Westpac Foundation is to award $800,000 in funding to local Not for Profit organisations in its biggest community grants program to date.
Not for Profit organisations can now apply for a funding boost of up to $10,000 each through the Program.
The Foundation, in partnership with Westpac, will be supporting local organisations whose innovative ideas make a real difference in their community.
Specifically, the grants address social disadvantage by funding organisations that create better futures for youth at risk, people living with disability, Indigenous Australians and people from refugee backgrounds building a new life in Australia.
The Foundation is supported by staff members from across Westpac who have contributed over $270,000 during 2014, enabling the Westpac Foundation to give away more Community Grants this year.
Since 1999, Westpac Foundation has been supporting Australian communities through grants worth more than $28 million to more than 300 Not for Profit organisations.
"We are also proud to this year provide Community Grants recipients with non-financial support, leveraging the skills and expertise of the Westpac Group for the benefit of our grantees. This will include capability-building opportunities like mentoring and financial education. We know that organisations really benefit and prosper when they have this combined support," Yetton said.
Grant applications are open from Thursday 19th February until Tuesday 24 March. Applicants will be assessed by Westpac Foundation in partnership with Westpac employees. Recipients will then be approved by the Westpac Foundation Board and announced in June 2015.

Westpac Foundation is a charitable organisation that invests in enterprises taking a fresh approach to addressing social problems, borrowing the best from business to create more opportunity for Australia's most disadvantaged. While being independent, the Foundation considers The Westpac Group to be its greatest supporter.
Since 1999, The Westpac Foundation has granted more than $28 million to more than 300 Not for Profit organisations and remains steadfast in its goal to be a catalyst for improving community wellbeing in Australia.

Many homebuyers feel overwhelmed when it's time to think about financing; where do you start? Of course, this depends on where you are in your financial situation. Do you have a stable income (for at least 6-12 months)? A satisfactory credit score (620 and above)? What about down-payment? If all is in place, you could be qualified for a pre-approval. Ideally, an educated homebuyer knows how much they can afford before they start shopping for a house.
Pre-Assessment: Set up a meeting with your mortgage agent to discuss your options based on a quick assessment. Your agent will try to determine your goals and preferences (remember, their services are free to you and they are vowed to provide only unbiased advice).
Begin a mortgage application: After having a realistic conversation about your down-payment and affordability, your agent will ask you to fill out a mortgage application to get a precise idea of where you would be approved. Your agent has access to over 90 banks, credit unions and private lenders and only needs to pull your credit report once (this protects your credit score).You will also need to provide supporting documents to confirm your income; usually 2 years T4 slips and NOA's, 3 current pay stubs and 2 pieces of ID. Your down-payment and current debts will be taken in consideration when determining how much you can be approved for. If you've already started looking for a home, the purchase and sale agreement, MLS and contact information of real estate agent and lawyer will also be required.
Review: Your mortgage agent will review your application and credit report and will discuss with you how much you can afford based on your GDS and TDS (your Gross Debt Service and Total Debt Service). Usually, these numbers need to be below 32% in order for a lender to approve you. Your mortgage agent will also explain to you what the Stress Test is and how much you will qualify for. If your application doesn't meet lender requirements yet, your mortgage agent will help you adjust your credit and application in order to get you approved! Fret not, there are still many options left.
Submit: After your mortgage agent is confident you have a strong application, they will submit it to a lender that best fits your financial situation. It is also their job to communicate your situation to the lender and make a compelling case. Once again, if you don't fit requirements yet, fret not as there are many options left.
Pre-approval! If all goes well, you will receive a commitment letter from the lender and a 90 day lock in rate (this means they will offer to hold the rate you qualified for until the house closes). In the meantime, you are to provide the outstanding documents asked for in the commitment letter in order to make sure all conditions are met. Your mortgage agent will guide you through this process while you shop for the home of your dreams! Remember, this is not the time to buy a new car or make any drastic changes in your financial situation.
The mortgage process doesn't need to feel overwhelming. Your mortgage agent will guide you every step of the way and help you get approved!

