I had good cause to break open a favorite red the other day as the news crossed my computer that my wine appreciation video on YouTube "How to Taste Wine" had surpassed the Wine Spectator version. Not only that, other versions had just half the viewers we have attracted. The "Taste of Wine" count of a short and long conversation is now 19,899 and 37,605, respectively. You may view this "Taste" video by Googling "You Tube-How To Taste Wine."
It's always a good idea to occasionally think about the essence of wine tasting and how to get the most out of
the experience. Anyone can drink wine. You raise the glass and down it goes. That may be acceptable for some. But with more than 5,000 different wines available, each one just a little bit different from the next in several ways, a simple four-step guide goes a long way in measuring the quality of a wine choice. I call it a four-part harmony "S" test.
Wine tasting really begins with the valuable information on the label. You learn about the vineyard, location, harvest year and the winemaker's philosophy of the wine's value. With a wide bowled, "tulip" style glass that is not cluttered by silly design elements, you are now ready to judge a wine by the following characteristics:
— Sight: including color and clarity.
— Swirl: aerating the wine and observing its "legs."
— Sniff: smelling its aroma and body.
— Sip: tasting the wine, and the lasting effect of its taste.
Sight is like viewing a portrait for rich color and texture. After pouring an amount of wine, about a third of the size of the glass, view the content from the top of the glass. The wine should be clear with no sediment. With whites it will appear more intense in Chardonnay than say a Riesling. With reds, Cabernet should have a deeper, darker color than say a Pinot Noir. Next, swirl the wine by holding the stem tightly and rotate in a counter clockwise direction, but not so hard that the wine spills over the side. You are aerating, allowing air to penetrate the wine and release lovely aromas. Look for the "legs" or residue on the side of the glass. This is evaporated alcohol. If the lines are thick and "leggy" then you have a stronger, alcohol-forward wine. Fourteen percent or more alcohol content will show itself as "leggy."
The smell of the wine is its "bouquet" or "the nose" of the wine.
There are more than 200 different scents attributed to wine, but you may just smell wine, and that's OK too. I recommend getting your nose down into the bowl and do short, sharp inhalations for the most revealing sensation. Don't analyze too much, just enjoy!
The final, most enjoyable climax to this four-part harmony is the sip, and you might add swallow as another by-product of the last "S" to find wines you really love. Slowly let the liquid envelope the many taste buds you possess in your mouth and tongue. It's a wild ride of flavors: fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts, spices, flowers, earth, oak, honey and (you fill in the rest).
So there it is! Sight, swirl, smell and sip. Salute!

I watched the acclaimed indie Wendy and Lucy last month with Firecracker but forgot to write about it, and that's a shame, because it's one of last year's best movies. I'd go as far as to call it, along with Frozen River (full review), as the closest we've come to The Bicycle Thief in recent years. Big talk, yes. But we've since swallowed neorealism and it takes a quiet, introspective film like this to bring it back to us. If Sean Penn watched this before Into the Wild it might have gone from good to great.
Wendy and Lucy is a deceptively simple film, and that will lead to accusations of pretentiousness. They are unwarranted. We meet Wendy, inseparable from her dog Lucy, a perky and lovable sandy mix. We're slowly introduced to their situation through visuals, as Wendy tries to sell some aluminum cans at a recycling center; she's homeless, living out of her car, tightly budgeting things so she can make it to Alaska and work in a cannery. She drives a beat-up Toyota and lives out of it with Lucy, and she's made it as far as the Northwest. We don't dwell on or pity her, for she meets some who are less well-off, as she walks Lucy by the railroad tracks. They live in the woods, and ride the trains to get around, modern day hobos.
People living like Wendy are just one crisis away from tragedy, and we get to see it happen. Her car breaks down; she makes a risky decision, and suffers the consequences. The drama mostly plays out on Wendy's face; Michelle Williams isn't Maria Falconetti in The Passions of Joan of Arc but she does an excellent job of expressing the history and emotional depth Wendy has with Lucy, and with her family. She's been in Brokeback Mountain, The Station Agent and Synecdoche, NY as well. Director Kelly Reichardt does a fine job of telling us a story through conversation and images. For example, Wendy's backstory is explained only through a phone call to her sister, and we know volumes from how she answers: "What do you want now?"
It's a sad and touching story that gives a face to the marginal. to quote F. Scott Fitzgerald- you can start with a person, and end up with a type; if you start with a type, you end up with nothing. Wendy and Lucy gives us a person who we can empathize with by the end of the film, as she agonizes through decisions and doesn't always make the right one. Our Puritan heritage may make us want her to suffer for her decisions, but hopefully we also have some Christian charity that can forgive her, and see the long road that led to them, where bootstraps could find no purchase.

RIP, Steve Jobs
As soon as I heard that Steve Jobs had died I went on Facebook and posted, "RIP, Steve Jobs." There were many responses, some that surprised me. A few people talked in glowing terms about how Jobs had transformed their lives, as though he were a spiritual guru. Some talked as though they were losing a long-time friend. This response surprised me: these people didn't know him personally, and while Jobs could be charming and charismatic on stage, otherwise he wasn't very accessible and could be prickly.
For baby boomers the passing of Jobs has special meaning. We not only remember a time before personal computers but also that Steve Jobs was a baby boomer, one of us. Our generation has a reputation for being self-indulgent, yet Jobs was a highly disciplined, self-motivated person who used his creative genius for the common good. He makes us proud.
I wonder if something more is involved in the great outpouring of grief over Jobs's death. Is it because we are addicted to our technological gadgets and, like a drug dealer, Jobs supplied new gadgets to feed our habit? Is it just another sign of our consumer culture that a creator of consumer products is revered and grieved when he dies?
Here is another explanation: Jobs may represent the end of a great period of American achievement, from Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. We have a right to worry that the next Steve Jobs will not be American, but will come instead from Japan, China or India
Political analyst Howard Fineman said the next general election in the United States is a referendum on whether we can nurture a future Steve Jobs and allow him to flourish and benefit from his creativity. To nurture a future Jobs is the vision of Democrats: we'll need planning and government initiative and expenditure to provide the conditions that nurture genius. Think about all the creative energy produced by the government's response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik. School children were encouraged to pursue careers in science and engineering. Student grants and loans were provided to make it happen. It is part of the Republican agenda to give freedom to creative geniuses and entrepreneurs like Jobs in order flourish and to benefit from their efforts.
The great success of the American experiment in the 20th century was that there was a balance between the two: the nurturing of conditions to grow talent and the freedom to let creative, entrepreneurial people flourish on their own. Can we can strike that balance again? We need a national conversation about what that might look like in the 21st century.

