best song, in my remix too - majstro
Likely the most intense song ever written.
I did NOT expect a song by DB to be so similar to wintersun near the middle of the song!
Are you crazy? How isn't this song on the list?! This is one of my best, it has much power catchy riffs incredible vocals and spooky lyrics! There's no comment you must listen to it!
Absolutely LOVE this epic song! Sad not in top 10 :(
Gets better and better with every listen. Just brilliant.
EASILY top 3. Creative drumming, catchy riffs, brutally heavy. What more could you posdibly need?
It's so sad that Dimmu change their style so much. To me this song is their best and one of my all time black metal song.
I can't believe this song is so low. This song is classic dimmu borgir with the most amazing intro ever written.
This is their best song period... This song is just amazing!
Wow I guess people only listen their new stuff. This song is amazing and stormblast album is a classic!
Best song all time! Best album ever! M/

Top 5 right now, in no particular order:
Metal Heart
Spellbound (by the Devil)
Kings of Carnival Creation
The Chosen Legacy
Perfect Strangers (Deep Purple Cover) - schiiizo_punk
This is song is clearly underrated! it should be up in top 5 at least! amazing song! killer lyrics!
The best Dimmu Song EVER.
We have the best ambiance fluctuation in this one, great intensity too
Listened 10.000 times and never get bored!
How is this song not higher! Epic intensity and one of a kind!
This song is incredible. It really shows off their compositional prowess.
Mindblowing. The talent in this song is not of this world. - Matt3
Great song
Starting is great with hyper drums and guitarist has done a great work with great riffs - Raayy
This a joke? This song is a MASTERPIECE!
This song makes me cry dude
Still my favourite Dimmu Borgir song, before the keyboards became too bombastic and the band became self-important. The riffs are heavy, yet still 'black' and the transition between them and the beautiful keyboard is amazing. Lyrics are poetic, yet savage too
Its a killer song and must be in top 10
"Where I come from there's no higher authority than me, being my own god was all I was meant to be" Best lyrics ever
Best song for me... I love the voice of Shagrath
Best song I've ever heard in the genre, 10/10 perfect.
This song has some AWESOME changes, musically and vocally one of their best. Should be in top 5 in my humble opinion, and I know my Dimmu Borgir. Listen to it and then vote
This is freakinnn... hell song. Great - Raayy
These 2 songs, best ever
This song should be in the top 5. It is my personnal favorite. To me the best Dimmu Borgir song are:
1) Raabjørn Speiler Draugheimens Skodde
2) In death Embrace
3) Alt Lys Er Svunnet Hen
4) Morning palace
5) Moonchild Domain
6) Hunnerkongens
7) chaos whitout prophecy
Amazing Song! Must BE HIGHER than this! Vote
The intro is one of the best and most chilling one I've ever listened to. SPD is a dark but yet an amazing album.
Not the best, but must to be on top 10
Man! So Evil.
How is this not within the top ten and also it's the most overlooked track on EDT...tracks like Mourning Palace and Tormenting of Christian Souls are highly overrated and lauded to death.
Man I love this songs...and the vocals gives me Nightmares
The moment I ended up listening to this song, it instantaneously became one of my favorite Dimmu Birgit songs of all time.
Incredible song and the intro was the most Evillish I've ever heard..the only problem was the ending with girlinsh vocals overlapping the blast beat...else it would've been a 10/10 on my book.
New dimmu borgir sucks hail old dimmu borgir
This song is so epic from the amazing intro to the amazing outro
I don't even know how this isn't on the list... It's my favorite...
yeah - majstro
Can't believe this song hasn't even been mentioned yet. The chorus part is just unbelievably epic, and that's what I like best in a Dimmu Borgir Song.
I feel that this song is the "definition" of black metal! The music & growls sends shiver down my spine...

Fix these things
Things to do on the weekend like hikes, biking, or walking, not just club specific. More single girls! Spend some of the butt loads of money on a rock wall in the gym. Water to drink in the gym? Hasleton first has no lounge. The U.C. is crap, I dont want an enema everytime I sit on a couch. The snack bar employees are jerks. Since when have hamburger buns become a rare find. Im sick of hamburgers on white bread. The commons are pretty good. Where is the parking for underclassmen with jobs? The desks in BC feel like they are from the turn of the century and dont accomodate anyone over 5 feet tall. Also, I feel so bad for anyone living in Tolley Brown. Place for kids to socialize i.e. a n awesome U.C. If some of these thingswere changed maybe so many kids wouldnt be tempted to transfer or go home on the weekends.

