Holly – Endurance – Wisdomkeeper of Evergreens (King of Wands)
Genus: Ilex – Family: Aquifoliaceae
Holly brings life and creativity during difficult and challenging times. As an evergreen, holly reminds us of our inner strength and endurance so we may overcome any obstacle in our path.
The Celtic battle of the Holly King versus the Oak King was seen as a metaphor for the ongoing cycle between winter/darkness and summer/light. The evergreen holly symbolizes the undying nature of life during the short days of winter, while the deciduous oak, symbolizes the fullness of life during the long days of summer. When the oak drops its leaves in fall, the evergreen leaves of holly remain as symbols of hope for the renewal of spring.
The Druids wore holly in their hair to ward off evil spirits.
English Ivy was seen as the Queen to the Holly King. During the Winter Solstice girls dressed in ivy and boys in holly to symbolize how the forces of nature came together to birth new life in spring.
Holly was the sacred plant of Saturn (Roman god of harvest). Sprigs of holly were given during the festival of Saturnalia in December. As Christianity spread throughout Europe holly became a traditional Christmas decoration referred to by the name "Christ's Thorn." The holly was now associated with Jesus and the ivy with his mother the Virgin Mary.
The British folk Christmas carol The Holly and the Ivy was written in the 1800's. It weaves the stories of nature and Christianity together.
In popular culture, Harry Potter's wand is made of holly to help him on his spiritual quest. Holly is a spirit that brings luck, prosperity and protection.
The genus name Ilex was originally the Latin name for evergreen oak, Quercus ilex, also known as holm (holly) oak. This interrelationship of holly and oak was based on the similar shape of their leaves and the fact that they share the same habitat. Unlike evergreen oaks, holly trees produce white blossoms in summer and red berries in winter. Holly is dioecious, meaning there are male and female trees. Both produce white blossoms but only the female tree produces the iconic red berries. The contrast of the red berries against the waxy evergreen leaves became symbols of endurance. European holly, Ilex aquifoliumis a rugged species native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia.
Message: Holly reminds us to believe in ourselves and to connect with our inner strength as we move through difficult times in our life. By knowing that everything eventually comes full-circle we can see the potential that lies ahead. This is a time of positive action and endurance that will actually help us achieve a long-term goal.
Challenge: Being stuck in rut or seeking "quick fixes" that deplete our resources.

Home Markets Case Studies
Canned food for adventures
Founded by Maartje Schoolderman in 2015, vanBLIK is a start-up producing plant-based canned meals in the Netherlands. The inspiration for the products stemmed from Maartje's sailing holidays with her parents, who regularly took canned foods on the boat. Building on this association, Maartje wanted to show that canned food can be exciting, perfect for adventurous trips as well as for simple meals at home.
Fundamental to the start-up's success is the use of steel to create the food's packaging. By using steel, Maartje was able to offer a product that is convenient and delicious without compromising on sustainability.
Maartje's first challenge was to address the perception that fresh is always best and show that there are other options which tick the nutritional and sustainability boxes.
By using steel packaging, the nutrients within the vanBLIK plant-based products are locked in. The food is cooked inside the sealed can so has less exposure to the atmosphere which means it lasts longer, leading to less food waste. Food waste and loss are significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.
There are currently three popular consumer trends in the Netherlands; a need for convenience; for healthy products; and for a sustainable lifestyle. By using steel packaging, the creators of vanBLIK identified that they could offer a product that maximises on these current trends.
In the Netherlands, 95 per cent of all steel packaging is recycled; and with every tonne of steel recycled, 1500 kilos of iron ore, 650 kilos of coal and 300 kilos of limestone are saved. In addition to this outstanding recycling rate, canned food also supports the environment through its long shelf life at ambient temperatures. Unlike fresh food, canned food doesn't need to be stored in a fridge or a freezer, consequently using considerably less energy. There is also less food waste as the vanBLIK product is portioned into manageable pack sizes.
The unique composition of steel also makes it perfect packaging for vanBLIK. Continuous innovation in the steel industry has led to lightweighting – reducing the weight of steel packaging by lessening the thickness of the can. By lightweighting steel, energy consumption to produce steel packaging is lowered and it also makes the vanBLIK product lighter for consumers taking it on all 'adventurous' occasions. The mechanical strength of steel packaging, however, has maintained during this innovation, guaranteeing lasting durability and a total barrier against light, gases and liquids – ensuring product quality.
This, combined with the 'steel recycles forever' message, shows Dutch consumers the very real and tangible benefits of using steel and choosing canned products.
Building a partnership
During Tata Steel's centennial celebrations of its IJmuiden site, the company provided vanBLIK the opportunity to promote its new vegan products. Tata Steel and vanBLIK produced a limited edition can label for the new range, showcasing all the advantages of canned food and why steel packaging is so sustainable.
"I think it's very important that start-ups collaborate with larger firms because bigger companies have the knowledge, the resources, the expertise; whereas start-ups are often the voice of the customer. They speak to them on a daily basis; so that combination is perfect."

