One Day at a Time
by Elizabeth Hexberg
11/18/2009 / Poetry
One day at a time Lord.
Help me to live.
Even abased, still willing to give.
All that I have,
and all that I am.
One day at a time Lord.
All that I can.
One day at a time Lord.
Help me to sing.
Songs full of Hope,
Rejoicing in Him.
Drinking the sunshine,
Hearing Your Call.
One day at a time Lord.
All upon All.
and when I am weary,
when I am lost.
bring me to tears,
at the Foot of The Cross.
Help me remember,
the Price that was paid.
One day at a time Lord,
that we may be Saved.
Fill me to Pour me,
Pour me to Fill.
One day at a time,
Ever living Your Will.
I love The Lord,with all my heart, and am nothing,and have nothing, without Him.

Taking Care of Horses : Cleaning Horse's Ears
Aw man, heater stopped working again. I think it's faulty, gotta take it back. Ya, it's solid, the horses aren't drinking
that water. Thick ice. Well, always try to remove as much ice as
you can. So, part of daily grooming or weekly depending
on how often you get to it, sort of checking over the body while you're brushing and stuff. Another thing that we can do, come here…
is check the ears and we always want to make sure, one that they're pretty good with touching
their ears, you know, he's not going to shy away, I'll pet him and then let him go a little
bit but I'm going to come back to that in a second because what I want to show you really
quickly that when it comes to cleaning the ears out, something to think about when you
do so, come here.. because the inside of the ears can get kind of dusty and dirty, lot
of wax and stuff in there that can keep the bugs out and all that hair which is why you
want to keep as much of this as you can and making sure that things can't get in, whether
it's bugs or dirt or dust or water, all these natural inhibitors like the hair and wax and
even some of the dirt in there stops that. So, I'm just going to borrow him back again
and taking a look at his ear, it looks like it's pretty good but I'm just going to give
it a quick sort of scrub but when I do that, and a lot of horses actually really like this
because you sort of scratch their ear and they'll get into it a little bit. He's thinking about eating but we're just
going to come back over. Now I'm bending him over this way so it might
be a little bit uncomfortable for him, but when I go to scratch his ear, I want to make
sure that I, come around this way, I want to make sure that his ear is down so that
when I do this, the dirt doesn't fall into the ear and instead sort of falls down into
the palm of my hand or onto the ground. So I'll give that another go, so I'll just
push his ear down and little bits and pieces will kind of come off on your fingernails,
here might be a bit better, I'll let him eat while I do it, and one of the things to think
about with the ears is some horses that don't really like it or kind of feeling a little
bit uncomfortable, he's doing ok, but to always end on a good note. So if you just have to do a tiny bit and then
walk away and then come back a tiny bit and go away, a little bit more, go away, nice
he's kind of waiting and thinking, maybe could you just do a little bit, and we're always
bringing the ear downwards so that the dirt and whatever else is in there can slope out
and down and onto the ground or into your hand. I'll give it another go, he sort of shies
away, just pet him, come and try again, leave it on a turn that he isn't trying to get away
from my hand so that I kind of let him know that I'm not going to pick on you until you
hate it, I'm going to let you go just before you hate it (laughs). There, so I would do both his ears but that's
just a demonstration of one ear. I'll pet him, tell him he's a really good
boy and that would be about it. Thanks for watching!

INDIA TO LOAN NIGERIA $100m FOR BROADBAND
The Federal Government has said it is working with the Indian Government to access $100 million concessional loan to develop Nigeria's rural broadband connectivity.
The Minister of Communications, Mr Adebayo Shittu, unveiled this at the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Day held in Abuja on Thursday night.
Shittu said that the loan to be accessed would be part of India's 10 billion-dollar concessional loans to African countries for the implementation of projects of their national priority.
The minister said that the rural broadband connectivity in India "inspired" his application for the 100 million dollar-loan for the project.
"Nigeria must be prepared take advantage of the available opportunities, one of which is in the securing of credit line for the development of rural backbone infrastructure.
"In India, as expansive as the country is, every area has sufficient broadband connectivity; everybody has access to online connectivity.
"This is the opposite in Nigeria. We have barely exceeded the 30 per cent connectivity rate.
"However, with this initiative, I believe within the next two months, we will have the opportunity of getting a credit line of $100m from India to develop rural infrastructure, such that without electricity, telecoms masts can function, as masts to be constructed via the credit line funding will be renewable based – that is solar-based."
He explained that Indian companies would be the installers of the equipment "because it is their technology that we will use the credit line to acquire".
Shittu, however, said the timeline for the implementation of the project was yet to be determined.
He further added that the return of the loan would be "ironed out" by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Budget and National Planning.
In his response, the Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Abhay Thakur told newsmen that the high commission had received a written project report from Nigeria and would examine it.
"We (Nigeria and India) are working very closely on the rural broadband network project.
"India is deeply interested because we genuinely have a lot of expertise in the area of broadband network building, and reach to (the Indian) masses.
"We will examine the written report, and I am sure very soon, we will be in a position to tender out the project under the India Development Assistance, which is a very attractive soft loan funding for Nigeria."
Thakur also said the pilot phase of the project, if considered, would start in Oyo and would be further carried out in the other 36 states.
He further expressed optimism that the project would lead to other spin-off projects in the areas of IT trainings and e-governance to rural populations.
"This is something India has achieved, and hope to cooperate on with Nigeria with the support of the Nigerian government."
Speaking on the ITEC Day, the high commissioner said that 315 training slots in the ITEC short-term programme had been made available for Nigeria in 2019.
He explained that this included 100 training slots under the India Africa Forum Summit and 20 scholarships for undergraduate, post-graduate and higher courses.

