In August, Creighton's Magis Catholic Teacher Corps sent its largest cohort ever to teach in Catholic schools in seven cities across the U.S., including a new location in Tucson, Arizona. The 32 students are gaining valuable teaching experience, while also pursuing a master's degree in education from Creighton.
In addition to Tucson, Creighton's Magis students are teaching in schools in Kansas City, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; Sioux City, Iowa; Winnebago, Nebraska; Milwaukee; and Omaha. Participants live together in groups of three to eight in intentional Christian communities during the school year, attend a summer spirituality course on campus and participate in retreats throughout the year.
"To engage in Ignatian spirituality as a young adult in the world today, that's a big focus of ours," says Colleen Chiacchere, MS'14, Magis director.
When Creighton's program started 17 years ago, with a gift from John Micek Jr., BS'50, and Ann Louise Micek, BA'75, it was only open to those who wanted to teach but didn't have an education degree. Today, the program is open to both those who hold a teaching degree and those who don't, offering graduate degrees in educational leadership, school counseling, educational specialist, and secondary and elementary education.
Initially only serving financially under-resourced schools, Magis has expanded to send teachers anywhere their gifts and talents can be used best.
Creighton looks for applicants with leadership initiative, involvement in service and openness to the calling of teaching.
Not every school is right for Magis, Chiacchere says. Partner schools need a principal who is willing to form new Catholic educators, and who supports the program's mission.
This year's group includes students with diverse backgrounds. Franz Schuck, for instance, fixed string instruments, an elite job requiring a full apprenticeship, before enrolling in Magis. John Ryan was an actor, sushi chef and graphic designer. Craig Krueger was studying law before entering the program, and Maddalena Pagila has a degree in zoology.
"The people who are driven to join our program just help the program in so many ways," Assistant Director Jeremy Graney says. "They're great representatives of the schools and take on leadership roles outside of Magis."
It's those kinds of driven teachers who have made Magis a must-have for principals across the U.S.
"We've had long relationships with schools," Graney says. "Word gets around. They've heard about us; (they) say, 'We want Magis teachers.' That just goes to all the good work our teachers are doing in schools."
Dave Mason, the principal of San Miguel High School in Tucson, Magis' newest home, knew of the good work of Magis teachers. Mason had been a principal in Minneapolis, where Magis teachers have worked in the past, before he moved to Arizona. A teacher shortage in Arizona led him to look for more resources.
"He said he wanted Magis teachers in his new school. He knew firsthand what the quality of a Magis teacher is," Chiacchere says.
After the required two years in the program, many Magis graduates end up staying at their placement schools.
"It's very much an extension of the Creighton values. Someone who's drawn to living out their faith," Chiacchere says. "You want to serve and are excited about that interaction of faith and action.
"All of our people are excellent human beings, but also stellar teachers. They're drawn to being better educators."

