Here you can see information for past events organised by the SFCP.
The fifth International Socratic Colloquium took place in Berlin. The topic of the Colloquium was "The Logic of Question and Answer" and it included various workshops the results from which were later used to formulate topics for Socratic Dialogues. The latter were especially challenging since they required the facilitators to plan on the spot. At the same time, however, the Socratic Dialogues prompted active participation and lead to fruitful insights and reflections.
The idea behind the international symposiums is to discuss and theorise upon the experience with dialogical philosophising within the neosocratic tradition, and other dialogical approaches as well. The format of these events is flexible, including different types of group and individual work. In Sofia, statements were given by speakers and discussed in group sessions, and short SDs were conducted and thoroughly reflected upon. In Italy the format was a bit different – no individual statements were given, except an introductory speech by Dr. Paolo Dordoni upon the main topic – interpretation. This was followed by a number of different activities, including discussion, working with texts, tackling a casus, Socratic Dialogues, and a group session on the main topic. Remarkably, this allowed the multitude of theoretical angles to converge, bringing about a cohesion between the participants in the colloquium
Grete Henry-Hermann (1901-1984) was a brilliant critical philosopher and philosopher of science, who collaborated in Nelson's scholarly work, was active in resistance activity in Nazi Germany, and later as a refugee in Britain. She took part actively in post war German democratic politics, teacher training, and chairing Nelson's Academy. Though less well known as a mathematician, she shared developing ideas with the pioneers of quantum physics.

On the first Sunday of each month over 40 vendors gather at the Mercado Urbano at La Ventana al Mar in Condado. There were white tents filled with locally grown flowers, fruit, coffee, pastries, breads and Puerto Rico made clothing, soaps and crafts.
We went straight for Hermanos Torres and the mixed berry smoothies and pina coladas.
The pina colada was garnished with own pineapple, adorned with maraschino cherries and a paper umbrella.
We were given the pineapple fruit to enjoy. So impeccably fresh and sweet.
The guava danishes were tempting and the pastries' red purple hue were gorge.
We loved the skirt steak empanada served with chimichurri and the turkey empanada served with hot sauce.
I wish there were more guava pastries in the States. The guava cookies were buttery and had a guava jam filled center.
One of our favorite items at the Mercado was the Fried cheese with garlic mayo. We had to get two orders because we could not get enough of the garlic queso flavor.
The fried salt cod fritter or bacalaito was crispy on the outside and filled with cilantro, tomato and onion.

For most people, there are only two times in their lives when most of the people they love are all together at the same time and place: Their wedding and their funeral.
While they may not be able to appreciate the latter, they absolutely should make their wedding the happiest and most memorable experience of their lives. And one of the best ways to do that is to bring people together — literally.
Wedding Days Go By Fast
People who are married will often tell young couples planning their wedding that their wedding day is going to seem to go by very, very quickly. There is simply so much to do, so many people to see, and so much excitement and festivities that before you know it the whole day is going to be over.
Regardless of how hard you try, there just aren't enough minutes in the day to spend as much time with everybody at your wedding that you would like. But one of the best ways for couples to improve their chances and make their celebration both happier and safer is to charter luxury tour buses to transport their guests to and from the church and reception hall.
Happy Together
Weddings are social events. And couples aren't the only ones seeing people they haven't seen in a long time.
Friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, and others all come together to celebrate the couple's love for one another. But when everybody is driving independently, that together time is kept to just a few hours at the reception hall.
Wedding charters change all that by maximizing the amount of time your guests spend with one another. Plus, they offer the added benefit of not requiring people to drive — especially after celebrating.
If you want to remember your wedding day, spend more time with your guests, and keep everybody both happier and safer, then consider adding a wedding charter from FloridaTours.com to your plans for your big day.

Does your company need a CAD file conversion for use in animation or motion graphics?
CAD File Conversion:
We offer the most cost-effective way to get a reliable CAD file conversion and the expertise to use the converted model in any type of marketing video you may need with consistently beautiful results.
Turn your CAD file conversion into revenue with different types of promotional video content:
- Web Storefront & Amazon Product Pages
- Commercials
- Explainer Videos
- Investor Proposals
- Prototype Fly-Throughs
- Logo Animations
Why do other studios charge so much or get bad results?
Historically, getting a CAD file conversion that is compatible with motion graphics software has been challenging to say the least. And at worst, extremely expensive.
Typically there would be a lot of back and forth between your company's CAD engineers and the animator. This ties up a lot of your engineer's time and inconsistencies between different practices usually end in poor results. Consequently there's a good chance you'll end up with a buggy IGES file that is practically unusable.
Furthermore, if you're dealing with more than one CAD file conversion, old techniques may yield inconsistent results between multiple models. One model may look great while others have issues that require more time to troubleshoot, therefore costing you more money in the end.
Any CAD software. Any CAD model. No CAD file conversion is too complex.
Your CAD file conversion will have all of the detail that your engineers and designers invested so much time into. Essentially, the model used in your video will be nearly identical to it's real-life product.
Just email or WeTransfer us your native CAD file from any application. We support 99% of CAD softwares including the most commonly used applications:
- AutoCAD
- SolidWorks
- Inventor
- Solid Edge
- Catia
- ProE/Creo
- Rhino
- MicroStation
Ask us specifically about other CAD applications. Many lesser used applications are supported, but some may limit various functionalities.
Here are a few common CAD file conversion projects that may benefit your brand:
- Product Demonstration: Useful for web storefronts and Amazon listings
- Commercials: A short 30-60 second video showing the strengths of your product
- Prototype Videos: Great for reeling in investors for your new invention
- Explainer Videos: One of the best ways to explain a new product or service
- Logo Bumpers: Get a slick 3D logo intro starring your flagship product

Your recommended vegetable intake will vary depending on your age, gender, and other factors, but the general rule is to eat at least two to three cups of vegetables daily. The 2015–2020 dietary guidelines for Americans recommend eating "a variety of vegetables, including legumes (beans and peas), dark green, red, orange, starchy, and other vegetables." Make healthy eating a reality by swapping or adding vegetables into your breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and even desserts. Get started with these delicious ideas.

