TM Bharati Ramineni, Hyderabad Toastmasters Hello Team! Appreciate your efforts in bringing out such an interesting newsletter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Especially about Milind Soman and the cover story ( I'm a big fan of Aditya :-) . It helps to know that behind their success there is courage, planning and hard work. Wish you all the best! TM Pritpal Kaur, Palava Toastmasters Club, Mumbai (yet to charter) I thank you for sharing this article. DTM Aditya M is indeed an inspiration for budding toastmasters like me. His vision to use public speaking as a platform to inspire people to find their potential is commendable and I wish him all the success in this. This article has encouraged me to find my style for public speaking and not just copy paste what other great leaders do. His take on keeping his speeches simple and not sensational is very wise. Indeed, Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication.
TM Rajiv Vassanji, Amdavad Toastmasters Club Very inspiring article which demonstrates the true power of faith and believing in your abilities when others don't. Well edited, thoughtful questions, succinct answers, and above all a relevant topic Being entrepreneur and keeping social purpose in mind. TM Kumar, Palava Toastmasters Club, Mumbai (yet to charter) Milind Soman, the ageless Greek God of fitness, continues to inspire many of us to take care of self and the community as a whole, leading by example and through various initiatives such as those mentioned in your article. A truly passionate person need not look for any support or backing, it follows wherever they choose to lead is demonstrated by milind in this article. May you run many marathons in the pink of health.. Thank you Soman thank you So much.
TM Vinay Prabhu Mhambre, Mapusa Toastmasters, Goa Lowell.... a good friend ... very good human... and the best speaker.... you are the motivation for most of us... I still remember the warmth you showed on the first day I came for the Toastmasters meeting and your passion for Toastmasters.... I am proud of being in the same club as you... and yes for rest of you all... Lowell has been our Area Champion at the humorous speech contest and the first runner up at the Division Level... Keep speaking and keep motivating TM Mayuri Assudani, Nagpur Toastmasters Club TM Lowell, more power to you and kudos to your club members who encouraged you at every step. Recently at the Absolutely Toasted Toastmasters Club in Vancouver, I saw the same kind of encouragement and appreciation for a young man who too stuttered and stammered. But I saw his confidence level during speeches, as TMOD and as Topics Master. Needless to say, the Toastmasters Club is that one place where one is never discriminated but rather is pushed to do the best to one's ability. All the best for your future projects!
23 WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
District 98 may only be three years old, but we've grown rather fond of our conferences. They represent the epitome of the skills we celebrate in Toastmasters. Contestants battle it out to be crowned public speaking champions while leaders are made in making it all happen. Confluence, our semi-annual District conference, has always been my special favourite. Kicked-off from Hyderabad in 2015, Confluence brought with it all the creativity of a newly minted District, unveiling a mascot (go Toastie!), slick PR slogans, and a unique un-conferencing concept. The conference moved to Goa in 2016, where the hospitality, enchanting venue, and the charm of surf and turf enamoured us all. Now, as TI makes a decision to discontinue this beloved gathering of kindred spirits, the swan song of Confluence will be at Indore in 2017. What a conference feels like lies entirely in the hands of the convener. This is the person who sets the vision and leads the team to execute it. We catch up with TM Raunak Kulwal, Division B Director and convener for Confluence 2017, for a look behind the scenes.
Organizing or event management comes very naturally to me. I got the skill from my family because when it comes to hosting things, we always want to outshine others. The dream of hosting a conference came to me when I attended Orations 2015 in Mumbai. I loved the entire experience and I thought to myself, this is how an event should be done. The persona of the convener really motivated me and I could never have imagined I would be in his place.
In 2016, the venue was fixed for Indore but at the last moment, the venue was changed to Goa. We Indoris are very emotional people and it hurt me that because of certain challenges we could not take the conference to my home city. However, these challenges made me strong and determined. During the District Council Meeting in Goa, I stood up and told the members that I wanted to host Confluence 2017 at Indore and my bid was accepted.
The vision behind this Confluence is to have a District level conference in a Tier-2 city. We have seen the trend to host such conferences in big cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Pune. The District has for the first time given the opportunity to host in Indore. Coming to the theme, every city has its own lingo and way of talking. For people in Indore, this term is used to denote high praise, something that is above awesome or beyond amazing. When you go around the city, you will hear this phrase said a lot and that is how we first got the idea to do a theme around the city's lingo. Our aim is to provide an amazing experience for all members. All the delegates who are coming here should have that experience and go back and say that this was the greatest conference they attended. Everything about the conference – food, conference, accommodation, experience, we are planning an ekNumber! thing!
First, I work and live in Mumbai so I have to travel frequently to meet the teams. Also, we have only 2 clubs in the city as of now and even though they have great enthusiasm, the membership strength is less. Each member has to work for multiple committees. When we got the opportunity to host, for the first time we got double-digit registrations from Indore to attend the Eloquence Mumbai 2017 to see the conference. People came to see how a District conference is conducted and take those learnings back with them. It can take a toll on me sometimes because I have to guide the teams through and through about their roles and responsibilities.
COVER STORY TEAM INDORE amazing platform which has been helping me personally for the last 3+ years and I want to show Indore that same thing. We are coordinating with various colleges and companies in Indore. We are not looking to get anything from them. We just want them to come to the conference and see what Toastmasters is and what value it can bring to them.
There are a couple of things we are working on. The Sarafa food market in Indore is quite famous. Our idea is to have some unique experience, not following anything that any other conference has done. On the night of the 24th, we are planning to take the members on a Sarafa night walk. We are also thinking about taking a Heritage tour of the city. Coming to the entertainment segment, there will be something unique, not in the traditional way it is done at conferences. The people of Indore are famous for their love, warmth, and hospitality. Even keeping the theme aside, we want to welcome all members as our guests. Whenever they remember Confluence 2017, we want them to remember this hospitality. Edited and compiled by Karan Take a moment to give us feedback for this article, or the issue HERE.