Janet Bickel likens academic career development to a long-distance hike, requiring sustained effort. In the tenure track, advancement from assistant professor to associate professor takes 5-9 years of strenuous effort at many institutions, and advancement from associate professor to full professor often requires 5-10 more. Problem is: as a species we're not good at such sustained effort. Consider physical exercise and weight-loss diets. A minimum of 50% of us who begin these give up, with some sources reporting up to 90% attrition. Why? We don't find these efforts to be enjoyable, and they cause stress.
One approach to sustaining academic effort is using commitment devices (also here), forcing functions, and social pressure — all external. Although these can be effective, they are not always pleasant and can add to stress.
With respect to exercise, in her book No Sweat Michelle Segar has an effective and ingeniously simple alternative solution to the problem of giving up: find a form of exercise that you enjoy performing.
Unsustainable exercise regimes typically result from negative motivations (too unfit, too obese, too unattractive, too unhealthy, too embarrassed) for unpleasant exercise (an unwanted chore, a necessary evil, punishment, self-torture or, at the very least, taking time away from more important activities) with no immediate gratification (i.e., fitness takes time to develop). Sustained will power can overcome this combination, but is seldom sufficient.
A first step is to reframe the activity as a gift to one's self, something one wants to do autonomously, a reward.
A next step is to find pleasurable forms of physical activity that are consistent with this reframing. Enjoyability trumps effort because activities that are not enjoyable are probably not sustainable. This is very much an individual preference. Some individuals enjoy intense work-outs, long runs, and sweating; some do not or lack the time for them. For the latter individuals, if the 'medical model of exercise' is set aside, opportunities for physical activity become obvious and activity more feasible.
If one's academic activity is unpleasant, it is probably not sustainable. Find forms that are pleasant or rewarding, and hence sustainable.
Within one's job description is almost always an opportunity for choice or flexibility — of research project, of classroom approach to a topic, of how to contribute to one's academic community, etc. Choose the options that are pleasurable or rewarding. They then become not 'just your job', but opportunities for enjoyment or reward. Gratification is both delayed (the eventual promotion) and, more importantly, immediate (you are doing something you enjoy).
Admittedly, this prescription may be more feasible in some systems than others. At my institution we have a standard tenure track in which assistant professors who find their primary joy in teaching (and detest research) would be well advised to find another institution. For faculty who care for patients, however, we (and a growing number of academic health centers) have a second track that credits diverse contributions. In this track faculty can advance through any contribution that sufficiently enhances the distinction of the academic health center. We liken this to the Olympic or Paralympic Games, wherein individuals of diverse abilities and talents can excel. What matters for promotion is less the sport, and more that the competitor medals. In such a system, Michelle Segar's prescription becomes: Figure out where your passion and institutional needs overlap, and then pursue your passion.
Such freedom of choice, however, can pose its own problems of decision paralysis. But one can't have everything.
 See, for example, https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/2013-100k-transformation-contest-press-release.html , https://www.creditdonkey.com/gym-membership-statistics.html , https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-90-you-quit-gym-early-2015-paul-elsass-msm , https://link.springer.com/article/10.2165/00007256-199417010-00004 .
I encourage faculty members to ask three questions: Do I have enough autonomy to accomplish my goals? Am I finding opportunities to improve and gain mastery of knowledge and skills? Am I finding meaning and purpose in my work? If the answer is "no" to any or all of these questions, you should consider changing in your approach, changing your position, or changing your place of employment.

Ashcroft speaks about forthcoming live shows
The Verve have spoken about their forthcoming live dates, plus the relationships in the band which have led them to break up twice before.
Frontman Richard Ashcroft spoke of his excitement about playing live again and gave an insight into how he might choose the setlists for the live shows.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Ashcroft said: "Sometimes lyrically you feel uncomfortable with stuff you've done in the past, so lyrically it's got to be right for me now and musically for the rest of the guys. "Luckily we wrote some songs that had a timeless quality so we're not too fearful about it. Should be good concerts."
Ashcroft went on to discuss how relationships between the band members had thawed. "We've had a few fights but that's just the way it is," he joked. "Nah - we're fine, we're cool, it's good. "It's all about the healing process, it's about forgiveness and it's about moving on, it's all about love and it's all about peace. No more fights.
When asked about the first band meeting since the split, Ashcroft said: "We just turned up and without going into too much psychology and ripping ourselves to pieces, I think we met and within 20 minutes we were playing music. "I think we're just going to let the music do the talking and I'm very happy with the results so far."
Ashcroft may have had success as a solo artist, since The Verve broke up, but Richard says there's nothing quite like being in a band when it's all going well. "Certain bands have got certain combinations that a bit of magic happens and I'm very lucky to have been part of that before and looking forward to the future and doing it again so it's all very exciting."

Q: Create a validation rule for colums of the join tables in CakePHP I have a hasAndBelongsToMany association between two tables(Recipes and Ingredients) in a CakePHP joined with a linking table(ingredients_recipes).
My ingredients_recipes table has an amount colum in order to save the value of the ingredient for the recipe but i dont know how or where create a validation rule for allow only numbers in that colum.
I already look here and in the documentation but i cant found nothing.
If you need more information please let me know
Thnks

A: If you're storing additional fields on the join table, you will have to deal with the join table explicitly, rather than in a hasAndBelongsToMany, where CakePHP takes care of the join table behind the scenes, and therefore the validation rule should be on ingredients_recipes.
This type of relationship, by the way, is known as a hasManyThrough, and is basically just expressed as recipes hasMany ingredients_recipes and ingredients_recipes has many ingredients.
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/associations-linking-models-together.html#hasmany-through-the-join-model

A: Create validation rules in Recipe.php and Ingredient.php Models, example is shown below:
Step 1: Open Ingredient.php
Step 2: Edit Ingredient.php
Class Ingredient extends AppModel{
    var $name = 'Ingredient';
    public $validate = array(
      'ingredients_recipes' => array(
        'rule'    => 'numeric',
        'message' => 'Please supply the number of ingredients recipes.'
       )
    );
}

Step 3: Save and execute your code.
Now your Ingredient model validates ingredients_recipes for numeric vaidation and if fails then returns the "message".
Same way way you can create multiple validation rules for other models.