It's the dog days of summer and — while we'd love to be able to relax a bit and go rollin' on the river with our pups — the news doesn't seem to slow down the way it used to.
Even with Congress and the president away, local news along K Street, M Street and Wisconsin Avenue is buzzing. Businesses are coming and going. There is construction everywhere and new plans for more (see our story about the Jelleff Center). A population boom is bringing families to Georgetown, along with new enterprises to meet their needs.
Keeping you informed is just half the job of a local newspaper. The other half is reporting your reactions to and engagement with the issues of the day. Our only tool is old-fashioned"gumshoe" journalism based on first-source reporting, something that requires reporters and editors who have deep knowledge of and connections in the community.
It's an exhilarating but also a scary time for community newspapers. While bizarre attacks on the media from the highest level (you know who we mean) to the lowest (the recent murders at the Capital Gazette) are core-shaking, good local journalism faces a far more existential threat: a scarcity of operational funds.
The cost of everything — especially paper, ink and distribution — is increasing. Full-time salaries with benefits, and offices with even basic equipment, are luxuries that almost no local newspaper can afford, certainly not in Georgetown. Even the venerable Daily News of New York City cut its staff in half just last month. Digital newsletters and social media blasts can only partially replace the traditional daily and weekly paper editions.
Maybe it's time to look at government support for struggling but vital local newspapers, including the so-called "for profit" outlets. Other industries have gotten (and are getting) bailouts.
"Given the dire situation for local journalism, government funding has become an increasingly reasonable solution," Kelly McBride, a senior vice president at Poynter, a nonprofit focused on journalism education and democracy, told the New York
Times. "There is deep, deep need across much of the country for local newspapers. If you don't see media writing about your life that you can trust, it's very hard to trust any media."
The New Jersey legislature has just approved a $5-million fund to pay for community journalism. Grants will be handed out by a board of directors. It's one idea to watch. Finding support for local newspaper outlets is not just about saving journalism. It's about saving democracy.

Hey Cindy - Kiss My Grits!
No more politically correct speech here. This woman is nothing more than an attention seeking anti-American mental case. To all those that voted Democrat yesterday, you offered this woman vindication for her "hate America first" tirades. BTW - she started out as nothing more than a paid shill for the Kerry campaign. So much for her noble cause...
And then we have Darrill Holly from the AP writing another bullshit Sheehan story. I emailed the following to Mr. Holly to set the record straight...
The Berkeley, Calif., woman, whose son was killed in Iraq more than two years ago.
Cindy Sheehan is not from Berkeley. She started out in Vacaville but now lives in a tree house in Crawford TX where she claims she buried her uterus after her hysterectomy.
deliver anti-war petitions she said were signed by 80,000 Americans.
WOW – 80,000 Americans signed her petition. What is that – about 1/1000th of the US population?
The petitions opposed use of military force to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program.
Not exactly anti-war petitions, huh? Simply "We Support Iran Over America" petitions.
Sheehan, 49, and other grieving families met with Bush about two months after her son died, before reports of faulty prewar intelligence surfaced and caused her to speak out. She has tried repeatedly to speak with the president again, including a 26-day vigil last year outside Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
And when she met with President Bush, she said he was kind and felt that he truly cared. At least that was how she recalled her meeting with the President before she became a paid shill for the Kerry campaign. It's right there in the Vacaville paper if you want to read the truth instead of copying from press releases. And that "vigil" at Crawford – Cindy spent her time in an air conditioned trailer with people answering her email, coordinating her media appearances and giving her massages. In between she ate catered gourmet meals. Not exactly "roughing it".
Wednesday's protest came as Republicans lost control of the House and the White House announced the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "He's being offered as a sacrificial lamb," Sheehan said.
Actually, Cindy said "no shit" and "Rumbo's gone". It's right here in a video taken today before her staged arrest in front of the White House.
The DNC may control Congress and the AP but they cannot silence those of us that know the truth. Maybe now you guys can start reporting the truth since your mission was accomplished.

