A Google spokesperson declined today to confirm or deny a report from The Intercept that an internal struggle between Google's privacy team and executives managing its Dragonfly China search engine project has led to an effective shutdown of the effort.
The search engine had to be different from what Google offers in other countries like the United States and across Europe, due to the People's Republic of China's censorship laws - which is why Google is not in China right now.
Google employees working on the project used data from 265.com, a Chinese-language web directory service widely considered China's most-used homepage. Eventually, the search queries were transferred to Baidu, the leading search engine in China.
In this case, the privacy team was reportedly left out of the process, and didn't learn about Project Dragonfly until the public did, in August. It would also have linked users' searches to personal phone numbers. That was not the case with 265.com queries. In November, more than 200 Google employees issued an open letter to the company demanding it halt the project. Members of the privacy team confronted the executives responsible for managing Dragonfly.
However, it seems like there is heavy opposition within Google towards the Chinese project. Internally, it is said, the project "Dragonfly" (dragonfly) was as good as buried. Typically, projects are pretty secretive, as to prevent leaks from happening, but Dragonfly was on another level.
"Significantly, several groups of engineers have now been moved off of Dragonfly completely, and told to shift their attention away from China to instead work on projects related to India, Indonesia, Russia, the Middle East and Brazil", the report claimed. Sergey Brin, who was at the helm of Google when the company shut down its China operation in 2010 as a protest, spent his childhood in the former Soviet Union, therefore had first-hand understanding of what censorship is about.
Google was using a website called "265.com" in Beijing to help build its censored search engine.
He said: 'Right now there are no plans for us to launch a search product in China.
Australia vs India - Highlights & Stats
Both captains played down the onfield sledging with Kohli saying, 'As long as there's no swearing and personal attack it is fine. Australia bounced back in style in the four-match series against India to win the second Test in Perth by 146 runs .
This is a significant blow to Pichai.
Even with this news today, I don't think Google's ambitions in China are over - just stalled.
Although the Google Play store is banned in China, plenty of Google apps are available on iOS and Chinese Android app stores.
Criticisms from within the company forced the decision, "effectively ending" the development of the censored search engine known as Dragonfly. But it appears that won't be happening. But right now there are no plans to launch in China.
Google Translate officially returned to China past year, and remains one of the most popular iOS translation apps in the country, according to data from App Annie. "It's hard to imagine you could operate in the Chinese market under the current government framework and maintain a commitment to universal values, such as freedom of expression and personal privacy". Google's motto has always been "don't be evil" and creating a censored search engine would be Google siding with the censorship laws in China, and "being evil", at least according to some.
Records show that 265.com is still hosted on Google servers, but its physical address is listed under the name of the "Beijing Guxiang Information and Technology Co.", which has an office space on the third floor of a tower building in northwest Beijing's Haidian district.
The move comes after Google representatives raised protestations that venture had been kept mystery from them.
After a series of backlash, Google has ceased its censored search engine project named Dragonfly. This team was kept in the dark about what the developer team was doing, and only found out after the media reported on it.

