Hello, Guardian of Truth Readers!
By Robert F. Turner
As you know, the past few issues of Guardian of Truth have carried some of my articles, beginning with an explanation by the editor. The "usual stir" was expected, but phone calls and letters tell me of "raised eyebrows" and questions about "who has changed." I had hoped to "blend in", to this new job with a number of "less than personal" type articles, but apparently the public wants something more; so Guardian of Truth readers may expect a few lines on circumstances leading up to my accepting the invitation of the editor and board members to write for Guardian of Truth. I will also consider some of the readers' current questions.
For the past twenty years I have edited Plain Talk (many years writing eight articles per month), and most of that time I was preaching over thirty meetings per year. Then, health forced me to cut back on meetings (fifteen this year), so I taught "upper division" classes at Florida College for four fall semesters, and continued meetings in "free" time. When I began full-time meeting work, being seldom at home, I dropped subscriptions to "the papers," seeing only a few lines here and there as I visited in homes. No effort was made to "keep up" with the latest scraps or "write-ups"-and I can't say I missed them all that much. It was three months after the fact before I discovered I had been a victim in one paper; and I did not know I had been mentioned in the Guardian of Truth until studying back issues while considering this writing assignment. (Editors and writers should learn that only a small clan of readers are waiting anxiously for our next issue. Most of the brethren could not care less what we say.)
But I travel widely, talk with a lot of brethren, and have not been blind to the fact that so-called "brotherhood" journals among conservatives have undergone some bad days. Many preachers and others who once "kept up" with the papers, now tell me, "I do not read them"; and the tone of voice says, "I do not intend to start again." That is a genuine "issue" for all editors and writers, including myself; for despite my non-reading days, I am convinced the written word is still a powerful tool, and can be used for the good of all. But that is an "issue" that can not be solved by "fussing" at it. There must be reasons for reader apathy among sound brethren who once profited by "the papers." I would like to try to determine these causes and have part in providing the proper remedy. And to me, these are grounds for welcoming an invitation to use this medium.
A paper wields a tremendous influence on its clientele, and through them, on the church. This is not to say "influence" itself is bad, but to call attention to our responsibilities. A paper may become a "flag" about which a sectarian party rallies and by which the brotherhood is fragmented; or it can play down "self" and become salt and light to build up and strengthen all who will be exercised thereby. It is no secret that papers (like preachers, schools, etc.) have not always used their influence properly. A goodly portion of non-readers who have expressed themselves to me, seem to believe the brotherhood would be better off without the papers. Being a bit "independent" myself, there are times when I almost agree — but not for long. We should not let abuses of a good thing destroy its principle and usefulness.
Many brethren blame the papers for "pseudo-issues" that keep us in a constant turmoil. Sometimes I am tempted to think an editor may have "stirred up something" to create interest, and sell papers. This is a serious charge and may be unprovable. It is far more charitable to say an editor has used poor judgment in writing and selecting material to publish. Some writers seem to delight in pouncing on one another (do they feel it makes them look "sound" or "militant"?), and this can spread a fire before the danger is realized. The readers are to blame also, for some search for idnew issues" like a merchant man seeking goodly pearls. The next "mqior issue " may be our taste for "issues. " Unfortunately, one such blunder is enough to sour many readers on a paper; and, more important, it may keep them from reading sorely needed material on genuine docinnalproblems. It is the old story of "crying wolf" and destroying our usefulness as guardians of truth.
The editor and writers of a paper are not more God's "police force" than any other brother or sister. Yet, each of us has an obligation to teach the truth, positively and negatively, in keeping with our ability and opportunity, The problems of our generation will not be solved either by ignoring them or by prancing around the polemic ring in carnal battles. Smart Alec remarks have never "saved the church." The One Savior must be followed, in spirit as well as in truth, in private fife and from the pulpit. And we must see the printed word as but an extension of public teaching-a proven medium for embalming truth and conveying it to the hearts of men and women.
I believe loving one's enemies means treating them fairly and ethically, as "you would that men should do to you"; and that this is the best and only way to overcome them for Christ. Surely that principle applies to brethren or any others who may "differ" with my material; and Guardian of Truth readers' help in maintaining a proper attitude is sincerely solicited. My writing is usually condensed, may take a second reading in places, but you should feel no hesitancy in questioning it. I would like to think we could study together for mutual profit, learning and growing in the process.
I welcome the invitation from Guardian of Truth, to use their medium for teaching the public. The editor assures me of fair, ethical treatment; I believe him; and will work with this medium so long as those conditions prevail. No restrictions have been placed on me regarding subject matter, and because of popular requests, my next article will offer comments on "walking in the light." I plan to continue my usual practice of Scripture studies and observations on this and other matters I feel will help folk get to heaven. I have been known to tint my articles and sermons with a bit of what is hopefully called "humor," but never have I felt teaching God's truth is anything other than serious business. I want to thank brother Willis and all others who have encouraged me in this new venture, and pledge to do all I can to present truly scriptural and usable material. It will be my pleasure to meet and know Guardian of Truth readers, and correspondence from you will be welcomed.

XV. The recent Eclipse Results and Stokes-Planck's s AEther. By L. Silberstein, Ph.D., Lecturer in Mathem. Physics at the University of Rome*.
1. IT is well known that, in 1845, Stokes proposed a theory of aberration (Phil. Mag. xxvii. p. 9), which was based on the assumption that the luminiferous aether surrounding our planet is dragged along in its annual motion so that the velocity of the aether relative to the Earth is nil at its surface, and, increasing continuously, becomes equal and opposite to the Earth's velocity at very large distances from the Earth or, to put it short, at infinity. The purpose of this hypothesis, as opposed to that of Fresnel's stagnant aether, was to give a rigorous independence of all purely terrestrial optical experiments from the Earth's annual motion (combined with that of the solar system). In order to account for the semi-terrestrial phenomenon known as astronomical aberration, Stokes had to assume that the motion of the aether, between the Earth and the stars in question, is purely irrotational. But, by a well-known theorem of hydrodynamics, this assumption was not compatible with the incompressibility of Stokes's aether and, at the same time, with the absence of slipping over the Earth's surface.
* Communicated by Sir Oliver Lodge.
Phil. Mag. S. 6. Vol. 39. No. 230. Feb. 1920.
where a = otM/R, and is the velocity of the aether, relative to the Earth, at infinity.
* Of. H. A. Lorentz's paper on Stokes's theory of aberration in A mster-dam Proc. for 1898-99, p. 443, reprinted in vol. i. of his Abhandlungen.

Q: How to get HDMI devices to just work? Dell Vostro 2025 64-bit
Dual booting:
   Ubuntu 18.04.03 LTS Bionic Beaver
   Windows 10 Home
1 HDMI port
HDA Intel PCH (?) sound card/chipset (from aplay – see below)
In Windows I just plug the HDMI cable into the laptop and TV ports and – thanks to the wonders of plug'n'play – it all just works. The TV displays the video. The laptop speakers mute and the much superior sound comes out of the TV.
In Ubuntu, thanks to the novice unfriendly configuration, when you plug the HDMI cable into the laptop port it doesn't even recognise it. No, you have to switch off the laptop, plug in the cable, and then boot the laptop. Then you see only the laptop wallpaper on the TV while the video merrily plays on the laptop.  But the sound still comes out of the laptop!
Why is using HDMI on Ubuntu so hard?
Can anyone help me with these issues:

*

*How to get the video to display on the TV?

*How to get the laptop sound muted and the sound directed to the TV?

*How to post an enhancement request to the bug reporter? It asks me what package is affected. How would I know? Can someone tell me which package to nominate?

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

A: This is only a partial answer 8^)

*

*Switch on the TV and insert the HDMI plug.