A number of measures are to be introduced in order to improve safety for bathers at Paphos beaches.
The Cyprus Tourism Organization has announced that billboards are to be installed at the access points to all dangerous beaches in the area, with clear warnings of the possible dangers of swimming.
The warnings will be written in four different languages.
Life jackets and rope will also be placed at dangerous coastal locations.
The announcement follows the death of a 32-year-old man who drowned after being swept away by waves in the Venus coastal area of Paphos.
Pandelis Stylianou's body was found floating near the beach after he had been carried away by high waves while swimming with a friend last Sunday.
According the head of Paphos police, many bathers are daily facing dangerous currents in the area, which is not adequately covered by lifeguards.

Prevent is part of the UK's counter terrorism strategy, aimed at preventing people from becoming involved in terrorism or supporting terrorism. Prevent is a legal duty for schools under the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015. This means that we need to be alert to the fact that people in Calderdale may be vulnerable to radicalisation, extremism and terrorism from different groups.
At Withinfields, we recognise our duty to keep children safe from extremism in the same way in which we prioritise them being safeguarded in other ways. We promote British Values through our assemblies, our curriculum and additional events that we organise.
If anyone associated to our school is concerned that a child or adult in the school community may be at risk of radicalisation, they should refer concerns immediately to one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads (Mrs Lowerson, Mrs York, Mrs Barton, Mrs Parkin). These people would then refer the matter to the Calderdale Prevent Coordinator.

Improve Performance with 10 Project Management Metrics
Measurement is key to successful project management. As the old adage says, "You can't manage what you don't measure."
Collecting and measuring data is at the heart of any worthwhile endeavor. With a New Year's resolution to lose weight, you may find yourself counting calories or—go you!—watching the pounds drop on the scale. Race car drivers track their miles to the second.
Likewise, for project management success, you can use metrics or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to help you strategically meet your business goals.
Why should you measure?
Metrics Prove Value
Project management metrics related to costs can prove the value of a team. For example, an on-time delivery rate or the rate of meeting SLA. Return on Investment (ROI) is a widely used metric to show this value.
If a department does not produce or contribute to the measurable objectives of a company, a smart company would dissolve the department and move resources to another area that produces results.
Metrics Improve Performance
While proving value is important, forward-thinking management places more value on improving performance. As we've shared before, relevant performance metrics enable you to improve your understanding. This removes uncertainty so that all involved parties can make well informed decisions.
For example, if the allotted slack time is delaying subsequent task completion, you can make adjustments in slack time so the project completion date is not at risk.
What type of business goals can you measure?
Business goals influence the performance metrics managers choose to use. These goals need to be SMART goals—not just wishes or dreams. A SMART goal includes the following elements:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Relevant
- Time-based
How do you choose metrics?
Each business or project requires unique metrics that align with its purpose or goal. Don Lowe, an expert in effective project management, explains three steps to choosing metrics:
- Understand the purpose or goal of the project or work.
- Determine what critical success factors need to be fulfilled in order for you to succeed and achieve the goal.
- Take each critical success factor for the project or program and identify how you will measure its fulfillment.
What are the project management critical success factors?
Here are six factors managers can measure to create metrics that determine project success:
- Benefits resulting from the capability delivered by a project
- Time/Schedule to deliver project output
- Cost to deliver project output
- Scope of work to deliver project output
- Quality of deliverables and quality of process (customer satisfaction)
- Risks including uncertainty or threats to project success
Where should you start with metrics?
Start here with 10 project management metrics to propel performance:
1. Productivity
This metric looks at overall capabilities of a company—how well it uses its resources. Productivity shows the relationship between inputs and outputs. How much are you getting out after all that you put into a project? The ideal productivity outcome is creating more for less.
- Productivity = Units of Input/Units of Output
2. Gross Profit Margin
Numbers speak louder than words. Metrics directly tied to the bottom line communicate success or failure more quickly than other metrics. In fact, career resources company OBOlinx refers to gross profit margin as "the mother of all metrics and the best indicator of a business's health."
The higher the margin, the better the business is doing. Any program or work performed should contribute to the financial profit of a business. Margin is the percentage of each dollar earned after costs have been subtracted.
- Gross Profit Margin = (Total Profit-Total Costs)/100
3. Return on Investment (ROI)
Return on investment specifically looks at the dollar amount earned for the amount invested in a project. Like gross margin, this is a financial equation. Instead of looking at overall profit, it looks at the specific benefit from the project divided by the costs.
To use this metric, a dollar amount needs to be assigned to each unit of data to determine the net benefits—benefits may include contribution to profit, cost savings, increased output, and improvements. Costs may include resources, labor, training, and overhead.
- ROI = (Net Benefits/Costs) x 100
4. Earned Value
Earned value provides strategic guidance by showing how much value you have earned from the money spent to date on a project. It compares the value of the work completed by a specific date in relation to the approved budget for the project.
Earned value is also called Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP). This metric provides a reality check during the process of a project. Check out this example to calculate earned value.
- Earned Value (EV) = % of Completed Work / Budget at Completion (BAC)
5. Customer Satisfaction
A customer satisfaction score provides a measure of quality for your service or product. Customer survey data results guide this metric. The Center for Business Practices outlines this as a score on a scale from one to 100. The product or service should do what it was meant to do and satisfy real customer needs.
Each company can develop a score unique to its business by weighing each variable based on its importance. Variables may include customer survey results, revenue generated from clients, repeat or lost clients, and complaints.
The Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) is the most widely used system for measuring customer satisfaction. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is another method to capture customer satisfaction. NPS reveals customer loyalty by probing the likelihood of a customer recommending the product or service.
- Customer Satisfaction Score = (Total Survey Point Score / Total Questions) x 100
6. Employee Satisfaction Score
Similar to customer satisfaction, survey data determines the employee satisfaction score. Why look at employees in measuring project management? Employee morale is directly correlated to project success—here are four tips to measure morale.
A satisfied employee creates better work more efficiently. The high costs of employee turnover—totaling 50% to 200% of an employee's salary—should be motive enough to pay attention to the people closest to the project.
The Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey is a popular tool to collect employee data. An Employee Satisfaction Index (ESI) processes results into an index score.
- Employee Satisfaction Score = (Total Survey Point Score / Total Questions) x 100
7. Actual Cost
The Actual Cost is a simple number that shows how much money is spent on a project—not an estimate. This cost is determined by adding up all the expenses for a specific project over the timeline.
- Actual Cost (AC) = Total Costs per Time Period x Time Period
8. Cost Variance
Cost variance shows the difference between the planned budget and actual costs within a specific timeframe. Is the estimate above or below the actual costs? A project is over budget if the cost variance is negative. A positive cost variance shows a project is under budget.
- Cost Variance (CV) = Budgeted Cost of Work – Actual Cost of Work
9. Schedule Variance
Schedule variance looks at budgeted and scheduled work. Is the project running ahead or behind of the planned budget?
The schedule variance is the budgeted cost of work performed minus the budgeted cost of work scheduled—the difference between work scheduled and completed. A negative schedule variance means the project is behind schedule.
- Schedule Variance (SV) = Budgeted Cost of Work Performed – Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled
10. Cost Performance
Cost performance is a cost efficiency metric. Divide the value of the work actually performed (earned value) by the actual costs it took to accomplish the earned value. Forecasting cost performance allows for accurate budget estimations.
- Cost Performance Index (CPI) = Earned Value / Actual Costs
To excel as a project manager, you need to do more than inspire and motivate. The proof is in the results—a manager needs to achieve (and exceed) business goals. Metrics propel performance by creating checkpoints during the process to continually improve.
When a measurable goal is not met, you need to make changes. When a goal is exceeded, you can repeat successful processes. So, step on the scale and take an inventory of your current status. Determine which project management metrics will best guide your business goals and then get to work.

