Stony Brook University's oldest and most revered student newspaper, The Stony Brook Statesman, is turning 50 years old this fall. To celebrate, your fellow Statesman alumni invite you to the campus during Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 5 to 7, to catch up, reminisce and reflect on five decades of campus journalism.
The event will also mark the official opening of the long-awaited School of Journalism at Stony Brook. Statesman alumni will see how the new school is being designed for tomorrow's digital news gatherers. Attendees will get a V.I.P. tour of the school's newsroom of the future and will meet the school's first group of journalism majors and faculty. And they will meet the current editors of the paper and take a nostalgic look at the old newsroom in the basement of the student union.

I WAKE UP STREAMING 2020
I WAKE UP DREAMING
…I WAKE UP STREAMING?
Welcome to the first ever VIRTUAL, masterclass version of I WAKE UP DREAMING— the historic, annual San Francisco film noir festival, returning to The Roxie and being re-dubbed I WAKE UP STREAMING to help recognize this new way of mass engagement at the film noir level.
I WAKE UP STREAMING 2020 is designed to provide those of you who have missed the interesting human interaction that can often result from the types of film events once commonplace at the Roxie – a chance to revisit those experiences in the safety and comfort of your own digs. This series of masterclasses (which will consist of 6 open discussions amongst participants on the films in question) will hopefully remind those with a firm grip on the past, just how stimulating a well-seasoned double-bill of uncommonly choice film noir can be!
For six TUESDAY evenings (October 13 – November 24; no session on Election Night, November 3) the Roxie will host a 60-90 minute ZOOM session (starts at 7PM PST) with your host and curator, I Wake Up Dreaming's founder, Elliot Lavine. A pair of links will have been provided in advance to the two films that comprise that week's program, giving everyone at least a week to watch the films and think about how they might like to engage in a free-form ZOOM discussion about them! SIX UNBELIEVABLY SENSATIONAL NOIR FILMS DOUBLE FEATURES!! TWELVE GREAT FILMS! Think about it! Films you never tire of! People you probably haven't seen in a while might be there and you'll be able to hang out and chat with them! See old friends! Make new ones! Help the Roxie!
Class registration is sliding scale $5-$20 (proceeds directly support the Roxie) and free for Roxie Members. If you would like to access the whole series of discussions for free (plus many more exclusive perks), you can sign up for a Roxie Virtual Membership for $30 here. If you do not receive member ticketing information after signing up, please email [email protected]
What you get with your ticket: Each ticket grants you access to the Zoom discussion for 1 pair of films, as well as links to supplemental reading and materials. We will provide access to the film links one week in advance in order to encourage viewing closer to the discussion, however, the films can be found through public domain.
Please email [email protected] if you have any questions.
Tuesday, October 13th – Scarlet Street and Detour
Our first program will consist of SCARLET STREET (1945), Fritz Lang's unforgettable masterpiece of deception and desire starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea. 99 mins.
And DETOUR (also 1945), Edgar G. Ulmer's notorious "poverty row" masterpiece that for many serves as the very template for film noir. Doom, despair, death. Tom Neal and Ann Savage are the stars. 69 mins.
Tuesday, October 20th – HOLLOW TRIUMPH (1948) and THE PRETENDER (1947)
This week our incredible I WAKE UP STREAMING double-decker features a pair of pictures photographed by cinematographer extraordinaire, JOHN ALTON.
HOLLOW TRIUMPH (aka THE SCAR), a low-budget classic released through Eagle-Lion in 1948 is a brutally hard-boiled noir made even more dramatically vivid via Alton's beautifully expressive camera. This twisted tale of Fate incorporates virtually every film noir trope into its brief running time and emerges as one of the most under-appreciated noirs of the late 40s. Directed by B-film veteran Steve Sekely, but it's often been speculated that star / producer Paul Henreid directed a good bit of it. Joan Bennett co-stars, and rather magnificently. 83 minutes. Black & White.
THE PRETENDER, from 1947, is a remarkable poverty-row noir that almost defies description. A corrupt financier finds himself the accidental target of the killer he himself has hired to do the job. But just who is the killer, and can he be stopped in time? This no-budget film might not be remembered at all if not for John Alton's spellbinding cinematography. The ongoing presence of a theremin adds considerably to the overall dreamlike quality of this highly unusual film. Starring Albert Dekker, Catherine Craig, Linda Stirling, and Alan Carney. Directed by W. Lee Wilder, the older and far less famous brother of Billy. 69 minutes. Black & White.
Tuesday, October 27th – OPEN SECRET (1948) and M (1951)
Hello and welcome back to I WAKE UP STREAMING 2020!! This week, as we stare down at election day, we'll be looking at a pair of socially conscious dramas that tackle issues that in many ways continue to resonate in this country to this very day. Our first film in this power-packed, explosive double-feature will be M, the 1951 re-make of the classic 1931 film by Fritz Lang. This version, released by Columbia Pictures, was directed by Joseph Losey, at the time a very promising young director with a small handful of powerful, controversial films already to his credit. But by the end of 1951, Losey would find himself BLACKLISTED because of his politically radical views and forced to leave the country in order to continue his career as a film director.
Your supporting feature is OPEN SECRET, a 1948 low-budget film noir with a stark and serious subtext: antisemitic hate groups infiltrating a small American town. An excellent B film and, despite being produced in the late 40s, it bears a strong resemblance to many of the grittier, socially conscious noir films of the 50s.
Tuesday, November 10th – THE CHASE (1946) and DEMENTIA (1953)
Greetings, and welcome back to I WAKE UP STREAMING 2020 – this week featuring a pair of fractured features that dare to walk that dangerous tightwire that spans reality and non-reality, in other words: pure film noir. Our first film will be THE CHASE, a 1946 B noir, directed by Hollywood eccentric Arthur Ripley and, perhaps even more important, derived from a novel by Cornell Woolrich, practically the inarguable Godfather of Noir.
Our second film of the evening is the even stranger DEMENTIA, from 1953. This film has had a very complicated history since first appearing in 1953 and should provide you with the requisite amount of creepiness…
Tuesday, November 17th – D.O.A. (1950) and THE HITCH HIKER (1953)
Our double-feature this week is a potent offering with a pair of heavy hitters starring Edmond O'Brien. But this great, stalwart actor is not the only thing of interest here, as we well soon find out.
Your co-feature, D.O.A. is a bona fide classic in its own right. The film offers what might well be the most clearly delineated expression of the grim fatalism of film noir. Those of who have seen this film will immediately catch that drift. Those who are new to D.O.A. are in for a penetrating experience, making this double-feature a brutally entertaining romp on the dark end of the park.
The Last Show!
Tuesday, November 24th – THE BIG COMBO (1955) and FEMALE JUNGLE (1956)
Welcome back to our final program on this season's I WAKE UP STREAMING festival of film noir!
It should be abundantly clear by now that we've crash-landed in a nasty, gritty urban-centric world full of films calibrated to titillate with equal doses of craven sexuality and casual and often extreme violence. This reaches a thrilling boiling point in our next and final stunning double-feature, THE BIG COMBO, director Joseph H. Lewis' spectacular and bombastic 1955 film noir opus and FEMALE JUNGLE, Bruno Ve Sota's semi-obscure piece of exotica.