*Insert the other end of the cable into the laptop before switching
it on.

*Click in the top-right hand corner to drop the system menu, then
choose Settings (crossed screwdriver and spanner icon).

*Choose Devices > Screen Display page.

*Click the Mirror button to duplicate the laptop screen on the
TV. (This button only appears when the HDMI cable is plugged into
an active – switched on – TV, monitor or similar video-
audio destination.)

*Still in the Settings app, choose Sound. The Sound page
displays a list of possible outputs. (Thanks, BananaPeal.)

*Choose the HDMI output that represents your TV.

*Close the Settings app.*

After you unplug the TV, you will have to change the settings back to the default.
I said this is a partial answer. No-one has yet told me what the relevant packages are to report an improvement-request "bug".
* I am a retired technical writer. Does it show?

The Agreement Of Purchase And Sale (AOPS) is the primary document used to purchase a property. It's equally important to both buyer and seller. An AOPS is almost always drawn up by an agent for a buyer client. Thus it's crucial that the listing agent carefully scrutinize a contract that they have had no part in writing.
I can't stress enough how important the AOPS is. Once signed it's a binding contract between buyer and seller. It's one of the key documents your Real Estate Lawyer works with. The AOPS is also forwarded to your lender.
I can write an agreement of purchase and sale in a half hour or so. But it often takes me just as long to explain the details of the contract to my clients. There are no shortcuts to the process and I never pressure my clients to hurry through the AOPS. After all there are 28 separate clauses and Schedule A to contend with as well as data such as names and price.
In today's post I've shared a YouTube video taking you through the AOPS from start to finish. Just a warning, it's long! But 15 minutes would be almost unacceptably quick if I was actually reviewing the document with real clients.
I've also included the 7 pages I used to make the video which you can review while watching.

(Gig reviews)
Ocean Alley @ Miami Marketta- 14/10/2018
Upon entering Miami Marketta for the sold out Gold Coast leg of the Ocean Alley tour, I was hit by a furious wave of lace flares and Brixton hats worn by a huge crowd of all ages ready to dance. It was a stormy Sunday afternoon, and despite the patrons being drenched by the rain, the atmosphere was full of cheer. Before this night, I'd always referred to Ocean Alley as "Ohhh, sounds like Sticky Fingers minus the racism and misogyny", but hearing them play I was immediately knocked off my high-horse and pleasantly surprised by their ability to connect with the crowd and the tightness of the performance.
One of the supporting bands of the night was CLEWS. These two ladies from South Coast NSW warmed up the crowd for Ocean Alley in typical indie-rock fashion. The sisters, Lily and Grace, had a natural and delightful stage presence that oozed the confidence of seasoned performers. Their coordinated outfits were almost as cohesive as their soaring harmonies and catchy choruses. This was unfortunately let down by the sound at Miami Marketta on this day. The vocal levels were way too muddy for a room where the sound just bounced off the foil roof, not to mention the amount of feedback throughout the set was excessive. However, the girls pushed through and delivered an energetic performance, even keeping the energy up throughout the acoustic ballad that they gave us in the middle of the set. This band radiates potential.
Much to the delight of the dedicated crowd itching with anticipation, Ocean Alley finally hit the stage. At first, I thought the sound had improved since CLEWS set, but I spoke too soon and we were hit with another long string of feedback and crunchy guitars through the first few songs, which would be totally fitting for a punk band. Unfortunately, this just doesn't roll well with a reggae-fusion surf-rock band. The sound improved as the set went on, and was soon barely noticeable behind the smooth guitar tones of the boys on stage. The energy was high throughout the whole set from the front man Baden Donegal, and they were all presented as very humble performers. Musically, each member fit their role well, especially during the guitar solos where they allowed for more space so that the instrument and tone could be appreciated. The effortless harmonies weaved around the heavy use of silky and spacey guitar tones and the boys were engaging. The crowd's energy was a match for this, as they lost their mind's over crowd favourites such as 'Confidence', 'Yellow Mellow' and even some new tracks.
Overall, the band delivered a captivating set that went for over an hour, including the encores. This, supported by the amazing light show by Miami Marketta, made for a fun Sunday afternoon despite the complications with the sound. If you get the chance to catch these surf-rockers sometime soon, I highly recommend jumping on board the 'Holiday' ship.

Previously, travelers wearing turbans were searched only if they failed to clear metal detectors or other preliminary checks. The new rules, implemented Aug. 4, allow pat-downs of religious headgear at the screener's discretion.
For the world's 25 million Sikhs, the turban is an article of faith, only to be removed in the home or in private.
"In the last three weeks, we've heard dozens of complaints, people being asked to remove their turbans in public and denied the use of a mirror or space to re-tie them, said Kavneet Singh, East Bay resident and director of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund. "For a Sikh man, that's like being strip-searched."
J.P. Singh, president of the Sikh Center of the San Francisco Bay Area in El Sobrante, teaches Department of Justice and local law enforcement agencies about Sikh practices.
"It's like asking a woman to take off her blouse in public," he said. "It's that bad."
At San Francisco International Airport on Aug. 12, screeners ordered aside three Sikh men. One of them was Kuldip Singh, managing director of United Sikhs.

Q: Which noSQL DB is appropriate I have an application which is receiving data for thousands (say 50,000) subjects.
Each data tuple comprises a subjectId and text data.
I am looking for an embeddable Java database which will provide me the following functionality:

*

*Store the data quickly (thousands of tuples per second).

*Provide lookup of the textual data for a subjectId.

*(Provide efficient way to) delete data older than X days.

*Must be embedded in Java process

Ideally the Berkeley JE database seems to meet my requirements, except its a key-value DB and my data is inherently multivalued. I'm not sure if this will be a performance issue with duplicate data.
What other embeddable options exist for this simple tuple schema?

A: If you want the db to index the data for you, you would want a document oriented database. If you only need to look up by key, you can serialize the data yourself using something like kyro or protocol buffers. If you can go with a schema, SQLite or Derby can be good solutions. OrientDB or Neo4j are graph databases that can be embedded. OrientDB is less mature, but has a better license. Cassandra is a Column oriented store that you can run embedded.
LevelDB and Bitcask are database libraries. Both have good licenses, but would be ports from other languages and may not have the full feature set. LevelDB is a better choice if you can't have the full key set in memory.

Inside Track: Scindia Story
By: Coomi Kapoor |
The longstanding family feud is not about different political ideologies but over the inheritance of the vast Scindia estate.
An additional incentive for Jyotiraditya's defection may have been a government bungalow in Lutyens Delhi, preferably 27, Safdarjung Road.
Whatever their public posturing, Jyotiraditya Scindia's two aunts in the BJP, Vasundhara Raje and Yashodara, are not exactly thrilled about their nephew joining the party. The longstanding family feud is not about different political ideologies but over the inheritance of the vast Scindia estate. It was not Scindia's aunts but his in-laws from the Gaekwad royal family of Baroda, Gujarat, who opened a channel for him with Narendra Modi. Amit Shah backs the anti-Vasundhara Raje faction in Rajasthan, while Yashodara was marginalised as a minister by Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Madhya Pradesh. An additional incentive for Jyotiraditya's defection may have been a government bungalow in Lutyens Delhi, preferably 27, Safdarjung Road. This was the Scindia family house for over three decades, allotted first to Madhavrao Scindia back in the 1980s. It was retained by the Scindias even when no member of the family was a minister. The bungalow is currently allotted to HRD minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank.

