Last day of the Happiness Challenge...
Here's what makes me happy/feel grateful for:
1. That I was able to complete the challenge - To remember to post everyday and also think of 3 nice things to pen down - it wasn't all that easy! So I pat myself on the back for that :D.
2. Medical advancement: I was just scheduling my daughter's routine health checkup and also simultaneously reading an article about how many under-developed countries still do not have primary care access for all - this is so sad. What we take as granted in our lives is a privilege for others.
3. Fire engines and cop cars: And I grateful for not just what services they provide but also because every fire engine and cop car that passes our home, my daughter squeals in delight and is engages for a good 5 minutes giving me time to do random things like check facebook and blog!!!
So there, I have successfully completed the challenge and as part of the rules, I need to tag three people to pass on the challenge to...And they are...
- Aditi at Diary of a Cusp
- Aditi Varma at The (MIS) Adventures of Sugar'n'Spice

Saving time
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged blogging, health, society on March 6, 2011| 4 Comments »
I can't count the number of times I've been exhausted after a day of working, housekeeping, and child rearing, and just wanted to get into bed to sleep. But before I would drag my weary self upstairs, I would think, "Oh, I'll just check my email first." And then, before I know it, the owl on my Audubon bird clock in the kitchen is hooting midnight, and I'm still at the computer.
I've come to the conclusion that the computer is just another addiction. I've never been into smoking, or alcohol, or drugs, or even caffeine. I don't have what I've heard called an "addictive personality," which relies on outside substances to wake me up in the morning, keep me going, or get me to relax. But the computer has become something entirely different.
Billed as a "time-saver," it's true that the computer, with email, word processing, and the Internet, enables me to keep in touch with my family and friends on the other side of the world, look up obscure facts in a trice, work from home, and write posts like this one to be read by anyone else who has time to kill. Until computers came along, I was content with the occasional phone call or letter, ignorance about all kinds of subjects, and working from home and blogging were virtually unknown to me. But what I really find is that with the convenience comes a hankering to spend even more time on the computer, taking me away from my kids, my other responsibilities, and my sleep. In the end, what I have found is that to a large degree, the computer is an even bigger time-waster. Last Friday, I knew that my work had been buttoned up for the week, there was nothing in the news that I felt a strong urge to follow, and anything else could wait until Sunday. We were having guests for dinner that night and I had to bake for a neighborhood seudah shlishit, so intent as I was on cooking with no distractions, I left the computer turned off all day. The result? Except for one stovetop dish, I was finished cooking by 12:30, filled the hot water urn, dusted the shelves in the dining room where my Shabbat candles and the kids' artwork is displayed, checked my kids' heads for lice (zero for four, thank God), took a leisurely bath, and read the paper for a little while. No rushing at the last minute before candle-lighting, no writing emails until I smell something burning in the oven that I forgot about, no showering in the dark after the Cap'n has gone to shul. It was luxurious. The computer may save me time for some things, but on Friday, NOT using it is the real time-saver.
I realize some parents severely limit their children's daily screen time (TV and computer). I think this is a great idea—so great, in fact, that I think I should probably exercise it on myself, too.
Sex, love, and advertising
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged education, health, teaching on November 4, 2010| 2 Comments »
One of the most useful things I learned from attending public high school was sex ed. It was taught to girls and boys separately (my first experience of single-sex education), discussed in an honest, factual, unabashed manner, and gave me all the information I needed about biology, pregnancy prevention, and sexually transmitted diseases, to make my choices in life.
My last two years of high school, and my year of high school teaching, were both in girls' Catholic schools. My high school (in Monterey, California) was unusual in that the seniors were given a day off from lessons in the spring to spend the day (including a posh luncheon) with a gynecologist imported from San Francisco. She gave us a presentation about female sexuality, sprinkling her talk with humorous anecdotes from her private practice in The City. She told us everything we needed to know, and then the floor was open for questions. We were allowed to ask anything and everything we wished, and our questions were answered in full. Recognizing that we would soon be off to college and devoid of adult supervision or counsel, the blessed sisters made an effort to provide us with as much information as possible to keep ourselves safe and healthy.
Contrast this with the year I spent teaching in a girls' Catholic school in Newton, Massachusetts, where sex education comprised lectures about abstinence. Please note that I was in high school in the mid-1980s, and was teaching fifteen years later. But the school where I taught espoused the much more traditional Catholic attitude toward premarital sex and, since it was not acting in loco parentis (as my boarding school was), perhaps the administration did not feel at liberty to offer advice that might run counter to some families' values and parenting.
But I still remember the students filing into my US history class grumbling about the abstinence-only curriculum. "In two years we'll be in college, and if we don't know what we're doing, we can get into trouble!" They were angry at the school for denying them the information they knew they would need in order to make their own choices. And given that one of my students (not in that class) was several months pregnant by graduation time, it's clear that these girls were done a disservice.
All that came back to mind last week (as well as news of a 10 year old mother delivering her child in Spain recently) when a friend of the Cap'n's who is a family physician sent him a link to a Slate Magazine article/slideshow on "The European approach to teens, sex, and love, in pictures." It is compiled and written by a physician who works for Planned Parenthood, and examines and contrasts advertising and attitudes toward teen sexual activity in America and Europe. (In a nutshell, it shows that Europeans accept that many young people are sexually active and use humor to teach about condoms, encouraging young people to be prepared. Americans view youth sex as bad, carrying a condom is perceived negatively both for girls and boys, and Madison Avenue prefers fearful messages to sell condoms.) It should interest parents, teachers, media analysts, psychologists and health educators, as well as anyone else who takes an interest in the next generation.