Lucy is best known to Australian audiences for her portrayal of Lillian Armfield, Australia's first female cop in the top rating TV series, Underbelly: Razor. She has also appeared on screen in many other TV shows including: Love Child, Tricky Business, Eating Media Lunch and Shortland Street. And on the big screen in numerous short films and a couple of features. But her first love was the stage, where she has played leading roles in many productions including: Shakespeare's As You Like It; Belvoir Street's The Sweetest Thing; the runaway hit, The Women and her own multi-character solo show, Salon 71.
In between all this, she has worked extensively as a voiceover artist, voicing TV and radio commercials including: Olay, Clear Shampoo, United Union, Ile de la Reunion, Prime Television, Paper Plus, Arbuckles, Sureslim, Mizone, Kia Cars, Trivial Pursuit, Outward Bound and Superbank.
She has also narrated a couple of documentaries and an extensive campaign for the Merril J Fernando (Dilmah) Foundation in Sri Lanka.
Her love of devising characters onstage has given her the tools to bring to life various animated characters. In fact, Lucy got her first ever acting role playing Bad Jelly the Witch (aged 7) because she had the best cackle at her primary school…a skill she has been honing on various nasty characters since.
On the flipside, her warm, comforting tones also provided the welcoming voice at the end of the phone for the Department of Child, Youth and Family in NZ.
Lucy also loves to travel which has given her a great ear for accents. Combining this with her acting experience has made her very comfortable working in a variety of accents including: Australian, New Zealand, Standard American, various UK accents and French (which she also speaks fluently, having lived there for a few years).

Tampa couple's divorce could challenge same-sex marriage ban
A Tampa couple's case illustrates the difficulty of dissolving a union granted in another state.
By Leonora LaPeter Anton
Published March 24 2014
Updated March 25 2014
TAMPA — A few months ago, Mariama Changamire Shaw called the courthouse in the small town of Sunderland, Mass., where she married her wife four years ago. Could she file for divorce in Massachusetts even though she and her wife now lived in Florida, she asked.
The answer exposed a reality that few gay couples consider when they wed in one of the 17 states that allow same-sex unions: a move to a new state can make it almost impossible to legally end the marriage.
To divorce in Massachusetts, Changamire Shaw would have to live there for a year, which was unfeasible since they both live in Florida. So on Jan. 15, Changamire Shaw filed for divorce in Hillsborough County, even though in 2008 Florida outlawed same-sex unions.
On Monday, her attorneys notified Attorney General Pam Bondi that the couple has signed a marital settlement agreement and — in what may be the first case of its kind in Florida — plans to challenge Florida's same-sex marriage ban. (A lawsuit filed Jan. 21 by six couples in South Florida who want to wed also seeks to overturn the ban.)
On Thursday, Changamire Shaw, 47, and her spouse, Keiba Lynn Shaw, 45, were scheduled to attend an uncontested divorce hearing in front of Circuit Judge Laurel M. Lee. On Monday, one of Changamire Shaw's attorneys, Brett Rahall, received an email from the judge changing the Thursday hearing to a status conference instead.
Rahall and co-counsel Ellen Ware anticipate the judge will reject the divorce request. So they submitted their argument in advance so they can bring it up should they need to appeal. They argue that the divorce does not violate the marriage ban since it would eradicate the marriage. They also argue the marriage ban violates the equal protection clause of the Florida and U.S. Constitutions.
"I am motivated by injustice and wanting to help people understand there are real consequences to this," said Changamire Shaw, who is an adjunct professor of communication at the University of Tampa. "Non-recognition is a communication of 'you are not worthy, you are not right, you are not human enough to be recognized.' "
Keiba Lynn Shaw, a physical therapist, said she believes the state law should change. "All rights that are afforded people who are heterosexual should be afforded to same-sex couples, as well," she said. But she would prefer to keep her privacy.
The couple wed on Feb. 5, 2010, at the Sunderland courthouse in western Massachusetts. They moved to Tampa in 2011. The couple separated last October. The agreement, which was reached following a collaborative divorce proceeding, prevents the couple from disclosing details about their relationship.
With limited financial resources, Changamire Shaw, who is pursuing a doctorate degree in communication, reached out to Lambda Legal, a gay rights legal organization. It referred her to Rahall, who is also gay and married. After filing the case, the attorneys decided to proceed with a collaborative divorce, a process that can take a fraction of the time of more adversarial divorces.
"A petition for divorce typically involves requests and accusations," said Keiba Lynn Shaw's attorney, Adam B. Cordover. "What we try to do is not file anything until the parties have reached a full resolution."
The Shaws signed an agreement after two five-hour meetings. The agreement said they would not communicate with each other again, that Keiba Lynn Shaw would give a lump sum payment to Mariama M. Changamire Shaw and that each was responsible for her own attorneys fees. Changamire Shaw would return to using her maiden name.
The settlement agreement mentions a boy born in Haiti in 2009 — before the couple married — and adopted by Keiba Lynn Shaw. The boy will remain with her. Haiti does not allow gay adoption. Changamire Shaw cannot talk about it. But when she is asked about the child, tears fill her eyes.
The Shaw divorce is apparently not the first same-sex divorce to be filed in Florida.
Elizabeth Schwartz, an attorney representing same-sex couples seeking to wed in South Florida, said judges have granted several same-sex divorces "without any publicity." And one other South Florida couple has appealed a divorce denial to the 3rd District Court of Appeal. That case does not challenge the marriage ban, Schwartz said.
The Shaw case would not be the first divorce to challenge marriage bans in the United States. The Wyoming Supreme Court did not strike down its marriage ban but made it legal for all couples to divorce. And in Texas, attorneys for several divorcing couples are waiting to hear if the Texas Supreme Court will strike down the same-sex marriage ban.
"Gay people are as capable of good and weakness as any other people," said Evan Wolfson, an attorney and gay rights advocate who founded the organization, Freedom to Marry. "And that's why they need the freedom to marry and they also need the rules and protections that come with divorce."