Hilton Als on Thomas Bartlett and Nico Muhly's "Peter Pears: Balinese Ceremonial Music"
Thomas Bartlett and Nico Muhly's album Peter Pears: Balinese Ceremonial Music, featuring nine songs they wrote plus three gamelan transcriptions by ethnomusicologist Colin McPhee, was released on Nonesuch in May. (A remix of two songs from the album was released last week.) Here, writer Hilton Als shares the story behind and offers his thoughts on the album.
It's funny where the ear and eye can sometimes take you. Growing up as an awkward, bookish kid in New York, the late artist Tobias Schneebaum used to visit side shows in Depression-era Coney Island and elsewhere in the city. And it was on these excursions that he became fascinated by the Wild Man of Borneo, and other side-show acts that featured "primitive" men of color. In 1955, when he was thirty-four, Schneebaum was awarded a Fulbright to study art in Peru. While there, he went into the jungle and vanished for a time, only to re-emerge naked and covered in paint, transformed by the experience in ways he could not anticipate. Later, after returning to New York for a time, the usually timid Schneebaum set off again, but this time for New Guinea, where he lived among the Asmat people, a place deep in the jungle where men had male and female lovers and where Schneebaum found a level of acceptance that had eluded him in New York.
The point of the story is that we humans are homing pigeons of a kind, circling and landing on those worlds that speak to us more profoundly and effectively, sometimes, than the place we're meant to be of, belong to. Think about Paul Bowles. Born to an upper middle class family in New York before the start of World War I, the gifted autodidact fell in love with what can be loosely termed "world" music when he was a young man. Living for most of his adult life in Tangier, he recorded local musicians and storytellers in an attempt to not only become more deeply immersed in the culture that drew him to them, but to decipher how he had become himself—a white boy drawn to the colored world.
Nowadays this might be called colonialism or appropriation, but I'm not buying that: When I was growing up in New York in the 1970s and '80s, I didn't see myself in much of the stuff that interested me then, but that didn't prevent me from finding the metaphors in the work that did inspire me, regardless of the cultural context. What did I share physically with Sissy Spacek and Shelley Duvall in Robert Altman's 1977 masterpiece, Three Women? Not much but a sense of my own alienation and unwillingness to look at my own alienation.
So, when I first heard about the Canadian ethnomusicologist, musician, and composer Colin McPhee and his interest in Asian music, I was intrigued because he ended up exposing the white world to what he heard, which wasn't white but part of the culture of an "other" world. McPhee was born in Montreal and attended the Peabody Institute. He was a student of Edgard Varèse's, and a pivotal step in his development was marrying, early in the 1930s, a woman named Jane Belo, who was a protégée of the great anthropologist, Margaret Mead. The couple went off to Bali together so Belo could get on with her anthropological work. And it was there that the queer McPhee really began to devote his heart and ear to his new enthusiasm, gamelan music, which he first heard in New York. Gamelan music is traditional ensemble music of Bali and Indonesia; it's dominated by percussive instruments, such as metallophones, xylophones, and flutes.
It's not difficult to imagine what swept McPhee up on that trip down East: a different world that had made a different way of communicating through sound, and separate from that monolith, otherwise known as the Western musical canon. The world was not all about white men, even if he was one himself. Being the minority can be liberating. What did the Balinese care about this man who was not them?
Following his divorce from Belo, McPhee lived in February House, the Brooklyn Heights domicile that had been established by the legendary magazine editor, George Davis, another gay man who would go on to marry the chanteuse, Lotte Lenya. Davis ran the house with W.H. Auden; it was an experiment in collective living. Among McPhee's fellow boarders: Paul and Jane Bowles, the stripper and author Gypsy Rose Lee, novelist Carson McCullers, the composer Benjamin Britten, and (at times) his lover, the singer Peter Pears. By all accounts February House—so called because most of the inhabitants shared birthdays in February—was lively; it was the locale where McPhee shared his enthusiasm for this "new" old Balinese music with Britten.