Yes, all Toastmasters are entitled to free and fair contests. The Speech Contest rulebook and the general District guidelines help us achieve that to the best possible level for any contest. The alignment of clubs to different areas is not done based on how many contestants the clubs would generate, but on the basis how best the District can help support the clubs to conduct quality and productive club meetings. In the above-mentioned example, the absence or number of other contestants does not affect the result. It is the presence of a well prepared and well-performing contestant that drives the result. Contest formats in Toastmasters are framed based on the best possible solution given the number of constraints related to administration, geography, interest, and reception of the program. You may be right in saying that if you are in a less numbered pool, your chances of winning are high. But who can decide before the contest that the less numbered pool is easy and the higher number pool is difficult? In the less number pool, you may have the next District Champion, while the pool having the maximum numbers may have everybody except one being disqualified or not competent enough. So as a contestant we should all be worried about one thing - "Content is the KING" and focus on preparing the contest and deliver it like a King, irrespective of however many number of contestants you may face.

consult 300+ entrepreneurs. In one instance, I was able to increase the turnover of a company from 30 crores to 300 crores through my expertise. I was now very sure about my vision and goals. I decided to quit my job and plunge into entrepreneurship. This was not easy though. The company did not accept my resignation seeing my performance and promised to promote me even higher. Now the fire in my belly had risen to another level, nothing could stop my wings and I finally quit after submitting resignation five times. Right now, I am working as a Virtual CEO with four companies out of which one is incurring huge losses. Turning them around requires tough practical decisions. Saying bye to old employees to promote fresh ideas and young leaders for company's benefit is difficult. The experience has taught me a good amount of emotional intelligence. My vision is to own 400 companies worldwide in different sectors. Right now, I am a partner in "The DK Academy" and own a kiosk in PVR. A bakery and organic farming will find their inception soon. My mission is to generate future leaders across the nation through these 400 companies. I am a day-dreamer and dreams never let me sit idle. I believe that amount of risk taken is directly proportional to confidence. A message to the young, talented, and enthusiastic leaders: "Dream the unseen, walk the unknown and achieve the miracle. The future you see is the future you get." Edited and compiled by Malvi Take a moment to give us feedback for this article, or the issue HERE. You might get published in Letters to the Editor!
channel. Record speeches that can be used for future reference. Publicize the meeting within your organization or community.
Learn to improve - Consider your meeting role as a chance to improve and help the speakers. Consider yourself a friend and guide to help them. As an Ah Counter, observe more keenly, or as a Table Topics Master, improvise different ways of conducting Table Topics. Inviting Guests - Your guests are first-timers, who have shown an interest in your club. Make them feel special and clarify any doubts they may have. Make sure you take their details and duly invite them for all Toastmaster programs happening in and around the city. Fellowship - Do not just come to a meeting and disperse. Meet members over tea or lunch. Have regular club outings and meetings at offbeat sites. Try to bond and create a friendly and positive environment. Inform about future meetings - At the end of a meeting, ensure that everyone is informed about the next meeting and invite role players there itself. Also, invite both members and guests for District events and encourage them to visit other club meetings. Conclusion - Conclusion of the meeting is key! Assess each speaker, understand the pattern of mistakes the speaker repeats and advise accordingly. Ask for feedback, check what worked, what did not. Work on the feedback, maintain a feedback register and make sure that everything is noted. These are just a few ways of having an effective meeting. If we all focus on the "The Main Thing" we will find ways to make it interesting so that we have successful meetings in our club and half of our problems will be solved. Let's all pledge today that we shall set aside at least 30 minutes in our EC meetings to discuss the past and the future of our club meetings. Let's all pledge to talk about a wonderful speech we heard, an effective evaluation, or an efficient role player. Let's all pledge once again to recognize and promote the culture of having the best Toastmasters Meetings in our District.

"Evaluations and competitions help you beat the worst and bring out the best within you!" This is the story of how I realized it. "Mom, it's good you lost the contest!" my elder son Stefan softly whispered into my ears as we travelled back from the Division Table Topics Speech Contest at Hyderabad this year. Actually, I was expecting him to congratulate me for doing so well and reaching that level of the competition. So what my son said did not go down well with me for some time. But then the words that followed cleared everything for me. "Mom, all this while, you have been in a secure world of admiration from your students and are used to their applause and appreciation. This gives you little scope to discover your areas of improvement and you remain complacent! Now you need to outgrow yourself and challenge your comfort zone." I introspected and since then, have learnt to break the stereotypical teacher's image. For this, I am thankful to evaluations in Toastmasters. Evaluations are value additions because you are instructed to continuously improve. Prior to joining Toastmasters in September 2016, I had been running an English Communication and Soft Skills training academy in Nagpur city for more than 25 years. I was always on one side of the table evaluating and training my students from all walks of life. But in Toastmasters, the tables were turned. Here, I was being evaluated as a speaker. My evaluators advised me to experiment with my voice and use different varieties and intonations while speaking. They asked me to fine tune the magic in my voice.
which adds a punch to my speech. Playing a dual role of teacher and connector, a mentor can offer their skills and expertise, introduce you to a talent that can fuel your domain and help you get closer to your target audience. My mentor willingly shared her network with me, taking me to events and making introductions that led to many opportunities I would not have otherwise had. Mentors have the experience you can learn from. Manisha made sure I never repeated her mistakes. She was one of the first Toastmasters from our club who completed her CC, CL, and ALB. Even though she is not an active member these days, she still remains my mentor, my saviour, and my go-to person. Having a mentor is not a sign of weakness. It shows you are smart and driven enough to succeed. I feel fortunate to have had this experience and am now in a position to return the favour to others that are just starting out.

before my swim, there were a lot of people from all over the world. I interacted with them, exchanging ideas and learnings for my upcoming swimming challenge. And even though swimming is an individual thing, you need interaction to prepare for the journey, both before and after. Swimming transformed me. It made me more disciplined and a better planner. However, it was Toastmasters that taught me no matter how painful things are, good things are always painful. Initially, Toastmasters was painful for me. I wasn't a good speaker and so on. But it taught me a lot and I grew as a person and I stuck with it. I applied the learnings from Toastmasters to swimming, setting small goals and gradually getting to the bigger ones. You can always find a connection, a learning in whatever you do. If I were to sum up my learning in one line it would be to "Enjoy the Journey!" Because when you are enjoying something, you put in your maximum effort without realizing it. Success is not something easy, you have to work hard for it. Reflecting back, even Toastmasters is the same. I wouldn't have reached this far if I had quit. Swimming the English Channel was a lonely journey filled with painful hardships. I was alone for 15 hours and 19 mins in the dreadful, cold windy sea. But it made me a humble person, it made me appreciate things and appreciate myself.