Home / News / Environment and Energy / One In Five UK Councils Delivering The MetalMatters Campaign
One In Five UK Councils Delivering The MetalMatters Campaign
Collection and Transport, Resource Management, Sustainability
Since the MetalMatters programme launched in 2012, one in five UK councils have chosen to use the campaign as a vehicle to deliver their recycling messages to householders and increase the metal packaging captured at kerbside, meaning a total of 5.3 million households have now received MetalMatters messages directly through their door.
Nine councils have launched MetalMatters campaigns in 2017, and seven have been launched since the beginning of September. All are receiving funding support from the industry partnership and have been developed with programme managers, Alupro.
Bristol City, South Staffordshire, Calderdale (W. Yorkshire), Castle Point (Essex), Cheshire West and Chester, Orkney and West Dunbartonshire are all using MetalMatters to promote metal packaging recycling to their residents. In total 592,000 households in the past month have been directly communicated with and encouraged to recycle their drink cans, food tins, foil and empty aerosols.
Councillor Fi Hance, Cabinet Member for Energy, Waste and Regulatory Services in Bristol said: "We've had lots of interest in the MetalMatters campaign since it was rolled out across the city by Bristol Waste Company in September. Metal is a valuable resource for Bristol and we are looking forward to seeing the results."
Orkney Council is Britain's smallest local authority, with a population of just 20,000 and a recycling infrastructure that relies heavily on bring banks as well as kerbside collections. The attraction of MetalMatters was the opportunity to communicate directly with residents through two leaflet drops to every household. The campaign is being used by the Council to inform residents that it has added aerosols and foil containers to its collection scheme for the first time; so it hopes that the combination of information, education and reinforcement of the campaign messages will prove to be a positive method of boosting recycling rates.
Rick Hindley, Executive Director of MetalMatters programme managers, Alupro says: "We are thrilled that one in five councils in the UK have partnered with the MetalMatters programme so far. We are particularly pleased to be working with Orkney: the programme has been deployed in both urban and rural areas and has proved successful in all settings, but this is the first time we have worked with such a small population." He adds, "to date, every deployment has resulted in a positive impact on metal packaging capture rates which clearly demonstrates that focussing on behaviour change will deliver significant increases in recycling rates."
The campaign is based around a two-phase leaflet drop that informs and reminds householders about what and how to recycle, and explains what happens to metal packaging when it is recycled. The remaining campaign elements are completely flexible depending upon the needs of the local council who can choose from a ready-made library of resources ranging from bin stickers to cinema screen adverts.
The programme is funded by a partnership of metal packaging manufacturers, fillers and reprocessors, industry organisations and compliance schemes and is delivered on their behalf by Alupro, with support from local authorities and their waste collection partners.

Ottawa should finish the job on advocacy work by charities: Editorial
By Star Editorial Board
Fri., Nov. 17, 2017timer4 min. read
One of the more mean-spirited actions of the late Harper government was its misguided crackdown on dozens of charities for allegedly straying too far into the fraught territory of "political activity."
Back in 2012 the Conservatives sicced the Canada Revenue Agency on at least 60 organizations, ranging from the David Suzuki Foundation to Environment Defence to PEN Canada. By an astounding coincidence, the vast majority of the targeted groups spent time advocating for positions that the government of the day found antithetical – on the environment, social justice, human rights and more.
It was, to be blunt, a thinly disguised attempt to limit public debate. The CRA launched audits of the charities, tying them up in red tape and putting a chill on their efforts to speak out on public issues.
To its credit, the Trudeau government called off the dogs last spring and put an end to that kind of harassment by taxmen operating on what were essentially political orders.
And in his mandate letter to Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau instructed her to make sure that charities are "free from political harassment." Further, he told her to update the rules around "political activity" so that charities can continue "to make an important contribution to public debate and public policy."
So far, so good. But the government has left the job only half completed. It has failed to carry through on the recommendations of a five-member expert panel that it set up to review the whole issue.
That panel reported at the end of March and recommended several changes designed to allow registered charities more freedom to engage in political (but not partisan) activities as part of their advocacy on public issues. As a general principle, it said, advocacy by charities "should be recognized and valued, and seen as an essential part of the democratic process."
It urged that the CRA change its rules to enable charities "to fully engage in public policy dialogue and development." And it recommended that the Income Tax Act be amended to let charities take part in "non-partisan public policy dialogue" as long as it is "subordinate to and furthers their charitable purposes."
To be clear, the group did not recommend that charities be allowed to engage in overtly partisan activity, such as campaigning for or against a party or a politician. "Political activity," by its definition, involves advocating on matters of public interest – such as an environmental group opposing a pipeline project, or a human rights group criticizing restrictions on free speech.
All this makes eminent sense. The current law is outdated, and out of step with the practice in other major countries. At the same time, giving charities a wider scope to speak out on public issues would bring with it a host of benefits.
It would encourage experts associated with those groups to add their expertise to public debates. It would enlarge the pool of people participating in those debates, since charities often serve as a way for those without a strong voice to speak up. It would provide more opportunities for people interested in policy debates, but leery of traditional political parties, to get involved.
Finally, it would help to tip the balance in debates in favour of those with the public interest in mind. After all, businesses, unions, professional associations and others are free to speak out without restrictions. Why should registered charities have to look over their shoulders for fear of violating tax regulations?
The government should move ahead on these sensible and thoroughly democratic recommendations. But seven and a half months after the panel it appointed came out with its report, there has been only silence on this front from the revenue minister.
This should be an easy win for the Trudeau government as it reaches the mid-point in its mandate and seems obsessed with tracking and calculating its achievements so far. It's firmly in line with the Liberals' promise to promote wider democracy and public participation. It would allow the government to tick off one more promise fulfilled. As a bonus, it wouldn't cost a cent.
While it's on the subject of charities, the government should take another look at a recommendation by a parliamentary committee that studied the problems facing Canada's struggling news industry.
Members of the Commons Heritage committee spent months examining the issue, and one of their recommendations was that media organizations be allowed to set up charitable foundations to support journalism. They found that model has had some success in other countries – such as the United States, with ProPublica, and Britain, with the foundation that owns The Guardian newspaper.
In October, though, the government rejected that proposal out of hand, along with everything else that Liberal and NDP members of the committee came up with in their majority report (the Conservatives dissented). The ministers who responded said only that "it is not clear" that changes to the Income Tax Act to allow not-for-profit media organizations and foundations to register as charities "would be an effective way of supporting the not-for-profit media."
This makes no sense. It ignores the experience of other countries, as well as the evidence of thousands of other not-for-profits that use charitable status to underwrite their activities.
The ministers did allow as how the news media and journalism are "fundamental pillars of our democratic process." But those are empty words as long as they brush aside any and all action to address the issues.
On both widening the scope of public advocacy for charitable groups, and allowing news organizations to explore alternate ways of supporting journalism, the government has unfinished business on its hands. It should move ahead.
Canada Revenue Agency, Justin Trudeau