Remember being little and impatiently sitting through dozens of Thanksgiving themed crafts in anticipation of when the red and green colored construction paper would finally be taken out in your classroom? Or how you would beg your mom to start the Christmas countdown early because you just could NOT wait for Santa to come? Apparently, it seems like many people do based on the fact that the Christmas season seems to arrive earlier and earlier every year. It's as if the entire country has reverted to an eager child that just cannot wait for the big day to get here. Yes, much of this has to do with consumerism, but for the sake of keeping things festive, we'll turn a blind eye and pretend it's really all just about the joy and love that is the true meaning of Christmas.
But is this early rush into the season a good thing? What about Thanksgiving? It's almost as if the holiday barely exists on the calendar anymore; we shift so fast from Halloween into Christmas. Grocery stores stock the shelves with Christmas specialties, candy foils go from black and orange to red and green, and holiday music appears in the blink of an idea. For the sake of this article, I will try not to be biased and to see from both the eyes of a Christmas fanatic (guilty) and a normal, liking Christmas during its appointed time, person. And to you Scrooges who just do not like Christmas, I order you to watch Elf on repeat. Here are the pros and cons to the earlier start of the Christmas Season!
Pro: Um, what's not to like? One of the most underrated genres out there, Christmas music has far too short of an air life. It's uplifting, positive, and all around jolly (with the exception of Christmas Shoes because that is just the most depressing song ever)! If people start playing it November 1st, it's not because they're aiming to drive everyone crazy. They're just trying to get into the wonderful spirit of the holidays a bit early and to accomplish the impossible task of getting sick of All I Want For Christmas Is You – like that could even happen.
Con: Too. Soon. Christmas music playing in November means you will definitely be sick of it by December and the 25 days where it's actually supposed to play will drive you past the point of insanity. It also makes it less special, less magical. Mariah Carey's voice will eventually start to sound like a dying seagull who inhaled helium.
Pro: Dunkin; Donuts brought out their Peppermint Mocha lattes the first week of November this year. That means two full months of pepperminty goodness. We can all get our fair share of egg nog, sugar cookie, and peppermint flavored goodies without feeling like we only have a limited time with them. What's not to love about any of this?
Con: Maybe you're angry they got rid of pumpkin flavorings so fast and think Peppermint tastes like Tums. You're over people tweeting and instagramming about how good their Christmas flavored beverages from Starbucks are. So old. So fast.
Outdoor Decorations
Pro: Driving around your town covered in lights and with festive Santas and mangers everywhere makes you feel like you're in a great Hallmark channel Christmas movie. Your mood is brighter, the scenery more joyful. Christmas is the BEST ever!
Con: By the time Christmas rolls around, you're so used to decorations that they don't even feel festive anymore, just normal. Even the smile on that plastic Santa in front of your neighbor's house looks like it has grown duller. You feel like you're in the middle of one of those bad Hallmark Christmas movies.
Indoor Decorations
Pro: Your home, the mall, the grocery store – all spaces are decked out to the nines and you couldn't be happier. Everything feels cozier, brighter and a little bit magical. Christmas tree sellers bring out their bounty a few days earlier each year, and you get to enjoy the majesty of that lovely evergreen for soooo long. Just remember to water it!
Con: You don't really want to pull out your decorations yet, but you sort of feel like you should just because so many other people are and you don't want to feel like a Grinch. By December 10, you feel like you're suffocating from all the glitter and greenery. By Christmas Eve, your tree is already dead and you're afraid to light a candle to close to it in fear of it going up in flames.
The Shopping Deals
Pro: You no longer feel confined to getting the best deals in the chaotic storm that is Black Friday. Your Christmas shopping is done by Thanksgiving and you now bask in a glorious feeling of shopping success the whole season long.
Con: Black Friday used to give you a total thrill. You love waiting last minute to buy gifts on Christmas Eve and watching other last minute shoppers totally freak out. Now, you feel like you're being lazy if you haven't made your first purchase at least 40 days before Christmas Eve.
Movies and Specials
Pro: Specials starting so early mean there will be repeats, which means you won't have to worry about making sure you record one you don't want to miss. You can laugh and cry as your favorite stories old and new hit on all the feels the season brings.
Con: Anything is better than those weird dancing kids on Peanuts specials and creepy claymation dolls. Can we please bring back regular programming for at least November?
That Special Christmas Feeling
Pro: All these other things are fantastic, but it's what they stand for that matters the most – the true feeling of Christmas and the fact that it makes us all a little kinder, more joyful, more loving and more appreciative of those around us.
Con: Even you people against an early start can't dispute that you don't love what Christmas does for our spirits and hearts.
Yes, we tend to be ahead of the calendar when it comes to starting the Christmas season, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. If you enjoy the season, feel no shame in starting the celebration early. If you wish everyone would hold off until after Thanksgiving, that's fair too. Just try to block out what might annoy you and instead focus on feeling the joy that it brings. To everyone, just don't forget about Tom entirely. Thanksgiving is pretty fantastic in its own right, and we should all be excited about the pilgrims and remember what we're thankful for. And if what you're thankful for just happens to be Christmas and all its glory, then feel no shame in celebrating early.