BEING PATIENT WILL TAKE YOU PLACES DTM NITEASH AGARWAAL, DISTRICT PR MANAGER, DISTRICT 98 After a lot of hesitation, I joined Toastmasters in 2011. I was blown away by the first meeting. I was excited to speak and take advantage of the opportunity to stand on stage and be seen by leaders of my company. My Ice-Breaker speech was not good enough to be remembered, but the encouraging words by my Site Leader motivated me to discover myself in Toastmasters. Being a Leo sun sign and of the millennial generation, I wanted everything to happen instantly in my career. I had been appreciated for my work repeatedly which sowed an aspiration in my mind to become a Team Leader. It was just 3 years into my career when, in my chat with the Site Leader, I discussed my career aspirations and how quickly I would like to get into the management. The advice he gave me was that I was too young and being patient will take me to places in my career as there is a lot to learn. While I never understood the depth of it but Toastmasters made me understand it. I have served at Toastmasters over the years from a Club Officer to now as a District Public Relations Manager and maybe as a Trio member in future. One thing I realized was how quickly I was able to climb the ladder of leadership something I always wanted to happen with my professional career. But if you ask me today, I feel it would have been better had I slowed down. It's like a 'Been there, done that' feeling. This is when I was reminded of those words by my Site Leader 'Being patient will take you places'.
I see that today, the average age of a Toastmaster is around 45 across the world. But in India, it's 25-35 and moving towards 20-30. While it's a good sign of people learning public skills and experiencing leadership at such a young age, it's also impacting the organization as we are seeing an influx of immature leaders who are reaching to the top serving positions so quickly that it's affecting the functioning of Toastmasters. Also, it is leading to an expectation gap between these generations as their ideology towards looking at one subject is so different. Whereas on one side, we see experienced leaders believing in 'Slow and steady wins the race', younger leaders believe in 'instant implementation without thought' which has the following problems: > Damage due to their decisions is irreversible > Lack of commitment > Keeping bad company > Blaming others Overall, I am happy to have experienced so much in Toastmasters but the thought of slowing down should a person get into a leadership position quickly always keeps me wondering.

Senior Samantha Whalen helped lead the Chapman softball team to a perfect 4-0 week as the Panthers swept Cal Lutheran on Wednesday afternoon and Whittier on Saturday afternoon. Whalen took care of business in the box, in the circle and in the field as Chapman stayed in third place in the SCIAC standings.
The Livermore native hit .500 with eight RBIs and five runs scored. Two of her six hits were extra base hits, including a two-RBI double in the first game against Cal Lutheran and an inside-the-park home run against Cal Lutheran in the night cap. The captain drew two walks and did not strikeout once in her 12 at-bats, earning an ops of 1.517.
Whalen also did work in the circle for the Panthers, pitching a complete game as Chapman beat Whittier 5-2 in the first game on Saturday. She allowed just five hits and two runs while striking out one to earn her second win of the season. Whalen also played first and third base this week, tallying 12 assists and 12 putouts to cap off a huge week for Chapman.

Q: Rearranging Email Folders in Evolution In the Evolution email client, all of my folders in my email account are organized alphabetically by default. The same goes for my search folders. Is there a way to rearrange the folders? There's a specific order in which I like to keep them.
Thanks in advance to the community for their help!

A: Email accounts can be organized by navigating to Edit → Preferences → Mail Accounts. From this view the email accounts can be dragged and dropped to reorder them.
I have managed to sort folders before, but I don't remember how and I'm unable to find an option to do so at this point.
Edit
Folders can be edited by adding a Sort property to ~/.config/evolution/mail/folder-tweaks.ini.
For example:
[folder://0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/INBOX]
Sort=1

[folder://0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/GitHub]
Sort=2

[folder://0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/GitLab]
Sort=3

The order of sections doesn't matter, but they can be rearranged to match your sorting order.

SpikeSource CEO Kim Polese sees hosted 'social stack' as the ticket for some
Two years ago, just weeks before SpikeSource officially exited its beta phase, I had a chance to podcast an interview with the company's CEO Kim Polese from Esther Dyson's PC Forum.
By David Berlind for Berlind's Testbed | June 20, 2007 -- 16:30 GMT (09:30 PDT) | Topic: Enterprise Software
Two years ago, just weeks before SpikeSource officially exited its beta phase, I had a chance to podcast an interview with the company's CEO Kim Polese from Esther Dyson's PC Forum. Back then, the company's portfolio/business model mainly involved (1) the provisioning and maintenance of guaranteed-to-work open source stacks of software and (2) a certification and testing service for open source solution providers who needed to assure their customers that their applications would play nice when thrown under a server's hood with other open source code.
For businesses turning to open source, SpikeSource was a single throat to choke. Behind the scenes, SpikeSource developed intelligence on what versions of what solutions worked well with what versions of other solutions (as well as on Linux) and from that point forward, would take charge of keeping an end user's open source stack of software up to snuff.
After validating that businesses like the idea of having a single throat to choke, SpikeSource eventually launched SuiteTwo. SuiteTwo is yet another suite of open source software, but primarly for those who want to reap the benefits of social software like blogs, wikis, and RSS from inside their own firewalls. SuiteTwo's original entree into the market involved a stack of social software including Moveable Type (blogging) and SocialText (wikis) that SpikeSource delivered to its customers in the form of an Intel-based appliance, and then, much the same way it was maintaining other stacks of software for other customers, SpikeSource assumed the responsibility for keeping those appliances as up-to-date as it could (in other words, so long as some new version of Moveable Type proved itself not to hose the current version of SocialText, SpikeSource would send an update the appliances).
But with the increasing popularity of hosted services as an approach to IT (eg: Salesforce.com vs. an on premises salesforce automation solution), SpikeSource decided to take the same stack it was offering in an appliance form, and offer it as a hosted service as well. Whereas it cost about $10,000 to take delivery of the appliance and the associated service, Polese told me that hosted version of the same stack will start at around $50 per user per year. Whereas there's a break-even point where the appliance may make more sense for certain sized companies, Polese told me in the video above that shes the hosted version as being ideal for smaller enterprises that don't have an IT staff.
Starting with a refresher on what SpikeSource does and this week's announcement of the hosted version of SuiteTwo, we covered a wide range of topics that included the patent challenges facing the open source community and what it will take to get more women involve in technology and science-based entrepreneurialism.