Monte Lesima round excursion
From Piani di Lesima (1194 m above sea level), at the corner of a small soccer field, follow the untarmacked road on the left, with signs to Passo La Colla (path no. 9). The path goes slightly uphill through the woods, from which you can take a glimpse of Piani di Lesima and Monte Lesima, then you reach Passo La Colla (1350 m). The path curves on the left towards path no. 101 with signs to Passo Giovà, leading you to a thick beech wood. The ascent is at times steep, but you will reach the wood on top of Monte La Colla (1438 m) from where you can get to Monte Terme (1489 m) through meadows and undulated hills. The path continues downwards through the fields towards Passo della Ritorta, beyond which the path ascends. Bordering the wood and through it, you should reach a fork, leave path no. 101 towards Passo Giovà and continue on the left towards no. 101y with signs to Monte Lesima. The path continues on grassy hills, sometimes on a steep cline, until you reach Monte Tartago (1688 m). The view here is on the objective, follow the tarmacked road. Turn left and follow the road for about 400 metres and you shall reach the top of Monte Lesima (1724 m), where there is a huge cross and a balloon-shaped radar station. Then continue on path no. 123 that goes downhill bordering a precipice, until you get to a grassy plain. Turn right and continue for about 100 m, then turn left walking through the grass and into the wood. A delicate descent will take you on the tarmacked road close by a picnic area (1359 m). Turn left and follow the tarmacked road towards Piani di Lesima. The circle is closed.
Path: 10 Km for about 600 m
Round trekking, about 2 hours and 50 minutes.
http://www.valboreca.aponet.it/
Once in Zerba, turn right on the road leading to the village church. The road becomes narrow and continues in the wood. After several curves and 8 km, you should reach Piani di Lesima where you can leave your car.

Q: How to get table/column usage statistics in Redshift I want to find which tables/columns in Redshift remain unused in the database in order to do a clean-up.
I have been trying to parse the queries from the stl_query table, but it turns out this is a quite complex task for which I haven't found any library that I can use.
Anyone knows if this is somehow possible?
Thank you!

A: The column question is a tricky one.  For table use information I'd look at stl_scan which records info about every table scan step performed by the system.  Each of these is date-stamped so you will know when the table was "used".  Just remember that system logging tables are pruned periodically and the data will go back for only a few days.  So may need a process to view table use daily to get extended history.
I ponder the column question some more. One thought is that query ids will also be provided in stl_scan and this could help in identifying the columns used in the query text.  For every query id that scans table_A search the query text for each column name of the table.  Wouldn't be perfect but a start.

SuperyachtNews.com - Technology - Is Titan a game-changer for electrical distribution on superyachts?
"We've done some studies on a 100m yacht and a 140m yacht and we're seeing upwards of 20 tons of copper cabling being saved and around €2.5 million euros of savings [on the overall build cost]," begins Mike Blake, president of Palladium Technologies. It's a jaw-dropping opening gambit, and immediately intriguing. He is talking about Palladium's new tech development for superyachts, a smart electrical distribution system that replaces large, centralised breaker boards with remote breaker clusters both to minimise cabling and to maximise the opportunities for next-level integration and control.
Named after the second generation of gods from Greek mythology, the system is called Titan and, for once, the name is not entirely hyperbole – Titan promises something of a potential revolution for onboard electrical systems. "It's a system I've been working on for quite some time," Blake tells SuperyachtNews. "It really addresses one wedge of the pie that I don't believe has been addressed up to this point in time with technology – the electrical systems on board superyachts. Builders have always wired up superyachts in the traditional way, with switchboards and distribution panels and long cable runs to the areas that need power." The switchboards, Blake explains, may have become a little bit more sophisticated, but the underlying designs haven't really changed in a century.
"It's a system I've been working on for quite some time," Blake tells SuperyachtNews. "It really addresses one wedge of the pie that I don't believe has been addressed up to this point."
The upshot is that rather than extensive cable runs from the traditional central distribution panels, a single high-amperage cable can deliver the power to Titan Intermediate Distribution Panels strategically located throughout the yacht, which can then feed the individual remote breaker units. Palladium's extensive case studies show that for a 110m build, the savings across the board are extensive – a 54 per cent saving in cabling cost; 67km less cabling and an 18-ton weight saving. Palladium calculates that this equates to a 62 per cent saving on installation labour costs, and a 13 per cent saving on the cost of the entire electrical system. What's more, because extensive cable runs are not required throughout the vessel, the individual yacht build modules can be prewired potentially resulting in reduced overall yacht build times.
The Carling breakers have been used on smaller leisure boats before, but it is their integration and enhanced functionality through Palladium's Titan system that really brings them to the forefront of superyacht systems design and implementation. What's more, Titan has complete Lloyd's Type Approval and EU certification already, and is available today.
Palladium Technologies is a partner of The Superyacht Forum 2018, which takes place at RAI Amsterdam from 12 to 14 November in association with METSTRADE. Last year's delegate list totalled close to 900 VIPs, key decision makers and professionals from across the superyacht sector, making The Superyacht Forum the world's leading event for pertinent discussion, lively and insightful workshops and unrivalled networking. TSF 2018's theme is 'The Customer Journey', with full programme details to be unveiled shortly. Click here for more information and to register your place at this must-attend event.