Well, we're in. If there is one thing I have learnt over the past couple of months it is that the finishing jobs take longer than you think, and while I've enjoyed saving some much-needed money by doing a lot of the finishing work myself (with help from our parents), it has slowed things down a little. I am distinctly envious of those package self-builders who move into homes with doors already fitted!
My beloved late uncle was a professional decorator, and it's clear that I haven't inherited many of his skills. I took the view that we would really want to decide on the final decoration and wall colours in good time, without making rushed decisions, and so decided to give every bare wall (and some already-coloured ones) a coverage of good old 'Brilliant White'.
It's amazingly cheap, can be watered down to form a mist coat (to soak into the plaster a bit and give a nice base for the emulsion) and is surprisingly neutral. We paid around £35 for three big plastic buckets and at that price, felt sufficiently liberated to throw it around a bit.
Let me give you some advice if you intend to do this yourself — particularly if, like me, you like modern house design and decide to build a 6m tower as an entrance hallway. I am generally OK with heights but even with a massively extended roller pole (3m!) and balancing on a 2m-high ladder, I struggled a bit with the ceiling. With the ladder at full extension, I had a funny turn when painting one of the corners. With that in mind, we're going to leave the hallway Brilliant White permanently.
With our weekends and evenings taken up with getting the walls done, we were thrown into a bit of a panic when the tiler that we had lined up phoned in with a double hernia. Luckily Ben, our erstwhile and kind builder, had a bit of time in his schedule as his next job began to move into action and as a result he polished off his trowel, bought in the levelling spacers and set to it.
Tiling 100m2 of flooring is not the kind of task you would take on willingly but, with carpenter Joe helping out, they managed to get almost all of it done, and level. I then did the remaining 20m2 or so — something I would be happy not to have to do again.
With the tiles beginning to help in terms of dust control, we felt it was about time to move everyone back in. Carpets were in, the heating was on and most of the toilets were working. The kitchen was in and we had lighting — it was undeniably a working home again.
Our New Year plan is to begin to work through the new rooms, one at a time, working out the furniture plans and colours and so on — and take our time. I feel like the project has taken up the past four years of our lives, and while I don't want to lose momentum, I'm happy to spend a few evenings in front of the woodburning stove watching telly again.
Every day in the house brings a happy surprise — a view through the rooms that we'd planned but hadn't imagined would come true. Having worked on magazines for years I'm quite a visual person and that feeling of living in a house that had plenty of those uplifting little views gives you something that ordinary homes can't. It's just one of the reasons that people like me, and you, put ourselves through all this.

