text: Calida is a girl's name of Greek and Spanish origin. Its meaning, "most beautiful; heated, with warmth," perfectly matches my new lace cocoon cardigan. This stylish open cardigan is the epitome of elegance in a knitwear item! Gorgeous alpaca/silk yarn is knit in a lace stitch pattern with just enough openness to keep it light and airy, but not so much that the cardigan loses its structure. The silk content of the yarn allows this piece to glide over your shoulders and drape beautifully over tank tops, maxi dresses, long-sleeve blouses, and so much more. Its simple structure makes it an easy project to create (it's been my portable project for the last few weeks) and also the perfect item to fold flat to pack for your next weekend trip or summer escape. The open front, cocoon silhouette is just what you'll reach for whenever there's the slightest hint of a chill.

Audi and FIS continue strong alliance in the future
- Car manufacturer partner of International Ski Federation to 2018
- Naming of Audi FIS Ski World Cup enters next decade
- Winter sport is perfect stage for Audi and quattro drive
Audi also stands shoulder to shoulder with athletes of international skiing in the future: the Ingolstadt based automobile manufacturer has agreed to a cooperation with Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) up to 2018. As a consequence the Audi FIS Ski World Cup will again be staged under the Audi flag over the forthcoming years.
Audi has been active in winter sport for almost three decades. The partnership with FIS has already existed for ten years: the Ski World Cup celebrated its premiere in the sign of the four rings in the 2002/2003 season. A perfect combination: with quattro drive, which can display its superiority especially on wintery terrain, winter sport is of great importance for Audi. The presentation of brand and technology in the FIS World Cup made Audi and quattro the number one choice among winter sport athletes. This successful cooperation is now continued within the framework of a long-term agreement over the forthcoming six years.
"Winter sport provides us with a perfect stage," says Peter Schwarzenbauer, Board Member for Marketing and Sales of AUDI AG: "Winter, snow and ice – Audi feels very at home in this world. We look forward to exciting competitions and want to inspire even more people for the wide variety of disciplines."
Gian Franco Kasper, President of FIS, emphasizes: "The partnership between Audi and FIS celebrates a major milestone. From the very first day, we have enjoyed a working relationship based on trust and a great spirit of innovation. I'm delighted that we will now continue this cooperation in the same manner."
The 2011/2012 Audi FIS Ski World Cup season has been running since October and enjoys one of its highlights at the weekend with the races in Kitzbühel. AUDI AG has also been title sponsor of the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup since October 2011.

SOMEWHERE IN THE MUD—The B-17 looked like an angry bear attacked by dogs. Four Me 109s streaked at her, cannon blasting. Then from the tail of the big Fort twin flames leaped and one Me broke into pieces. Right and left waist caliber 50s chattered. Another 109 became a bright flame in the sky. The other two bellied up and fled.
It was the usual thing.
Readers would pick up their daily newspaper and murmur: "Another Flying Fort story. The way they write about those planes you'd think their gunners were wonder men."
They are.
It all happens in a muddy airfield somewhere in England. In a small group of buildings called Instructional Site Headquarters there is a natty little man called Lt. Colonel John P. Dwyer from Clarion, Pennsylvania, director of training of the most efficient air gunnery school in this country.
But before you have the pleasure of attending the school of Colonel Dwyer in the muddy airfield somewhere in England, you must go to another army base some fifteen miles away and sit yourself down in a small chamber.
It's called the pressure chamber and is owned and operated by the Royal Air Force. Seating capacity is six men—three on each side. It is attached to the rear of a truck and is mobile. The operator is a flight surgeon and as he turns the pressure up simulating different altitudes, he keeps contact with the men taking the test by microphone. Before entering the chamber oxygen masks are adjusted. If you don't blow up like a sausage, you can take high altitude.
Great stuff this high altitude, but that comes later—much later. You're just starting.
Now you're at the gunnery school. Air gunnery school, the place where you learn how to sieve Jerry.
Indian dark, Sergeant Joe V. Jeager takes over at your first class. Five rough wooden tables are spaced in a big room. On each is a caliber .50 machine gun and an enlisted instructor. We drew a Sergeant John E. Reahder.
Sergeant Jeager talked in a deep, well-modulated voice and illustrated all points on the blackboard immediately before him.
Captain John W. Johnson from Lynn, Mass., and Lieutenant John I. Good, collective chiefs of the gunnery classes roved among the green johns at the tables.
Slowly the gun was stripped by the instructor. And Jeager drew pictures on his blackboard. And we got damned confused and began to build up a deep respect for air gunners.
The class seemed to last for hours. We got grease on everything but our shoelaces.
Names and strange-sounding words bothered us. Like oil buffer and bolt assembly and first, second and third position stoppages. We looked and we listened.
Then we took the gun apart and put it together. Wrong.
Jeager stood at his blackboard and spelled out the important parts of the gun. We learned how to screw the barrel extension off the barrel. Knew the breech block and the breech block pin. We never realized how dumb we were—about guns.
Then we went and listened to a captain talk about first aid.
We left his lecture wondering on which part of the barrel extension we applied the tourniquet.
That was the first day.
At eight-thirty the following morning we were hard at it again. A very, very interesting RAF flight sergeant named Benny Hall gave us a Yorkshire accented lesson on aircraft recognition. There are so many differences in planes that it all made us wonder how come we hadn't been fighting an air war ourselves. German ships, the Me 109E, the 109F, the 110, the FW 190, Me 210, and British Spits, Hurricanes, Typhoons, Beaufighters, American Mitchells, P 38s, Flying Fortresses—we had to learn what their differences were.
A mere nothing. At 1,000 yards, the distance the air gunner commences fire, any ship is more or less a vague shape and it takes an alert man, a man well-schooled in aircraft recognition, to recognize if it's an allied or enemy aircraft.
Benny Hall talked in a loud voice and interspersed his lecture with dry, humorous accounts of his own combat days. His missions number well over fifty.
After Benny had finished we went over to the ready room and togged ourselves in flying clothes. We were going to take our high altitude flight. The first-aid lecture had given us the information about oxygen masks, and about chewing gum and yawning if the sudden change in pressure affected our ears.
We drew a B-17 named Johnny Reb, piloted by Captain Ward. Staff Sergeant Knapp Vallas was the radio operator and we sat across from him.
The flight lasted two hours and we went up 25,000 feet. Flight engineer Neadner Fiedler wandered around the plane with the walk around bottle checking on our masks and giving us the altitude as we ascended. He didn't have a flying jacket on but it didn't seem to bother him. Ice formed on his eyebrows. He is one tough G.I.
We came down and I couldn't hear anything but whispers for six hours.
For a little relaxation we went back to Jeager and field stripping the caliber .50. It was great fun.
This time we had to tear the gun down and reassemble it on our own, naming the important parts as we went along. Eagle-eyed enlisted men watched us, and jumped the minute we made an error.
They jumped a lot.
We knocked off after a few hours and had a little lunch.
Then we went back to Benny Hall and aircraft recognition. By this time we could tell what a B-17 looked like at 1,000 yards and we felt pretty proud of ourselves. Benny didn't.
An hour of this and we never wanted to see another plane. But when we did get outside and heard the roar of a plane overhead, all eyes immediately searched it out and tried to identify it. We were learning.
That was the second day.
The redoubtable Sergeant Jeager gave us another blackboard lecture, this time on sighting. He told us to pay particular attention to this lecture because it was very important. Sighting. Aiming at Jerry so you could hit him. It did seem rather important.
We learned the five forces affecting a projectile, meaning of harmonization, reasons the gunner leads his target and how to draw a pretty diagram of similar triangles complete with labels.
After a few hours of this we were given a ten minute break and then Jeager broke the gentle news that we were going to have a written examination.
We did. Then we had a little lunch and went out to the pistol range. Out there we first fired a twelve gauge shotgun at skeet in order to give us a practical demonstration on leading a target. Skeet wasn't in season for us.
With the help of Sergeant Harvey Banks we did a little better on the caliber .50—never call it a .50 caliber, it ain't done in the better circles.
Corporal Fred Collins from Manchester, Conn., gave us more practical instruction and we were going all right until the gun jammed. We had to stay at the gun until we discovered what caused the jam. There were four guns and we fired all of them. And all of them jammed. And we had to find out what causes that.
A Hollywood major's gun blew up. Nobody was hurt. And it was a good lesson on what can go wrong when you least expect it. But the major's five men rallied around him and everything turned out all right.
That was the third day.
It was cold the next morning and firing the .45 automatic pistol on the range wasn't a lot of fun. Your hand shook with the cold and you didn't do too well hitting the target. But you learned more about sighting. After the .45 pistol you cradled a Thompson sub-machine gun in your arms and leaned forward and fired it. You were getting good. Shot-guns, caliber .50, .45 pistols and Tommy guns.
When you got back to the school all your confidence drained out. Benny Hall was giving an aircraft recognition test. It was a honey.
Then Captain Johnson gave the caliber .50 test.
That was the fourth day.
This was the last day at Colonel Dwyer's school. We had taken a week's course in five days and we were plenty worried about our marks on the tests taken the day before. The instruction had been good, far above average. We just wondered if we were.
We had a lecture on ditching. Leaving a crippled plane over water. We were told to get rid of all the clothing we could and still keep all we could. A young second lieutenant gave us sage advice on bracing yourself in the radio compartment, learning what to take on the life raft with you, where in the radio compartment the release handles for the raft were, the first-aid packet and rations to always heave on the raft; about switching the emergency radio switch on number three so that automatically an SOS would be sent.
Then we made an inspection of planes and the lieutenant pointed out the things he had been talking about.
The five days were nearly over.
Slowly we walked back to Instructional Site Headquarters to see one Sergeant Spitzfadden. He marked the test papers.
We saw this Sergeant Spitzfadden and found out that we passed all the tests all right.
But we still had plenty of respect for air gunners.
And for Colonel Dwyer's school.