Did you know that nearly every home in America contains a microwave? In fact, data from the 2011 U.S. Census Bureau reports that an astonishing 97% of households have this device. While microwaves make meals for time-strapped people in mere seconds, is microwaving food bad for you?
Over the years, this standard household appliance has sparked much debate. Some argue microwaves kill nutrients in your food—or worse—they emit radiation in your environment. But others say microwaving your food shouldn't pose any serious health risks to you or your meal.
How Microwaves Work
According to an updated article by Harvard Health Publishing, "Microwave ovens cook food using waves of energy that are similar to radio waves but shorter. These waves are remarkably selective, primarily affecting water and other molecules that are electrically asymmetrical—one end positively charged and the other negatively charged. Microwaves cause these molecules to vibrate and quickly build up thermal (heat) energy."
Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) notes that microwave technology is used in many other industries, including television broadcasting, air and sea navigation, and cell phones.
Despite the prevalence of home microwaves and the associated technology, there's still a heap of conflicting viewpoints on this subject. So, who's right? Or, is it possible that people on both sides of the issue have some valuable insights?
Here, we'll examine some common myths to find out if the eats you're "nuking" maintain their nutritional value, if microwaves kill nutrients, or if they leak dangerous radiation into the air.
Myth 1: Microwaving Kills Nutrients
In reality, anytime food is exposed to heat, nutrients like vitamin C, omega fatty acids, and some antioxidants can be lost. But this applies to cooking in general, not just when you're using a microwave.
As reported by WHO, microwaving your food is a safe way to prepare it and it retains about the same level of nutrients as when you cook on a stovetop or in the oven.
When microwaving thicker foods like meat products, WHO provides the following recommendations to ensure safe cooking methods:
Cooking times will vary depending on the size and power of the microwave, and will also be affected by the density of the item you're heating.
Since microwave heating doesn't evenly permeate through thick food items, meat that's not thoroughly cooked may contain harmful microorganisms that make you sick.
To combat harmful bacteria when cooking in the microwave, WHO suggests letting your food "rest" for several minutes after you finish warming it to allow the heat to disperse throughout the item.
If you're thinking about microwaving your vegetables, Harvard Health Publishing advises heating your food rapidly, in the shortest amount of time, and with the least amount of water as possible. "As far as vegetables go, cooking them in water robs them of some of their nutritional value because the nutrients leach out into the cooking water," states the report.
Myth 2: Microwaving Increases Cancer Risk
The American Cancer Society (ACS) explains that radiation exposure exists on a spectrum; microwaves are on the low end, and things like x-rays, gamma rays, and UV radiation are on the high end of the scale.
"Microwaves do not use x-rays or gamma rays, and they do not make food radioactive," says the organization. Moreover, "When microwave ovens are used according to instructions, there is no evidence that they pose a health risk to people. In the United States, federal standards limit the amount of radiation that can leak from a microwave oven to a level far below what would harm people."
If you're like most people, you probably don't give a second thought to microwaving your food. But the truth is that broken microwaves can leak a higher amount of radiation. So what are the appropriate instructions you should abide by if you want to use your microwave safely? WHO has some suggestions:
You can reduce your exposure to microwaves by ensuring your machine works properly.
Neither the door nor the sealants should show signs of damage, and the sealants should be kept free of dirt and grime.
The door should open and close correctly and fit securely.
If your microwave or any of its parts are on the fritz, you should refrain from using it until the parts are fixed, or purchase a new one.
Myth 3: Any Non-Metal Dish Is Safe for the Microwave
Unfortunately, this is not the case. A 2011 study in Environmental Health Perspectives analyzed the chemical makeup of commercially-available, plastic products—from baby bottles to food packaging. Although many plastic containers are now labeled "microwave safe," or "BPA free," researchers discovered most of these plastic products leach chemicals with estrogenic activity (EA). The study reports that increased EA may contribute to health issues and be particularly problematic for fetal and juvenile mammals.
When you microwave plastic, it may hasten the breakdown of the container and allow the harmful chemicals to be released into your food at a faster rate. Thankfully, there's a solution to this issue—take the food out of the plastic container and use glass or ceramic dishes when microwaving instead.
To summarize, if you heat your food for the shortest amount of time required to cook it thoroughly, check your microwave for wear and tear and service it accordingly, and use glass or ceramic dishes, the overall consensus among health organizations is that microwave usage is safe. In the end, the convenience of eating vegetables or other healthy food options that you've microwaved outweighs the risks of not eating them at all.