Send in the clowns
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged children, health on February 18, 2010| 7 Comments »
I have discovered lots of cool things about living in Israel. While people here are notorious for being rude, small shop owners have sold me stuff on credit ("Just pay me next time you come in"), or even loaned me their own personal knitting needles for a project. I have never once been catcalled by a construction worker here. (In the US, I don't think I passed a single construction site without someone rating my appearance.) And I just discovered that clowns, which I never found funny, but always thought bizarre and pitiful looking, have been transformed into valuable members of medical teams in hospitals. Check out this video:
The US has also worked at integrating specially trained clowns into its medical programs. I'm impressed by what this video shows: how the clowns interact with patients from newborns to tweens, their level of training, and their acceptance–nay, the demand for them–by hospital staff. For the medical field to take the leap to seeing medical treatment through a very young patient's eyes, and to work to make the experience of hospitalization and treatment more comfortable for that population, is commendable.
I often despair that life is not a progression from barbarism toward greater civilization. And then I see videos like this, and hope is restored.
Cooking for friends with special diets
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cooking, health on February 8, 2010| 4 Comments »
In the last few weeks, I've undertaken some challenging cooking jobs. Vegan friends sponsored a kiddush, other friends with multiple allergies recently welcomed twins into their family, and a family joined us for Shabbat with a member who doesn't eat gluten or eggs. And my in-laws are shortly to join us for a couple of weeks, with my mother-in-law on a diet that at this point allows for plain chicken breasts, lettuce leaves, rice, and peppermint stick ice cream.
My mother thinks I'm crazy to cook as much as I do, but I really enjoy it. I cook very simply during the week (salads, soups, beans and rice, raw vegetable platters) and save the bulk of my cooking energy for Shabbat.
And it's also a fact that food, which I always thought was here to sustain us, makes many of us sick. So it's not enough anymore just to keep kosher (which was plenty complicated for me to learn at the beginning); now a competent cook needs to have a cooking repertoire that includes dishes for friends who are lactose intolerant or dairy-allergic, gluten-free, vegan, or allergic to tree nuts, eggs, sesame seeds, soy, half of the fruits, the nightshade family, and can't be in the same room as fish.
Should anyone else find themselves having to make food for friends with allergies or strict diets, I thought I would share some of what I've done in the last couple of weeks, and the sources for the recipes where relevant.
For the vegan kiddush I made the following:
Ultra-orange cake (a beautiful, tasty one-bowl cake from the latest Joy of Cooking)
Vegan chocolate cake (not the best chocolate cake in the world, but passable, also from Joy of Cooking)
Apple "pie" (a crustless apple dessert made in a springform pan)
Coconut rice pudding (a very rich, Indian-inspired dish from Claudia Roden's Book of Jewish Food)
Jelly mold (I used bovine gelatin here, which no true vegan will eat, but the kids had to have something to enjoy, and I sprinkled Jelly Bellies® around it for added fun, flavor, and color)
Popcorn (the Cap'n made regular salted popcorn, but one can make caramel popcorn or "sweet" popcorn, adding powdered sugar instead of salt)
For our highly allergic friends' dinner we took the following:
Spaghetti and meatballs (where I formed the meatballs from ground chicken and beef, but no other add-ins; just be gentle with them in the pan until they're browned, so they don't break up)
Raw vegetable platter
Crunch-top apple pie (okay, the kid with the nut allergies couldn't eat this, but we didn't call the kids for dessert anyway, and just sat and enjoyed it ourselves)
And for our friends with a gluten-free, egg-free mom, here's what I made:
Friday night: chicken soup with choice of pasta or rice, cooked separately from the soup
Saturday lunch: Tuscan bean soup, chicken piccatta (sprinkled lightly with rice flour instead of dredged in wheat flour) and schnitzel (for the kids), rice pilaf (wild rice blend with sautéed shallots, olive oil, and fried pinenuts), roasted zucchini and tomato gratin, and coleslaw. Dessert, the pièce de resistance, was homemade marshmallows, balls of green melon, strawberries, and orange chunks dipped in a warm chocolate sauce. (Thanks for the idea, Ilana!)
What's next? Well, for my mother-in-law, I plan to have pre-cooked and frozen chicken breasts, spun lettuce, and the rice cooker at the ready. (And since they're bringing us an ice cream maker, I'll make homemade ice cream.) The rest of us will eat bean and cheese tacos, spaghetti with tomato sauce, Caesar salad, and the rest of the normal Shimshonit repertoire. And we've extended an invitation to friends for Purim seudah where the father has Crohn's, so no raw vegetables or fruits. But I suppose shepherd's pie, steamed broccoli and cake should be all right.
Does anyone else have tips, suggestions, or experiences they want to share about feeding people with special diets?
Relatively healthy
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged aliyah, children, health, Israel on February 2, 2010| 2 Comments »
One of the things I have found remarkable about our lives in Israel since making aliyah three and a half years ago has been how relatively healthy our children are. True, like most new immigrants, we were all dreadfully sick in our first year here. The Cap'n missed three solid weeks of ulpan while the girls each took a turn with a week-long fever, which would begin on Shabbat afternoon and taper off the following Shabbat morning, to be followed by the next girl's fever spiking and settling in. That, plus our own colds, were not fun.
And this is not to say that the Cap'n and I are so healthy all the time either. We have had our share of colds, but even worse than the occasional virus are the allergies here, especially in Efrat where it seems something is blooming or otherwise reproducing at any given time, and the regular doses of Loratidine we take are more for making us less miserable than for making us actually feel well.
But the children have been in the pink almost every winter. Banana missed a couple of days with a fever this year, and Peach pretended to be sick last month (which we humored for a day, then sent her packing back to school). But in general, they go to school feeling fine every day.
Oy—the memories I have of the flu, the chicken pox, the rotten colds that made me miserable for days and weeks on end! Living in Hingham (Mass.) where my bedroom was an icebox, in Denver where we burrowed tunnels under the snow in the front yard, and in Portland (Ore.) where the rain could keep us indoors for days on end were what I grew up with, and the viruses I caught which kept me miserable cannot be counted.
It's a particular joy, and one I hopefully anticipated before making aliyah, to see my children healthy (yes, they eat well, including their vegetables) and able to play outside nearly every day of the year. Even if the wind is blowing or the weather is cold, the ground is usually dry and the sun is usually out. I suppose if one really wants to live in paradise, one could move to Hawaii which has essentially one season—warm. But I couldn't give up seasons altogether, and now the almond trees are flowering, the tulips and narcissus are up and blooming, the cyclamen and anemones are dotting the rocks and grass on the hillsides among the ancient terraces here in the Gush, and we still get a rainy day here and there to keep it all green. It's all good.
Except for those allergies…
It all comes down to…diet
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cooking, health, manners, society on January 8, 2010| 3 Comments »
In last Friday's Jerusalem Post, there appeared an article in the Magazine section in which a macrobiotic chef claims she cured herself of cancer through a dramatic change in diet and lifestyle. A woman I know claims her child with Asperger's Syndrome has responded dramatically to a gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free diet. And when I was an aide in special ed. reading classes, a substitute teacher claimed that none of those kids would be in there if they were on proper diets.
It's very bewitching to think that our health—including disease, mental illness, and learning disabilities—can all be controlled through diet. Despite many great medical advances, many disorders are still not fully understood and the feelings of frustration and helplessness that accompany being—or caring for—ill or disabled people can be overwhelming. It gives people hope to believe that they can cure themselves of all kinds of maladies, and for those disappointed by the healthcare field (and there are many), taking matters into their own hands through altering their diet gives them back the control they regret ceding to physicians, psychologists, and learning specialists who (for whatever reason) have been unable to help them.
There is only one problem: Since these disorders are still not fully understood, there is nothing to suggest that a change diet is all that is needed to cure them. I know a woman who, like the woman in the Post article, tried to save her mother from a wasting cancer by putting her on a macrobiotic diet. She failed.
I have no objection to someone adopting a regimen they hope will help them, especially if it's going to contribute to their overall health. I had a psych professor in graduate school who advocated a multi-pronged approach to any mental illness—behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and medication, if warranted. Had someone suggested to him dietary therapy, he would likely not have shot the suggestion down.
What I DO object to is people who insist, loudly, anytime anyone is listening, that anyone who is sick is to blame for eating the wrong foods, and should adopt their personal regimen for perfect health. We know that high-fat, high-sugar diets can lead to obesity, heart disease, and Type II diabetes. We know that whole grains, fiber, pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables are nutritious and benefit everyone. But it's also true that someone like my grandfather can go through life, eating whatever he pleased, smoking, drinking to excess, and still live to a pretty respectable age. Some things come down to genetics. Some things come down to a hardy constitution. Some things come down to regular exercise.
A friend of mine with a child with PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) blogs that she has not found most online resources to be useful to her, since some of them are written by what she calls "hawks," or people who believe they have THE answers to their children's problems, if only people will listen to them. Some of these people, I have little doubt, are skeptical of the value of traditional healthcare solutions (as well they should be) and advocate alternative, sometimes simplistic solutions, of which they should be equally skeptical.
I believe a sensible diet is essential for overall health. Avoiding foods for which one has no tolerance, substituting adequate nutrition from other sources, and exercising regularly are beneficial to everyone. If someone has certain needs and those needs are met by a specific diet, they have my blessing. But pontificating ad nauseum about what works for one person, or against one disease, or in one situation, and proclaiming that as the new gold standard of diet is preachy, bossy, and well, a bit much.
My doctor in the US told me after my kids were born that the best parenting book I can read is the one I write myself. I would apply this same wisdom to what people eat.