Things were very gay at February House, and imagine what Britten heard in this "other" music: work that could inform his own. Prolific and inventive, Britten was always looking for new sources of inspiration. Just as he was taken with the music used in the strict and elegant Noh theatre he saw on a trip abroad in 1955—the itinerary included not only a stop in Japan but Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Bali, and Thailand—he was open to other sources that would give him himself. That self was complicated. Like Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) before him, Britten found children erotic. And when he found this "other" music, he also found, in the faces of those Balinese and Indonesian children, the kind of romantic purity that figures like Schneebaum sought outside of the usual tenets of queerness.
The question of appropriation is a thorny one, and I lean on the side of influence when I think of Britten and McPhee's influence showed up even before Britten saw Asia; in 1941 McPhee and the composer recorded McPhee's transcription for two pianos of Balinese ceremonial music. Is this appropriation, when a musician queers what he hears to become more of his queer self? It's there in the title, right, the acknowledgement that thematic we are about to hear comes from somewhere else and has been transcribed by McPhee's queer hand first?
Britten's interest in those darker skinned children was, to my mind, a perversion of the white English belief in hierarchy. (I don't know what his partner, the singer Peter Pears, thought of all this, but I can't imagine he wasn't supportive; they lived together for most of their adult lives.) In Britten's day, homosexuality was not only outlawed, it was a source of horror, shame, and evil. What could be "less" and therefore more palatable than being gay? Children. Brown folk. And yet the music that inspired Britten—and McPhee before him—was made by those people and responded to in the purest way possible: through being heard, taken to heart, transcribed, and absorbed and now recorded again, coming out on the other side of something else—a world where these complications are not only articulated, expressed, but heard.
I didn't know any of this or much of this when I first heard Doveman and Nico Muhly's Peter Pears: Balinese Ceremonial Music, last spring. Doveman is, of course, the excellent musician and singer, Thomas Bartlett, and Nico Muhly is the estimable author of choral music, operas, dance music, movie music—work that has earned him a powerful position as one of the more original and protean composers and musicians working today. The nine track record has the aura of history—McPhee, Britten, that lot—and the aura of history remade according to the demands of Thomas and Nico's own musicianship and understanding of what has come before, and what artists take and give, often at the same time. The delicately rendered album also includes three gamelan transcriptions by Colin McPhee that inspired their work. Thus, Peter Pears, enters the world as an interesting mix—the old and the new and the queer, all at once.
It's an upsetting-in-the-best-way record, one that floats towards the ear and then recedes and then takes up all of the mind, in part because of the wonderful singing, which says as much about breathing and the breath that singing necessitates, as it does about language. (When asked what the hardest part of singing was, Björk said: "Breath.") In various press reports Thomas has said that he wanted this record to sound different, vocal wise, than his previous as a vocalist and musician, 2009's The Conformist (which, incidentally, has a wonderful track called "Breathing In"). I wasn't so much alarmed when I read that as curious: how can you improve on intimacy? Because that's what Thomas' singing evokes—someone who is alone, waiting for love, or, having had love, regrets not having it: whispers of regrets, recriminations, and then sudden little clouds of joy. In tracks like the superb, "Dominic," Thomas gives us that intimacy, but it is supplemented by all those glorious sounds that McPhee brought to the West: a whole catalogue of Eastern sound that still feels unfamiliar to us despite the advent of world music. Why? Because most Americans still listen, primarily, to American music or music written and performed in the American idiom—funk, blues, etc.—or that is part of the Western canon—Bach, Beethoven etc. In short, most audiences listen to music to hear themselves, or a more elevated version of themselves.
Thomas and Nico have an enormous amount of respect for Britten and Pears (the Western canon) and for the American voice (Thomas's voice), but with it all the record doesn't really focus on one sound or idiom, it revels in the inspiration that McPhee's work and thus Britten's provides, not to mention all those Balinese musicians playing forcefully and softly into the air. Peter Pears starts off with such power you don't know where you are at first, listening to bells or a piano? Or? The piano is breathing! You can hear it when the pedal is put down and then a note struck and it's like the heartbeats and breaths in Doveman's voice to come, in "Festina," for instance, and then "Grendl," which bubbles with the sound of electronic waves; they lap at Doveman's voice, just behind it, like waves looking for sand in some place like Bali, or England, or home.