The basic theme of the stocking stuffers? Foods that Make John's Life Less Boring. John is the first person to say that he is thankful for the food he eats at the DFAC; still, it can become monotonous to always eat at a cafeteria (and eat the same basic foods) day after day.
This looks like a great gift! You loaded him up! And how wonderful that R&R is coming up! I hope that he has safe travels on his way to you and that your reunion is soon. Merry Christmas!*
Thanks, Amy! Merry Christmas to you, too! :-)
Great idea! Thanks for sharing it, and so glad you had a good Christmas! :)
Thanks, Julie! I hope yours was amazing, too!
Aww I love this care package! It's so sweet. And, that's exactly what someone downrange would want. I'm excited he will be home on leave soon.
Thanks, Jane! Me too– it's been almost 7 months since we last saw each other. Much, much too long!

Whitehorse – The Fate Of The World Depends On This Kiss
On Melissa McClelland's song Picture Postcard, from 2004, she tells the story of a criminal running away to Mexico with a girl he meets along the way. It's a fantasy she has since grown into by joining forces with musical (and real-life) husband Luke Doucet on a twangy wild-west collaboration that is more an adventure than merely a record. Since flirting with the western tavern sounds on 2006's Passenger 24 and firing things up even more with Glenrio in 2009, Melissa has all the practice she needs to deliver her half of the spicy duo, coupled with Luke's crunchy guitar. The sound is a romanticized harmony from a pair who, when started, don't look back.
The Fate Of The World Depends On This Kiss starts off with a showdown between Luke and Melissa in Achilles' Desire, eyeing each other for the first time as they compare their reactions. Luke starts: "I don't have much but I got the good stuff/I keep it tucked away where you can find it/if you got the guts," followed by Melissa: "I don't know why but you make me sweat/when trouble comes calling I'm packing my bags for the west." Before the end of the song, they are so in sync that they sound incredibly natural together, turning two separate vocals into one lavish voice. A sound that continues on into the next track Devil's Got A Gun, where they are squaring off with the devil in a song about making a run for it, "I'm never going back/I'm running from the sun/bullets at my heels/devil's got a gun."
One of the more notable aspects of the record are the distinct hooks provided by Luke's guitar that seep out before the lyrical melodies make themselves known. In Peterbilt Coalmine, the simple guitar intro is further distributed throughout the song, semi-independent over the beat but almost irresistible. With Jane, it's more subtle as the pair sing over an electronic drum beat which carries the song through to the end.
The record predominately features both Luke and Melissa singing together but there are instances where one falls back while the other leads the song, Melissa on Cold July, Out Like A Lion and No Glamour In The Hammer and Luke on Radiator Blues and Annie Lu. In Mismatched Eyes (Boat Song), they trade back and forth in the style of a duet love song, finishing each other's sentences with lines like "Will I remember to remember that without you/I'm a shadow of a drifter & a barfly & whatever else you had to be."
The spotlight never falls on either one individually so while the album is Melissa and Luke, the sound is of one pair. Like some famous pairs of wild west outlaws, Belle and Sam Starr, or Bonnie and Clyde, Melissa and Luke work best when they're together. Achilles' Desire, Devil's Got A Gun and Wisconsin have them singing side-by-side, also sounding more fitting than most musical couples.
As a record likely made to supplement Whitehorse's live act, which they have brought across Canada several times, they once again prove they are on to something with this new collaborative project following last year's self-titled EP (reviewed here). Moving forward in a more clear direction with this record, Whitehorse and their followers will be in for a wild ride.

If you've got seasonal stuff crowding you (a Christmas tree, Halloween decorations, gardening stuff, camping gear, sports stuff) or a couple of bikes, arts and crafts supplies that you aren't using right now, or maybe you're combining households and have too many books for your apartment---this is probably the kind of space that would be perfect for you.