Southampton Success in Budapest!
Eleven of our gymnasts made history this weekend competing in the inaugural Budapest International Acro Cup. After strong performances in the qualifiers on Saturday, all five of our partnerships made it through to finals day on Sunday.
Sunday arrived and the Youth category was up first, we had three partnerships competing in this category Hannah Winter and Jasmine Banks, Finley Doubleday and Grace Crowley, and Lowri Hegan, Amy Farbrother and Poppy Chance. Each partnership in this category performs a combined routine which contains a mix of balance and dynamic elements.
Women's Group Lowri, Amy and Poppy performed a cleanly executed routine with an even greater level of confidence in the dance than they had shown when they had finished in the top spot in the qualifiers. They were rewarded with FIRST PLACE, truly deserved given the high level of effort they demonstrate consistently in training.
Immediately following the trio, Women's Pair Hannah and Jasmine took to the floor. The girls had qualified in first place thanks to a very high standard of execution in their first routine. Showing great consistency despite the pressure of expectation, the girls performed even better, securing a thoroughly deserved FIRST PLACE in the Women's Pairs.
Next to compete for Southampton in the Mixed Pairs category were Finley and Grace. This partnership have always shown a high level of artistry in competition and this performance was no exception, they matched their high level of elegance with clean technical skills and achieved the GOLD medal, despite strong competition from Russia.
None of the Southampton gymnasts in the Youth category had ever competed in an International before which makes their achievements all the more impressive.
The next event was the 11-16 competition. In this event, a balance routine and a dynamic routine are performed in the qualifiers, and a single balance routine is performed in the final. Southampton had one partnership competing in this category, Mixed Pair Sam Yarnall and Lucy Hodgson. Sam and Lucy performed with great poise and a high quality of execution, winning them a SILVER medal, just pipped for the gold by the Mixed Pair from Kaliningrad, Russia. The quality shown in both their balance and dynamic work demonstrates strong potential for this young pair.
Our 13-19 Women's Pair Stephanie Ricketts and Toula Raftopoulou have been selected for the British Team that is competing at the European Championships in Poland later this month. The Budapest International Acro Cup was a great performance opportunity in preparation for this event. Over the two days of competition the girls performed three routines, balance, dynamic and, in the finals, combined. Three impressive routines were rewarded with three execution scores in the 9's; with their combined routine gaining the highest score of the whole competition, thoroughly deserving GOLD!
Thanks to the coaching team that gave up their time to support the gymnasts at the competition and to the wider team that worked so hard to prepare the gymnasts for the event. It was great to have local support at the competition from the parents and thanks must go to everyone who participated in fund-raising activities.
What a fantastic weekend for Southampton Gymnastics Club!