"When I think of central banks, I think of alchemists," Faber, also known as Dr. Doom for his pessimistic views, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Thursday. "They were trying to mix all kinds of powders and chemicals to produce essentially gold. And they all failed," he said, although he noted that some alchemists did produce other useful chemicals during their ill-fated search for the precious metal. "But the central banks are just mixing water, in other words, paper money, and the results cannot be a favourable outcome in the long run."

Jan 19: Committing To Radical Kindness in 2023
The last few years have brought us an epidemic of incivility. The good news? Kindness is just as contagious as unkindness! So, it's up to each of us which contagion we want to spread.
While there are people who view kindness as weak and ineffectual, the truth is that kind people are the strongest among us.
But what practical strategies are there to take us beyond niceness, to genuine and powerful kindness?
Donna Cameron speaks to this from experience. During her career in nonprofit organizations and causes. she has seen kindness in action and been awed by its power to transform. While she considered herself a reasonably nice person (with occasional lapses into crankiness), she knew that true kindness was a step above. When she committed to a year of living kindly, she learned that it takes practice, patience, understanding . . . and a sense of humor!

Q: Disable HTML reporting for TestNG with Maven We run TestNG tests with Maven 3.0.5, Surefire 2.7.1, and TestNG 5.10.
We want to disable generation of HTML reports that are create under target/surefire-reports/Command line suite, the latter directory being a TestNG suite name. We believe that it's TestNG's reporter that creates a report, but despite the following configuration, the reporting cannot be disabled.
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <properties>
            <property>
                <name>usedefaultlisteners</name>
                <value>false</value>
            </property>
        </properties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Is there a way to switch off the HTML reporting? It takes a painful amount of time on each test run.

A: There is a bug with those versions of TestNG and Surefire, making configuring with the listeners not working. From Using Custom Listeners and Reporters in the Surefire documentation:

Unsupported versions: - TestNG 5.14.1 and 5.14.2: Due to an internal TestNG issue, listeners and reporters are not working with TestNG. Please upgrade TestNG to version 5.14.9 or higher. Note: It may be fixed in a future surefire version.

This probably affect 5.10 as well, so you need to upgrade to a newer version of TestNG. While at it, you can also upgrade Maven Surefire Plugin to the current latest, which is 2.19.1:
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
  <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
  <version>6.9.8</version> <!-- or 5.14.10 for the latest in 5.x branch -->
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

with
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.19.1</version>
  <configuration>
    <properties>
      <property>
        <name>usedefaultlisteners</name>
        <value>false</value>
      </property>
    </properties>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Is it worth adding that this will disable the HTML reports from being generated by TestNG, but Surefire itself will still generate an XML report. You can disable that one with the disableXmlReport parameter in the Surefire configuration.