Original Cast Recording of Dave Malloy's "Octet" Now on CD via Nonesuch Records
The original cast recording for Dave Malloy's musical Octet—recorded live during Signature Theatre's world premiere production—is now available on CD, following its digital release late last year. Featuring a score for an a cappella chamber choir and an original libretto inspired by internet comment boards, scientific debates, religious texts, and Sufi poetry, Octet explores addiction and nihilism within the messy context of twenty-first century technology. "The most original and topical musical of the year," says the New York Times; "the sublime a cappella chamber opera is a portrait in song of perhaps the greatest David and Goliath struggle of our time."

What can we expect from COP21? – BBC World Service – Newshour
tomburke November 3, 2015 November 4, 2015
It's just under a month before the start of COP21, the Paris climate change conference, at which global powers will try to achieve a universal and legally binding treaty to limit Green House Gas emissions. What can realistically be achieved?
What are the expectations for Paris?
I think the expectations are probably a lot better than people would have thought. The level of political momentum in the build up has been really very strong. A lot of leaders are going, so there will be an agreement, and it will be legally binding. It will really, in a sense, put the world on a new track, because rather than just being a single COP, this will be the start of a series of COPs that will roll forward, in which countries will come back and review their promises, and ratchet them up as we go forward. So I think we're not expecting something that will get the world to 2 degrees on its own, but it will create a railway line that will take us in that direction.
How will it be policed? How do you make sure that countries keep their promises?
That's exactly right, there is no policeman. There is nobody who is going to come in there and declare war on you if you fail to meet your commitments. But there are an awful lot of other pressures and means by which countries can be kept to their promises, not the least that this has now become a major economic and security issue, so the stakes are higher for countries which break their promises. You've also got the option now, that if there is a legally binding international treaty and countries don't meet their obligations under it, then you're entitled under the trade rules to begin to impose border tax adjustments on people's goods and services. But much more importantly there is enormous internal pressure from countries to keep their promises.
From all countries?
It's the Anglo-Saxon countries; the Australia's, Canada's, America's and Britain's, where there's really any doubt anymore that this really is a problem that has very serious implications. In most of the rest of the world the opinion polling is overwhelmingly that people realise that this is a problem, and realise that something has to be done. So there are lots of pressures on people to keep their promises, and not the least because there are lots businesses that are setting out to build the low carbon economy of the future, that if countries don't keep their promises, will find their interests are affected.
How does one actually check emissions? What are the practicalities of individual countries checking on individual businesses?
There will be a mechanism, not so much at the level of individual companies but at the level of countries to monitor their performance against their promises, to report regularly on that, and to verify that those reports are accurate. What we will have for the first time out of this treaty, is people agreeing to use the same process for monitoring, reporting and verifying. And that's what will enable these other forces, much as they do in other treaties such and human rights and non-proliferation, as it were, the court of public opinion and political opinion, to keep governments to their promises. And remember under this regime, in a sense, countries have all promised what they think they can deliver, and what we have seen in the past is that most countries have over-performed. So what I expect we will see, is not so much a problem of countries failing to deliver, is countries actually being pressed to deliver more, because it is becoming quite apparent that they can do that.
That has been one of the criticisms, the main criticism, is that countries, perhaps for those reasons, have promised less than they could deliver, but not enough has been done.
I think that's absolutely right, but what I think that we are beginning to see now is the debate that has been dominated by the fossil fuel industries and their customers, begin to be balanced by a lot of other voices coming in, particularly all those businesses worth a lot more to countries economies, beginning to come in and say "hang-on this is damaging our interests". So what we are seeing around the world is that the political risk of failing to act is growing, as climate driven events come in on countries, but the political risk of acting is going down, as renewables and the low-carbon economy begins to gather momentum, and the cost of dealing with climate change goes down.