R.I.P., an abbreviation for rest in peace (Latin: requiescat in pace) has nothing to do with our Christian theology or any theology; it comes from medieval Roman Catholic burial liturgy.
Most people think that it can be deduced from Isaiah 57:2.
It is poor theological imagination to inform our increasingly secular society about this medieval European myth.

Additional Legacy
A tangential legacy of Steve Jobs has nothing to do with Apple Computer and everything to do with pancreatic cancer: Steve was willing to buck the trend to avoid speaking about the taboo subject of death, choosing instead to deal with the subject directly in the course of speaking to groups of students, for example. We don't like to speak about death: not just the baby-boom generation (of whom I, like Steve, am a member) in its myopic preoccupation with the delusion of eternal youth or even immortality, but plenty of other generations as well have developed countless eupemisms for death precisely because we don't want to confront it. Steve spoke openly about death (even using the word!), and the way in which mortality affected and inspired his living. It's an approach that the religious community might well examine in terms of honestly dealing with dying as part of living and vice versa. Isn't that an essential part of understanding incarnation and resurrection and the connection between the two?

Question: Sir, I have observed that if one is not enjoying the path of one's journey then how much glorious the result or the end of the journey may seem, one still feels unaccomplished. How to know what is good for me, rather than chasing different goals and then getting disappointed?
Speaker: 'If the journey is not in joy, what is the point in chasing the destination?' Is it so?
Let's invert it:
Any journey that makes you heavy and tensed cannot be good for you. Check the goal.
A good goal is one that gives you a journey in joy.
Question: How to find that path which gives a journey in joy?
Sir, I have a very good example of my question. Many of my friends want to join defence services. For them to be a defence officer means to earn a good salary and to have reputation. Many of them would refuse to join if they come to know how much hardship is involved in the training. So, for them the goal is very good but they don't like the path, that is the training, of becoming a defence officer.
Goals are glorious. But it is very difficult to know 'the glorious path' to the goal. And that makes all the difference.
What is the goal for a terrorist? – Kill.
What is the goal for a Hindu? – Temple.
What is the goal for a Muslim? – Mosque.
What is the goal for a fly? – Dirt and rubbish.
What is the goal for a hormone-driven body? – Physical pleasure
What is the goal for a greedy mind? – Money
What is the goal for a bored mind? – Adventure
What is the goal for a dependent mind? – Social acceptance
What is the goal for an insecure mind? – A feeling of security
What is the goal that the mind chases? – That goal which it has been taught to chase.
1. Are you sure that goals are glorious?
2. Are you sure that goals do not arise from conditioning?
Any and all goals, are they not for the same reasons?
jiska jo goal hota hai use to theek aur jayaz lagta hai
(the one who has a goal finds it right and justified)
Question: Sir, I have observed one more thing. I asked you one question, you answered me with another question. Does this mean that the answer is within me?
Speaker: Yes, very well observed!
All answers will arise from within you. All you need is a gentle and clear guidance. The role of the teacher is to help awaken intelligence.
Question: So, I got to answer the question myself?
Speaker: No. No answer can come from the same 'I' that asked the question. So, it may just be the arrogance of ego that 'I can answer it for myself'.
Ask: what is this 'I' that will answer? Is it not the same conditioned mind? Then how can it give me any free and real answers?
-Based on my interactions on various e-forums.

As a Learning and Development professional, I have an ongoing fascination with how best to measure Return on Investment (ROI). I was however surprised to find so much of interest concerning the pitfalls of ROI calculations when reading about Forbes' latest list of the most overpaid Hollywood actors.
To compile its list, Forbes calculated a limited definition of each movie's operating income by subtracting the estimated production budget from the global box office for each actor's last three significant films. This operating income is then divided by the estimated total income for each star on the three movies to come up with the final ROI figure.
Using these calculations, the top ten list of overpaid actors includes such stars as Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson and Brad Pitt. Outstripping all of these however is the mighty Johnny Depp, returning a paltry $1.20 for every $1 invested.
At the other end of the scale, Chris Evans provides the best value, returning a whopping $181.80 per $1, followed by Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow. This appears to give a clear indication that Chris Evans is just over 150 times better value than Johnny Depp. Or does it?
Let's look for a start at what exactly is being measured. Global box office is a convenient measure to use: it's published soon after a film's release and is widely-publicised. Is it however a reliable indicator of a film's true value? What about the other lucrative forms of distribution such as subscription services, DVD sales and TV that may well serve some films better in the long term than others.
Although big names undoubtedly attract audiences, are they the only factor that influences the success or otherwise of a film? What role does the director have (or the script writers, producers, editors, cinematographers and so on)? Just how would Depp's flop Mortdecai have fared with a different actor in the title role? Would it have been made at all? And are audiences really going to see Chris Evans in the many films where he portrays Captain America, or is it a reflection of an ongoing fascination with all things superhero? Just how lucky was Gwyneth Paltrow to have Iron Man 3 to offset her own contribution to Mortdecai?
ROI is of course an important indicator that's taken very seriously by some (but not all) stakeholders. It is of course not the only measure. In Black Mass, a film that fell just outside the timeframe for Forbes' list (and one that earned respectable but not outstanding box office returns), Johnny Depp put in a performance that has been greeted as a return to form, with suggestions that it could even receive an academy award nomination.
Calculating ROI, whether for Hollywood stars or for an organisation's learning and development provision, is clearly complicated. Clarity about what you're measuring and why is crucial. Among the many questions to ask are:
- Am I using the right measures?
- Am I using measures that are easy to apply, but which may not provide entirely accurate information?
- Am I measuring quick returns or longer term impact?
- What else might have influenced the outcome?
- Are there other measures that should also be considered?