While entering Parliament House, NCP leader Supriya Sule congratulated Rahul Gandhi for two recent Congress appointments. Rahul refused to take credit, saying, "I am not making appointments. I am not meeting anyone.'' A journalist standing nearby suggested that Jyotiraditya Scindia might have been disillusioned by his lack of accessibility. After pausing a moment, Rahul protested, "Jyotiraditya was the only guy who could walk straight into my house. We were in college together.''
Patch-up
If Shivraj Singh Chouhan returns as chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, it signifies that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have shed their longstanding hostility towards him. After the Madhya Pradesh elections in December 2018, Chouhan had been confident that he could still manage to form the government since the difference between the Congress and BJP was a wafer-thin five seats. But even before the final results were announced, Modi conceded defeat and rejected Chouhan's proposal to cobble together a majority. Though Chouhan indicated he wanted to remain active in state politics, the BJP leadership appointed Gopal Bhargava as Assembly party leader. The Modi-Shah duo has not forgiven Chouhan, propped up by LK Advani and Sushma Swaraj, for briefly challenging Modi as an alternative OBC face to lead the BJP in 2014. In settling scores with Chouhan in 2018, Shah allowed a canny Kamal Nath to bring around more legislators. Jyotiraditya Scindia's revolt provides a fresh opportunity for the BJP, which is this time backing Chouhan, who is also close to the RSS. Relations between Shah and Chouhan thawed after the Delhi elections and the fall from grace of BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya, Chouhan's biggest detractor.
Missing sane voices
Prime Minister Modi's fury over communal violence in Delhi was not just about the riots per se, but that it happened during US President Donald Trump's visit. The government's media minders, whether from the ministry of external affairs, the PMO or the BJP, failed miserably in controlling the narrative in international media. The buzz in political circles is that the Shah-Modi team rode high only as long as there was a seasoned and media-savvy Arun Jaitley to advise the duo about impending pitfalls and to soften criticism. The present media spokespersons simply preach to the converted and ignore criticism. After Jaitley's death last August, the BJP has blundered from one crisis to the next. Sushma Swaraj's absence is also missed.
Blind introductions
The Raj Thackeray family is cursing itself for scoring two self-goals. Raj introduced struggling journalist Sanjay Raut to the Thackeray family. Raut took over as the powerful executive editor of Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana and eventually propped up the easy-going, laid-back Uddhav against Raj, who had aspired to be party chief for years. Raj's sister Jayawanti introduced her colleague at LIC, Rashmi Patankar, to Uddhav and the two ended up married. Rashmi turned out to be the ambitious one in the partnership, who pushed her husband to take the chief minister's chair. Now Rashmi has taken over as Saamana editor. Her sister's son Varun Sardesai is a key figure in the Sena youth wing and is also aide to his cousin Aaditya. Even Rashmi's brother Sridhar Patankar plays an active role in Sena affairs.
Promoting women
There have been two women Lok Sabha Speakers, Meira Kumar and Sumitra Mahajan, but it's Om Birla who has done the most to promote women MPs. The current Lok Sabha has a record 78 women and Birla has ensured that each got an opportunity to speak in the House. Some women were hesitant but Birla encouraged them.

The term 'desertification' makes one think of barren, desertlike conditions. In addition to dry, sandy soils though it should be remembered that the CCD definition also includes other factors including biodiversity loss, ecological deterioration, disturbances of vital natural resources such as water supplies, poverty and the breakdown of human societies as a result.
The USA 'Dust Bowl' during the 1930s dislocated and impoverished hundreds of thousands (famously captured in John Steinbeck's novel 'Grapes of Wrath').
The Soviet Union created land degradation on a large scale in the Central Asian drylands through mechanized over-farming (Holzel et al. 2002).
The diversion of water flowing into the Aral Sea for crop irrigation during the Soviet era triggered catastrophic desertification over a large area (Saiko and Zonn 2000).
The limited amount of farmland available in North Africa and West Asia are being pressured by overgrazing combined with extension of the cropped area (Abahussain et al. 2002), and by salinization caused by dam and irrigation systems, such as in the Nile Delta (Juo and Wilding 2001).
Dryland degradation is widely reported across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Northern China, Australia, northeastern Brazil, the Caribbean Islands, and many other dryland areas have experienced damage from deforestation and overgrazing.
Even Europe is not exempt; degradation is a significant issue across its driest, southern Mediterranean zone (Garcia Latorre et al. 2001; Yassoglou 2000).
As the major use of land in the dry areas, agricultural systems play a critical role in desertification and its frequent companion, drought. The poor in developing countries are especially hard-hit by these scourges, because they depend on agriculture for a bare living. In short, desertification, drought, poverty and agriculture are interdependent problems of enormous magnitude and worldwide extent.
What are the major causes of desertification?

Q: Doctrine - how to get the SQL INSERT query, in the postSave() event? I would like to get the exact SQL INSERT query that Doctrine generates when an object's save() method is called.
Preferably, I would like to get it in the postSave() event of the model and log it in a txt file.
For instance:
<?php
$user = new User(); // A Doctrine Model with timestampable behavior enabled
$user->first_name = 'Manny';
$user->last_name = 'Calavera';
$user->save();
?>

I want to get/log the following SQL query:
INSERT INTO user (first_name, last_name, created_at, updated_at) VALUES ('Manny', 'Calavera', '2010-08-03 12:00:00', '2010-08-03 12:00:00');

The background for needing this, is that I wish to mass-import later the data by parsing the txt file.

A: I don't think there is any easy way to do this since the behaviour of save() varies depending on a few different things (if you're inserting/updating).
If you had created a doctrine query object, then you can call the getSqlQuery() method like this:
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->select('u.id')
->from('User u');

echo $q->getSqlQuery();

but the save() is a method, not an object so this won't work.  I think you'll have to hack in some code to detect whether you're inserting or updating and build a query to log on the fly and then use save().
I know this suggestion is not ideal because it is not logging 'exactly' what save() is doing but for the purposes you stated it should still work just as well.

A: Why don't you try to see how the symfony developers do it? Check their WebDebug Toolbar for Doctrine here. The WebDebug Toolbar outputs all query that you do on a page.
There's a hook on DoctrineEvent, and I think you can modify the code to do what you want. Check the getDoctrineEvents and getSqlLogs method.
Hope this helps. If you need further explanation, please write it in comment, I'll try my best to explain.

A: Take a look here: http://www.phpandstuff.com/articles/codeigniter-doctrine-scratch-day-8-hooks-profiling-dql and go to the section headed Profiling with Doctrine and Creating a Profiler Hook. Altough this is for the use with the CodeIgniter framework, it can be easy adopted to your own environment since the code has no dependencies to the framework.
You basically want to set up a Connection Profiler and let it write all queries to a file. I suggest appending all queries to the file to have a better "log"-like feeling. Don't get confused by many framework talk inside the articles. The examples work very well (with a little understanding and copy&pasting) in other scenarios.