Part of Manhattan plunged into darkness, utility says restoring power
by Eula Weaver	- at July 14, 2019
The New York City Fire Department said the cause of the outages, which have left more than 45,000 Con Edison customers without power, was a transformer fire which started at West 64th Street and West End Avenue.
"We are responding to extensive outages on the Westside of Manhattan", Con Ed said in a tweet.
The scene in Manhattan was one of confusion on Saturday evening, after the lights flickered off at around 7:20pm in Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, and large parts of the Upper West Side.
The electricity cuts come on the anniversary of a massive power failure in 1977 that plunged the NY skyline into darkness and triggered widespread looting and arson.
Power was out in much of Rockefeller Center. "That's what we noticed first", she said.
Officials with Con Edison later tweeted that they were working to restore electricity to customers and businesses primarily on Manhattan's Upper West Side. We will continue to provide updates as soon as we have more information.

BRL-CAD uses simple material properties, presently limited to density, for calculating weights, moments of inertia and other geometric analyses. There is presently no centralized repository for specifying material properties, so users have to recreate and manually share inputs.
This website would provide a comprehensive means for specifying, storing, importing, export, and reusing material properties. If you're interested in this web development idea, there is prior proof-of-concept web work of relevance that can be built upon or you could start from scratch. The latter approach from scratch would be somewhat discouraged unless your implementation idea was vastly different and better.
We have a preliminary material database dataset with all of the fields we're interested in (name, density, young's modulus, equivalence factors, etc).

The view from Clondalkin: If Sinn Féin don't get in, 'there will be marches'
The last thing many voters in west Dublin want to see is a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil coalition

There will be protests on the streets if Sinn Féin and the left are not in the next Government, says Jacqueline Colgan (47), a community employment (CE) participant in Ronanstown, west Dublin.
Election 2020 was the first she took "a big interest in . . . Everyone in this area was really serious about it, asking if you were registered to vote. It was like 'shame on you' if you weren't registered."
And there was a "feeling of Christmas" as results came the day after the election showing spectacular returns for Sinn Féin, she told The Irish Times this week, as politicians began to gather in Leinster House.
Sitting in Rowlagh Community Centre, her CE supervisor Grace Wills (61) agrees.
"We're not all traditional Sinn Féin voters at all. I think a lot of us would have looked to Labour back in the day. But we've had to say to the old guard, they are not fit to govern. People felt by voting Sinn Féin things might change."
That just proves what it means to him – the passion, the drive, the love he has for working for people and change
Anthony Rochford (27), also a CE participant, says in the past he "didn't really have any interest in politics. I felt it was the same cycle, same thing and nothing was going to change." Like all his friends, he lives with his parents and sees no prospect of affording even to rent his own home. "I realised how important it was to vote to get change."
In Ronanstown Youth Services, too, first-time voters chose Sinn Féin and People Before Profit (PBP), citing the housing crisis and inadequacy of student grants as issues. Rebecca O'Reilly (22) beams as she recalls the tears of relief shed by Gino Kenny (PBP) when he took the fourth seat without reaching the quota.
"That just proves what it means to him – the passion, the drive, the love he has for working for people and change."

North Clondalkin lies within the four-seat Dublin Mid-West constituency, one one of the most disadvantaged parts of the State. In terms of political engagement, however, it is transformed. And it did not begin this year.
In 2002, just 37.3 per cent of people in North Clondalkin voted, compared to 52 per cent elsewhere in the constituency and 62 per cent nationally. By 2016, the North Clondalkin turnout had jumped to 55.9 per cent locally – a 50 per cent increase.
On February 8th, it rose again, according to local polling station returns, to 59.7 per cent – just shy of the constituency's 61.6 per cent and almost at the nation's 62.9 per cent.

And Sinn Féin's vote was spectacular. A combined parties' tally of first preferences from the four Ronanstown polling stations – St Bernadette's National School, Rowlagh NS, St Peter the Apostle NS and Divine Mercy senior NS – show the party's Mark Ward and Eoin Ó Broin hoovering up 69.25 per cent of first preferences.
'Very emotional'
Gino Kenny (PBP) took 11.5 per cent of local first preferences. Emer Higgins of Fine Gael, the fourth TD, took 1.6 per cent here.
"I am very emotional about this election," says Colgan. "Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, they have destroyed our country. I have family members who have committed suicide. I know five people over the last couple of months who have tried to kill themselves and it's down to the Government.
"I have a grown son aged 30 living with me in the box room. My daughter, she has a degree in social care and shares a bed in my house with her five-year-old daughter. My other son, who has a great job, could never afford a house – even to rent. He rents a room in a house. I'm looking at people dying on the streets.
"I feel like people don't have hope anymore, and it's only going to get worse if they aren't going to give Sinn Féin a chance. We want Sinn Féin in government. OK, we might have to go in with Fianna Fáil but we would see changes."
"Bernie" (64, not her real name), a former Labour voter, hesitated before voting Sinn Féin, "because of their past", but decided it was "the only option". Her daughter and two grandsons, aged 22 and 18, have been living with her since 2017 after the landlord needed the house they had rented for nine years for his sister.
Pull-out bed
Her daughter sleeps on the couch while her grandsons take turns sleeping on a pull-out bed in a box room and on the floor by the couch. "The whole family voted Sinn Féin. When the counts were coming in I just thought, 'Okay, they haven't enough to go into government, but maybe they'll go in with Fianna Fáil. I was very excited to think, maybe now."
They sniggered all the way through those debates at Mary Lou, but really they're sniggering at us
The vote cannot be "dismissed", says Wills, as a protest or youth vote. "All generations voted for Sinn Féin. It wasn't a protest vote. It was a 'hope vote'. Please give us some hope."
Fear, and anger, is growing, however, that a left Government will not be formed.
"In my heart I know they [Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil] have already decided they're going back in," says Colgan. "People like us, we are just bugs to them. They sniggered all the way through those debates at Mary Lou, but really they're sniggering at us.
"They say Sinn Féin are not fit to govern? There will be marches. I am not accepting Leo [Varadkar] or Micheál [Martin] as Taoiseach. I couldn't cope. No, there will be protests."
Bernie agrees, saying: "I would go out and march."