McNab McNab & Starke provides personalised, quality services in the administration Wills & Power of Attorney.
We have a long standing and substantial profile in the area of deceased estates, and as such understand the importance of administering Wills correctly with consideration to the individual and their specific needs.
What is needed for a valid Will?
At the very least there needs to be a document of some sort that was intended by the deceased person to have been his or her last Will. Usually the document needs to be signed in the presence of two witnesses who then also sign. In some cases a mark on the document by the deceased or comment by the deceased (without signature) adopting the document as his or her Will might suffice.
My mother has dementia and her last Will is out of date. Can a Will be made for her?
It is possible to apply to the Court for it to authorise the making of a Will on certain specific terms for a person who has lost the capacity to make a Will for himself or herself. This is a complex process and requires legal assistance.
I am my father's power of attorney. How does my role and the executor's role relate to each other once my father dies?
An executor has no power to act until a Will maker passes away. The office of a power of attorney on the other hand only operates during the lifetime of the person ("the donor") and once the donor dies the power of attorney authority ceases. The two roles are completely separate in time. Where the power of attorney and the executor are different people and the person concerned dies, the power of attorney will need to hand over to the executor any documents or assets that were held for the donor. The power of attorney is accountable to the executor for the attorney's handling of the donor's affairs during the donor's lifetime.
What does this word mean, and how does it affect me?
See the page 'Some common words explained' on this website. If the word you are enquiring about is not covered, call us and we can assist.

As a parent or would-be parent, travelling with your children for the first time can feel daunting and stress-inducing. From figuring out what to pack to being concerned for your child, these are the real fears of parents. Regardless, there are mistakes you should avoid when travelling with your children or kids.
Jumia Travel shares some of these mistakes.
In your house, you might have a policy about how much time your kids can spend playing games or watching movies on devices. But when you're travelling, you might have to bend the rules a little to survive your travel. Make sure any device you're bringing is fully loaded with approved videos and apps and allow them to have as much screen time as they want to keep them distracted.
You have ideas about what destination you want to visit during your trip, but remember that when you have kids, flexibility is everything. Just know that kids will create better memories - swimming in a vacation home pool and eating vacation food than they will trek or climb a mountain. It is really not difficult to satisfy them. In fact, it is probably better to allow the kids to decide where they want to go.
You might not have your kids' sleep cycle at the top of your mind when you're trying to book an affordable flight, but if you have the flexibility to book based on your kid's energy, sleep and food needs, it can be a huge help. You can choose a flight departure that is closest to your child's bedtime and avoid day flights that mean your kids will be awake.
It's worth leaving space in your luggage for a few items that help entertain and soothe your kids. Pack your child's favourite toy, animal or blanket so they can feel comfortable and at home wherever you are. Never forget their toys and entertainment if you want peace during your trip.
It's not smart to under-pack when you're travelling with kids. But, at the same, you don't want to overpack. In your desire not to forget anything your kids might need, you risk bringing way too much, which only adds to stress. The rule of thumb should be to pack what is really important.


Want to know the secret to a pregnant woman's heart? And it doesn't even involve taking her out to a restaurant or bringing home tea biscuits, Snickers bars, and potato chips from the grocery store?
It's catering to her furniture re-arranging whims!
On Wednesday night, Darling Husband willingly rearranged our entire basement family room/playroom according to my NESTING OVERLOAD hormones totally rational wishes.
I swear to God, it was the best night EVER!
Along with moving the entire enterainment unit/couch around, he also did some re-wiring of speaker-y things (OK, that was more for his enjoyment), and hooked up the CD player. So after the toddler was in bed, we moved furniture/discussed furniture placement while jamming to old-school favourites.
Hell, I DANCED around the basement with my big ol' pregnant stomach — that's how happy I was.
So husbands? Take a cue from my very Darling one. When your wife is a pyscho nesting preggo, indulge her need to rearrange furniture and neaten up rooms. It is the most unbelievable thing you can do for her, and it will make her very happy.