Seattle Washington
At 7:00 a.m. we left the shadow of the Golden
Gate Bridge behind with two shells and six oars atop the van fully loaded with four
people, and one Guide Dog. We arrived in Los Angeles in the peak of traffic with a boat
which extended five feet beyond the car in front and back, trying not to impale the cars
ahead. At the California Yacht Club , sponsor of the race, all the rowers, escorts, and
organizers met to plan and discuss the upcoming events. Rowers met with their escorts to
discuss schedules and the logistics of transporting their shells. The highlight of the
evening was meeting Charles Hathaway, the originator of the race, who twenty-three years
ago, for his fiftieth birthday, he made the crossing in a low-tech rowboat in seventeen
Saturday morning we loaded our double along with another onto
the Sly Lady, a 46-foot sailboat owned by Tom Head. At 11:00 am I gave Deanne, my
Guide Dog, a female German Shepherd, a big hug and handed her over to my mother who would
dog-sit her for the next twenty-four hours. It took four long hours to motor to Catalina
Island. The reality of how far I would be rowing suddenly hit me and my anxiety grew as
the boat bounced over the swells. As we anchored in Catalinas Fourth of July Harbor,
I could hear the sounds of the water breaking against the shore and reflecting off the
sheer walls of the island.
The pre-race meeting began at 6:00 p.m. and covered compass
headings, start times and details of the start. We all nervously ate the high carbohydrate
dinner and returned to our boats to try to get an early nights sleep. We met the
owners of our escort boat, the Melee, where Perry and I would sleep the few hours
until race time. Our gracious hosts, Bob, Beya, and Julie Shaffer, and Blazer, the family
dog, helped us feel at home and Blazer had to endure my constant attention because I
missed Deanne. I followed Perrys suggestion and wore my rowing clothes to bed so I
wouldnt have to change in the morning and quickly fell asleep with the sway of the
At 12:30 a.m. I awoke to the sound of howling winds and the rough
rocking of the boat. I couldnt imagine rowing in conditions like this - there must
be whitecaps! How could I get from the sailboat down to the rowing shell? Will they call
off the race? I listened to my book-on-tape and hoped I would fall back to sleep. I awoke
again to the sound of Perry crinkling the wrapper of a Power Bar at 3:15. It was time wake
up and do this thing.
Thankfully, the winds had completely died down and the water was
calm. With some help I lowered myself down into the dinghy and we motored over to the Sly
Lady where our double was being lowered into the water. The oars were quickly put into
the oarlocks to stabilize the boat. Then I shifted my body on to the sliding seat in the
stern position and Perry followed into the bow. We donned gloves, and began securing
bottles of Cytomax (an electrolyte replacement drink), cell phone, walkie-talkies, flares,
and a flashlight in the boat. I could hear voices coming from around the harbor as other
rowers and escorts were preparing for the start of the race. Chemical lights, activated by
snapping and shaking, were taped to the riggers - red for the port side and green for
starboard - as well as to the bow and stern.
It was dark and the air was cool with a smell of grasses and brush
coming off the island. We slowly made our way toward the race committee boat, a 75-foot
yacht that Perry described longingly, picturing herself as she thought she would rather
be, sitting on board sipping a cup of coffee.
The Melee, our escort boat, was assigned to follow both Carey
in his single shell and Perry and me in the double. Typically an escort boat would only
responsible for one rowing boat or team, but there simply werent enough escorts to
go around. It was decided that our two boats would row at similar speeds so one escort
could stay with us both. When our turn finally arrived to come to the start Carey and
Perry and I lined up our two boats with Melee directly off our stern. We removed
the long-sleeved shirts we wore to block the chill of the morning and got our oars ready
at the catch. From the starters boat off our port I heard 10, 9, 8
and suddenly all the nervous energy of anticipation was translated into the first
explosive stroke of the race.
Only 30 minutes later we were rowing with no one within sight or
sound. After an hour we stopped long enough to drink a half bottle of Cytomax and try to
raise Melee on the cell phone several times without success. The sun began to rise
and we remained alone with the exception of the occasional seagull. The seas were calm
with only the rise and fall of ocean swells. We were both quiet, rowing in unison, keeping
to the compass heading of 175 degrees.
For the next few hours we made occasional thirty-second stops to
drink and then resumed rowing. As I began to tire and feel the pain from the sliding seat,
blisters under my gloves, and other aches, Perry would announce, "break time in two
minutes." Within moments of drinking, the aches and pains would fade into the
background again. I entertained myself by thinking of puzzles to solve, projects for work,
and many times just clearing my mind and experiencing the smells, sounds, and feel of the
The oars became extensions of my fingers, and my feet, which were
attached to the boat by stirrups, were fluid with the movement of the boat. The speed,
strength, and stamina that Perry and I had cultivated over the past year were paying off
as we moved across the water. 7:00 a.m., 7:30, 8 oclock.
At 8:30 we tried to make contact with our escort again. Ring, ring,
...Hello. It was Beya on Melee. Evidently they had not had their walkie
talkie and cell phone on when we first tried. Now that we could hear another voice I
realized how isolated I was feeling. If communication was possible then I knew we could
eventually make it to shore.
"We got separated," Perry explained. "We tried to
catch up with another escort, but we soon realized we were alone."
"When we didnt hear from you," Beya replied,
"we assumed that you had hooked up with another escort boat that was moving at a
faster pace."
"Well, its OK now," said Perry. "We will check
back with you when we get closer to shore."
It was surreal to hear her voice after hours of silence in the
rolling seas. Perry and I both felt relieved with the contact and it lifted our spirits. I
heard a noise to starboard.
"Dolphins, fifteen to twenty of them, are passing on their way
to Catalina," Perry exclaimed.
As they leaped out of the water I could hear them blow puffs of air
as they went by and could picture their streamlined bodies moving through the water. Later
several whales surfaced off the stern of the boat. One advantage of having lost our escort
was experiencing the wildlife and the ambient sounds free of engine noise and smells.
I continued to experience the perfect rhythm of exhaustion and pain
right on the half hour, just in time to be relieved by a brief break and a drink, followed
by the rejuvenation I felt within minutes of the break.
At 10:30 I knew we should be getting closer to the coast but the
visibility was still minimal and we began to wonder about finding the breakwater and the
entrance to Marina Del Rey.
"I see the coast," cried Perry, but nothing looked
familiar. "I cant see the breakwater. Im not really sure what I am
looking for."
In the ten years she had participated in this race she never had to
navigate, always rowing in the company of an escort boat. Were we too far north or south?
It was time to call in again. After many calls and readings from the GPS, we determined
that we had overshot our mark and were too far north. We asked for an escort to come out
and meet us to guide us into the marina.
As we neared the southern entrance to Marina del Rey the water was
very rough. I could smell the stench of pelican poop that was a noted landmark of the
breakwater. My hands were incredibly tender and every little movement magnified the pain.
It took a lot of extra energy to maintain the balance of the boat.
Suddenly the water smoothed out as we entered the marina. Our
excitement grew knowing the end of the race was near, hearing familiar voices, and
realizing we were only two miles from the finish line.
"This is where we put on the power," declared Perry,
"and put out whatever we have left."
I picked up the pace and the thought of the end inspired a burst of
energy I didnt know I had. As I pulled and strained I thought Will anyone be
there? I am sure the race has been over for a long time, and everyone is probably in the
showers. What will it feel like to stand up again? I began to wonder how I was going
to get out of the boat at the end of the race, how Deanne, my Guide Dog, would react and
who else would be there to see us over the finish line. My hands were screaming with every
catch, all my muscles burned and I had to keep my mouth open to get enough air. The last
two miles seemed like ten.
Our escort hollered to the sailboats crisscrossing the marina,
"Get out of the way. These women just rowed 32 miles from Catalina." I felt very
proud as I heard them make this announcement repeatedly. They knew we had rowed extra
miles and had done the race without the help of an escort, and they didnt want us to
go out of our way during the final stretch.
When Perry announced, "I can see the finish", tears
welled up in my eyes as I heard the cheers coming from the dock. The horn blew, indicating
the end, and we both stopped rowing slowly gliding to a stop - six hours and thirty-seven
minutes we had started. Barely able to lift my weight and stand, I hugged Deanne.
The postmortem row would last for the next two days, dissecting the
details of the race, how we got separated from the escort, and how we navigated the
crossing alone.
At one point during the morning when the lonely ocean seemed to
stretch forever and our pain and uncertainty seemed overpowering, Perry had announced she
would never do this race again. On the drive home, about midway between Los Angeles and
San Francisco, she began to talk about if she did the race again. As we arrived
home, still exhausted, but exhilarated by our achievement, we both knew this wasnt
the end.
We had to do it one more time.

