Phone Jam To demand a Safe Injection Site in Kitchener25 Aug
Mayor of Kitchener's office
Today until we get a safe injection site
Phone: 519-741-2300.
Fax: 519-741-2800.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Office hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Given that people are being found dead in shelters due to the opioid epidemic, given the fact that over 30 people we know personally have died since January due to drugs laced with Fentanyl; Given that this problem can no longer be swept under the carpet as more and more people are dying everyday; we call on people to call the mayors office to demand a safe injection site with drug testing kits immediately.
Overdose Prevention Team's First Day of Operation Successful25 Aug
Despite the attacks of the police and threats from the powers that be, our first day of overdose prevention was quite successful. We have set up a table with people trained in Naloxone distribution where people can come to to receive Naloxone administration in the event of an overdose. Last night a life was saved because of this. We will continue our work until we get a real safe injection not a tent in the woods.
Overdose prevention team launched police respond by arresting one organizor and hunting another24 Aug
Today at 6pm we launched our community overdose prevention patrol. Given the fact that many people come to tent city for medical support we decided that the patrol would patrol the whole park with nalaxone kits to make sure that everyone is safe and no one is dieing. Those on patrol are trained in overdose prevention and had quite a bit of first hand experience yesterday.
Outreach was done to many community groups whom have supported this project and we will continue these patrols until we have our building to implement a inclusive solution to opiod epidemic and the poverty and scarcity economy that us destroying our community which includes a safe injection site.
The police responded by arresting one of the organizer with the Naloxone Kits to stop this from happening and stated that they were looking for Julian Ichim, clearly for nefarious purposes. Despite this we had secret naloxone kits and since Ichim has no outstanding charges in Canada, Ichim refused to be intimated and was at the launch.
We were joined by members of the Green Party who came to make sure we were safe. We later joined them and spoke at length about common issues such as poverty, the need for real solutions to the economic problems we are facing and colonialism in Palestine Ireland and here. People fro tent city shared their opinions of how tent city politicized them and gave them something to fight for. We are very greatful for the Green Party members whom stood with us.
After the Green Party left police drove by Julian and when asked if they were looking to talk to Ichim the cheeky bastard responded by saying that ow yeah we will have quite a talk later, implying that Ichim would somehow be detained. Our negotiations with the region are going well and a housing clinic will be set up early next week to house everyone in tent city. This was a double victory and has infuriated the police whom are acting a rouge agents with their own political agenda. They are quite upset that we are raising awareness around the issue and winning practical victories. Despite their sour grapes we will continue our struggle and be undeterred.
Urgent announcement to made at tent city today at 6 pm in terms of Overdose prevention23 Aug
Today at 6 p.m. we will be making an announcement at Tent City in regards to the opioid epidemic that is ravaging our community. We will not strand by idly while people we have known our whole lives drop dead like flies. We feel that the solution to the drug problem is a complex one that includes everything from harm reduction, the implementation of Portuguese model on drugs to targeting those individuals who poison our community. We also feel that the solution to the drug problem is tied in with the solutions to poverty unemployment, colonialism, and the violence that capitalism forces on our communities. Those who will not be at Tent City at 6 will be able to see our announcement on social media by the end of the day. We look forward to the day when drugs and capitalism will no longer ravage our community
On International Overdose Awareness Day Tent City Will Open Up A Safe Injection Site23 Aug
Given the fact that people are being found dead in shelters across the city from preventable overdoses, given that fentanyl is now being found in ever single substance including occasional drug users who have no tolerance for opiates use. Given that krokodil have appeared on the streets of Kitchener disguised as heroin and no one is keeping statistics on the overdose rate other than ourselves. We at Tent City plan to open up an overdose prevention site tomorrow at 6 p.m. This space will be a space where there will be at least one person who is trained in overdose prevention and Naloxone administration there to make sure that no one dies. The death rate in Kitchener from drugs laced with fentanyl is such an epidemic that we cannot wait until negotiations are completed with the city. Today we had to administer first aid to a woman who's flesh is falling off due to krokodil as well, someone wandered into tent city under the influence of a party drug who overdosed and had there not been someone trained in Naloxone Administration and a member of the Revolutionary Students Movement of Montreal there to put them in the recovery position and administer Naloxone they would have died. We must acknowledge the fact that drugs impact every strata of society yet it is the poor people who truly pay the price with their own lives. We cannot pretend this problem will go away by just ignoring it or punishing addicts. This does not mean that we are stopping our campaign to target death dealers, if anything this furthers our resolution to fight those who are poisoning our community, however it is clear that we cannot wait for the state to solve this problem and that we ourselves must do what we can to end the death epidemic on the street of Kitchener.
The Ghost of the G20 Conspiracy still haunts me, aka why the fuck am I on the Narcotics Registry List?20 Aug
So as some of you know I have been having serious health problems for most of my life but things came to a head when i was living in the artic. I was happy in the Artic was on the IAC (the equivalent of city council but we controlled the purse strings), I was able to work at a drop in with Indigenous youth, I saw the poverty and bullshit that they were going through and i was able to get language classes going hire elders, do harm reduction work and learn alot about colonialism from seeing the misery myself. Children as young as 5 were waiting outside the grocery store begging not for candy but for bread meanwhile millions of dollars were going into the NGO pockets. I made some good changes one was the mentorship program that if ur not from Inuvik u hire a youth at 20 bucks an hour which is a decent wage since milk costs 10 bucks for a carton and smokes r like 20 bucks a pack, and when your contract is up the youth gets the job. This was because almost all the jobs were going to people from Ontario etc.
Anyways due to the G20 infiltration that was going on and the plan to set me up for conspiracy charges they were not happy with me actually doing good shit and wanted me in jail for conspiracy and whatever other shit they through at me. In the artic i developed several health issues that led to blood poisoning and i passed out at work than realised that the floor was not a reasonable place to nap so i went on the couch. My boss who is good friends with my sister and a devote Muslim took me to the hospital where i required immediate surgery. I did the first two with only local anesthetic because i have seen what opiates have done to my friends and my community. My third surgery they put me out and my heart stopped because i cant do intubation. I went back to work with many more surgery's. I avoided opiates and instead took lots of Tylenol (paracetamol, Acetaminophen etc) this caused complications so i finally listened to the doctor and started taking my pain meds, but not every day twice a week so i would not be addicted. I would make jokes and stuff but if you know me the things i joke about death addiction etc is my way of dealing with my fear. For example when i was done my first operation and hooked up to iv drip antibiotics i took the bag down with my boss and went out for a smoke, i honestly did not need a smoke thats how sick i was but i had to at least make a joke out of it that even in minus 50 weather while tied to an iv I will still sneak out in my hospital gown and underwear and have a smoke for the craic, you know the mischievous side of me.
I got sent back to Ontario and the woman who fired me without excuse cried because of how dedicated i was. Being sent back to Ontario was to set me up for my arrest incarceration kangeroo court and 3 months after my arrest because of the shit my moms death. They wanted me for something big and they spent two years infiltrating our circle of friends after they had psychological profiles on us and all that. So back in Ontario I go to the docter, Khalid the fucken undercover drove me to the doctor and intimidated him in cutting off my pains meds which was fine and then he offered me the same types of meds oxycontin 80 mgs. I said no cause of two reasons one im a organizor who works to get people off of drugs and getting oxys off an activist sounded very junkie like and could be used to discredit me and 2. I hate dealers and have no idea where these meds came from and 3. I dont trust random pills, in 2009 the fentynol crisis was killing many friends and assholes were using pill presses to put fewntynol in fucken perks, which would kill a person. After the arrest and all the fallout I found out I was put on the Narcotics Registry list but due to me breaking the publication ban on the under covers and the court case and the thousands of pages of disclosure focusing on my health, who and how i fuck (mad pages of my sex life described blow by blow) and showing the people how fucked up the state is I thought this was done with and I could go on with my life. The interesting thing is that this docter after talking to the cop said i was fine and was just seeking drugs which was fucked, cause I was dating someone whose family member was a docter and we did an ultra sound and what we saw pretty much freaked him a wee bit out. If i did not have that hookup i surly wou;ld have gotten blood poisoning again and been severely fucked. plus shortly after that i was so sick my skin exploded in the back and there was puss and blood everywhere. It was kinda funny cause my brother freaked out and was what do u want i will do anything and i said i want to smoke inside he got me a smoke and lit it but when the ambulance came the guy started yelling because i was smoking next to an oxygen tank that we had for a sick family member and how stupid that was i didnt notice the tank because it was like pretty fucken gross. Anyways the cops also came cause 911 was called and the paramedics slammed the door in there face.
Since then I have been using opiates on and off for pain when i become dependent i quite wait awhile and start again twice a week and try to keep it at that. This time i used 4 years before being dependent so i really didnt notice all the problems I had picking up my meds, well i noticed but it wasn't a thing I worried about docters shift there work on nurses who shift it to someone else and shit gets lost well thats what i thought anyways. The last little bit my pain level increased dramatically and i became dependent. I noticed I always had problems getting my scripts or cops would be there or some other shit.This was fucken annoying and i Remember having to choose being in pain and dope sick or go to a conference cause cops were by the pharmacy. I choose the conference gave a good speech was dope sick and in pain but was great time. The whole story will be in another blog.
Anyways the week before i quit i kept on going into shock because of my pain levels and shock is scary as fuck, like dope sick is not that bad but when u cant feel your face and body and your breathe and you know oxygen is not getting to your extremities and your heart goes all crazy its fucken scary. The first night it happened I didnt even know what it was, was it my asthma was it this was it that me and my roomate tried everything finally 3 perks sorted it. The docter confirmed it was shock. These fuckers kept on not giving me my script, or have some excuse and i would call the docter and the docter would be like its faxed. and i would spend so much fucken time tryoing to sort it to keep the shock at bay. After I quit against my docters wishes I started to gewt chest pain i kept them a secret cause i knew what it was after my heart attack at the ILPS conference i saw my docter got a bunch of scripts for non opiod meds for pain as well as meds to keep my bp and heartrate down till we sort out a way to keep pain levels low enough or some shit like that. Of course there was a shitshow at the pharmacy and while i was making small talk with the pharmacist i asked why all these issues, she turned the computer and i found out that im still on the narcotics list and there are quite a few stipulations for example my scripts can be denied unless they are confirmed by my family docter who is in fucken etobicoke and you can only get the secretary. I remember before i quit i had a real bad impacted tooth on top of the gangrene and other shit and i was seeing red from pain and i called to ask for my script and they said we dont have it which was not what the docters office was saying etc. Now i know why,also this info is accessible to the police as red flags go when i script goes through and the state will fuck with your meds. Recently I went with my dad and other witnesses to show the fuckery. It was quite simple they gave me zopiclone instead of ambian and they only gave me 10 thc pills for pain they are called pms- Nabilone 1 mg, so i was owed 90 pills they gave me a few Im suppose to take one every four hours. I go back to change my meds that were the wrong ones and get some other meds that are owed to me. The fuckers get the supervisor who gets the pharmacist who gets someone else and they get on the phone for hours and only give another 10 THC pills knowing i need to travel and thats one of the only pharmacy i can get my meds and then make me pay more then 100 dollars for the meds i should have gotten and only gave me half of my meds for my heart. We knew whom they were on the phone with they didnt try to hide it.
So to be on this list you need to pose some sort of fucken threat, my reputation as a community organizer and all the fucken infiltrators know i hate dealers would never deal and hardly have money for my own fucken meds as i always run out get what is cheaper etc. The G20 disclosure shows i did not do any drugs except the ones perscribed and those only occasionally. The only way they were able to put me on this fucken list is because under bill c 51 the anti terror law based on the UK 2001 anti terror act they have the right to break the law and use all means available to crush political dissent. The G20 arrest, blogging trial etc exonerated me of any wrong doings so why the fuck am i still on this fucken list and how dare they fuck with my health. I plan to fight this tooth and nail because i find it morally repulsive and cowardly. It shows they have no honour and this must be exposed.
One final thing I got to see part of my psychological profile when i bailed out the comrade. I was shocked to see my medical shit on the document which i think should be confidential, the reason i was shocked is that these pigs know my healh is bad abd they still dont give a shit and will harass because of my views and politics