Local Area Network (LAN) Protection problems. Discussion and suggestions.
LAN Protection Problems
The IS-50BB/18 is a coaxial cable protector designed to conduct energy between center conductor and the protector' s metal housing when a voltage differential of greater than +/- 18 Volts occurs. Lightning energy is directed through the protector to earth, rather than going through the connected circuitry on its way to earth.
This "shunting" action saves the equipment from damage.
The IGA 90V (in this application) is attached to the metal housing of the IS-50BB/18 and isolates the protector' s metal housing (to a 90 Volt differential) from the conductive surface to which it is mounted (earth ground). The purpose of this configuration is to isolate earth ground from the coaxial cable shield to eliminate ground loops
during normal operation.
When a lightning event occurs, The voltage on the coax center conductor and shield quickly elevate in potential creating a voltage drop across the equipment with current flow through the equipment causing damage. When protected by the above products, the center conductor to shield differential will not exceed 18 Volts peak and
the shield to local ground attachment will not exceed 90 Volts peak.
"Can resistance readings (> 315 kOhms) be of use to ascertain the functionality of a coax protector?"
The only true test would be with a low current high potential tester to determine protector turn on. The resistance measured above is typical for the IS-50BB/IGA90V combination, before gas tube turn on.
"What are your recommendations on the grounding of protectors? Our problem was to decide which end to be grounded (as one end is to be isolated) or to ground both?" Due to the long distance of the coax, does it make sense to isolate one end?
How the protectors are grounded is the most critical aspect of a lightning protection system. The protector assembly (IS-50BB/18 & IGA90V) must be connected to a large surface area, low inductance conductor, connected below earth, to a fast transient response, low impedance (at lightning frequencies) ground system.
Shield continuity can be continued through to the equipment port since the IGA-90V will turn on and direct shield energy to earth before large currents can reach the equipment. Isolating (parting) the shield at one or both ends could create a problem with signal returns unless some way were provide to bridge the signal across
the open shield connection.
During a lightning event, large fast rise time currents are directed toward earth. Any conductor in series with this path will develop an E= Ldi/dt voltage drop across its length. From the formula, the actual voltage drop across the conductor is a function of the conductor' s inductance, the stroke peak current, and the stroke current rise
time to 90% of peak value. (See PTD1011.)
"Each of the buildings have Air Terminations. The grounding panel of the IS-50BB is bonded to the down conductor of the Air Terminal. So does the electrical earth." What are your recommendations on the grounding of units to lightning rod ground conductors?
It is OK to connect to the building' s structural lightning protection system only if all protected equipment is located on the roof.
If the equipment is on any lower floor, do not bond the protector grounds to the Air Terminal down conductors! Route separate low inductance conductors from the protectors directly to earth ground.
The Air Terminals send up an upward going streamer in the presence of a downward moving step leader. When they connect, a path for the main lightning stroke is established. The Air Terminals are designed to attract a lightning stroke to themselves rather than the building structure. This reduces damage to the building structure,
but concentrates the stroke current on the Air Terminal' s down conductor. The fast rise time, high current pulse creates a distributed voltage drop across the length of the down conductor. This instantaneous peak voltage can be hundreds of KV!
If any other "ground" conductors were connected to the air terminal' s down conductor somewhere along its length, a high voltage differential between the local "floor potential" and air terminal down conductor distributed
potential could occur at that connection. This high peak voltage could exceed the "turn on" threshold of both protectors and switch energy back through the connected critical circuitry towards "floor potential" chassis
ground. This potential difference could cause current flow through the critical circuitry towards any other building ground connection. The circuitry would probably be destroyed in the process. The condition would be even worse if there were coax cables from roof mounted antennas coming down to the lower floor.
If there were separate protector ground conductors connected, through the building, to the earth ground system, damage could be avoided.
Twisted pair protector grounding methods are the same as coax protectors – with the same precautions. My personal preference would be to connect a jumper with a cut back, isolated shield on the protector side, from
the protector to equipment, at both ends of the run. Connect the jumper shield to the low impedance ground system if possible, not to the protector housing. Do this only if it is practical and doesn' t create ground loop problems.

Chevy returns with its flagship Malibu sedan this model year and serves up a sportier frame, upgraded tech, and a new transmission for its standard 160 horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. This sleek and sharp addition to the ninth-generation Malibu is sure to attract attention with its overall better fuel economy, which is 2 mpg higher than last year's model. Drivers will be able to choose from five trim levels: L, LS, LT, RS, and Premier with an available hybrid version as well. The first four trims have the base engine, while the high-end Premier gets a more robust turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 250 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.
Comfort and Convenience
The base L trim level is relatively bare-bones, but the LS trim adds a compass and exterior temperature display, plus sound-reducing windows. Moving up to the sportier RS supplies a leather-wrapped steering wheel as well as an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat complete with power lumbar support. On the LT trim, all of the standard features from the LS are bundled with the addition of remote start, heated mirrors, heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, rear-seat air vents, and rear-seat reading lamps. A Leather Package can also be incorporated to the LT, which adds leather upholstery and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. With the Premier, all of the LT's features come standard in addition to the Leather Package. Ventilated front seats, a driver's seat with memory settings, wireless charging pad, and heated outboard rear seats are bundled on top of everything else. Optional for the Premier is the Sun and Wheel Package, for a dual-pane power sunroof and wheel upgrades.
Safety Features
Active safety features are only available with the LT and Premier trims in the form of options packages. For example, the Driver Confidence Package includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors, while the Driver Confidence II Package adds automatic high beams, lane keeping assist, and forward collision alert. The Premier can include these as well, although it also has its own Driver Confidence III Package that provides an electronic parking brake, adaptive cruise control, active parking assist, and an automatic forward collision avoidance system.
Standard Technology & Hybrid Technology
The base L trim is lightly equipped, though it does have a new 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration in addition to a six-speaker audio system. With the LS and RS, drivers can enjoy 4G LTE connectivity as well as Wi-Fi. Next is the LT, which includes satellite radio in addition to the features standard on the RS. At the top of the line, the Premier gets the previous trim's technology as well as navigation and a nine-speaker Bose audio system.
This version of the Malibu has its own 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that is paired to an electric motor generating a combined 182 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. This hybrid edition also gets an EPA-estimated 43 mpg highway and 49 mpg city. Equipment-wise, the Hybrid is rather similar to the LT, although it adds an electronic parking brake and heated seats. What's more, the infotainment interface is unique in that the trip computer is replaced by an 8-inch color display, and a tire repair and inflation kit is included as standard.