Chicago Celebrates the 40th Anniversary of "The Picasso" Sculpture
Contact: Bennie Currie, 312.744.9277
The Picasso sculpture was the center of attention today as well-wishers gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a Chicago icon.
The sculpture, generally known as the "The Picasso," was unveiled on August 15, 1967 and sits on the east side of the Richard J. Daley Center. In celebration of that event, a giant top hat was placed atop the Picasso that reads "Happy 40th Birthday." The anniversary festivities also included a giant Eli's cheesecake that was served to well-wishers and passersby.
The massive untitled work designed by Pablo Picasso was a catalyst for the City of Chicago's public art program and over the years, the sculpture has piqued the curiosity of countless observers, some of whom believe that the 50-foot, 324,000-pound sculpture depicts a horse or bird.
"What ever one sees when looking upon the Picasso, it's certainly clear that it is a magnificent work of art," said Montel Gayles, Executive Director of the Public Building Commission of Chicago, which owns and manages operation of the Daley Center. "It is a world-class sculpture that is probably Chicago's most popular piece of public art."
The PBC offered to pay Mr. Picasso $100,000 for his design, but he refused to accept it, presenting his masterpiece as a gift to the City of Chicago instead.
"The Picasso has always stood as a symbol of the strength of public art's relationship to the outstanding architecture in this city," said Gregory Knight, Deputy Commissioner of Visual Arts for the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. "Forty years after it was installed, it has retained that place of distinction and become a true symbol of civic pride to both residents and visitors."
In further recognition of the 40th anniversary of the sculpture, the cover of the forthcoming Public Building Commission of Chicago Annual Report will feature a painting of the Picasso by Dylan Rabe. A graduate of Whitney M. Young Magnet High School who now attends the School of the Art Institute Chicago, Rabe's painting was selected from some 16 works submitted by students from the Chicago Public Schools' Advanced Arts Education Program at Gallery 37.
The students' illustrations currently are on display in the Daley Center lobby.
"Dylan's work — and all the submissions from our students – represents the growing talent pool available in Chicago and within the Chicago Public Schools," said Arne Duncan, Chief Executive Officer of the Chicago Public Schools. "We're proud that our students' works could be showcased as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of this amazing sculpture."
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), an architecture firm in Chicago and designers of the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower, also played an integral role in the development of Chicago's Picasso. Richard Tomlinson, Partner with SOM, spoke at the birthday celebration.
"SOM is proud to be a part of this legacy for the city," Tomlinson said. "One of the important parts of public art is that it allows us to forge connections with those around us through a common dialogue. "
The PBC manages construction and renovation projects for the Chicago Public Schools as well as the City of Chicago and its other sister agencies. Mayor Richard M. Daley serves as the PBC's Chairman.

It's very easy to dismiss this when we are young, because we've never known anything but being young. We take our health, vigor, and capabilities for granted. Just like anything that is "normal," only when it's gone do we tend to really appreciate it.
I never gave any thought to opening a door, drinking a cup of coffee, or cutting up the food on my plate—until I tore my rotator cuff and my right arm was rendered useless. A few weeks of doing without it taught me a whole new appreciation for the value and ease a functioning right arm brings to my life.
Unfortunately, many of the capabilities we lose with aging do not return after a few weeks of healing. The harsh reality is that eventually most of us will not be able to take care of ourselves in the ways we are used to.
So when you think about "retirement planning," here is what that really means: When you can't earn an income, how will you be provided for? Where is the money for rent and utilities going to come from? How are you going to get to doctor appointments and the store when you can't drive anymore? Who will help you pay your bills when your eyesight or your mind aren't as clear as they once were? Who is going to help you with meal preparation or remind you to take your medications?
If you have fully funded your retirement, you can feel secure that, no matter what care and assistance you may need, you will have the means to pay for it. If you haven't saved adequately, you will need to rely on others to take care of you financially as well as physically.
Spouses. What happens if you don't have a partner? Or when they can no longer care for you? Or when both of you need care?
Children. Unlike many other countries and cultures, "living with the kids" is not necessarily expected or accepted in the U.S. Most children are not equipped emotionally or especially financially to become caretakers for aging parents.
According to studies I've read, the cost of caring for a parent who has not provided for themselves ranges from $250,000 to $700,000 in lost wages, opportunities, and out-of-pocket expenses. People may have to quit jobs to care for a parent or hire care at a cost of up to $100,000 a year. Few in American can afford that.
Government and charities. Social Security provides only a minimal income. Medicaid pays for only basic care such as shared living space. Services like public transportation, subsidized elder housing, and reliable in-home services are not available everywhere, especially in rural areas.
This is not a pretty picture of retirement. Unfortunately, it is reality for millions of Americans. The consequences of neglecting to prepare financially for old age are all too real.