Recipe from Sugar Hero
What you need:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup toasted coconut
5 oz cold butter (cubed)
1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
Pastry Cream-
2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
1 1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3 TBsp cornstarch
1 cup toasted coconut
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp coconut extract
3 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
zest of one lemon
juice of one lemon
1 1/2 TBsp corn starch
How to make it:
Combine the flour, sugar, toasted coconut, and salt in a bowl of a food processor, and pulse until everything is well blended.
Add the cold butter and pulse until it is in small pea-sized pieces.
Add the egg yolk and pulse in long 5 second bursts until the dough starts clumping together.
Turn the dough out of the food processor and knead it lightly several times to incorporate any extra flour.
Spray a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom with nonstick cooking spray.
Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan in an even layer.
Freeze the shell for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
Spray the top of the tart dough with nonstick spray, then press a sheet of foil into the shell, shiny side down and fill the foil with dry beans, rice, or pie weights.
Bake the shell for 20 minutes, until the sides start to take on a little color and the center no longer looks raw, then carefully remove the foil and weights.
Bake for an additional 14-15 minutes, until the shell is golden brown.
Let the shell cool completely before filling it.
Pastry Cream-
Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl and whisk them briefly to break them up.
Combine the milk, sugar, salt, and corn starch in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk everything together until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve, and continue to whisk while the mixture heats up.
Once it starts to bubble and thicken, remove it from the heat.
Whisk the bowl of egg yolks while slowly streaming in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture.
Now whisk the milk mixture while you pour the egg yolks into the saucepan.
Return the pan to the heat and continue to cook, whisking constantly until pastry cream thickens and has the texture of pudding.
You may want to occasionally scrape the bottom of the pan with a rubber spatula to prevent any scorching.
Once think, remove the pan from heat.
Stir in the toasted coconut, vanilla extract, and coconut extract.
Let cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally so that the top doesn't form a skin.
Combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries with the sugar and lemon zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir occasionally while the sugar melts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and corn starch; when corn starch has dissolved, pour mixture into the blueberry saucepan.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, while blueberries come to a simmer, break down, and begin to thicken.
Cook until the mixture has a thick jammy consistency, about 3-4 minutes once it comes to a boil.
Remove the pan from the heat, then whisk occasionally as it cools to room temperature.
Once room temperature, stir in the remaining 2 cups of fresh blueberries.
To assemble, remove the tart shell from the pan.
Spread the chilled pastry cream in the bottom of the shell.
Top with cool blueberry topping mixture.
Chill the tart for about 30 minutes to set all the layers.
Cut into slices, then ENJOY!