Prop him up beside the jukebox: Joe Diffie dies after COVID-19 diagnosis
By Tres Savage -
Days after testing positive for COVID-19, country music singer Joe Diffie has died at age 61, according to multiple reports. The Oklahoma native had moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1986 before receiving his big break.
Born in Tulsa, Diffie graduated from Velma-Alma High School — about 20 miles east of Duncan — in southwest Oklahoma where he was a star athlete. Diffie attended Cameron University before pursuing careers in the oil field and, ultimately, music. He released his first album at the end of 1990, cutting 11 throughout his career and charting five Billboard No. 1 singles.
On his third album, titled Honky Tonk Attitude, Diffie released the song Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die). The upbeat tune told the story of a man whose appreciation of honky tonks and country music left him begging his friends to "fill my boots up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand" and "prop me up beside the jukebox if I die." The song's music video is embedded above and displays Diffie's trademark mustache and mullet.
Diffie's other popular hits included If The Devil Danced in Empty Pockets, Third Rock From the Sun, Pickup Man and John Deere Green. More information about Diffie's life growing up in Stephens County can be found in this 1993 article from The Oklahoman.
The music magazine Rolling Stone has a full obituary for Diffie, who won a Grammy award in 1999. From Rolling Stone:
Joseph Logan Diffie was born in Tulsa and raised in the tiny community of Velma, Oklahoma. In the intervening years, the Diffie family lived in San Antonio, Washington state, and Wisconsin. His father, who held jobs as a teacher, rancher, truck driver, and welder, had musical tastes that ran more toward traditional country, but Diffie learned about harmony singing by working in gospel and bluegrass groups, including, respectively, Higher Purpose and Special Edition. Diffie also played bars, VFW halls, and honky-tonks as a solo act in Duncan, Oklahoma, where he lived with his wife and children while working in a local foundry. He also partnered with his father to run a small recording studio.
The novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has infected more than 136,000 Americans, killing more than 2,000. Worldwide, the global pandemic has infected more than 713,000 people, killing more than 33,000.
(Update: This post was updated at 3:40 p.m. to include additional information and to correct reference to the alma mater of Joe Diffie.)

Pruning (trimming) a tree is the most common tree maintenance procedure and there are many reasons for it. For young trees, it helps them develop a strong and desirable form. For mature trees, it helps them to live longer and maintain their beauty. It is very important to understand how each tree will respond to each cut that is made to it. If improperly pruned, your trees can be damaged, sometimes beyond repair, and their lives can be substantially shortened. When trees are pruned from a young age, they need little corrective pruning later on.
Thinning branches to allow more sunlight through.
Although all of these are acceptable reasons for pruning, they must all be done with the knowledge of how a tree will react. Heavy or improper pruning can permanently damage or kill a tree.
If you are pruning your own trees, here are some things to keep in mind.
Each cut has the potential to change the growth of a tree so take care in where you prune.
Learn where and how to make cuts to avoid long-term damage to your tree.
Trees heal differently than we do. Trees grow over their wounds so they are there forever.
Small cuts do less damage than large cuts, so pruning at an early age will reduce the need for larger cuts later.
Be sure you are using the proper tools for pruning.
Climbing trees can be dangerous all by itself, but climbing and pruning is even more risky.
Do not prune any trees that are near power lines. There is the potential to be electrocuted.
If you have any doubt at all about what you are doing, hire a certified arborist to help you.

Waterfront homeless clients help with flood repairs
Colin Warren-Hicks, Pensacola News Journal
Published 6:00 a.m. CT Oct. 5, 2020
When Hurricane Sally hammered Pensacola with heavy rain and winds last month, the storm caused massive flooding at the Waterfront Rescue Mission that forced the shelter to close for repairs — dealing yet another blow to the area's homeless population.
With bed capacities at shelters already reduced due by COVID-19 restrictions, the temporary closure of the organization has displaced many of those who relied on Pensacola's largest shelter prior to the storm.
But now, about a dozen homeless men in Waterfront's work training program are laboring eight hours a day to help repair the place they call home. Waterfront expects to reopen its facility in four to six weeks, thanks to the men's help.
"We're working really hard trying to get it back up," said Robert Reese, a Navy veteran and Waterfront client. "We're doing everything from remodeling to tearing out the walls, the sheetrock, some of the frame. We've been tearing out some of the admin building, the carpet, everything that was molded, everything that got wet. Everything that can't be kept, we're redoing."

