As a Palm-wielding Python guy, I took news of the Python port for the iPod as another cruel slap. I use Pippy, but being Python 1.5.2 it's pretty limited. The increased power (and screen real estate) of the TX over previous Palms I've had has made me more desirous of having an actual programming environment. There are ports for Zaurus, EPOC, and Nokia Series 60 phones (which I mentioned last summer). It's sinking in that things aren't likely to change until the faraway Linux-based PalmOS arrives.
Time to start looking for a used Zaurus 5500 on Ebay...
That's great news. I've been a little depressed over what appears to be a slowing down of palm development ( let alone python on the palm). Progect and PDesk, the latter written in python, are two palm-related applications I use almost every day.
Nokia just came out with a Linux based PDA-like gadget called the Nokia 770. Python has been ported to this device. The big selling point is the screen is an amazing 800 x 480 resolution.
http://www.nokiausa.com/770 http://pymaemo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/
I have to say I recently bought a Sharp Zaurus SL C-3100 so I could fill my "python on a PDA" need. I put python-2.4.2, tcl/tk, tkinter, numarray, and matplotlib on it. Pricey, but quite a nice pocket workstation!
Excellent, thanks for the comments. From the little I know about the Nokia and the Zaurus, if money were no object I'd go for either one. I imagine at some point falling prices and rising desire will intersect.

Today, I wanted to speak on something that is very important to me – my spiritual journey; more specifically – my journey with God.
So, recently, I have made my spiritual life more of a priority but it wasn't always that way.
I grew up going to church. Since, I became aware of myself, my family and I always went to church. We went every Sunday and we went for fellowships on Sunday evenings. When I turned 5/6/7 years old (can't exactly remember the age), one of our teachers in church started a Bible club at her house. Actually, I'm not sure if she just started it or she started it a while ago but she was doing it at her house anyway and my siblings, some of my friends and I started going there.
Basically, I spent my life doing all the things that I thought I had to do as a Christian but without really understanding it or knowing what it really meant. Even when I was in secondary school, I spent my time doing all those things till the moment where I became Christian Worship Prefect. Not to say I never believed but it didn't completely made sense to me and it was easy to whine and complain and blame God when things went left.
And things went left…
In 2014, when I was in uni., I went through this deep depression phase. I had always been in and out of depression but this was more serious. I was dating a guy who I really loved and when he broke my heart and kept breaking it, it just triggered this really bad time in my life. All through 2014, 2015 and almost all of 2016, I was really depressed. I had suicidal thoughts. There was a moment where I attempted. Basically, life was real shitty.
Then something changed. Halfway through 2016, I started to see the beauty of life in some way. It wasn't anything specific and it wasn't like I hadn't ever before. It's just that I started to feel like everything will be okay. Then I had an accident and that was like the first wave. The second wave came days later when I read the book that Toke Makinwa wrote. Even though the book was on relationships, something in me clicked.
The accident and the book for some reason made me want to know God in a different way than I did before. So, I decided to understand God more – His love, His peace, His kindness and His sacrifice.
Since then. I have been on a path of knowing God more. It has been great and while there have been moments of doubts and I am in no way close to perfection, God has been faithful and patient with me and loving me through the process.
While I still have moments of depression every now and then, I know that I can depend on God and that He is there for me.
This journey is one that I have decided to take for the rest of my life and my hope and my prayer is to keep on growing in the faith and in the spirit.
I felt moved to share this story as a sort of testimony. If only one person resonates with this story, then it would have been worth it.
As times goes on, I'll keep on sharing updates on my journey and I hope you will still be here then.
🙂 🙂
Till then my darlings.
Stay blessed always.

Hello Lacquer Luvers! I hope you all are having a great weekend so far. I don't have plans today besides cleaning the house & washing clothes but tomorrow we are planning a trip to the beach. I cannot wait! I've been wanting to go for about a month or two now. Anywho, as promised yesterday, today's post features a newly released polish by Sinful Colors called Cinderella. The entire time I was doing this manicure I thought about my sister. Cinderella was her absolute favorite movie when we were kids. To this day, she still loves it & even has some Cinderella things around her house.
I began my manicure today with a base coat of Essie Grow Faster followed by three coats of Sinful Colors Cinderella. I would describe Cinderella as baby blue with pink glass flecks that shift to gold. It really does remind me of her beautiful ball gown. This polish has a sheer/milky quality which makes for 3-4 coats to reach full opacity. Next time I will layer this beauty over a light blue such as Bettina's Peppermint. I really liked the formula for this polish. It wasn't runny or thick & just sort of glides onto your nails. Dry time, however, was long because of the three coats I used.
Aren't the glass flecks in this stunning? It is just so beautiful to me and unlike any other blue polish I've seen before.
|Photo Credit: http://www.cinderellainfo.com/album/cinderell-glass-slipper/cinderell-glass%20slipper35.html
For nail art, I found the perfect image plate that went with the Cinderella theme! Bundle Monster's BM-213 plate has a high heel shoe design that reminded me of Cinderella's glass slipper. I used Konad Special Stamping Polish in white and stamped the image onto all of my nails. I finished this manicure with a coat of Essie's Good To Go topcoat.
Do I love this manicure? Yes, yes I do! I've always been a fan of Disney movies & this one allows me to relive some great times during my childhood. It made me miss my sister tons, too. What do you all think Lacquer Luvers? Would you wear this manicure? How do you like the glass slipper image? As always, I hope you all liked this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you, xo!

The 80 cast and crew members involved in the making of the movie that has roiled much of the Islamic world said Wednesday they were "grossly misled" about its intent and expressed sorrow over the resulting violence.
"The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer," they said in a statement to CNN about the movie, "Innocence of Muslims."
"We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose," continued the statement, which was sent to CNN by a member of the production staff who asked not to be identified for security reasons. "We are shocked by the drastic rewrites of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."
Terry Jones, the Florida pastor whose Quran-burning last year sparked deadly riots in Afghanistan, said he had been contacted to help distribute the film.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called Jones on Wednesday to ask him to withdraw his support for the film, according to Col. David Lapan, Dempsey's spokesman.
"Jones' support of the film risks causing more violence and death," Lapan said.
Facebook sprouted several pages dedicated to condemning the film, including one called "Israelis, Jews & Americans Against Sam Bacile's 'Innocence of Muslims' Film."
A post on that page simply said: "IM-Bacile."