The Ability to Export Domestic Crude Oil and the Effect on Shipping
By Dave Cooley, GHPB
Exporting U.S. crude oil will effect world shipping arrangements and trade routes. This ability may not necessarily create a need for additional ships, but will result in a realignment of shipping patterns. For example, a tanker discharging crude oil at a major U.S. oil port along the Gulf or West Coasts can now have the opportunity to load crude oil for export as opposed to leaving the port in ballast. This offers tanker owners a unique cost saving ability and improves efficiency in the tanker market.
After the Arab-Israeli War (October 6-25, 1973), the OPEC countries imposed an embargo on nations supporting Israel, including the United States. OPEC banned petroleum exports to embargoed nations and cut oil production. The immediate effect created a disruption of supply and ultimately resulted in a "fear" shortage within the United States. To ensure domestic oil supplies were available to U.S. consumers, Congress passed the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act, which directed the President to ban crude oil exports except in select circumstances. This restriction regarding the export of domestic crude oil was recently repealed by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 signed on December 18, 2015 and U.S. produced crude oil is now traded freely in the worldwide oil market.
U.S. Oil Production
U.S. oil production reached a peak of 10,044,000 barrels daily during November 1970, which has yet to be equaled. A second peak of 9,173,000 barrels daily occurred during February 1986 as oil production from Alaska was fully online. Finally, a third peak of 9,694,000 barrels a day occurred during April 2015 as a result of oil shale development predominantly in Texas (Eagle Ford), North Dakota (Bakken), and Colorado/Wyoming (Niobrara). See Figure 1
Domestic crude oil production's nadir occurred from mid-2005 through the end of 2008 at around 5 million barrels daily. During the early years of the previous decade, hydraulic fracturing oil shale formations were sufficiently successful to the point that shale oil production began to overtake conventional oil production. As a result, U.S. oil production rose from a low point of about 5 million barrels per day during the 2005 through 2008 period to about 9,694,000 barrels daily in April 2015. This phenomenal increase in U.S. oil production created a surplus to the high quality-low sulphur oil supply needs of the country and was a significant factor contributing to a worldwide crude oil surplus that precipitated a drop in the oil price from over $100 a barrel in mid-2014 to around $29 a barrel in February 2016.
Exports of Domestic Crude Oil
The ability to export domestic crude oil has a history from the early days of the industry. In these early times, having access to the world market was an essential outlet and provided some element of price support during those early years as the U.S. oil resource base expanded from the initial discoveries in Pennsylvania, then to Texas, and then on to California. See Figure 2
Initially, U.S. crude oil exports grew as oil production grew. The periodic spikes in U.S. crude oil exports are generally attributed to the occurrence of various exogenous events usually related to political conflict. Highlighting of some of the major events that created these spikes in crude oil exports includes:
- The first major run-up occurred during the middle 1930's prior to World War II and continued for 20 years (from about 1934 -1954). U.S. crude oil supplied the allies during the war, supported war reconstruction in both Europe and Japan after the war, and was a key oil supplier during the Korean Conflict.
- The second spike happened in July 1956 when Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal and Israel, the United Kingdom, and France invaded Egypt to secure the Canal; an effort that was thwarted by the United Nations. U.S. crude oil exports supplied the general market.
- The third up-tic occurred about 10 years later as Israel pre-empted a potential invasion and struck Arab Forces mobilizing in the Sinai (Egypt) during June 1967. This was the third Arab-Israeli War and is generally referred to as the Six Day War. Again, U.S. crude oil exports supplied the needs of the general market.
- Another Arab-Israeli conflict occurred again during October 1973 when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel, which Israel repulsed. U.S. crude oil exports during this time were de minimis. Following this adventure, however, the Arab Members of OPEC created a politico-economic response by announcing an oil boycott against Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. which lasted from October 1973 to March 1974. During this time period, the price of oil trebled from $3 a barrel to $12 a barrel.
- The fourth upturn in U.S. crude oil exports was precipitated by the Iranian Revolution in 1979 followed by the Iran-Iraq War which lasted from 1980-1988 during which times oil exports initially from Iran and then from Iraq were severely limited due to hostilities. This up-tick was further sustained by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990 which resulted in Kuwait oil production, which was set afire by the departing Iraqi Army, being off the market for many months. Most U.S. crude oil exports during this time were to Canada as the export restriction was in place.
- In the period directly following these Middle East events, 1993 to 1997, crude oil was "exported" to the U.S. Virgin Islands to supply the Hess refinery located at St. Croix; probably with Alaskan North Slope. The quantity of the crude oil exported averaged 87,000 barrels a day.1
- In 1996 exports of Alaskan North Slope Crude Oil were authorized with certain requirements to utilize American bottoms and follow other restrictions. For the next nine years sporadic deliveries were made primarily to Japan and Korea. During this 9 year period, 2.7% of the Alaskan North Slope crude oil production was exported or an average of 28,300 barrels daily.2 Exports of Alaskan North Slope to Asia also occurred again in 2014 with two cargos moving and another cargo during 2015.
- The latest surge in U.S. exports of crude oil is a result of a technological innovation that enhances oil and gas recovery from shale formations – hydraulic fracturing. Exports of domestic crude oil began in earnest in early 2013 and continued both before and after the repeal of the crude oil export ban in December 2015. During the export ban, the primary destination was Canada (293,000 barrels a day).
The export restrictions related to U.S. produced crude oil were repealed in December 2015 by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 and U.S. produced crude oil is now traded freely in the worldwide oil market. During this short time that unfettered exports have been permitted, the dominant destination is again Canada with refineries located in the Maritime Provinces as the prime customers receiving waterborne shipments of U.S. crude oil. From the repeal date through April 2016, 15 countries have received exported domestic crude oil that totals 445,000 barrels a day. The major recipients, in addition to dominant recipient, Canada (307,000 barrels a day), include smaller shipments to Curacao (blending), Netherlands (petrochemical manufacture), and Italy (refinery input).
Given the governmental restrictions in place from 1975 through the end of 2015 and excluding the special dispensations for the Virgin Islands and for movements of Alaskan crude oil, the destination of exported crude oil was primarily Canada, which was transported by pipeline crossing the border at various connections throughout the Great Lakes area and along the northern border in Montana and Washington or by tanker delivered into the Maritime Provinces.
Implications for Shipping
The ability to again export domestic crude oil offers tanker owners the opportunity to now load outbound cargos at the same or a nearby port from which an inbound cargo of imported crude oil was just discharged. These opportunities can arise at the major oil ports of Corpus Christi, Houston, Texas City, Port Arthur, and New Orleans on the Gulf Coast and Los Angeles on the West Coast. From an industry viewpoint, such an opportunity improves both operational efficiency and company profitability.
Since the ending of restrictions in December 2015, crude oil exports and averaged about 500,000 barrels a day, or about the equivalent of one export tanker every day and early indications suggest the primary crude oil export ports are Houston and Corpus Christi. As the ability to export U.S. produced crude oil takes its place in the world market, a consistent pattern will emerge and will be based on the worldwide balance of supply vs. demand for crude oil. A key indicator as to the balance between supply and demand is manifest by the price; especially the price relationships among commodities of the same type.
In the world of crude oils, the best price indicator for U.S. crude oil is the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. Similarly, the best price indicator for foreign crude oils is the price of Brent Crude Oil, which is produced in the North Sea. Both crude oils are blends of crude oils produced from various fields generally located in the same or similar oil producing basins. For example, Brent Crude Oil is a blend of oils produced from the Brent, Forties, Oseberg, and Ekofisk oil producing formations. Similarly, WTI is a blend of similar quality oils produced in West Texas from the Permian Basin area as well as similar quality oils from oil producing basins located in Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The basic crude oil quality parameters are displayed by Table 1.
Indications of Opportunity
A primary indication for an opportunity to engage in re-loading crude oil after discharging a cargo of imported crude oil at major oil ports in the U.S. can be achieved by monitoring the price difference between West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent Crude Oils. See Figure 3
What are the waterborne price indications that would suggest shipping opportunities since exports of U.S. produced crude oil are now permitted?
If WTI is over Brent (positive difference), i.e., WTI/Brent > $2.00/Bbl – then low sulphur high gravity foreign crude oils flow into the U.S. (see "IMPORTS" in graph above)
If WTI is under Brent (negative difference), i.e., WTI/Brent > $2.00/Bbl – then U.S. crude oil flows to countries in both Europe and the Mediterranean (see "EXPORTS" in graph above)
If the price difference is between -$2.00/Bbl < WTI/Brent > $2.00/Bbl, this represents a null point resulting in essentially no cross Atlantic trade; WTI stays in Western Hemisphere – Brent stays in Eastern Hemisphere
The price difference of $2.00 a barrel is the estimated average full cost for transporting crude oil within the Atlantic Basin. This would include the market freight for chartering or operating an oil tanker on a voyage basis, cargo loss, import duties and taxes, as well as a provision for catastrophic insurance. Adjustments to this suggested fixed differential should be made to reflect the current total cost of freight.
While trade restrictions regarding the export of U.S. produced crude oil were in effect (1975-2015), the U.S. was a one-way market as far as crude oil was concerned – imports only. Since the repeal of these export restrictions in December 2015, the market has now become a two-way market – imports and exports. This offers ship owners and operators an opportunity to increase both efficiency and profitability by having the capability to re-load a cargo of crude oil in the U.S. at either the same or at a very close neighboring port after discharging a cargo of imported crude oil. While the ability to export domestic crude oil is still a relatively new prospect, as various U.S. crude oils find their place in the world market, a consistent pattern will develop and offer ship owners the opportunity to become established in these new trading patterns.
Monitoring commodity price differentials can offer insight as to what freight opportunities might be available.