Networking Tips
Some people are naturally outgoing, and enjoy all aspects of networking. For others, the idea of networking can cause a lot of anxiety. They avoid networking for a variety of reasons including lack of confidence, fear of rejection, and a sense of unworthiness.
The following tips apply to everyone, but will be particularly helpful for those who dread networking opportunities. Realize that successful networking is all about building intimate, sincere relationships based on mutual generosity.
- Start small: practice networking with people you already know.
- Volunteer at large events (Career Fair, Reunion): this gives one purpose, and you benefit from teamwork.
- Arrive early for group events to get comfortable in the setting: you can speak with the others who are early to build confidence; essentially you will be the first group and will avoid the awkwardness of joining an established group.
- Smile: you will look confident and approachable. Try not to be so focused and anxious that you frown, scowl, or look too serious.
- Set a realistic networking goal: meet five new people, not everyone.
- Be yourself: be authentic and engaging, but not artificial.
- Ask a question: after getting the gist of a conversation, this is an easy way to engage.
- Listen: ask people about their experiences and opinions, then listen with sincere interest.
- Ask for introductions: while it may feel more comfortable to stick with one person, it defeats the purpose of networking. Ask if one new person knows anyone else that s/he might introduce you to.
- Be prepared: if you tend to get tongue-tied, prepare ice-breaker questions and your personal pitch in advance. Anticipate questions you may be asked, and have clear, concise answers at the ready.
- Do not be afraid of rejection: not everyone you meet can help you, so don't take it personally.
- Take risks: the person next to you at a wedding or on a plane may be a fabulous contact or know the right person to introduce you to.
- View the Mingling: Making and Managing New Connections video on CCS Media Site for help planning your networking interactions at events and receptions.

Elizabeth and I connected through our blogs and sent each other stories to critique. She was the first person to read the story that landed me an agent 🙂 I gave Liz feedback on another story but it was her book The Second Sign that landed her a publishing deal. I finally read the book after waiting ages for it to come out and I thought it was fab. I'd describe it as a YA supernatural thriller about a girl and boy who find themselves caught up in the war between angels and demons. It's fast paced, full of action and romance and well worth reading.
The Goodreads summary of The Second Sign: Bred to believe in the war between angels and demons, Gabby has come to the conclusion that love is responsible for war, jealousy, and all the other deadly sins she can think of. So when she's exiled to the middle of nowhere for getting kicked out of her fifth school for fighting, she doesn't expect to meet Jake. Much less fall in love. But Jake is quickly drawn to the eerie beauty of her violet eyes while Gabby is unsettled by their undeniable connection.
When a demon guardian comes to collect her soul, she refuses to give it up. She's not a demon. She can't be. Her father and twin brother are angels. The demon gives Gabby twenty-four hours to decide her allegiance, and then starts killing her short list of friends, leaving a message behind: She is the Second Sign.
As Gabby and Jake begin to unravel the mystery behind the Second Sign, she learns Jake may be the key to saving her soul. But it means a sacrifice has to be made that will change their lives forever.
How did you come up with the idea for The Second Sign?
The idea came to me in a dream. Weird, I know. During construction of my basement, I dreamt one of the workers, dressed in red coveralls, entered my bathroom without a word. After a few minutes, he came out, stepped into the light, and exploded. But before he exploded he mentioned the second something. Second coming, second sign…something that I needed to get a grasp on. And after doing some research I found the biblical reference of the Second Sign. And a story was born.
The book creates a world where angels and demons are at war – did you have to do any research for the book and what interested you about these creatures?
I've always been afraid of demons. As a kid my dad would tell us stories about how the devil roamed the countryside taking a form of a man with a goats hoof. Kinda explains why I came out the way I did…lol.
Anyway…I always wanted to write something scary and since demons scare the crap out of me, and after the weird dream, I went with it. Now the angels are a different story. They were harder to grasp. But after seeing some images as to how angels are portrayed. I started to fill in the blanks using my creative license. The element of free-will and the theory that love, hate, and everything in between is inherent in ALL living beings was born. Yes, even demons.
You write the story from both Gabby and Jake's point of view – how did you draw their characters and did you find it challenging to juggle two POV's?
I have always been curious with the whole nature vs. nurture question. Are we a product of our experiences in the world, or our biology? Or both? I drew Gabby's character with that thought in mind. She's half angel, her biology dictates that. But she is also experiencing the world through a different view point than her angel brother. This internal conflict drives her.
I wanted Jake to be her complete opposite. While she is pessimistic, he sees hope. While she doesn't trust anyone, he trusts her. He is her better half. And he experiences the most change in his character arc at the end.
Writing from both POV's was a challenge because I wanted it to be alternating chapters and I needed to show certain things through the viewpoint that made more sense, so I structured the scenes around the chapters.
There will be a sequel to the book (yay!) – did you find it difficult deciding how many answers to give the reader and how much to hold back for the next book?
Yes! I wanted TSS to have a mysterious element. Who did it? I didn't want the answers to be obvious. During the querying stage of book one, I only had the first three chapters of book two outlined with a broad overview of the theme. But after book one published I started connecting the dots and they fell in place a bit too perfectly. Let's just say, I expect that most of what went unanswered in book one is touched on in book two, hopefully, seamlessly. I relied on my betas and crit partners for book one to let me know how confused they were 🙂
Who is your favourite character in the book and why?
I actually fell in love with Pat. I am drawn to dark, broken characters. I had a lot of questions for Pat. But I also had to keep it elusive because book one wasn't about him and I didn't want to move the focus away from Gabby and Jake.
There is a lot of death and destruction in the book – was it important to you to not to sugarcoat anything for your YA audience?
This is such a great question! The first murder scene I wrote was Marty's possession, and it happened during the first draft with little thought on my part. If that makes sense. It just happened. After she does what she does and enters her brother's room I stopped writing. I had to pull away and regroup. I asked myself what the eff is going on? How could she? Why is this scene important? Is it too dark?
I realized then the story I was writing was dark. I also realized this was a pivotal point in the story to show the dangerous situation Gabby faced that would ultimately lead her down a path I wanted her to follow. Yes. It was necessary. I brainstormed it with my son. He loved it. I kept it. It wasn't until after the reviews came in that I realized the reason why it was so dark. I wrote it in the POV of Marty. The person doing the action. It wasn't a bystander looking in, but us looking out. And I think that changed the level of intimacy with the scene and the level of fear.
The tone of the book and the battle between angels and demons reminded me of TV show Supernatural – did you have any inspirations that fed into The Second Sign?
Ha! I'm so happy you asked this. Actually, no. But I found Supernatural after I started submitting. I had posted the first 250 words for review during a contest on my blog and one of the bloggers mentioned that it sounded like Supernatural. I'm like…yeah, it is supernatural. Then I looked it up and I found Dean. **swoons** I did a whole week of catching up on netflix. My son is now urging me to add the car in book two. lol.
(VW -this means we can have a photo of Dean, right? Right!)
The Second Sign is your debut novel – did you know it would be The One when you were writing it?
No. I didn't. I wrote TSS on a rebound from my first manuscript heartbreak. The one I wrote and submitted before TSS. I wrote this one to forget the other one. But I became optimistic when my crit partner said this was the one. She obviously knows more than me.
What advice do you have for aspiring authors out there?
I don't want to discourage anyone. And there are some great success stories out there. Those are the ones we tend to hear and clutch on to. Publishing is hard work and you really need a thick skin to stay alive. It helped me to remind myself that publication is a perk, and not the reason I started writing in the first place. Even if I don't publish anything any more I will continue to write because it is a part of me. So for advice…don't lose the core reason of why you write. Do it because you love it and everything will fall into place.
Thanks for the interview! I do have a Q/A group up on Goodreads if anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer them.
Thanks Liz! If anyone has another question for Liz or me, feel free to ask it below!