Israel needs to come to terms with Turkey's superpower status in the Middle East, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz said during a recent speech at the Washington Institute.
Mofaz underlined the importance of mending ties between Israel and Turkey, defining it as "necessary for the strategic goals of Israel and for the strategic goals of Turkey."
Mofaz called on leaders of both nations to put their differences behind and work toward better relations, according to the Washington Institute.
The former allies have become foes as a result of Turkey's objections to Israel's treatment of Palestinians.
In its lowest point, Israeli commandos killed eight Turks and one Turkish-American in a 2010 raid on the Mavi Marmara ship that was leading a flotilla attempting to break the Israeli embargo of the Gaza Strip.
Turkey last year downgraded diplomatic relations and cut all military ties with Israel as a result of the raid.
Hürriyet Daily News / 20.6.2012
İsrail Başbakan Yardımcısı Şaul Mofaz, herkesin, Türkiye'nin artık bölgesinde bir süper güç haline geldiğini anlaması gerektiğini belirterek, "Türkiye ile geçmişte olduğu gibi stratejik ilişkilerimiz olmalı. Artık geçmişi geride bırakıp geleceğe bakmalıyız" dedi.
Mofaz, Washington Institute adlı düşünce kuruluşunda verdiği konferansta, "Türkiye-İsrail ilişkilerinin düzeltileceği yönünde İsrail tarafında bir umudun olup olmadığı" şeklindeki soruyu yanıtladı.
Türkiye ile ilişkilerin çok önemli olduğunu vurgulayan Mofaz, "Özellikle İsrail'de olmak üzere hepimiz, Türkiye'nin bölgesinde bir süper güç haline geldiğini anlamalıyız. Türkiye'yi bölgemizde bir süper güç olarak görüyorum, bunda hiçbir şüphe yok" dedi.

SET senior VP and programming head Anupama Mandloi quits
MUMBAI: Sony Entertainment India (SET) India senior VP and programming head Anupama Mandloi has resigned.
After a nine-and-a-half-year stint at the flagship channel SET, Mandloi officially says goodbye to the organisation tomorrow.
For the near term, recently appointed chief creative director Sandiip Sikcand (former Balaji creative head ) will be overseeing Mandloi's responsibilities. However, according to sources, the organisation has not taken any final call on whether to have a replacement for her position.
In her time at Sony, Mandloi has held various positions --- from on-air programming director, on-air programming head, creative director, to senior VP and programming head. She was also instrumental in setting up Sony's flanking channel SAB TV, which was bought out last year.
Prior to Sony, Mandloi worked with Plus Channel. She has also worked on projects with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt.

One wonders if they will 'tax' them a portion of their profits too??? Sigh...ReplyDelete
What has happened is someone paid to have their lawn mowed and didn't like the result but they couldn't remember who is was that mowed the lawn. This person (probably one of the Council members) decided the way to prevent this is to have everyone who mows a lawn to have a license. I can tell you from experience that when it became necessary for door to door solicitors to have a license that the burglaries in the community went down. What has happened is common sense is dead and replaced with the concept that everyone must be at the same level of misery just to be fair.ReplyDeleteReplies

My aunt and uncle owned a Yazoo in the late 60's-early-70's. I remember being intrigued by the design even at a very young age. I suppose it was because the mower was "different" to the majority of push models I had seen with it's huge back wheels.Delete

I mowed with a "Sunbeam" that had an oil air cleaner. I got it out of the trash of a neighbor, did a little maintenance on the unit and went on to make money. It wasn't a great amount, but as a teen, all I really needed to finance was my hobbies...ReplyDelete

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., September 14, 2017 – The results are in! After two rounds of voting, Eggland's Best (EB) is thrilled to announce the Grand Prize winner in the 2017 "Foodtography" Contest. Taking home the $5,000 Grand Prize is former Food Network CHOPPED CHAMPION Lisa Keys of Pennsylvania who entered a mouthwatering photo of her Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie Bowl Cake recipe, featuring Eggland's Best eggs.
"Creating my Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie Bowl Cake recipe for the Eggland's Best 'Foodtography' Contest has been so much fun, and I'm extremely excited to be named the Grand Prize Winner," said Lisa Keys. "I'm a huge fan of Eggland's Best, and I always make sure my family's meals are more nutritious and better tasting by only using Eggland's Best eggs."
The Eggland's Best "Foodtography" Contest challenged EB fans to submit photos of their most delicious Eggland's Best dishes. Lisa's eye-catching cake was inspired by the latest trends in smoothie bowls. Fruit and yogurt smoothies are a popular dish in her household, so she decided to take it to the next level by creating a cake using Eggland's Best eggs.
"The number of top-quality submissions received in our first-ever 'Foodtography' contest was astounding, and we are extremely pleased to congratulate Lisa Keys on being our Grand Prize Winner," said Charlie Lanktree, President and CEO of Eggland's Best. "The contest showcased the talent of our EB fans, who appreciate the better taste, nutrition, quality, and freshness of Eggland's Best eggs, that can make any recipe better."
Photos were judged based on photographic quality, creativity and originality. Semi-Finalists winners were first selected, and then narrowed down to the top four Finalists through consumer voting on the EB website. Eggland's Best then called on fans again to help determine which of the four finalist photos would earn the title of Grand Prize Winner.
"This contest has shown us that any meal can be delicious and nutritious when using Eggland's Best eggs," says Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner. "Using a better egg like EB makes for a more nutritious and tasty dish, which is why they are the only eggs I recommend to my clients and serve my family."
Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs contain six times more vitamin D, 25 percent less saturated fat, more than double the Omega-3s, ten times more vitamin E and more than double the vitamin B12. EB eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and vitamin B5. EB's superior nutritional profile is due to its proprietary all-vegetarian hen feed that contains healthy grains, canola oil and a wholesome supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E. Eggland's Best eggs have won superior taste awards for 16 consecutive years from a number of prestigious organizations including the American Masters of Taste. In addition, independent testing has revealed that Eggland's Best eggs have stronger shells than ordinary eggs, which leads to less breakage and helps them stay fresher longer than ordinary eggs.