i am femme, i am fireweed
Fireweed is a collection of poetry that explores the rawness, trauma, and realities of adolescence compounded with the experience of being a young, Indigenous, and two-spirit intergenerational residential school survivor. Rooted in the symbolism and growth of fireweed, a flower native to the northwest of Canada, this collection takes readers through the hurt, healing, love, and spreading that encompassed the first 23 years of the author's attempt to find truth, safety and connection. Grounded in the simplicity of words and the illustration of the north, this book is a powerful window into the process of finding oneself while reclaiming culture and identity.
Fireweed is a debut poetry collection by Tunchai Redvers of the Deninu K'ue First Nation. It is a four-part collection of poetry whose sections are titled: "Devastation: the hurt," "Rebirth: the healing," "Grounded: the love," and "Seeds: the spreading." Redvers dedicates her book to Indigenous youth, Indigenous women, and two-spirit people who are quite literally dying to not only have relevant content and support available to them, but content and support that is healing and hopeful.
Fireweed will be published by Kegedonce Press in the Summer of 2019.
Tunchai Redvers will publish her debut poetry collection, Fireweed, with Kegedonce in 2019. Fireweed is a four-part collection of poetry and prose. It explores the rawness, trauma, and realities of adolescence compounded with the experience of being a young, Indigenous, and two-spirit intergenerational residential school survivor.
Tunchai Redvers, known to spirit as White Feather Woman, is a two-spirit social justice warrior, writer, and wanderer belonging to Deninu K'ue First Nation. With Dene, Métis and Scottish roots on her maternal side and English, Italian and Irish roots on her paternal side, she was born and raised in Treaty 8 territory, Northwest Territories. Now living in southern Ontario, she is the co-founder of We Matter, a national organization dedicated to Indigenous youth hope and life promotion. Recognized nationally and internationally for her work, her advocacy and writing centers the reclamation and indigenization of identity, mental health and healing. She spends most of her time resisting, loving, and travelling across territories, and considers herself a nomad just like her ancestors. She finds safety in the words: be proud of who you are, be thankful for those who love and guide you, and never forget where you came from.
YOU ARE ENOUGH: LOVE POEMS FOR THE END OF THE WORLD by Smokii Sumac
WINNER of the 2019 INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARD
in the PUBLISHED POETRY IN ENGLISH category!
Congratulations, Smokii!
In his debut poetry collection you are enough: love poems for the end of the world, Smokii Sumac has curated a selection of works from two years of a near daily poetry practice. What began as a sort of daily online poetry journal using the hashtag #haikuaday, has since transformed into a brilliant collection of storytelling drawing upon Indigenous literary practice, and inspired by works like Billy Ray Belcourt's This Wound is a World, and Tenille Campbell's #IndianLovePoems. With sections dealing with recovery from addiction and depression, coming home through ceremony, and of course, as the title suggests, on falling in and out of love, Sumac brings the reader through two years of life as a Ktunaxa Two-Spirit person. This collection will move you as Sumac addresses the grief of being an Indigenous person in Canada, shares timely (and sometimes hilarious) musings on consent, sex, and gender, introduces readers to people and places he has loved and learned from, and through it all, helps us all come to know that we are enough, just as we are.
Check out these articles featuring Smokii Sumac and his book, you are enough!

NOW AVAILABLE FROM KEGEDONCE PRESS! SITTING BY THE RAPIDS by Albert Dumont
Poetry is the raging rapids and it is the little fish which doesn't give up until the turbulent waters are behind it. Poetry is purpose, renewal and rebirth. sitting by the rapids is all of this and offers insight into the mind of an Indigenous man who lives with severe chronic pain and who found the strength through spirituality and poetry to put a life of alcohol abuse behind him forever.
Albert Dumont writes of sitting by the rapids: "The ancestors, living at the time of European contact had a way with words. Poetry spilled effortlessly from their lips because the spirit of the land guided their words. I take seriously my belief that medicine of extraordinary healing power is found in the verses of a poet who puts words together for the purpose of bringing peace and serenity to people in want of it. The counsels and poetry of a person living with pain are special and more meaningful to an individual in the throes of heartache."
These gentle words full of love and powerful energy are like Albert himself. They encourage and guide the way for all who read them and are prepared to move on. —Maria Campbell, author of Halfbreed.
Reading sitting by the rapids is a literary experience much like Indigenous poet Albert Dumont's title for his collection. His reflective lines of personal spirituality and salvation flow over the hidden rocks of his life with a raw grace, and his evolving relationship with Nature and the Great Spirit washes powerfully over the reader, who may well see their reflection in it. —Phil Jenkins, author of An Acre of Time.
Nominated for the 2ND ANNUAL INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARD
in the PUBLISHED POETRY IN ENGLISH category!
Congratulations, Jules!
A debut poetry collection by author and filmmaker Jules Arita Koostachin.
To unearth our secrets means we must face our past, and in doing so, we will find our voice.
Unearthing Secrets, Gathering Truths delves into the life and the healing of an lnnininew woman from the ancestral lands of the Moshkekowok, now called Northern Ontario. It is through the process of writing broken poetry--visual poetry rooted in the haunting memories of her childhood--that she provides the reader a glimpse into the mind of child survivor who was saved by her ancestors. This thought provoking poetry sheds light on a personal account of how she comes to terms with intergenerational trauma inflicted by the residential school system.
Unearthing Secrets, Gathering Truths explores the heartfelt and evocative fragmented experiences through the eyes of an Indigenous woman. Through the honesty of her words, she embraces the spirit world, the resilience of her foremothers, the integral healing powers of disassociation as a survival mechanism, and the richness of her mitewin--dreams--which reconnects her to herself. Through her poetry, she has found the courage to face her difficult past, and now as a mother, she is gathering the truths of her family to help in the healing process.

