I have never felt as wordless as when I was trying to articulate my experiences of sexual harassment on the streets of India. When these incidents took place, all I wanted to do was to perhaps take a lesson from them and then move on, forget about them. They made me feel emotionally weak, helpless, as if freedom was out of my grasp. I could imagine others saying, "So what? After all, she was never raped." But here's the thing, a violation is a violation. Any of those incidents could have turned into rape had I not made a scene or the man not changed his mind.
What they did to me?
They did make me lose a little faith in men.
And society.
But here I am. Healing myself.
Clouds above my head
Or shadows from the past
It's all a memory; it's all so vast
I sit here so choked
And you say I get emotional about patriarchy!
My friend and I were walking down the street from school that day. We were just 15 years old. As young girls transforming into women, the trauma of sudden bodily changes, strange new growths of hair and outbreaks of acne were enough for us to be conscious of ourselves. The teachers and the boys at school only added to our confusion, leaving questions unanswered at most instances.
"I have no list of to-dos. Nor will I say that the woman is a daughter, a sister, a mother. Just think of her as a human first."
That day, owing to the tiring day we had, we looked out for a cycle rickshaw. Just as we were about to board it, a man on a scooter with his helmet on came out from nowhere and punched me hard on my breasts. I shouted, kicking him hard on his face. He ran away. We were speechless. We didn't know what to make of what had happened or why it happened. From that day onwards, we always kept our bags close to our chests, hiding our budding bodies from the predators who lurked on the street as we walked home from school.
But how much of a shield could a schoolbag be? From around that time until today, most men talk to my breasts and not to me.
I look at myself in the mirror
A piece of art am I to all?
Or a human who lives emotions
Waiting for the invisible veil to fall?
And you say I am breaking the foundations.
In the chaos of Delhi and my life in a college, I started developing wings of fire. Wings that were giving me hope to fly. Coming back from the college I had often been instructed by my mother to be careful as the distance wasn't short and I sometimes had late classes. I didn't realise the value of her advice until a traumatic incident.
Five drunken men in a car came towards me as I walked down to the nearby bus stop. They blew kisses, made lewd remarks and tried to force me to get into the car with them. As I ran for my life, I felt real fear yet again. It wasn't a secluded street. This time it was in broad daylight on a busy main road.
It wasn't the last time. I often saw men masturbating in the metro looking at us group of girls, men in cars stopping next to us on the pretext of asking for directions while they fondled themselves, men following me as I ran for safety. From that first day onwards, I never went too near a car driving by me. Ten years down the line, I still feel the jitters when I find a car approaching me.
They look around with dirty eyes,
Waiting for them to catch her
I don't hate men, I say yet again
But the faith seems to die
As I see another woman tortured by, a man
And you say, I am too much of a feminist.
I sat down in a shared auto ride in Patna to reach my PG house where I was living during the course of a project I was working on. Clouds were gathering and the sky darkened. Suddenly I realised I was the only woman in the auto. But it was only when I was getting out that one of the co-passengers groped my chest. I shouted in shock and protest on the road even as the auto sped away. Nobody heard me. It was yet another incident to reinforce my pain towards myself, as a woman, I felt violated again.
As a girl, as a woman, the stories keep adding up, taking a toll on my mind as well as my body. Men are sensible human beings, if they consider women humans in first place. Women are sensible too, if they consider themselves human. What can I say? I have no list of to-dos. Nor will I say that the woman is a daughter, a sister, a mother. Just think of her as a human first.
The pain of one and every woman
Who looks around with eyes wide open
Every time
To save herself from any tiny trouble
To run away from those stripping eyes
To fight back those violating hands
Is she alone? Am I alone?
To that man in the metro who "relieved" himself by looking at me. To that guy in that car who showed me his penis on the pretext of asking for a route. To that office colleague who "spoke" to my breasts every single time we talked. To that man in that lane who chuckled and flashed himself at me as he urinated in the open.
These acts don't make you strong. You are weak. So weak. Because, you are scared of a woman's sexuality.