The world's a lonesome place.
0 · 97 views · located in [1st Trial] The Reflection of Desire
a character in "A World's End", originally authored by zewei, as played by RolePlayGateway
A young man standing at 5 feet 7, Masi has black hair, and his grey-black eyes looked upon the world with a lonesome view.
His skin is surprisingly fair, an oddity in the world.
His body is small and thin. Small muscles can be seen on his arms and legs, and though he does not appear so, possesses surprising durability.
He wears a simple grey cloth shirt, and leather pants. His shoes, also made out of leather had been dyed black.
Masi is a man whom had a traumatic past, as many children in the world had.
He seeks each day in silent thought, alone, and wondering about the days event or schedule.
Masi is a man who is inexperienced by the world and usually is easily fooled. However, having to sell his leathers, he has learned that the world is a harsh place, filled with thieves and people who lies.
He grew up oddly, speaking only greetings and is not one for idly chatter.
He used to be an optimistic lad, and though he is now cold, this personality of his would bring Masi forward to help others, or to view things in as rational view as possible.
(Level 0) Leather pants
(Level 0) Cotton shirt
(Level 0) Fisherman's hat.
(Level 0) Leather Pouch
(Level 0) Water container
(Level 0) Skinning knife.
(Level 0) Quiver of arrows
(Level 1) Bow made out of rock.
(Level 1) Marksmanship (Bow)
Masi's family were farmers, trying to work their way and toil in an small area in which crops could actually grow. They were a small family, a classic story of a man meeting a woman, both alone and had no one to go to. They banded together, moving and exploring the land. Finding a hidden trail in a swampy forest, they found an abandoned hut, in which they took to make their own. Time passed and they adjusted to their lifestyle and had their only son, in which they only named Masi.
Masi grew up, and learned the ways of his parents. His father would shove a bow to his hands, and they both will explore the lands, killing what animals they could find. He would watch as the animal's were skinned, and watched as leather were made. His mother would then take him, bringing the leather to a market place to be sold. Due to constantly walking thru the swamp forest, his body has adapted itself, forming muscles on his legs to take the lad thru and fro from the forest.
One sad day however, a bear appeared, killing his father while they hunted in a tragic accident. Masi ran, the only one surviving and went to his mother. He was only 15 at that time. His mother cried, but they both eventually accepted the fact. However, memories of her loved one in the house grew to much for her, and she moved out, heading to town to become a tailorsmith and leaving her son alone.
Living alone for 4 years, he continued the work of his father, and then heard the ringing of the bell. Seeking to make things right for his family, he went off on his journey, bringing along his only weapon, his bow and his arrows.
Masi's Story
[1st Trial] The Reflection of Desire
# 2010-09-16 14:47:37 , as written by zewei
It was quite a curious sound, Masi thought to himself as he heard someone cry out in the forest. There was a bunch of thick vegetation, far in front of him, which proceeded to thin out, forming a kind of a sign, that further highlighted the oddity of the symbol on the floor.
"A sword, a butcher knife?" he chuckled to himself as he stood. A sword will work, but a butcher knife would be almost completely ineffective against the enemy that they call, high bush.
Stopping his work of making a clearing next to the clearing, he kept his skinning knife back, and he walked towards the source of the cry. The sun was hot, and he now fully realized how much he had sweated, even though he wore a fisherman's cap.
"Head this way! There's a clearing over here!" he called out to the unknown female in the high bush. Unnoticed, the number 312 on his left arm began to glow as well.
Masi nodded, smiling softly as he saw the figure, a girl, probably no older then he was. She was a little shorter then himself, and her freckled expression reminded him of the old American books he used to read.
"Greetings, my name is Masi. And welcome to the promised land.... or so i thought. It isn't very promising since I've been here." He nodded, walking back to the freshly cut plants.
"I am afraid... that sadly, i do not know, nor have the materials to make a fire. Nevertheless.... i do have some tinder, and i'm going to work to make myself more tinder. The bananas near that symbol is safe to eat, though they wouldn't be very appetizing."
He smiled, kneeling and going back to his work. He had managed to clear up quite a nice patch of land, before the event.
The plant's shadows begin to grow, and stretch, and a bewildered Masi looked up as he saw the sky turn from a sky blue, to a shade of red. He watched the sky and the sun for a few moments, before a cold wind blew thru his hair. It was cold, and the suns ray no longer provide heat.
Masi knew that they had an unknown amount of time left, before sunlight left them altogether. He had long grown accustomed to the darkness, living his life in a swamp.
"The ways of the promised land is odd indeed.... But i'll be damned... We need shelter and soon. Banana plant leaves would make great blankets for the night ahead."
Masi sighed softly as he listened to the girl. "Tell me, what do you see?" he said, holding up his skinning knife. "If i had an axe, indeed, i can probably cut some sticks. No, i'm afraid that with the light remaining, we do not have time to build shelter. The banana plants are in that direction, and i've seen some brown giant leaves on the floor. Those are what we shall use as covers. The night is cold. There is no need for tinder for today. Eat a banana, and then follow me. We shall forage for giant leaves."