creole métisse of french canada, me
One Métis woman's experience in Canada; true stories from the inside out.
creole métisse of french canada, me is poetry written in a unique, prose-like fashion, without capitalized words. Sharron's personal stories enable the reader to see the bigger picture: the ongoing effects of colonialism, the historic treatment of Indigenous people, and the experience of being a woman, Métis, and two-spirited in Canada.
"I wish I could be that brave. as brave as the big dipper. the great bear there, purring, watching, holding my hand. me looking to the side and down. the words I seek are buried there, under grief. inside the darkness of a cottonwood, inside the seeds of orange berries. the wings of a female mallard in flight, exposing blues and whites and blacks otherwise unseen, like a woman's beauty, often hidden until she looks up, sees the small spaces between the leaves, yellow hearts on the black bark after a fall rain." - Excerpt from creole métisse of french canada, me
"This text revolves around itself, weaves a lineage into its own lining, retells and untells stories from before and after. This text is a reach into the breach, a simultaneous digesting and retching that fetches the wretched of the earth and beads it into balance. This text allows the vitriol of history to surface but not surpass the story of songlines, breaths of care that filter into alveoli, sustaining and disclaiming all at once. This text is a single word writ worldly on our skin." Ashok Mathur, Ph.D. Head, Department of Creative Studies, University of British Columbia, Okanagan.
"Readers of sharron's earlier books will be moved to hear more of her poetic storytell, while readers new to her work have in this book an open doorway through which to visit with a woman of knowledge, energy, challenge, and wit, an important métisse/Métis writer." Joanne Arnott, author of Halfling Spring
Sharron Proulx-Turner was a member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Originally from the Ottawa river valley, Sharron was from Mohawk, Wyandat, Algonquin, Ojibwe, Mi'kmaw, French and Irish ancestry. Sharron was a two-spirit nokomis, mom, writer and community worker. Where the Rivers Join (1995), a memoir (Beckylane), was a finalist for the Edna Staebler Award for creative non-fiction, and what the auntys say (2002), was a finalist for the Gerald Lampert Prize for poetry.
Sharron's work appeared in several anthologies, including Oxford Anthology of Canadian Native Literature in English, Crisp Blue Edges, Tales from Moccasin Avenue, Double Lives: Writing and Motherhood, and in literary journals, including Gatherings, Yellow Medicine Review and West Coast Line. Sharron had two more recent books, a mixed-genre-historical-fiction called, she walks for days/ inside a thousand eyes/ a two-spirit story (2008), and a book of dedication poems called she is reading her blanket with her hands (2008). Sharron passed away in 2016. Kegedonce Press is honoured to publish this manuscript in her memory.
Gwen Benaway is of Anishinaabe and Métis descent. Her first collection of poetry, Ceremonies for the Dead, was published in 2013 and her second collection of poetry, Passage, was published by Kegedonce Press in Fall 2016. As emerging Two-Spirited Trans poet, she has been described as the spiritual love child of Tomson Highway and Anne Sexton. In 2015, she was the recipient of the inaugural Speaker's Award for a Young Author and in 2016 she received a Dayne Ogilvie Honour of Distinction for Emerging Queer Authors from the Writer's Trust of Canada. Her work has been published and anthologized internationally. She and her many vintage dresses can be found on Instagram @gwenbenaway
In her second collection of poetry, Passage, Gwen Benaway examines what it means to experience violence and speaks to the burden of survival. Traveling to Northern Ontario and across the Great Lakes, Passage is a poetic voyage through divorce, family violence, legacy of colonization, and the affirmation of a new sexuality and gender. Previously published as a man, Passage is the poet's first collection written as a transwoman. Striking and raw in sparse lines, the collection showcases a vital Two Spirited identity that transects borders of race, gender, and experience. In Passage, the poet seeks to reconcile herself to the land, the history of her ancestors, and her separation from her partner and family by invoking the beauty and power of her ancestral waterways. Building on the legacy of other ground-breaking Indigenous poets like Gregory Scofield and Queer poets like Tim Dlugos, Benaway's work is deeply personal and devastating in sharp, clear lines. Passage is a book burning with a beautiful intensity and reveals Benaway as one of the most powerful emerging poets writing in Indigenous poetics today.

So I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been crazy busy.
Karina and I flew to Venice. It was absolutely beautiful, especially the architecture. We took a gondola ride and of course, partook in the local delicacies pizza, calzone, canollis... They were all delicious.
After a full but leisurely long weekend, we returned to Oxford. I had a track meet the next day, the Southern England Student Sports Association Championships. I won a gold medal, an actual medal. (In high school, we got medals at nearly every meet, but in college, they only give out medals at championships, so this was special.) My distances are still in pre-season mode, but I'm very excited to get back home and back in the weight room. It was really nice to spend one last day with some of my OUAC teammates. Six of us went to the meet and four of us won gold medals.
After the meet, I spent the night trying to get my room and the rest of the house cleaned. Karina and I left the house early that morning to go to Heathrow. From there, I fly to Iceland. It was absolutely beautiful, glaciers, volcanos, beaches, waterfalls. I didn't get to see a volcano, but I did see a lot of ash. Some of the glaciers were covered with it. The sand on the beach was also black. It was raining both nights I was there, so I couldn't see the Northern Lights. Bummer.
Right now, I'm in Copenhagen. So far, I've seen Scandinavia's longest designer shopping street. Everything here is a bit expensive. I saw the coast today and the the Little Mermaid statue, which commemorates Hans Christian Andersen's story. The statue has only recently returned to Denmark. It was only display in China at the World Expo this year. Tomorrow I'm going to try to catch the changing of the guard ceremony. The guard marches from one palace to the other at noon everyday.
I leave Tuesday for Switzerland. I'll be staying with a friend for a few days and then I'm off to Sweden.
I promise to check in soon.

"Jamie Fraser would be Deeply Gratified at having inspired such a charmingly funny, poignant story—and so am I."—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series
Escape to Scotland with the delightful new novel that readers have fallen in love with — inspired by Diana Gabaldon's #1 New York Times bestselling Outlander series.
I met Jamie Fraser when I was nineteen years old. He was tall, red-headed, and at our first meeting at least, a virgin. He was, in fact, the perfect man. That he was fictional hardly entered into it…
On the cusp of thirty, Emma Sheridan is desperately in need of a change. After a string of failed relationships, she can admit that no man has ever lived up to her idea of perfection: the Scottish fictional star of romantic fantasies the world over—James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser.
Her ideal man might be ripped from the pages of a book, but Emma hopes that by making one life-altering decision she might be able to turn fiction into fact. After selling all her worldly possessions, Emma takes off for Scotland with nothing but her burgeoning travel blog to confide in.
But as she scours the country's rolling green hills and crumbling castles, Emma discovers that in searching for her own Jamie Fraser, she just might find herself.
This is an interesting break-out series from an Outlander fan: the whole story is a relationship between the blogger and her world, and to some degree with the commenters to the blog. The story takes us along on the blogger's physical and emotional journey. In a way it is about this character's life imitating art, or trying to find a way to get into one's favorite book. She meets a lot of unique people along the way. Every reader knows the feeling of wanting more, wanting the book world to be yours or to have the characters come to life.
There is an unexplained paranormal event, but I don't think it was paranormal, but it was left up in the air so who knows.
I enjoyed the idea of facing one's fears, and going out on a quest for love. I know a lot of women and men who do search for their special someone. Only they just go to a bar, or out with friends, or to church, searching for someone to love and with only the generalized ideal mate in their mind.
After 33.5 years of marriage I can tell you that the ideal mate does not exist. What you may find in a quest, however, is a real mate: someone as special and as imperfect, as wonderful and flawed as you are.
I thought the characters were fairly interesting, if, for the most part, caricatures. Emma seems young for 30; somewhat disassociated from life, friends and society. I am not sure what she planned for life other than working as a barista, which is fine unless one was not satisfied, and she was not. But, at 30, divorced, and unemployed, she has nothing to lose by taking a risk.
Actually, if it doesn't kill her it could only make her stronger and more focused.
I also loved all the little trips, within the larger journey, as well as the story being absolutely non-pedantic in relaying historical notes and facts.
I did get confused, however, on whether it was Claire and Jamie or some combination of OUTLANDER and PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. In my eyes it was more about the P & P basis than it was about OUTLANDER.
Still, I enjoyed reading the book, and couldn't find much in the way of inconsistencies. It's a fun read for any OUTLANDER fan. I do think it would be better to read after reading OUTLANDER though.