I really took vacation over the past couple of weeks and just really shut down to recharge. However, I did pursue one of my passions and that was digital photography. I worked in a couple of model shoots and of course that meant that I had some retouching to do. Right before the holidays the great folks at Wacom were kind enough to ship me a New Cintiq 12WX to play with and demonstrate at my upcoming Macworld Expo sessions. I was already a big fan of the Wacom Cintiq 21UX and the Intuos line of tablets. However, as much as I love the 21UX, I just don't find myself at my desk as much as I'd like to be. I'm on my MacBook Pro in different rooms depending on my mood. So until now I would mostly use my Intuos 4×6 which is also a great size to travel with. However, that all changed for me on Friday. I fell in love with the new Cintiq 12WX. It's just the right size and the built-in LCD is gorgeous! The best way to describe it is to take a Intuos 6×11 and replace the tablet area with an LCD display that is also a pressure senstive tablet and you have the Cintiq 12WX.
I spent all day (and I mean ALL DAY) with it Friday retouching photos in Adobe Photoshop CS3. I had the Cintiq connected to my MacBook Pro via DVI and USB (for the tablet functions). I used it as my main display and the display on my MacBook Pro as the secondary display (yes it also supports mirroring). I kept Adobe Photoshop Lightroom open on the MacBook Pro display and Adobe Photoshop CS3 open on the Cintiq. Although it comes with an easel type stand, I found it most comfortable to just hold it in my left arm while I used the pen in my right hand. There were times also where I just laid it flat on the table and worked.
As with all the latest professional tablets from Wacom, I found the touch strips and side buttons to be indispensable. I configured the left touch strip to change brush size and the right one for zooming in and out. I configured the left buttons to the Brush Tool, Healing Brush, Clone Stamp, Space bar (for quick panning) and Undo. I configured the pen rocker switch for Option-Click. This setup meant that I rarely had to touch the keyboard and NEVER had to touch the trackpad.
The Cintiq performed FLAWELESSLY throughout the day. It did get a little warm, but nothing alarming and no where near hot. My only minor criticism (c'mon you know me. There would have to be at least one, otherwise you wouldn't think I was doing an honest review) is that the breakout box seems a little cluttered. I don't necessarily have a better design in mind and I do appreciate the fact that there is only one cable attached to the display itself, but when I looked at the box laying on my table it looked like an octopus. The breakout box is where you connect power, the display, the DVI/VGA cable and the USB cable. These are all necessary, so like I said, I don't know of a better way to do it. OK, I lied there is one other small thing. I would like to see a way to connect this to a projector at the same time. I have to call the folks at Wacom and see if there is a way to be connected to the Cintiq AND a projector at the same time. Otherwise, I won't have any way of demoing it to the masses. The breakout box connects to the video out on your Mac or PC, but doesn't provide a pass-through or video out to go out to a another display or projector. Other than those two minor things (and the second one really won't affect most), this new Cintiq is PERFECT!
The Bottom Line
If you need (OK, want) an integrated display and tablet, there simply isn't a better choice! I love the Intuos line and the bigger Cintiq, but this new Cintiq 12WX hits the sweet spot on portability AND price. Amazon has it for $985.70 (list is $999). I couldn't imaging retouching another image without it!

I'm a musician, so I tend to associate everything with music. Today, our world begins its turn toward the light, and we begin to spiral back out from our inner journeys. Here are songs that inspire feelings of light and renewal within me. Maybe you'll like some of them, too 🙂
First, MC Yogi's 'Sun Light'.
Matisyahu's 'Live Like a Warrior'. Which has somehow become my personal theme song over the past 6 months or so.
Florence + The Machine's 'Shake It Out.'
An oldie but a goodie–Baz Luhrmann's 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)'
And, because it always makes me smile: FREE HUGS.
Lastly, because dancing it out is the BEST way to shake off the dark of winter, Where the Hell is Matt?
A very Blessed Yule to you!! May the returning light bring joy, love and happiness to us all!