I did not make my booth fee.
Very slow show. Crowds weren't there and the weather didn't help. The woman next to me sold ice dyed scarfs, shirts, etc and did well. My friend who sells jewelry made $170 over booth fee. Others I talked to said sales were slow.
Second year I did this show. Last year it was 100 degrees and I made my booth fee, however the booth fee was only $115 because they cut it in half.
Views: 292
Seems like a horrible show name to me. A rebrand could help a little. Might get a few more people to show up.
Yeah I personally would not do a show where they emphasize how cheap it is. But maybe it depends on what type of work you do.
This isn't really a starving artists show. Amy puts no restrictions on the top price and anyone can discount whatever they want. In contrast--Mt. Mary Starving Artists show in Milwaukee. Nothing over $100, nothing. People start lining up to get in at 5am and gates open at 10. If you see something you like, you better buy it cuz it probably won't be there when you go back. Yes, there is a $10 admission fee but it is for the college and it is well worth it. Food prices are reasonable and there is tons of parking. It is a frenetic atmosphere but everyone is in a good mood because you know you are getting great deals. I am just waiting for the Sunday that the Packers play at noon so the crowd will thin out a little and you can get into the booths. It is Wisconsin, after all!
Thanks Geri!

Deemed 'too big to fall', Citi has accepted an injection of $20bn in new capital from the US Treasury in return for preferred shares, as well as a guarantee from the US Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp for up to $306bn of risky securities and loans on its books.
It's hoped that the radical action, which comes close to nationalising the ailing bank, will bring a confidence boost to Citi, whose share price dropped from $9.36 on Monday to $3.77 by the end of Friday. As one of the US's biggest banks, the official line was that Citi simply could not be allowed to topple, but unlike the bail-out of insurer AIG in September, there won't be a purge of executives.
The rescue plan comes at a price but CEO Vikram Pandit gets to keep his job. Brought in to turn around the bank in January, he spent this year watching Citi's worth plummet as it suffered losses from risky mortgages, commercial property, leveraged loans and collateralised debt obligations.
How the mighty have fallen: two years ago, the bank was worth a staggering $270bn; on Friday it was valued at $20.5bn. 75,000 jobs are to be lost from the bank as it attempts to slim down to get through what will be a very difficult few years. Although Pandit and other executives remain at the helm, the US government will get a say in compensation matters (who could have predicted that this time last year?).
The US government's radical action is being projected as a blueprint for other future bank bailouts - if they are needed - so terms have been kept general. The official message is about promoting financial stability, not punishing executives for having failed, but many pundits are finding the lenient terms of the deal difficult to swallow.
Without the bail-out, however, the risk of the bank's collapse would have been too scary a prospect to consider. We'll have to wait to see whether Citi's rescue plan will deliver the boost in confidence that the NYSE so badly needs, but what's certain is that there will be many - including Pandit - who sighed with relief when the 11th hour deal was brokered.

Plain Truth
In your interest.