National chairman of Labour Party, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, Tuesday gave an indication that he will be stepping down as chairman of the party.
Chief Nwanyanwu was reportedly to have announced his decision to leave his seat as the chairman of the party at the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting of the party held at its national secretariat in Abuja.
Nwanyanwu was said to delivered what appeared to be his valedictory speech during the NWC meeting, informing other national officials about his intention to quit office and to allow his successor to emerge during the party's convention scheduled for next month, according to a reliable source.
Nwanyanwu has been holding the position since 2004 and has completed two terms.
It was also gathered that some party stakeholders have tried to advise him against the decision and continue to be the chairman of the party since its constitution does not set a limit to the tenure of the party chairmanship.
"Many of us would want him to continue in office. There have been pressures from stakeholders for him not quit but to stay further since the constitution does not provide any limit or tenure for the office of the chairman. No doubt his tenure has helped to build the party to a great heights," the source said.
But the source informed that despite pressure on him to stay back,he was said to have stood by his decision to leave office which according to the source may not be unconnected with the defection of the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko who was his most trusted allies in the party to the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

About gas price? I am really not aware how much is the gas price here in our area but as what my husband keeps saying, it's nice high. I think I saw one time that it almost $4/gallon. But I can share with you how we are saving gas. If we go out at night, we don't turn the air-conditioner on because the wind is cooler outside. We only used air-conditioner if it is really hot outside.

This is the NEW (Sept 29, 2009) coffee from Starbucks called VIA. It is an INSTANT coffee sold in their stores or online. They are not offering it ready to drink at the store, but in a packet format so you can take it home and brew it when you want. OK, you don't 'brew' it, you pour it in a cup and add hot water. Sold in 3 pack and 12 pack. Not much cheaper than other brands. The store manager said it was a 20 year process to develop this new 'tastes like real brew' instant coffee. Comes in Colombian and Italian Roast. The store was giving small cup samples of the Italian Roast. It was VERY STRONG!
We have a take home free sample packet of Colombian which we will taste and review soon. The Italian Roast did have a hint of instant coffee taste. A coffee alternative, not really a replacement. You don't think Starbucks would prefer to sell their instant coffee over the more expensive real brew coffee do you? This is a take it home and make it kind of product. The store most likely will not give you a cup of hot water so you can drink it in the store.Buy it on Amazon

Recently I have discovered a couple of shortcomings that I would like to share with you, interestingly both related to including code/resources.
1) Support to include custom common code
LUA Strategies come with a file called helper.lua and helperAlert.lua that provide common helpful code. They are commonly included across many strategies and indeed are very useful. Including common code is one of the best practices in software development, and as a developer myself, I tried to create my own common include files to include across my own strategies but it seems this is not supported well.
While this is easy enough to create in development, the problems come when it comes to deployment and testing
– The Lua Strategy Debugger's app_path points to the GehtSoft folder, not where the code is, so it fails to find the include file.
– Similarly, FXCM Trading Station failed to import the strategy as it complains it cannot find the include file.
– Compiling the strategy does not embed the included code in the .bin file, and produces the same problem as above.
– FXCM Trading Station will not let me import the helper standalone as it is not a strategy and does not have an init method
– I have tried changing the path such that it doesn't depend on the app_path but attempts to point at the local directory like ".\customInclude.lua" or "customInclude.lua" etc.
I even tried sneaking extra methods into the standard helperAlert code, but this gets overwritten with each FXCM Trading Station update, breaking all my strategies (and unfortunately you don't know until it tries to execute that code which might be when it tries to trade!)
At the moment, the only way that works is if I manually copy the file to the expected locations for the debugger and FXCM Trading Station, but this is far from ideal for deployment purposes.
This has been posted on the DailyFX Forum and it has been confirmed that it is not supported. A suggestion has been made to the developers so they can enhance it accordingly. Let's hope it comes through. In the mean time, I guess we need to stick to old-fashioned copy and paste.
2) Including the common.lua.rc file
Indicators and Strategies usually include a common.lua.rc resource file. This is used for multi-language localization support mostly. This file is distributed with FXCM Trading Station and Lua's standard indicators/strategies. However, FXCM Trading Station has a different directory structure compared to Lua's standard deployment.
FXCM chose to store non-custom code under a Standard folder, and custom code under a Custom folder so this means in Trading Station, the common.lua.rc file is available in the CandleworksFXTS2indicatorsStandard folder while Trading Station stores Custom Indicators/Strategies under a different folder, for example – CandleworksFXTS2indicatorsCustom, and the file is missing from there.
This means that when FXCM Trading Station imports custom code that rely on this common file being there, it isn't! Given this is a standard file, I asked FXCM how other developers have handled this and they recommended that fevelopers change their code to try to use a relational path like ..Standardcommon.lua.rc … I have tested this and it appears to work.
So, I'll slowly be restructuring my development environment and source control to match, and of course the Live environment. So something for you guys to keep in mind too if you have been playing with your own code.