That first time one of my designs went to print. Like, print in a magazine. That time is this month because my dining room design is in HGTV's May issue!!
Which basically means that you'll find me in every magazine toting store in Charleston buying up the issue just so that I can casually mention to anyone in my vicinity that "I'm in it"!
I'm sure most of you recognize this as the dining room from my old house. I brought that chandelier here to our new home and it looks lovely here, too. Just so you know.
I share a page with Amanda Nisbet. Amanda Nisbet, y'all. Hell yes! Thank you HGTV. And an extra thank you to Rae McConville for bringing this whole color story to life. You rocked my world.
Alright, I've decided to tell you a side story to all this. For some reason I had in my head that my feature would be in the April issue (ooops). So last month I ran out to get the magazine (duh) and was quickly super bummed to flip through, not see my room, and think that I was cut. But I saw my friend Roxy in that issue so I was pretty pumped for her (her home's gorgeous, did you see it?). But then I went back to being sad for myself. And THEN Lilly says "I know why you're sad, Mom. You're sad because your friend is in the magazine and you're not."
I mean, whoa. What an intuitive statement to come out of my 3 year old's mouth. But Roxy, I swear it wasn't like that, ha!
Anyway, it's a little thing in the grand scheme of things. But between you and me, it's pretty awesome, too :)

The Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (Unisame) has urged the government to make installation of alternate energy system of solar, wind or biomass mandatory for all new construction of houses, commercial buildings and factories to save electricity in view of satisfactory and successful reports from alternate energy users from all over Pakistan.
President Unisame Zulfikar Thaver said the new houses, commercial buildings and factories should be given a choice to install solar, wind or biomass systems and urged the government to make it mandatory for them to install alternate energy systems.
He said the government needs to encourage the use of alternate energy generation systems and make it affordable by exempting the alternate energy systems from all import duties.
He asked the State Bank of Pakistan to offer subsidised finance for installation of alternate energy systems of solar, wind or biomass.
He asked the government to offer leasing facilities for the installation of alternate energy systems for the small and medium enterprises on easy repayment terms to enable them repay over a period of 3 to 5 years on easy installments.

Soaptopia, that sudsy, keep-'em-squeaky shop in Mar Vista, is one of our favorite local soaperies. We're not alone in this. Nor are we alone in wanting to show more gratitude, always, but particularly at this time of year.
With that in mind, we were cheered to read about Soaptopia's Grassroots Gratitude program. The upshot: Order over $38 and a friend of yours will get one of the shop's smells-sweet soaps, gratis. There's also a Gratitude Gift Box you can send, and if you do, you are the recipient of the free bar of soap.
It's all good, as the t-shirts and bumperstickers and various notepads and trinkets say. If you're holiday shopping, and you're a soap supporter, eye Soaptopia's gratitude-nice deal.