« A Siege of Elegant Brutality
Stripping for Tantalizing Tampa »
Carousel of Desire
August 12th, 2012 | Author: davidrwalker
From the Brazilian Director Fernando Meirelles whose previous films include the Oscar-winning adaptation of the John le Carre novel, The Constant Gardner and the highly acclaimed City of God, comes his latest film Three Sixty collaborating with Oscar winning scriptwriter Peter Morgan (The Queen) who deftly interweaves a complex narrative tapestry focusing on humanity's ever spinning carousel of desires connecting each character around the world. Three Sixty premiered at the 2011 London International Film Festival and the 2012 Durban International Film Festival and is a brilliant virtuoso look at how humanity is connected through love, weakness, temptation and sex.
Three Sixty features an international cast and is a series of interconnected character studies set in Vienna, Bratislava, Paris, London, Denver and Phoenix and includes wonderful yet brief performances by Rachel Wiesz, who garnered an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Constant Gardner, Jude Law, Ben Foster, Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Secrets and Lies) and Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins as well as a host of lesser known Eastern European, Brazilian and French stars.
Three Sixty is a thought-provoking look at how sexual desire traverses all geographical boundaries while love, temptation, blackmail and infidelity abound around the globe connecting all nationalities, cultures and religions. Watch out for a wonderful performance by Anthony Hopkins as a recovering alcoholic searching for his missing daughter in Phoenix, Arizona or Jude Law as a less than proper British business man Michael Daly being caught in a web of blackmail in Vienna and Rachel Wiesz as his wife Rose who is far from faithful back in London.
The real star of the film is Ben Foster in a superb cameo as a shaven-head ex-con Tyler, recently paroled sex offender stranded in the snowbound Denver International Airport en route to Phoenix struggling with his inner demons. Russian actor Vladimir Vdovichenkov makes an impression playing Sergei a Russian gangster's driver willing to make a break from an abusive boss and escape with an innocent woman. Three-Sixty is in German, French, Portuguese and English but is a spell bounding portrayal of humanity traveling around the globe and taking all their urges, desires and ambitions with them, a surprising sexual thriller by one of international cinema's more enigmatic and brilliant directors. Recommended as a thought-provoking film and will surely make any viewer want to hop on a plane to an exotic city and escape, transfer or express one's own forbidden sexual desires…

There are a number of ways that music streaming services can set themselves apart from one another. This can be done through price, the size of their catalogue, and also exclusives. However Tidal seems to be going one step further and that is through features where they will now allow users to edit song length and tempo.
Dubbed "Track Edit", this feature is basically what its name suggests. Users who feel that certain songs could do without a lengthy intro or could be faster can now edit these songs and save the edited versions to a playlist. While the average music listener might not have much use for it, it might be useful for DJs looking to mix some songs.
It could also be useful for people who want to use certain songs for certain activities, such as sports or exercise where they can adjust a song's tempo and length to ensure that only the high energy parts are there. Users will also have the ability to make changes on how a song fades in our out, so if you don't like any gaps between tracks, this is one way to go about it.
Unfortunately these are the only details available at the moment as Tidal has not mentioned anything more, or when it will be made available to its users, but hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

Tesla's falling stock price could come back to haunt the company. Tesla is burning through cash to build expensive plants and cars, but it badly needs that money to pay about $1 billion in debt by February 2019. Most of that would convert to stock if Tesla's price holds above $360 — but that seems unlikely.

Richard Wayne Boyce
Richard Wayne Boyce, 74, passed away on Sunday, December 22nd in Suffolk, VA with his beloved wife JoAnn by his side. He was born in Norfolk, VA to Dasylin and Alma Boyce on October 30, 1945.
Richard grew up in Norfolk where at an early age he developed into a star athlete. He began playing basketball in the Norfolk Recreation League. He later excelled in 3 sports at Norview High School and was an exceptional basketball player at ODC (now ODU). After college graduation, Richard taught and coached basketball in Buckingham County and later at Deep Creek High School. He ultimately left teaching and enjoyed a successful career in sales management at various Tidewater dealerships.
Richard was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his devoted wife JoAnn, his son Bill (Dara Collins), his grandson Blake, stepson Brad (Jess), grandchildren Aiden and Baylee, brother Bill (Jorie), and nephews Scott (Rosalynn) Bill (Lyndsey) and several grand nieces and nephews.
Richard was a hard worker, and in his free time, he enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved traveling with JoAnn, spending time on his boat, and golfing. Richard was a huge fan and proud supporter of ODU sports and attended many basketball and baseball games. But most of all he, loved spending time with family and friends.
Services for Richard will be on Friday, January 3rd 2020 at Altmeyer Funeral Home, 5033 Rouse Drive Virginia Beach, VA 23462 at 2:00PM. The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM-2:00 PM.

So sorry to hear of Richard's passing. He was wonderful to work with. We spent great times and long hours in the car business. It's nice to know we'll have another guardian angel watching over us. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Richard, (and his brother Billy) were good friends through grade school, High School, and College; both very good people. Richard was one of the best basketball players ever to come out of Hampton Roads and the best perimeter shooter I have ever seen.