Huy, NARF Collaborate on Supreme Court Prison Sweatlodge Victory
Dec 7th, 2015
Late last month the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts unanimously ruled that state prison officials went against federal law when they closed a sweat lodge at one of the state's prisons. The court found that closing the sweat lodge was a substantial burden for Native American inmates trying to exercise their religion, and that this impingement on their right to worship was not justified by any compelling interest. On behalf of Huy, a nonprofit organization that support indigenous inmates, the Native American Rights Fund filed an amicus brief supporting the Native prisoners in this case, which can be read here. More information on NARF's advocacy supporting the religious rights of incarcerated Native Americans can be found in NARF's post from earlier this year.

Project Management Competency Assessment
The first step in a Project Management Competency Development initiative is to assess where the organization currently stands. In this offering, PM Power leverages PMI's Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®) and Project Management Competency Development Framework (PMCDF®) for assessing competency at organizational and individual levels respectively.
PM Power typically gathers data from the following sources for the assessment, tailored to the organization's context:
- Customer feedback (organizational level or individual level) specific to project management
- Assessments of individual PM performance in a project by his reporting manager
- Inputs from project team members on how the project was led by the project manager
- Self-assessment of the project manager based on what works for him and where he needs help
Analyzing the raw data and making inferences about an individual's development needs is a somewhat tricky process and that is where the vast experience of PM Power's consultants is brought in to play. Very often, project incidents may point to certain development needs at first look, but it is important to analyze root causes that may point to a completely different development need. For example, an apparent development need in project risk management may actually stem from poor communication or poor stake holder ownership, which are completely different development needs.
PM Power's assessment methodology brings incisive analysis and mapping to the fore so that developmental needs for individual PMs are precisely identified.
The individual development needs, once identified and agreed with the individual project manager and his reporting manager, form the basis for a custom competency development plan comprising developmental tasks (on-the-job & otherwise), focused training and coaching support.

About Us
In June 2012, when moving into our present location, we were wrestling with a tagline that helped us define what Kelowna Gymnastix was all about.
We wanted to communicate a message that we were different than many gymnastics clubs. Our focus was on our student's overall development – physical, emotional and social maturation. We wanted to build a positive engaging environment for kids/athletes to thrive. Additionally, we wanted to help all our students (kids and adults) see the lifelong benefit from gymnastics training.
A few months later we kept hearing from our customers, "oh I've heard that you're the place that makes gymnastics FUN!" Well, yes and much more! But the tagline stuck. As when kids perceive learning as fun what better place to be!
So we have the opportunity each day to do what we are passionate about. Helping kids grow and develop – but making it FUN!
Special Needs Gymnastics
We believe (and have seen time and time again) that ALL children benefit from gymnastics. We have a customized instruction program that meets children with therapeutic needs, addressing their social, emotional and physical challenges. Gymnastics movements and activities greatly support children with special needs improving not only their social and emotional behaviours, but simultaneously growing their physical strength, coordination and movement.
Our experience and expertise have seen that involvement in therapeutic instructional gymnastics has shown favourable results in the children taught (at various age groups) with a variety of special needs, such as the autistic spectrum for example. Our children under the autistic spectrum find improved behavioural self-regulations from attending our therapeutic gymnastics classes, and this has greatly facilitated the improvement of the child's overall capabilities, independence and confidence for more fulfilling life experiences. Gymnastics meets children with therapeutic needs, addressing their social, emotional and physical challenges.
About Bruce Elwood
Bruce has been coaching gymnastics for over 30 years. He started competing in high school and went on to Portland State University on a gymnastics scholarship. He has had the privilege of attending numerous camps and coaching clinics with some of the worlds greatest gymnastics technicians. Bruce went into coaching boy's gymnastics teams in Oregon and in 1990 started his own club with a friend, the Metro Gymnastics Center in Tualatin, OR. It quickly grew to 15 staff and over 800 students.
In 1996 Bruce moved with his wife and family to Kelowna and shortly thereafter became a Canadian citizen. He has continued to coach recreational classes in the Kelowna area preferring the recreational focus over the demands of a competitive program.
Our Team
The remaining members of our team are all dynamic individuals who have the ability to connect and engage participants in a safe, fun and respectful way. We believe skills can be learned but the natural ability to connect and engage is a gift that can not be taught.
The Kelowna Gymnastix team believes in "growing" the whole athlete. This includes not only gymnastics skills but self confidence and a sense of accomplishment, social skills, team building and the value of trust & support.