11. Do You Still Miss Him?
With no more than a dozen or so film scores under his belt prior to The Quiet American, Craig Armstrong's recognition comes from only a handful of films and this primarily from his work on Moulin Rouge: the score to the movie as well as the arrangements for the songs; his scores for The Bone Collector and Plunkett and Macleane likely constitute the beginnings of his more public career. Unfortunately, even a good score may be overlooked for a movie that doesn't do well at either the box office or the awards, and with only a best supporting actor nomination for Michael Caine, The Quiet American was such a film.
Though parts are typical Armstrong - the piano as the foundation for the score, the strings, the electronic percussion - The Quiet American is also new for Armstrong stylistically as he adds Vietnamese rhythms and instrumentation for an authentically ethnic feel. As Zimmer would do the following year for The Last Samurai, Armstrong studied the music of the region extensively in order to capture its essence. He did not, however, write a Vietnamese score and, again like Zimmer, keeps several of his former stylistic elements; both movies involve Americans in foreign countries and the American sounds these composers established in former scores remain as a reflection of the western elements in these films. While the movie deals with a mixture of cultures, Armstrong's score similarly weaves American and Vietnamese sounds.
The score opens with the title track, which is grounded in a moving piano theme with a string motif layered above in pitch and generally reflecting the piano theme; to this, Armstrong adds a female vocal soloist and electric percussion. The piano and strings combine to beautifully capture the quiet tone of the movie, the love story, the serenity of Saigon, and Caine's character Fowler's attempts to remain separate from the rising conflicts of the start of the Vietnam War. These are the expected, or "American," elements to Armstrong's score, and the Vietnamese vocalist brings to this sound the reminder of place, while maintaining the serene – but almost tragic – tone. But it is the electric percussion that does not fit perfectly; the sound is jarring and almost too modern for the film, which takes place in 1952. It increases the tempo of a movie that is, even in spite of the various war scenes, quiet, and is not the ethnic sound Armstrong uses later. This electric motif comes in throughout the movie, usually in short cues that seem random to the events of the film, and though they give the film a semblance of tension, they often seem out of place; the violin line could have achieved this tension without the percussion.
Armstrong does, however, use ethnic Vietnamese percussion at other times, which is perhaps part of why I question his use of the electrics. The track "Death in the Square" is perhaps the most powerful of the movie, but also the best use of Armstrong's themes and ethnic elements. The scene in the movie is almost a montage of the wreckage after a bombing in Saigon and is silent save for the music. It starts with a soft chorus, followed by a string line and ethnic percussion, and then the return of the solo vocalist and piano, performing the main theme from the opening track. These sounds capture the tension of the moment with the ethnic sound of Vietnam, and build with a French horn into an effective and moving cue. The occasional French horn is the only brass in this score, and it is used for sound color. It appears in the background in the opening track, but is otherwise heard most often during the war scenes where there are explosions going off. I would not go so far as to say that the French horn is an "explosion" motif, but the sound color is certainly associated with these moments.
Overall, The Quiet American captures both the quiet and tragic tones of the film: the emotions within the movie as well as the looming tragedy of the war to come. It reflects the musical culture of Vietnam through the solo vocalist and native percussion rhythms and instruments, when present, but this tone is broken by the electric percussion. It also combines this with Armstrong's western style that mirrors the cultural themes of the movie. On album, the music is a fairly serene, good listen, but may be a little slow for some listeners. In the movie, the score is a little on the minimalist side as there are many moments in which the music is entirely absent; but what's there is good. I would have liked the music to be more consistent in the movie and carry a slightly stronger presence in some scenes, and the score could have done without the electric percussion, despite the fact that it is one of Armstrong's trademarks.