I've seen innumerable productions of The Crucible, Arthur Miller's drama in which the Salem witch trials of 1692 serve as a political allegory for the 1950s Red Scare. Still, I chose to review Point Park University's Conservatory Theatre Company's new staging of this work that premiered in 1953. I enjoy The Crucible if for no other reason than because it's from an era when play structure and construction were considered essential elements of playwriting. And Arthur Miller wrote steel-beamed, iron-riveted tales.
With Shirley Tannenbaum's textbook example of intelligent and meticulous direction, this production gives Miller's writing its full due. Thanks to the work of Tannenbaum and company, it's impossible not to revel in Miller's technical genius.
What I hadn't counted on, not having seen the play in several years, is that The Crucible is, amazingly, more relevant than it's ever been. Forget Joseph McCarthy's HUAC hearings, to which this play was written in response. I've just come through the ugliest presidential election of my life. The Crucible feels as though it were written last week as a slightly fictionalized portrait of the black, venomous powers that have controlled the political landscape over the past few years.
In Salem — certainly in Miller's recreation of it — all that's required to make you a witch is to be accused. The truth doesn't matter; in fact, when political hysteria is fueled by lies, truth and reason are actually liabilities. Brilliantly, but never obviously, Miller shows how a handful of people can, through nothing other than clear-eyed self-interest, level a charge (the more absurd the better) and a frightened, uneducated, religiously maniacal crowd can be whipped into lethal, faith-based frenzy. And in his most breathtaking and blood-chilling stroke, the accusations, trials, convictions and executions are carried out with learned, legal righteousness.
It's no exaggeration to say that at various points I was actually nauseated. When, in the final act, a thrillingly talented Alex Walton, as John Proctor, refuses to sign a false confession to save his life, the character's famous line "It is my name! I will never have another!" seemed to come not only from the pit of Walton's soul, but my own as well. My sobs would have alarmed anyone around me ... if they hadn't been crying just as loudly.
Zach Weirich, Luke Halferty and Joe Rittenhouse, playing three men in various stages of enthrallment to their own certitude, turn in powerful, mammoth performances, adding unfaltering support to Walton.
If there is one big problem with The Crucible, it's that Miller — as is unfortunately true in most of his work — never breaks free from the Madonna/Whore paradigm in his female characters. That makes the nuanced accomplishments of Hilary Williams, as Abigail, and Lily Davis, as Elizabeth Proctor, that much more remarkable.
It's depressing as hell, but Point Park's Crucible is essential viewing.