His left hand was raised, and it was only then did he noticed the tattoo glowing on his left arm. He stared at it a moment, before shuddering slightly as he looked at the symbol of a triangle in a square on the ground.
"I swear, this place is freaking me out." he muttered as he walked hurriedly towards the banana plants.
He had turned back to look curiously at the girl after that comment. "Yes, indeed, i do have a number tattooed on my arm. Three hundred and twelve. It seems to be the price we have to pay to enter this land. I will need to find of a way to hide it for this night."
The vegetation crunched and bended under his steps, and Masi smiled to himself as he spotted the older banana leaves. They were brown, but most importantly to him, they were big, and their branches are easily snapped or sawed off. He got to work, climbing on top of one and using his body weight to snap it free. Letting it fall to the floor, he did the same to drop 8 different leaves from the nearby trees.
"I'm sure by now, that you noticed the damn rotten fruits on the floor of the trees." he spoke up as he dragged the leaves back to the clearing. "If you ask me, that is worrisome. Not a single monkey or creature in sight. Not even skeletons. It uneases me."
Masi sighed softly as he looked at her and shook his head. "Did you not seek out the promised land? If you are to travel, you must come prepared. I am afraid that i will be of little help in starting a fire, not that i even want to start a fire. Darkness is perfectly fine with me for tonight. Fire is both a blessing and a curse." Placing the banana leaves back into the clearing, he quickly arranged them in such a way that they made a very uncomfortable bed. 4 leaves for each person.
"If you can get a fire started, go right ahead and use what i've chopped for fuel. If you wish to waste your energy cutting grass in this light, then who am i to judge?" He sighed, placing the last leave to cover what he had chopped, and then taking nearby rocks to press the leaf down so that they will not be blown away by the wind.
Masi would then walk to the girl and taking the stone bow from his back, he offered it to her. "If you are going to start the fire using the old string method, then you can lend my bow." he stared at her harshly for the next sentence. "You will not, and absolutely not smash my bow against other rocks to create sparks."
Waiting for a moment to see if she would take it or not, Masi would then sit on the banana leaves, dusting off the banana stalk that he had dropped earlier and feasting upon one. "Damn it, sour as hell." he said softly to himself as his cheeks scrunched up.
Watching the girl was not entertaining in the slightest, Masi thought to himself as he closed his eyes to rest. Sure she was shapely, but she had no assets, and her mostly futile efforts to start a fire did little to impress him. Not only that, it was starting to get dark and he did not want to watch the sunset. His parents used to say that watching the sunset would ruin his eyes and while he doubted it, he did not want to test out that particular information. Therefore, he was astounded as he heard her shout in triumph. He quickly opened his eyes to look at the direction of the girl's voice and sure enough, a small glow of a fire was held in her cupped hands. Only then did he noticed her tattoo glow, or more particularly, how strong the glow was. It was the second brightest light next to the flame and as they were in a clearing, it stood out here more then a white flower in a wasteland. His curious thoughts quickly went to his own tattoo and while they glowed, it was a faint blue that only served to illuminate the number on his arm. It would be easy to hide, Masi thought to himself with a relieved smile and turned back to the girl. Although he spotted no wildlife, he was sure that at least some existed, and the dim glow would make his presence to them less obvious, resulting in an easier hunt.
"I'm impressed, but more importantly, I'm confounded on how you just started that fire. Perhaps.... plants burn more easily here." he laid, laying down on the piles of leaves while his mental voice screeched at him.
How was she able to create a fire? Where did she get that stick? How did she force the stick into the grass pile without something to push the stick from the top? Why would she need to place a fruit over a fire to eat it? Silly questions and theories appeared in his head, and he laughed loudly at the mental image of the girl taking out a wand and pointing it to the grass to make it burn.
"Glowing tattoos, night sky, And here I'm still thinking that normal logic works! I wouldn't be surprised if a dragon from the old comes flying above us, with his flame breath creating a sun in the distance." A simple quip, but he carefully observed her reactions. Seeing nothing however, Masi shrugged to himself and decided to trash the theory. No point in being silly. Certainly there are rules, just not in the most logical sense.
Turning one of the banana leaves into a make shift blanket, he propped his head on his arms and laid on more leaves to get some sleep. He had ate before this entire journey, but three hours of walking around would tire someone out and he needed his rest more then food right now. He was calm about his tattoo, knowing that the banana leaf over him would hide it from any observers, but did that matter when they both were illuminated by her impromptu campfire?
"Be careful that you do not start a bush fire." he spoke after a moment's rest. "I'm going back to sleep. Wake me up when you are about to sleep. Basic survival technique. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but i can't help but feel that this land is not looking for our best interest."