Posted on June 1, 2010 June 11, 2018
Today we have a guest blogger, the renowned podcastress Miette, who sends us this report from far-off Scandinavia:
At the Bergen Akvariet, make your way past the wiry-eyed motorhead feeding dead rats to crocodiles from the safe viewing distance of two rows of chicken wire fencing. Continue past the petting tank and the iguana. Find the big tropical tank of caiman and assorted ancillary amphibians. In the bottom front corner, in plain sight if you're looking, you'll see two turtles, no bigger in size than a matching set of Smørbrød saucers. They appear to be beating the carapacial shit out of each other.
Well, that's a little hyperbolic. But not by much.
This is what's going on: one turtle is pawing in the gravel and grime lining the bottom of the tank, digging for food, or treasure, or an escape route, at exactly the pace you'd expect of such a beast. Then the other guy (or maybe it's a girl, but for the sake of this analogy it's not too important), who's obviously working hard on his air of indifference, slowly approaches. When the Feigner makes his way within inches of him, the Digger stops, turns around suddenly (again, suddenly being relative here; to these guys, seconds are measured in continental drift), faces his intruder, stretches out his front legs in front of him, and pedals them as quickly as he can to send a quick-beating little dissuasive wave of water thumping in the face of his trespasser. Maybe this is mildly distracting reptilian semaphore for "back off," or perhaps it fucks with the offender more seriously, sending some sort of echolocative supersonics back to the central wiring. In any event, it's enough for the unwanted visitor to about-face, leaving our original turtle back to his excavatory devices.
But only for a minute, because the would-be companion is back before long, and back again and again, in continued failed efforts to help with the burrowing, or to come up with an escape plan, or just to collude on a prank against the caiman. The two are stuck in this tank ad infinitum, after all, and may as well get to know one another. But the digger's having none of it, and will continue to go on this way long after it's stopped being funny, or curious, or sad, and long after you stop watching and move on to the next thing [the mysterious Dodraugen (Toilet Monster)].
Maybe they're angry. We don't know – maybe they have good reason to be mad. Maybe the approaching turtle once made a pass at one of the frogs up on the log, maybe even the cute little Pool Frog whose pain our sad tunneler is now trying to dig away. Or maybe the interloper's very presence is stealing the thunder that could be met by a bout of educational front-row digging. It takes a lot to compete in a tank of over two hundred species, after all. Maybe there's not a problem at all; maybe our miner just wants to be left alone. Nothing wrong with that, right?
Actually, there is, and it's time to let up. In a tank full of the indifferent and the predatory, on full display for otherworldly tourists, fifty feet from the madman protecting you from crocodiles with fencing used to support garden peas, and it's clear that they're all they've got. Even if there was some sort of cardinal offence involving the world's most batty-eyed, full-lipped, tongue-darting Pool Frog, they need to reassess the severity of that crime and find their way around it. There's no such thing as minding one's own business in a tank like this. They're going to need each other.
You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side (Morrissey/Nevin)
A few months back, the Independent had an article about neurobiologists at University College London who were studying the physical nature of hate. After conducting their experiments, these scientists discovered that the "hate circuit" in the brain was located in the putamen and the insula — the exact same regions activated by feelings of romantic love. No way!
In fact, their scans revealed only one major difference between the two emotional states: "Large parts of the cerebral cortex — associated with judgement and reasoning — become de-activated during love, whereas only a small area is deactivated in hate." Science, you are killing me!
And once again lighting up my own worn and beleaguered putamen and insula, The Rolling Stones. This is me on acoustic, recorded live on Jeff Cobb's KALX radio show, back in the Berkeley days. I think this later became the very first song the All Girl Band played at our very first gig.
Mixed Emotions (Jagger/Richards)
Blammo!
"Peculiar Way" is from a batch of songs recorded back in the 90s at Kris Woolsey's apartment in the West Village. In those pre-Garageband days, if someone got their hands on a decent four-track machine you simply had to take advantage. I forget who left the device at Kris's house, or why, but its very presence in his living room demanded from us a long day of single-malt recording. I think we worked on 3 or 4 songs, new stuff of his and mine that we wanted to whip into shape.
The skeleton of this song came from a bunch of scratch cassettes I made in Florida, at my grandmother's house, during one of many New-York-nervous-breakdown sabbaticals. I wanted it to foretell of a life-changing encounter, but in reality my life wasn't changing that way and the song never got finished.
The nominal chorus came later, separately, and was a more characteristic expression of drunken resentment. I thought this provided a nice, truer-to-life counterpoint to the imagined epiphany. So, at Kris's, with the help of a few tumblers of Laphroaig, I simply stitched the pieces together. And not completely successfully, I might needlessly add. (The All-Girl Band only played this song once, at a Coney Island gig where some poor kid got shot on the Boardwalk and we had to make our getaway dash in a loaner Humvee.)
But the song made more sense to me balanced out like that, despite the slapdash needlework. Occasionally you meet a person whose brief appearance in your life is both decisive and abrupt — someone who simply bowls you over, as instantaneous and elemental as a tidal wave. When the wave recedes (often carrying away many things you thought irreplaceably dear), the effect can leave you feeling disoriented and traumatized, or reawakened and revitalized. And more to the point, sometimes all of the above.
Peculiar Way
What is peculiar 'bout the way
Is I had nothing more to say
And suddenly
Knocked my eyes wide open
Like a castle by the sea
You knocked my eyes way out of focus
And then a most peculiar thought
Occurred to me
Going against all I'd been taught
You thought I was too drunk to remember
All the little lies that I was told
But the simple fact is I remember
Every single one

A Little Money Riding On The Maple Leafs
People have been asking me when I'm going to post something about Halifax, but I'm not sure what more I can say other than I felt very much at home there, something I rarely feel in The Rotten Apple anymore.
Halifax is a spectacular city (er, I mean "regional municipality") — historic, cosmopolitan, grimy, gorgeous, soulful and maybe even a little dangerous. Everything New York used to be but mostly isn't anymore. The downtown is teeming with delicious food, used bookstores, music venues, public gardens, old Victorians, old stone and red brick buildings, a couple of colleges, and some very intriguing people. And it stays open late. All this surrounded by the Atlantic and a huge, ancient, and very active port. (Yeah, I know it's not perfect — the global corporate revolution has certainly made its incursions even there, and a fair amount of tourist crap abounds, especially down around the "seaport" area.)
And I know we've talked before here about "geographical cures" and the very true and unavoidable fact that "wherever you go, there you are." But a human being is just a coalescence of energy, in a constant state of flux and exchange with the energy of his or her environment. So it makes sense to me that certain kinds of environments would provide more spiritual resonance to some people than others, and that there are other kinds of environments which impose energy exchanges that are spiritually harmful to all.
The song below I wrote specifically for Amanda — her voice, her sensibility — and this version appears on her new album, Union Square. (We ended up finishing the song together, and she wrote about half the verse lyrics.) A song of romantic searching, yes, but there's a problem: once you've reached a certain point of of Devastationalist stasis, is the disturbance worth the effort to go on looking? Put another way, if home is where the heart is, then where do you belong when you've got no heart left?
Show Me a Place (Shelley/Thorpe)
Amanda Thorpe
Never wanted anything
And everything was fine
As long as there were cigarettes
And another glass of wine
Nothing in the world out there
Could ever bother anything of mine
I found a place so high
I'm never coming
Down into the wishing well
Is where I cast my eye
I saw my own black silhouette
Reflect against the sky
I stood and watched the pennies fall
Leaned against the cold stone wall
I made a wish so wild
Won't you show me a place
Like the one in my mind
Where the days are sweet and long
In the green, green grass
With my hand in yours
Where the noise turns into song
Expectations crystalize
They're scattered all around
I see them lying everywhere
Like my pennies on the ground
But I can't hide from you
The light keeps shining through
Down into to the depths behind
The walls I built inside
The things I never wanted
The things I never tried
Everything was in its place
Everything was once so safe
I hold the glass so tight