Around the House: In praise of more human-friendly lighting
If you were to shrink human evolution into 24 hours, artificial light would have existed for a mere seven seconds. Having been around for such a relatively short time, it's had an out-sized effect on the way people work, play, and sleep.
British neuroscientist Dr. Karen Dawe concedes that while there have been enormous benefits from artificial light, it can be hard on humans, whose behavior has been directed for millennia by the rising and setting of the sun.
"Daylight changes in colour and intensity throughout the day," says Dawe, who after 17 years as a neuroscientist at Bristol University joined the lighting team at technology juggernaut Dyson in 2017. "With most domestic lighting … you flick a switch and it comes on at its brightness and colour temperature and it stays like that until you switch it off. That's completely at odds with what our visual system has adapted to."
The Dyson gig, which combines research with home product development, is a good fit for Dawe, who has long been fascinated by how lifestyle and the environment affect physiology. Her brief now includes developing lighting that improves quality of life.
It starts with an understanding of the crucial role light plays in human experience, says Dawe. "We care now about our air quality, where our water comes from and what's in it. But as primarily visual creatures, we consume light massively. To date, we have not really paid attention to the quality of light and what it's doing to us. But the Circadian rhythms you see in everything — algae, bacteria, funguses — are fundamental drivers of our existence"
Dawe's contribution to more human-friendly light came as part of a team that created Dyson's Lightcycle Morph, the second iteration of a light fixture that tracks natural daylight, intelligently transforms it for the user's task, age, mood, and local daylight, and continually adjusts colour temperature and brightness.
How does it do that? The short answer is that by using data from over a million atmospheric measurements of light conditions in the earth's atmosphere at different times of day, a 32-bit microcontroller continually interprets and communicates data to a very sensitive optical driver.
There are pre-set study, relax, precision, boost, wake-up, and sleep modes, and users can assign up to 20 custom settings. Recognizing, for example, that a 65-year-old needs up to four times more light than a 20-year-old, the light also corrects brightness based on the age entered into the app. It's also designed to reduce the flicker that can cause eye strain and fatigue. Dimming and colour temp can be controlled manually, and the unit has a USB-C charger for phones and tablets.
The fixture uses three warm and three cool LEDs. To solve the overheating often associated with them, a heat-pipe technology that draws heat away from LEDs using a bead of water was devised. According to Dyson, that means light quality will last unchanged last 60 years.
The optical head rotates 360 degrees, so light can be bounced off walls, floors and ceilings, or above a favourite piece of art.
A colour-warming orange filter can reduce colour temperature low enough to simulate the glow of candlelight. "That's exactly what is most sympathetic to your body clock at night — a warmer, dimmer light," says Dawe.
The Lightcycle Morph is available at Dyson Demo stores in Toronto and Vancouver and on DysonCanada.ca. Desk lights start at $850. Black/Black and White/Silver finish combinations are available.
Dawe believes thoughtfully-designed lighting can not only improve visual health, but enhance physical and mental well-being. "When I was studying biology, you learned about each system separately, "she says. "More recently, people realize that the human body doesn't actually respect those divisions — that these systems all interact, all the time."

The Nigeria Football Federation has debunked a claim by Newcastle that Shola Ameobi will skip next month's African Cup of Nations and that coach Stephen Keshi is aware of this.
"We are not aware of such a thing about Shola (Ameobi), he is a FIFA-listed player for us. The federation is not aware, the head coach is not aware of this and that was why Shola was called up for the competition.
"We will do all within us to see that Shola or any player picked by the coach for the Nations Cup is released to us," spokesman for the NFF, Ademola Olajire, told MTNFootball.com.
Newcastle United manager, Alan Pardew, said Shola Ameobi will not be going to the Nations Cup with Nigeria, according to BBC sports.
The Kogi State indigene is on the 32-man provisional squad released by Keshi last week.
Pardew said: "Shola won't be going. The national team manager knows the reasons, which I am keeping to myself."
Ameobi made an encouraging debut in a 3-1 friendly win over Venezuela last month, setting up the third goal in Miami.