Smaller On The Inside: Steven Moffat And The Incredible Shrinking Whoniverse
I'm pitching a script idea for Doctor Who. This mind-bending tale will be the first full episode starring Peter Capaldi's newly minted 12th Doctor. Episode One has him kidnapping Doctor Who's head writer/show runner Steven Moffat from the BBC, and bringing him back to ancient Greece, where the two men meet Aristotle. There, the great philosopher and author of Poetics teaches Steven Moffat how to construct a plot.
Stay with me now, because it doesn't stop there: get ready for the paradoxical, timey wimey twist. Unfortunately, the trip to antiquity leaves Doctor Who's head writer un-persuaded. Apparently, Steven Moffat isn't impressed by the idea that a character's actions should be logical, and follow naturally from the actions that precede them. And so the Doctor – in a desperate bid to save his own creative master (and indeed, himself) – travels forward to the BBC studios of 2007. And that's where Steven Moffat meets a younger version of…himself. Forty-five seconds of light-hearted comic relief ensue as the two of them realize: "Whoa! This is really happening!" Then Moffat 07 shows Moffat 13 some of the best Doctor Who episodes ever written: "The Empty Child," "The Doctor Dances," "The Girl in the Fireplace," and of course "Blink." It's a poignant moment. After all, Moffat is (or was) the author of all of these wonderful stories. But before this episode swells to its paradoxical, sentimental climax, the Doctor forces both Moffats to do the same thing I had the misfortune of doing last night: watch the worst Doctor Who Christmas special ever made. "The Time of the Doctor." God bless us. Everyone.
"But wait!" you may reasonably interject. "The worst ever? How is that possible? Haven't we already seen the worst Doctor Who Christmas special? Wasn't that 'Voyage of the Damned'? Or was it 'Runaway Bride'? Or maybe it was that very special Doctor Who 'Christmas Carol.'" Ah Jesus, why pick favorites? Aren't all Doctor Who Christmas specials terrible?* Doesn't each inhabit its own special Whoniverse of never ending awfulness? Why not be generous? After all, it's the holiday season.
But no. No no no no no no no. This is different. And it's bad. Very bad. "The Time of the Doctor" is awful in ways that the others just can't match. See, it's not only that the show's content is exceptionally poor. No, what is so deeply troubling about this story – if you can even call this thing a story – is that it seems to be not an aberration, but a new standard, an ominous harbinger of the terrible stuff to come.
Many years ago, in the middle of viewing an unforgivably bad film, my date turned to me and said, "Some movies you forget after you see them. This is a movie that you forget while you're watching it." So it is with "The Time of the Doctor." I pity the professional TV critic whose job it is to write plot summaries scotch taped to opinion. It's telling that in this case, many reviewers didn't even bother with the plot. Tim Martin of The Telegraph simply threw up his hands, and tried instead to figure out what the hell the Doctor Who people were thinking:
…I imagine Steven Moffat and co frantically entering text into a huge and messy Word document marked "Later". Every time a narrative lapse gets handwaved away, every time an episode thunks to a halt with its story strands waggling, every time the Gordian plot-knot gets sonic-screwdrivered into submission for the 60-minute limit, the writers just tap the remnants into Later. What's the deal with the creepy brain-wiping creatures known as The Silence? Later. The name of the Doctor? Later. The Catholic Church as intergalactic paramilitaries? Later. The 13-regeneration limit hanging over the series since the Sixties? Yup, stick it in Later.
A writer's job is to tell a story. Once upon a time, Steven Moffat did this brilliantly. It's hard to imagine Aristotle finding fault with any of the aforementioned ground breaking Moffat episodes. Indeed, the world's first drama critic probably would have delighted in these dark and imaginative morality tales; Aristotle would have suspended disbelief.
But lowering the "threshold of acceptability" does not mean throwing it out altogether. Yet this is precisely what Moffat did when he crossed his own threshold from an occasional Doctor Who scriptwriter to the man in charge of the show. Moffat's deal with the devil appears to have been made on the installment plan: "The Eleventh Hour" – Matt Smith's first full episode as the 11th Doctor – is a beautiful piece of writing. But the seed of perdition had already been sewn: the so-called "Crack in the Universe," the first of Moffat's incomprehensible story arcs, eventually severed disbelief's suspension cords, and brought the whole thing crashing to the ground with an overhyped, sickening thud.
And then came the Murder of the Doctor. And the Impossible Girl. And the endless barrage of mind bending paradoxes that turned the rule of the Blue Box completely upside down. For all of its bells and whistles, a typical Doctor Who episode is now smaller on the inside than it is on the out.
Nowhere is this more depressingly clear than in "The Time of the Doctor." Moffat appears to have abandoned the bloated ambition of his overarching story lines – which on some level, you have to sort of admire for their Gen X brand of Dickensian hubris. In their place he's put a checklist. Weeping Angels? Check. Daleks? Check. Small spark of sexual tension with slender twenty-something companion that won't ever go anywhere? Check. Because Steven Moffat's not just the Doctor Who head writer and show runner. He's the driving force behind a multi-million dollar entertainment juggernaut. And the business of show business is business. You don't believe me? Check out the presents under my family Christmas tree: Doctor Who t-shirts. Doctor Who key chains. Doctor Who 50th anniversary encyclopedia retrospective 270 page book things. Doctor Who Christmas ornaments. Man, no wonder these guys are so big on Christmas specials; what better time to push all that profitable promotional merchandise? I guess taking charge of a business means you itemize, prioritize, and list, list, list – even when it comes to the sacred art of story making.
Don't get me wrong. I like BBC One as much as the next guy, and if I'm doing my part to keep them afloat, who am I to feel guilty? But the sun must eventually set on the Whovian Empire, and that day may come sooner than we think. Every show has its worst episode. But this one should – and could – have been better. Come on! Didn't Matt Smith deserve a better send off? And to the man's credit, he all but saved the sinking ship with his heartfelt, odd ball, son-of-Crispin-Glover antics that have made him so beloved of fans and newcomers alike. "Matt Smith – he is astonishing!" cried the 7th Doctor, Sylvester McCoy. "His face has so much experience in it, and his performance is just excellent in how you feel how ancient he is."** Too bad Moffat couldn't give Smith a better script when he said his bon voyage.
So goodbye Doctor Eleven. Hello Doctor Twelve. Is it just me, or is the midnight hour for this franchise beginning to feel a little bit ominous? Peter Capaldi has all the talent, humor, skill, and gravitas to make this Doctor work. Too bad that Moffat doesn't appear to share that confidence. Capaldi's first appearance felt…well, a little frenzied. A quick fix it to be discarded in that ever growing "Later" file. Perhaps Moffat has finally become lost in the Byzantine labyrinth he's been constructing since 2010.
The most telling line of dialogue in this special comes from Capaldi himself: "Just one question. Do you know how to fly this thing?" This is literally the Doctor referring to his TARDIS, but it might as well be Steven Moffat inquiring about the overall direction of the show. Jesus Christ, does anyone know how to fly this thing anymore? If not, we can only hope that the TARDIS crash lands in Greece, 335 BCE. There, while the Doctor repairs his time machine, Aristotle can repair Steven Moffat by teaching him what he used to know so well: how to write a good story. If and when that happens, perhaps Moffat can tend to that ever hemorrhaging and ever shrinking Whoniverse by finally closing up the crack.