Palm Beach County Attorney Denise Nieman has asked Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for advice on how money from a fire rescue sales tax increase could be used.
Plans for a fire rescue sales tax hike were scrapped earlier this year when county commissioners raised questions about the state law that allows counties to raise the sales tax and decrease property taxes by the same amount. Commissioners would have to agree to put the sales tax increase on the ballot.
Some fire rescue officials had backed such a tax "swap" as a way to reduce reliance upon property taxes and get tourists to pay a share of fire rescue costs. But commissioners – contemplating a separate sales tax increase to pay for repairs to roads, bridges and buildings – balked at the prospect of having two sales tax increases on the ballot, especially with questions about how the fire rescue tax swap works.
Supporters of the fire rescue tax swap stood down, agreeing to hold off on their plans while clarity was sought from Bondi's office.
Nieman sent a letter to the attorney general on Monday asking a series of questions about the state law that allows fire rescue tax swaps.
The law was passed in 2009, but no county has tried to implement a fire rescue tax swap.
There is no specific timetable for a response from Bondi's office.

Who goes there?
Ah, it's you.
You're looking well. I think you've lost some weight.
Come in. Sit down. Would you like something to drink? Wine? A gin-and-tonic? Wait there, I'll go rummage around in the fridge and see what there is to eat...
Okay, I'm back! Hope you like crab-cakes.
Let us talk once again about Fear, my friend.
Today's world is a place of marvelous opportunity, and we are all free to live our lives, pursue our dreams, play that funky music and rock the house.
At least, that's what we'd all like to think.
But we also know, everyone else in the world doesn't always agree with us. Sometimes others will refuse to cooperate, or will intentionally get in the way. Sometimes, others will try to control us, or hold us back--or worse.
Scenarios like that are common in horror movies--and in real life, too. That is why today's Fear is Coercion: being forced to do what you don't want to do.
Coercion is a very early, basic fear for all of us. Growing up, we all had to endure larger and/or stronger and/or meaner creatures (parents, relatives, babysitters, schoolyard bullies) forcing us to obey them. Some of those coercers may have used harsh words, threats of violence, or even violence itself to get us to see things their way.
Watch the TV news or read the newspaper on any given day--you'll find coercion on every page. Even in the comic strips! Sarge is always beating up poor Beetle Bailey, and Hagar the Horrible isn't afraid to throw his weight around. Nancy usually gets Sluggo to do her bidding, and who knows what kind of strings Lois has to pull to get Hi to reach his trembling hand into the job-jar?
An early movie featuring coercion is the 1936 production, Revolt of the Zombies. This creaky old black-and-white potboiler starts with a happy blast of what sounds like cartoon theme music. But then, nothing you see and hear in this movie is especially frightening. The zombies don't even look rotten. They're also referred to as robots and automatons--basically, they are everyday guys whose will is being controlled by mystical means. They've become mindless soldiers who stride implacably across Cambodian battlefields. Shooting at them doesn't stop them cheap not-so-special effects reveal that bullets enter their body, but have no effect on them. They just keep moving, ever-onward. They exist simply to obey.