After decades of accusations of unfair treatment from black students, including black student athletes, on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU), a black Kenyan national is the first to sue the Mormon-owned flagship school in Provo, Utah, in federal court for racial discrimination. This history-making case is set for trial in federal court beginning June 2019. The plaintiff identified in the lawsuit as John Oirya, contends that BYU discriminated against him on the basis of his race, color, national origin and gender over a course of 10 years. The lawsuit asserts that BYU administration unjustly and unlawfully discharged him from campus in the spring of 2013 over a host of fraudulent claims, contained in more than 1,131 pages of records, that BYU invented against him. In addition, the suit includes defamation against BYU, because the school secretly and unlawfully released information in these records to Auburn University without his knowledge, awareness or authorization. Auburn officials relied upon these allegations from BYU to expel him from his doctoral program and employment at the University in the spring of 2015. Mr. Oirya is separately suing Auburn for $5M in federal court because the University did not notify him regarding the complaints it had received from BYU prior to ousting him over the allegations and, hence, he was denied due process.
The plaintiff initially filed the lawsuit against BYU in November 2016, alleging gender discrimination. Currently pending before court is his second amended complaint, in which he is seeking the court's leave to include additional claims of discrimination on the basis of his race, color and national origin. The proposed amended complaint alleges 18 causes of action and seeks $10M in damages against BYU. BYU is opposing the amended complaint, possibly setting a stage for a protracted legal confrontation. Surprisingly, this is the first known racial discrimination lawsuit against BYU under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that Congress enacted to prohibit schools that receive federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color or national origin. The lawsuit claims that throughout Mr. Oirya's enrollment at BYU, from 2002 through 2013, the university discriminated against and harassed him by fostering a hostile educational and work environment on campus. The amended complaint further alleges that this racially hostile environment was perpetuated through pervasive folklore at BYU that originated from the Utah-based mainline Mormon Church and its leaders. The amended complaint lists several racist teachings by the Mormon faith and its leadership that BYU allegedly incorporated into its educational environment, including its course curricula, classroom discourses, libraries and work environment. In his book, When Race Religion and Sport Collide: Blacks at BYU and Beyond, Darron T. Smith, a former instructor at BYU, documents several experiences of former black student athletes at BYU who equally felt they were unfairly profiled, targeted by school officials, harassed and discriminated against on the basis of race.
This stunning news comes just one week after loopholes were exposed in BYU's 2016 honor code and Title IX policy changes that were supposed to grant victims of sexual assault amnesty. And now it seems the university is poised for a court battle over its practices surrounding race. The Mormon Church or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is no stranger to racial controversy stemming from racist teachings by church authorities dating back to Brigham Young that black people were cursed descendants from the biblical counterfigure, Cain. These religious views ignited several protests at colleges and universities during the 1960s. In 2017, CBS Sports did a documentary on one such protest that took place against BYU at the University of Wyoming in 1969, when 14 black football players chose to protest against the Church-owned school by wearing black armbands during the game. When they took their concerns to their coach prior to the game, he swiftly removed all of the 14 black athletes from the team without any discussion. These men became known as "The Black 14," and their story made national headlines as they were forced to suspend their education and leave school amid the turmoil.
In 1978, the LDS Church reversed its 130-year-old policy and practice of denying black men access to its lay priesthood and denying women access to its temples but failed to remove its offensively racist commentary from its official church publications. Currently, the curriculum for Mormon youth, ages 12 through 18, known as "Aaronic Priesthood Manual 3" (page 128)[1], and the curriculum for college-aged young Mormon adults, ages 19 through 30, known as "Eternal Marriage Student Manual" (page 169)[2] both continue to declare that the faith's members should "generally" marry spouses of the same racial background. In December 2013, the Mormon Church released an essay entitled "Race and the Priesthood," claiming that "[t]oday, the [Mormon] Church disavows [its] theories advanced in the past that … mixed-race marriages are a sin." However, the LDS Church continues to promote and disseminate this racist teaching. It has failed to remove the offensive language from its curricula. The teaching is still conspicuously posted on the Mormon church's official website to the current day, www.lds.org.
The lawsuit against BYU may have major implications for other academic institutions throughout the United States that receive federal financial assistance in how they respond to complaints of harassment and discrimination in their learning environments. In 1979, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a landmark lawsuit Cannon v. University of Chicago, mandated that all federally-funded institutions adopt, publish and enforce detailed policies and procedures for ending harassment and discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin and gender in the same manner. Since then, many schools have generally published their stringent policies, and appointed school officials (usually known as Title IX coordinators), to resolve gender-based complaints of harassment and discrimination. However, schools including BYU have generally neglected to respond to race, color and national origin-based complaints with the same vigor as to gender discrimination. Accordingly, Mr. Oirya is asking the federal court to order BYU to equally adopt and publish policies on race, color and national origin and appoint school officials, known as Title VI coordinators, experienced with the needs of students of color to implement these policies on its campus. If successful, the ruling may set a precedent for all other colleges and universities throughout the United States. A GoFundMe account has been established to raise funds to cover the legal costs for Mr. Oirya's ongoing litigation. The fundraising campaign states that the lawsuit will bring about much needed justice and reform for black students who are disproportionately harassed and discriminated by BYU and other discriminatory institutions in the United States, for dubious or unfounded allegations.

Kretschmar®, Festival Foods of Minnesota and Country Music Star Easton Corbin Team Up to Support Make-A-Wish®
LISLE, III. (October 21, 2016) – Kretschmar® Premium Meats & Cheeses has partnered with Festival Foods of Minnesota and country music star Easton Corbin to donate $1,000 to Make-A-Wish® Minnesota. Kretschmar made the donation in St. Paul Monday as part of its Legendary Wishes campaign, which helps Make-A-Wish grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Three-time American Country Award winner Easton Corbin invited 16-year-old cancer survivor Miranda and her family backstage before his performance. Corbin presented a donation of $1,000 to help Make-A-Wish Minnesota grant future wishes just like Miranda's, her wish to visit Hawaii will be granted in two weeks.
"It was an honor to present Make-A-Wish Minnesota with a check for $1,000 to help bring more wishes to life," said Corbin. "I'm proud to show my support for this cause. This is something really special that Kretschmar is doing across the country to make dreams come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions."
Miranda and her family and friends were also treated to a live performance by Corbin, Kretschmar's brand ambassador for 2016. Easton hit the music scene in 2009 with a #1 single, "A Little More Country Than That" and won several Breakthrough Artist awards. Since then, Corbin has released three hit albums with songs including "Roll With It," "Lovin' You is Fun," and "All Over the Road." Corbin has a full schedule in 2016 and is currently touring with Carrie Underwood, as well as performing in his own headlining shows.
"This has been an amazing experience and I am honored Kretschmar invited me to represent Make-A-Wish Minnesota," said Miranda. "I listen to country music all the time, so meeting Easton Corbin is so cool! His music helps bring a smile to so many faces and I know this donation will too."
Since partnering with Make-A-Wish in 2012, Kretschmar has donated more than $600,000 nationally and sponsored more than 12 wishes with local chapters through its Legendary Wishes campaign. Along with its retail partners, Kretschmar has raised additional funding through in-store sales of Make-A-Wish paper stars, employee donations and sandwich fundraisers. Those efforts have raised more than $85,000, which was given to local Make-A-Wish chapters to grant even more wishes.
"Supporting Make-A-Wish and making wishes come true for children is something very gratifying for us," said Michael J. Sargent, Senior Brand Manager, Kretschmar. "Our contribution can support Make-A-Wish throughout the year, and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to help fulfill special wishes for children."
This year, Kretschmar helped grant three wishes across the country. In Joplin, Mo., Kretschmar teamed up with Make-A-Wish Missouri to grant a 17-year-old's wish to restore his father's 1970 pick-up. Along with Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee, Kretschmar granted the wish of a teen who wanted to attend the CMA Music Festival in Nashville. The 17-year-old experienced the country music trip of a lifetime; four days of VIP treatment in the
Music City, including an all-star concert at Nissan Stadium and a private Kretschmar Country concert. Kretschmar also helped send a 14-year-old girl to the San Francisco Zoo through Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana.