How to allocate your resources properly in an Alternative Fee Arrangement
There has been a prominent rise in the use of Alternative Fee Arrangements. Law firms are increasingly looking to give themselves a competitive edge over the competition by putting the client's perception of value at the top of their list. However, the benefits of AFAs are not solely financial, there are other invaluable pros to this pricing method. The firm's legal spend becomes more predictable and savings are made on costs without compromising the quality of the work. But how do you allocate your firm's resources properly within an AFA? We will discuss this further in the coming paragraphs.
The value of historical data
Ideally when working with AFAs historical data should be available and easily searchable. This means you can find and analyse similar cases from the past, which in turn enables you to allocate your resources more effectively and set an accurate price for the matter.
But what if you don't have historical data available? Your timesheet could hold the key. In essence, tracking your time during a matter handled under an AFA will help you and your colleagues in future cases – because you will know exactly which tasks took up the most time. This means you can streamline the whole process and make future cases more profitable for your firm.
Time Tracking in AFAs
How can firms know if they're making or losing money if they're not tracking their activities? Measuring the effectiveness of an AFA requires the analysis of many pieces of data. Law firms that use historical data relating to all activities carried out can then allocate their resources much more wisely in the next case. Therefore it is crucial that you have insight into the time spent and control over your legal billing data. On top of that, all of this information needs to be searchable and ready to be made into a report.
Allocate your resources
Fixed price projects begin with planning a budget upfront and then managing the work to keep within that budget as the project proceeds. When a law firm is billing by the hour, it can be easier to maximize billing and with that profitability. If an employee has nothing to do on one project, you can assign them tasks on a new matter and keep them billing.
It can be difficult to manage the projects and the deadlines that come with them when a firm has many fixed price projects on the go. This could lead to the contradictory situation where lawyers are encouraged to be efficient on fixed fee projects, but inefficient on matters that are billed by the hour.
Does the AFA spell the end of the billable hour? Lawyers have long been rewarded for putting in extra hours and making sure a matter is covered from every angle. Many may have a hard time adapting to delivering the quality needed whilst working within strict limits. Traditionally, most firms expect lawyers to bill a certain amount of hours per year. If firms do a lot of their work on a fixed price basis, many will find that goal unreachable.
Ultimately, we expect AFAs in all forms to continue to rise, and that means gathering historical data will become ever more important in order to make matters more efficient and therefore more profitable. Tracking time is a great way to gain insight into all the tasks and activities that are carried out within a case on a fixed fee basis. Having said that, we don't expect the billable hour to disappear entirely just yet.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Cleveland woman and her daughter who were watching the World Series outside Progressive Field last night found something they think might be sorely missed by an Indians fan out there.
Joelle Hanna says she was watching the game with her daughter, Julia, on the jumbotrons set up in Gateway Plaza Wednesday.
She said as they were walking by Gate A, they saw a photo laying on the ground in the rain. They stopped to pick it up.
It shows a man holding a little boy. Both are wearing Indians hats, and the little boy is holding a basketball.
"I know it probably means so much to someone, and they are probably so upset they lost it," said Hanna.
Hanna has posted information and the photo on social media in hopes of finding the person who lost the photo.

I have been thinking a lot about the side effects of being stuck in bed, in the house, and limited activity outside. This is not new, though it is more acute with the recent surgery and my body being slow to get over it. My nature is to push and rush, and I am trying a new route. Not forcing myself to deal with extra pain by rushing my body. Yet I am not depressed, which is something that surprises me when it creeps into my subconscious. I am happy. So what has lead to this?
First and foremost proper pain management. I see a lot of depression tied in with hurting. I still have days, like today, when I cannot move because the agony in my body is so bad that not even morphine helps. Which is shitty. It has been raining and so I have been writhing. Pain management for me entails the way my bed is made, there is a lot of cushion before the pressure pad, which softens the mattress. There are pillows to support my joints. The bed adjusts and positions me so I can actually get comfortable. I sleep in this bed, not a few disjointed hours with four when I give up. Six hours with two interruptions. That sounds like terrible sleep to most people but it is the best sleep of my life. I was born in pain, so the relief i find now has changed a great deal of my experience.
Second is environment. I have access to a beautiful light show, this is recent but it is not my first attempt at environmental tuning. My crystal lotus with the LEDs that rotate color through projects an aurora borealis on my cieling. I adjusted how much light and how much of the room is filled by choosing where this sets. The lampshade catches eighty percent of the light so i can leave it going while I sleep. I sometimes turn off the lights, remove my glasses and just watch the colors. It is then when I let my mind run free into a story. Not always the one of my novel, sometimes it is just a land of color and beauty. Sometimes I am a butterfly transitioning from catepillar. SOmetimes I go on a journey through the Celtic Wheel like many legends of Arther have. I have been hunting for a non noisy home planetarium machine to buy, once I find the right one via research it will be something to save for. This combined with my aurora can create a new environment. The high end ones, which is what I will strive for, allow you to change what kind of star field and view you project. I have a plastic moon, which is not sufficient quality to recommend as this is my third and it too has broken, that rotates through the moon cycle. I can feel outside without going outside. This means setting up access to light controls via my remote plugs. I control my internet to reset my modem, my bedroom light, and a few other things which need on and off from my bed. I tried a few brands before finding one that held up to my abuse (dropping, oh so much dropping) with the Etekcity brand. A bit of velcro and it is stuck to my wall by my bed, where I can comfortably reach it and poke the switch.
Third is entertainment. I only have a tablet and a desktop. I am on bedrest. SO my carer and I put my monitor on a hospital bed table, set up the tablet beside that and the tower on the floor. This required moving my uninterrupted powersupply, ditching the monitor that was bigger and also dying anyway, no external hard drives, a wireless trackball and keyboard… annnd it works. It works well enough that I can watch movies, write, and function as I would at my desk. This cuts down on feeling trapped. I can watch DVDs, stream hulu, netflix or other services. I can run facebook. This is not flawless as my PC has no wifi built in, not an issue for the living room… the old wifi dongle I have is over ten yaers old and cuts out a lot. This also isn't as big a deal except for facebook anyway. I turn off the net to write, I mostly run hulu and netflix on my tablet. A laptop is more ideal but disability is often tied in to poverty so I must adapt with what I have.
Fourth is food. I eat in bed now, which is a terrible thing to imagine for most people. I have a pillow for some dishes, a tray for others and still use the hospital table as there IS enough room for a monitor, speakers, tablet and medications on thatthing and my bowls. My bowls andplates are hybrids of each other, creating the right surface. Using a bowl cuts on spillage in bed too. Sometimes there are accidents, but that is true everywhere.
I have built a modular world inside my home, where sensory friendly moments dominate the invasive terrible outside world's loud and painful ones. The lighting, the entertainment and even the music is tailored to keep me happy. The internet is of course a huge reason this works as is my perpetual creation with in my mindspace. I am dependant on my carer for this to work but it is still a matter of personal need.
I still have pain. I still must log it, track it, and treat it. I still have moments of frustration at my limitations. I want to shower but it is too dangerous for me to do so right now. Its been over a week of just sponge baths. I lament for it. I also know that it is better to wait. I am still clean, I just want to get a better type of clean. I still struggle to eat. I still must move to go to the restroom. Sometimes I still get sick and must stumble forth to find a place to vomit. There is no perfect setting or world but I can give myself beauty, enjoyment and I suspect most people can manage this too. I needed help to perfect what I wanted to do but this concept is not newly stumbled upon. For over ten years I have refused to live in an environment that hurts me. My system is always being tweaked as it is imperfect, but it gives me what I need to create and function.
This post is dedicated to people in pain, people with sorrow, people who have no idea what to do to make it better. It is dedicated to people learning how to heal. People like me. People like you. We must adapt to survive but not all adaptations are born out of logic. It isn't logical to realize changing your walls to stars and trees is helpful. If it was, this would be a built in feature of every home. I am simply sharing my own adaptations. I learn from others who do the same.