A: you can use the profiler from the sfDoctrineDatabase class. Use the getQueryExecutionEvents to grab all queries.
$databaseManager = sfContext::getInstance()->getDatabaseManager();
if ($databaseManager) {
    foreach ($databaseManager->getNames() as $name) {
        $database = $databaseManager->getDatabase($name);
        if ($database instanceof sfDoctrineDatabase && $profiler = $database->getProfiler()) {
            foreach ($profiler->getQueryExecutionEvents() as $event) {
                $conn = $event->getInvoker() instanceof Doctrine_Connection ? $event->getInvoker() : $event->getInvoker()->getConnection();
                $params = sfDoctrineConnectionProfiler::fixParams($event->getParams());
                $query = $event->getQuery() ;

                foreach ($params as $param) {
                    $param = htmlspecialchars($param, ENT_QUOTES, sfConfig::get('sf_charset'));
                    $query = join(var_export(is_scalar($param) ? $param : (string) $param, true), explode('?', $query, 2));
                }
                // log the $query here, or use the symfony's logger
                // sfContext::getInstance()->getLogger()->debug(sprintf('Query Run !! %s ', $query));
            }
        }
    }
}

dont forget to join the query with the parameters (so it will replace ? with the values )
:D

A: You can convert you DQL query to SQL by this function: http://tokarchuk.ru/2010/12/dql-query-to-raw-sql/

LAURA LYNN
Interview by: Vanessa Peters
SKYN: Laura-Lynn thank you so much for interviewing with us, we are huge fans of your work and we've been really eager to get to the heart of your art, so I suppose the first thing we should ask you is…why photography?
LL: My pleasure! Photography is my passion. It brings me great joy. I am a very observant person; I see beautiful things around me all of the time. I love to photograph my perspective. I love the medium's ability to capture emotion and how it serves as a memory, and transcends time, as it is preserved through history.
SKYN: "How it serves as a memory" is a great way to put it. You are from Thunder Bay, Ontario but you moved? Could you tell us a bit about that that journey?
LL: I needed to get out of Thunder Bay, to expand my mind. It is a very wonderful town and beautiful place to grow up, especially the countryside where I was raised, but I needed to evolve and experience other cultures and world views. I came down to Southern Ontario, straight out of high school, to study at a university in the Niagara region. I found myself migrating to Toronto on the weekends, and sure enough ended up living here midway into my schooling. I loved the liveliness and openness of the city, and the pace of it inspired me. Coming from a slow-paced town, being in Toronto really opened my eyes to many things. Being here helped me evolve as an individual. I started to take myself seriously as an artist, and notice the opportunities around me to make photography my life. I've since been continuously travelling to nearly all of the states in America; I think I've been to around 46 states. But I will say I've never been to Europe. I'd love to pretend I've been but I have to be honest. I am waiting for Europe to call for me. I believe in destiny and I know Europe is soon in my future. I'd like to go for a reason… My travels are often focused on specific projects or tours, and that's what I'd like of Europe. I have many friends there but I just haven't gone yet. I know once I'm there, I will not want to leave. It seems so enchanting.
SKYN: Europe really is a whole other world, it's incredible to the point where it's actually overwhelming but I'm trying my best not to get off topic *laughs*. Your work has been featured in the Village Voice, the New York Observer, the LA Times, Rolling Stone, Nylon, Dazed and Confused, the Fader, literally the creme de la creme of North America. How does it feel to know that you are just that fucking excellent?
LL: I feel as a photographer I am always striving to do better, even reading this question, made me think that. Though if I were to have known I would be published in those publications, say 5 years ago, I would be jumping up and down in euphoria. I do very much respect those publications and I think it's quite cool my work's been published by these respects, but I feel like it's an endless climb as photographer. I don't know where the 'top' is and I don't know if I'll ever stop climbing, you know?
SKYN: I know exactly what you mean, thinking of it negatively could be daunting but thinking of it in a positive light means endless possibilities. I'm curious about the camera(s) you generally use when you are working?
LL: I use primarily Nikon FM 2 (35mm) & a Yashica Mat (Medium Format). For Super 8, I use a Canon 514.
SKYN: A little of everything, I like it! I notice a strong sense of nostalgia in your photography, why do you tend to capture that rather than other feelings?
LL: I didn't know that came thru, but it makes sense. I have always been a nostalgic person. I think that's where I first made my connection with photography. I would look at my grandparents' old photo albums and long for the past. The past to me seems so elegant, simplistic, and calm. From the architecture, the cars, the style and all that jazz. It is so romantic to me. I love to study the past, watch old films, listen to old music, I began to use antique cameras to try and capture my reality in this way, for my life to resemble the "olden days", as though we are evoking former eras in our modern day. I feel as though I was born in the wrong era, so my photography often negotiates that disconnect between myself and the modern world.
SKYN: You're right, for whatever reason the past does seem more perfect. Aside from that though, what is it that motivates you, not just in photography but in the world, in life?
LL: The sun and the moon, really. When I see the moon I feel a surge of energy and vitalization. The sun energizes me too. I am very sensitive to their presence. It's hard in the city sometimes because of the light pollution and all, so sometimes I go days without seeing either, and it feels so strange. Being in the nature motivates me, being by the ocean, in the desert, in the countryside, in flight. I suppose it's a bit selfish, but I am motivated by my desire to leave something noble behind on my life on earth. Something that will transcend time. Hopefully my photographs will carry on my vision.
SKYN: There is nothing selfish in wanting to leave a legacy that you are proud of. Who inspires you beyond all reasonable doubt?
LL: My family and my best friends.
SKYN: That's great, I can certainly relate to that. What are three brands that characterize you right now?
LL: Sara: Yerba mate tea, it's what I drink every day. It's my morning ritual and keeps me cool, calm, and collected.
Kodak: The film I use is Kodak Portra and Kodak Super 8 film. I don't know where I'd be without their films; they have a very special quality to them. The colours and the grain are gorgeous.
St. Francis: they have the best tinctures and they keep me healthy.
SKYN: Yerba Mate is such a major key, so I hope everyone is paying attention when I say, that shit will keep you looking like 33 when you're 44. In other come up news though, who in your opinion is a rather underrated photographer?
LL: I really like Joe Curtin's work. It is timeless, very interesting, has this everlasting youthful feel to it. You can see his work here.
SKYN: I agree, it's fresh and insightful. One of the reasons I actually wanted to get into photography was because of the American apparel shoots and brand campaigns I would see everywhere and I noticed that you have actually shot lookbooks for the brand, what was that like?
LL: The shoots themselves were pretty fun. I was shooting mainly with one of my good friends Mouna, so we had a lot of fun. She is a very confident, sexy, and vibrant woman and a fantastic model, so shooting with her was a breeze. Overall though, it was not so great working with the company, a lot of poor communication and I had to hound them to get paid, which is very unprofessional. It was an interesting experience none the less.
SKYN: That frustrating, people always love to shoot with photographers but when it comes to paying for the work that they love so much, shit gets real. I suppose this is a case in point. Moving away from that experience, what brand would love to collaborate with that you haven't had a chance to collaborate with yet?
LL: I'm gonna be very honest and say I'm not so hip with brands or new fashion. I took a step back from fashion a few years back when I began to focus more on music photography. And as I said before I am kinda living in the past, so I'm a bit out of the loop with what's new and cool. I'll say though I'd like to work with Budweiser. That is a brand I feel I would work well with. The company plays upon their nostalgic aspects and their connection to old-Americana, which I love to photograph. I think we could do incredible ad-campaigns together. I often photograph my bottles of Budweiser on my travels, as they are situated in different American locations, like at a saloon, on the beach… Something feels right.
SKYN: You hear that Budweiser? You better get your life and hire this girl! *laughs* Anyway aside from Photography what else are you passionate about?
LL: I am very passionate about music: South American, Jazz, Mexican, Blues, Rock 'n roll. I love aromatherapy, nature, herbology, cooking, wine, geology, driving and the golden era of Hollywood film.
SKYN: There is certainly something to be said about the nostalgic nature of the golden era of Hollywood film. I didn't realize it until I binged watched turner classic movies one Christmas. Anyway, amongst all of your many accomplishments, which do you feel is your most notable?
LL: I would say what I am most proud of is being published in Rolling Stone. This is a publication I deeply respect; it is the epitome of music photography.
SKYN: Right it really is quite an honor, what has been your favourite collaboration this far?
LL: My favourite collaboration is a recent music video that I shot and directed with my best friend, Kai Davey-Bellin, for the beautiful and talented singer Weyes Blood. We were blessed with the opportunity to film it in our hometown of Thunder Bay, shot the video in locations we have emotional attachments to, and got to shoot the video on super 8 film. We had so much fun filming. We canoed in the river he grew up hanging out by, we filmed the artist swimming in the lake I grew up on and climbed a wild mountain that overlooks our town. We wanted to show the beauty of our hometown surroundings, the serenity of nature there, and we accomplished it well. When I watch it to this day, I tear up. It really hits home and makes me miss my country life in Thunder Bay. Plus her song is absolutely brilliant. I am very proud of the video as a collaborative project, I think I will look back on it decades from now and still feel this pride.
SKYN: You'll have to send us a link so we can show our support! Jeez your work is so remarkable and given I wonder if you find commercial work to be more challenging than your personal work?
LL: I would say the challenge is juggling both. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming knowing I have to split my focus into two. I think developing my personal work may be more challenging, because there's so many projects I compile and archive, and that takes an exceptional amount of time and patience.
SKYN: Yes I can see what you are saying, what kinds of things make you happy Laura-Lynn?
LL: Swimming, cruising, aged wine, herbs, filming super 8, saunas, Mommas cooking, doo wop, guitar, my best friends, sunshine and flying in an airplane.
SKYN: Mommas cooking is always a good idea. Is your favourite photograph taken by you or taken of you?
LL: My favourite photograph is a new one I just took in in the New Year in Monument Valley, of an endless road. I've always wanted to go there more than anything in the world, it is mesmerizing. I've always wanted a photo of this moment, and now I have it.
SKYN: Certainly something you can tick off your bucket list. Tell us about what your college life was like, we all have our respective experiences and I would like to know yours and how it formed your trajectory of success?
LL: It was strange but I am grateful for it. I did not fit in at the school, I was too different. But I really enjoyed the content of my degree, studying film and music and choosing my own subjects. Overall I am not really into the formula and routine of university, it is not my vibe. I am more interested in independent studying. I was very socially removed from my school, but I did have a really inspiring professor, whom I still stay in touch with and receive support from. She helped motivate me to do film and photography professionally. I remember giving her one of my first solo zines.
SKYN: You probably didn't fit in because you were ahead of your time! You seem to really love working with elements like the earth, wind, sky, water, so what is it about those things that speak to you?
LL: I feel a connection with all of those. I grew up in the country, quite lonely as a kid and I would spend a lot of time in the backwoods. I found my love for Mother Nature at an early age. It's magnificent and its beauty blows my mind every day.
SKYN: Nature really does have a way of setting our egos straight. As someone who really enjoys listening to music as you previously mentioned, what music do you find yourself grooving to more of the time?
LL: Doo wop & Bossa Nova. I also tune in to my pals' radio station Reverbaration Radio a lot.
SKYN: Well shout out to Reverbaration!' I'm curious, about what you would probably be doing if you were not wrapping your life around photography?
LL: I would learn how to garden and start a herb farm. Make my own apothecary.
SKYN: Ahh, I'm seeing some recurring themes here, you truly are a botanical soul. Switching gears a bit I'm interested in your editing process, what's that like because it looks like you don't edit them much.
LL: I do not edit my photos. They are directly from the negative. It is also really difficult for me to make selections based on my quantity of rolls. I usually get one of my best friends to sit with me and we go through the best of together. I need their help with that kind of thing, because I love every photo from each roll.
SKYN: Right, right I believe you mentioned that previously! I imagine that the whole process from start to finish can get heavy sometimes so what self-care strategies do you practice just to keep yourself sane?
LL: Aromatherapy, walking a lot to clear the mind, sleeping in and call up my parents to ground me.
SKYN: Aromatherapy is another major key; UNIQLO and Muji have great aromatherapy diffusers for anyone who is looking for a good place to start. One of my favourite series that you shot was for your city at night scenes, which was a mix of portraits, architecture and nuances of a city that I can only assume, is Toronto, what inspired that?
LL: There's an edge to nighttime in a big city, with uneasy feelings, of desire and darkness. I found it in Toronto. Most of the photos take place there, or New York, another place which has that night-induced urgency. I love the way people change when the sun goes down, the city's energy shifts especially in cities that never sleep. I was inspired to by the glow of city lights and the fast movement of the city. The series is an attempt to document those feelings I get from being out late.
SKYN: What's next for Laura-Lynn Petrick?
LL: Soon, I'm going to move to the U.S. Try out New York and then get set up in California, somewhere on the ocean by LA.
SKYN: Anything or Anyone you want to shoutout before we wrap things up?
LL: Shout out to Cotillon, aka Jordan Corso, who I'm sitting next to as I write this, we're on tour heading to San Francisco. Shout out to Sunshine & the Blue Moon, my best friend Kai's fantastic band.
SKYN: When next we get to Toronto do we have an open invitation to spend some time with you?
Absolutely. You can come over for a juice & snacks.
SKYN: Awesome we will be taking you up on that.