Exodus Chart: Shocking Graph Shows French Jews Fleeing to Israel in Historic Numbers
by SCOTT OTT

European economy, high French taxes and the inviting business atmosphere of Israel are behind the veritable exodus of French Jews from their country to Abraham's promised land.
But it's hard to discount Jew-hatred and the threat of violence reminiscent of 1930s Germany, as radical Islam burns with rage and is not quenched.
The surge of French Jews emigrating to Israel is unprecedented in the post-World War II era. Last year, for the first time, France exceeded the United States for Jews making aliyah — the Hebrew term for "going up" to Israel, a core element of the Zionist movement.

I gave up when it was obvious that the car was going to slide off the cliff if I did anything else, and walked a ways downhill to find help. Eventually I found someone who drove me back into town. I got back home at about 5:00 AM and crashed for a few hours. Then I woke up, drove (different car!) to a friend's house and we both went back up the mountain to retrieve the car. We towed it out after barely saving it from falling off the cliff.
As I drove back to town I thought to myself that a cigar might be a special treat after an ordeal like that... And that was pretty much that.

Thank goodness, maybe Dallas school board President Miguel Solis has found an honorable, face-saving way out of the school board reform thicket that the mayor led us into last spring. Not a moment too soon.
Some members of the so-called Home Rule Commission, charged with inventing a whole new way to govern the city's public school system, have been looking as happy as kids on a runaway school bus lately; they're pressed against the windows mouthing, "Heelp meeee!"
The commission started with a good idea, but it was constrained by some really bad law and implemented in the worst possible way. It was based on a perception that certain kinds of dysfunction are baked into the system at school headquarters, especially the desire of elected school board members to micromanage the district's operations.
On the administrative side, board-member meddling is a longstanding illness with symptoms that range on the scale from bad business practices to corruption. On the academic side and at particular schools, the symptoms can be anything from cronyism to total academic failure.
The 15-member commission is supposed to vote January 20 on whether to write a new charter for the school system or pull the plug on the whole thing ... the commission, that is, not the school district, although some commission members have been accused of promoting the latter.
The problem has always been that state law -- or, as some legal authorities in this area might call it, stupid state law -- called for the commission to be made up equally of people who love the idea of charter reform and people who hate it. Guess what. The only thing that could resolve that impasse is a funeral. (Not ... repeat NOT a suggestion.)
The commission is headed by Bob Weiss, retired vice president for administration at the Meadows Foundation, a former chairman of the Dallas Plan Commission and a person generally credited as a smart, fair political arbitrator. But the commission itself was saddled with an even worse structure than the school board it was supposed to fix. Wrong direction.
To make it worse, Mayor Mike Rawlings, the unofficial leader of the charter reform effort, was incredibly politically inept in bringing it about and introducing it. He started by crafting the thing in the closed-door country club mode typical of the old establishment, so that everybody else was paranoid as hell before it ever even got out the door. Then in trying to sell it, he got testy and walked out on grassroots community leaders who asked respectful but pointed questions. Then he turns the reins over to Weiss, like, "This horse is all wet and lame. You ride it."
Yeah, thanks, Mayor.

We've sort of known since last May that the home rule effort was unlikely to carry to term: That's when lawyer and education activist Mark Melton failed to win the support of commission members for a face-saving compromise that could have been called, "No new charter but a lot of swell ideas."

Since then, the charter commission, hopelessly divided between those who wanted to shoot the other members and those who wanted to shoot themselves, has not been able to agree on anything, face-saving or otherwise. But in an op-ed essay in The Dallas Morning News yesterday, Solis announced he's setting up his own ad hoc committee on governance and will charge his new committee with "continuing this conversation by analyzing any suggested changes presented by the Home Rule Commission in order to identify more ways in which we can increase our effectiveness as a district."
Get it? On the 20th, the Home Rule Commission does itself and everybody else in town a favor by walking out back and shooting itself in the head. But it's OK: not to worry that the effort was wasted or the legacy will not be honored. The Solis ad hoc committee will carry on where the commission fell overboard.
The unpleasant newspaper columnist side of me -- oh, wait, is there another side? -- wants to suggest that Solis' committee will wind up with weighty proposals from the commission like: "Treat each other with respect. No, you treat each other with respect, butt-head. No, YOU treat each other with respect, ass-hole!"
But I do have a lot of respect for Weiss and many of the members of the commission, and I have to believe there is some really good work buried in there somewhere. If Solis can tease some of it out this way, more power to him. In the meantime, when are we going to stop looking for political leaders in country clubs? That's where you look for good golfers and tipsy pretty ladies. Not leaders. When do we learn?

I was incredibly shocked and saddened to see the amount of damage at NYBG by the recent hurricane… perhaps one of the most dramatic examples was of the 100+ year old black oak in the parking lot. It apparently hit the research building, miraculously glancing off and creating just a small dent in the roof line. When it finally came to rest, I was amazed to see how small the root mass was, proportionate to the size and age of the tree. Notoriously persnickety, I was surprised to see that it had taken root against a major rock formation – thus not allowing it to drive down a tap root. Instead, a network of fairly small roots had fanned out and filled the limitations of the space the rock allowed the tree. It's incredible that the tree had grown to the size and age that it had; it probably should have fallen down many years ago.