Major flooding due to concentrated rainfall | Monitoring system for emergency surveys and decisions to evacuate
- Purpose of installation
- 24 hour monitoring of water level, rainfall, soil flows, etc., at landslide dam
- Location or Client
- Kii Peninsula / Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
Status and Issues
As a result of concentrated heavy rain over about 5 days, the heaviest rainfall ever was recorded at the site.
It was found that flooding and landslides occurred over a wide area, and several rivers were blocked, so the company's emergency survey and evacuation decision monitoring system was introduced.
The site was a mountainous area with no electrical power supply, and was outside the mobile phone connection area. However by using the company's measuring instruments which are operable for a long period with commercially available lithium batteries and small size solar panels, it was possible to rapidly construct a disaster resistant monitoring and measuring system.

I spent the weekend in Belize City at a 4-day conference held by COC Netherlands for their partnership with LGBT organizations in Belize. COC is working with 16 countries through their newly-initiated PRIDE program (Partnership for Rights, Inclusivity, Diversity and Equality). I was presenting the research I've been doing with PETAL over the past few months about lesbian and bisexual women in Belize. The conference was a lot of work and I was very glad to be there.

Beyond Race: On Being Black In Belize
One of the things I love most about Belize is the cultural diversity. I really appreciate living around folks from different ethnic groups – Creole, Garinagu, Maya, Mestizo, Chinese, Indian, and those from nearby Caribbean and Central American countries like Guatemala and Honduras. Being from New York City, where there's a bit of everyone from around the world, the variety of flavors and accents is comforting. Continue reading "Beyond Race: On Being Black In Belize"
A Necessary Part: On Vulnerability & Learning A New Culture
One of the things I love about living in Belize is getting to know and becoming friends with Belizeans. The longer I've been here, the more I've been spending time with Belizean folks I've met socially and professionally. I've met some really great people and I'm learning a lot about the culture from them, more so from just getting to know them as opposed to asking them tons of questions (not really my style). Continue reading "A Necessary Part: On Vulnerability & Learning A New Culture"
Choosing Balance: On Time
The way I spend my time here in Belize is incredibly different from when I lived in New York. That mostly has to do with the fact that I don't have a job. When I moved here, I made the conscious decision to give myself the time I needed to adjust to living in a new place and figure out what I wanted to do. I had no idea what that process would be or how long it would take, and it hasn't been easy. Continue reading "Choosing Balance: On Time"
The Forest For The Trees: Reflections On Living Abroad
On Friday, I spent most of the day in Belmopan taking care of business for a volunteer permit. It required a lot of running around – talking with people at the Ministry of Labor, getting photos taken, gathering documents, and sitting in the police station waiting to receive copies of my record – on a 100-degree day. I did all of this with my friend Simone, who is helping me secure a permit with her women's organization so that I can provide mental health consulting.

Finding My Tongue: On (Not) Speaking Kriol
Even though I've been living in Belize for nine months, I still don't speak Kriol. Often when I am out and about, buying something or making small talk with folks, people address me in Kriol. Though I understand what they are saying, I don't respond in Kriol, which then makes them speak to me in carefully enunciated English. I've learned not to take it personally, and still like to think that I am not one of "them" – those American expats who come across as an outsider and expect to be catered to. I don't want to stand out, I want to blend in. Continue reading "Finding My Tongue: On (Not) Speaking Kriol"
(Truly) Alright
I've been quiet on here this week. Things are good, with the perfect amount of busy and chill. Easter is celebrated in Belize for four days, so since Friday there's been permission to just relax. Which I always appreciate. Continue reading "(Truly) Alright"
A Late Start
Ro's long-time friend Angela came to visit on Saturday, and we carried on into the week. I'm just now kind of pulling it together. It was totally worth it, though. This was my first time meeting Angela and she's the homie. We hung out and had brunch at one of my favorite spots, and had dinner on Monday night at a restaurant in Kontiki that I had never been to. Which had delicious frozen margaritas. So, you know. Continue reading "A Late Start"
Feeling Like A Local
Yesterday I went to Belize City to meet my friends Fran and Greg, who were in town just for the day. They were new to Belize and I was playing host, which was kind of cool because it was the first time I felt like I finally have a sense of how to get around the neighborhood on my own, and have been to enough spots to make suggestions.

New & Old Traditions
This is Ro's and my first Christmas in Belize.
The holiday is widely celebrated here, and for weeks I've been seeing homes and shops decorated with various Christmas-sy things, which has been amusing and a bit strange, mainly because it's so hot and sunny and seeing this against the backdrop of palm trees is so different from what I'm used to. Like this tree that went up in the center of town last week: Continue reading "New & Old Traditions"

The story of The Go-Betweens had previously been largely untold save for Robert Forster's autobiography, Grant & I. But the film, The Go-Betweens: Right Here is set to change that. It's a wonderful music documentary that plays out like a love letter to a seminal, Australian band. It also dives head-first into the melodrama, adventure, mirth and madness that typified the group.
The film is directed by Kriv Stenders (Red Dog) who became friends with The Go-Betweens several decades ago. He would go on to direct a number of their music videos including the one for their biggest hit, "Streets Of Your Town." By having someone so close to the group at the helm you would be justified in thinking that this documentary is pure hagiography and congenial back-slapping, but thankfully this is not the case. Instead, Stenders has made a film that is fiercely intimate and doesn't shy away from tackling raw nerves and difficult topics with brutal honesty (and this is particularly the case in the interviews with drummer, Lindy Morrison and multi-instrumentalist, Amanda Brown.)
The Go-Betweens' story starts in 1977 when two young men met at the University of Queensland. They were Robert Forster and the late Grant McLennan. The two bonded over their mutual love of films, books and music and they would go on to start a band at a point when Queensland was practically a police state headed by the then state premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Forster and McLennan were eventually joined by Lindy Morrison on drums and she would also become Robert's girlfriend. Amanda Brown would join in 1987 and become Grant's girlfriend while several other musicians would enter and exit the fold.
This story chronicles the band's attempts to conquer the world including the time they spent overseas. They would release several albums that were critically-lauded but that failed to reach the commercial success that they were due. Along the way there are many different elements and stories- from the misadventures of friends and lovers as well as egos clashing, commercial failures and their many creative triumphs. These things are all spectacularly rendered through a series of re-enactments, interviews and archive footage of the band including old interviews with McLennan.
The surviving members of The Go-Betweens are interviewed in a farmhouse that is similar to the cattle station where McLennan grew up. It is also like the setting of "Cattle & Cane" and proves a great contrast to the film's other interviewees who are shot in black and white. Writers Clinton Walker and Toby Creswell discuss the influence and contributions of the group. There is also a veritable who's who of Australian musicians who are interviewed including: Paul Kelly, Ed Kuepper, Dave Graney, Mick Harvey and Steve Kilbey.
The Go-Betweens: Right Here manages to pack a lot into its slim time frame including the various line-ups of the band and the reunion albums that McLennan and Forster made shortly before the former's untimely death. The film's soundtrack is worth the price of admission alone and will help introduce the band's jangly and glorious pop discography to a new generation of fans. For those people already acquainted with the group, they will learn more about the emotional rollercoaster that transpired in tandem with the creation of their fine and unique music and those jangly pop gems. When you sit back and watch you can listen, laugh and cry with this documentary and you will not be disappointed because it is ultimately a jaunt through the streets, valleys and highways of this band's town.
Review Score: FOUR AND A HALF STARS (OUT OF FIVE)
The Go-Betweens: Right Here screened as part of Sydney Film Festival, where it was reviewed.