My friend, Richard Boyce. I have known Richard since playing baseball against him in the Norfolk Rec League. Being a teammate of his at Norview in football, basketball and baseball. It was a pleasure being a teammate to the best all around athlete I know. The best part, Richard was a good man, father and husband. Whenever we ran into each other, he treated me like his best friend. Rest in Peace Richard. Honored to be your friend and teammate.

So sorry to hear of Richard's passing. I enjoyed times spent with Richard while on the ODC (ODU) basketball team. I am so sorry for the family's loss and pray for comfort and peace during this most difficult time.
We appreciate all that Altmeyer Funeral Home provides to Beth Sholom Village.


Abby smiled. "Maybe, but I doubt there's a red tractor in every cow field," she said, pointing it out.
Becker swore. He missed his SatNav. Unfortunately, the SatNav was currently lost in an anomaly, whilst they were here, wherever 'here' was.
"I don't need to," Becker insisted.
*nods* Men indeed. Nice one.
No bloke in the world will admit to being lost!
hee! And considering he can get himself lost in a hospital, Becker clearly shouldn't be let out without his sat nav!
I should think that, after this, someone will buy him a new satnav.

Andrew Ross McMaster was born the 6 November 1876 in Montreal to Captain John Andrew McMaster and his wife, Amelia. He was educated at Montreal High School, Montreal Collegiate Institute, McGill University and the University of Edinburgh, graduating with a law degree. He was admitted to the Quebec bar in 1901 and eventually was appointed the King's Counsel in 1910. He also served as a school commissioner in Westmount. McMaster married Florence B. Walker (1877-1960) on 25 June 1902 and together they had 6 children: Frances Ross (1903-2002), Amelia Wilkes (1904-1990), Florence Walker (1906-1990), Margaret Mona (1908-1999), John Andrew (1911-1999), and Helen Leeming (b. 1916).
A.R. McMaster began his political in 1917, when he was elected as a Liberal to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Brome, a position he held until 1925. In 1929, McMaster entered provincial politics as he was appointed Provincial Treasurer for the Louis-Alexandre Taschereau government. Shortly thereafter, he ran for the Quebec Liberal Party in the riding of Compton in 1929, which he won. In 1930, McMaster resigned from cabinet. He passed away on 27 April 1937 in Westmount, Quebec and is buried at the Mount Royal Cemetery.
The fonds contains primary and secondary source information on the personal and political lives of Andrew Ross McMaster from 1912 to 1937, around 1983, and in 2005. It consists largely of scrapbooks containing correspondence and newspaper clippings. It also consists of a manuscript on the McMaster family history by Helen McMaster Paulin, written around 1983. The fonds is comprised of the following series: Professional Life (1912-1937, 2005), Personal Life ([1983?]).
Bindings of scrapbooks are fragile. Some newspapers flaking.
The fonds was donated by David M. Irvine, grandson of Andrew R. McMaster, in 2016.
The fonds was processed and described by Jazmine Aldrich, archival technician, in 2018 courtesy of funding received from Canadian Heritage.


Glasgow is well known for its nightlife, but it's also the friendliest city in the world as voted by readers of the Rough Guides series. So it's a perfect family destination! We live less than an hour away from Glasgow and spend plenty of time visiting the city to see some of the major child-friendly attractions. Many of the museums are also free, which is always a bonus!
Here are 10 Things to do in Glasgow with Kids as voted for by my kids and I!
Glasgow Science Centre. A full on fun and educational day out for the whole family. There are hundreds of interactive exhibits as well as a planetarium, science shows and an IMAX theatre. Make sure you get your car parking ticket validated at the reception desk to get a discount on parking.
Riverside Museum. This has to be my eldest's favourite place in Glasgow! The Riverside is a museum of transport (with free entry, donations welcomed), with a huge selection of trains, cars, fire engines, trams, motorbikes and so much more! There are plenty of interactive areas for children, including an old cobbled street with traditional style shops and the occasional thunder sound effect!
Tall Ship. Outside the Riverside Museum, on the River Clyde is the Tall Ship. It's also free to enter, but again donations are welcomed. Children can practise swabbing the deck, a surprisingly popular activity with little children! Ring the ships bell, test the fog horn, explore all the areas of the ship with interactive items and even a small soft play below deck.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Kelvingrove is a beautiful building set in a gorgeous parkland. The museum has everything from animals, art, Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibits and armour. A great place for an explore and picnic in the park!
The Lighthouse. I only found the Lighthouse very recently and can't wait to take my boys there. It was originally the Glasgow Herald's building (where my grandpa once worked!) and it was the first public commission by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. There are various exhibitions as you climb through the floors, but the best part is the view from the top of the original water tower where you can look out across the Glasgow roof tops. It's a fabulous view and just off the main shopping street!
People's Palace Museum. The People's Palace is located in Glasgow Green and houses a collection of objects, photos and film of how Glaswegians lived from the past to the present day. After a look around the museum you can also enjoy a wander in the winter gardens amongst palms and other exotic plants.
Scotland Street School. Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh the school was opened in 1906. It is now a museum telling the story of the past 100 years of education in Scotland. You can visit 3 historic classrooms and even dress up for the part!
Soar at Braehead. Away from the centre of the city children will love visiting Soar at Braehead where they can climb, ski, bowl, try crazy golf, attend a chocolate workshop and so much more.
Glasgow Climbing Centre. Here there are climbing routes for all ages and stages. You can hire equipment and even enjoy a family session so you can learn together.
Glasgow Green. The green is Glasgow's oldest parkland and has numerous paths winding through the park. There are children's play areas and frequent events on the green, check listings to see what's on.

Gonzalez, Strop react to Cubs' 6-3 win over Rockies
by Cole Little - Senior Writer - Wednesday, June 5, 2019, 3:26 AM
Following the Chicago Cubs' 6-3 win over the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, right fielder Carlos Gonzalez and relief pitcher Pedro Strop were interviewed in the Cubs' locker room. Both players proved to be impactful performers for the Cubs on the night, with Gonzalez collecting two RBI against his former team and Strop picking up the save in his return from an injury layoff.
"It was a weird thing, but it's part of the game," Gonzalez said when asked what it was like to play against a Colorado club that he was a part of for a decade. "When the game is on, you just try to focus on getting good at-bats and helping your team win."