Sleep slowly tonight
Posted on November 3, 2012 by Bob Priddy
We're not sure whether today or tomorrow should be International George Vernon Hudson Day. Perhaps tonight should be George Vernon Hudson Night.
George Hudson was a New Zealand postal worker who liked to study insects. Although he died in 1946 just before his 79th birthday, his insect collection remains the largest-ever in New Zealand.
George's day job left him with little time after his work day at certain times of the year to collect more bugs. So in 1895 he presented a paper to the Wellington (NZ) Philosophical Society suggesting a way he could have more hours of sunlight for more bug-hunting. He suggested moving clocks forward by two hours, creating more evening daylight. His paper stirred up a lot of interest. He presented another one in 1898.
Back in England, the country of Hudson's birth, outdoorsman William Willett went on a ride before breakfast one day in 1905 and started thinking about the number of people who slept away a good part of the day during the summer. Willett was a golfist who really didn't like having to leave the links when the light went away. So he published a proposal in 1907 suggesting moving the clock forward for summer. But Parliament had taken no action by the time Willett died in 1915.
Wars can add urgency to causes that languish in peacetime and World War I did that with daylight savings time. Germany and its allies decided in 1916 to adopt it as a way to conserve coal. Britain and most of its allies thought that was a snazzy idea, too, and soon adopted it. The United States adopted DST in 1918.
Actually, Benjamin Franklin had satirically proposed the idea in 1784 but other issues, such as the organization of a new nation, got in the way of enactment. And even after this country adopted DST in 1918, many states did not approve it. Missouri didn't do it until many years later. And for many years it was a local option. What a pain. Daylight Savings Time for everybody in Missouri didn't arrive until April, 1967. I recall talking to some people in those days who where all a-twitter because DST would make mornings darker, longer, and it would be bad for their plants.
Most of us will go to bed with CDT tonight and wake up with CST tomorrow. There is no known medical cure for these conditions. It's something we just have to live with although some people never adjust to the fact that the day gets darker earlier. The change is the official beginning of winter's discontent.
The time change is official at 2 a.m. tomorrow (Sunday). Remember: FALL BACK. Adjust your clocks before slipping into the embrace of the arms of Morpheus. Most folks don't stay up to celebrate the time change—this isn't a new year or anything. But it means you'll have to cram your usual six or seven hours of sleep into sevn or eight So, sleep slowly tonight.

What is his background
Dr Steve Harris was a silicon chip designer throughout most of his career but always had a profound interest in aircraft. Not only is he a volunteer at the RAF Museum Cosford but he's also a member of a local flying club. Self-employed, he was able to gradually cut down on work until he reached a point where he felt ready to retire.
First volunteering experience
He began looking for opportunities to volunteer four years ago. This is when started his own coding club, Code Club, at a local primary school to introduce programming to children early in their lives. He does this by using simple coding language called Scratch. As Steve put it himself "Children shouldn't just consume technology but have the skills and opportunity to create it themselves."
To make it easier to volunteer and teach children, Steve became an Ambassador with STEM Learning. This is an organisation whose goal is to further the understanding of the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Becoming an Ambassador meant that he was qualified to teach the STEM subjects and made it a lot easier to work with children.
Joining the RAF Museum
After running Co-Club for two years, Steve then began to volunteer at the RAF Museum Cosford in 2017. He initially joined as a Fun 'n' Flight explainer which he continues to do today. Steve added "I enjoy the experience a great deal as I am able to share my knowledge on the science of flight with such a huge variety of children". Steve was also able to put his skills to great use by repairing some of the interactives within the Fun 'n' Flight area, benefiting the Museum a great deal. He remembers having an interactive helicopter engine in his kitchen for two weeks until he was able to get it operational again.
Furthering his Volunteering
Whilst remaining a Fun 'n' Flight explainer, Steve then went on to teach STEM at the RAF Museum as part of the Access and Learning Team at Cosford. The role consisted of engaging school children (normally within four blocks of 30) through related activities. Planned and ran by both staff and volunteers, activities include building rockets and cars out of paper materials. Then having fired them via a compressed air launcher it is a competition of whose can travel the furthest. Other activities include parachute and glider building – with the latter, having regional and area finals hosted at the Museum. However, in order for students to build such vehicles they first need to be taught the science that drives them. Then how their performance can be optimised, utilising in full Steve's knowledge and expertise.
Final message from Steve
The great thing about running these activities is that the students that come in to take part do so to learn. It is so rewarding when you realise that you have helped them fulfill that goal – it is like you are paving the way for the engineers of tomorrow.