Although far from the shoreline, Waterfront's campus on West Herman Street is in a section of Pensacola particularly prone to flooding. Shelter staff prepared for Hurricane Sally by evacuating all of the shelter's residents the night before the storm.
"Between 65 and 85 individuals were transported to the Bay Center (shelter) the night before Sally," said Jody Shoop, director of Waterfront Mission's Pensacola campus.
As Sally pummeled the area with rain, poor drainage caused water to collect and build up in the streets surrounding the shelter, Shoop said. Six to 10 inches of floodwater flowed into the first floors of all three of Waterfront's buildings.
Ever since then, an eight-foot sign with the word "CLOSED" scrawled in black spray paint, has stood at the entrance gate. Waterfront Senior Vice President Angie Ishee said she finds it "gut wrenching" to pull into the office parking lot every morning and have to see that sign.
The Waterfront Rescue Mission remains closed on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2020. The homeless shelter received damage to its facilities were flooded with several inches of water during Hurrican Sally. (Photo: Tony Giberson/[email protected])
"About 40% of the people living homeless have been identified as having a mental health issue or a drug and alcohol issue," she said. "So you compound that with the fact that jobs are scarce right now, and now Waterfront doesn't have overnight shelter, then yes, that does pose great concern for us."
Even with the shelter closed, staff have worked to distribute food, toiletries and other necessities to Pensacola's homeless population and have adopted proactive practices such as delivering ready-to-eat meals in the shelter's vans.
"We are constantly reaching out to people," Shoop said. "We just don't sit here and wait for them to come. We reach out to them as well."
Still, both COVID-19 and Sally have left their mark. Last year, the shelter housed 150 homeless people a night on average. But social distancing restrictions due to COVID-10 have cut its capacity down to approximately 60 available beds.
Now, because of flood damage, the only homeless people sleeping at Waterfront are the dozen members of its work training program who are helping with repairs.

Reese, the Navy veteran, praised the shelter for helping him combat his addictions to drugs and alcohol. The Alabama native moved to Pensacola two months before Hurricane Sally.
"Well, it provided my food and shelter and truly provided men and women of God I've been searching for a long time — a place that could provide me spiritual guidance," he said.
Like Reese, Michael Bowers has been living at the shelter for the past few months and said it has also changed his life for the better.
Bowers considers himself lucky to be part of the work training program. He knew basic construction skill before the hurricane flooded the facilities and because of his work helping repair the shelter, he still sleeps indoors, unlike some other homeless men he knows who are forced to sleep on the street.
"A lot of these people are people who are left in a lurch. They kind of spill over, and they are forgotten," Bowers said. "You are talking about the underbelly of American here. It's a situation that a lot of Americans do not want to talk about."

19 November every year: Raising awareness of sanitation issues.
Whilst this may sound like quite a frivolous subject for a 'World Day', it's actually very serious. World Toilet Day focuses on the importance of sanitation and aims to raise awareness about the 2.6 billion people (nearly half the world's population) who don't have access to toilets and proper sanitation. You can find out more, and access facts, figures and multimedia resources on the UN World Toilet Day web pages.
The Global Learning Programme (GLP) has produced a free World Toilet Day resource to help teach pupils about the global issues surrounding sanitation. Aimed at Key Stages 2, 3 and above, this free resource supports the teaching of literacy, science, geography, history, citizenship and PSHE. It comprises a quiz and 12 activity ideas for World Toilet Day, including: assembly ideas; Oxfam Water Week activities investigating water vulnerability; activities to construct facilities such as water filters, water pumps, or hand washers; and many more. The resource is available to all schools signed up to the GLP. If your school isn't registered, find out how here.
To find further resources that can help you mark World Toilet Day, in your school, have a browse through the ones listed on the Global Dimension database under the topic of Water.
You may also find these background articles useful: Water and Health, drugs and disease.

APPLIED MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR THE TEACHER AND TRAINER
As a medical educator, you use what you know to help your students develop into successful professionals. The path is not always smooth and easy. You work in complex systems that are sometimes beyond your control. You try to collaborate with partners and colleagues as you implement learning environments and experiences. You adapt to the unique and changing needs of patients, students, and preceptors. You assess knowledge and skills and provide feedback to improve performance. All of these challenges depend on your knowledge and skills, but they also depend on your ability to apply those skills to make decisions and take action in constantly changing, complex situations.
In this course, you apply what you learn to turn these and your other challenges into opportunities. You will be guided through Adaptive Action Experiments where you use your new skills and knowledge to find innovative solutions to the problems you face today and prepare for problems you cannot predict in the future.
The course is delivered over 8 weeks and has 4 modules:
Working at the edge of uncertainty
Working better together
Finding the fix that fits
Making the good better
The content for each module is structured to highlight challenges associated with translating specific skills from the ESME foundation course into practice, and encourages participants to work on overcoming these. Participation in ESME / ESMEonline is not a prerequisite although those looking for a foundational course in teaching skills should consider studying this first.