Gonzalez has started in both of the games that he has been on the Cubs' roster for since being promoted from Triple-A on Monday morning, and he has already come through with several critical plays. The veteran outfielder is enjoying his time as a Cub so far and is excited to have the opportunity to suit up for a World Series contender.
"This is a great opportunity for me and a great challenge as a player," Gonzalez said about his newfound role with the Cubs. "This is a great franchise. We play meaningful games, and every game counts for us."

As for Strop, he did not miss a beat as he settled back into his position as the Cubs' closer, with the reliever sitting the Rockies down in order in the ninth to tally his fifth save and secure the victory. Strop missed approximately a month due to a hamstring injury and was only just activated from the injured list on Tuesday afternoon.
"It felt really good," Strop said while discussing his return to the mound. "At the beginning, I was a little rushed, with the adrenaline of the game taking it to another level. After that, I was able to execute."

Strop was asked about Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks' marvelous performance, in which he struck out 10 batters in seven innings of work and picked up the winning decision. Grinning from ear to ear, Strop dished out compliment after compliment pertaining to "The Professor" and was clearly happy to have witnessed him pitch at such a high level.
"He was amazing," Strop said of Hendricks. "He's always been fun to watch, with the way that he paints corners. I was happy to see him use more of his curveball, too. It was unbelievable."

The first Chilean virtual observatory fires up
RedCLARA (Latin America) , REUNA (Chile) ,
ChiVO, the first Chilean Virtual Observatory, and one of many virtual observatory projects underway around the world, was launched in April 2015. ChiVO is an astro-informatic platform for the administration and analysis of massive amounts of data coming from the observatories built across the country. The ALMA telescope, for example, located in the Andean highlands, is expected to generate around over one Terabyte of data per day.
CHiVO will provide advanced computing tools, storage and fast data transfer rates using research network infrastructure so that the Chilean astronomical community can optimize observation time. But it's not only astronomers who will benefit from CHiVO, students at schools across the country will also be able to access the data to learn about the universe.

Members of the Toyota Asian American Society in Alliance, known as TAASiA, greeted guests with big smiles Wednesday evening at an open house at Toyota headquarters in Plano.
They had reason to be happy: The society has grown to almost 500 multi-ethnic members since 2006 and has raised and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Beaming with pride, they gave tours of the sprawling, environmentally friendly campus. Guests networked while having wine and appetizers before they listened to a panel discussion, built a LEGO castle (a team-building exercise) and watched a trailer for the new film, Crazy Rich Asians.
TAASiA celebrates and advances the Asian and Pacific Islander community. Members gather regularly for cultural events, community service and networking. The group has given more than $355,000 to community groups and distributed more than $600,000 in college scholarships.
About 100 employees who run Asian ERGs at local corporations, such as American Airlines, Fidelity, AT&T and Capital One, came to the open house. These employee groups are becoming more common as companies try to build diverse workplaces.

Why I Want a Real Man
Photo: Michael Julian Berz
When my mother died under the wheels of truck in 2001, I was 39 and living a scripted life of wife and mother, a life where I never stopped to ask myself—am I happy?
I was expected to be content because I'd married my soulmate, birthed two beautiful children, lived a life of material ease in a waterfront home and my health was excellent. What more could I ask for?
Within a year of my mother's death, I was on a fast track to demolish a 15 year marriage by instigating a long-distance affair with a man I'd met (how cliche) online. Even as I knew that this man would not be my next-in-line, I dove heart-first into falling in love with a projection of my own yearning for wholeness.
The hole my mother left in her dramatic leaving was a bottomless need inside my fractured psyche for a Big Love. I wanted something or someone to sweep me off my feet and into a place of vulnerability and mutual acceptance. I wanted to feel safe sharing all of me, all of my sadness, anger and despair, with a beloved. And not just any beloved–but a powerful male who would lead me fearlessly from the chaos of my grief.
Ten years and several relationships later, I came to the shattering realization that love was never out there, waiting to be found. This search for the rescue of Big Love that drove me to a divorce and propelled me through seven love affairs, ended all at once on October 25, 2011 when overnight it became irrefutably evident that I am the very thing I sought. That every lover was me, loving myself and not loving myself.
I write this now because a recent article of mine on love at elephant journal went viral. A Call to the Sacred Masculine: Ten Daring Invitations from the Divine Feminine soared to 44,000 views and 12,000 Facebook likes in ten days. The piece also drew praise and condemnation from men, everything from "BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, and MOVING!" to a thanks for "spiritual bullshit that you spew all over everyone." In other words, the response itself was as polarized as North and South.
Yet A Call to the Sacred Masculine has clearly struck a collective nerve, reaching into the imaginations of men and women who yearn for a Bigger Love. But what most people have failed to see is that this article's real appeal is not romantic and stereotypical but archetypal and alchemical.
The call for a Sacred Masculine to meet a Divine Feminine is not about new rules for relating or a better marriage formula. Rather, it is about the union of opposites, the marriage of King Sol and Queen Luna, of heaven and earth, of the transcendant and the immanent.
The masculine current is not about manhood anymore than the feminine current is about womanhood. Yet fact is, we are embodied extensions of the formless in form. I have a vagina that receives. A man has a penis that penetrates. In a heterosexual union both partners have the capacity to access their penetrative and receptive natures, for the man at times to be soft and the woman to be hard.
But unless a woman is truly masculine at her core, most women truly desire a partner who will play the polarity game with her—yes, a man who will ravish (not rape) her every now and then, a man not afraid to lovingly take charge
By allowing the natural flow of masculine and feminine to tango, free of ideas and judgements of politically correct loving (or what author David Deida would call neutralized polarity) there arises a third element. A polarized union in which each partner allows the other to be fully man, fully woman, generates a current that comes from the dance of opposites.
This current is a fast flowing river that ultimately will wash both partners into the ocean of the Vast Self—a self free from masculine or feminine. A Self that underlies all form, from gender to species. Recognition of that One Self is the gift I receieved in the dance of polarity with a man who rode the river to the sea, with me.
So, on that note, don't be afraid to play the polarity game—ultimately all games end up at home base.