MALCOLM Turnbull has sharply criticised the corrupting power of money in the US and described America as looking ''like a country that is barely governed''.
In an interview with The Monthly, published today, the former Liberal leader and member of Tony Abbott's shadow cabinet says American politics is becoming ''profoundly dysfunctional''.
He attacks the Republican idea that the budgetary situation can be improved by cutting the taxes of the wealthy as ''just bizarre'', and describes the right-wing Tea Party as extreme, reactionary and radical.
Author Robert Manne writes: ''He thinks that American voluntary voting encourages Republican extremism and the search for 'hot-button issues', like abortion or guns or gay marriage or Obama as a secret Muslim.
''He is concerned about the fragmentation of opinion and collapse of the rational centre. He is profoundly concerned about the 'self-evident' corrupting influence of 'the power of money'.''
Mr Turnbull is very critical of the Iraq war - in which Australia was an enthusiastic US ally under the Howard government: ''The argument for saying it was a mistake and misconceived is a very powerful one … There are plenty of people on both sides of politics in the US who take that view.''
Mr Turnbull, who agreed to the interview on condition he would not be asked about Mr Abbott, says climate change denialism is ''contrary to the views of, I think, just about everybody in the Coalition party room''.
Manne notes Mr Abbott once described as ''absolute crap'' the view that climate scientists had a consensus position.

Wander Alarm Systems
Managing Wandering Patients:
Patients suffering from Alzheimer's or Dementia may have a tendency to wander. Our Elpas Wander Alarm Systems from Centrak automatically notify nursing staff of unsafe patient wandering, thereby increasing both patient security and staff efficiency.
The Connexus Communications Centrak manufactured Elpas wander alarm system equips each wandering patient with a triple technology device that immediately notifies staff when the patient wanders into a pre-defined unsafe area, for example near exit doors, stairwells where thy may be at risk of a fall and utility/service or lift lobbies. TheElpas wander alarm system reports the associated wandering patient's location in real-time to the nursing staff, and the exit door in closest proximity to the wandering patient can be automatically locked.
The Elpas wander alarm system is scalable from a local single door solution to facility-wide coverage and full integration with Nurse Call, IPDect, WiFi Cordless Telephony, door locking, elevator control is also possible.

Acerca de Gucci Mane
The year 2005 was like yin and yang for Atlanta bling rapper Gucci Mane. He enjoyed success entering the charts with his first national hit, "Icy," became involved in a quarrel with that song's collaborator, Young Jeezy, and found himself facing murder charges in the Georgia courts. Before his career as a rapper, Gucci Mane, whose birth name is Radric Davis, loved to write poetry when he was in elementary school. He moved to Atlanta from Birmingham, AL, with his single mother during the fourth grade. Since progressing to rap was a fairly easy step, Gucci Mane already had spent time in a recording studio by the age of 14. The glamour and sense of fashion of rappers like Big Daddy Kane motivated him to put words to music. His locally played debut single, "Black Tee," earned him a contract with Big Cat Records, and in May 2005 the label released his debut album, Trap House, which stood at the number one spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
The beef with Young Jeezy originated from a fight over the rights to the album's "Icy" hit single, which spawned a number of dis tracks traded between the two. Within the same month of his LP's release, Gucci Mane was arrested for murder following an altercation in which he shot at a group of five men who burst into his friend's house, threatening to kill the rapper. As it turned out, the murdered attacker was an associate of Young Jeezy, but he has denied any involvement with the incident. Gucci Mane declared in court that it was self-defense, and by January 2006, Georgia prosecutors dropped all charges, citing lack of evidence. After being released from jail (on charges unrelated to the murder) that same month, he quickly went back into the studio to make his second album, Hard to Kill, which was released in October. He took the song "Go Head" from his first album and made it the lead single for the second in order to make up for the time taken away from promoting Trap House. The State vs. Radric Davis, his second official album, was released in December 2009 following a dizzying array of mixtapes. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi

Snowboarding im LED-Anzug in der französischen Rhône-Alpes-Region. Starke Bilder.
Fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton swaps the studio for the slopes of Tignes in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France, with a luminous after hours short starring Artec pro snowboarder William Hughes. The electrifying film sees Hughes light up the snow-covered French hills in a bespoke L.E.D.-enveloped suit courtesy of designer and electronics whizz John Spatcher. "I was really drawn to the idea of a lone character made of light surfing through darkness," says Sutton of his costume choice. "I've always been excited by unusual ways of lighting things, so it seemed like an exciting idea to make the subject of the film the only light source." Sutton, who has created work for the likes of Hermès, Burberry and The New York Times, spent three nights on a skidoo with his trusty Red Epic camera at temperatures of -25C to snap Hughes carving effortlessly through the deep snow, even enlisting his own father to help maintain the temperamental suit throughout the demanding shoot.