During today's Nintendo Direct it was announced that Starlink: Battle for Atlas will be getting another update, and it'll include some extra Starfox content. You'll be able to play as Falco, Peppy, and Slippy taking on Star Wolf's crew. The new update is expected in April, and can check out the direct below.
Star Fox content starts at 13:58.


How many periods have you been in a trade, and the market goes against you?
I will trust all of us has. Correct?
It is because this is how the markets sway.
I bet 98% of the time people get in a trade, that they could have got a better fill price if they just waiting? Why do we feel the urge to jump in? I know, and you can now change this pattern to become a better trader.
This is no joke about getting bad fills – You can relate now.
I see it all the time and I know why we jump in and want to get hurt as a result. We feel the market will leave us. THIS IS NOT TRUE 90% of the time. The markets is not going anywhere fast. At times it will, but then just wait for the next moment.
Lets change this and get better fill prices for you. Follow along below.
Arranging a better fill price on entering the market may be the end all when you don't get it, and the best of all when you do get it.
The three deductions why going fishing is so imperative when day trading?
The 2nd pillar of success is the entry price. You need a solid fill price to get the 3rd pillar of success, and that is the exit price.
What follows if the math changes and you get filled at the corresponding time?
No problems, you merely just went fishing for a 2 to 6 tick better price. You have three opportunities.
Get out the similar way you got in using the SF effect and then reversing if the stars line up.
This is the opportunity to change around being sluggish on entry with the markets and use awareness to put those moves in your favor applying the San Fransisco Effect to enter.
What follows if you fumble a trade and you were correct?
It's 100% okay! Just cancel the orders and anticipate for the next set up. There are countless times to place other orders. Just pause for the right fill advantage. Try not to say, I WAS RIGHT. It required you zero to put orders in the market and tons to enter at the wrong price.
What follows if the CycleTRADER's math turns before the entry orders are filled?
Cancel the orders and wait to seek to enter the opposite way practicing the same fishing method, or anticipate for different set up following the directional math.
What follows if you get filled and the math rotates the other way?
No anxieties, you are filled 2 to 6 ticks adequately (some markets could be more significant). Instantly the exit is a smaller loss, and you can reasonably live with this better.
How do I know which direction to trade?
Longer term charts, 15, 20, 30, 60 minute VMI, Matrix, Greenline Bars, Close Strength, etc, look for an advantage of move.
Watch the VMI and Matrix.
Pay Attention to the short term charts, 1, 3, 5, they will turn first in the direction of the longer term charts.
Watch the 4 to 9 bar cycles to when to continue and think about reverse.
Watch the RBBS (retracement bar buy/sell) patterns.
Watch above or below the SMA for trend direction.
The list goes on, but you need to see the math for direction.
Repeat, what if I support all the above and the math shifts?
Next, exit at a much sounder price than if you had merely entered when the math turned at the worst price. You are momentarily 2 to 6 ticks better depending on the market, and it could be better.
Can I use the fishing method to exit current positions too?
Granted, you can! Most bars do not go further then 100% of the range of the previous bar, and they have SF effects the other way too. That serves adequately.
Tell me again how I can arrange this?
When you witness the math change, set orders above or below the market and go fishing for sounder fills in the course of the CycleTRADER's math trends.
Recognize it require you zero to place orders and everything while you receive a terrible fill price.
Reminder: If you do get filled on your order, and the math switches the other way, your fill price will be significantly sufficient, and the loss can be limited.
What is the healthiest way to enter orders?
We use the Dome for smooth entry when fishing for order entry. Meanwhile, as the market math shows you the direction, click left to buy and right side to sell.
You can click "X" to cancel orders or the Close, and this will exit all orders and close all working orders.
We all do not desire to fumble a move. But, if 98% of the time you get in a market move, and you could have done better after you thought about getting in, then apply this approach to get solid fills.
If you fumble the fill, no problem, get the following one when the math shifts in the direction you perceive the market is going.
Both ways, you have authority now with Go Fishing for entry fill prices.