One of the most powerful but overlooked tips for getting your finances under control is to find a personal finance coach who can help you assess your situation and make a plan to deal with it. Today's guest is Tonya Rapley, an amazing black woman who has taken personal finance coaching to a whole new level. She's become one of the go-to resources for many women when it comes to developing a way out of debt and into wealth. You'll learn a lot from her tips and advice, so be sure you listen to this episode.
Why would you want to hire a personal finance coach?
A personal finance coach is an amazing resource most women entrepreneurs don't tap into. The right person will be a resource like no other – a professional when it comes to financial tools and strategies, and a third-party who can help you be objective about the things you're doing with your money. If you'd like to hear one of the best, you need to take the time to hear Tonya Rapley from My Fab Finance, on this episode.
Know that your financial situation does not define you.
There are many situations women find themselves in financially that not only make life tough on a practical level but are also challenging in regard to the way they think about themselves. Financial struggles can cause you to feel like you're not capable or not enough. But today's guest – a personal finance expert – says that you ARE enough, no matter your situation. You can't let the situation define you personally. Find out how Tonya suggests you go about it, in this episode.
Snowball your debt and gain your financial freedom faster.
If you've never heard of the concept of a debt snowball, you need to know about this incredible approach to accelerating debt elimination. It's pretty simple: you start making the largest payment you can on your smallest debt until it is paid off. Once it is, you start rolling that entire payment into your next smallest debt and repeat the process. Over time your payments snowball into a bigger and bigger amount so that you're able to pay off your debt quickly. Today's guest walks through the concept in detail so make sure you take the time to listen.
How you know it's time to step out to build your own business.
When Rosetta asked her guest, Tonya Rapley, what she would suggest to women who are eager to build their own business, she had some very practical advice. Make sure you have paying clients before you step out into your own thing. You've got to know that what you're doing is valued and people are willing to pay for it – before you put all your eggs in that basket. You can hear more great insights like this from Tonya on this episode of Happy Black Woman.

A somewhat intimate share for eyes that care-
For many many years we have gathered together to shift and transform through the breath in a co-creative container that has been in part, formed by the lovely soul known by so many as Prem Baba.
Every closing has been deeply mystical and powerful, rooted in source and translated from Portuguese into English. What many have not known is that the "hinario" or hymn that we have closed with was written while being sung to the Ganges River in Rishikesh by Prem Baba himself.
Watch here:
In January of 2017, I was planning a journey with the intention of receiving some much needed healing for myself. I had just lost the 3 most influential and important people in my life to cancer. Little by little I was completely take apart at the seams.
I had never sat with my two of my favorite teachers who are still "in body" and I knew deep down that it was time to prostrate myself at the feet of someone who could "see through me".
My first "go to" was Ram Dass who's retreat in Hawaii had a waiting list 100 deep. I researched my other "top picks" and found that the Prem Baba Sanga was offering a silent retreat in the hills of the Himalayas so I quickly registered.
Simultaneously one of my dearest friends, who is no doubt the finest Western student of Peruvian, Shipibo teachings I know was planning a retreat to Terapoto for a 21 day dieta. Due to a lag in response from the "silent retreat" registration team and my desire for "intense cleansing" I booked the trip to travel with friends to Peru.
I was heart broken not to have made the decision to travel to India to see Prem Baba but the journey inward that my time in the jungle provided was just the push I needed to clear and process the losses I had incurred and replace those voids with the "internal self love" required to open up enough to really "see" my life again.
Upon returning to the states, much more unfolded. The work was not yet close to complete and I had not yet even begun to establish contracts for the 2017 season. Maybe it was time to take a break from the work, put the chacapa and microphone down and get a job at Walmart? I don't quite know where I was at that point but erasing any memory of what I had become which was inauthentic or illusionary while in Peru had invariably been completed and I was working with a blank slate.
The first call I made was to Sridhar Silberfein. For those of you who do not know Sri, let me first say anyone with as big of an appetite for sharing divinity with others, who serves in the way he does cannot possibly please and hold the patience required for the amount of egos and attitudes that this guy does without going completely mad. He is largely responsible for brining many Hindu Saints to the West including but not limited to Amma, "the hugging saint" who sees hundreds of thousands of people per year. Even though he was traveling abroad, he still had time for me and communicated in a timely manner through his staff.
I shared with him I had just been cracked open and that I had no contracts for his infamous Bhakti Festivals for the 2017 season. It was within the next few weeks following that I would come to learn that not only would we be included in both the May and September festivals, but none one other than Prem Baba himself would be traveling to the United States to facilitate satsang in the very same room that we have been singing his songs for the past 6 years. I was over the moon! I would still get to sit with him but he would be coming to me! LOL, when it all seems as if it i falling apart, more often than not, it is falling into place.
I did get to sit with Prem Baba and actually was gifted a private meeting with him before his final teaching at the festival. Thank you to the loving souls who facilitated this for me. It was literally a dream come true.
More important than anything else was his teaching. Oh the way baba works is incredible! I love that many who do not yet understand the internal methods for liberation have still to look forward to their awakenings. Like tasting a fabulous dessert before it is served to your family knowing it is going to blow everyone away!
He weaved a share that began "God Head" deep and yet held so much joy and playfulness, to not get cracked wide open by the sheer exposure surely suggests of deep, "pain body" or simply exposure to the wrong teacher. But what teacher who is so adept at love could be wrong?
He spoke primarily of relationship and how the most challenging shift at this time in the true "seekers" evolution is the transition from suffering to joy. Simple? Maybe not so much. It may seem simple to some but the energy that is required to stay present moment to moment can be daunting. Why? Simply because we are programable beings and much of that has been up and to this moment, suffering.
Baba explained of the instrument of gratitude and how if we account for the present moment, that there is nothing but "peace". Then he gave a simple yet profound tool. "Stop Complaining" he said gently in Portuguese. Then remarked, it is not easy because our default is to suffer.
Just to begin to notice the frequency and programed baseline of complaint that I generate is a profound reflection. It is one slippery slope but one I plan to traverse with great attention and intensity.
Life is great here in the now and I do not want to take that for granted. It can change at a moments notice. I send love and support to those who are working through injuries and the loss of loved ones, depression, hopelessness and just general dissatisfaction. I will the day to come where all of my thoughts are as present and conscious as when I focus to create healing and peace.
We are all just walking one another home and I want to be a great date!
I am so very grateful for this beautiful life and I praise our journey and awakening together as one.
Thank you to everyone who made this year possible and blessings beyond compare to our sacred guardian team!