Clear Analysis
No beating about the bush.
The insurer might be building its brand, but what about the results on the ground?
So, investment companies are busy using all sorts of tools to get you to loosen your purse strings. Fear, humour, tears, you name it. Max New York Life has decided to go 'idiotic' in its new campaign. They've done the fashionable thing these days: copy the '3 Idiots' formula for its 'igenius' programme.
Here's the deal: 'igenius' will look after children whose interests lie in offbeat professions. Careers that desi parents usually frown upon. Painting, of course, tops that chart. Not just that. Max New York Life shall also play the role of a Good Samaritan in the parent-child relationship. They will be an 'agony aunt' and not just a business partner. Quite obviously, the idea is to get bonded with the investor. With the hope that these agony aunty efforts will result in generating long-term goodwill.
Reportedly, the programme involves scholarships for the kids. And also arranging for events/activities like sports. And 'igenius parenting' to keep the dialogue going with harried parents through help-lines and other media.
In keeping with this spirit, Max New York Life has launched its 'Shiksha Plus' child plan with three commercials. Which basically, as you can imagine, involve stories of worried parents wanting their kids to pursue the usual careers, while the child's interests lie elsewhere (the '3 Idiots' saga). One features a drawing room situation where the parents argue over the routine career options for their kid, who, while looking disappointed, announces that painting is what gets him going. (What's with painting being always used as a losers' profession? Qatari citizen MF Husain would be saddened). Well, the commercials are pretty routine and boring (not in sync with offbeat careers). So not much to speak of there.
However, the idea of building relationships with parents is an interesting one. If Max New York Life can pull it off, it will have pushed the investment marketing envelope a bit further. Long-term associations such as these are what marketers dream of in these competitive times. Plus, who knows, in the process the corporate may even help further a child's career, so all is apparently well.
But here's the big concern: How will Max New York Life make this programme work with parents from across the nation, across various socio-economic strata? Seems impossible to execute, as it would turn out to be a logistically nightmarish exercise, not to mention the costs that it would suck up. Which means the programme will most likely reduce itself to serving only a few thousand urban households, and not much else. In short, a cosmetic exercise, which would perhaps build the brand itself, but show poor results on the ground.
I suppose once the '3 Idiots' hysteria dies down, and another new happening flick comes along, igenius will find another brand building tool. Karo zyaada promises ka iraada.
Shipping and logistics company Shreyas Shipping and Logistics Ltd also provides land transportation, warehousing and other value-added services. Vinay Kshirsagar, chief financial officer of Shreyas Shipping speaks with Moneylife's Amritha Pillay about the trends in shipping, logistics and warehousing
Amritha Pillay (ML): How do you expect the container segment to perform in the short term?
Vinay Kshirsagar (VK): There is a slight improvement in container traffic in India, but globally the container segment is in fact having excess capacity. Even today, more than 500 vessels, which constitute about 13% of the global available tonnage, are laid up. Globally, the supply is more because the US market has not yet picked up. Overall, the container market will take some time to stabilise. India has witnessed a growth in volumes but that does not confirm a reversal in the trend. However, I can conclude that the decline in volumes has bottomed out. The container segment will take the next six to twelve months to stabilise. What is important for the industry is to arrive at equilibrium between demand and supply.
ML: Recently, freight rates in the container segment have gone up. Is this hike related to volume growth?
VK: Mainline operators have increased their freight rates substantially, although the volumes have not increased significantly. This confirms a good trend. The idea is to improve earnings for the operators with the increase in freight rates.
ML: What about the performance of other segments like tankers and dry bulk?
VK: The bulk segment is doing better. The tanker segment continues to be under pressure. This segment is very difficult to predict. India would be importing lesser crude in the coming years, because of a number of refineries that are coming up in the country. Such factors are important in determining the volumes for the tanker segment. The container segment caters to the high-end goods segment. During times like recession, the container segment becomes the least priority item, so that is the reason why this sector is much affected. However, the bulk segment caters to essential goods and it is not affected majorly.
ML: On a whole, what is your view on the shipping industry at present?
VK: Unless international trade comes back to normal, the industry may not do well. On a short term outlook, it is a good opportunity because ship assets are available at good prices. Shipping companies need to go ahead and buy aggressively.
ML: What kind of domestic trade volumes do you expect?
VK: Domestic volumes have increased substantially. Around one or one-and-a-half years back, 50,000 tonnes of cargo were moved every month on the Indian coast, today around 1,20,000 tonnes of cargo are moved on the coast. Even though more players have entered this segment, the size of the market has also increased. The volume movement in this segment is insignificant when compared to road or rail transport. However, I am quite confident and optimistic that cargo movement has to be diverted to costal shipping, given the huge expansion planned in the power sector and the steel sector that requires huge amount of raw material to be moved. At present, road and railways as transportation options are choked up. They cannot take an additional burden.
ML: How much do costal trade volumes depend on mainline operations?
VK: As far as Shreyas Shipping is concerned, we operate feeder, domestic and regional services. We are dependent on mainline operators only for feeder services. Since we have moved into the logistics model, it has helped us to be in a better position compared to any other feeder operator.
ML: Do you expect the expansion in the power & steel segment to drive volumes for costal shipping?
VK: In fact, whichever sector is expanding and needs movement of its raw material will have to explore costal shipping as an option. Also, with the development of small ports and new ports, more volumes can be expected.
ML: Along with feeder and domestic services, you also operate regional services. You recently restarted your Indo-Pak service, what are the updates on your other two regional services, which were also suspended?
VK: We had suspended our regional services to Karachi, Jebel Ali and Singapore due to low trade volumes during the recession. However, we have started the India-Karachi route in November 2009 and plan to start the remaining two regional services as trade volumes increase. {break}
ML: How do you expect asset prices to perform in the coming months? Have they bottomed out or will they fall further?
VK: They have bottomed out and will not fall any further. They should stabilise at the current prices for the next four to eight months. Then, there is a possibility of asset prices shooting up.
ML: Shreyas Shipping has already sold four vessels, do you see some new buying to increase your fleet?
VK: We sold these four ships just before the global meltdown, made a profit on sale and retired our debts. Now, we see it is the right opportunity to buy, as almost all classes of vessels are available. We are evaluating our options for acquisition of new vessels.
ML: Along with shipping, the company also has presence in the warehousing segment. Is there any expansion planned in this segment?
VK: We currently have warehousing facilities, but we do not own them. On expansion, we are working out a plan to enter other spaces, which will help value addition like packing and distribution.
ML: What are your expectations in the warehousing segment in the coming years?