Move carefully on provincial deficit
Posted on March 24, 2010 in Governance Debates
Source: Toronto Star — Authors: Editorial
Published On Wed Mar 24 2010
Six years ago, the newly elected provincial Liberal government was hyperactive about the $5.6 billion deficit it had inherited from the previous Conservative regime.
Premier Dalton McGuinty and his ministers spoke often about the urgency of eliminating the deficit. There was talk of "reinventing government" to focus on core areas, imposing a "fat tax" on fast foods, selling off the LCBO, means-testing the seniors' drug plan, and slapping tolls on highways (none of which happened).
Today, the Liberal government is reacting much more calmly to a deficit of $24.7 billion, more than four times higher than it was in 2004. "It's going to take us time to recover from that," says Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, who brings down a budget Thursday.
Instead of a full-out assault on the deficit, then, Duncan's budget will reportedly include a plan to eliminate it over seven years.
One can argue over whether a seven-year plan is meaningful for any government, given that 2017 is at least two elections away. But the Liberals are right to adopt a more measured approach to the deficit today. With the economic recovery still in a fragile stage, it would be a mistake to hike taxes sharply or cut spending deeply right now. As the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said in its pre-budget report this week, "Now is not the time to withdraw economic stimulus."
Indeed, some spending ought to be increased – to replace the withdrawn federal funding of daycare, advance the government's goal of reducing child poverty, invest in the knowledge economy by expanding post-secondary education, and rebuild crumbling infrastructure.
As for the sale of public assets like the LCBO, that could mean trading a short-term fix of the deficit for lost government revenues over the long haul. Any privatization schemes need to be fully thought through, with the costs and benefits carefully measured. The government should avoid any panicky moves such as the Conservatives' unloading of Highway 407 in 1999 for what is now generally considered a fire-sale price.
This is not to say that restraint on public spending should be ignored in tomorrow's budget. For example, the government will want to begin making the case to public sector workers, who have largely escaped the pain of the recession, that continued pay increases in the 3-to-4 per cent range are no longer sustainable. In this respect, there may be some symbolic restraint on pay for senior civil servants.
But any more substantive moves should be put off until the economy is back on its feet.

I've tried with a painted image (black and white) but it didn't work I know in the tutorial below (min 2:25) it's driven by a clarisse image, but how can we use just normal images?

Over the weekend I read Seth Godin's new book – Tribes. It's a great read if you are involved in a movement like Mozilla, and pulls together much of the why and the how, of how we have been operating all together as a 'tribe' for years.
And if you are not yet involved in a project or tribe, this book is certainly an empowering read to go out there and make a difference to your workplace, your hometown, and even the World. Godin makes claim, with all the technology out there, and more than 1 billion people connected via the wonderful thing that is the Web – we should all be able to follow our beliefs and make change happen. I'd like to second that!
Some noteworthy points:
'The movement happens when people talk to one another, when ideas spread within the community, and most of all, when peer support leads people to do what they always knew was the right thing.'
'Tribes are bored of yesterday, and demand tomorrow'
'With enough leverage, you can change your company, your industry, and the World.'
As we move into 2009 – I'm excited to see what our Mozilla community is going to accomplish together as a tribe. We have already come so far, and are a tremendous example to the World of just what can be achieved when people come together and want change to happen.
Parting thought: Godin quotes Flynn Berry who claims that when people talk about opportunity, we should substitute the word opportunity with 'obligation'. I like this idea very much, and think we all have an obligation '…to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and play it better than anyone has the right to believe is possible'. Do something good for the world in whatever manifestation this may take.
So – whether that's encouraging more people to get involved with the Mozilla project, joining a tribe which speaks to you, or leading others to follow your passion and belief – make it happen today. There's no time to waste – go tell your story! 🙂

The Invisibles by Francis Gideon
Publisher: Less Than Three Press
Publication Date: January 6, 016
Format: eARC
Genres: Young Adult, M/M
Add It: Goodreads
Amazon | Barnes & Noble | The Ripped Bodice | Google Play Books
Mike meets Johnny and Ray during the first week of high school just as 9/11 happens. When they can't deal with what's occurring in real life, the three boys skip class together and bond over comic books and movies instead.
From there, Johnny and Mike grow closer and end up forming a friendship. When Mike realizes that Johnny has his own "secret identity" like the superheroes he loves, the two become even closer. But in order for Johnny to truly open up about being gay, Mike has to figure out what's so special about the superheroes he loves, and why being invisible is the best superpower there can be.
Mike is new in school as a freshman and hasn't really made friends yet. On September 11, 2001 the school is in turmoil and Mike ends up together with fellow freshmen Johnny and Ray. They skip school and go to Ray's house to watch tv. Mike and Johnny seem to have more in common and Mike finds himself liking Johnny more and more. As the trio continue to skip they become better friends but Mike looks at Johnny as more than a friend and he finds that maybe Johnny is looking at Mike in the same way.
This was a very short story about three very different young men who find themselves together. Ray and Johnny were once neighbors and that's how they had become friends. They had no problem adding Mike to the mix but from the start Mike felt something more for Johnny. Johnny wasn't sure what it was he wanted but the comic books that the pair looked at was something they had in common and eventually comic were what brought them together on another level.
I found the story to be very touching and though provoking in that the three kids were trying to make sense of the world in general but especially after 9/11. To them it didn't affect them too much but it was still there making them think.
A short but pretty sweet YA m/m story (kissing only) that I enjoyed.

Living and working in Tórshavn as a teacher, Juanita is originally from Suðuroy, the southernmost of the Faroe Islands. She has been modelling for 10 years and having her in front of my camera was a real pleasure, but most of all I enjoyed getting to know her — so much that we decided to go on a second portrait session together!
That day we started our shooting in the old part of Tórshavn — which is certainly the tiniest and one of the most charming capital cities I have ever visited. We then continued to the village of Kirkjubøur, where it started to rain quite heavily. I quickly learnt though that the weather in Faroe changes quite fast and ended up taking my favourite shots of the session, when the rain stopped shortly after.

By engaging key business travelers with the power to influence their trips, bTd targets Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) and some large corporations with flexible travel policies based on lowest-logical-fares or self-service bookings.
The international travel market for SME is very fragmented and unserved by traditional travel agencies, which still operate with high cost-to-serve and lack of technology, charging high booking fees and penalties for business travelers and their corporations. And this market is still a challenge for travel suppliers, specially for airlines, to approach and build relationship, create value and sustain loyalty.
bTd is an effective route-to-market for travel suppliers to create sustainable value for the international SME and selected large corporations. Powered by a comprehensive booking engine, web services and high-quality service from corporate specialists, bTd educates business owners, entrepreneurs and corporate executives to use the best practices in corporate travel and to save money in both their business and leisure trips.
Its shareholders and main executives – Joao de Matos (President) and Manoel Suhet (CEO) are the perfect match as they combine successful track-records with over 39 years in travel in the US plus over 20 years of a solid international business and technology expertise in global corporations. Business Traveler Deals is a strategic marketplace where committed travel suppliers meet and can generate value and loyalty from selective high-yield corporate and leisure travelers.
Our Team
After reaching $680 millions in sales and leading successfully until 2017 the LATAM Airlines formation across US, Canada and Caribbean, Manoel left the company to develop with a solid partner, his innovative business model for managing corporate travel. With a distinguished 20 years international executive career in global corporations like Shell and Trafigura, Manoel has lived in four countries and traveled extensively around the globe. His credentials as business traveler and global leader include solid expertise in business start-up, M&A and turn-around in areas of strategy, sales, marketing, operations, e-commerce and technology with a strong corporate network across all industry sectors. Suhet has attended executive programs at Harvard and Kellogg and received his Executive MBA in Don Cabral Foundation in Brazil.