I have been in sales most of my life and one thing I learned is that, facts tell and stories sell. I was thinking about this today as I was walking around the hot rod show in Laguna Beach. This show had classic cars from the early 1900's to cars that were created in a shop with 2 types of cars welded together to make a new fun machine.
The man who created this car did it 20 years ago as a project with his teen aged son. He wanted to get his sons nose out of his computer and suggested making a car with him that when he turned 16 he could drive. They welded 2 Volkswagen bugs together, one that had a smashed front end and one that had a smashed back end. Never mind that the cars were not the same year or style. It was just a fun father-son project. The kid came out with the knowledge of how to build a car and the father got his son out of the house for some bonding time. Sure, the car was very cool, but the story makes it even cooler.
I started looking at all the cars and people as doors to stories. Given a chance, wouldn't we be better people if we knew more stories? I think we would be less judgmental and more forgiving if we knew the story behind the door. My mother was an amazing woman who believed in people like no one I have yet to meet. She got angry with me one day when I was about 14 because I commented how bitchy the woman at the register in the grocery store had been behaving. My mother told me sternly that people just don't act like that I should never judge. She went on to say that you never know what happened to that cashier before she left for work. Maybe she got in a fight with her husband or she was worried about her child. Well at 14 that little lecture just made me mad but as an adult I understand what she meant. We all have our boiling points and when we do boil we misbehave, it is hard not to. Not many of us misbehave for the soul purpose of making people mad.
Getting to know peoples story is not difficult really. We just need to be patient and ask questions. Some of us will start pouring our history out while others are more guarded or shy. I think we need to do this more because we live in a time when we are so busy that we don't take time for making new friends. Life seems to be on a superficial level but it is up to us to get a little deeper and care a little more. Nothing feels better than sharing your story with someone who is willing to listen, ask a few questions an make a few comments. It is what Steven Covey calls, listening to understand.
I think listening is an art form. You are either good at it or not. Myself, I am not a great listener, I am always trying to be better though. Each opportunity I get to listen to a story, I say to myself, "this is time to really hear what is being said, stop thinking and listen." It may sound crazy but it works for me and the outcome is always enlightening.

Hey all! I'm on vacation! Whoop, I will be back Sunday so in the mean time I have my friend and former co-worker Eston guest posting for me for the next two days. He is an awesome cook and it was fun getting to cook with him when we worked together not too long ago. He is going with a bourbon theme! Who doesn't like booze and food huh? Hope you all enjoy!
Summer is all about grilling and family. What a great way to celebrate both together with delicious food. Both of these dishes combine timeless classics with an adult twist. Adding it in and substituting for another, each dish highlights a bold bourbon flavor while remaining true to an original masterpiece. I don't know about you, but my family never turns down chicken or dessert.
Even though you're cooking and having a good time, remember to drink responsibly and don't drink (too much) and cook.
1 pkg chicken legs
"Butt Rub" and garlic sea salt for rubbing
1 lb bacon, cooked and divided
2 Tbs honey
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1/4 cup bourbon, your choice (we used Jim Beam)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp chili or cayenne powder
Baked Beans:
1 lb navy beans, soaked in water overnight and drained
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tbs dry mustard
5 cups water
2 Tbs cider vinegar
Heat oven to 300. Cook bacon and crumble about 3/4 of it and place in large oven safe pot or dutch oven. Add the onion, salt and pepper, cook, stirring occasionally until onions are tender. Add beans, molasses, ketchup, mustard and water. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Transfer to oven and bake until the liquid is reduced, about 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and stir. Bake for another 1-1 1/2 hours uncovered until liquid is thick. Stir in vinegar after removing from oven.
Chicken and Sauce:
Rub your chicken in the Butt Sauce and sea salt. Cook chicken your prefered method (we grilled this recipe) until no longer pink, juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165.
Combine all sauce ingredients and mix well until combined. Place mixture in a small sauce pan and reduce. This will allow the alcohol content to cook out. Stir in remaining bacon left from beans. Use as a dipping sauce or drizzle over chicken.

St. Andrew's is a welcoming community where the hand of Christian fellowship extends out to offer all a place to grow in Christ. Founded in 1875, St. Andrew's is a 1928 Prayer Book church located in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. The 1910 building is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful churches in the Southwest, a truly inviting and holy space for worship and prayer. Yet the true heart of the church is not the building, but its people. St. Andrew's is a biblical church that stands faithfully and obediently under the authority of Holy Scripture. Great emphasis is placed on Christian education for all ages as the knowledge of God's Word is essential in the Christian life.
Here is a space to worship the Living God, where all are encouraged to explore God's call and purpose in their lives. Here is a place to find other sojourners on the journey of faith.

The gentle morning breeze caresses the Angsana
That peeps into my lonely courtyard,
Luxuriant leaves swaying in rhythm
With the soft whispering of the breeze.
The sun slowly rises behind the trees
Bursts through the dancing leaves
And soft-focuses on my cell wall,
But not before its rays are sliced
Into hundreds of squares
By the criss-crossed iron grill
That encages the courtyard.
Thus patterned, the dappled light
Flutters ever so merrily on the wall,
Transporting me to the ocean floor.
And when the breeze is at its rest,
The leaves still and hang in the sunlight
Lo and behold!
I've got a lattice trellis in my room.
With creeping vines and Nature most divine
Who would have known
The iron grill that imprisons the body
Sets the spirit free
And imagination to run wildly.

The Mackie farm is a small place, tucked just on the edge of farm. It runs ten acres large and houses seven people, all of which help to work the land and tend the animals. It's been in the family for years to come and will be in the family for years.
Mostly, the property is devoted to farming. They do tomatoes and squash in the summer and switch to corn in the fall. There's always a good supply of pumpkins come October and even a nice garden during the winter, where Mother Mackie grows her spinach and enough potatoes to last the family through the coming year.
There is, however, an old chicken coop. It's made of wood and wire, and home to but a single hen who quit laying eggs long ago. Beside this coop is a small barn, just as worn but quite steady, with a pen hooked up to the rear entrance.
This is where the Mackie's keep their sheep.
Benny, Gildo, and Orville are the oldest. Molly has only just now reached her second spring. This is the first time that she will be sheared – and, oh, she's excited!
The young lamb keeps prancing about Tommy Mackie's feet, bumping her head against his hands. She loves attention and the young boy is quite happy to give it to her, pausing in whatever task he's involved in to give her a quick scratch or a few pets.
It's not just a first for Molly, however. No, this is the first time that Tommy will be shearing the sheep on his own. He isn't excited – he's nervous! Shearing the sheep is a very important job, you see, and not just because the wool is useful.
No, this is one of the only times that you can really see a sheep's body. With their thick wool out of the way, it gives Tommy a chance to look each sheep over, better than they have been in months. He runs his hands over their bodies, slick with lanolin, and makes sure that there are no issues kept hidden.
Benny is a little skinny but he's getting old and Tommy isn't too worried. He makes a note on the board that hangs on one of the barn walls to up his feed.
By Molly's name, Tommy leaves a note saying that the ewe doesn't like the noise of the clippers. She's hard to get trimmed up but, somehow, the boy manages – even if it isn't the prettiest job.
Spring is a time of new starts. As wool scatters the ground of the old barn, Tommy knows that this is the truth. And this start…for himself and Molly…is a very good one.