VK: I expect the volumes for the warehousing segment to grow. There is enough warehousing capacity available and the current utilisation of these spaces is very low. Thus, no added capital expenditure should be required for this space. I expect the volumes to grow; as the space is already available, the utilisation rates for the same will go up.
ML: Which would be the main sub-segments that will contribute to the growth of the warehousing segment?
VK: Agriculture products are likely to drive the volumes for the warehousing segment. With more supermarket models coming up for agri-products, the demand for cold-storage facilities will also increase. The required cold-storage facilities for such products are not available, which presently leads to an imbalance in the prices.
ML: What about your presence in third-party logistics?
VK: We plan to enter the third-party logistics segment. The logistics industry is a sunrise industry. There is an immense growth potential in this segment for the simple reason that this is the only industry where people don't require much capital expenditure, which leads to high returns on capital. Investors prefer such segments and thus logistics companies command a decent private equity. In the past year, private investment in this segment has been good and I expect the investment in this sector to improve substantially by another 100% to 200%.
ML: You are also present in the land-transportation business, wherein you extend road transportation services to your clients. You also plan to expand in this space in due course, what is your view about the road freight segment?
VK: With the increase in the movement of raw material for various industries, the volumes for road freight are bound to move upwards. There is also a possibility of a number of new organised players entering this space.
ML: Where would the group's thrust be in the coming years, given your presence in so many sub-sectors?
VK: We plan to look at the bulk logistics segment. We plan to have more value-added services like warehousing and transportation. The concentration on the bulk segment is mainly because of it being more assuring than the container segment.
ML: What kind of financial performance can be expected from the company in this fiscal?
VK: As we have sold ships, we cannot expect any growth in turnover. Our logistics company, which is our 100% subsidiary, has made a total turnaround. As far as our shipping segment is concerned, I will achieve cash breakeven. In these tough times, I think even this is commendable.
A spate of recent suicides among students and the ongoing worry about this mind-numbing phenomenon is a cause of national concern. Over 100,000 Indians commit suicide every year, and the number has only risen over the past two decades, say experts. Worse, over 71% of suicides are by people below the age of 44. While suicides are attributed to acute mental agony, the trauma on those who are left behind is not less. Savita Narayan profiles a Pune-based NGO called Connecting… which helps people cope with the effect of suicide on the survivors
"We had forgotten to smile. The joy had gone out of our lives," says Arnavaz Damania, a survivor affected by the suicide of a relative. The impact of the event made her realise the need for counselling not just for a survivor but also the larger circle of family and friends. "We felt lost and were just going from day to day, automatically doing our chores. I've always been a positive person and so I began to look for ways to improve the situation. I had to help even if it was the one family," says Ms. Damania.
She surfed the Internet, seeking people or institutions to approach. AFSP, the American Federation of Suicide Prevention, put her in touch with Dr Aruna Jha in Chicago who runs the Asian-American Suicide Prevention Initiative. Dr Jha conducted a seminar in Pune on awareness creation which led to the forming of a group.
India, China and Japan account for 30% of worldwide suicides according to the World Health Organisation—and the numbers are increasing yearly. Indian society has changed dramatically over the past decade. Increased pressure for good performance at students' exams, maintaining peak results at the workplace, loosening of family ties and lack of good interpersonal relationships are some reasons.
In 2005, Ms Damania set up Connecting... at Pune, with trained volunteers to offer counselling, suicide prevention and facilitation programmes to create awareness of coping strategies and healthy outlets for intense emotions such as anger and frustration. The entity also interacts with survivors and counsels families of suicide victims to manage the trauma.
A suicide attempt is the reaction of a person unable to cope with unbearable psychological pain. Before reaching this juncture, the person usually explores ways to make the pain more bearable but does not find a solution on his own. He lacks both inner resources to cope as well as a perspective on how to approach the problematic issue. Often, he undergoes long periods of suffering in isolation before giving indirect indications to near and dear that he's reached the end of his tether. Connecting... is a neutral point of contact for the suicidal; the help lines offer empathy that is usually unavailable to him. The initial contact is from the suicidal caller or a sympathetic well-wisher. Treatment is possible only when the initiative comes from him. Connecting... offers trained and skilful counselling, ensuring that the person, at the first instance, is calmed and that the immediate crisis of peak vulnerability is deflected. In subsequent contact sessions, through empathy and positive reinforcement, the caller realises on his own accord that life is worth living and that workable solutions to his problems can be found.
Support for survivors is also essential to prevent the recurrence of an attempt. Survivors usually harbour feelings of guilt. The stigma of societal judgement makes them opt for empathetic counselling on a one-on-one basis. Group sessions are useful for victims' families encouraging the sharing of experiences, of healing together to start the grieving process. The discussion is led by the facilitator.
Workshops are conducted for the police and hospital workers to modify their approach and improve interactions with victims, the affected families and survivors. Connecting... is actively engaged in sensitising the general public towards stress and interpersonal relationships. These programmes take place in schools, housing societies, corporate offices—any group of people who want healthier interactions in their daily lives. The sessions are very impactful and tailor-made, taking the form of role-playing and demonstrations. Music and Art therapy is also offered.
Connecting... has the immediate need to expand its existing helpline facility from 6 hours to 24 hours with more phone lines, trained counsellors and media exposure; setting up a media watchdog to monitor and ensure empathetic and factual reporting of suicides; the setting up of emergency cells in hospitals which sensitively handle incoming cases, the subsequent legal aspects and documentation.
Connecting... helps the suicidal and their families in and around Pune. There are still hundreds of others in India who need their reassuring touch.

- Variety: Blauer Portugieser
- Key Features Unoaked, Vegan (certified), Vegetarian and Vegan,
- The Wine
Our new reference Blauer Portugieser comes from long time favourite Christian Fischer. When Philip Zull stopped making Blauer Portugieser, I set out on a quest to find a good replacement and visited dozens and dozens of winemakers both at the VieVinum and ProWein fair. In the end, the standout wine turned out to be our very own Christian Fischer. Blauer Portugieser is a very deep dark coloured light and smooth red, usually used in a blend to add colour and density to blends. It tends to be neglected as a variety, often not given much effort or thought and considered a "filler" wine. Not so with Christian Fisher, who puts as much effort in his Blauer Portugieser as he does in all his classic reds. This is a smooth easy drinking and refreshing red with notes of red cherry and hints of walnut. Deliciously juicy.
Blauer Portugieser Classic (2012)0.75
tasting notes:
Ruby red with violet highlights, fresh bouquet with delicate toasty aromas, youthful firm taste with pure berry flavours. Vibrant and refreshing fruit, nicely balanced. Plenty of drinking pleasure!