A Concordance Of Hearts
Around the time that the splendidly unsettling documentary Grizzly Man was released, Werner Herzog gave an interview to Psychology Today where he scoffed poignantly at our cultural tendency to overuse rational introspection as a means of trying to understand those things which, to his way of thinking, are only apprehensible through non-rational means:
Do you have any formal interest in psychology?
I loathe psychology as one of the major faults of our civilization nowadays. There's something not right about this amount of introspection. I can only give you a metaphor: When you move into an apartment, you cannot start to illuminate every last corner with neon light. If there are no dark corners or hidden niches, your house becomes uninhabitable. Human beings who are trying to self-reflect and explore their innermost being to the last corner become uninhabitable people.
Let's not forget that psychology isn't just about introspection; it can shed light on other people.
No, you can understand others by other means. By dint of compassion, you understand other people, and there is a concordance of hearts. That is something different. Move away from psychology and engage in concordance of hearts.
I think that last bit especially is stunning, and true. And even though I believe our society is not nearly introspective enough, I think I know what he means. The act of examination cannot help but alter the thing which is being examined, often to its detriment. And too often, especially when whatever is under examination has been created (and is perhaps being ever-so-delicately maintained) by non-rational forces, rational observation simply destroys, in its blundering way, the thing which is being observed.
Also, because our world is so parodically self-conscious, it does sometimes seem like there's a whole lotta introspection going on. But self-consciousness and introspection are not nearly the same thing, and what mostly ends up passing for introspection under contemporary circumstances is a fun-house mirror loop of quick-fix, self-help schemes that actually enable one to avoid the arduous process of genuine, non-excessive self-reflection in the pursuit of spiritual growth.
And here are the Mystery Dates again, coming down hard, I think, on the side of anti-introspection. This time Danny is singing, as he normally did, recorded live at CBGBs.
The Mystery Dates
I know it's you
It's a little sad
We could've had
When we're together
It's not much fun
Drips splash and drips careen
They're all over my windscreen
I don't mean for this to sound too mean
But when the drips bash I go out for Visine®
Wicker & Palm
This is the Mystery Dates (Danny Wattenberg singing, me on guitar and singing, Gideon Rosen — who, incidentally, makes an excellent case against epistemic relativism here — on keys, John Fousek on drums, and the long-lost John Travis on bass), from a cassette of a demo that was produced by our Mamaroneck homeboy Peter Denenberg. I think this song is about being romantically involved with someone who is becoming accustomed to breathing more rarefied air than you could ever hope to provide. (I also think it's the only time I ever sang lead in the Mystery Dates.)
I wrote the verse and chorus after a drunken week on Martha's Vineyard, besotted with a girl called Laura Resen, which accounts for the semi-pun in the chorus. I remember Gideon at rehearsal fancifying and fussing around with the basic chords I brought in. Later on he and Danny came up with the bridge part — maybe the whole band contributed to the bridge, I don't remember — but it's definitely Danny's words and melody.
Wicker & Palm (Mystery Dates)
You got a nice house with wicker and palm
And a chandelier
You got a nice house but I'd change a few things
If I had to live there
Reasons, they're not so clear now
But they're happy, happy at home
I've got nothing to fear now
'Cause I'm happy, happy at home
Winter's coming to this place
Now let's prepare
Storm doors, storm doors
Can't predict the weather here
How come there's no Maypo
For my breakfast, dear?
Casey's come back from the Cape
But she's not like I knew her
Not like I knew her
It's Not The Money, Man
This is a "lost" song from the try-anything time just before the Nightmares were formed. It was recorded for a vinyl compilation of Columbia bands some guy was putting out. I didn't have a band at the time, so Gid and I just put it together ad hoc with whoever was around from the uptown pool: Dave Capello on drums, Steve "Blood" Bernstein on trumpet, Tex (in our first real collaboration) played all the guitars, John Travis played bass, and Carrie Hamilton sang the backup vocals. Gid basically produced the thing, played some organ and scribbled musical notation on napkins.
An earlier incarnation of this song had served as the cornerstone of the Mystery Dates, the short-lived, post-Student Teachers band I formed with Danny Wattenberg, who had fronted the very popular Casuals. Danny wrote the lyrics for the second verse. The first verse I wrote, and it's basically true. A girl called Lori Lane did indeed once try to kill me with a BB gun. (She also once toppled a bookcase on top of me. As a matter of fact, she also once had me trapped in an alcove on the stairway landing outside her apartment on Claremont Ave. while she bombarded me from her doorway with what seemed to be an endless supply of Miller pony bottles. All of Lori's neighbors popped their heads out to witness the calamity. No one thought to call the cops, but they did seem to enjoy the show.)
(Shelley/Wattenberg)
They had a wicked night
And ended it before they even got in bed
She took the BB gun and loaded it
And pointed it right at his head
She looked so wild he said, I must collect
She said, I haven't got the bread
She wasn't being very rational
He looked into her eyes and said
He said, It's not the money, man
It's my angel
Give me back my angel
His erotic dream
Was that she danced naked on the fire escape
She held a blue book to each breast
And in her navel there was grape
Now, the cockfights were in progress four flights down
The sound of wagers filtered all the way up
He was impatient as he said this to her shadow
Cast upon the drape