Mum made lots of different types of fruit cakes, loaves and slices and adding pumpkin to the mix wasn't that unusual. The only unusual ingredient in this recipe is the apricot nectar, not something that you'd normally put in a fruit cake and not something you'd usually have in your cupboard. If you wanted to you could easily substitute it with fruit juice or water.
I've always liked this cake, although I don't know where it got its odd name from. Mum always baked it in a loaf tin and cut it into slices for serving. It has a very light chocolate flavour and you can substitute sultanas for the nuts if you like want to, that makes it lovely and fruity.
Beat butter and sugar, add beaten eggs, then milk with soda in it. Add other ingredients and mix well. Bake 1 hour in a greased loaf tin.


For tax years beginning in 2018 and beyond, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) created a flat 21% federal income tax rate for C corporations. Under prior law, C corporations were taxed at rates as high as 35%. The TCJA also reduced individual income tax rates, which apply to sole proprietorships and pass-through entities, including partnerships, S corporations, and, typically, limited liability companies (LLCs). The top rate, however, dropped only slightly, from 39.6% to 37%.
IRS examiners use Audit Techniques Guides (ATGs) to prepare for audits — and so can small business owners. Many ATGs target specific industries, such as construction. Others address issues that frequently arise in audits, such as executive compensation and fringe benefits. These publications can provide valuable insights into issues that might surface if your business is audited.

"That's just the cost of doing business." You've probably heard this expression many times. It's true that, to invoke another cliché, you've got to spend money to make money. But that doesn't mean you have to take rising operational costs sitting down.

A post full of pictures. Just sharing some of our photos the past few weeks within this May.Sorry, I'm kinda busy. I have so many things to finished these days. But I haven't finished anything.Haha..Over delay and tardy for all of my works.
Well, anyways the following photos of me, my baby, and my husband were taken in front of our house, my parents place. We went there last Saturday, May 19 after office hours, my husband and baby, together with my youngest sister Monica waited for me to come with me and celebrate my Eldest sister's 30th birthday. We didn't know what to give as a gift to our Ate, so we ended up to a chocolate roll cake from Goldilocks and 3 in 1 + 1 ice cream. We slept there for the Saturday night and the other day, that's when my Eldest sister prepared the foods for her visitors. Of course, I was there to help her. I was the one who cleaned the house and did other things.
Me and my youngest sister decided to go at the mall. We thought no more visitors will come at my sister's celebration, it's already 5 pm then she only has 3 visitors. Poor girl. Some of her invited friends texted her that they can't come, a lot of reasons to tell that she can't do anything.. She's really worried that time, But Thanks, God when its darken around some of her visitors arrived and other visitors invited by my father. That's when we're at the mall already. By the way, my father drove the car for us to accompany at the mall and left us to fetch my sister and my cousin to my sister's store.
Do you remember I did tell you that my Queen is fond of Jollibee?
I let my Queen walk, she's trying her best to walk straight but she's still afraid. I can't carry her any longer because she gained weight and I feel numb.
At the Fun house ..
Queen loves to ride in any character rides in fun house but she doesn't want it moving.
She's afraid! She only wants to sit and spin the steering wheel. I can see that she's very happy whenever we go out.
and tried to get a mini stuff toys. Fortunately, we got only one after so many trials.
So hard and so elusive. Grrr... You'll have to consume a lot of coins before you get one. I forgot to capture the mini stuff toy. It's cute actually.
These photos were taken at Robinsons, Pampanga. It was Queen's 13th Months Day! We went to my inlaws relatives at Florida, Pampanga because it was their town feast day. I don't know their Patron Saint. Honestly, I didn't want to go there because I really wanted to take enough rest. When we arrived there, no food served yet. We were all starving because of the long ride.. My mother-in-law voluntarily cooked for the remaining veggies, shanghai and fried chicken. Imagine that!? Oh well, I'm sorry but I didn't enjoy going there.
But anyways, we passed by at the Robinsons since the bus terminal was at the side of the mall. We took a ride before we went home. That's my outfit, a simple candymag tee from my winnings, green leggings and Tom shoes. That's the only time I enjoyed after the annoying day. My baby also enjoyed the ride. I told you she loves going out and sight-seeing.