BOMA International Winter Business Meeting 2016
Share This Article
The BOMA winter business meeting happens in DC every other year and offers an opportunity to review critical legislative issues and communicate the concerns of commercial real estate to Congress. Essentially BOMA members get to speak directly to our elected officials. This post contains photos and observations from the BOMA International Winter Business meeting 2016.
Our first stop was the office of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Senator Feinstein has served California in this role since 1992 and formerly served for nine years as a San Francisco County Supervisor. She became mayor of San Francisco in 1978 following the assassination of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.
Upon entering the meeting room, our BOMA group was greeted by the Senator's staffers and sat down at a long wooden table to await the presence of Senator Feinstein. The air was a little tense and you could feel the electricity of excitement in the room.
The door opened and the Senator took control of the room. As she individually greeted our BOMA contingent, she handed out coins and told us what she would like to drink. It is a military tradition to hand out a signature coin as a token to new acquaintances whom then, the next time they see you, are indebted to buy you a drink. The next time I see Senator Feinstein, I owe her a cosmopolitan.
After exchanging the pleasantries of meeting an elected official, Ken Cleaveland of BOMA San Francisco, got down to business.
There were three items in which BOMA California was tasked with bringing to the attention of our representatives. The list below is an overview of the issues important to the owners and managers of commercial real estate from California:
1) A request for the Senator's support of a 15 year sprinkler retrofit depreciation allowance (HR 3591/S 2068). This would incentivize building owners to install automatic sprinkler systems in older properties and create thousands of jobs in the construction industry while providing greater safety to the public.
2) A request to reform the 179d energy tax credit program to make it more flexible and useful to California property owners. Currently the energy tax credit isn't helpful to California building owners because our own Title 24 energy code requirements have elevated our energy efficiency upgrades to the point that a 50% increase in energy efficiency is an impossible threshold to meet in all but the rarest circumstances. The energy tax credit needs to be flexible and graduated so that all energy efficiency upgrades are rewarded with an appropriate tax incentive.
3) Our request that the Senator look into introducing legislation that would address the continuing issue of "drive by" ADA lawsuits. As was pointed out at our meeting, the opportunistic lawyers who are filing these lawsuits are no longer filing in state court, but are filing directly in Federal court, bypassing the process established under state law for proper notification and verification of the accessibility barrier and allowing the defendant a certain amount of time to "cure" the problem. The Senator has been a rational voice on this issue for many years. We look to her to help create legislation that would reduce the legal costs involved in these cases and allow those funds to be better used toward removing barriers for the disabled. There are two bills currently in the House that address this issue, and which have bipartisan support. (HR 3765, HR 241)
The Senator's staff took notes and asked our contingent to follow up with information regarding the "drive by" ADA lawsuits that are being filed directly in Federal court and assured us that they will look into our other concerns. As the meeting wrapped up, Ken Cleaveland thanked the Senator and her staff for their time, and our California BOMA group was on to the next meeting with more elected officials.

- Offers extensive coverage at local, regional, national and international levels
- Includes complete electronic editions of thousands of large and small news sources worldwide, many unavailable elsewhere
This comprehensive collection of full-text news sources provides extensive coverage at every level—local, state, regional, national and international. A fully searchable online resource, Access World News features most major U.S. news sources circulation, plus many hard-to-find local and regional titles that are unavailable elsewhere. Additionally, Access World News offers more than 5,900 U.S. and international news sources from 172 countries on six continents.
News can happen anywhere
When news breaks in small towns or large cities across the U.S. and around the globe, Access World News enables researchers to gain valuable local perspectives by zeroing in on the sources closest to the events. Updated daily, Access World News fully supports the needs of students and faculty with more than 528 million current and archived news articles. Researchers can pinpoint information and compare diverse viewpoints, as well as track subjects geographically and over time with the deepest news archives available.
One-click access to global perspectives
Access World News features an intuitive, map-based interface—developed in partnership with librarians—which can be customized to highlight specific news sources and to meet the unique needs of students, faculty and staff. Without training, users can easily select and search a single news source, multiple titles across a state, region or country, or all the sources in the collection.
Intuitive interface improves search results
With NewsBank's intuitive interface, users can pinpoint useful information and navigate quickly and efficiently through millions of articles. Access World News also supports OpenURLs, so librarians can use persistent links in materials, as well as MARC records, so researchers can link directly from the OPAC to each newspaper's search page. Finally, users can easily browse, print and email articles.
"Access World News is very good to give general background information on topics, and to give examples that are straight to the point. Both local news and news from other regions are used, but we find the ability to search through local Texas news to be very valuable. As a recent example as how we used the collection, we had a case where students and faculty found very good information on local articles and editorials on the new HPV vaccine. This certainly helped them to have a better understanding and knowledge on this relevant and recent topic."
— Angela Delgado, Reference Librarian & Head of Public Services, Concordia University Texas
I had a student who had placed an Inter-Library Loan request for a newspaper article. The request was cancelled because there was no library that could supply a copy of the article. When the student came to me for assistance we were able to see that the newspaper was available in Access World News. We found the article. The student was delighted. She was also excited to know that this newspaper was in the database and decided to look for more articles on her subject"
—Caroline Reed, Director or Research, Instruction and Outreach Services, New College of Florida
"Access World News has allowed us to add to our collections many daily newspapers from home and abroad, while highlighting titles most important to our readers and researchers."
—Debora Cheney, Head, The News and Social Sciences Libraries, Pennsylvania State University
"Access World News has been a wonderful tool for our patrons because of the world coverage. Since many of our courses cover international matters, it is very important that our students be able to retrieve a variety of perspectives besides the ones expressed in U.S. newspapers, and AWN allows for this. Our patrons find that the searching capabilities, especially by any variety of geographic regions, are excellent and easy to use."
—Sherry Mosley, Head, Government Documents Department, Green Library, Florida International University
"The opportunity to research different perspectives from around the world is what really distinguishes Access World News."
—Robert Meeker, Academic Library Coordinator, Chicago State University
"The Florida Newspapers search is great. Students are always researching local topics like the environment, tourism, the development of FGCU (Florida Gulf Coast University), local politics, etc. I've also used the international news frequently for topics on U.S. international relations or literacy or human rights in other countries. I have Access World News on several guides and teach it when I'm in resort development, advertising, and international marketing classes. It's a great resource to find tourism data, company, and product information."
—Rebecca Donlan, Assistant Director for Collection Management, Florida Gulf Coast University
"I am an embedded librarian at a university. In this capacity, I become part of the class. I have access to assignments and my primary responsibility is to assist students with research. I rely on Newsbank for both lower and upper division classes. Some classes have assignments that require students to find information on current events, both national and global. At times, students have to follow the progression of these events. Newsbank is an excellent resource for these assignments. As well, Newsbank is a great resource for historical or background information. I teach students how to use Newsbank and I usually introduce them to the advanced features that this database provides. I especially encourage students to make personal accounts so that they can easily keep and organize their sources. In addition to being embedded in specific classes, I provide information literacy classes to freshman classes. I often point out to these students that Newsbank provides an outstanding way to keep up with current events in their hometowns!"
— Barbara VanHooser, Embedded Librarian, Tennessee State University
"When someone comes to us looking for biographical information, we almost always direct them to NewsBank products: America's Obituaries and Death Notices for the obituaries, which often include short biographies, and Access World News for articles providing fuller coverage on the lives of the deceased."
— Debra Bloom, Information Services Librarian, Richland County Public Library, Columbia, South Carolina