I use this dough recipe to make pizza, calzones, rolls, bread sticks, and more. It really is a universal dough recipe that is quick and easy to make. This is also a great recipe to get your kids help with. My son loves adding the ingredients, and then later making his own pizza or calzone.
- 1 3/4 c warm water
- 1 T yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 4-5 c bread flour
In a bowl or 2 cup measuring glass, add the yeast and sugar to the warm water. Wait till the yeast becomes active and begins to bloom/create bubbles. Then, add the extra virgin olive oil.
While the yeast is activating, combine 1 cup of bread flour and salt together in your mixer. Once yeast has "bloomed" add the yeast and water mixture to the flour and mix. I use the attachment pictured above for my Kitchen Aid mixer to start with.
Continue adding flour 1 cup at a time until the dough becomes sticky. At this point I change out the paddle attachment and use the dough hook attachment. Then, I continue to add more flour 1 cup at a time.
Once the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl, and when you touch the dough it is a tiny bit sticky, but doesn't really stick to your finger, you will no longer need to add flour. If you don't have a mixer, add flour and kneed the dough by hand until it comes together to form a dough ball.
Form the dough into a ball, place in a oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down, and it is ready to use!

Tulane Blue Line replaces Loyola's shuttle service
September 1, 2018
This fall semester, Loyola students are skipping the maroon and gold for Tulane University's Blue Line shuttle system.
Loyola's van shuttle system has been discontinued and replaced by Tulane's shuttle system that will now serve Loyola students and faculty. The shuttle provides access to the West Road Garage stop, Carrollton Hall Turnaround and the Broadway Campus/Pine Street stop, according to an email from Amy Boyle, director of residential life.
The university decided to use Tulane's shuttles in order to use resources more efficiently, according to Boyle.
"Tulane and Loyola shuttles traveled the same path at the same time, duplicating services," Boyle said. "It was determined that we could make better use of available resources by consolidating the services."
With the addition of Founders Hall to Loyola's Broadway campus, Boyle said she believes that replacing the 11 passenger Loyola van with the Blue Line was a necessary move to accommodate more shuttle riders and shorten wait times.
"Blue Line buses are larger and provide more space for students, resulting in less likelihood of full shuttles with no space for riders. As you know, we have added just over 40 bed spaces to the Broadway campus, meaning more students to transport," Boyle said.
As for the future of former Loyola shuttle service drivers, Boyle said she couldn't comment due to Human Resources expectations and some students have expressed that, for this reason, the shuttle system's closure is bittersweet.
"I personally have mixed feelings about removing Loyola's shuttle since it has expanded the stops but has limited the hours," Kayla Corrigan, psychology senior, said. "I will also miss having my daily chats with Ms. Kathy who used to drive the shuttle. She has since been working in the LUPD office."
Corrigan said she is also concerned about how the Blue Line's additional stops will affect students' commutes to campus from Broadway.
"I do not think I will be using Tulane's shuttle system because it will double the amount of time it takes for me to walk to my room," Corrigan said, "I will honestly be walking to campus every day since it is less of a hassle."
The Blue Line will run from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. For evenings and weekends when the shuttle isn't running, students can download and use Tap Ride, a free on-demand shuttle service. The Wolf Pack Tap Ride line will provide weekend service from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
"The main disadvantage is that it ends at 6 p.m. and would only pick me up if I request in via tap app. It would be quicker to walk back to my building or even ask an LUPD officer to escort me back if I am nervous," Corrigan said.

We ALWAYS issue a certificate where necessary, it is part of the regulations – BEWARE of anyone (particularly some unscrupulous kitchen and bathroom fitters – NOT ALL OF THEM) who say that they will have to charge you extra for a certificate, it is part of the job. This is the main reason why Part P has been introduced. This type of work always needs one issuing.
Today, we have an increasing need for electrical sockets.
The electrical regulations quote that a lack of sufficient sockets is more of a danger than having too many.
Within reason, there is no limit to the number of sockets one can have in a domestic property.
Quoting directly from the regulations, the minimum number of TWIN sockets recommended is:
Room selection Small Medium Large
Main living room 4 6 8
Double bedroom 3 4 5
Kitchen 6 8 10
Conservatory 3 4 5
It is recommended that socket outlets in a kitchen are spaced at not more than one meter intervals above the work surface
Bedrooms kitchens and living rooms
All used in different ways by adults, children or teenagers, but we never have enough sockets for all our:
Table lamps, Electric blankets, Mobile phone chargers, Hair dryers, Alarm clocks, Amplifiers, CD players, T.V.'s Video and DVD players, Games consoles, MP3/4 players, Freeview / Sky receivers, Computers, Printers, Scanners, Monitors, Powered USB hubs, Floor lamps.
The list is endless and these could all just be in a teenager's bedroom! It isn't dangerous as such to have extension leads everywhere, but it is far from ideal.
Extensions and conservatories – Think about it carefully!
Will you want a cordless phone in there, maybe a TV or radio, a place to charge your mobile whilst tweeting on being nosey on Facebook? Maybe you like to use your Ipad or laptop in there, a table lamp, digital photo frame, Wii, Playstation etc….
Call us for a quote and let us do the work properly for you
The times someone has had an extension built then called in an electrician after the plastering and decorating has been done to add some lighting, more sockets, etc.
Your average extension electrical installation will have a couple of sockets in the corner, and a pendant light fitting.
Conservatory companies are famous for "including all the electrics and plumbing" in the quote, but they sub the work out to a contractor, pay them little, and you get a bare minimum done for your money. Perhaps a socket in 2 corners!
Will you be putting a TV in your conservatory or extension – you will need an aerial point too?
All items such as Laptop PC chargers, Video / DVD players, need an electrical outlet as do some children's toys.
Maybe a digital photo frame? Before you know it, you just haven't got enough sockets.
Cordless phone stations require a mains connection and a phone socket together.
Will you put an amplifier or radio in, what about a fan?
Do it right first time!
What about outside the building?
How often could you have done with an outside socket?
It would be a great shame if you have to install one AFTER you have just built a conservatory or an extension or perhaps you would like one on an existing wall.
Maybe think about adding some brick lights outside an exit doorway, they will have a useful safety purpose as well as a security measure and will light up an area outside to look at.
Also they could be controlled with a switch or automatically on a light sensor.
Energy efficient bulbs or fittings can be left on for long periods without costing lots on your electricity bill. See the security section!
Sensor / Timer switched can be fitted in rooms or offices that detect when someone is present and automatically switch on the lights. They also turn them off after a set period of inactivity, saving energy and money.
Energy Saving
There are devices that can be fitted to an existing electrical system to measure how much energy is being used in a particular area, the results of which can be monitored on a regular basis and could highlight where savings can be made or if something is wrong.
Even the supply voltage can be reduced from 230 / 240V to around 220V. This results in less current and therefore less power being used, with minimal effect on the equipment being supplied, and again, saving energy and money!
The electrical system is distributed at 3000V between each substation. The substation is just a large transformer that divides the power down to 230V and distributes it to each property. As the properties get further and further away from the substation, the voltage drops lower and lower.
The rules have a minimum of 230V, and in order to achieve this, the substation needs to start off at a much higher voltage so the furthest property away gets the required 230V.
As a consequence, the properties nearer the substation will have a much greater voltage than 230V – Up to 250V. This is a percentage rise of around 11%.
Thats all your bulbs 11% brighter, but taking 11% off their lifespan. Your appliances running 11% faster but again wearing out faster but ultimately, your electricity meter will be whizzing around 11% faster resulting in an 11% higher electricity bill than the property at the "end of line".
There IS a solution – a Voltage Optimiser. This takes in whatever your supply voltage is, and lowers it to exactly 220 or 230V INSTANTLY solving the problems above, and having extra advantages like smoothing out spikes and transients on your supply.
Don't forget, we carry out all aspects of electrical work, Domestic Commercial and Industrial.