Market Day, by Zoe
On Wednesday I went to the Market Day, It was the time I was at the market. Firts I went to the concert, it was really musical. Next I bought a few things. I bought an Orio milkshake and some cookies the food group made. My favourite bit was when I helped the Chemical Reactions group sell their bath bombs for two Kids Can cash. It was really fun. All the bath bombs sold out quickly. Luckily no-one turned out a different colour when they used the bath bombs. I had fun!!

Week 1 Term 3
Week 1 Term 3
Hi and welcome back to another term in Learning Common Two. This week we welcomed Louise, who is replacing Sharon in a teaching role in our common. We also welcomed Keira, a new student to Hobsonville Point Primary, we extend a welcome to her family. We also welcomed back Shay who was with us in Term 1, welcome back Shay, it is great to have you back.
We have started the term continuing our Immersion journey. The students have been enjoying exploring telling stories using different symbols in Aboriginal Art. We have followed this up with writing the story our painting tells.
In the middle of Australia a very hot armadillo was looking for some water. She looked and looked but couldn't find any thing only sand and more sand. She carried on looking for it. 2 weeks later it started to get hotter and hotter. Then she came to a big hole and in that hole there
was some water. She jumped inside and drunk some. Now the armadillo always knew where to get water.By Kate
As part of our Immersion Journey we have been learning about different types of rubbish and sorting and categorizing. We have also been thinking about what happens next to our recycling. This website has provided us with information and resources on this.
Louise has recently returned from a trip to India working in schools and training teachers over there. We have spent time looking at her images and responding to these and asking questions about their homes and schools. We look forward to where this might take us.
Our Immersion reading this week was around significant places and we have begun reading about The Seen Wonders of the World. This week our reading was about the Taj Mahal and the Colosseum. This has sparked real interest in the children, many of whom have begun their own research about these places.
We have been exploring our geometrical understanding through Tangram puzzles. These have been challenging for us and we have all spent some time in the learning pit. Some of us have really enjoyed the challenge these have offered and have moved to creating our own puzzles and shapes for our friends to solve.
Take a look at some photos from our student led workshops on Friday.
In week 2 we are looking forward to being able to being able to share our learning from last term with a wider audience at the Market Day at Hobsonville Point Secondary School on Wednesday. Come along and support us.
Louise and Kerry

All about yum cha at Parramatta Phoenix Chinese Restaurant
Do you know how many types of dumplings are there in Chinese cuisine? They vary in shapes and sizes as well as cooking methods.
Chinese dumplings can be classified by a number of different categories. For example, pure wheat flour dough versus rice flour dough or tapioca starch. In this article, we are going to describe some dumplings that we serve here at the best Chinese restaurant, Parramatta Phoenix.
Boiled dumplings are the most common dumplings with fillings such as vegetable and pork, wrapped with wheat-based skin. Steamed dumplings are more delicate than boiled ones, as the skin is thinner.
The fillings range from pork and chives, to shrimp, cabbage, or any number of vegetables. "Har Gow" means steamed prawn dumpling. The wheat starch skin with tapioca gives it extra stretchiness and translucency. "Haam Sui Gok" is deep fried dumplings made from glutinous rice dough.
The skin is a little sweet and its crispy, but the fillings inside are usually salted. Commonly fillings include pork, mushroom with little dried shrimps. XLB, "xiao long bao" – the all-time favourite! It's the type of steamed dumplings with gelatin-rich pork or crab and consists savoury broth inside the thin skin. "Sui Mai" is the open-topped steamed pork and/or shrimp dumplings that is often topped with fish roe or grated carrot.
"Wu Gok" is the fried taro dumplings. It is crispy on the outside, with taro fillings and pork fillings in the middle of the taro fillings. Are you feeling hungry now? It is yum cha time at Parramatta Phoenix!

Add this common transition play to your arsenal after 4-on-3 Fast Breaks to turn even more unsettled situations into exciting Goals on Game Day!
We see College and High School teams use this easy play against the most common Man-Down defense rotations all the time. Finding the open extra man in the middle is easy if you know what to look for!
Just like in Basketball, Pass and Shot Fakes are an essential skill that beginning players should learn and practice. Here are six ways you can teach your boys and girls to create more opportunities and score more goals!
Almost every team in the NCAA Tournament used this simple play multiple times in playoff games last weekend. We expect to see it again plenty of times this weekend. Use it with your youth and high school players to give your Attackmen a better "Match Up" to get free and score!
The "Roll Back" is a move every lacrosse player will use multiple times every game. Make sure all your players know this critical skill to get out of trouble and keep possession of the ball!
This is a simple Dodging play we've seen from some of the top NCAA teams already this season. Sweep Dodges are a great way to get your players into the middle of the field for great shooting positions!
We like this little play we've seen Virginia run a few times this season. It's simple enough you can do it with your youth and high school players.
This is a more modern Offense we've seen the last few years among college teams. You can use this play to get dodgers open going to the goal and confuse Slide Packages from the Defense!
We've seen this Man-Up Double Pick & Roll Play used by multiple teams in lots of Box Lacrosse tournaments this season. Try it with your youth and high school players!
This is another common "Strong Side" Rotation (what the other three guys on the floor should be doing opposite the Two-Man Game with the ball) that we see Canadian and NLL teams using all the time.