Playing the Part
JUST THINKING: It is fun to temporarily assume a new identity or culture, like we do for our Cowboy Chowdown, and entering Medieval times like we are this week At VBS (Over the Moat). We dress the part, assume the vernacular, and step into character for a short time. Then we return to our true nature and character, feeling much more comfortable at home.
Jesus left His heavenly throne and all that made Him 'God," took on the form of a servant in humility, and for a brief time walked this earth as a human being. He dressed the part, assumed our vernacular, and made Himself nothing for a short time. In fact, while in character He laid down His life for you and me; and it was effective because the one characteristic He did not assume UNTIL HE HUNG ON THE CROSS was sin, and even then it was ours, not His. The spotless One became our sacrifice.
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS INDESCRIBIBLE GIFT.Explore posts in the same categories: Uncategorized

Aegis Enhanced Belt, Kryptek Pattern
I received my Enhanced Ranger belt and immediately upon opening the package there was an ouburst of happy expletives. After handling it for about an hour and getting it setup, I knew I had to have another one due to it being so awesome. This is the nicest and most exceptional belt I've ever laid eyes on let alone have owned. Nothing else compares to this belt. It's comfortable, made to the highest quality and standards and above all else, the belt I've been needing all this time. I feel like a gunslinging Batman. All of my range gear and EDC equipment stays secure and nothing sags and my pistol draw has gotten much more solid due to the stiffness of the belt and security of the provided Cobra Buckle. I wish I had bought one of these sooner. I've got an Ares belt and have no reason to look back. I'm set for life. Without a doubt I'll be ordering a few more to share with friends and family who appreciate well made American gear. Ares for life.

National Streaming Day is its own phenomena because it is when the streaming industry comes together to encourage streamers around the world to watch their favorite movies and celebrate the occasion. I have tips for celebrating National Streaming Day and I am sure most of your streamers and those thinking about joining in the streaming movement will align with my thoughts.
As an avid workout enthusiast, I make sure that I keep my tablets stocked with options, to binge watch series and movies that I normally would not have time to take in. Me time starts when the elliptical journey over random speeds and intensities begins. Working out is pleasurable and often I forget that I am actually doing my body good because binge watching feels down-right sinful.
While you might think it is an odd way to jam in what you normally are missing, streaming is an effective way to catch up on life, enjoy shows and films that you would normally have to wait to find. Lavishly live entertainment out loud, when you grab your tools of the trade from tablets to smartphones and gaming consoles and prepare yourself for tips for celebrating National Streaming Day.
Series & Classic Films
It used to be that if I missed a show in a series, I missed it. Sometimes I remembered to set record, but other times it was just a done deal. Other times, I have heard people talking about series and I would love to be able to join on into the conversation, but there was no way to back up in life and watch what they have seen, so I just passed on the conversation. When they talked about a character I was dying to know more.
Sometimes there are those classic films I just want to see, and while I may not want to buy them, or rent them, I would love to have a library available to me to indulge my pang for a classic movie an streaming is the perfect solution to capturing the moment to watch a classic film, whether before bed, during the day, or when I am exercising, it is a way for me to fill in the blanks of those amazing classic films I wanted to watch but never have without buying or renting!
My solution and a solution going forward for series that I have missed: National Streaming Day because it is the perfect day to pick a series and BINGE it and then continue on with the series as it grows in episodes and to be able to view classics that I would not normally have access to.
Streaming Uses Your Existing Devices
What some people don't understand is how easily streaming can be incorporated into your life. National Streaming Day should definitely call this out to your attention. Steaming uses your existing devices and you can watch your favorite shows anywhere.
Examples of devices used to stream: tablets, Kindles, computers, televisions, game consoles, etc., pretty much common devices most of us have in our homes.
Set Up Is A Breeze
It is so darn easy to stream, it is just the matter of subscribing and then your streaming bonanza begins. It is pretty standard, you create an account, get a password and begin.
Where Can I Start Streaming?
If you are still on the edge about streaming, here is a great place to really get your feet wet, because you can watch classics, series and movies. Feeln is the leading streaming service that brings you heartfelt stories of love and togetherness, anytime, anywhere. All movies are handpicked so you spend less time searching and more time with the stories you love.