Have torn myself away from watching the Jubilee celebrations on the Beeb, to give you what is frankly going to be the quickest of posts tonight.
No big event by any stretch of the imagination, but dear little Lemon Drop had her own version of a successful outing this morning, when we clocked up 50 miles along the Delhi-Gurgaon highway. (Interestingly Himmat thinks in miles for the MG, so miles it is).
Setting miles rather than the usual kilometres on the GPS.
We zoomed along, through the Gurgaon toll gate and almost as far as the next gate where we did a U turn, zipped back, did another U turn, headed back, then another U turn, and then home.
It was hot, 'cos we left late than planned.
It was noisy because, well because India is noisy and in an open-top car there is no buffer.
But what we did get in return were loads of smiles and waves and thumbs up, and a few gawps from farmers, and giggles from a group of little girls begging.
I saw more smiles on the road this morning than I have seen in 29 years of knowing India, which says something about the draw of an old, classic car.
We passed buses and trucks and bikes and tempos and cars and tractors and it was all great fun.
One of the happiest drives I have ever done in India.
Progress. As of this morning, Lemon Drop now has a rear-view mirror.

There's a small percentage of professional thieves who have turned their "hand"… umm… expertise into lucrative consulting gigs. After all, who better to advise property owners about beefing up home security than the very people who counted on those weak spots to make a living?
We all think that if we take care of a few basics like keeping our homes locked when we go out and installing an alarm system, we're covered. But is it possible that we're just creating a false sense of home security, leaving our homes and families vulnerable? Let's take a look at some advice dished out by these well-known, erstwhile criminals and see how we measure up.
Don't be a Bigmouth
Don't tell the world what you're doing. Sure, you're excited about that dream holiday or justifiably proud of the gorgeous necklace your husband gave you for your birthday. But broadcasting it on social media can be like advertising in the Hometown Crooks Classifieds, compromising your home security.
The sharing done by you or your family via Facebook, Twitter, and other social media can have unpleasant side effects. What you share today can make you a target tomorrow and kids and teenagers especially, should be reminded that there's no privacy in social media. In fact it's all advertising.
As it is, we tend to tell all and sundry that we're going on a cruise, or skiing in Tahoe or to Vegas for that big convention. "Stop treating strangers like they're you're best friend," says a retired professional thief with nearly 30 years' experience.
He goes on to say that crooks have snitches everywhere; some of his best tip-offs came from house painters, bank tellers, manicurists, hairdressers and so on.
Where's the Mother Lode
If you've spent anytime doing the research about home security, you'll know that thieves target the master bedroom first. And, if the master bedroom is the room where most self-respecting burglars go first, what room is most likely to be passed over or ignored?
Thieves tend to sidestep kitchens and kids rooms but why? There are just too many places to hide things. Remember that most crooks try to be in and out of their target within three to eight minutes. With such a tight time-frame, there's no benefit in spending valuable moments searching through the contents of an average pantry.
There's a reason thieves head for the master suite, because that's where most people stash their guns, cash and other valuables. One ex-burglar said he keeps his safe in the kitchen because that's the one place thieves don't go.
So go ahead and hide your treasures inside the Cocoa Pops box and the granola jar or in the bin of Kitty Krunch. It's the last place burglars will look.
Your Garage and Math?
Does every house on your street have a garage? How about every house in your neighborhood? So how many garages would that be? Hundreds or maybe even thousands? OK and every garage has at least one door – or maybe two – and most of these doors operate with remote control openers. So how many different companies make remote control garage door openers?
When your development was built, how many different brands would the contractor – who built dozens of these houses – have bought? Most of these remote controls will allow you to change the default code to a custom code of your own but have you done so? Not too good for home security. Change your code as soon as you can after installation – or even right now.
Those savvy crooks that drive around with an arsenal of remote controls (all different brands) are counting on all those homeowners who forgot to set new codes – why not be different?
Rethink that Attack Dog
Forget that ferocious, 165 pound bundle of pure muscle with teeth like a tiger. What you really want is a highly-strung, noisy little dog with a penetrating bark. Few things get the neighbors attention like a barking dog. Professional criminals will avoid a house with that kind of hazard.
Little yappy dogs are a huge deterrent; they just don't stop barking and can be heard by their owners or the neighbors. Smaller dogs like Bichons, Chihuahuas and French Poodles send thieves scurrying off to the next house on their list and the side benefits are they're cheaper to feed and easier to look after.
The Power of Video Surveillance
The worst case scenario for a career crook is a starring role, on tape, inside your home. What better way to find himself playing an important part on the local evening news.
Video surveillance works because thieves can't find the cameras and don't have the time or the talent to deactivate them. Then there's always the possibility that the footage is being recorded off-site.
Advertising that your home has video surveillance installed will send most thieves running to the next target once again. Make sure that any alarm signs, stickers and placards you display state that there is video surveillance equipment installed on the property.
Have you got a home security alarm system installed? It's the best deterrent. But according to the professionals, the most common home security mistakes are not setting the alarm and forgetting to lock doors and windows.