Alright, folks, we're less than a week away from the full release of Netflix's Daredevil season 2, which will see the titular, devil-suited hero going up against another man who sees himself as a kind of savior, namely Jon Bernthal's unforgiving The Punisher. As we saw in the recent, extended trailer for season 2, in which we get a much clearer sense of how The Punisher comes to Hell's Kitchen, the relationship between Matthew Murdock, played by Boardwalk Empire breakout Charlie Cox, and The Punisher is one that pivots on the definition of justice, whether criminals deserve to have a chance to explain themselves or not at all. The new poster for the series, which Netflix premiered earlier today, gives a full sense of how Daredevil's rivalry with The Punisher, as well as Elektra (Elodie Yung) and some low-tier criminals, will keep him bound up, both mentally and physically. We'll see just how bad this world gets for Murdock and Frank Castle when the Marvel series premieres on Netflix on March 18th.
Take a full look at the new poster for Daredevil right below:
Here's the official synopsis for Daredevil Season 2:
Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the superhero "Daredevil" in modern day Hell's Kitchen, New York City.
Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock/Daredevil) is joined by a stellar cast including Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/The Punisher), Elodie Yung (Elektra), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple), and Scott Glenn (Stick).
Marvel's Daredevil is Executive Produced by series Co-Showrunners Marco Ramirez (Sons Of Anarchy, Fear The Walking Dead) and Douglas Petrie (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story), along with Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Jessica Jones), who also serves as Marvel's Head of Television.

(RADIO.COM) – Make room on your desk, or your LEGO collection, for the latest must-have Beatles merch. The 'Yellow Submarine', along with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr are about to be LEGO-ized.
The 'Yellow Submarine' set is due in toy stores (and wherever else you can buy LEGOs) on November 1 and will run $60. The set consists of over 550 LEGO bricks including the 4 mini figures representing John, Paul, George and Ringo, as well as a Jeremy Hillary Boob figure (which they are simply calling "Jeremy" for fairly obvious reasons). In the animated 'Yellow Submarine' film, Jeremy lived in the Sea of Nothing and spoke mostly in rhyme, and is a self-described "eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too." Sadly, no Blue Meanies will be included in the set.
"As an amateur musician and songwriter, I have always been drawn to the music of The Beatles. The creation of the 'Yellow Submarine' model was really my way of showing my affection for The Beatles, as well as trying to pay a small tribute to The Beatles phenomenon. The 'Yellow Submarine' is bright, fun, and colourful, which also made it a good subject to translate into LEGO form."
Watch a promo video for the set below:
In June, LEGO fan Thomas W. submitted his Elvis Presley set to LEGO. His proposed kit includes an Elvis mini-fig in classic white outfit and big hair, with a full stage, including lighted sign, speakers and mic. And, the kit would also include a replica of the King's famous Pink Cadillac. Currently, the set has just 345 supporters of the 10,000 needed, although he does have more than 300 days left to achieve the goal.

Do not judge your friend until you reach his level. (Avot 2:5)
Judging others favorably applies not only to sinners, but even to our enemies who would harm us. In most cases, enmity between two people stems from petty jealousy. Either I am jealous of my friend, because he has more or has accomplished more than I have, or else he is envious of what I have or of what I have achieved. We are not equals in the area where the jealousy exists.
Rebbe Nachman tells us to endeavor to be with him in one place… Then there will surely be no opposition, for within uniformity no opposition is possible.
If we were, there would be be no reason for envy. Either I have to raise myself to his position or, if he is on a lower level than I am, I have to elevate him and make him my equal. How? Easily, I judge him favorably. Then, when there are no longer differences between us, there will be no room for jealousies and nothing to fight about. (Based on Likutei Moharan I: 136)

I was recently invited by host Dmitri Vietze to appear on his new podcast Music Tectonics for the episode "The Shifting LA Music Tech Scene." It was a fun discussion about the various ecosystems and hubs of innovation, creation and thought-leadership that is taking place in Los Angeles right now.
The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done. The podcast includes news roundups, interviews, and more.