Pricing for Feeln' is so much lower than most, as low as $1.99 per month and the freedom to watch your shows, movies and classics when YOU want!
Feeln' and 'The Eleventh
So as an avid streamer, I just had to see what all the discussion was around 'The Eleventh' and may it hit me hardest because the Mom of the series is dead and her name is DANA. Perhaps I just needed a movie that would let my emotions flow?
Whatever it was, mystery, hope, healing, levity, forgiveness or family bonding, Episodes One and Two of 'The Eleventh' definitely will let you feel life. It may even knock you at the knees and make you realize that letters from the grave should have been letters during life. Truly a sensational series to watch and I can not wait to watch more.
'The Eleventh' is a Feeln original drama series that focuses on a young girl's journey to getting to know her estranged grandmother in order to bring closure to the past and unite her family. There are many turns in the plot just within the first two episodes.
Perhaps I loved this line best "People are not good or bad .. they are complicated"
Among its cast are Academy-Award- and Emmy-winning actress Cloris Leachman, Emmy winner Ed Asner, Florence Henderson of "The Brady Bunch," and also stars Chris Atkins ("Blue Lagoon") and Tracy Nelson ("Down and Out in Beverly Hills").
Feeln is giving away three Roku Streaming Sticks in honor of #NationalStreamingDay. Are you ready to watch your favorite movies and celebrate the national day? Enter at the Feeln site.

Happy Father's Day to all of the men who step up to the most important job of all!
If you've got a Dad – hug him. If he's far away, call him and tell him you love him.
Life is complicated and sometimes forgiveness is the key?

Messenger Pigeons
OK, pigeons aren't technically an invention, but the idea of using them to deliver messages is a fully human innovation. Genghis Khan, the great Mongol conqueror, used pigeons as messengers in the 12th century, establishing pigeon relay posts across a vast empire that stretched from China to the Black Sea. Using the birds, he was able to transmit messages and instructions more effectively than if he relied on other communications methods.
Messenger pigeons saw action in other military operations, too. In 1937, Lt. Gen. Claire Lee Chennault retired from the U.S. Army Air Corps and flew to China to prepare Chinese bomber and fighter pilots for a Japanese invasion of the mainland. Chennault's Flying Tigers weren't the only birds that took to the air. He also brought hundreds of pigeons, which carried messages during the war effort. Successors of those pigeons still play an important role in the People's Liberation Army.
Now scientists at the University of California, Irvine, are relying on messenger pigeons to collect data about California smog. Each bird receives a tiny backpack containing gas sensors, a GPS and a cell phone to transmit data. Then the researchers carry the birds 20 miles (32 kilometers) out of town and release them. As the pigeons return home, they collect smog information, which is used to generate a pollution map.

Actor Roger Guenveur Smith ("Dope") and director Spike Lee's ("Chi-Raq") latest collaboration—a filmed version of Smith's one-man show, "Rodney King"—will come to Netflix next month.
Variety reported the streaming giant's acquisition of the production today (March 7). The special will use Lee's footage of Smith's August, 12 2016, performance at New York City's East River Park Amphitheater.
"Rodney King" was written and directed by Smith, who navigates the titular protagonist's life story via frequently improvised scenes. According to a 2014 The Washington Post review of one of Smith's performances, the play addresses King's infamous videotaped beating by four LAPD officers, their subsequent acquittal, the community outrage that manifest in the 1992 riots and King's reluctance to become a national figure.
Smith told Variety that he wrote the show after King's 2012 death from drowning, following years of substance abuse and employment trouble. "When he died, I was struck with how much I was moved, how much this tragic figure mattered to me," he says.
"Rodney King" premieres April 28, a day before the 25th anniversary of the LAPD officers' acquittal.
Smith and Lee previously worked together on many of the latter's films, including "Do the Right Thing," "Malcolm X" and "He Got Game." Lee adapted another of Smith's one-man shows, "A Huey P. Newton Story," into a Peabody Award-winning 2001 TV film.
Watch Smith perform an excerpt from "Rodney King" below.

Apple has introduced its most ambitious health service yet, an open-source app development platform called 'CareKit.' It's basically a way to help people keep track of their medical treatment, and to share information with doctors remotely.
The first CareKit app is for people with Parkinson's disease — it's a tool to help track changes to their health over time, and to communicate with their medical professionals.
If this all sounds familiar, that makes sense — CareKit shares similarities with ResearchKit, another open-source software framework Apple developed as a tool for medical researchers.
It's also quite similar to HealthKit, Apple's original health-related software framework.
Apple's Jeff Williams emphasised that users will be in control of where your data goes and who gets to see it, but didn't provide any details about whether it'll provide any additional security features to safeguard your health information. That's something to keep an eye on in the future.
For all of tonight's Apple keynote news, head over to our March event hub where we have rounded up everything that happened in one handy place.