It seems like a new brewery is popping up every other day in metro Atlanta.
Everyone has their favorite, but there's at least three of them that have risen above the rest in terms of popularity, according to one website.
Thrillist — a website covering food, drink, travel and entertainment — recently released a list of "The 32 Hottest Breweries In America Right Now." Among the booze factories topping the charts are three Atlanta breweries.
The list, determined by Thrillist's four beer "experts" features Sweetwater Brewing, New Realm and Hopstix.
READ | Starbucks could replace former PNC Bank in Alpharetta
READ | Actual Factual North Fulton: What's up with parking at City Springs?
READ | Remember 2 Chainz's Pink Trap House? It's going to be torn down.
Sweetwater first opened its doors in 1997, and its brewery is located just north of Midtown. They distribute around the country, from Maryland to California to Massachusetts. You can even get their flagship 420 Pale Ale on Delta flights.
The people behind New Realm debuted their brewery-restaurant less than a year ago along the Beltline. Spanning over 40,000 square-feet, the brewery features a vast menu and more than 20 beers on-tap.
Founded by Andy Tan and stationed in Chamblee, Hopstix opened in 2017 as an Asian brewpub, meshing together the elements of a brewery, sushi bar and chef-driven restaurant all in one place. Grab a "Rice and Shine" or a "Night King's Stout" and pair it with ramen or poke bowls for a unique experience.
Thrillist says it will update its rankings like a tap list, so check back there in a few weeks and see if another Atlanta brewery checks in.

One of the most difficult things for students is learning about theory. Teaching and learning theory delights theory-headed people, but it can drain others, and it can cause students to shut down quickly if they don't have the necessary skills. If we don't teach students to read theory critically. Also, particularly for WGS and other experiential classes such as Interpersonal Communication, if we focus too heavily on processing students' personal experiences and examples without relating back to the theory under discussion, then we risk deskilling our students' as they learn critical thinking.
Here is a list of teaching tips for dealing with theory and some sample exercises to illustrate. Far too frequently, the students never received the critical thinking tools to read or process theory, so it's best to start with small building blocks. I also find it helpful to work them through the various stages of Bloom's taxonomy or other taxonomies at a conscious level until they get the hang of it. Some people call this transparency of method "metacognition."
1. Start with collaborative workgroups doing worksheets that lead students explicitly through some course content. Help students make lower-order connections of knowledge, comprehension, and application. The worksheet serves multiple functions that enrich the discussion: A) Students review content; B) Underprepared and unprepared students review the material; C) Apprehensive or anxious students rehearse their observations and questions. Once students have processed content, class moves more quickly to higher order thinking skills in the debriefing and discussion. Debriefing is imperative, because students synthesize what they know with other groups' discoveries. This sort of exercise works best early in the semester to build students' confidence in talking about theory. Here is an example worksheet from a senior-level women's studies class: Worksheet on Liberal Feminism.
2. Early in the semester facilitate a class discussion in which students offer each other advice for reading theory. A round robin encourages quieter, reflective students to participate. Compile the responses into handout with a list of tips. This exercise builds a supportive, communal class.
3. Teach students to read theory as a metaphor. Explain that metaphors help authors present information or positions in a condensed form. Unpacking metaphors is a good exercise in identifying a theorist's position, assumptions, etc. Ask students to analyze a metaphor in a particular theory piece as if the theory were a poem. Assign the metaphor or passage, or ask students to find their own metaphor. Ex: The economic metaphor for relationships (found easily in many theories across disciplines). Students locate this quickly, and can jump to the implications relevant to the course ("meat markets," "bread earners," relationships as costs or gifts). Significantly, students learn to trace implications and inferences consciously.
4. Teach explication early through collaborative workgroups and then collective class debriefing. Use a common paragraph early in the semester to get the process going.
5. Teach students how to identify and interpret key passages by modeling and practicing with the following activity: Provide a list of key passages from an article and number them. Assign each workgroup a number, and assign one passage to each workgroup by that corresponding number. Ask the individual groups to find the passage in the article, and then determine as best they can what the passage means. Have groups debrief in the order of the numbered passages. By the time debriefing is ended and all the quotes are discussed, the entire article is processed. This format is called a jigsaw workgroup.
6. Teach students how to read for themselves by asking them to select a passage they like and tell the class why they found it particularly meaningful or striking. This works best as a think-pair-share or a freewriting exercise.
7. Prove to students that they are better readers of theory than they realize. With the most difficult article, ask everyone to write down the one thing they think they understand from the article. Process everyone's answer in a round robin. By the time the round is over, students usually have covered everything significant that needed to be said about the article. This is called a one-minute paper.
8. Remind students that doing theory is like learning a foreign language. People can have a passive knowledge of a foreign language, which means they understand what they hear and read but they cannot speak or write it. The only way to have an active knowledge is to practice. So people have to practice doing theory by speaking it aloud and writing it down. They might talk with a funny accent at first, but that is part of the process.
Thoughts on group selection: Most often, ordering groups randomly by numbering off works best (ones together, twos together, etc.). In this way, cliques are divided and students receive the benefit of varying participation and skill levels. However, when it comes to difficult passages or tasks, it might prove more helpful to select groups or subtly assign a task to a group with the strongest reader.