"For 18 days we have withstood teargas, rubber bullets, live ammunition, Molotov cocktails, thugs on horseback, the skepticism and fear of our loved ones and the worst sort of ambivalence from an international community that claims to care about democracy. But we held our ground. We did it."
These are the words of protester Karim Medhat Ennarah, who spoke with tears in his eyes, responding to President Mubarak's resignation Friday.
Mohamed Gamal, one of Egypt's embattled bloggers, captured the idealism of a new generation willing to risk their lives and freedom for the hope of democracy.
"We were dreaming of democracy and new governments."
The inspiring images of peaceful protestors spontaneously assembling by the hundreds of thousands, in pursuit of this dream, should remind Americans that the freedoms we so often take for granted, rest precariously on our willingness to engage in politics.
One protestor told the New York Times: "We need democracy in Egypt... We just want what you have."
But what do we have?
America once believed change happened through politics, but the rising generation isn't convinced. Those under 30 are not simply tuned out; they volunteer in record numbers. However, public service once meant serving the government; it now means joining a nonprofit.
A Harvard Institute of Politics poll reports: "Whereas 85% of students under 30 saw serving in a nonprofit as the path to good public service, only 15% saw elective office in the same terms."
In fact, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service, volunteerism in America is at a 30-year high. Yet volunteering is decreasing dramatically in only one area: politics. Since 1989, the percentage of those volunteering in politics has dropped 48%.
The election of Barack Obama in 2008 saw record levels of new and young voters, but two years later, only 22% went to the polls. As John Della Volpe, Director of Polling for Harvard's Institute of Politics, said, "Millions of young people are losing faith in government, politics and in many cases -- the American dream."
I've personally encountered that those doing public service aren't just indifferent to politics; they are repelled by it.
Recently, when I told a group of young nonprofit volunteers in California that I train nonprofit organizations how to engage in policy, one guest responded with, "Yuck!"
At another meeting in which I spoke on how to engage politically, one participant asked, "You work with politicians?" and mockingly wiped his hands as if tainted by having shaken my hand.
But the reality is that politics still matters. In fact, you can't change the world if you don't change the policy. Laws and regulations are still significant. Changing one small bit of legislation in Washington can change the lives of millions.
Those who turn their backs, and wash their hands, of politics are forfeiting the arena to interests with the tenacity to stay and fight. Chances are, those interests probably aren't fighting for justice.
All of the great social changes in our history have occurred only when citizens have combined their vision with direct involvement in public policy. In the 1980s, when a diagnosis of AIDS was a virtual death sentence, the political system and much of society at first turned its back, renouncing responsibility. This too often left victims to die alone and in pain.
Then, something remarkable and unpredictable happened. A generation of activists refused to sit and watch. Instead, they decided to fill the vacuum. Many volunteered to help with weekly visits. Others took to the streets with slogans such as "Silence = Death" and "Words are Not Enough."
We also realized, however, that if we were going to secure the resources, laws and policies needed to effectively combat this epidemic, we would have to fight for them in the policy arena.
We organized and mastered the inner workings of government agencies, such as the FDA, where we learned the rules, made allies and succeeded in "fast tracking" experimental drugs.
We built a bipartisan response from our federal government. We informed our leaders and persuaded them to act. It didn't just happen; it took planning, strategy, scores of meetings and tough arguments and compromise.
It takes real work in the real world, which is the only way anything worthwhile is accomplished in a democracy.
If AIDS activists had decided that politics was too dirty or too pointless to engage in, we would still be burying our young in record numbers. Imagine how Africa would look today, if members of the AIDS generation had turned their backs on politics and policy-making.
Politicians' egos, disappointment with the president, and the narcissism of television talking heads alienates Americans from their democracy. However, there are signs of hope.
New leaders are emerging from the Facebook generation. One is Cole Bockenfeld, a 24 year old working to strengthen support for peaceful democratic reform throughout the Middle East at the Project on Middle East Democracy. He states, "What's going on in Egypt is incredibly exciting. Young people in Egypt are driving the movement for change and a new democratic political system, while America's youth are apathetic about our own. We need the same energy back at home."
Allen Gannett, a junior at George Washington University, also sees the power in this new movement. He argues, "Many in my generation wrongly believe it's too hard to affect change in the world through politics. Imagine if we all just used the power of our Facebook and Twitter networks to change politics." Allen is putting his vision into practice. At the age of 20, he is the founder of Future Civic Leaders, a program that provides training to low-income high school students in the power of engaging in politics.
We do not know how the pro-democracy protests sweeping through the Middle East will play out; but, they should remind citizens in the United States that our democracy is only as good as each generation's willingness to engage in it.
Let Egypt's dream of democracy remind us of the importance of fighting for our own.
Rich Tafel is the president of Public Squared, a public policy training program for nonprofits and social entrepreneurs.

Voluntary work done by doctors and other professionals from the developed world does a great deal of good in poorer parts of the world, but "service is not development," warns the head of the University of B.C.'s Branch of International Surgery.
"Development requires that something be left behind when the people doing the service have gone home," Dr. Bob Taylor told me last week at a lunch organized by Vancouver philanthropist Gary Segal.
Taylor was there to meet another of my lunchmates, Manlio Dell'Ariccia, the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee's Rome-based country head for Ethiopia. Their aim was to figure out how UBC can both send more surgeons to help meet the country's unmet needs and leave something of lasting value behind through a well-thought-out transfer of skills.
Segal was there to write the cheques that can make it happen. He presented Taylor with $100,000 — about 10 per cent of the net take from his first international fundraiser, a dinner for the who's who of Vancouver last April. The rest of the money is going to support Dell'Ariccia's JDC work in Ethiopia — specifically the work of Dr. Rick Hodes.
Hodes is the American physician I wrote about last January. Based in Addis Ababa, he divides his time between an odd combination of institutions — the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which is a globally active U.S.-based charity, and an Addis Ababa hospital run by Mother Teresa's order of nuns. He specializes in difficult spine deformations, heart problems and cancers, and uses the funds raised internationally on his behalf to send patients to countries such as India, Ghana and even Canada for surgeries that can't be done in Ethiopia.
Much of the million Segal raised will be used to further this work, but some of it — in particular the money donated to Taylor's international surgery branch — will take the initiative to the next level.
"An aim of our organization is to create facilities where people can be treated without having to send them away," Dell'Ariccia said. "We also want to identify spine problems in the early stages when medical intervention can be less expensive. And we want to determine why the incidence of these problems is so high in Ethiopia."
Taylor said having more trained specialists was the top priority identified by a recent World Health Organization analysis in Ethiopia.
For one thing, accessible local care would be far cheaper than sending patients abroad.
"There will always be some cases that can't be treated in Ethiopia, or even nearby countries," he said. "But at an earlier stage a lot of them could be."
I observed to both of them that $100,000 — or even the whole of the million dollars Segal raised — sounds like a drop in the bucket in the context of medical or university budgets in Canada.
Not so in Ethiopia, Dell'Ariccia responded.
"With $100,000 you can do many things. You can send more children abroad for surgery. You can give more scholarships to students who have completed high school. You can put a school in a rural area where children are studying under the trees. You can dig a large number of wells to provide uncontaminated water to many, many people."
And Taylor noted that the $100,000 UBC is getting will also go a long way, given that almost all Canadians involved in international surgery volunteer their time. As a result, it doesn't cost much to send surgeons to Ethiopia to not only do complex work, but also pass on skills to local doctors.
"So it sounds like a lot of money to me."