Study Material For Cisco Ccna Ccnp And Ccie Students
This chapter covers general networking concepts listed in the CCIE Security blueprint for the written exam. The CCIE Security blueprint lists some example topics that define general networking, including switching, TCP/IP, routed and routing protocols, PPP, ISDN, asynchronous communications, and telephony and wireless best practices.
The CCIE Security written exam contains approximately 50 percent security questions and approximately 50 percent general networking questions. This chapter prepares you for the general networking questions. Although the CCIE Security written exam blueprint lists some specific networking topics, it does not, for example, mention Frame Relay, which might appear on the exam. This chapter covers many of the listed, and a few of the unlisted, general networking topics.
Although these topics are not extensively defined in the blueprint, the CCIE Security written exam might include topics taken from the CCIE Routing and Switching written exam blueprint. This chapter endeavors to cover all bases and provide quality test examples to ensure that you are well prepared to tackle the general networking questions you encounter in the examination.
This chapter covers the following topics:
■ Networking Basics—Discusses the OSI model, concepts, and functions. Topics include the seven layers of the OSI model and common TCP/IP networking examples.
■ Switching and Bridging—Covers the process that today's networks use to switch packets and describes traditional bridging methods. Virtual LANs, spanning tree protocol (STP), and Fast Ethernet Channel are discussed.
■ Routing IP—Covers the most widely-used routed protocol in today's Internet, IP, and the routing protocols available on Cisco routers, such as RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP. Cisco IOS commands and configuration examples demonstrate the power of routing IP on Cisco routers.
■ PPP, ISDN, Frame Relay, IP Multicast, and Async—Two of the most widely used dialup protocols are PPP and ISDN. Frame Relay is covered briefly to ensure that you have a good understanding of the common terminology used in today's networks. IP multicast and async protocols are also covered.
■ Telephony Best Practices—IP Telephony is one of the largest investments that Cisco has made in its 20-year history. This section covers the best practices used in today's Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) implementation.
■ Wireless Best Practices—Wireless, another emerging technology, contains a complex array of standards and bodies that have left the IT market rather insecure about wireless. This section helps alleviate some of those concerns by covering the best practices for Cisco wireless networks.

Introducing Melissa Jane: Boston Pop Singer/Songwriter with a Voice to "Remember"
The next big thing never sounds like anyone else, and neither does Melissa Jane.
… First the voice: a sultry breath of soul, sweetened with honey. Then the piercing eyes, killer curves, and earthy cool of a girl with natural sex appeal. Lay it over her hot single "Remember" – which is rocking dance clubs on four continents and landed her a nomination for 2011's Best Independent Artist – and you've got a star ready to blow up.
Copycat, Melissa Jane is not. While she names Pop/R&B goddesses like Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Aretha Franklin as influences, "you can't really compare Melissa to anyone," says producer Rio, who co-wrote and produced "Remember" with Melissa at Bristol Entertainment in Boston. "She has her own style, full of blue-eyed soul. The successful artists I've seen are the ones whose drive you can't kill, and she has that."
Melissa is currently working on her new EP with RIO (Akon, Swizz Beats, Jada, Dropkick Murphy's), Devine Evans and the Senate (Rihanna, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj) and a few other talented producers and songwriters. Meanwhile, "Remember" can be heard in clubs and on radio in Tokyo, Buenos Aires, London, and down America's east coast. Production team Tokyo Angel of Tokyo, Japan remixed the track for Barzet Records—hear it now on beatport.com. Melissa was even tapped to sing "Remember" in the Massachusetts indie film Sunblocked.
Oh, and consider Jay-Z a fan. The hip-hop icon has called Melissa "a rockstar…just like a little diamond," and percussionist Frank Knuckles of The Roots gave her a shout-out on Twitter. A proud fashionista, she did all the artistic direction for her most recent photo shoot herself, and she even scored an official sponsorship from Betsey Johnson. Salon Marc Harris and women's clothing retailer 344, both of Boston, are also proud sponsors.
A bold performer, Melissa has played hundreds of shows from Boston and New York to Orlando and New Orleans. Gigs at Boston's legendary Hard Rock Café and Paradise Rock Club are on her résumé, and she sang the National Anthem before 38,000 Red Sox fans at Fenway Park, at a New England Revolution game in Gillette Stadium, and before NASCAR races at New England's Seekonk Speedway. Her and her fabulous backup dancers most recently shared the stage with legendary R&B group Color Me Badd.
"I've got big goals. Hitting #1 on Billboard or winning Grammy Awards would be amazing. But honestly, I've always dreamed of performing at Madison Square Garden and collaborating with The Roots, Jay Z, or Kanye West," says Melissa.
It's an ambition shared by many, but the talent is all Melissa Jane.
"Ur like a rock-star, really smooth and sh*t, just like a little diamond."-Jay Z to Melissa Jane
…"When Melissa Jane pulled me up on stage and sang to me, I felt this electricity- I haven't felt electricity like that since I worked with Cameron Diaz on the set of "There's Something About Mary"! What a voice! Wait until you see her, it is quite a show with her dancers! And let me tell you, visually-Melissa is an absolute knockout!" – Comedian Steve Sweeney ("Me, Myself & Irene", "There's Something About Mary", "Baywatch")
"Remember is a great song! Can't wait to hear the album, bet it's gonna be a knockout!"- Frank Knuckles (The Roots) on Melissa Jane's single "Remember" via Twitter
"I love your voice! You are a star! Your voice and performance matched the song perfectly! Don't ever stop singing!" – Kat de Luna (Billboard chart topping artist and Billboard Latin Music Award Winner on Universal Motown Records) to Melissa Jane

Pun-tastic name aside, the new monster from Ingolstadt mainly serves to expose the car industry's ignorance towards the social properties of the automobile.
It's difficult to determine where to start with the Audi Q8. How about the name? Yes, there may be a ton of planet-saving batteries hidden underneath its gargantuan sheetmetal somewhere, but still: just the car's appearance and its onomatopoeic, mineral oil-related name set a rather strange tone.

Pineapple coat
What a shoe can do… Did you see the Supercolor collection that Pharell designed for Adidas? The iconic Superstar model in a color range of 50 different shades – that's 50 pairs of shoes on the wishlist! On the morning of the launch, I browsed the interwebs to see where my favorite colors (pastels please!) would be up for sale. Only on the internet, it seemed. I couldn't believe how fast these shoes were selling out, so when I came across my colors, I quickly added to basket and headed for the check-out. Yesterday I went to pick up my order and guess what? I'm in love with every color I ordered!! Three pairs of superstars is a bit too much, so I'm selling one pair. Now I just have to decide which color to eliminate… Can you help me?
About the outfit
I'm wearing a full ensemble that I selected at Sienna Boutique. A white skater skirt, loose knit and this cutesy pineapple printed coat. Perfect for a warm spring day. Speaking off, those can't come any sooner for me!