The Loweswater fells fall into two groups. To the south of the lake is a group of fells that stretch out from Blake Fell. To the north there is almost rectangular area of undulating high ground with at least six clearly identifiable summits. Darling Fell is at the south-west corner of this area, overlooking Loweswater. To the south and east it is steep sided. More gentle slopes drop away to the west, but to the north there is hardly any drop at all before we reach the start of the climb up to Sourfoot Fell.
Low Fell to the east offers better views of Crummock Water and Buttermere and the surrounding fells, and rather blocks the view east from the slightly lower Darling Fell. However Darling Fell is a splendid viewpoint for Loweswater itself, for the fells south of the lake, and for the Cumbria coastal plain out towards Workington and Maryport.
The main path across Darling Fell runs from west to east, leading from the old Mosser Road in the west (no longer suitable for vehicles but great for walkers) then runs along the summit of Darling Fell before dropping down into the valley of Crabtree Beck then climbing up to Low Fell. The fell is normally climbed via this path. It can also be reached easily from the north (although beware of the many maintained fences in this area), or up the valley of Crabtree Beck.
Our walk in the Loweswater Fells visits Darling Fell towards the end.
The grassy summit sits above the steep southern slope. There are two patches of higher ground, and the western one is probably just the higher.
The eastern boundary of the fell is formed by Crabtree Beck, which flows from the slopes of Sourfoot Fell into the valley between Darling Fell and Low Fell.
The northern boundary of the fell could be taken at Loftbarrow or at Sourfoot Fell. If we use Loftbarrow then the north-western boundary is formed by Whittern Gill, which flows west then flows into Dub Beck and turns east to run into Loweswater. If we use Sourfoot Fell then Mosser Beck is the boundary, flowing north-west then north-east into the River Cocker, while the western boundary is lost in undulating countryside.
Darling Fell has a footing on Loweswater.

Funny story- throughout the past year, I found one plastic Christmas tray after another- some vintage-y, some less so. They were cheap and festive, so I bought several with no actual project ideas in mind. That is, until I found this kitschy Santa Claus tray- he had great vintage style, was round, and would make for a perfect retro Christmas wreath.
I had a clear vision in mind- center my upcycled food try underneath a plain artificial evergreen wreath, decorate the wreath with kitschy vintage Christmas decorations, and hang! This post contains affiliate links for your crafting convenience.
First things first, I used my power drill to create a small hole at the top of my vintage food tray. This would be where I would ultimately add a loop of ribbon for hanging. Then, using low-grit (rough) sandpaper, I gently sanded the flat rim of the tray.
Why sand it? To rough up the surface where I would adhere a wreath form, making it a better surface for glue to adhere to.
BUT, finding the perfect wreath form proved difficult. I tried 20", 22", 24" wreaths and so on- but it was a Goldilocks situation…too big, too small, etc. FINALLY, I resorted to plain wreath-making garland so that I could have my "just right" wreath.
With wire cutters and my hot glue gun on standby, I created a perfectly (or near perfectly) sized "wreath" that framed my kitschy Santa tray. I used basic hot glue to attach the wreath to the tray edge.
Not perfect, but it'll do!
NOW for the fun decorating part. I was sure that I'd find all kinds of classic plastic Christmas "bits" while thrifting, but I came up short. So, I turned to one of my favorite Instagram sellers, Vintage Junk in My Trunk, and purchased a huge box of Christmas bits from her.
Happy Mail from Vintage Junk in My Trunk!
First, I "floofed" up my wreath garland, moving the little branches/arms around to create a relatively "flat" surface" for my kitschy decor bits. Then, I arranged several of the vintage decor pieces from Vintage Junk in My Trunk on my retro Christmas wreath. When I was finally satisfied, I again hot glued them in place.
Doesn't that look fabulous?? Perfectly kitschy, perfectly retro Christmas…in fact, you could say it was a "Kitschmas Wreath".
Last step for me, but you could totally do this earlier in the process!
And that was it- my retro Christmas wreath was ready to hang. It's super lightweight, but everything felt sturdy and secure with just the hot glue.
I mean…I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
I mean, c'mon…isn't that the cutest thing? It joins a long line of upcycled Christmas wreaths in my arsenal.
Be sure to check out my entire collection of repurposed Christmas projects here before you go- for even more crafty inspiration!
Craft on and Merry Kitschmas!
Omygoodness – I was just looking at the exact. same. tray. that I have and wondering what to do with it. Now I know – how cute is this idea! Thank you very much for the inspiration!
What are the chances??? But also a wonderful coincidence- happy crafting, Karen!
What a great upcycle idea! Love it!
Cute, cute idea. I have a few trays. You are an inspiration.
Thank you so very much, Tonia!
You knocked this one out of the park! I really love that – I see those sort of trays all the time. You have inspired me once again – thanks!
I'm so glad, Beverly- and thank you!!
this so reminds me of my childhood growing up in the late 60's early 70's, i love it thanks for the memories.
Adorable, this turned out perfect!
Love this vintage Santa wreath!!! I've loved vintage all my life. When I was young, everything was about Santa Claus with the big beard and cherry cheeks; just like this tray. I'll have to try and find some. I love this project. You are soooo talented and I love your blog site. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.