The Stallins Family is no stranger to battling cancer. In 2011, Justin and Brianna were working hard to save up enough money to have the wedding of their dreams. Those dreams were cut short in the Spring of 2012, when Justin was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. He underwent his first surgery in April and continued his treatment with Chemotherapy for the two months after. They had been lucky enough this first time to have the extra funds that had been set aside for their wedding to make up for the expenses of treatment, in addition to overwhelming support from Justin's parents. They were wed after the first surgery in a small ceremony with only a couple friends and family present. The Chemotherapy worked wonders in controlling the progression of the Testicular Cancer. He continued to be monitored for the months after in case of any additional progression. In January of 2013, Justin had to go the Mofitt Cancer Center in Tampa to undergo a more substantial surgery to remove the lymph nodes in his abdomen that were enlarged and of concern to his Oncologist. This major surgery had a difficult and painful six-week recovery. However, after this hurdle, it seemed as if Justin's fight with cancer was over. The family was so relieved that he was in good health and could live a normal life with his wife and young daughter.
This relief was very short lived. In June 2015, Justin began to notice that his tonsils had become very swollen and painful. Upon consultation of a Specialist, it was recommended that he have a tonsillectomy. The doctor had remarked that Justin's tonsils were the largest he had removed in his 35 year career. During Justin's recovery from the surgery, he had begun to heal but then began to feel drastically worse. He contacted the Specialist for an early post-operative check-up. At his visit, the doctor read the pathology report for the removed tonsils. It indicated that Justin was now being diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Justin's Oncologist was contacted during this visit and recommended that treatment should be started as soon as possible. This more rare type of cancer is extremely aggressive and can be fatal in a matter of weeks. Justin's whole family was completely floored by this diagnosis and information.
Justin was sent to Lee Memorial Hospital only days after being diagnosed so he could begin Chemotherapy. This cancer is not only serious, it is also painful and the effects of the Chemo are extremely uncomfortable.
To date, Justin has completed four cycles of his estimated eight cycle treatment plan. He receives his treatment by staying in the hospital for about a week out of every month. Due to the extensive treatment and side effects, he has been unable to work, relying on his wife and family to help with the household and medical expenses. lt was only during his most recent visit to the Moffit Cancer Center in Tampa that they realized that the medical and living expenses may be too difficult to handle on their own.
Justin was notified that he would have to undergo a Bone Marrow Transplant, possibly within a few months. At this time, Justin will still be given Chemo treatments in the hospital until a donor match is located.
When this transplant takes place, Justin will have to live in Tampa for an estimated four months. During this time, he will require a care taker for around the clock monitoring. This family will need a lot of help and support for this upcoming struggle.
They are trying to raise money to cover the living expenses for his family so his wife is able to care for him during this time. Any help and support they receive are greatly appreciated. Come help us fight because no one fights alone!
Please come to the Justin Stallings Drawing for a Cure in the Winn Dixie parking lot Saturday, October 24, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Rib and chicken plates.