Colorado Community-Based Archaeology
Hi! My name is Michele Koons. As Curator of Archaeology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS), my job is to conduct field research, communicate archaeology effectively to a wide audience, and curate the archaeology collection. It was a true honor to have the opportunity to attend the Digital Archaeology Institute at Michigan State University this year. I added so many exciting tools to my archaeology toolkit! Because I am involved in so many diverse projects, it was difficult to pick just one to focus on for the institute. Nonetheless, I decided to focus on building a digital platform for a community-based archaeology program that we are just getting off the ground.
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is heavily engaged in Citizen Science, yet archaeology, for the most part, has taken a backseat. The goal of a community-based project is to make archaeology accessible and knowable to a larger audience. This includes K-12 students, university students, native communities, volunteers, archaeologists, the interested general public, donors, and various other stakeholders. The intention is to build a long-term and flexible program. The well-known archaeological site, Magic Mountain, near Golden, CO is the perfect location for our inaugural project. We are in the process of securing necessary permits, permissions, and partners to begin a project there.
Nestled in the foothills along Lena Gulch, Magic Mountain got its name from a now defunct amusement park located nearby. Prehistorically, it was occupied between 5000 BC and 1000 AD and is proclaimed to be one of the most important sites on Colorado's Front Range. However, no popular literature exists on the site, and it is not a large part of local lore or the identity of the region. Magic Mountain was excavated twice in the past; first, by Harvard University in the 1950s, and second by the CRM firm, Centennial Archaeology, in the 1990s. DMNS houses the collections from the latter excavation. A preliminary visit to the site in July 2015 with the director of the 1990s project indicated there is still a lot work to do and a lot of interest in the community.
Once permission is secured, we propose to begin the archaeological program with drone photogrammetry to create 3D topographic maps and geophysical surveys to understand the subsurface environment. Later, we will build an excavation program based on the results of this work.
I propose a two part digital project for the institute. First, I will build a website to act as a living platform that will develop alongside the archaeological project. The website will have information on the site itself, the logistics for the project, information on how to get involved on various levels, and tutorials on "what is archaeology?" and best practices. This website will focus on blogging and providing live updates on the progress of the project. The archaeological data will also be shared through the website. A strong social media campaign will help promote the project within the community and with media outlets. When the project is complete the website will serve as a project record.
Part two will focus on crowdsourcing to compile information from existing site forms and artifacts from Magic Mountain. In the upcoming year, I will work with volunteers to scan the 1990s site forms and photograph the artifacts at DMNS. The digital transcription forms will be designed so that the information from the old forms can be integrated with newly collected data. This will aid in open data sharing/publishing in the future. The crowdsourcing part of the project may not be completed this year, but I will get the pieces in place for the development.
We are very excited to launch this community archaeology program for Denver and beyond. I am so grateful to continue working with and learning from the amazing community I met at the Digital Archaeology Institute to bring this archaeological project into the digital age.

Tour of the Ubuntu Linux Desktop
This section presents new words (for some readers) in a context that explains the terms well enough to get you started with the Ubuntu desktop. If you would like exact definitions as you read this section, refer to GNOME Desktop Terminology on page 105 and to the Glossary. The Glossary also describes the data entry widgets (page 1068), such as the combo box (page 1029), drop-down list (page 1035), list box (page 1045), and text box (page 1064).

This section presents new words (for some readers) in a context that explains the terms well enough to get you started with the Linux desktop. If you would like exact definitions as you read this section, refer to GNOME Desktop Terminology on page 110 and to the Glossary. The Glossary also describes the data entry widgets (page 1115), such as the combo box (page 1075), drop-down list (page 1080), list box (page 1091), and text box (page 1110).
Methods of Interaction during Installation
Most methods of Linux installation require you to make decisions during the process. You may need to tell the system how to partition your hard disk, what your network settings are, and so on. To handle such interactions, distribution maintainers have developed three methods of data entry GUI-based, text-based, and scripted. The first two are most suitable for customized individual installations, while scripts are best used when you are configuring large numbers of nearly identical systems.
Database Open Officeorg Base
Each field in the table can be of various types, including several different integer and text types, as well as binary and Boolean values. Forms can contain a variety of controls, ranging from simple text boxes to radio buttons and scrolling lists, all of which can make data entry easier. Reports can feature a variety of text formatting and can also rely on queries to manipulate the data. The queries themselves can feature a variety of functions and filters in order to sort data down to the finest detail.
The 25x26x Kernel Configuration Tools
In the 2.5.x and later GUI tool, a check mark stands for a Y response, a solid dot stands for an M, and an empty square or circle stands for N. Some options enable you to select between one of several possibilities when you click one option, the others in the class are deselected. If you double-click an entry that supports numeric data entry, you can type a number to enter it.
Stage 2 Porting the Application
It was always known that this would be one of the most technically difficult phases of the project. Although no more cash was required at this stage, it would prove to be costly in personnel resources. Almost all the staff of the hospital's small Information Technology and Management Department was involved either in porting the application, or testing the hundreds of data entry screens and reports after Infostat had been transferred.
Short History of ncurses
The System V UNIX releases continued curses' march along the feature trail, adding support for forms, menus, and panels. Forms enable the programmer to create easy-to-use data entry and display windows, simplifying what is usually a difficult and application-specific coding task. Panels extend curses' ability to deal with overlapping and stacked windows. Menus provide, well, menus, again with a simpler, generalized interface. Due to space limitations, unfortunately, we will not cover these elements of the ncurses package.
Access Control Lists
To edit an existing ACL, simply click on the highlighted name. You will then be presented with a screen containing all relevant information about the ACL. Depending on the type of the ACL, you will be shown different data entry fields. The operation of each type is very similar, so for this example, you'll step through editing of the localhost ACL. Clicking the localhost button presents the page that's shown in Figure 12.14.
Using scanf for Entry of Numeric Values
For most simple programs you may write while you're getting your bearings in assembly, you'll be entering simple integers, and scanf() is very good at that. Using it is simple Pass scanf() the name of a numeric variable in which to store the entered value, and a formatting code indicating what form that value will take on data entry. The scanf() function takes the characters typed by the user and converts them to the integer value that the characters represent. For example, scanf() will take the two ASCII characters ''4'' and ''2'' entered In practical terms, the only string used by scanf() is a string containing the formatting codes. If you want a prompt, you must display the prompt before calling scanf(), using printf(). To keep the prompt and the data entry on the same line, make sure you don't have an EOL character at the end of your prompt string. The scanf() function automatically takes character input from standard input. There's no need to pass it the file handle stdin, as...
Terminal Control with Escape Sequences
By default, output to a terminal emulator window enters at the left end of the bottom line, and previously displayed lines scroll up with the addition of each new line at the bottom. This is perfectly useful, but it's not pretty and certainly doesn't qualify as a ''user interface'' in any honest sense. There were plenty of ''full screen'' applications written for the Unix operating system in ancient times, and they wrote their data entry fields and prompts all over the screen. When color display terminals became available, text could be displayed in
Dialog Base
The widget KDialogBase is sort of a dialog kit. Most dialogs take the same basic form a collection of data-entry widgets with a row of buttons across the bottom. With that in mind, the KDialogBase widget was designed with a built-in row of buttons. The following example program displays the default configuration of a
Etcfstab File
Linux mounts the filesystems in the order they are given in etc fstab. Note in the preceding sample file that the entry that mounts usr data follows the entry that mounts usr. If the usr data entry came before the usr entry, the mount wouldn't work because the usr directory wouldn't yet exist. If one mount fails, Linux ignores it and executes the rest of the entries. If a mount of a directory that is used further down the file fails, the dependent mounts fail too. For example, if the mount of usr fails for some reason, the mount of usr data fails too, as usr doesn't exist.
Show Tabs Header
The size of the dialog is determined by the size of the widgets it contains. It will appear as tall and wide as it needs to be for the largest widgets and the smaller widgets are centered, both vertically and horizontally. Popping up dialogs that use tabs to switch from one widget to another is becoming increasingly popular. It shows the user all the available options without also displaying a confusing page filled with data entry options.
Linux and Terminals
These terminals did not display the graphical desktops that have been mainstream since 1995 so. They were text-only devices, typically presenting 25 lines of 80 characters each, without icons or windows. Some applications used the full screen, presenting numbered menus and fill-in fields for data entry. The bulk of the Unix software tools, especially those used by programmers, were controlled from the command line, and sent back scroll-up-from-the-bottom output.
Pointer Record PTR
A PTR record is used to perform reverse mapping from an IP address to a host. PTR records are used in the reverse mapping files. The name entry holds a reversed IP address, and the data entry holds the name of the host. The following example maps the IP address 192.168.0.1 to turtle.mytrek.com
Testing the Project
The main page shows a listing of the current records in the table (which is now empty) and a link to create a new record. Click the New Person link, and a data entry form appears, shown in Figure 29-3. Figure 29-3 The new person data entry form web page. Figure 29-3 The new person data entry form web page.