"The body is an endless sentence, inviting us to rearrange it so that its real meaning becomes a series of endless anagrams."
Feathers of Daedalus is a new circus company founded by Joanna Vymeris. A member of the National Centre for Circus Arts' (NCCA) London Youth Circus, performing in shows directed by Ockham's Razor and Jasmin Vardimon, in her final year at Cambridge, Joanna put on the university's first contemporary circus production, Alice, an immersive retelling of the Lewis Carroll tale, at the ADC theatre and then took it to the Edinburgh Fringe to great acclaim. On the back of this success she developed her current project Coppélia, which strips and rebuilds the ballet, setting circus alongside film, cleverly woven into the frame, and live poetry, written and read by Sophie Leseberg-Smith. Coppélia was awarded artist residency in Studio Kura in Japan last year, and Lab:time support from the Arts Council and the NCCA.
I came across Feathers of Daedalus on Instagram recently, which is where I learned that there would be a couple of Research and Development sharings over two evenings at Jacksons Lane. I couldn't make either date, but Joanna very kindly invited me along to the dress rehearsal, which slotted neatly in between interviewing Casus Circus at Underbelly and returning to watch Driftwood in the evening. Obviously meant to be! I heard via Casus Circus that afternoon that a friend of theirs, Pascal Häring, was in the sharing, but other than that had no idea what to expect.
It came as a wonderful surprise therefore to arrive at Jacksons Lane and find that along with Pascal doing some beautiful turns on Cyr wheel and an oneiric juggling sequence, there was Nathalie Alison (the sinuous Kaa in Metta Theatre's Jungle Book - click here for post) as graceful dancing on the ground as airborne on hoop, Laura Moy (see post on Crashmat Collective - click here) flying on Chinese Pole and Michelle Ross, a soaring trapeze artist and acrobat I also follow on Instagram. I was sorry that I couldn't see their acts in full, as they had to conserve energy for the evening performance, but what I did see of them in action was beautiful.
Something else I was unprepared for, given the piece was set up for an R&D sharing, was that the design and costumes would be so well developed. The set had a steam punk feel and, while this was not an immersive spectacle, there was an air of Punchdrunk laced with gothic romantic tragedy that drew me in. Rather than a linear narrative, Coppélia was split into four parts, revolving around each of the four characters in turn - Dr Coppélia, Coppélia, Franz, and Swanilda. Viewed as a whole it explored the mechanisms of desire, possession and unrequited love.
The period of research and development now over, the production will be going to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer from 3-28 August (www.edinburghfestival.list.co.uk - click here), with the addition of six dancers and a different cast of circus performers: JoshandTess (Joshua Blackman and Tessa Frazer - hand to hand), Pete Shirley (Cyr wheel), all NCCA graduates, and dancer and acrobat Gabbie Cook.
For more information follow Feathers of Daedalus on Facebook and Instagram. Check out @NoelShelley1 production photographs on Instagram & Twitter.

You may remember those all-nighters in school, scrambling to get a paper done that's due the very next day. Sure, you had a month to work on it, but there were more important things to do — like cleaning your room a billion times, making that spreadsheet of all your favorite restaurants you visited in the past year, combing your dog's hair, organizing your record collection alphabetically. Everything was more important than that assignment.
If this sounds like something you've done, then you might just be a world-class procrastinator. But while you may kick yourself for putting things off until the last minute, don't be too quick to judge your procrastination tendencies as a flaw. There are some studies that suggest there are benefits to procrastinating.
That's right. If you procrastinate, you may just be doing things right.
To learn the ways procrastination can actually help you be a better person, keep reading. But do it now. Not tomorrow. Or maybe do it tomorrow. Whatever works for you.
1. You're not letting the "universe manipulate you."
Lou Marinoff, the author of Plato, Not Prozac!, a book which encourages a philosophical approach to modern pressures, says procrastination and idleness fit in the Eastern philosophies of action and inaction, and how they work together.
He says that the right timing of things for procrastinators can end up being better compared to those "do-ers" who spend a lot of time and energy trying to force things. Instead of manipulating the situation, procrastinators go with the flow.
2. You actually get other smaller tasks done.
Dr. Alice Boyes wrote an article in Psychology Today that explained how many of us find other smaller tasks we've been putting off more appealing when we're faced with a big, looming one. When you decide to do those first, the benefits don't just end at checking those off your to-do list. Chances are, completing them will give you an energy boost and the confidence to tackle that larger project you've been putting off.
3. You end up happier when you "manage delays."
Author, university of San Diego professor, and procrastinator Frank Partnoy explains in his book Wait: The Art and Science of Delay that waiting to the last minute to make a decision can actually make you happier. He told Smithsonian magazine that waiting until the last minute gives you more time to process information. His study also found that those who waited to apologize had more of an impact on those they were apologizing to.
4. You end up learning new things.
A New York Times article points to John Perry, a philosopher at Stanford, who explained procrastinators very rarely do nothing. Roy F. Baumeister, a social psychologist at Florida State University, calls this this "Nothing Alternative." This means students would rather learn anything than sit and be bored. When it comes to general active procrastinators, they can get other tasks done or learn new skills, even if they're not doing their "top" priority.
5. You may experience less stress.
Many of the studies on the benefits of procrastination suggest that procrastination is a "state of mind" that can be beneficial. This is because those who don't procrastinate often impose deadlines on themselves about things they "have" to get done. This often results in them never having a time when they don't have something to do. Conversely, procrastinators take a more relaxed approach and are able to see deadlines and what has to get done more clearly.
6. Procrastination leads to effective action.
In a study published by the British Psychological Society, author Anna Abramowski points out that procrastination can increase an individual's performance because "the imminent deadline creates excitement and pressure that elicit peak performance." Instead of being negatively affected by stress, people can actually use it as motivator, producing better work in a shorter amount of time.