Alwaqa Aljadeed – WASHINGTON : U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
The U.S. military struck an al-Qaida target in the Arabian Peninsula, Sept. 29, in a remote area of Al Baydah Governate, Yemen, killing one terrorist and injuring another, according to a U.S. Central Command news release issued yesterday.
"The United States is committed to supporting security and stability in the region," Centcom spokesman Army Maj. Josh T. Jacques said in the release.
Degrading Terrorists' Ability to Conduct Operations
"We will take every measure available to degrade their ability to conduct operations," Jacques said.
Airstrikes carried out by the U.S. and its coalition partners hinder Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula's ability to freely move throughout Yemen, the spokesman said.
"Anyone who chooses to involve themselves with AQAP accepts the risks of supporting terrorism," he said.

Today I'm sharing another look we shot while we were at the beach and let me just say, it was COLD.
We went to the beach at the end of June so the last thing I expected to need was a coat, silly me, so I decided to go with a bit of a grungy look and throw on the light flannel I brought along. 90's style has been making its way back to the fashion scene in a big way and I absolutely love it. What are your thoughts on the return of the 90's? Love it or leave it?

Interpreting jokes, swear words and brusque remarks: Experience in the European
The interpreter needs a "filter" to pass on humor and fun to the listeners without becoming personally caught up in the laughter.
- Published:
- Last updated:
Jokes, swear words and brusque remarks have to be grasped quickly even if they present an extreme degree of linguistic difficulty or have personal or cultural roots. The interpreter needs a "filter" to evoke humor without succumbing to laughter herself. In the case of swear words or brusque remarks, the listener is entitled to perceive the tone of rudeness or anger of the original in order to judge the message for himself.
In a plenary session of the European Parliament, an Irish MP took the floor, quipping, "Thank you Mr. President. You and I have had very good moments on this floor." (The meeting record notes "laughter".) The President, who happened to be from Spain, quickly retorted, "¡Señora, si usted y yo no hemos tenido más momentos, fuera de este hemiciclo, será porque usted no ha querido!" [Madame, if you and I haven't had more moments - outside this room - it is surely because you didn't want to!]
This anecdote goes to show that double entendres, jokes and brusque remarks hurled about during parliamentary debate are fleeting and must be grasped quickly. And while the example points to a specific set of difficulties that interpreters will encounter in free-ranging parliamentary discussions, it also confirms one of the basic tenets of interpretation: Knowledge of languages is not in itself enough; we interpreters must also have insight into the cultural and even personal dynamics underlying the speaker's words. An interpreter works not just with words and concepts, but also with ideas and emotions that beg to be freed from the straitjacket of literal translation. And when the interpreter is being propelled forward by the non-stop demands of simultaneous interpretation, all of her imagination must be on call to surmount any challenges that unexpectedly crop up.
Jokes and swear words: The order of the day at the European Parliament
To the interpreters' great fortune or misfortune, the way humor and pointed remarks are used in the European Parliament differs in both style and frequency from other international forums.
The difference in style is due to the nature of (democratic) parliamentary discourse, which, by definition, is free and open. MPs can – and do – resort to any rhetorical recourse that comes to mind to argue and convince, stretching the possibilities of language to the limit.
As members of plurinational political groups, Euro MPs constantly work and travel together, and even cooperate across partisan lines in order to build a broad consensus when needing a majority in the plenary. This system breeds a sense of familiarity among them that is without parallel in any other international body, and therein resides the freer and more frequent use of witty or irate interjections. To find oneself interpreting jokes, swear words or brusque remarks in the European Parliament is by no means a rare occurrence. To the contrary, it is the order of the day.
The danger zone
Translators and interpreters must have a very solid grounding in languages, especially in regard to vocabulary and terminology. But when speakers start spewing wisecracks and invective, we can no longer rely on our mental store of lexical equivalents. This is when interpreters most need supple mental reflexes and familiarity with the idiosyncrasies of the speaker.
"Joke/swear word" situations (allow me to lump the two together for the time being) tend to push word equivalents off the map and force the interpreter to improvise as best he can. These are "danger zones", each with its own special challenge, which clearly stand out from normal speech patterns. Some of these difficulties will go into the written record and have to be handled by the translators as well. Others will be circumscribed to the floor and the simultaneous (and sometimes consecutive) interpretation.
Jokes and witticisms pose a double difficulty. One is linguistic in nature and is most evident in puns – plays on words that are funny because of the combination and contrast of meaning and sound. Puns are usually untranslatable, except when there is a fortunate acoustic coincidence between languages of the same family. Usually the interpreter can do no more than explain a pun in as interesting a fashion as possible. A case in point, taken from real life: "The next speakers, after Ms. Green, are Mr. White and Mr. Black … and this is not a joke!"
The unforgiving pace of interpretation
A different kind of difficulty arises when witticisms, difficult enough to translate/interpret when they are rooted in language itself, feed off national and/or cultural references that will prove incomprehensible to those who do not share the same cultural space. For example, would it be possible to tell a joke about "gigantes and cabezudos"1 without explaining what these figures represent in Spain? Will a Spaniard immediately understand a joke about the Dutch "elfstedentocht?"2
Even if a joke is conceptually and linguistically translatable, the pace of simultaneous is unforgiving and will often force the interpreter into offering a compressed explanation of the cultural reference, leaving precious little time for the humor itself. The interpreter must be nimble and recognise built-in limitations without being deterred by them. A version that is not as funny as the original may be the lesser of two evils, especially if we consider that jokes are not always that funny even in the original.
The speaker's right to hilarity
But what if the speaker's comment does have a strong effect on those members of the audience who understand the speaker's language? What does an interpreter do when part of the audience bursts out laughing and the rest are waiting for the interpretation to join in the fun? In addition to the linguistic and cultural problems mentioned above, there is another kind of difficulty that I would label purely mental.
This problem can be summed up by a simple principle: The speaker has the right to provoke guffaws in the meeting room and all participants have the right to join in. But the interpreter, who listens directly to the speaker along with those in the audience who will laugh first, does not have the right to laugh. To be capable of communicating the cause of the laughter to the still-silent headset wearers, the interpreter must maintain concentration and erect a rational barrier against the flood of humor, redirecting it toward his impatient listeners.
At times it is not the intention of the speaker to provoke laughter, as the following example illustrates. An Italian insisted on speaking French when trying to get the President's attention and be recognised: "Monsieur le président, vous m'avez sautée trois fois!" The President tried to answer, in vain: "Mais non, Madame, vous n'étiez pas inscrite sur la liste des orateurs." But the MP insisted: "Mais si! Je vous dis, trois fois! Vous m'avez sautée trois fois."
A translator working at a desk can take the time to enjoy this bit of humor, turning off the Dictaphone to tell a colleague what she just encountered. But an interpreter cannot laugh into the open microphone or allow herself to lose concentration. When entering the booth, interpreters mentally install an "anti-joke filter" that allows us to transmit funny comments without being infected by the contagion in the room. Curious phenomenon indeed!
Oh my goodness!
The linguistic problem is different when it comes to interpreting expletives and brusque remarks. Although different languages do not have the exact same repertory of swear words, they all have basic ways to express anger, annoyance or perplexity. In these cases, rather than looking for a literally equivalent word, one looks for the expression used to convey the same feeling. Take the oft-heard "J****, macho!" in Spanish, which in English has been converted into an appropriately inflected "Oh my goodness!" When confronted with such situations, the interpreter must be confident of possessing both the relevant cultural knowledge and quick reflexes.
When things get more complicated and the speaker doesn't stop with an isolated vulgarity (e.g. "Se nos echa encima una acojonante avalancha de enmiendas!"), but throws out a whole string of invective, the challenge is to find the appropriate register to faithfully transmit the spirit of the insult or attack. If the interpreter must don anti-contagion gear when faced with jokes, something similar happens with exclamations of anger and indignation.
Heated discussion pulls the interpreter into its rapid current. If it doesn't, one of the main messages – passion – will be lost. It is the speaker who sets the pace, and in my opinion, the interpreter doesn't have the authority to adopt a more measured tone that defuses the emotional charge of the original speech. Again, the interpreter must install a kind of personal filter to keep the emotion she must reflect from actually affecting her. A translator, who does not hear the speaker's voice, who does not see his face nor witness his gestures, will have less trouble maintaining a clear mind.
It is sometimes said that the presence and voice of an emotive speaker speak for themselves, and as a result the interpreter does not need to inject the same emotion in her delivery. I beg to differ. If the listeners see a much worked-up speaker but hear a restrained interpretation, they will not be inclined to trust the interpreter. Also, many conference rooms are so large that direct visual impact is not as great as that made by the voice coming through the headset (interpreted or not). Moreover, in the European Parliament, the "parrot" system pumps the sound (including all interpretation channels) directly into the MPs' offices, and we interpret with the knowledge that we have listeners who are not actually in the room.
Familiarity with registers
In all the situations described, familiarity with the rhetorical style of a speaker is a huge help. This means knowing if he has a propensity for brusque remarks, being familiar with the register he normally uses, and recognising the signs that the sleeping volcano might be about to erupt and even in which direction the fire may flow. European MPs serve a five-year term, and not only do they get to know each other very well, but the interpreters too have the time to become familiar with the "linguistic profile" of each MP. This knowledge comes in handy when the unexpected or startling occurs and helps us to provide quality interpretation in a challenging environment.
1 "Gigantes" are giant-sized figures usually made of paper mâché or a similar material, and carried by someone from the inside. "Cabezudos" are oversized heads made of similar materials and supported in the same fashion. Both are popular figures in traditional festivals in Spain.
2 The ice-skating race through the 11 cities of Friesland that is a veritable national event in the Netherlands.