When the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) unveiled "The Greatest American Hero" TV series in March, 1981, the copyright owners of "Superman" concluded that the show's main character, Ralph Hinkley, bore more than a coincidental resemblance to Superman. Time Warner Communications, a copyright owner, initiated suit for infringement. The case came to trial in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Central to their factual case, plaintiffs had commissioned a large New York firm to do a nationwide telephone survey designed to determine the degree of perceived similarity between Ralph Hinkley and Superman.
Analysis & Inference advised the attorneys for Time Warner Communications on the strengths and weaknesses of the survey commissioned by the Defendants.
In the end, the trial judge disallowed the survey on legal grounds. Counsel for Time were nonetheless grateful for the necessary preparation. To the best of our knowledge, Analysis & Inference is the only statistics firm to have defended Superman.

"A Sojourn Among the Avatars of Wisdom" is a rare, quadruple-use book. The narrative serves:
To entertain: From the space shuttle's fiery launch, to the International Space Station's celestial perch, to earth's tethered bounds, an astronaut attempts to change his life.
To impart wisdom: The counsel of the world's greatest sages is woven into the narrative, which can be of benefit to those who seek their wisdom.
To employ various literary devices:
There is no greater symbol of change than the launch of the space shuttle that accelerates from zero to 17,000 mph in a little over eight minutes.
Lightning arcs through a network of clouds, which represents thought.
The night of the launch represents ignorance and the light portrays knowledge: "The shuttle, rocketing northeast over the North Atlantic toward dawn over Europe …"
The lack of gravity (resistance) makes us weaker, not stronger.
Although the orbiter is engineered to accelerate and decelerate quickly, individuals who attempt too much change in a short period of time risk injury or death.
The space shuttle's computers enable the spacecraft to achieve orbit whereas people employ a machine-like approach to flesh and bone to reach new heights, which doesn't work.
"Perhaps of greater concern is that the space station is listing about ten degrees to starboard" signals that the narrative has changed its orientation as well.
"If your falcon got any bigger, I'd bet it would attack us," which foreshadows a future attack.
Leslie tells Chris, "It's all downhill from here," which signals that the protagonist is about to be laid low.
To pay tribute to Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century art movement, and his "Voyage of Life" series of paintings, whose scenes are rendered in my book as follows:
Childhood: "Below them (as viewed by Chris Cole in an aircraft), a lone sailboat plies the lake's serene waters."
Youth: "As the two head outside, Chris beholds towering citadels of condensation borne by summer breezes, floating silently across the sky."
Manhood: "Chris pauses to watch one such vessel (a grassy boat) hurtling downstream, which narrowly misses some large rocks until it rounds a bend and disappears from view."
The central character in the narrative, Chris Cole, is linked to Thomas Cole through the latter's quote, "Over all, rocks, wood, and water, brooded the spirit of repose, and the silent energy of nature stirred the soul to its inmost depths."
The word sublime, used in the narrative, is one often associated with descriptions of the Hudson River School paintings.
There are very few quadruple-use books in the world. Accordingly, that's what makes my story special!

Lawrence Gushee (1931-2015)
Lawrence "Larry" Arthur Gushee (1931-2015) was born in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania to Lawrence and Mary McEachern Gushee, and grew up in the areas of Boston and Philadelphia. After graduating from William Penn Charter School, Gushee earned a BA in the History of Music from Yale University, and then a Ph.D. in Musicology Studies from Yale in 1962. His teaching career includes posts at Yale (until 1967), University of Wisconsin-Madison (1967-1976), and finally University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1976-1997). Gushee was a classically-trained clarinetist as well as a musicologist, and later in his career he became involved in traditional jazz and ragtime performance. He later formed his own band, the New Golden Rule Orchestra. Gushee's study of American popular music had grown from his initial interest in Medieval and Renaissance trouveres and troubadours; his work in early music included the genealogy of important musicians and the tracing of song origins. Such endeavors were highly influential upon his work with American music. The bulk of his scholarly research focused on medieval music and early jazz, with particular expertise on Jelly Roll Morton and the Original Creole Band of New Orleans. From this expertise came the publication of his book Pioneers of Jazz: The Story of the Creole Band (2005). Additionally, Gushee's written work in these fields appears in American Record Guide and Jazz Review, and he has provided liner notes for Smithsonian reissues of King Oliver, Freddie Keppard, and Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers Recordings. His most influential contribution as a scholar was the promotion of early jazz as a legitimate scholarly field.

Description: Consists of research and instructional files, and correspondence related to his scholarship in Medieval and Renaissance music, American popular music (primarily Jazz), as well as Gushee's ancillary scholarly interests which include organology and nineteenth-century French music. Materials also pertain to Gushee's involvement and service as a faculty member for the School of Music at the University of Illinois. Gushee's study of American popular music grew from his initial interest in Medieval and Renaissance trouveres and troubadours; and his research of early music included the genealogy of important musicians and the tracing of song origins. Such endeavors were highly influential upon his later work with American music. Gushee's research efforts are represented in genealogical records (census, marriage, death, and military service) of famous jazz musicians, including Jelly Roll Morton, maps, card catalog records, audiovisual materials, and print versions of Gushee's conference papers.