Jaguar Club of Houston (SC38)
Jaguar Club Of Houston South Central Region - Club #38 Original Jaguar Club of Houston Formed in 1961 Affiliated with JNCA 1979, Members: 120+ Annual Dinner Party amd Annual General Meeting (social event) Monthly open members meeting Concours d'Elegance - Usually at end of October Growing newer car membership The Jaguar Club of Houston is a group of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and driving enjoyment of all Jaguar cars, regardless of model and year. The club has been in existence since the early 60's in some way, shape or form, but finally became a JCNA affiliate club in 1979. Like most car clubs, JC Houston is kept alive and functioning by a core group of volunteers who unselfishly volunteer their time and efforts year after year. Informal monthly board meetings are held in a private room at a specific "car friendly" restaurant in the Houston area. Here, various club events are planned and managed, and all members are encouraged to attend. The split between new-model jaguars and the old classics is about 60-40. As a result, there are just as many members who seem to want driving events as there are those who are more show-oriented. Our most highly attended events include a spring drive through the back roads up to the Brenham area; our Annual General Meeting social dinner where new officers are installed, future events announced, and a general "state-of-the-club" address is given by the club president; a time/distance rally in the "hinterlands" of the Houston area; a JCNA slalom; and our Concours d'Elegance where both classic and modern Jaguars are displayed and judged. The Jaguar Club of Houston was quick to embrace the idea of developing a website on the Internet for purposes of club announcements, promotion, and communications. All newsletters are posted (and archived) on the website, which at the time of this writing, is currently undergoing a complete makeover. Photos of club's activities have graced the cover of "The Jaguar Journal" five times. The Houston Club also hosted the 2007 JCNA AGM. By far, the most visible club event is our Concours d'Elegance, and in 2011, we celebrated our 34th annual show. This is also the clubs' most difficult event to plan and execute. Eight or nine years ago, the concours moved from hotel parking lots to highly-visible and high-end venues which have included Kemah Boardwalk, Moody Gardens Resort in Galveston, Pier 19 at Harbor House, Carlton Woods Country Club in The Woodlands, and the Sugar Land Town Square in Sugar Land Texas. Thanks to the generosity of many sponsors, we have produced full-size posters for each concours for promotional purposes, and, we are able to donate a portion of our proceeds to a local charity. Not only was our club the first to use CD's to distribute concours brochures, forms, and information, we now produce a broadcast-quality video "invitation" to our members (and others) that details general information about the upcoming event with shots of the show site, surrounding shops, and location of the awards dinner. With entries from other Texas cities, we average approx. 60 cars at our best concours, many of which are repeat JCNA national champions. The Jaguar Club of Houston continues to strive for excellence in the quality of its activities and events, always seeking new ways to increase membership interest and participation.

Katarzyna Elżbieta Dydek  (ur. 21 marca 1970 w Warszawie) – polska koszykarka grająca na pozycji środkowej, mistrzyni Europy (1999), olimpijka, następnie trener koszykówki. Siostra Małgorzaty Dydek i Marty Dydek.

Życiorys
Ukończyła liceum ogólnokształcące w Wołominie, kształciła się później w Evangel College w Springfield w stanie Missouri, gdzie została absolwentką kierunku trenerskiego. Karierę sportową zaczynała w drugoligowym Huraganie Wołomin, następnie przeszła do Olimpii Poznań. W 1992 wyjechała do Stanów Zjednoczonych, gdzie grała w lidze uniwersyteckiej (w Independence w stanie Kansas, Evangel College w Springfield i Colorado Xplosion z Denver).