Better pay for doctors won't cure what ails the system
Posted on June 26, 2017 in Health Delivery System
TheStar.com – News/Canada – No one doubts individual doctors work hard. But Ontario needs a system that works smart, not just hard.
June 26, 2017. By MARTIN REGG COHN, Ontario Politics Columnist
Doctors complain they are overworked and underpaid in an underfunded system.
Society admires the dedication of individual doctors. But when the system itself is ailing, Ontario's 36,000 physicians are endowed with no magical healing powers, nor any monopoly on remedies.
As a lobby group fighting for the financial interests of its members, the Ontario Medical Association has been at war with the government — and itself — for years. Their default narrative is that the province undervalues their hard work, and that the budget is starved of cash.
But which budget?
The overall health-care budget of $54 billion, which soaks up roughly 42 per cent of the nearly $130 billion the government spends on programs every year?
Or the nearly $12 billion budgeted for physician compensation every year?
The latter figure is a leading indicator (and determinant) of how the overall health budget turns out (and up), because physicians inevitably play the role of gatekeeper: ordering tests, writing prescriptions, booking follow-up visits, referring patients to other specialists.
It is a vital role, for which doctors are highly trained. But the idea that physician pay — not just the agreed fee, but the frequency of billings — should be uncontrolled, ungoverned, and unaccounted for by anyone other than doctors is unsustainable.
And it is at the centre of the ongoing dispute between the government and the OMA, and within the OMA itself.
On one side is the ministry of health, which is headed by doctors: Dr. Eric Hoskins and his deputy, Dr. Bob Bell. On the other side is the OMA, which is also run by doctors.
After years of disagreement, the OMA's executive finally reached a compromise with the government last summer that boosted the overall physician compensation envelope by 2.5 per cent a year (with a mechanism of clawbacks triggered if the budgeted amount was exceeded).
But the OMA's then-president, Dr. Virginia Walley, failed to win over the overall membership. Facing open rebellion, she resigned — to be replaced by a leading dissident, Dr. Nadia Alam (president-elect) and the current head, Dr. Shawn Whatley.
The OMA membership and leadership is itself held hostage by members with the most affluence and influence — notably radiologists and ophthalmologists who are profiting from technological advances that allow them to bill faster, higher, than lesser-paid physicians. Attempts to renegotiate the relative gaps in the fee schedule animated last year's revolt.
That doctors of goodwill on opposite sides of the table — and even on the same side — keep disagreeing with one another is hardly surprising. There are no easy answers to the puzzle of a medicare system that remains our pride and joy but is stuck in time a half-century after its inception.
We are only now taking belated baby steps toward pharmacare, and finally turning our minds — and money — to home care. Denticare — a key component of wellness — remains out of sight and mind. These are the competing pressures on a health-care budget that is imprisoned in the past, treating physicians like the independent contractors they insisted on remaining when a grand bargain was struck in the mid-1960s for universal health care.
That means most physicians are still paid on a fee-for-service basis that takes little account of efficiencies, synergies, outcomes and volumes. It is a piecework system that remains cloaked in secrecy, because the OMA continues to oppose full transparency in disclosing who gets how much from OHIP every year.
Ontario's doctors argue that they are underpaid, despite being the best paid in Canada. They counter that per-patient fees are lower here, and that their total incomes are high only because their patient volumes are so high. But that is small consolation to a government trying to control costs, or at least reallocate them to get the biggest bang for the buck.
No one doubts that individual doctors work hard. But in aggregate, Ontario needs a system that works smart, not just hard.
A fee for service system that rewards patient volumes over patient vitals is dumb and dated. More than merely gatekeepers, doctors must be partners — and part of an overall system that is integrated and responsive.
Former chief justice Warren Winkler, chosen as a mediator by both sides, warned in 2015 that they were on a "collision course." The OMA rejected his recommendations summarily, which the government imposed unilaterally. Two years later, they are trying again, with another chief justice set to try mediation and arbitration if necessary.
With nearly $12 billion distributed among more than 36,000 doctors, the stakes are high in lives and livelihoods. In sheer dollar volume the figure is comparable to the annual spending of a major national corporation or government operation, which no one would leave to its own devices.
Doctors cannot be responsible for delivering all the efficiencies that must be found in the system, or to behave like customer service agents at an airport boarding gate. But at some point the government and the OMA will have to come together and acknowledge that if both sides want better patient outcomes, it's more complicated than providing better pay for doctors.

A biography on Woodrow Wilson and his role in the Suffrage Movement.
Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States. Often remembered for the large role he played in ending World War I with his Fourteen Points plan, Wilson also greatly impacted the woman suffrage movement. He was a scholar for most of his life, the president of Princeton University, and the governor of New Jersey.
Wilson was born on December 28, 1856 in Staunton, Virginia. Wilson's father was a Presbyterian minister, so the family moved from church to church. By the time Wilson was two the family moved to Augusta, Georgia where Wilson spent most of his childhood. While Wilson's father was raised in the North, he quickly took up Southern values and politics. The family then moved to Columbia, South Carolina when Wilson was a teenager. Wilson grew up in the South during the Civil War; he saw his mother tend wounded Confederate soldiers and even saw General Robert E. Lee pass through town as a Union prisoner.
Wilson first attended Davidson College in North Carolina but quickly transferred to Princeton University. He graduated from Princeton in 1879, and then went on to law school at the University of Virginia. Wilson, however, dropped out after his first year and moved back home. While at home he continued to study law and in 1882 Wilson passed the Georgia bar examination. He and a friend then set up a law firm in Atlanta, Georgia. After about a year, Wilson had become bored with law and decided to go back to school. He went to Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, to study history and political science. He received his Ph.D. in 1886. Wilson taught at Bryn Mawr College until 1888 and then went on to Wesleyan University to teach for another two years. For his book, The State, Wilson was asked to teach law and political economy at Princeton.
In 1902, Wilson became the president of Princeton University. He was the first Princeton president who was not a clergyman. Wilson quickly began changing the old Ivy League school into a modern liberal university. Instead of the large lectures that had traditionally been given, Wilson copied Oxford University's model. Small groups of students were tutored by an instructor. For the first four years of his presidency Wilson's changes were accepted, but then starting in 1906 issues began to arise. Wilson wanted to build a new graduate school in the middle of campus, but was stopped by a dean. He also wanted to get rid of exclusive eating clubs and residential houses, to be replaced by common dining rooms and dormitories. Alumni and faculty refused to support this idea.
Approached by the New Jersey Democratic Party, Wilson agreed to run for governor of New Jersey. In 1910, he was elected and served one term. He called for election reform, wanting to rid the state of machine politics. These reforms caught the attention of the national Democratic Party.
Elected President of the United States in 1913, Wilson had many foreign and domestic issues to take on. Women's suffrage was at a critical point and Europe was almost in crisis. The day before his second inauguration, Alice Paul helped organized a march of eight thousand women, protesting for suffrage. Despite this parade, Wilson was able to ignore suffrage during most of his first term. The Republican Party had been split for the election and Wilson was able to hide behind the Democratic platform. He did vote yes to woman's suffrage in the New Jersey state election on October 19, 1915. Wilson announced only days before on the October 6th that he planned to vote for it; saying "I believe the time has come to extend the privilege and responsibility to the women of the State, but I shall vote…only upon my private conviction. I believe that it should be settled by the State and not by the National Government…"
This however, was not the case during his second term. Beginning in January of 1917, suffragists picketed outside of the White House day and night. They held signs and demanded their rights. By March these women were being arrested for disrupting traffic. It was not until his speech before Congress in 1918, that Wilson finally publicly endorsed woman's suffrage by the federal government. It is believed that women's roles during World War I helped Wilson see the need for suffrage. However, it would take another year before there were enough votes in Congress to support the passage of the 19th Amendment. It then took another year for enough states to ratify the amendment.
While still in office, in 1919, Wilson suffered a stroke. He was able to finish out his term, but was never as active. Wilson retired to his private home in Washington, D.C. once Harding became president in 1921. He and Bainbridge Colby tried to open a law firm, but it was clear Wilson did not have the energy. In August of 1923, Wilson published an essay encouraging an enlightened foreign policy, "The Road Away from Revolution." Wilson died in his D.C. home on February 3, 1924.