How to Rebuild the Spindle on a Cub Cadet
Cub Cadet manufactures a number of mowers for both residential and commercial use. The majority of these tools use a belt and pulley system to rotate the blades the Cub Cadet uses to cut through brush. These pulleys are supported by spindles that allow them to turn freely. Over time, these spindles can become damaged. When that happens, you can rebuild the spindles on your Cub Cadet yourself, saving money on repair bills.
Park the Cub Cadet on a flat surface that gives you room to work. Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
Open up the engine compartment (on enclosed models) and locate the spark plug boot, which is the plastic covering over the spark plug on the side of the engine. Grasp the thick part of the boot and pull straight back.
Release the mowing deck from the mower by disengaging the deck clutch and removing the safety pins. On smaller mowers, gently turn the mower on its side so you can access the spindle below.
Look for the torsion pulley holding the mower belt in place. This is the pulley that swings on a spring arm to keep the belt at the right tension. Press on the pulley to release tension on the belt. Remove the belt from the pulley assembly.
Remove any dirt or grass on the underside of the mower deck around the spindle using a brush or towel soaked in soapy water.
Hold the spindle pulley still with one hand. Use the other hand to loosen the spindle bolt with a wrench or socket wrench. Pull the pulley off the spindle.
Remove the bolts holding the spindle in place on the underside of the deck. Gently push on the spindle to remove it from the deck.
Clean any dirt or debris off the spindle using a brush and soapy water. Look for cracks or other worn places on the spindle body and, if found, replace with a new spindle.
Insert the spindle through the top of the mower deck. Hold in place with one hand -- or have an assistant hold it if you're working on a larger Cub Cadet model -- while you tighten the bolts securing it to the deck.
Replace the pulley and secure with the pulley bolt.
Slip the belt around the mower deck pulleys. Press the torsion pulley back while you are looping the belt. When finished, gently release the pulley to lock the belt into position.
Replace the spark plug boot.