If you're working on a Raspberry Pi project using a Mac, then you probably want to copy files between the Mac and the Pi. By setting up the netatalk software on your Pi, then opening a new terminal window on your Mac and using the open afp://hostname.local command to connect your Mac to your Pi, your Pi will then appear as a mounted volume on your Mac, almost like it's a USB drive. The Steps below describe how to set this up. Once netatalk is installed, then you'll just need to use open afp:// each time you want to connect your Mac to a powered-up and running Pi.
Turn on and log into your Raspberry Pi
- Launch the Terminal program on your Mac by pressing Command-Space to launch Spotlight, then type Terminal, and press the return key.
- Log into your Pi using the command below replacing hostname with your Pi's hostname, then press the return key.
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
- Enter your Pi's password, followed by the return key.
Install the nettalk software on your Raspberry Pi, which will allow your Pi to appear on your Mac as a folder available on your network.
- From the terminal prompt enter the command below, then press the return key:
sudo apt-get install netatalk
press [y] if asked if you can use disk space
Open a second window in the Terminal program. This time you'll be at your Mac's terminal prompt.
- From within Terminal program, select the "Shell" menu, then New Window > New Window with Profile – Basic (or type Command-N).
A new Terminal window will open.
- From this prompt, type the command to open a connection from your Mac to the Raspberry Pi by using the command:
open afp://<your pi's hostname>.local
for example, the Raspberry Pi that I used for the "Make It Talk" project had the hostname "talkpi", so I typed the command:
open afp://talkpi.local
This should present you with a dialog box stating "You are attempting to connect to the server "<your pi's hostname>.local".
- Click the "Connect" button co continue.
Only if this doesn't work, you can also try removing ".local" from the command above. You can also try including your Pi's IP address instead of "<your pi's hostname>.local". For info on finding your Raspberry Pi's address see Adafruit's tutorial.
- In the dialog box, enter "pi" as the username, and enter your Raspberry Pi's password in password, then select the "Connect" button.
- Open a Finder window on your Mac.
- On the left-hand side of the Finder window, you should be able to scroll down to the "Locations" section and see the name of your Raspberry Pi. Select your Raspberry Pi's name to connect to it.
That's it! Your Raspberry Pi is ready to act like a remote drive attached to your Mac. Use the Mac's Finder to copy, move, rename, delete, and launch files.