Duality has been such a gift from the divine. How can it be otherwise, when seeking sex to experience perfect union is an illusion, a form of unconscious masterbation with identity. Once you become whole, there's no need to seek it, you already are. Now I understand why Yogi's are celibate, how can you top nirvana, perfect cosmic bliss. Samsara is nirvana, duality is the path to oneness, the mundane is the sacred. Don't you love it when duality drops on it's own accord… and we all get to witness it! Thanks for sharing your awakened being.

Lori Ann, we truly appreciate learning of your liberating path. For Jeanne and I the path is different, but ending at the same awareness. We were married right out of high school. I believe few people thought the marriage would last. This year we celebrate 48 years together, have 5 wonderful children and ten equally wonderful and intelligent grandchildren. While being a life of rich, poor, sickness, health, etc., we had a common bond of humor and searching for the Truth. We didn't realize that "searching" meant we weren't aware that we already had the Truth with ourselves. Information came to us from so many sources and we had to choose what mattered to us. At different points we participated in the Charismatic Renewal, Marriage Encounters and even facilitated together the catholic church's Genesis 2 program for our parish. This program was soon ended by the church, perhaps because it was leading to the Truth? We also studied the Mystics, some of whom, as I previously noted, were eventually excommunicated from the church.
We eventually came to the understanding of our Oneness with the One, the I Am. Thoughts and "reality" still try to pull us back, but they are not successful . The dance is very important to us. (One of our favorite songs way back in neverland was "Lord of the Dance".)
Brilliantly composed insights into who it is that lives without conditions- final realization.
Thanks for sharing this. My former wife went through a somewhat similar thing years ago. For myself, it was only in an exemplifying person that relationship had a role in awakening. But relationship did have a key role in the awakening of what I'd call the divine heart that follows, apparently what you call the Big Love. That can be much more than you mention here.
I've also noted how women can exemplify the receptivity or surrender of the old necessary for all to awaken, and for what follows. In a way we could say that the process requires both the penetration of the illusion and the surrender to the reality. Knowing and being requires both the transcendent observer and immanence.
In India, there is of course the devotion to guru or God as a practised means. But there is another way, less commonly known in the west. It's called the upaguru, where ones mate is the mutual object of devotion and surrender. It's a profoundly deeper form of relationship, as you lightly touch on here.
lydiajaneyoga
thank you for your beautiful comments. it is helping me understand what lori wrote. i have my own journey with sacred masculine/feminine, as i was formally initiated into womanhood by a wonderful community of people that takes guidance from a living indigenous community. i believe bringing back indigenous understanding of sacred relationship, including the masculine and feminine, is absolutely essential in healing our world. the men must protect, respect and witness women and our wisdom, rhythm, and mystery. we must, in turn, trust, appreciate and believe in our men. i believe that is the beginning.
awarenessishere
Lydia, I agree!
Brad Henneman
Your two articles should be required reading for women who have become dissatisfied with that neutral polarity…often times this dynamic is a result of their own imbalanced masculine/feminine approaches to their relationship with their man…in a misguided effort to "have it all" many women have usurped their man's natural role of penetrator, and ravisher…like a friend of mine used to say…"Women, they castrate you, and then hate you for it"
singingflute1
Ah, yes! This touches the heart of it, but we're all on a journey and at different places on that journey, so this article will resonate for some while the last one may resonate more for others. By being afraid of the polarities, we live a neutered middle-ground that is missing the vital essence of life. How empowering, and liberating, it is when we have the opportunity to dance at one end of the spectrum while someone dances with us at the other end. Thanks, Lori.

Use the following trick to clear a height of 2.50 or more. Approach the bar at full speed or close to it, set your angle at around 53 to 60, and press Down immediately.
When the race starts, run full speed until you are about one fourth of the way into the first turn. Release Run, then press Run again when the stamina indicator is yellow. Then release Run and repeat. When you are nearing the straight-a-way release Run and allow the stamina indicator build up to full status. Then, run full speed until one fourth into the next turn and repeat this process. Note: Use only one button during the entire race(A), and your stamina bar will decrease a lot slower.


Guys, we need to make a push for recruiting. Right now, this forum basically looks like a decoration. Nobody uses it for anything. We need to get out there and grab peoples attentions. I'll try to start making videos for the The Pyro YouTube Channel but I'm still trying to get my own channel off the ground, so help is very appreciated. Maybe we could have a YouTube group? Of course that would have to wait until after we go out and recruit. We have put a lot of time and effort into making and setting up these forums, and I for one want to see them used, and not wasted. So guys, please for the love of god go out there and recruit some people!
Thanks in advance, Cloud TacoGuy.

Nord was vanaf de oprichting in 1947 lid van het hoofdbestuur van de Beweging van Europese federalisten (BEF). Hij werd een der secretarissen van de Europese Conferentie van Den Haag in 1948 en daarna voorzitter van de Nederlandse Europese Beweging (1958-1963).
Vanuit die positie werd hij in 1963 als opvolger van Frits de Nerée tot Babberich benoemd tot secretaris-generaal van het Europees Parlement (1963-1979).

In die positie heeft hij de toetreding van de Britten, het geboorteland van zijn moeder en zijn echtgenote, Denemarken en Ierland in goede banen geleid en samen met Cees Berkhouwer de directe verkiezingen voorbereid. Toen die eenmaal besloten waren heeft hij zich kandidaat gesteld en wist als lid (1979-1989) en ondervoorzitter van het Europees Parlement met enkele oude kompanen uit het verzet en de Europese Beweging in de zogenoemde 'Krokodilclub' de voorzet te geven voor de vrije interne markt van 1992.

In 1984 werd Hans Nord lijsttrekker voor de VVD in de tweede Europese verkiezingen. Bij zijn afscheid in 1989 werd hij benoemd tot erelid.

Trivia
Nord werd ook wel door collega's 'Mister Europe' genoemd.

Hans Nord was de broer van de journalist en schrijver Max Nord.