Bell is Canada's leading internet and phone provider and one of the largest multimedia companies. This telecommunications behemoth is over 130 years old and needs no further introduction. Like all successful companies, they've worked hard at improving their customer relations and customer support services.
If you wish to contact Bell regarding your account with them or a service they provide, this article will guide you through the process. There are many ways you can express your issues and concerns to Bell, and these are the most popular ways people use.
Live Chat
The first section of the Contact page lists four live chat options. There are individual buttons for Mobility, Internet, TV, and Home Phone live chat. The Mobility chat is the only one that deals with both sales and support while the other three addresses only issues regarding sales.
Once you click on one of the buttons, a chat box will open at the bottom right of the page. Once you choose a specific topic from the provided list, you will be assigned a free representative to speak with. A display message will appear if none are available.
Calling Customer Support
Addressing Bell via direct phone lines is the most popular choice. They have general information lines as well as topic specific direct phone lines. Here are the ones you should be familiar with.
General information phone line: 1 866 301-1942
General Inquiries: 1 855 310-BELL (2355). This line is open from 08:00 to 21:00 during the week and from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekends.
Once you're connected to an associate and explained your situation, you will often be redirected to the specialized department. Of course, there is a way for you to call a specific department on your own. Underneath the general phone line listing there is a 2-step menu designed to narrow down the topics of interest. From there you will be able to call directly to someone trained in the specific issues.
The first step requires you to pick from the following topics:
- Shopping or orders
- Technical support or repair
- Your bill or account
- Share a concern
- General inquiries
After selecting a topic, you'd reach step two. This requires you to choose the service you need assistance with. Depending on what selection you made in step one, here are some of the options available:
Mobility – Associated phone numbers

Social Media Channels
Like any other popular provider and media company, Bell makes use of social media to both promote their services and respond to inquiries. The following two options are your best bet to get a quick response.
However, if your particular problem takes longer to solve, you will probably be asked to submit a form or make a follow-up call to their support departments. Social media support pages are best for issues that can be dealt with quickly.

Someone from Bell will respond to private messages on Facebook and try to solve any issues you might have.

Once you've reached the official Bell Twitter feed their information section will redirect you via a link to their official Twitter support page @Bell_Support. From there you can tweet or send a private message about any problems you may have.
The YouTube logo at the bottom right corner of the Bell webpage will redirect you to their official channel. Their playlist is rich in guides on specific Bell services and devices. If you don't enjoy reading manuals, perhaps some of these short instructional clips can clear up any uncertainties you may have.
Dual Language Support
Although you will be asked to pick a region and language when you first visit Bell's webpage, you can also find the language setting at the upper right corner of the main page. You can switch freely between English and French at any time. When contacting Bell on the general phone line, they will also ask you to select a language before going forward.
Support Page
Their support page contains a variety of guides and common issues. You can browse at will through the titles and articles to find a solution to your problem. If you are not satisfied with the suggested topics, a search function is there to help you narrow down the results.

Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream Review:
Cosrx has a great name for having products with clean and short ingredients lists, which is why it is a brand that I am always interested to try. Their packaging is simple but attractive too, which is another (bad) reason I'm always tempted to buy their products! Because my skin is dehydrated I kept looking for a cream to help fix it, and one with hyaluronic acid, and my research lead to this cream.
I've tried a lot of different creams and moisturizers, but many of them are too light for my skin. But this one sounded quite heavy from the information I read about it. And the fact that it comes as 100 ml seemed even better, because I tend to be very heavy handed with creams. But it's so easy to read reviews or descriptions and totally fall in love with a product before you've even tried it. The real question is whether you still love it after you've used up the jar, or whether you're heartbroken and sad that it failed you miserably.
– Formulated with high concentrated of Hippophae Rhamnoides Water and hyaluronic acid.
– Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream helps to moisturize and nourish your skin deeply.
– This intensely hydrating cream boosts moisture content in your skin and seals it inside, protecting your skin from further loss of hydration while balancing your skin's water and oil content.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Betaine, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arginine, Panthenol, Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, Carbomer, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum
Volume: 100ml
How to use:
1. After applying your toners, serums and essences apply the cream to your face, avoiding the mouth and eye area
2. Tap the areas to help your skin absorb the cream
My skin type: Dry, easily dehydrated skin with mild rosacea.
Cosrx Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream Review:
I'd previously tried the Cosrx hyaluronic acid essence, but I didn't feel like it made any difference to my skin, and so I hoped that I'd have more luck with the cream. The cream has a spatula hiding under the lid, on top of the cover, which actually is a very handy place to have it. I prefer the spatula to be there rather than sitting loose in the box which doesn't seem that hygienic.
Like almost all Cosrx products, it doesn't have much of a smell or fragrance, and I've never been bothered by the scent of this product at all. It's one of the reasons why I like Cosrx products, because they tend not to add fragrances to their products.
The cream itself has an almost silky yet slimy texture to it. It's very light and smooth feeling, yet it's obvious that the cream does contain some oils in it. It spreads easily, and sinks in quite effortlessly as well. For me it's not heavy at all, in fact it feels quite light to me (however, if you have oily or normal skin, it might seem quite heavy to you).
You can see in the pictures how dry my skin looks before the cream is rubbed in, and then how it looks a little less dry once I've patted the cream in.
Because this is a hyaluronic acid cream, it should be good at preventing dehydration and keeping the skin hydrated. At least this is what I hoped when I bought it, and I also hoped that the oils would help the cream to work as an occlusive too.
However, what I found was that this cream on its own wasn't heavy enough. The climate here tends to be quite dry all year around, and so my skin is often dehydrated because of the dry air. I hoped this cream would add a hydration boost and stop the water from evaporating from my skin. I've almost completely used this jar up, it lasted me around three to four months and sadly it didn't do much to help with my dehydration problems.
For me the cream was too light to use alone, but it also didn't work very well as an emulsion or with a heavier cream on top. I also tried using gel type sleeping packs over the cream, but it didn't make much of a difference in the hydration of my skin either. Maybe the problem is my climate, but honestly, I just think this cream isn't suited to my dry skin.
I believe this cream would be best suited to people with oily and dehydrated skin or normal skin, and not for dry skin. At this point in time I have no plan to repurchase this cream, it's a basic cream and it didn't irritate or aggravate my skin, but it also didn't help it at all.

June BIRD (1955)
" Awelye ", 1999
Acrylic on canvas
June Bird lived in the Utopia region located 250 km northeast of Alice Springs. This semi-dessert zone regroups an important Aborigene community composed of Anmatyerre and Alyawarre tribes. Since 1979, some have regained much of the freehold land. During the 19th century they lost ownership but were not forced to move.
This work is inspired by Awelye ceremonies reserved for women in the Utopia region o(central Australian desert), where participants paint on the bodies of other dancers. They execute patterns made with a variety of natural pigments such as ocher ores, charcoal and plant materials fastened with animal fats.