Another Online Music Industry Entrepreneurship Course?
I've been considering developing a series of online courses around entrepreneurship and innovation within the music industry, including and expanding on what I've taught in music industry and marketing undergraduate programs at UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and Emerson College, in the music business graduate program at California State University, Northridge, in the business module of the advanced audio engineering program at SAE Institute Los Angeles, and in my workshops at USC Marshall School of Business, Los Angeles Recording School and College of the Canyons, but I'm starting to reconsider this.
I've seen dozens of online courses developed by so-called marketing, business, and entrepreneurship experts that promise to take your business from stagnant to 7 figures in just a few weeks. Often times these experts only verifiable accomplishments tend to be their ability to get others to sign-up for their online courses. Or, at best, they've had one lucky break and somehow parlayed that into a facade of serial success, from which real strategy and knowledge can be shared.
We've all heard the saying that "those who can't do teach." I do not agree with this ugly notion as a generalization, but I do believe that it is actually quite easy to take bits and pieces of advice, common sense, and lessons from others' case studies and weave these concepts into curriculum padded with superficial "proven strategies" and outdated yet widely adopted business modeling techniques, which the instructor has never put into practice himself, and charge naive entrepreneurs hundreds of dollars to access this material as a life-changing course.
And we wonder why there is such a high rate of failure amongst students who've completed these courses.
I enjoy teaching. And I am honored to have been acknowledged in Billboard "15 Top Music Business Schools of 2017" and have been reviewed highly among the students in the programs in which I currently teach.
But even more thrilling, I enjoy doing.
I enjoy transforming business ideas into investible businesses within the music industry; especially when those ideas create real value for its target customers — music creators, music industry professionals, and music fans. And I enjoy helping entrepreneurs do this for themselves.
I don't know if it makes sense for me to create a standalone online course.
I believe entrepreneurs who seek help seek mentorship and an open channel of communication. I provide this in the classroom where the ability to ask a question can unlock meaningful insight for an entrepreneur struggling with a decision or a challenge. Nuance matters. Nuance is what makes the difference between reading a lecture and experiencing a lecture. I also provide this through consulting and mentorship.
Over the last 7 years, I've had the pleasure of being a consultant, advisor, or mentor to nearly 50 founders of music, tech and digital media start-ups, including current clients Baserock (achieved over 300% Kickstarter launch goal), Weeshing (has earned over $10M in revenue), RoadNation (has helped indie artists raise tens of thousands of dollars to fund touring) and mydiveo (acquired for over $7.4M after my consultation to develop a go-to-market strategy and intellectual property compliance strategy).
I've provided mentorship and coaching through programs such as SXSW Music, Capitol360 gBeta MusicTech Accelerator, recommendations for founders to attend Project Music Nashville and Techstars Music Los Angeles, and will be continuing this work in 2019 at The Rattle Los Angeles and 2112 Chicago.
Over the last 2 years, I've contributed to the acquisition of or investment in 5 music tech startups including 3 companies that I founded.
I don't know if any of this work could have been achieved by uploading 10 course videos and some downloadable worksheets. If so, I highly doubt the success rate would be very high. I do believe there is some perfect balance and that is what I am setting out to achieve in 2019.
In the meantime, if you're an entrepreneur struggling to get your music industry businesss idea off the ground, reach out to me for a free consultation to see how me and my team can help.
[Podcast] Copyright Clearance Center Adds Recording Of "View From The Top: The Future Of Machine-To-Machine Rights Management" Panel Discussion From RightsTech Summit 2017 To Its Beyond The Book Podcast
Machine-to-machine communication is the ideal scenario if we want to enable on a global scale, with as little friction as possible and at a reasonable cost, the licensing of works and the payment of royalties to rightsholders. That at least is the stated premise for a recent discussion at the annual RightsTech Summit conference.
But how far have we come? How close are we to achieving a digitized business environment for rights and royalties that is as fully realized as we see today in media distribution and consumption? Until code entirely does away with contracts will human beings will continue to add a value that no machine ever can?
"I think all of this starts with a human being. No matter what technology we apply to these systems, if a person doesn't know how to interact or create the data that they need to disseminate, it's just not going to get there," said Michael Shanley of Music Reports. Technology evolves all the time, and I think we're getting to great places in technology. But education and information is, I think, paramount."
Panelists for the session moderated by CCC's Chris Kenneally included Dae Bogan co-founder & CEO of TuneRegistry, a music and rights metadata management platform; Benji Rogers, a British-born, New York-based entrepreneur, who co-founded the Dot Blockchain Music Project, an attempt to create a de-centralized global registry of music rights using blockchain technology; Michael S. Simon, President of Rumblefish, a world leader in music micro-licensing and YouTube monetization and also CEO of the Harry Fox Agency LLC, the nation's leading provider of rights management, licensing and royalty services for the music industry; and Michael Shanley, Vice President of IT Business Development at Music Reports, developers of proprietary databases and software applications that facilitate music rights administration.