Use of google keyword position checker tool
Maintain your rankings
For SEO-management of any website or the internet project is quite important to find an effective set of useful tools. Among them, can be up lighted a google keyword position checker tool as a one to be at hand most of all. The analysis of keywords helps to maintain the ranking of a site. Google keyword position checker can be also used to have a view on a semantic structure of keyword system of the other sites those sharing the same topic with the target site.
Specific or universal tools
There are a lot of free tools with the same functionality, but if site effectiveness depends on the Google search system only, it is better to try the methods from developers.
Another way is to use complex SEO analytics for projects oriented on several search systems, those include keyword position check tool. Often, such seo softwares allow to choose a search engine from listed by its creators.
The functionality of such tools allows to have google search position check for one site and require to enter its URL. The additional useful function is to compare two or more sites with the target site. That's how a semantic structure of the competitors websites can become helpful in the development and improving the own site. To collect an info about competing sites of the same business segment, the tools that are able to provide you with an information from the several engines can be preferable.
Paid or free tools
Use of free or paid SEO instrument such as google position tool is up to the budget of a site management. Free tools can be helpful, but paid tools have a better functionality with much wider results list or effectiveness. Of course, a SEO-specialist can develop his own list of tools he used for a period and they prove themselves effective. This list can combine paid and free tools, as for many functions are included in premium or paid accounts only.
It is important to know what information over search engine results page (SERP) a tool is able to provide to make a decision about its effectiveness. For the most of the tools it is a list of actual keywords, and, in addition, organic and paid keyword results lists. It could include many additional information data like images, videos, geopositioning information to take attention on.
Many tools combine free and paid functions, but still effective. It is possible to use a free functionality of such tools and to pay for a premium mode only of it is needed.
Working with API
There is a method used by developers to increase the speed and effectiveness of the SEO tools by Google keyword position checker API. Using a specific script, it is possible to check a keyword position rapidly and to send many requests with several queries. Paid services of the same kind often use a quota and a determined number of requests.
The Google keyword position checker PHP script should be included in the site code and send an information to Google queries, so the results displayed in real time view. Many providers of a ranking service include an API in their management tools list to have an effective sync with the program of a SEO-specialist. It is good to be assured that such an interface used a secure connection protocol between the client's site and the target site.
In conclusion
Using a google keyword position checker tool for SEO is effective and approved by practice. However, there are some points to take an attention to. The list of functions of a tool could be stated as first criteria. It is good to analyze the general list of tools to compare the ways to use them. Then, a cost of paid tools should be added to the overall cost of a budget for site optimization. If an SEO-specialist is willing to use free tools, this step is unnecessary.

In one devastating week, Raynor and her husband Moth lost their home of 20 years, just as a terminal diagnosis took away their future together. With nowhere else to go, they decided to walk the South West Coast Path: a 630-mile sea-swept trail from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall. This ancient, wind-battered landscape strips them of every comfort they had previously known. With very little money for food or shelter, Raynor and Moth carry everything on their backs and wild camp on beaches and clifftops. But slowly, with every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, the walk sets them on a remarkable journey. They don't know how far they will travel, but - to their surprise - they find themselves on a path to freedom.

Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, while often used interchangeably, are not the same thing.
It's devastating to find out that a loved one has Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. After all, much about these conditions is still a mystery–to both the medical community and the average person.
This lack of knowledge can create distress for the individuals being diagnosed, as well as for their families.
Here's what you should know when comparing Alzheimer's Disease and dementia.
What is Dementia?
Surprisingly, dementia is not classified as an actual condition. Rather, it's an umbrella term that refers to a number of symptoms of abnormal cognitive decline.
While memory loss is common in individuals with dementia, changes in memory are caused by other underlying diseases. So a person who has memory issues doesn't necessarily have dementia.
While age-related memory loss is a normal part of getting older, memory loss related to dementia is not normal. In fact, the brain cell damage associated with dementia is significant enough to negatively impact a person's ability to function. This can take the form of short-term memory loss, difficulty in thought organization and even personality changes.
What Causes Dementia?
Alzheimer's Disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80% of cases.
In dementia caused by Alzheimer's Disease, excess proteins inside and outside brain cells impact those cells' ability to communicate. Cell death eventually occurs, leading to compromised function in that area of the brain.
Dementia can also be caused by traumatic brain injuries, vascular disorders and diseases like HIV.
Treatment options for dementia vary depending on the symptoms' underlying cause. Some forms of dementia can be treated using occupational therapy or medications that strengthen cognition. Dementia caused by thyroid malfunction, excessive alcohol consumption, or medication usage can even be reversed.
Lewy body dementia is the third most common cause of dementia, and is the second most progressive form of the disease. It is caused by the formation of Lewy bodies in the nerve cells in the brain.
In the majority of dementia cases, symptoms worsen over time.
Symptoms of Dementia
While dementia is common, it is not a normal part of aging. The most common symptoms of dementia are:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty with problem-solving or planning
- Decreased motor function
- Decreased coordination
- Difficulty organizing or executing complex tasks
- Decreased ability to pay attention
- Increased agitation or irritability
- Depressive symptoms, lack of interest in normal hobbies or activities
What is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer's Disease–a type of dementia–is an irreversible disorder of the brain that slowly destroys cognitive function. The disease gets worse over time, and cannot be cured.
Alzheimer's primarily affects people over the age of 65. When the disease is diagnosed in an individual younger than 65, it is known as early-onset Alzheimer's Disease.
The causes of early onset AD are similar to those of later-onset cases. However, many researchers believe genetics play a bigger role in early-onset cases.
What Causes Alzheimer's Disease?
One of the key contributors to Alzheimer's Disease is the formation beta amyloid plaques between nerve cells in the brain.
Beta amyloids are fragments of a bigger protein called amyloid precursor protein. In a healthy brain, these beta amyloid fragments are broken down and eliminated from the body.
In the brain of a person with Alzheimer's, however, the proteins stick together and create hard plaques. These plaques disrupt normal cellular function in the brain, causing inflammation and eventual cell death.
As the brain cells die, cognitive function is diminished. Memory loss is a key side effect of Alzheimer's-related cognitive decline.
What are the Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer's Disease is characterized by number of symptoms and side effects:
- Losing things
- Forgetting recently learned information
- Struggling to find words during conversation
- Increased anxiety
- Increased irritability
- Increased aggression
- Issues paying bills or managing money
- Getting lost, especially in familiar places
- Mood swings or personality fluctuations
- Noticeably short attention span
Individuals with late-stage Alzheimer's Disease need round-the-clock care and constant supervision.
Care for People with Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia in Arkansas
It can be overwhelming for family members to provide the specialized care a person with memory problems needs.
In response to this need for specialized care, many assisted living facilities have expanded to include memory care units.
Memory care units are staffed by healthcare providers who are trained in caring for people with Alzheimer's Disease or dementia. These facilities are closely regulated and must uphold the facility standards outlined by their state.
In Arkansas, facilities that specialize in memory care are classified as Level II Assisted Living facilities. Within those facilities, memory care wings are known as Alzheimer's Special Care Units (ASCUs). These units offer specialized care and treatment for people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia.
Arkansas Alzheimer's Special Care Units
In Arkansas, ASCUs are required to perform a physical and psychosocial assessment of each new resident. This information helps the facility staff offer care that meets the resident's unique needs.
Arkansas ASCUs are required to have certain design features, including :
- A floor plan that does not require visitors or staff to travel through the memory care unit to get to other parts of the facility
- A common space that can be used for dining, family visits or other activities
- Outdoor spaces and walkways that can be secured so that residents remain under the supervision of facility staff
- Contrasting colors of doors, walls and ceilings in areas of residential use
- Minimized design and detail on exterior doors, access halls, elevators, and emergency exits
- ASCUs must be built so that residents can freely enter and leave their own residential areas
- Residents must be able to freely access common areas
- Common areas, hallways and passageways must be free of obstructions that can cause tripping'
- Residential rooms must be designed so that residents can identify their own space
- Residential rooms must have non-reflective floors, ceilings and walls to minimize glare and harsh, irritating lighting

Edgardo Osorio is responsible for creating some of the most memorable shoes of the past few years – so much so that his famous Christy flats have been given their own space in Harrods' Shoe Heaven.
Having been such a success, the lace-up pointed pumps now take centre-stage in a display within the luxury department store. This is not the first time an Aquazzura design has achieved such iconic status. Osorio has managed on more than one occasion to design a shoe with a cult following, so we asked him: does he know which ones are going to be a hit?
"No, you never know. I mean, sometimes you design a shoe and you think this one is a winner, but you never know when something will be such a crazy phenomenon," he says. "For me, I knew the Christy flat was a beautiful shoe, but I had no idea the incredible trend that would follow – I mean, it's the most copied thing ever!"
Of course, with such success inevitably comes imitation, and recently, Osorio publicly accused Ivanka Trump of "blatantly steal[ing]" his Wild Thing sandal design. Does he worry about this form of imitation?
One of the most disturbing things in the fashion industry is when someone blatantly steals your copyright designs and doesn't care. You should know better. Shame on you @ivankatrump! Imitation is NOT the most sincere form of flattery. #aquazzura #ivankatrump Proud of mine #madeinitaly #italiansdoitbetter
"Being inspired is one thing, but completely knocking off a design is another. There is a big difference," Osorio explained. "When people take advantage of you and make a business out of it, that's not nice. It is damaging, because you don't want to see your shoes everywhere, but at the same time it's a huge compliment and I know that the women who wear my shoes – who know there is nothing like the real thing in terms of fit and comfort – would never go and buy the cheap, plastic version, so I am not really that worried."
Osorio's confidence in his customers' loyalty is clear to see, and this is partly because of how closely he relies upon his clients in the design process. Sometimes he even uses his own customers' Instagram imagery as a starting point for a collection. The designer explained how social media impacts his decisions:
"I can really see who she is, where she's going, what she's doing – it's incredible! You see your client and you think, 'OK she goes skiing. Do we have something she can wear après ski?' Women are so active nowadays, they wear so many hats and, for us, it's important to know that we are catering for each element of her life."
Having conquered the women's luxury shoe market, what's next on Osorio's list? "We are working on Aquazzura Baby." More success awaits, we can be sure of that.
The Aquazurra Christy pop-up is now open in Harrods' Shoe Heaven in the UK. Via Harper's Bazaar UK

Part 3/3 of Amerath's new journey takes place after Alethrion and Amerath break up in the prequel to "The Reward" called "The First Hero".
The little demi god Ruden gave his powers to Amerath just before he died as Alethrion killed his creator. With these new powers Amerath is basically a god too. Her basic ability is "vision" just like Ruden. She can see danger, past, present, potential future, and other things with her symbol which has the shape of an eye.
Now it's up to her to decide what to do with it! Remember to watch into the credits where we see her many years later (gods don't age) recruiting Lord Zerol for her new guild, "Amerath's Guild", which is a group of worthy heroes dealing with what Amerath's warnings.

Self-Organized Design: The Mechanism Behind Mindless, Yet Intelligent Natural-Selection
Igor Dolgov
Department of Psychology, New Mexico State University
[email protected]
The proponents of the intelligent design thesis argue, amongst other things, that the incredible variety of amazingly designed creatures on planet earth must imply the existence of an intelligent designer. This is a modern-day version of the watchmaker analogy, the classic and ineffective teleogical argument for the existence of God. The typical objection to this analogy is that complex artifacts /creatures can be produced by a mindless natural process, as exemplified by the infinite monkey theorem. In the present work, I present an argument for a mindless natural process, self-organization, to be the origin of an evolutionary process that appears intelligent. Additionally, I present a technique for computing the spectral coefficient of a time- series of mutations which would determine the degree to which the advantageous and deleterious mutations are self-organized. Rather than being a true objection to the watchmaker argument as applied to Earth's biodiversity, this viewpoint illustrates that a mindless natural process could also be intelligent, and allows for natural selection and intelligent design to be mutually inclusive.