Thousands of French workers march to defend pensions
Lisbeth Latham
Thousands of public sector workers mobilised against the Sarkozy governments push to reduce workers' access to pensions. On March 23, more than 180 protests across France as part of the unions' campaign against the assault on pensions. The protest has been seen as a reawakening of the movement against the Sarkozy government's neo-liberal austerity drive, a movement that had collapsed over the latter half of 2009.
The Sarkozy government has proposed to lift the retirement age above its present level of 60 and to increase the minimum number of years which workers work in order to receive a full pension from 40 to 41 years. The full pension is 50% of salary over the best 25 years, this figure is capped by the social security ceiling. Below this pension there is a guaranteed minimum old age pension, which is 678 Euros a month. The government argues that the changes are necessary in order to offset the impact of France's aging population. The push to increase the pension years was first made in 1985. The attempts to attack France's pensions have been slowed through successive waves of worker mobilisations, the most spectacular being the massive public sector strikes in 1995. In 1993 the minimum number of years of work required to qualify was increased from 25 to 40. In order to add impetus to the attack, Sarkozy has moved Eric Woerth from the Budget Ministry to the Labour Ministry, as Budget Minister Woerth pushed through the sacking 100, 000 public servants between 2007 and 2010.
In a statement issued on March 23, the New Anti-Capitalist Party highlighted the impact that the proposed changes on those sections of the workforce who already struggle to achieve full pensions. Women in particular are expected to find it difficult to achieve a full pension due to the socially assigned role of women as carers. At present three quarters of retired women receive the minimum pension which is 40% of the average male pension. Opponents have also argued that in the context of rising unemployment, with 5 million unemployed, an increase in the pension age is criminal.
The mobilisations were supported by a coalition of five union confederations the General Confederation of Labour (CGT); French Democratic Confederation of Labour; United Union Federation; National Union of Autonomous Unions and the Trade Union Solidaires. The 2009 movement drew together eight confederations. The mobilisation size, unions estimate between 600-800 thousand, was also substantially down on the height of last year's movement, which at its height drew more than 3 million people into the streets. However the protest is substantially larger than the last inter-union mobilisation of last year. The decline of last year's movement has been seen as reflecting a contradiction between the widespread anger at Sarkozy's response to the financial crisis, even as the movement decline opinion polls showed a large majority of French people supported the movement, there was also growing disillusionment with polls also indicating that people did not believe the movement would be successful. The renewal of the movement is seen as reflecting anger at the Sarkozy government's determination to push on with their austerity measure despite being rejected at the regional elections. Bernard Thibault, CGT general secretary, told Reuter on March 23 "Ever since Sunday we have heard (the centre-right) say 'we are going to maintain course'. They aren't listening and that poses a real problem".
In response to the attack, the union confederations will meet March 30 plan further actions. The CGT is calling for further coordinated mobilisations in April and on May 1. The radical trade union Solidaires in a statement issued on March 23, called for an amplification of the mobilisations. The statement argued that for the movement to win will require dynamic mobilisations and that the mobilisations of 2009 (during which no national strikes were called in support of the mobilisations) imposes a responsibility on the unions to propose a united plan of worker mobilisations aimed at achieving an inter union general strike. This perspective would guide Solidaires' proposals at the inter-union meeting.

Last night wasn't quite so good for a while , because I found the lump and was somewhat concerned as to what it might be. After a while I tried gently squeezing it and it went away, which made me think that I had just burst something like a cyst - definitely not a good thing to do, but at least it probably wasn't anything worse. (By this morning the lump was back, bigger than before.)
But in the intervening worrying time between finding and squeezing I had googled 'lump on leg'. It led to an American forum full of questions from people worried about lumps on their leg that might be cancer. One comment struck me in particular and made me feel glad for the NHS:
Lumps in thighs and hipps
Hi, I have good news and bad news. Starting with the bad news; there are many very dangerous even life threatening. I also understand why you guys are reluctant to go to the doctor. It can be very relative but it can be inexpensive, or absolutely and totally cataclysmic for your finances. In addition dot ors these days never touch your body in any way unless they have to. That being said; you will get an inconclusive x-ray for 3-600 dollars, you will then get a ct cor cat scan to "get a better look at what's going on in there." this will cost 2500$-6000$ . After which if the still think you have some money or patience, they will give you an MRI to get the clearest view possible. Still playing time for the biopsy. Mind you all of these tests have at least a month in-between. And you or you insurance have gotten the bill up to 25000$ now an nobodies laid a hand on you.
Of course, this person's spelling wasn't that great, maybe his cost estimates weren't that great either, but it made me think - again - about the health bill.
With more and more being said against it, the Royal College of GPs coming out against it
and even ConservativeHome saying 'kill the bill' it's time to say enough is enough.
I don't recall the Lib Dems proposing these changes before the last general election. I don't recall the Conservatives doing so either. I believe the Lib Dem leadership should gently say to our coalition partners , "Sorry, this ain't going to happen..." - as soon as possible.

The is a book called "The First 20 Minutes" by Gretchen Reynolds who explains the first 20 minutes of exercise is valuable.