ah the noble search continues...undaunted by our failure on friday night where we came upon an appalling mockery of the Parma Tradition at the Mpama RSL (a venue rated inside these hallowed halls of Parma.Com as pretty good...let me update you my brethren...it was poo-house...all the way...bad chicken...bad chips...bad beer...bad like a Nicole Kidman movie...and that as we know is hurtful to the eye!)... anyway we digress...never distracted from the discipline that is our sole reason for being, we planed to enter Moama again and lead with our chins...not afraid of copping another poor quality slap in the guts, but hopeful that some modicum of dignity could be restored to this humble town with a proud tradition of Parma preparation. a quick drive down the main drag revealed 4 options...pub to the left...pub to the right...ho hum, more of the same skinny breasts that grace the catwalks of the malnourished fashion industry...NO ! we would not settle ....we would not capitulate and compromise and force 2000 Calories down our gullets with a "Oh that will have to do!"... NO !! we hunted my darlings, we stalked out each venue, we read the menus haphazardly pined to the menu boards, searching for some hint of word wizardry that would give us hope that Parma Prep was taken seriously in this ramshackle establishment... well, Searchers....we found it.."A full Chicken Breast tastily crumbed in our own crumb mix, topped with virginia ham and a tasty cheese." BINGO ! we're on the right path...the location THE BRIDGE HOTEL - High Street ECHUCA. Let me say up front that this is the best Country Parma that we have EVER happened upon. Let us begin: the meat of the breast was thick and juicy, much like the upper quadrants of the fullsome breasts of Teri Hatcher - yes they're real and they're spectacular! the ham, savoury....the topping: tomatoey, spicy, rich....the cheese: like the menu promised, tasty and grilled to golden perfection... the chunky cut fries were hot, crisp and fluffy in the middle and even though they were served underneath the Parma (as so many chefs seem conditioned to do - naughty naughty) they were allowed to breathe and therefore remained crisp as the collars of the shirts you wished your lazy wife would iron for you. as a combination of flavours - these four central pillars of Parma Perfection combined magically to create a juicy, hot and savoury Parma Explosion in our mouths, backed up by salty chips and salad... aaahh yea the salad - again...absolutely excellent - a slaw / salad...with a nice dressing of sweet mayo and poppy seeds...bloody bravo!! Now....HUSH YOURSELF...I have not forgotten...how could I forget the most important elemnet of the Parma Experience .... THE BEER. (Forgive the caps but I need to say this very loudly...) THIS IS THE BEST BEER I HAVE EVER HAD FROM A TAP IN MY LIFE. BAR NONE. FULL STOP. RULE OFF. Put down that acrid cloying glass of detergent you're drinking now and go to the Bridge for the cleanest, the sweetest, the bitterest, the most golden and refreshing beverage known to man!) when the beer arrived at the table, and we had one sip....KAPOW! we knew we were in for a good Parma. Because if you treat beer like that...the food will be treated equally well. Seriously however my darling Parma Acolytes, This is a NO BRAINER...the is the best Beer and Parma for MIles around... My trusty sidekick and I will be back every time we pass through! PARM-TASTIC!

Alabama is updating its 911 system to make you safer wherever you live.
Alabamians will soon be able to text messages and videos to emergency dispatchers. When you make a 911 call right now, your local dispatcher is relying on systems that have been used since the 1960s.
One man, Dennis Wright, lives in Marshall County, near the DeKalb County line. He says when emergency strikes, sometimes there's confusion on who should respond.
"Sometimes we dial 911, they'll dispatch you to DeKalb County, and then they have to transfer you back to the local place close to you, as far as fire departments, police departments, whatever," said Wright. "When you have an emergency, you have an emergency and you don't need to kill extra time."
New upgrades to the 911 system across the state promise to cut that response time down, by upgrading to an IP-based system and helping call centers across the state communicate faster.
Leah Missildine is the director of the Alabama 911 board. She says the upgrades will ensure calls are routed to the most precise center.
"Basically, we're doing a complete technological lift of what 911 can do, and what they can receive," she said.
Dispatchers can work from just about anywhere, in the event there's an emergency at the 911 center. Some of the biggest improvements the public will see over the next 18 months are the ability to send texts, pictures and videos to 911 with operators being able to text back and newer technology like personal health monitors, crash data in cars and home alarm systems that can send data to dispatch centers.
"It's all sorts of data into the 911 system, whereas in the past, it's just been void," Missildine said.
So far, no North Alabama districts have made the switch, but Missildine says there haven't been any issues for the 16 counties that have. She says soon more states will follow suit, with Alabama leading the way.
"In the coming 5 to 10 years, you'll see everybody moving in this direction," she said.
This massive overall could cost the department anywhere from $50 million to $60 million, but Alabamians have already paid the cost. The 911 department is funded with a less than $2 fee when people purchase phones or make phone payments.