text: Communion is one of the most consistent and sacred practices in the Christian world. Instituted by Jesus, the practice is intended to draw people closer to Jesus and each other. Recently, I've been considering what the fullness or complete embodiment of communion is. We have to assume that since Jesus is both the totality of the body and blood that Jesus is the fullness of communion. With this in mind, we do know that Jesus took communion with his disciples. Does this mean that Jesus is still taking communion? Does Jesus take communion with us? I don't think so. I think that Jesus was simply illustrating the way. Furthermore, when we take communion we are moving closer and closer to oneness with Jesus. Since Jesus doesn't take communion, then we should take communion less and less the more and more we become like Jesus. Perhaps, communion is a sign of spiritual poverty and not spiritual health. Maybe communion is evil because it pulls us away from experiencing perfection in Christ. Regardless, we should always be striving to become the communion that people need not worrying about gobbling up communion for ourselves. The incarnation of the body and blood is not a singular event. We are the communion that people need most.

Morning Folks!
I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things after a wonderful half term break, we visited Rome - took in some sights, ate great food and enjoyed a little sunshine!! Shame we had to come back to a rather grey and dull weekend :-(
Warning, my next card is rather bright, probably trying to compensate for the English weather!!
This week, the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers is
We are sponsored by Bugaboo and I had the perfect image waiting patiently in my digi files, it's called Pig Cupcakes! Whenever I look at this image, I always think of Esther the Wonder Pig on Facebook who is rather partial to a cupcake, she always makes me smile.
Here's my card, gone a bit retro on this one very old Dovecraft Papers and a spot of Card Candi which I haven't used in ages; I bought several colours when it was all the rage and now it seems to have gone out of fashion. Anyone else got a few packets tucked away??
Apologies for the photo quality, this was the best of a bad lot taken in the evening!
Thanks for visiting today, and don't forget to pop over to
to see what the rest of the design team have made!
Get creating with your Letraset / Winsor & Newton markers and join us!! Remember you can enter any type of creation, it doesn't have to be a card.
As I said, this week we are generously sponsored by:
The super prize offered is
4 Bugaboo digital stamps of the winner's choice.
I'd also like to enter the following challenges:
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
Brown Sugar Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello. I just wanted to let everybody know that my blog has moved. It is now hosted here: http://itoldyouiwassick.info/
Look forward to seeing you there!
Hello. I just wanted to let everybody know that my blog has moved. It is now hosted here: http://itoldyouiwassick.info/
Look forward to seeing you there!
If you have a child with behavior problems, I understand your frustration. Not from the perspective you'd think, though. I have no children. However, I used to BE a child with behavior problems.
That's why I'm offering my eBook – Food Allergies And Behavioral Problems: Why Your Child Is NOT "Doing It On Purpose" as a free download on my website.
Does this sound like your child? He gets good grades in school but seems puzzled by simple directions. She speaks intelligently yet gets lost on the way to the bathroom in a new house. You often have to call your son's name several times before he turns to look at you and when that doesn't work, tapping him on the shoulder startles him out of his skin?
Your son is often preoccupied to the point of obsession with one specific topic. Your daughter talks endlessly, doesn't seem to understand the concept of listening and becomes tearful or agitated when interrupted. Some of the things she says simply make no sense at all!
What about eye contact? Does your daughter stare at others to the point of being rude? Does your son avoid eye contact and refuse to show respect?
Your first thought may have been that your child has a learning disability but tests prove he or she is actually of high intelligence! You may have then suspected hearing was the problem but those tests have come back with a perfect score. Your child often complains of stomach pain but his pediatrician tells you there's nothing physically wrong with him. At this point, you may have believed the cause to be an emotional disorder or chemical imbalance but the psychiatrist you've taken your child to says he can find nothing wrong either and suggests perhaps this is just "attention-seeking behavior".
Maybe he's right. The stomachaches aren't real; they're just an attempt to get attention. Your daughter is just "acting dumb" by losing her way or misplacing objects. Your son stares at others to intimidate. He just needs more discipline, right?
I can tell you right now that there is a reason your child is acting this way. There is an explanation for the staring or lack of eye contact, the stomach pain, the confusion about social cues, the easy startle reflex and everything else.

Spicy Gluten Free Pasta & Chard
(Serves 4)
1 16oz bag Tinkyada rice pasta (easy-to-digest, best tasting gluten free pasta)
4 Shelton's turkey breakfast sausage (gluten free, free range turkey) cut into bite-sized pieces
1 bunch Swiss chard (dark, leafy greens are an excellent source of fiber and essential nutrients)
2 garlic cloves (powerful antifungal, antibacterial)
1 red bell pepper
6-10 grape tomatoes
Salt & cayenne pepper to taste (cayenne is a great anti-inflammatory)
½ cup extra virgin olive oil (anti-inflammatory)
¼ cup apple cider vinegar (gluten free)
1-cup plain yogurt (good source of probiotics)
If turkey sausage is in the freezer, lay it out to thaw a bit so it will be easier to cut into bite-sized pieces.
Cook rice pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, fill a large bowl with water, chop up Swiss chard and place it in the water to soak. This will remove the naturally occurring sand and soil in the greens.
Rinse and chop bell pepper and tomatoes. Slice garlic. Lay aside.
Once pasta is finished cooking, drain, rinse with cool water and put in large bowl.
Remove Swiss chard from bowl of water, place in colander and rinse thoroughly. Using paper towel, dry chard, removing as much water as possible to avoid popping when it's fried.
Chop the 4 turkey sausages into bite-sized pieces. Lightly coat a large skillet with a tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Cook sausages until desired crispness is reached.
Add Swiss chard, bell pepper and garlic, reduce heat stirring occasionally. Once chard has cooked down, remove skillet from heat. Mix into pasta.
Add ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar and 1-cup plain yogurt. Fold in tomatoes and add salt and cayenne to taste.
Serve & enjoy!