A Yubikey is a small plastic rectangle that basically consists of a USB connector and a button. It resembles a tiny USB Flash drive, and as it measures only 18x45x2mm and weighs only 2 grams, it easily can be carried on a key-chain or in a wallet (Figures 1 and 2). When you plug it in to your machine's USB port, it identifies itself as a keyboard, implying that the Yubikey is platform-independent as long as the host device supports data entry via the USB Human Interface Device (HID) specifications. It draws power from the host device and, thus, does not have to depend on an internal battery. The whole device is quite compact and can be attached to an actual key ring using the small hole near the top of the device. The gold surface connectors are quite robust and are expected to last the lifetime of the device. According to a Yubico representative, Yubikeys still were usable after running them through a washing machine's cycle.
The above step is repeated, but this time a search is made for a data entry with the name bin so that the inode can be identified by its inode number. The name sought in its data entry is emacs. Again, this returns the number of an inode which, in this case, represents a file and not a directory. Figure 8-2 shows the situation at the end of the lookup process (the path taken is indicated by pointers between the objects).

The toothpick is a ubiquitous tool that has evolved with humans for as long as we have been playing with fire. Deep grooves in the fossilized teeth of our early ancestors tell us that even back then, we were using implements to help keep our teeth clean. As we evolve however, so do our tools.
From primitive wooden tools, evolved bronze versions, and by 17th century, Chinese and European nobility were using precious metal toothpicks, which were sometimes adorned with gemstones. While these personal and precious objects were en vogue among the upper class, wood and quill versions of the tool were more commonly used.
It wasn't until the wooden toothpick was mass produced in America in the 1870s, that their use began to permeate the cultural fabric of western society. In his article for Slate Magazine, toothpick expert, Henry Petroski states that in America, "the [wooden] toothpick took on a life of its own, serving not only as a utilitarian object but also as a status symbol and even as an accessory."
Toothpick chewing became so prevalent across America, that a Dear Abby columnist condemned the habit as vulgar. Such public dismissal of the habit further provoked the rebellious, and from then on, the wooden toothpick has been synonymous with the tough guy.
Here at ATTIC, however we appreciate that being tough and being refined can coexist. If you've ever been in a jewellery studio, you know that it often takes grit to make something beautiful. Our solid 14k gold toothpick is on is on it's way, so stay with us if you want to find out more.

Many people misunderstand what link masking means. They confuse it with link cloaking or link redirection.
So what is link masking then?
Link masking involves taking a lengthy website address URL and making it shorter or to take a URL from a piece of content that you want to share and change the URL as a branding or marketing opportunity.
So what are some reasons to use Link Masking? 🔗
1 - Hiding or masking, or branding an ugly affiliate link - Many people don't like clicking on an affiliate link simply because they know you're about to make money off them.
2 - To shorten or beautify a link – Some long URLs are a pain to copy and paste or type anywhere else online. Or are simply too long for places like Twitter where you are limited to 140 characters.
3 - Remarketing – Masking a link so you can add retargeting pixels into the links you share.
4 - To track clicks and stats – maybe you are just masking the link so that you can track how many people click on this one specific link. This is a digital marketing best practice when sharing links online
5 - Branding Opportunities – Masking a link so you can add some additional branding and call-to-actions.
Here's an example below where I've taken a long URL and shortened it so I can use it on twitter where the max character limit is 140 characters

You could also mask the link with a custom shortcode for extra confidence as not everyone trusts clicking short link made up of random characters.

One of the most common services used to shorten a URL is TinyURL, which launched more than 15 years ago.
Others used include bit.ly and Twitter's t.co.
BUT things have moved on a lot since then and these services don't give the sort of functions I've listed above.
So if you are sharing links then seriously consider using link masking techniques.
....and also don't confuse link masking with link cloaking which is used to present false information.
What we've done here at zubbit.io is to make sure the original URL is clear once you've actually clicked on the link.
If you're sharing links on the internet, you really should be using a URL shortener.
Maybe you are sharing links on emails, on social media, it doesn't matter...
BUT what does matter is that you are using a URL shortener and getting the maximum return on investment on every single link you share.
We'd love for you to choose zubbit.io as your link shortener but either way, we hope you enjoyed and got value from this article.