I broke out the red brushes to help stave off the polar vortex today! The hubby has been in and out of the ER for a few days, and finally is doing better. I cannot think of anything I want more for the new year than a healthy hubby. First of all, I'm a terrible nurse, and I only know how to cook using the microwave! We did learn a very valuable lesson through this ordeal, though - the stand-alone emergency rooms (not the careclinics) that are REAL emergency rooms are a much better option than Flower Mound's bran spankin new ER and Hospital. If you need medical care urgently, I highly recommend them. I hope you don't have to find out the hard way, like we did - and the price was really not that bad in comparison. I hope you have good health, and a healthy cook, in the coming year!

Just cracked open some English G.O. packs and got a Noble Knight Artorigus. Could anyone venture a price for it?
How did you get them early?
...Why would it have any value? It's a lv4 Warrior with 1800/1800 and no effect.
It's helly shiny and I didn't know.
Rescue Rabbit >> double artorigus >>instant Blade Armor Ninja.
And thus begins Rabbit Ninja.
I hate it too, and there are still other ways to use rescue rabbit with warrior monsters, but it's light, works with light warrior beatdown (it is one of very few strong LIGHT warrior monsters), and it can still hold its own pretty well!
But seriously it's not worth it to sell him yet because he's pretty garbage (just look at Alexandrite Dragon's price to get an idea for how much this guy will be going for). Maybe in the future some Light HERO Rabbit deck will top something and his price will shoot up for no reason, but until then you'd be lucky to get $5.
Oh, I was just curious since I couldn't find any info about it.
I've already picked a Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, Number 32: Shark Drake, and a Lightray Sorcerer.
Just out of curiosity what rarity is the Lightray Sorceror? It looks like it could be either Rare or Secret.
Wait, Galactic Overlord is out?!
Where the hell did you get them? What cards did you get? The set isn't even entirely known yet, much less released.
A bunch of butterflies. I mean, seriously, why the hell are there so many of them?


CHICAGO, March 16, 2015 – The Campaign for Quinlan, a $100 million fundraising campaign to benefit Loyola University Chicago's Quinlan School of Business, was unveiled today. The campaign is the largest in the business school's history.
The Quinlan School of Business is building momentum with a renewed focus and commitment to business education, research, and partnerships. Since 2012, numerous investors, including alumnus and former McDonald's Chairman and CEO Michael Quinlan, who made a historic $40 million leadership gift, have come forward to advance Quinlan's mission. These commitments have resulted in $70 million in new investments for the school. Now in its public phase, Quinlan looks to continue its growth and collaboration with the local and global business community through three campaign priority areas.
The Schreiber Center: The 10-story, state-of-the-art facility scheduled to open in September 2015 will promote transparency, connectivity, and community, complementing Quinlan's mission of preparing leaders who seek to do well and do good in business.
Leadership Centers: Each of the six leadership centers at Quinlan serves as a locus where research, education, and the business community intersect, delivering increased business expertise and significant social change.
Student Scholarships: Quinlan's mission compels the school to make a top-tier business education accessible to students who will become effective, committed, and responsible leaders.
Responding to the needs of the Chicago business community, Quinlan has doubled its research and analytics arm in recent years. The school now offers six centers and a lab that promote collaborations between students, faculty, and businesses to create partnerships and drive expertise. The lab focuses on financial services and business analytics; the centers specialize in supply chain management, social enterprise and responsibility, risk management, family business, international business, and financial and policy studies.
Through the work of these centers and the distinguished faculty within the school, Quinlan has established a number of important business partnerships. These partnerships have earned the school a seat at the table with civic and business leaders to exchange ideas about the issues facing our city, nation, and world. These partnerships also yield a very tangible benefit for our students—jobs with some of Chicagoland's top employers, including Baxter International Inc., which is led by Chairman and CEO Robert L. Parkinson Jr.
"From my personal experience at Quinlan, and from hiring Quinlan students, I can tell you what distinguishes Quinlan from other business schools: Quinlan prepares leaders who are socially responsible and dedicated to applying their talents to a business career that makes a real difference for customers, employees, shareholders, and, importantly, society at large," said Parkinson, a double Loyola alumnus, a generous Quinlan donor, and chairman of Loyola University Chicago's Board of Trustees.
This fall, the Quinlan School of Business will move into the new Schreiber Center. To celebrate the opening, the school will host a September CEO summit and gala. The summit will also kick off the Quinlan Signature Event Series, a group of panel discussion events focused on today's top business issues and the critical role of responsible leadership. The series will run through the 2015–16 academic year. More details will be available in the coming months.
The Schreiber Center is named in honor of alumnus John G. Schreiber, who along with his wife, Kathy, announced a $10 million gift to the school in March 2014.
For more information on the Quinlan School of Business, visit LUC.edu/Quinlan. To make a gift to the school, visit LUC.edu/Quinlancampaign or call Joe Gregoire, vice dean for external relations, at 312.915.7294.
Focused on responsible leadership, the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive education in the heart of downtown Chicago, with campuses and partnerships in Rome, Beijing, and Saigon–Ho Chi Minh City. The school houses six centers charged with producing research and enhancing connections to the global business community, including the Center for Risk Management, the Center for International Business, the Center for Financial and Policy Studies, the Family Business Center, the Supply and Value Chain Center, and the Raymond C. Baumhart, S.J., Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility. Founded in 1922, the school was an early pioneer in Jesuit business education and is firmly grounded in ethics. The school is named for Michael R. Quinlan, a double Loyola alumnus.

Chilean President Introduces Same-Sex Marriage, Adoption Bill
Michael K. Lavers
Chile Same-sex marriage
(WB) Chilean President Michelle Bachelet on Monday introduced a bill that would extend marriage and adoption rights to same-sex couples.
Ronaldo Jiménez, president of the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation, a Chilean LGBT advocacy group, is among those who attended the announcement that took place at the presidential palace in the country's capital of Santiago. Nicolás Levy, the Washington Blade's correspondent in Chile, was also in attendance.
"The president begins the act of signing a marriage equality bill," said Jiménez in a tweet that included a picture of Bachelet at the ceremony. "That's how we like Chile."

— Rolando Jiménez (@rjimenez_perez) August 28, 2017
Same-sex couples have been able to enter into civil unions in the South American country since October 2015.
The Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation in 2012 filed a lawsuit with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of three same-sex couples who are seeking marriage rights in the South American country. Bachelet's government agreed to introduce a marriage and adoption bill as part of an agreement it reached with the group in June 2016.
Opinion polls indicate the majority of Chileans now support marriage rights for same-sex couples.
Bachelet is scheduled to leave office in March after her term ends. Former President Sebastián Piñera, who is running to succeed her, and conservative lawmakers in the Chilean Congress are among those who oppose marriage and adoption rights for same-sex couples.