Hope your weekend was wonderful…ours was busy! Our good friends Brigid & Glen hosted a BBQ filled with great food, lots of laughter and BFF's…..and yes the Divine Ms. B was there! we had a wonderful time…..Then on Sunday, my husband and future son-in-law, Joey attended the Indy 500 at Pocono Raceway…..I got to spend the entire day doing what I enjoy…sewing and a quick DIY…..
In the office (AKA library/sewing room) I have the wall space on either side of the Bay window. it's narrow but still needs something on it. So I went to www.thegraphicsfairy.com and printed out some wonderful graphics on card stock, found some inexpensive frames at Big lots and Voila! Instant Wall Art……and the best price – under $20.00 for all four!
Visit the Graphics fairy and the inspiration will be endless!
Now as for the sewing……hmmm, well working on a surprise 25th wedding anniversary gift for my dear sister-in-law…..so I can't share just yet……but I promise I am working hard on it!
Happy Monday!

Top Things You Need to Know about Hiring an Attorney in Chicago
Legal services are a lot like any other product: the wise consumer needs to do extensive research before making an informed decision. Unless you are skilled in the relevant area of the law and a vested party fighting for your rights, you may end up walking away with so much less than you are actually entitled to. Once you obtain several lawyer referrals with experience in the corresponding practice area, make certain that you conscientiously research each candidate. Below are some of the most essential factors that you need to keep in mind when you are searching for the best attorney for your case in Chicago.
Ask for a Referral
Lawyers, accountants, psychologists, financial planners, and other professionals meet and work with other lawyers as they are working and can often provide you with a useful referral. Ask them for a few names of attorneys who have good reputations and are more than qualified to handle your case. Lawyers, specifically, have an intimate knowledge of the reputations of other lawyers, even those not within their specialization, so a lawyer you already know can be a good place to begin. You may also ask your friends or family members who have gone through a situation that is similar to yours.
Find at Least Three Potential Attorneys
Don't hire the first lawyer you encounter. Not all lawyers can handle your case in the same way. Find at least three attorneys that you can interview before selecting the best one. Narrow down your list of lawyers and try to interview each one. The lawyers must ask you a lot of questions, as well. Remember that the more questions you ask, the more you will understand the attorney's communication approach, personality and breadth of knowledge. It is important that you hire a lawyer that specializes in the area law your case falls into (e.g. criminal appeals, DUI, civil rights, etc.) and one that has extensive experience handling cases comparable to yours. How a lawyers replies to your questions is very important, but communication is a two way street.
Plan for a First Consultation
Many lawyers can give you a free initial consultation to study your case, generally around 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure you have the necessary paperwork and documentation with you so you will be ready to give a broad overview of your case. Pay more attention to the professionalism of the lawyer and his staff than to the quality of the office. Because fees pay for everything, a plain office may denote that the lawyer is careful with money and does not spend it on appearances. What is more essential is the friendliness and efficiency of the lawyer and his staff.

December 11, 1998, Section E, Page 16Buy Reprints
Shakespeare meets Sherlock, and makes for pure enchantment in the inspired conjecture behind ''Shakespeare in Love.'' This film's exhilarating cleverness springs from its speculation about where the playwright might have found the beginnings of ''Romeo and Juliet,'' but it is not constrained by worries about literary or historical accuracy. (So what if characters talk about Virginia tobacco plantations before there was a Virginia?) Galvanized by the near-total absence of biographical data, it soars freely into the realm of invention, wittily weaving Shakespearean language and emotion into an intoxicatingly glamorous romance. No less marvelous are its imaginings of an Elizabethan theater fraught with the same backbiting and conniving we enjoy today.
Tom Stoppard's mark on the jubilant screenplay, which originated as the brainstorm of Marc Norman, harks back to the behind-the-scenes delights of his ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.'' This is a world in which a therapist times his patient with an hourglass and a souvenir mug is inscribed ''A Present From Stratford-Upon-Avon.'' Says the dashing young Shakespeare, played tempestuously well by Joseph Fiennes, about the more successful Christopher Marlowe (Rupert Everett): ''Lovely waistcoat. Shame about the poetry.'' And there is the inevitable moment when someone asks who Shakespeare is, only to be told by a comically obtuse producer (Geoffrey Rush): ''Nobody -- that's the author.''
Ingenious as the film's many inventions happen to be (from boatmen who behave like cabbies to its equivalent of Shakespearean outtakes -- ''One Gentleman of Verona'' in the writing process), it could never have had so much energy without the right real-life Juliet to dazzle Will. Gwyneth Paltrow, in her first great, fully realized starring performance, makes a heroine so breathtaking that she seems utterly plausible as the playwright's guiding light. In a film steamy enough to start a sonnet craze, her Viola de Lesseps really does seem to warrant the most timeless love poems, and to speak Shakespeare's own elegant language with astonishing ease. ''Shakespeare in Love'' itself seems as smitten with her as the poet is, and as alight with the same love of language and beauty.
As directed by John Madden in much more rollicking, passionate style than his ''Mrs. Brown,'' ''Shakespeare in Love'' imagines Viola as the perfect muse: a literate, headstrong beauty who adores the theater and can use words like ''anon'' as readily as Shakespeare writes them. She comes into his life at a pivotal moment in his career, about which the film speculates with literary scholarship and Holmesian audacity. What if, before making the leap from his early works to the profound emotions of ''Romeo and Juliet,'' he had suffered both writer's block and a crisis in sexual confidence? (''It's as if my quill has broken,'' he tells his therapist.) What if such impotence could be cured only by a madly romantic liaison with a Juliet prototype, an unattainable woman with a habit of speaking from her balcony?
Enter Viola, who is so eager to work in the theater that she disguises herself as a boy, since women are forbidden to act. (Part of the film's great fun is its way of working such Shakespearean gambits into its own plot.) On her way to winning the role of Romeo, Viola finds herself suddenly enmeshed with the handsome playwright himself, and the film gives way to a heady brew of literature and ardor. In one transporting montage, the lovers embrace passionately while rehearsing dialogue that spills over into stage scenes, and the bond between tempestuous love and artistic creation is illustrated beautifully. The film is as bold in its romantic interludes as it is in historical second-guessing, leaving Ms. Paltrow and Mr. Fiennes enmeshed in frequent half-nude, hotblooded clinches in her boudoir.
Far richer and more deft than the other Elizabethan film in town (''Elizabeth''), this boasts a splendid, hearty cast of supporting players. (The actors in both films, like Mr. Fiennes, do notably better work here.) Colin Firth plays Viola's fiance as a perfect Mr. Wrong. Mr. Rush's opportunistic producer is very funny, as is Ben Affleck's version of a big-egoed actor, Elizabethan style. (Cast as Mercutio, he is also hoodwinked by Will into thinking that ''Mercutio'' is the play's name.) Also most amusing is Tom Wilkinson as a financier who grows stage-struck, Jim Carter as the actor who looks silliest in a dress, Simon Callow as the Queen's censor and Imelda Staunton as Viola's nurse. Judi Dench's shrewd, daunting Elizabeth is one of the film's utmost treats.
So are its costumes. The designer Sandy Powell has previous credits including ''Orlando'' and ''The Wings of the Dove,'' and she deserves to be remembered for her wonderfully inventive work this year. She contributes extravagantly to this film's visual allure and did the same for ''Velvet Goldmine.'' Gear-switching that extreme is no mean feat.
''Shakespeare in Love'' is rated R (Under 17 must be accompanied by parent or adult guardian). It includes nudity, bawdy humor and torrid sexual situations.
Directed by John Madden; written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard; director of photography, Richard Greatrex; edited by David Gamble; music by Stephen Warbeck; costumes by Sandy Powell; production designer, Martin Childs; produced by David Parritt, Donna Gigliotti, Harvey Weinstein, Edward Zwick and Mr. Norman; released by Miramax Films. Running time: 113 minutes. This film is rated R.
WITH: Gwyneth Paltrow (Viola de Lesseps), Joseph Fiennes (Will Shakespeare), Geoffrey Rush (Philip Henslowe), Colin Firth (Lord Wessex), Ben Affleck (Ned Alleyn), Judi Dench (Queen Elizabeth), Rupert Everett (Christopher Marlowe), Simon Callow (Tilney, Master of the Revels), Jim Carter (Ralph Bashford), Martin Clunes (Richard Burbage), Antony Sher (Dr. Moth), Imelda Staunton (Nurse), Tom Wilkinson (Hugh Fennyman) and Mark Williams (Wabash).