This is the data set related to the paper of the same title. In this investigation a novel synergistic approach for the bioremediation of metal-contaminated water and bioenergy production was developed. Two microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina), and two macroalgae, Ulva lactuca and Sargassum muticum, were used as passive bioremediation agents for the metals Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II). The metals were added singularly and in combination. The metal contaminated biomass was then processed through hydrothermal liquefaction to yield four phases: a bio-crude oil, an aqueous phase, solid residue and gas.
Within this data set is the raw data for metal absorption and for the metal distribution in the various phases of the reaction

text: The Clinical Art Therapy Diploma Program for students who hold an MA is offered online, and in-person in Thailand and Japan. All courses are taught in English, with translators available in countries where English is not the primary language. Throughout the coursework, practicum and supervision, we explore a range of theoretical orientations that reflect the differing views of practicing art therapists. Students are encouraged to investigate the uses and potentials of different theories when working with a variety of client populations, their therapeutic goals, and the student's own preferred therapeutic style. Students are not expected to adhere to a particular theoretical model but, instead, are encouraged to become familiar with a variety of models. Practicum grounds students in their community of choice. It encourages the practice of techniques and facilitates their growing art therapist identity. A total of 21 units are required for graduation.

It's been quite a while since I updated my recovery status because I was so preoccupied with great things happening in my life but I would like to share that I have come a long way from the last time you saw me here….Let me show you a short clip of how improved my walking has become and after wards share some tips as well, on how I achieved it….
Since WordPress won't let me post the video here I'd uploaded it in youtube and you can see it by clicking this link, https://youtu.be/5S7Y5ffjT6A. I made it short so I do not bore you. This short clip clearly shows how much improvement I have in my walking. I can now walk outdoors without my cane though my ankle has not fully recovered its strength just yet.. I will discuss about that later on in another post about foot drop but for now let me tell you what I think has helped me so much to regain my leg, arm, and shoulder strength.
I am talking about this stationary bike from Amazon which I really consider a good buy. When I came to England I still couldn't walk without a cane on rough, uneven surfaces which made it difficult for me to walk outdoors even with my stick plus I was kind of getting flabbier. My therapist suggested that I lose weight for faster recovery so I decided to get this as I cannot do heavy exercises just yet and it is too cold to go for a walk out.Besides I had this portable stationary bike when I was in the Philippines which I also used back there but it had no caloric meter. I have to say that this really helped me in a great way especially that I spend a day burning 1000 calories, that is about 3 hours on it…. It is easy to use and you can do it while watching , surfing the internet, or just reading….I strongly recommend you to purchase a stationary bike.
For my fellow survivors in the Philippines you can purchase the portable stationary bike at Lazada for just about 600 to 700 pesos and that is cash on delivery. I am not sure if they deliver in Amazon there but you can try. If you are not keen to shop online, you can ask your therapist where you can get one.For those who might be interested you can click the picture below and it will open the Lazada page where you can place your order.
I was also fortunate enough that my husband, who is also a stroke survivor as well has purchased a TENS machine which I also found effective in stimulating the nerves and enabled my arm and shoulder to move better. You can order one from Amazon or E-bay. In our case my husband bought the Beurer EM 80 which I think is absolutely brilliant because there is an option for massage. I am not quite sure if you have any idea about TENS yet but I will get into more details about it on another post later on. This is an image I grabbed online.
For my fellow survivors in the Philippines you can also find similar machine in Lazada.
Disclaimer: I am not in anyway connected to any of this companies who sell these machines and I am just sharing my experience with their satisfactory products. You are not obliged to purchase any and I am not held liable for any problems that may arise related to the use of the products. Please consult with your physician or therapist before making any decisions.
Lastly I recently joined a body toning class once a week for an hour. I find it really helpful especially the core exercises. I do not strictly follow all the movements but I try to do them as much as I could and the result is just brilliant.
I hope that these tips will also be helpful to your recovery and if I could do it, why can't you!? 'Til my next post!

Every business can benefit immensely from sharing content online. The reasons are many: increased brand awareness, lead generation, SEO improvement, engagement, and a boost in sales, to mention a few. Consumers that receive relevant and high-quality content will see the business not only as a company but as a trustworthy partner. But how to reach the audience?
There are some platforms that simply can't be ignored, such as YouTube, for videos, and Facebook, for pretty much everything.
But the alternatives are many: social media platforms, content creation services with sharing features, content aggregators, and more.
So, below we curate the fundamental platforms and also some hidden gems. If you are in a rush, you can skip to our Cheat Sheet!
Versatile Platforms For Sharing Content
It's the first stop of virtually every social marketing professional nowadays. It allows sharing diverse types of content, from text to videos, and is ideal for connecting directly with the customers.
Posting to the Facebook company page is the first step: users populate a copious number of communities and can be reached directly there. Also, its paid service, Facebook Ads, lets the user target specific groups based on demographics and interests. An example post:
Works as a kind of older brother to Facebook. LinkedIn has sharing and engagement as well, but here the focus changes to corporate networking.
The professional social network also has a blog publishing platform. It's especially useful for influencers who wish to share their expertise and know-how about topics such as leadership, innovation, and economics, among others.
The microblogging platform changed the way many people communicate online with its 140-character limit (which it plans to increase to 280).
Twitter is ideal for quick updates and lets business interact directly with customers.
One example tweet:

While definitely underused, Google+ still has a solid number of users: around 400 million active users). Also, it's been reported multiple times that content posted on it gets indexed instantly by Google, which is a blessing for SEO.
This mixture of social network and marketing automation tool is designed to generate traffic. It works by matching content creators into "tribes" that help each other by referring the audience. Triberr includes paid options for boosting content.
It's a discovery enginge, specialized in providing recommendations to its user. As the name suggests, it relies on randomization, but not only.
If the content you shared is interesting enough and well received by the users, the platform makes sure other people have more chance to stumble upon it.
Media Websites
Many bigger media and press websites allow users to submit their content. Some examples are:
- For News: Buzzfeed, PR service websites
- For Industry Leaders: Harvard Business Review, Entrepreneur, FastCompany
- For Inside and sponsored content: Mashable
- For Opinion: New York Times, Huffington Post
These organizations tend to have stricter guidelines and a reviewing team that filters irrelevant or overtly promotional material. As such, they demand extra time and effort to work with and sometimes specifically tailored content. The result, however, is credible exposure and SEO.
Content Sharing Platforms for Specific Media
YouTube and Vimeo
Visual content is becoming increasingly important. Research has found that 4 times as many customers would rather watch a video about a product than read about it. And that study is from 2015. Hardly any other reason is needed.
With over 80 million photos shared daily, instagram is the king of photo sharing. It is strongly related to lifestyle and consumerism content, being adored by brands such as Coca-cola and Mercedes Benz. It has said that its users are two and a half times more likely to click ads than on other social media.
This imagetic social platform is promising for those who sell visually engaging products. The predominantly feminine user base (81%) is one of its main characteristics. Posts are "pinned" into different topics, making it easy to organize and direct content.
Below, one example Pin from CreativeMinds:
The platform hosts over 370 million short-form blogs. The community is engaged and, while it's not seen as one of the top choices for marketing, it has promising multimedia features.
Crafted for newer generations, Snapchat reaches majorly users younger than 34. It is a powerful tool for getting closer to the customer. By offering a one-on-one channel with him or her, the company creates a more relatable image.
The blogging platform hosts posts on contents that range from politics to cooking. It's a safe bet for those who want to showcase research, reflections and opinion with a personal voice.
Slideshare is the current reference for sharing online presentations. One of its most alluring features is the creator tool. But what really motivated LinkedIn to buy it in 2002 is that the service has a big and active community.
Part creation platform, part community, Visually is dedicated to infographics and general visual content.
It allows embedding, which is ideal for social media, SEO and content sharing.
Honorable Mentions
BlogEngage for sharing blogging content, ScoopIt, for a paid content marketing automation service, and Kinja, to create blogs in the same platform as popular websites LifeHacker, Gizmodo, and Kotaku.
Content Sharing Platform for Niches
Businesses with a strong presence in specific industries should look for online communities that concentrate users while allowing them to engage and curate content. Luckily, there are plenty to choose from.
Known as the website that can "break the internet" because of its ongoing traffic, Reddit has an immense user base organized in groups with well-defined themes.
The redditors expect a genuine and sales-free environment, so it's essential to follow each subreddit's rules in order to post. Otherwise, you will be swiftly banned.
This collaborative forum was purposed to help users having their questions answered. Profiles an responses are ranked in a community-like feature. The best thing? The number of topics is immense.
Honorable Mentions
There are alternatives for an even more focused approach: platforms dedicated exclusively to certain subjects, like Well-being (Affimity), Marketing (InBound), Development (DZone), White-hat Hacking (Hacker News), Small Businesses, and Design (Design Float).
Cheat Sheet
Overloaded with information? We understand! That's why we created this Cheat Sheet for sharing content and boosting SEO. Enjoy!

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." -Elvis Costello
So I've been sitting here for a long time trying to channel my inner Rolling Stones reporter and write something cognizant about the music from my friend Kendra Lou's new album, but here I am listening to it for inspiration and I'm so swept away that all I can write is:
OMG you guys. You HAVE to listen to my friend Kendra's music!
I want to tell you about the crispness of her voice, and how it makes you feel clean when you listen to it- calm, like the glassy lid of a pond before it catches a rock- the diversity of the tracks, the rawness of the lyrics. But let's face it, I'm not a music writer, and the best way I can put it is:
OMG YOU GUYS! You HAVE to listen to this!!! It's like Peggy Lee and Portishead in Motown! It's weird and fun and beautiful and UNIQUE!
I could continue to list adjectives that won't do it justice, or you could listen for yourself: www.kendralou.com.
What's more interesting to me, however, is where all this music comes from. Kendra is a creative powerhouse with many incredible gifts.
I met Kendra when I first moved here, through her roommate Daniel. They moved here from Denmark together not too long ago, and having them in my life is one of the best things about living in NYC. First of all, I love to be around people who are proud to share in their culture and traditions, but it's also hard to find people who are really listening. Kendra is a healer. I leave the coffee shop and feel like I can do it- whatever "it" happens to mean that day- and this quality of hers, well, I have to assume it's the foundation of her artistic life, and what drives her to create REALLY GOOD SHIT. Because it's not just for her- it's for us too. Sometimes I feel like that is missing from a performer.
Whether it's music, theatre or the written word, Kendra always has something new to share with us, and it comes from a part of her that longs to use these talents for the good of humanity.
She states it better in her hilarious and charming IndieGoGo video. You can click here to fund her campaign.