StartupResources.io - Issue #108 - GDPR Guide, finally!
Another Friday and spring is in the air! Jói here with another newsletter. How has your week been?
Today's newsletter is a bit later than usual, as I was rushing to finish up that guide to GDPR that I promised you several moons ago. The guide is tailored to startups and small businesses, written for a specific profile that many of you will fit.
The guide is still a bit rough. I haven't listed it on the blog RSS yet or promoted it anywhere else, so you're getting a bit of a first look, and I'd love your feedback. Some of my recommendations may be controversial, but then again please note that you definitely should not take my advice as legal advice, and if you listen to me, you do so at your own risk.
In this quick and dirty guide, you get a simple set of steps you can take, if you fit a profile that many small businesses and startups do, to become compliant enough with the GDPR to avoid fines, to treat your users fairly under the new regulation, and to work towards fuller compliance over time as the regulation gets interpreted and more best practices get established.
If you're building a brand and regularly putting out content and tweets, you should take a look at Promote Mode from Twitter. For a flat fee of $99 they will automatically amplify your message to a larger, interested audience. I haven't seen the results yet, but I signed up just now - for a brand like CrankWheel that puts out tweets regularly I think it might be very good value.
This is kind of a neat little tool if you just need to get a largish file to someone (or a group of others) on the same WiFi. Just visit plover.io from both/all devices and you'll be able to transfer anything you need.
Track someone's instagram likes and activity, see others' comments on Instagram. Could use this to investigate your competitors' marketing strategy on Instagram, research your audience interests, and target Instagram influencers. Starts at $5 per month.
Zillion Designs is a crowdsourcing platform which provides custom graphic designs through design contests/competition.
There's a free logo maker here that makes a different style of logos from the several that I've listed in previous newsletters. They also do custom logos done by a designer starting at $47.
If you're running a WordPress site, this may be of interest. It uses the typical trick of first asking users whether they like your site/product/service, then if they say yes, ask them to provide a review. Freemium plan or $99/year for more functionality.
Simple and free tool for freelancers to get paid (just pay the Stripe charges). Link your bank account to Wirize in just a few clicks. Create one-time payments, and check transaction states in real time.
DashMason will build a custom dashboard for you based on a long list of standard data sources they integrate with, or optionally based on a new custom data source. There's an affordable up-front fee for the initial service of building the dashboard for you, plus a small subscription fee to host it. Use code STARTUP20 for a 20% discount on any plan.
The conventional wisdom in the startup community these days is that to create a successful startup, you need to move at breakneck speed in everything you do. This article talks about how starting slow can help you move a lot faster later.
This fits pretty well with the StarfishWP tool listed above. A big article about ways to generate a lot of positive reviews from your users.
The hypothesis here is that to be great at marketing, you should start by learning everything about the product and customers' problems with it by doing customer support first. Interesting.
Get your creative juices flowing with this look at what new types of startups might become big in the next few years.
As always, thank you for reading! I love ending the week by putting together this newsletter for you.

Sources of Energy: Conventional and Nonconventional Sources – Explained!
Let us discuss both the sources with suitable examples.
The energy sources which cannot be compensated, once these are used (after their exploitation) are termed as conventional energy sources.
The average formula of coal is (C3/H4/)n. Out of the 6000 billion tons coal stocks under earth crust, 200 tons have been exploited the present society. The coal reserves are found in the states like Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal, M.P. and A.P. Some important coal fields are : Talcher, Raniganj, Jharia, Bokaro, Panch Konkam, Signoulli, Chanda etc.
Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, mostly alkanes and cycloalkanes. It occurs below the earth crust entrapped under rocky strata. In its crude form, the viscous black liquid is known as petroleum and a gas in contact with petroleum layer which flows naturally from oil wells is termed as natural gases. The composition of natural gas is a mixture of mainly methane, (95.0%), small amounts of ethane, propane and butane (3.6%) and traces of CO2 (0.48%) and N2 (1.92%).
A liquid mixture of propane and butane can be obtained from natural gas or refinery gases at room temperature under a pressure of 3-5 atmosphere. This is stored and distributed in 40-100 litre capacity steel cylinders.
The crude petroleum after being refined and purified, are available as petrol, diesel, kerosene, lubricating oil, plastic etc. for commercial and domestic use. In India, the oil deposits, are found at Ganga-Brahmaputra Valley, Bombay high, plains of Gujarat, Thar desert of Rajasthan and area around Andaman Nicobar islands.
On the world basis, petroleum deposits are found at Saudi Arab, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, USA, Mexico, Russia etc. As per the current survey, it is found that world petroleum deposits are diminishing at a very faster rate. If preventive steps are not taken, the existing petroleum will be available maximum up to 40 years.
The rural peoples require fuel wood or fire Wood for their day to day cooking which are obtained from natural forests and plantations. Due to rapid deforestation, the availability of fire wood or fuel wood becomes difficult. This problem can be avoided by massive afforestation (plantation) on degraded forest land, culturable waste land, barren land grazing land etc.
Energy obtainable from water flow or water falling from a higher potential to lower potential, is known is hydro- power. It is a conventional and renewable form of energy which can be transmitted to long distance through cables and wires.
In India, hydroelectric power is generated by a number of multipurpose river valley projects e.g. Hydro-power project Hirakud, Bhakra Mangal project, Narmada valley project, Nagarjun Sagar project, Sardar Sarovar project etc.
A small amount of radioactive substance (U235) can produce a lot of energy through the process of nuclear fission. For example, one ton of uranium can provide energy which is much higher than three million tons of coal or 12 million barrels of oil. In order to obtain nuclear energy, nuclear reactors are required. There are around 300 nuclear reactors all over the world. India has only four nuclear power stations (reactors).
The nuclear energy can be used in production of electrical energy, as a fuel for marine vessel and space crafts and for the generation of heat in chemical processing plants. In India, Uranium deposits are found at different parts of Rajasthan and Singhbum of Jharkhand.
Thorium is recovered from monazite sand found in the state of Kerala. Due to the higher energy releasing tendency of these radioactive substances, these can be used in nuclear reactors to release energy crisis. But the radioactive substances are exhaustible and can be used to develop nuclear weapons of mass destruction. In addition, dumping or radioactive wastes cause serious environmental hazards.
The conventional energy sources discussed above are exhaustible and in some cases, installation of plants to get energy is highly expensive. In order to meet the energy demand of increased population, the scientists developed alternate nonconventional natural Resources sources of energy which should be renewable and provide a pollution free environment.
Solar energy, a primary energy source, is non-polluting and inexhaustible.
(i) Converting solar energy directly into electrical energy in solar power stations using photo cells or photovoltaic cells or silicon solar cell.
(ii) Using photosynthetic and biological process for energy trapping. In the process of photosynthesis, green plants absorb solar energy and convert it into chemical energy, stored in the form of carbohydrate.
(iii) Converting solar energy in to thermal energy by suitable devices which may be subsequently converted into mechanical, chemical or electrical energy.
Since solar energy is non-ending and its conversion to some other energy form is nonpolluting, attention should be paid for the maximum utilization of solar energy.
Wind is air in motion. The movement of air takes place due to the convection current set out in the atmosphere which is again due to heating of earth's surface by solar radiation, rotation of earth etc. The movement of air occurs both horizontally and vertically.
Since wind has a tremendous amount of energy, its energy can be converted into mechanical or electrical energy using suitable devices, now days, wind energy s converted in to electrical energy which is subsequently used for pumping water, grinding of corns etc. As per available data dearly 20,000 mW of electricity can be generated from wind. In Puri, wind farms are set up which can generate 550 kW of electricity.
The energy associated with the tides of the Ocean can be converted in to electrical energy. France constructed the first tidal power plant in 1966. India could take up Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and by the process it will be capable of generating 50,000 mW of electricity, to meet the power requirements of remote oceanic islands and coastal towns. The Netherlands is famous for windmills. In India, Gujarat and Tamil nadu have windmills. The largest wind farm has been set at Kanyakumari which generates 380 mW of electricity.
The geothermal energy may be defined as the heat energy obtainable from hot rocks present inside the earth crust. At the deeper region of earth crust, the solid rock gets melted in to magma, due to very high temperature. The magma layer is pushed up due to some geological changes and get concentrated below the earth crust. The places of hot magma concentration at fairly less depth are known as hot spots.
These hot spots are known as sources of geothermal energy. Now a days, efforts are being made to use this energy for generating power and creating refrigeration etc. There are a quite few number of methods of harnessing geothermal energy. Different sites of geothermal energy generation are Puga (Ladakh), Tattapani (Suraguja, M.P.), Cambay Basin (Alkananda Valley, Uttaranchal).
The organic matters originated from living organisms (plants and animals) like wood, cattle dung, sewage, agricultural wastes etc. are called as biomass. These substances can be burnt to produce heat energy which can be used in the generation of electricity. Thus, the energy produced from the biomass is known as biomass energy.
The biomass may be converted in to some other form of fuel which can release energy. For example carbohydrate can be converted into methanol or ethanol which may be used as a liquid fuel.
Biogas is an important source of energy to meet energy, requirements of rural area. As per given data, around 22,420-million m3 of gas can be produced from the large amount of cow dungs obtained in rural areas in a year. The gas is generated by the action of bacteria on cow dung in absence of air (oxygen). There are two types of biogas plants namely. Fixed done type and floating gas holder type (Fig.4.3 & 4.4).
These plants are commonly known as Gobar gas plants because the usual raw material is cow dung (Gobar). The methodology involves in the process is to prepare a slurry of cow dung with water. Sometimes form waters can also be added to the slurry.
The slurry is subjected to bacterial decomposition at 35 .C. There are about 330, 00 biogas plants in India. All India dung production is about 11.30 kg per cattle and 11.60 kg per buffalo with about 67.10 m3 of gas per ton of wet dung.
In order to release the pressure on mineral oils (a nonrenewable resource), the scientists have discovered some potential plant species from which liquid hydrocarbons can be extracted. The liquid hydrocarbons present in such plants can be converted in to petroleum.
Such plants are known as petro plants which belong to families Apocynaceae, Ascalepiadaceae, Euphrobiaceae; Convolvulaceae and Spontaceae. Still research is on to increase the biomass of the petro plants and effective method of converting their hydrocarbons in petroleum.
Bagggasse is generated as a waste product in sugar mills. This can be utilised to produce electrical energy. As per available data, the sugar mills in India can generate about 2000 mW surplus electricity during crushing season.
Sewage and solid municipal wastes can also generate energy on their suitable treatments.