If someone is generally klutzy, or neglects one responsibility because of the urgency of another, we jokingly say they "can't walk and chew gum at the same time." This is, in a sense, a statement about multi threading. Humans are used to doing multiple tasks simultaneously (though some are better at it than others). A musical performer, for instance, will be doing chording and fingering with his left hand, plucking or strumming strings with his right hand, singing lyrics and melody with his mouth, and keeping time with a tapping foot.
If we were to think of the musician as a computer, and the performance as a program, we could break the program down into 4 obvious threads. Those would be left hand, right hand, mouth, and foot. It's the same way with walking and chewing gum; there are two obvious threads for the program. When programmers are faced with tasks like these, they can immediately see where they can get performance gains by expressing the solution using multiple threads. It becomes more difficult, however, when the task has less obvious threading boundaries.
Let's say that a programming team is assigned the "chew gum and walk" program. They do initial analysis and decide that they could implement the program serially, but could get a significant performance improvement if they put chewing gum and walking in separate threads. As they're about to begin implementation, word comes down that the budget for the project has been reduced, and the "chew gum" feature has been deferred to some future version of the program; version 1 will just "walk."
At first, the team thinks that there is no longer an opportunity to gain from multi threading. But shortly they realize that walking engages 2 legs, and they can put each leg in a separate thread. They'll have to synchronize the threads to keep the program from falling over or walking in a circle, but they know how to do that. Unfortunately, the project budget is cut again, and now the scope has been reduced to 1 leg making a walking motion. The team rises to the occasion, however, and plans multiple threads to handle the calf, thigh, knee, etc.
The opportunity for using multiple threads is really a question of task granularity. Consider the very low-level case of 3 lines of code:
1. a = a + c
2. b = b + d
3. e = a + b
The calculation in line 3 depends on the calculations in line 1 and 2. The calculation in line 2, however, does not depend on the calculation in line 1. Line 1 and 2 can be safely executed simultaneously. The overhead of explicitly starting a thread just to execute line 2 at the same time as line 1 would have negative impact on real performance, programmer efficiency, and program maintainability. However, this level of parallelism (called Instruction Level Parallelism or ILP) is a robust area of research, with the emphasis on compilers and operating systems that can determine which instructions depend on which others, and which can be executed simultaneously, all without explicit program direction.
If we go back to our musician, it now appears that there are a lot more opportunities for threading than the obvious ones. We have 10 separate digits on 2 hands, a tongue, lips, cheeks, a larynx, and much more. However, we don't want to thread just because we can. Let's say we write the musician program with 30 separate threads of execution. What happens when we run the program on a 1 or 2 core processor? We will likely see a loss in performance due to the overhead of thread creation, destruction, and switching.
It's all a juggling act. We have to find the balance for threading. We want enough threads so that we can realize a performance gain, but not so many that the gain is overtaken by threading overhead. But it isn't really a question of whether a given task can be threaded; that's just an issue of task granularity.

Live art is a mixture of "fine art and live performance" and is becoming increasingly popular at special events. It was a privilege mixing our own art as filmmakers with John's art as a painter and sculptor. Enjoy the video!

...aka: Eye of the Evil Dead
...aka: Malocchio, Il
...aka: Possessed, The
Directed by:
Lucio Fulci
Filmed as Il malocchio (or The Evil Eye), this is a minor, surprisingly restrained effort from Italian splatter-master Fulci. George Hacker (Christopher Connelly) is an American archaeologist in Egypt (where part of this was filmed) with his wife (Martha Taylor) and daughter in a creepy Exorcist / Omen inspired opening. After acquiring a cursed medallion, he's temporarily blinded by blue light and returns to New York to recover. There, his young daughter Susie (Brigitta Boccoli) becomes possessed by an evil spirit. Sand, cobras and scorpions show up in the apartment, characters are transported back to Egypt and, in the only gory part, stuffed birds come to life to peck a guy named (insert ROSEMARY'S BABY reference here) Adrian Mercato's face apart. Some of the camerawork and music is good, but the typically bad dubbing and choppy editing detract from the overall effect. Cinzia De Ponti, as an au pair named Jamie Lee (get it?), was a former Miss Italy. Also in the cast are Giovanni Frezza (the annoying little blonde kid from THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY) as the son, Cosimo Cinieri and Carlo De Mejo. Fulci also appears in a cameo as a doctor. Not likely to please most of the director's fans, this is watchable yet skippable.