Only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind.
"Mens sana in corpore sano"
- A sound mind in a healthy body
"Humans ... are born to stroll."
- Gretchen Reynolds - Book - The First 20 Minutes
"Walk Slow"
- Wade Shepard - Writer - VagabondJourney.com
I have not read this book, and I am not going to buy it, but it may have merit. I just read this interview of Gretchen Reynolds.
The first 20 minutes of the day is an essential time period for brain health.
This section of HoboTraveler is to collect information about Brain Health. With the goal is to optimize the foods, vitamins, exercises, and lifestyle whereby the brain can thrive.
"The First 20 Minutes" book appears to agree with an article I wrote.
Note, I added a video to the article explaining a new exercise I perform in my Hotel room daily to exercise the brain muscle, it take less than 2 minutes.
This is the article I wrote:

Slowly, tentatively, life returned to the streets of Haiti. Frightened citizens climbed out from beneath their beds. Uneasy merchants reopened their shops for limited hours. From hiding, election officials fired off defiant messages. But the activity could not disguise the deep psychic toll taken by the election-day violence that left at least 50 people dead and dozens wounded last week. In Port-au-Prince, the capital, hundreds of Haitians packed their meager belongings and fled to the countryside. At the Basilica Notre Dame, the usual crowd of devout worshipers was missing. Instead, a few beggars haunted the steps. It was as if Haitians...

I secretly had my eye on this lovely chair for some time, okay maybe not so secretly! It was in a spare/laundry room in my in-laws house, almost submerged by clothes.
After a good word from my husband, the lovely chair is now ours!!
It belonged to my husband's Great Aunt Rose who is no longer with us. She gave it to my mother and father-in-law when they got married and moved into their first home. They were happy to pass it on once it stayed in the family and now it has pride of place in our dining room where everyone can appreciate it. It's in a perfect spot, at the french doors leading out into the garden, a great bird watching spot with a cup of tea in the mornings!
I couldn't bare to re-paint it, I think the chips and layers of paint tell it's story. I washed it down, found the perfect seat cushion in Ikea and the other little beauties were made from leftover fabric used to make the roman blinds in the same room.
I really wanted to add some sort of 'rose' embellishment in honour of Great Aunt Rose. Then, I remembered I once purchased this corsage for 50c and I think it looks perfect;
a rose for Rose...

My journey to Foundation Workshop took a few years in the making. This is, after all, THE workshop for wedding photographers who want to take their skills to the next level. It is also known to be the toughest, most challenging photojournalist workshop. A lot of the students were already rock stars in my mind, and the staff list reads like a Who's Who of the photographic world. Yet my desire to be a better storyteller finally won over the fear of embarrassing myself, and with the support from Mark, I eagerly and nervously head out to Glen Rose, Texas.
And OMG what an experience it was! One week later, as I sit and try to reflect on it, I still can't believe it's all over! It still feels a bit surreal.
Since I have been following the workshop for years, I thought I knew what to expect when it came down to the assignments. I would probably be documenting a small business or a family, following them around and attempting to tell their story. First lesson I learned was there are no expectations. Our team's assignment was the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the busiest places in Texas this time of the year. I am not sure how assignments were decided, but somehow it was brilliantly designed to push me out of my comfort zone. I was already thrown off before it started. And so it begins…
I approached the assignment like how I do weddings – reviewed my written notes, checked off the gear preparation list, reviewed the event schedule and tried to form a plan. Arriving at the stock show, I immediately did a tour and started shooting different things. Then I was bored with my photos and decided to start shooting what my heart was gravitating towards – bonding moments between the cows and their owners. After lunch Sergio and David came and told me that my official assignment is the carnival. I was rattled again. The carnival was even more overwhelming because so many things were going on. On a typical wedding day, my focus would be on my couple and telling their love story. However, at the carnival with so many things happening and so many people moving along, I did not know where to focus. Once again I was back to scouting the area and looking for ideas, and occasionally getting what I felt like were evil looks from people when I got too close. I tried a few ideas and quickly moved onto the next one because I was so worried that I won't even get one good photo. It was brutal. I was exhausted and frustrated as I met up with my teammates for the ride back to the hotel. I was surprised to find everyone equally frustrated. As we vent out our frustrations, laugh at our miseries and listen to awesome Dutch music, the ride became a great therapeutic bonding experience that prepped me with the strength to face the upcoming critique. We were in this together. By the time we got back, we were all ready to get grilled with a smile.
The critique session was extremely helpful. Of course I felt frustrated and embarrassed too, but this is the necessary road to improvement. Leave your ego at the door – check! After all, Tyler said, we were here for critiques not high fives. I need to continue to work on cleaner compositions, mastering highlights and working the moment. I need to stop "pulling a Tammy." Very good to know.
Day 2 shooting started with a clear mind and strong desire to follow all the feedback I received. I pulled out notes to watch out for, and I actually felt I was shooting better. As the day went by, I was so serious about applying what I learned and trying to make that great picture, I forgot to have fun. I was getting more frustrated without even realizing it. I didn't take breaks and it was taking a toll on me. Then my teachers came to the rescue. The later part of my day was much more enjoyable. I had fun chasing the light, finding moments and learning how to make unique and meaningful photos. I was able to enjoy it once I realized it is not about the final slideshow, but the mindset and process of getting there.
What I learned was something I wasn't even really aware of. I had set up mental barriers that hindered my shooting. Like how I worry about getting in other people's way. Or how I am being too serious and I would actually do better when if I can also enjoy myself. But most of all, learning how I don't verbally express myself enough was the toughest one to swallow. I can be talkative and I did not think I had problems connecting with others. Somehow Sergio was able to cut through my bullshit and detect it. It was Sergio, David and Gulnara's joint effort that helped me realize this issue. I was so touched by how genuinely caring and supportive they are. How when being asked "how do you feel today", I never got away with answering "I'm fine" without really reaching deep down and exploring how I felt. It's not just random chit chat, everyone really wants to know how I feel and how they can help. It was not just within our team, but this was consistent with everyone there at the workshop. We all openly discussed our experiences, learn to listen to others, and try to grow together.
On the last night, I was trembling inside as I waited for my slideshow. I saw the amazing work from my peers and worried that mine would be too plain. And then Gulnara hugged me as my slideshow was being played. I heard loud cheers from all around me and felt so proud. I really did it! We all did it! At the end of the night, Kelly said "welcome to the family" and it really hit me hard. During the welcome dinner on the first night, I saw a room filled with top photographers. During our last night, I saw a room filled with friends. It is so humbling to realize how everyone is really there for you – to teach, inspire, guide, and give out tons of hugs. Seriously, I've never been hugged by so many people! There is really no ego here, just a lot of love. And then it hit me, they are amazing photographers not just because they have mad skills, but it is this love that gives them the ability to connect, have empathy and tell a story. That last night, I felt so much inside that I just had to go hug it out as well. I guess when you are able to open up, to show emotions, to care and exchange endless hugs to the people you literally just met a few days ago, you truly have become family. Thank you my foundation family. Without you I wouldn't have been able to do this.
Now I know. Now I understand. When you are able to open up and not be afraid to express yourself, amazing things happen. When you don't have the mental barriers, you are able to focus on telling the story. This is something that I will continue to work on, so I can connect better and be a better storyteller. I am so excited to return to shooting with this knowledge and experience. I went to Texas to be a better photographer, and came back with so much more.
PS: Sharing with you two images I took & a picture of me working it by JVS and Derrick. Also including our awesome Team Sergio photo by JVS – Sergio, David, Gulnara, Evert, Axel and Ralf – miss you so much!