Oli, I know a new version has been released yesterday but would it be possible to add this airport before the next version?
Not sure if this has been requested before - too many pages to check!
Yes, it has. That's why I will hide your request, following this thread's rules.
By the way, Martin, what is the problem to check? Regardless of the number of pages, it takes a few seconds!
I will also hide my post some time later as I want you to read it first.

Better known by his nom de guerre Pol Pot, Saloth Sar was born in 1925 in a small village called Prek Sbauv, which is situated about 100 miles north of Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital. His family owned 50 acres of rice paddy, or about 10 times the national average, and was relatively affluent. Pol Pot moved to Phnom Penh in 1934, where he spent one year at a Buddhist monastery prior to attending a French Catholic primary school. He continued his Cambodian education until he went to Paris on a scholarship in 1949. While in Paris he became active in communist circles and studied radio technology.
Upon his return to Cambodia in January of 1953, the whole nation was revolting against French colonial rule. Later that year, Cambodia officially gained its independence. Meanwhile, Pol Pot joined the proto-communist Khmer People's Revolutionary Party (KPRP), which, under the auspices of the North Vietnamese, had been set up in 1951. Pol Pot taught French literature, geography and history from 1956 to 1963 at a private school while plotting a revolution at the same time.
Pol Pot assisted in the reorganization of the KPRP in 1960 into a party that specifically espoused Marxism-Leninism. Following a clampdown on communist activity, three years later he and other party leaders moved deep into the countryside, encamping initially with a group of Viet Cong. Pol Pot, who had started to come out as Cambodian party chief, and the recently formed Khmer Rouge guerilla army began a national uprising in 1968. Their revolution picked up slowly, though they were successful in gaining a foothold in the sparsely populated northeast.
General Lon Nol launched a coup while Prince Norodom Sihanouk – Cambodia's hereditary leader – was out of the country in March 1970. Then a civil war broke out in which the Prince allied himself with the Khmer Rouge and Lon Nol got the backing of the United States. Both Lon Nol and Khmer Rouge's troops apparently committed mass atrocities. Simultaneously, roughly 70,000 South Vietnamese and United States soldiers stormed across the border to battle Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops who had taken sanctuary there. Richard Nixon, the US president, also ordered a secret bombing campaign included in the Vietnam War. Over the course of four years, 500,000 tons of bombs were dropped by US planes on Cambodia, over three times the amount dropped during World War II on Japan.
By the end of the US bombing campaign in August 1973, the amount of Khmer Rouge troops had increased significantly, and they now controlled about three-quarters of the territory of Cambodia. Not long after that, they started shelling Phnom Penh with artillery and rockets. In January 1975 a final assault of the refugee-filled capital began, with the Khmer Rouge blockading river crossings and bombarding the airport. A US airlift of supplies was not successful in preventing thousands of children from starving. On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge went into the city and finally ended the fighting. Roughly half a million Cambodians had died during the war, but the worst was yet to come.
Almost immediately after seizing power, the Khmer Rouge evacuated Phnom Penh's 2.5 million residents. Teachers, doctors, former civil servants and other professionals were stripped of their belongings and forced to labour in the fields as part of a reeducation process. Those who broke rules, concealed their rations or complained about work were generally tortured in a detention centre, such as the infamous S-21, and then killed. The bones of those who died from inadequate healthcare or malnutrition also filled up mass graves across Cambodia.
The state controlled all aspects of a person's life, under Pol Pot. Private property, money, gambling, jewelry, religion and most reading material were outlawed; children were taken from their homes and forced into the military; agriculture was collectivized; and strict rules governing clothing, vocabulary and sexual relations were laid down. The Khmer Rouge renamed the country Democratic Kampuchea and even insisted on realigning rice fields so that they could create the symmetrical checkerboard illustrated on their coat of arms.
Initially, Pol Pot governed from behind the scenes. In 1976 he became Prime Minister after Sihanouk resigned. Border battles were happening frequently between the Vietnamese and the Cambodians by that time. In 1977 the fighting intensified, and the Vietnamese sent over 60,000 troops, along with artillery and air units, across the border in 1978. They captured Phnom Penh on January 7, 1979 and forced Pol Pot to flee into the jungle, where he continued guerilla operations.
The Khmer Rouge received political support from the United States, which opposed the ten-year-long Vietnamese occupation, and arms from China throughout the 1980s. However, the Khmer Rouge's influence started to decrease after a ceasefire agreement in 1991, and the movement totally collapsed by the end of the decade. A Khmer Rouge splinter group captured Pol Pot in 1997 and placed him under house arrest. On April 15, 1998, he died in his sleep due to heart failure. Until now, a United Nations-backed tribunal has only convicted a handful of Khmer Rouge leaders of crimes against humanity.