W drugiej połowie lat 90. powróciła do Polski, gdzie została zawodniczką Lotosu VBW Clima Gdynia. Z tym klubem pięciokrotnie (1998–2002) zdobywała mistrzostwo Polski. Pomiędzy 1991 a 2001 wystąpiła w 85 meczach reprezentacji Polski, zdobywając w nich 350 punktów. Trzykrotnie wystąpiła z kadrą narodową w mistrzostwach Europy. Największy sukces odniosła na Mistrzostwach Europy w Koszykówce Kobiet w 1999, zdobywając złoty medal. Wystąpiła wówczas w czterech z ośmiu meczów, łącznie przez 22 minuty, rzucając 4 punkty. Nie zagrała przy tym w meczu półfinałowym i finałowym. W 1991 i 2001 zajmowała z reprezentacją szóste miejsca. W obu tych turniejach była rezerwową, grającą w niewielkim wymiarze: w 2 z 5 meczów (nie zdobywając punktu) oraz w 4 z 8 meczów (zdobywając 2 punkty). W 2000 wraz z reprezentacją koszykarek (w tym m.in. z siostrą Małgorzatą) zajęła ósme miejsce na Letnich Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Sydney, na których wystąpiła w czterech z siedmiu spotkań, rzucając 9 punktów.

Po zakończeniu kariery sportowej pozostała w Gdyni, gdzie pracowała jako asystentka trenera w swoim dotychczasowym klubie. Później została trenerem zespołu INEA AZS Poznań, zwolniono ją w trakcie sezonu 2009/2010. Podjęła pracę w zawodzie nauczycielki, zaś w 2015 objęła funkcję trenera koszykarek Basketu Gdynia (pełniła tę funkcję do 2016). Również w 2015 bez powodzenia kandydowała do Sejmu z listy Platformy Obywatelskiej.

W 1999 odznaczona Złotym Krzyżem Zasługi.

Why it pays to have a quiet week on Twitter
In spite of the furore over Nick Griffin's appearance on last night's Question Time and the running commentary provided by almost everyone I know during the show's broadcast, it's been a quiet week on Twitter.
Quiet, that is, when you compare it to last week. There has been acres of web space devoted to the double whammy of Twitter-power in the previous 7 days.
First, there was the now infamous Twitter campaign to embarrass lawyers Carter Ruck and their client Trafigura to lift the quite bewildering gag order on reporting in the House Of Commons.
Being part of the constant Twitterthon on Tuesday felt rather special. It was like going on a student demo without leaving the comfort of your own living room. Populace action using the web in a way that had previously been unimaginable.
And the Twitter community had only just recovered, when the second huge 'scandal' of the week erupted. Namely, the now equally infamous Daily Mail article, penned by Jan Moir about the 'strange, lonely and troubling death' of Stephen Gately.
My partner read it very early on Friday morning and said, rather presciently, 'That's going to cause a bit of a stink'. Too right – a stench that Jan Moir herself and the Daily Mail could never have imagined.
In an even greater show of strength than the earlier Trafigura moment, the Twitterverse went into meltdown. The level of astonishment at the column's content was quite something to behold.
When a friend of mine tweeted that Moir had quite rightly breached the PCC code and forwarded the message to Derren Brown, the die was cast. His retweet flooded Twitter and the PCC was deluged with complaints – in itself a delicious irony given the relentless Daily Mail campaign against Ross and Brand last year – a number that currently stands at around 25,000.
Every development was noted. When the article headline changed and the ads were removed, tweets went round everywhere. When Charlie Brooker published his comment on the whole sorry saga, a link to his article achieved almost equal saturation.
But all good things come to an end. At lunch the other day with some friends, we noted how quiet it had been on Twitter this week, in comparison to the fire and brimstone of the previous seven days.
And we all agreed that actually a quiet week was actually really important. A sense of order and decorum has returned. Changing the world, or at least a couple of small parts of it, takes energy and emotion that cannot be continuously maintained.
Twitter needs time to gather itself before the next assault on freedom of speech and the erosion of liberal values. Let us get our breath back!