The Aftermath
12 Nov
Feel the heat!
Can you believe it… snow just a few days ago – and today, the temperatures hit 65+ degrees! It's no wonder the plants are going a little haywire…
11 Nov
Smoke on the water…
Driving up the Henry Hudson Parkway this morning towards NYBG, and as I looked over the Hudson River, I realized that it was completely socked in with fog. Not entirely surprising, given the unseasonable warm temperatures with more typical river conditions. Wish I could stop and take a picture… but not wise when you're behind the wheel on a 2 lane bridge!
9 Nov
Snow on the Palisades… snowflakes blooming in the garden!
I'm so glad to see that some of the snow is still hanging on, despite the much warmer temperatures. All along the west side of Manhattan, I can glimpse the whiteness clinging to the tops and ridges of the Palisades.
Ironically, the warm weather is prompting several plants to bloom at the Garden… today I was blown away by the hardy camellias!
8 Nov
First snowfall of the season
Looks like the Nor'easter has arrived… and, while they projected just a chance of snow… it looks like the first snowfall of the year has finally arrived at 1:55pm!
I sincerely hope that this won't be as bad as last year… the trees are still fairly leafed out – though not nearly as much as 2011. I'm sure there'll be some trees that are already weakened by the hurricane – so let's keep our fingers crossed.
6 Nov
What's in bloom
Just walked through Central Park today – and the trumpet honeysuckle is in bloom! Pretty touch of pink and green, especially since a lot of the leaves have been blown off by Sandy.
There is another plant that is blooming, closer to the 79th Street crosstown drive (@ 5th Avenue) that I'm going to have to look up. Seems it might be similar to a rhododendron, since it's a sizeable bush, with leaves that appear to be the same color and shape… just have to do it when I'm not on the bus or sitting in the back of a cab!
5 Nov
First time this year!
Just heard the news: Today is the first day when temperatures have dipped below freezing since March 2012. Very interested to know how this compares to years past…

Big Band Jazz Showcased at Viridian Center
Jan 28, 2016 12:33PM
By Bryan Scott
By Mylinda LeGrande | [email protected]
West Jordan - Audience members were in for a special treat on Jan. 9 at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan. A beautifully decorated venue featuring a silvery sheer fabric backdrop lit vertically with strings of lights set the stage for the show. The concert was part of the "Excellence in the Community Concert Series." Founded in 2005, it is a 501-C3, non-profit organization, sponsored by ZAP, Larry H & Gail Miller Family Foundation along with other charities.
"We are a startup, grassroots do-it-yourself organization. We are trying to make more of a deal of Utah musicians, using quality music to enhance the community. This gives kids the chance to hear different kinds of music, before they get steamrolled by the system. We do this once a month here [at Viridian] and once a week at the Gallivan Center," Jeff Whitely, managing director for the concert series, said.
The show was Tom Young Septet, a jazz band. It was the first time the band actually performed together, but that wasn't obvious because those in the band "gelled well" together as they played. Each member of the septet brought a diverse and impressive musical background, which added to the end product of the performance.
Tom Young, trumpet and vocals, was raised in New Canann, Conn., where he began studying classical trumpet at age 12. He was mentored by Harry Connick, Jr. and is a student at Snow College and member of bands, The Hot Club of Zion and No Limits.
Philip Kuehn, bass, started playing jazz at the age of 12. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in jazz studies from Juilliard School. He performed at the White House and Kennedy Center with the late Dr. Billy Taylor.
Steve Lyman, drums, studied at The New School in New York City in 2005. He studied with legendary drummers Ari Hoenig, Jim Black and Nasheet Waits.
Kurt Reeder, piano, began studying jazz at age 12. After earning a bachelor's degree at BYU in jazz studies, he went on to earn a master's degree in jazz performance from California State University. Currently, he is teaching at Pioneer High Performing Arts School and at UVU.
Rahsaan Pickett, guitar, played with his school jazz band and earned The Jazz House Kids' Scholarship. He is currently enrolled in Snow College.
Nelsen Campbell, trombone, played with the Eastman Youth Jazz Orchestra, Birch Creek Music Academy and attends Snow College.
David Halliday, saxophone, has a bachelor's degree in saxophone performance from BYU and a master's in jazz performance and composition from the U of U. He is a professor at the U of U, instructor at Westminster College and faculty member at SLCC.
This program included songs influenced, written or performed by Louis Armstrong and Amy Winehouse. Some of the selections included, "Blue Again" (Jimmy McHugh), "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" (Kalmar/Ruby/Hammerstein), "Sunny Side of the Street" (Jimmy McHugh), "The Gypsy" (Billy Reid), "La Vie En Rose" (Edith Piaf/Marguerite Monnot), "Freight Trane" (Tommy Flannagan), "Someone to Watch Over Me" (Gershwin), "Know You Now" (Amy Winehouse), "Save it Pretty Mama" (Don Redman/Denniker/Davis) and "What a Wonderful World" (Bob Thiele/George David Weiss), as well as a few original selections by Tom Young.
The program had a big band sound along with some classic jazz. Each member of the septet had his turn to showcase his talent with a solo at various times throughout the program. The concert was also attended by a group of swing dancers whom enjoyed dancing in a pre designated area, along with other audience members that was specifically lighted for the purpose.
Concert attendee, Donna Frey, comes often with George and Louse Frey.
"We come every second Saturday of the month. It is fabulous. They are all so wonderful and it is something to look forward to every month. These [concerts] are close by, local and the turn out is getting better and better," she said.
The director, Whitely, encourages the community to look for upcoming concert events to be held at the Viridian Events Center. Feb.13 - City Jazz Big Band, "Valentine's Dance;" March 12 - Cross Strung, "Saint Patrick's Celtic Celebration;" April 9 - Thurl Baily & Wasatch Jazz Project, "A Salute to Frank Sinatra;" and on May 14 - Utah Opera Resident Artist for "Once Upon a Time."

AcornRobotics: Hi Kingy & networkn,
thanks for your comments. We completely understand where you are coming from, building a ready to fly quad is probably out of our reach, but we are not really aiming for ready to fly as you are thinking about it. Our approach to design for this first product is not that anyone can pick it up and pilot it around without a care in the world, in fact it is not made to be piloted.
It is a small drone that stays where it is put in space and the user ADJUSTS its position to get the photo they want. Our focus is on keeping it still, not making it move. We believe that this can be achieved in our first product in the 200-300 price range.
We believe that by beginning with this most basic element we can gradually build more complex and powerful systems on top in later models until eventually we end up with a powerful, intuitive out of the box experience as you are thinking about it.
That does sound quite interesting :)