7 Needs Work Should Fulfill
May 20, 2019 | Books & Authors, Leadership
Make Work Great
Leaders recognize that organizations are great because of the people working in them. Knowing that people make or break a company is one reason leaders are constantly trying to improve company culture.
Moe Carrick's new book, Bravespace Workplace: Making Your Company Fit for Human Life, recognizes the importance of people so much that the dedication at the very front of it is "dedicated to workers everywhere. You are the heart of it all, and it's what you do every day that makes your company great." How very true that is, and how incredible for Moe to recognize it even before page one.
"If only my manager thought that way," you may be thinking or even, "Would it be too obvious for me to buy a copy for my manager?"
Moe addresses some important issues as she advocates for people, for culture development, and for thriving organizations in the midst of rapid change. I reached out to her to talk about her work.
"Creating the kind of workplace that is actually fit for human life goes way beyond mere happiness." –Moe Carrick
Make it a Bravespace
What does a bravespace workspace look like?
Most simply, I define a bravespace workplace as one where people can show up as they are, both perfect and flawed, and do great things together. Bravespace workplaces activate, enliven, and tenderly support the complex humans that we are so that we can bring all of ourselves to work every day. This means that an organization designs itself, trains its people leaders, and runs day-to-day processes so that the people who work there (any company's greatest asset!) can bring their highest and best skills to work every day. People sometimes over-simplify what I am saying as "a workplace where people are happy" but let's face it, an ice cream cone can make me happy! Creating the kind of workplace that is actually fit for human life goes way beyond mere happiness.
"Brave doesn't always involve grand gestures." -Shauna Niequist
You spend some time talking about AI, machines, robots, and technology. What are a few things people should know when contemplating the world of work in the future?
I reference this awesome Isaac Asimov quote in the Chapter, AI, Machines, Robots, Oh My! and that is, "In a properly automated and educated world, then, machines may prove to be the main humanizing influence. It may be that machines do all the work that makes life possible and human beings will do all the things that make life pleasant and worthwhile." Isn't that a great sentiment?
Machines, big data, automation, etc. are not going anywhere; in fact, they continue to proliferate in our daily lives at home and work. But there are things that technology simply cannot do…really any job requiring human connection, inspiration, collaboration, leadership, trust, creativity, and intuition. In bravespace workplaces of tomorrow, people won't simply be replaced with machines; instead robots, AI, and technology will be leveraged to activate the best possible decision-making and partnerships of the people who work in them. We humans need to work for a whole host of reasons: to give our lives purpose, to grow and learn, to make our lives work, to connect with other people, to co-create, to build, and more. Machines, AI, robots, and big data can and should activate us to work in those unique areas that only we can contribute, and to leave everything else to machines, AI and robots.
"To define is to limit." -Oscar Wilde
The Toxic Workplace
Contrast this with a toxic workplace. What immediately signals that this is not a healthy environment to you?
There are a whole host of things that tip me off to a toxic workplace. At the center is a leader who is bad for people. Period. We experience work, and our organization, primarily through our immediate boss. This is the first thing I look for when I am brought in to a company: how is leadership showing up? In addition, I pay attention to the boundaries in place at the company around time–do they have any? Do leaders model healthy boundaries on their lives while also being flexible? Is there time to think? I also look for inclusion, which transcends a basic focus on having a diverse workforce into really activating the best that the differences between people bring to the work. When inclusion exists, we see more health, more creativity, more healthy risks, and more trust. And finally, I tune in to whether people can tell each other the hard things. Surface harmony and politeness are a harbinger usually for backchanneling, gossip, and a failure to give feedback straight up.
"Remember that it all made sense at the time." -Moe Carrick
You go so far as to say, "most workplaces are unfit for human life." Tell us why that is. How did we get here?
In my mind, it has been a slow but steady process. Decades of business ethics that have kept emotions out of the workplace have resulted in feelings leaking out in inappropriate (and often devastating) ways which has led to stress-related illnesses and absenteeism, as well as under-engaged employees bring mere fractions of their best work. In addition, I think our relentless focus on profit as the only North Star for business has resulted in a diminishment of value on other essential dimensions of organizational health such as employee well-being, team cohesion, social and environmental impact and more. Somewhere along the line we have degraded our thinking about people as commodities it seems, rather than the unique, complex (and messy) humans that we are. It is not too late to change, though, which requires us to go beyond the surface elements of workplace health such as perks and compensation wars.
"Indifference towards people and the reality in which they live is actually the one and only cardinal sin in design." -Dieter Rams
What are some characteristics of the bravespace workplace leader?
This is easy! First and foremost, they are real. Period. End. Stop. But this dimension of leadership is actually the hardest ever because for decades we have studied and described leadership as being iconically heroic, which is definitely not real in the very human ways that matter. For me, this means that bravespace workplace leaders walk their talk and model what they say they value. They name the ugly, scary, and hard rather than pretending it doesn't exist. They go first, even when there are no guarantees. These leaders remember that "it all made sense at the time," and they don't wallow in regret or failure. They use self-compassion as evidence of the real empathy they bring to everyone they work with. And finally, these leaders own their sh**. Most of us come to work with one thing in mind: we want to do a good job and be seen as worthy. It is up to leaders to manifest this feeling in employees. No pressure, right?
1: To meet our basic requirements
2: To contribute
3: To be seen
4: To connect
5: To learn
6: To feel supported
7: To make our lives work
Find Meaning and Context
What do you say to help people find meaning and context in their work?
In the book I identify seven things that we all need from work. Two of these center on meaning and context. The first is our essential need to contribute, which I define as doing something that matters to someone. This doesn't have to be a high and mighty social mission or cause. It can be as simple as knowing how the job we do today matters to someone somewhere. The second is to feel supported, which I define as being able to be brave even when there are risks (duh, always!). It is in this support that we find the room to innovate, create, design, provoke, challenge, and grow. What my research has discovered is that we can find meaning in an almost unlimited real WHY of whatever it is that we are doing, and then having someone who will notice when we do it or do it well.
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate action of its members." -Coretta Scott King