Currently, WIN Romania Chapter has 165 members.
As an ongoing concern, WIN members aim effective, open and honest communication with the public, everything from a human perspective. Effective communication is a balanced integration of emotions and reasons of people's information by people at three different levels: ethical values and emotions, economic, scientific and technical.
In the winter of 1993, the communicators in the nuclear-PIME congress, held in the resort of Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, formed an initiative group composed by Irene Aegerter, Agneta Rising, Patricia Braint along with a number of participants to this event, have founded an organization that has to play an important role in the following years of the nuclear lobby - Women in Nuclear (WiN).
An important fact to note is that among its founding members was also a representative of the Romanian nuclear power.
The proposal for establishment of a WIN organization was presented in Romania, initially to CITON -Subsidiary of Technology and Engineering for Nuclear Projects - Bucharest (and called ISPE-ON at that time) and so in 1993 WIN Romania was founded
The first members that signed the adhesions were from CITON, IFIN -National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, then ICN - Institute for Nuclear Research- Pitesti and gradually some female employees of the former RENEL -Regie Autonomous for National Power.
- Woman: Challenges, Roles and Contributions in the field of Nuclear Energy. WiN Romania 10th of March
- Seminar WIN Romania Filiala Cernavoda
- New members of Cernavodă WIN
Since its founding, WIN Romania organization was concerned to promote nuclear energy, growing up within Romanian Association "Nuclear Energy" -AREN.
An important step in development of WiN Romania organization was played by the regional seminar held in the spring of 1999 in Bucharest, attended besides representatives WiN in Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary by members of the WIN global Committee at that time: Agent Rising-Chair, Irene Aegerter-first president of WiN, and Linda Gunther and Lyudmila Zoltan-Kiss . The seminar has a wide participation of Romanian ladies, representing institutions acting in nuclear area and number of them has joined the group WiN Romania.
In Romania, there have been organized numbers of various actions supported by WIN members, such as attendance at SIEN and ICN Pitesti conferences, with presentations regarding training, development and communication.
Activities of WIN Romania Chapter include various actions dedicated to both the younger generation and female specialists in the nuclear field.
WIN Romania is involved in the organization of the drawings and essays contest "Alexandru Ene", dedicated to talented children, reached in 2011at the fifteenth edition of the International Symposium on Nuclear Energy (SIEN).
Our organization is also involved in organizing presentations and trainings for students and teachers participants at seminars initiated by AREN under the theme of "Nuclear Power and energy mix", intending to inform young generation about nuclear energy applications, to clarify a number of false myths and to complete notions offered by specialized textbooks in schools, seminars organized for female students, health professionals representing academia, etc.
Latest editions of the International Symposium on Nuclear Energy-SIEN entailed organizing specialized workshops by WIN Romania with international participation.
WiN Romania Chapter got involved in promoting the project Cernavoda NPP - Units 3 and 4 by sending a "Message of support for completion of two units" during the second event dedicated to Romanian and Bulgarian MEPs organized by FORATOM , at Strasbourg, on 20 February 2008.
WiN Romania evolution
Year 2010 marked a turning point in the destiny and aspirations of WIN Romania. In October 2010, WIN Romania Chapter has signed, as founding member, the document establishing foundation of WIN Europe, starting in the same period, the process for establishment of the Association WOMEN IN NUCLEAR Romania. Currently, it runs the last formalities for registration of Association WIN Romania as an independent organization with legal personality.

I have been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome, along with a host of mental health conditions. I use marijuana to treat my symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of autoimmune flare-ups. I'm also a mother to a ten-year-old and his primary caretaker. Today I want to discuss marijuana as compared to alternate treatment options, educating kids about their parents marijuana use, and how sexism plays a part in stigma against parents using marijuana.

Pictures Worth 1000 Words
When American news media reports on abortion, the images they choose to go with the stories make a difference. While the majority of abortions (89%) in the United States happen before 12 weeks, many of the pictures chosen for abortion articles display illustrated fetuses far beyond 12 weeks, or disembodied pregnant bellies in their third trimester. The reality of abortion is obscured with these pictures, and these pictures bias readers in favor of anti-abortion positions.
Take the latest cover of Newsweek for an example. A stylized computer rendering of a late term fetus graces the cover. Most abortions look nothing like this cover. My own abortion at 5 weeks looked indistinguishable from a heavy period.

Oh SNAP!
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federally funded program under the Department of Agriculture that helps low-income households buy groceries, commonly known as food stamps. SNAP is managed at the state level, with different states having slightly different requirements for participation.
Generally speaking, SNAP is a program designed for children and elderly people. The majority of households receiving benefits had children (75%) or elderly people (16%). People who are between 18 and 50 years of age who do not have a verified disability and are not caretakers for children or disabled adults fall into the category called Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs). ABAWDs are limited to three months of food assistance unless they are working or participating in approved training programs at least 80 hours a month. Continue reading
Guest Post: "But AAC Increases Speech!"
Today's guest post was written by Alyssa Hillary, an autistic activist and masters student who writes about autism related subjects. This post first appeared on Alyssa's blog Yes, That Too and has been reprinted with permission. General information on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can be found on the American Speech-Language Hearing Association website.
So this is one of the big arguments I see in favor of giving people who don't talk, or who only talk a little, access to augmentative and alternative communication (or, as sometimes I think of it, maybe-actually-working communication. Because most of the time, if parents and teachers are considering AAC, that means that the communication that the person has is not working. Maybe it's a matter of not knowing all the words, maybe it's a matter of other people ignoring the behavior side, there's always multiple sides in a communication breakdown but that doesn't change the not-workingness.)