Heavy rain and high winds prompted tornado and thunderstorms warnings for several areas south of Chicago Monday.
NBC 5 weather models showed rain picking up during the afternoon with a few storms possible after 7 p.m., especially south of the city.
The National Weather Service issued a Tornado Watch for several counties south of Chicago and in central Illinois, including Will, Kankakee, Grundy, Jasper and Livingston counties in Illinois and Jasper, Porter, Newton, Lake and Benton counties in Northwest Indiana. The watch remains in effect until 10 p.m.
A Tornado Warning was also issued for Kankakee County that remained in effect until 9 p.m.
Storms in some areas were forecast to produce wind gusts of about 60 mph, according to the NWS, as well as very heavy rainfall and occasional cloud-to-ground lightning.
Rain likely will be widely scattered across the area, and any threat of storms continues into Monday night. Storms could produce up to two inches of rain and result in the rise of rivers and streams.
Scattered showers become possible again on Tuesday, and the chance for rain remains through Thursday. Temperatures hover around the mid-60s for most of the week.
Monday's potentially severe weather comes after a picture-perfect day for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Race-time highs in the mid-50s prepped elite runners for a possible course record but no records were set.

Nowhere To Run, No Place To Hide Lyrics
Artist: Caliban
Album: The Awakening
No regrets!
You caused me so much pain
I can still feel the wounds
You left on my tortured skin
I won't forget your chainsaw
And the games you played
Come on little angel, will you play my game?
I'm full of hate
And this hate is eternal
Are you sure you want this fight?
I'll fight with all my heart
There is no time to pray, no time to cry
I'll fight with all my hate
There's nowhere to run, no place to hide
You kept me in this dark hole
It was like living hell
With my open wounds that never healed
You gave me my own blood
You took it from my heart
But now I'm free again
And I'll come for you
And now is the time to strike back
It will be hard and painful
No mercy any more
There is no more forgiveness!
I'll fight with all my hate
There's nowhere to run, no place to hide
Caliban Lyrics

Aims: Importance of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) testing in cancer is increasing, and in the other hand, there is a hypothesis about roles of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in gastric cancer (GC) development. We seek to investigate the HER-2 expression in the presence of H. pylori infection in patients with gastric GC and precancerous lesions. Subjects and Methods: From 224 archived blocks, 58 samples with chronic gastritis, 58 intestinal metaplasia (IM), 58 gastric dysplasias, and 50 gastric adenocarcinoma cases were selected as our principal groups. Each group was subdivided into H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative subgroups. Immunohistochemical method was performed for detection of HER-2 expression in gastric biopsies using a polyclonal antibody. The staining intensity was quantified and differences among groups were compared using Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests. P < 0.05 was set as statistically significant. Results: Results showed that HER-2 expression among the four principal groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was a significant increase of immunohistochemical expression of HER-2 in H. pylori-positive chronic gastritis in comparison with H. pylori-negative subgroup (P < 0.05). Difference of HER-2 expression between H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative subgroups in dysplasia, IM, and GC groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The present study proposed that HER-2 overexpression in gastric tissues probably had important roles in the progression of cancer and above-mentioned process was probably associated with H. pylori infection in the early stages of precancerous lesions.
Keywords: Adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, gastritis, Helicobacter pylori, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2

This week I published an article defending DICE's choice to feature a female Stormtrooper as the main character in the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront 2. I have literally never defended DICE before and I have nothing but disdain for Star Wars Battlefront, but I cannot stand badly made arguments and that's exactly what all the sexist bullshit since the trailer dropped is. I published this article on Gaming Rebellion but here's the introduction:
Recently the Star Wars Battlefront 2 trailer was released and the most surprising news of all was not only does this game actually have a single player campaign, but apparently it stars a female Stormtrooper. If you haven't watched it, I've embedded it here so you can now. It's certainly worth the two minutes. Did people complain about the fact that the trailer kind of ignores the chronology of Star Wars? No, not really. Did people complain that the game campaign appears to place you as a member of the Empire instead of the Rebellion? Not from any comments I've seen as of yet. Did people complain about the fact that the game makes it seem like the Imperial troops were genuinely unhappy about the end of their tyrannical dictatorship? Not in the slightest. Did people complain that the campaign appears to star a female protagonist? This is the internet. Of course they did.
You can read the rest right here. Please check out my Author's Archive for other articles by me on Gaming Rebellion.

What is it?
An update to Photoshop's Web Photo Gallery was long overdue; the design and format of the gallery templates hadn't kept pace with the real world forcing web-savvy photographers to look elsewhere for Web galleries to match the sophistication of their Web site. Well search no more, Adobe updated and consolidated Web Photo Gallery, Contact Sheet, Picture Package and PDF Presentation into the Output To Web or PDF panel.
The only downside to the Output to Web or PDF panel is the lack of tools for creating standardized presets. This is one of the cornerstones of an a efficient workflow and the inability to save presets is a disappointment, particularly since they are present in Lightroom.
This new panel allows you to build, and preview within Bridge PDF contact sheets, picture packages and HTML or Flash Web galleries. Before you can begin using the Output to Web and PDF panel, you need to first activate it in Bridge Preferences using the following steps:
1) Open Bridge Preferences (Bridge CS4>Preferences (Mac), or Edit>Preferences (Win)) select the Startup Scripts tab and click on the Auto Collection CS4 heading. Alternatively, you can select Enable All to activate all Startup scripts. Press Ok.
2) Quit, then relaunch Bridge. Startup Scripts are only activated when the application is launched.
Why is it important?
Anyone needing to share photos with clients will benefit from the speed and ease in creating client approval documents, either printed or online. What's more, the improvements in Bridge cascade through every stage of the editing process, saving you time at every step, from image download, through image selection, to the application of metadata and delivery to the client. This compounds the benefits from each improvement minimizing the time you spend processing images.
Bonus Tip: Once you've configured Bridge with the login and username for your Web site, publishing your Web galleries becomes a one-click process.
Check out a sample gallery here.