Issues of Vogue China are flying off newsstands this month thanks to a Gucci freebie packaged along with the magazine, according to Jing Daily.
The fashion magazine is popular in China in its own right, but this month's issue came with a free Gucci-branded paper folder that has people in a tizzy.
The brown folders are already selling for four times the price of the magazine (around $3) on Chinese versions of eBay, Jing Daily reports.
And newsstands around the country have been wiped clean, although some enterprising sellers in Beijing have jacked up the price of the issue.
Not everyone's happy with the uproar. Jing Daily reports:
While this is great news for Vogue China, the frenzy for this cheap paper folder has provoked some of China's most high-profile commentators to weigh in on the issue.
On Sina Weibo this week, the popular and influential iLook publisher and Chinese media figure, Hong Huang tweeted, "Vogue's promotion is quite strategic. But it's a bit silly on the part of Gucci. To give it away in a 20 yuan magazine."
iFeng also notes widespread disdain for the promotion among other "industry professionals" along the same lines of what Hong said, but adds that the dustup just seems to be fueling the frenzy even further.

Database Encryption
Unbound Key Control (UKC) lets you protect, manage and control database encryption keys across your hybrid environment from a single pane of glass.
Is Managing and Controlling the Keys Your Biggest Challenge in Database Encryption?
Encryption key management is frequently one of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to database encryption. Good key management is essential, since access to encrypted data ultimately comes down to access to the key.
Unfortunately, efficiently managing crypto keys for encrypted databases isn't so simple:
Protecting AND managing keys typically requires two products: an HSM and a key manager
Hybrid cloud means several key management systems co-exist, causing fragmentation, security and sync issues
Highly Secure, Software-Defined Database Encryption Key Management
Unbound Database Encryption (based on UKC) is a software-only product that keeps the database encryption keys secured at all times by ensuring encryption keys are never in the clear. It includes all key management capabilities required throughout the key lifecycle, and includes a KMIP server that allows it to integrate with any existing key manager and is the only solution that allows full control of encryption keys in the cloud (CYOK). Now you can encrypt databases on any cloud, and ensure you're the only one controlling your encryption keys. Unbound fully supports the requirements of hybrid environments by allowing highly secured and centrally controlled key management across all sites and platforms.
TDE Integration is available for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2 on all platforms and CSPs. UKC also transparently integrates with MSSQL Always Encrypted, allowing you to securely protect and manage master keys to the entire database or just certain columns.
All in One
Manage and protect your DB encryption keys in the same product – no integrations required, no vendor lock-in
Allows full control of encryption keys in the cloud (CYOK)
Hybrid Cloud Compatible
Centralized key management and control across distributed environments, including different CSPs and on-premise sites
Transparent Integration
Seamless integration with all popular DBs – protect keys at the DB or column level with a quick configuration update
Here's how it works:
1. The application server creates a query to the database
2. The database server uses a master decryption key that is strongly protected by Unbound Key Control
See it in Action
Learn how you can manage, control and protect your database encryption keys across your entire network.