As a follow-up to my previous post, I decided to take the plunge and sign up with Feedburner (hat tip to Cristian!). Feedburner is a third-party service
that generates an enhanced RSS feed for you. What's enhanced about it? For starters it
enables you to track RSS statistics for all RSS Aggregators (not just Bloglines).
Feedburner does much more too – e.g. it has a "browser-friendly" option that hides the
XML code from users and it lets you splice in Flickr photos or del.icio.us links to your
RSS feed. Feedburner is a great service, packed with features, but there is a trade-off…
Basically I've handed over control of my RSS feed to a third party, mainly so I can
get some decent stats. I'm not overly comfortable with a third-party hosting my RSS feed,
but then the decentralized content model is getting more and more acceptable on the Web
(I use Flickr and del.icio.us now too).
I want to reiterate that Bloglines subscriber stats has a pretty large margin of
error. As I said in my previous
post, some people have a variety of RSS/Atom feeds associated with 1 blog. Bloglines
only tracks each feed individually. In fact I myself have some subscribers on a
little-known RSS 1.0 feed I have – and those subscribers don't show up in the Subscriber
stats for my main RSS 2.0 feed.
Now that I have a Feedburner RSS feed, that situation will get worse because now I
have a third RSS feed associated with this blog. I configured it so that Feedburner tracks
them all as 1, which is the correct way to do it. Bloglines, by tracking each of my 3 feeds separately, is fragmenting my reader statistics.
Put another way –
Feedburner takes a blog-centered approach to stats-tracking, while Bloglines takes
a feed-centered approach. I much prefer blog-centered, as it's a fairer reflection
of how many people subscribe to your content. I've emailed Bloglines
Support to ask if they can fix this situation and provide an aggregate count of
subscribers for any one blog – no matter how many different feeds it has.
It's too early to discuss what my trends are in Feedburner, but I will write about it
later. If you want to try Feedburner out, MT users can follow the instructions here and here. For Radio
users, Cristian sent me a couple of very
informative emails that hopefully he'll post on his weblog.
Update: Great minds think alike. Jason Fried also has a post about Feedburner today and he lists some other benefits – including that it requires no change on the reader side and it takes the RSS load off your web server. Plus Dick Costolo from Feedburner points in the comments to a handy FAQ.

Palace are really beginning to justify their place in the play-off zone having beaten second placed Bristol City 2-0 this afternoon. You know things are going well when luck is on your side and you start pushing the big boys of the league around.
Palace were lucky to go one up on six minutes when the ball bounced off Morrison's thigh from City's fumbling keeper and into the net, Clinton's 11th goal in 13 games. Hudson then sealed the points five minutes from time with a nicely taken header. Palace are now unbeaten in 15 league games and manager Neil Warnock also equaled his best-ever unbeaten sequence - 15 games as Notts County boss 17 years ago.

Beauty with a mission. Now in High Street Kensington.
Our vision is to create a 21st century beauty salon: On-demand beauty services that are accessible and delivered by skilled, certified and insured therapists in homes, hotels and offices. The needs of the modern individual are changing, and we are adapting the delivery of our services to cater to the requirements of your busy schedule. More than that, we are providing a platform for beauty therapists to work on their own terms - choosing what treatments they do, when and where.
On-demand, at-home beauty is quite a new concept, but we've been working away at it for a few years now. We've worked hard to create a platform that connects skilled beauty therapists and busy customers successfully, and can't wait for you to try out LeSalon! We do love our fashion and beauty, too, which is why our collaborations with Alice Temperley, Nailberry, Sheerluxe, Sweaty Betty and more excite us so much! Since our 2015 launch, we've provided Londoners with over 7,000 manicures, 2,000 pedicures, and many others with waxing and eyelash services. LeSalon started out as a humble team of 3 in an at-home office, where we trialled the service on family and friends, to a 12-person strong team in our Shoreditch office managing hundreds of bookings weekly. Now London's fastest-growing beauty app, we have our sights set on the rest of the UK and further abroad!
There's so much more to LeSalon than at-home pedicure treatments. The LeSalon social scene isn't one the miss - we host customer meet ups monthly. Join us for get-togethers like wine tastings or salsa classes - all with a free mani of course! We're not just pedicures at home - our menu includes a range of home waxing, eyelash treatments, manicures and pedicures, along with wedding packages. We endeavour to confirm your booking within 15 minutes of being placed. This is all done automatically by our intelligent allocation system. For more information on our corporate services, check out our Corporate enquiry page or email Kate directly at email@example.com.
