The Editor's Desk: Occupy Athens could become real voice
Athens Banner-Herald
In last week's installment of "Athens News Matters," a public affairs show featuring a panel of local journalists on WUGA-FM, a couple of my local media colleagues and I came to the rough consensus that Occupy Athens had become, or at least was becoming, a worthy voice on the local political scene.
The immediate focus of our conjecture was the fact that the Athens-Clarke County Commission's Legislative Review Committee has decided not to act on a proposed public facilities ordinance. The full commission will take up the proposal next Tuesday, but the committee action has all but formally defeated the proposal. The proposed ordinance - in effect a curfew, inasmuch as it would limit hours of operation of the City Hall campus and other Athens-Clarke government properties to 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. - was aimed squarely at Occupy Athens.
A local iteration of the national Occupy movement, Occupy Athens set up a round-the-clock presence outside City Hall in March of last year. The "occupation" lasted just a matter of days, ending when police asked participants to leave the grounds on the basis of claims - claims with only the barest hint of legitimacy, from my observations at the time - that they were blocking public access to the building. Officials also expressed concern that participants had defaced a statue and other parts of the City Hall campus, but - again, from my observations at the time - any such damage appeared to be slight.
Nonetheless, in May of last year, Mayor Nancy Denson asked the Legislative Review Committee to take a look at public-use and rights-of-way regulation, with the ultimate result being the committee's consideration, and recent rejection, of the public facilities ordinance.
As heavy-handed as official reaction to the occupation of City Hall grounds might seem, it was not entirely without reason. At the time of the occupation, and for a time thereafter, members of Occupy Athens were distinguishing themselves chiefly for delivering inflammatory rhetoric, engaging confrontationally with public officials and disrupting public meetings.
Personally, I remember talking with some Occupy members after they'd made some sort of announcement from the City Hall steps around the time of their eviction. I thought at the time that their youthful energy was more than overmatched by their confrontational style and tenuous command of the issues.
In the intervening months, though, the Occupy folks have become effective advocates, making their presence felt on the public facilities ordinance without crossing the line into self-defeating disrespect for authority. Continuing along that constructive path could make Occupy Athens an important voice in local politics. I'm glad to have seen the group's evolution over the past year, and wish them well in whatever they decide to do on the local political scene in the future.
And before I close today, I'd like to offer some thoughts to local elected officials in connection with dealing with groups like Occupy, or the ad hoc groups of young people that will sometimes coalesce around local issues and strive to be heard in the halls of local government.
Look, I know it can be frustrating to deal with the uninformed exuberance of such groups. My job will occasionally put me in contact with them when they ask about getting space on the editorial page, and walking them through an understanding of the intricacies of a particular issue - i.e., why they may be mistaken about one point or another - can be a little maddening.
If I were a public official, I'd try to look at those situations as an opportunity to let young people know that they can and should have a voice in local public policy issues, but seeking that voice, and using it effectively, requires some commitment to learning about those issues and about navigating public meetings.

Terragon Environmental Technologies researches, develops, and commercializes technologies to enable off-grid sustainability. For the maritime market, this means enabling the zero-waste discharge vessel: a vessel that uses all its garbage, sludge, and waste water streams to produce energy and clean water for reuse by the vessel. Terragon provides these advanced technologies with exceptional environmental performance and matching economic benefits. The Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS) is a unique appliance that converts garbage and oily sludge into energy, all while creating its own fuel and very clean emissions. The Wastewater Electrochemical Treatment Technology (WETT) is an advanced system that uses electrochemistry to clean water without the need for chemicals, biological treatment, and costly filters. The System for Total Environmental Protection (STEP) is the combination of both MAGS and WETT onboard a vessel thus enabling it to truly become a zero waste discharge habitat.

From the director, Chris Jordan: The journey of ALBATROSS began in 2008 as a collaboration with my friend, activist/photographer Manuel Maqueda. Studying the newly-emerging issue of ocean plastic pollution, we learned of a stunning environmental tragedy taking place on a tiny atoll in the center of the vast North Pacific Ocean. We immediately began planning an expedition there, and on our first trip to Midway Island in September of 2009, we and our team photographed and filmed thousands of young albatrosses that lay dead on the ground, their stomachs filled with plastic. The experience was devastating, not only for what it meant for the suffering of the birds, but also for what it reflected back to us about the destructive power of our culture of mass consumption, and humanity's damaged relationship with the living world.
Unused Medicine? This Drug Take Back event is a responsible option.
In addition to these semi-annual take back events, residents (and non-residents) can dispose of unused prescription and over-the-counter medication 24 hours a day in the collection box located near the police window in the lobby of the Municipal Center.
On Thursday, May 2, at Noon, all are invited to join local clergy and Town and Country leaders as we join together to pray for our City and our Nation. A free lunch is provided afterward for everyone in attendance.

One of the simplest things you can do with Lavender is make tea. The flower heads make a ready made tea bag.
Gently pick your lavender and gently run it under cold water to remove any bugs, dust and dirt. Leave enough stem so it sticks out of the cup a little like a teaspoon. Boil some water and pour over the lavender and leave to stew until strong enough. You can play with the strength by adding more or less flower heads.
The pigment from the petals will bleed into the water giving it a beautiful colour which will deepen the stronger it is. It's also nice served cold with or without ice and a slice.
This was part of a weekly craft hangout I usually join in with as ZingZingTree but as this is more foody it was more suited to BlueBearWood.
Watch the video below for some more great ideas to do with your garden lavender. The links to the blog posts are below the video.

When doing research about how to potty train your child, it's easy to set yourself up for unrealistic expectations. Parents are quick to offer potty training advice, but sometimes it seems as if they're boasting about how quick potty training it was for them. Sure, some parents might take only three days to potty train their child. But that doesn't mean you should expect to, and it certainly doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you or your child if it takes longer.
If you want to establish a more realistic goal, try setting potty training in one week as your baseline while realizing that it may take much longer. However long it takes, you'll be prepared for potty training success if you're armed with the following tips.
Takes an interest in the potty chair or using "big kid" underwear.
Can get undressed and dressed with little to no help.
Imitates parental behavior or that of older siblings.
Is able to tell you when his or her diaper is dirty.
There are lots of potty seats and potty chairs to choose from, but involving your child in the choice can make it much less intimidating. In an interview with Huggies Pull-Ups®, potty training expert Dr. Jody McVittie said that it doesn't really matter what type of chair you get, as long as it interests your child. Obviously, you'll want some say in the decision, however, and you'll need to choose between a potty seat that goes right on the toilet, or a potty chair that your child will use on the floor. Start by narrowing the choices down and then giving your child some options.
Take your child to the store and let him or her pick out some new "big kid" underwear as well. Some kids really enjoy this. The process also gives them a bit of control in the matter, which helps make it less scary.
If there's anyone else who watches your child, they must be on board with the process. That includes daycare teachers, babysitters and other family members. Even older children can help, since toddlers often look up to their brothers and sisters and copy their behaviors.
You're not going anywhere for a few days unless you're armed with a spare change of clothes and a backup plan, so get ready for a little staycation. Make sure you have lots of coffee and patience.
Even if it's not your style to get excited about pee and poop, you'll need to get really good at acting. A little praise goes a long way when potty training. Take it a step further by incorporating stickers, treats and prizes, and you've got yourself a recipe for success. Don't get carried away with the rewards though. Once your child realizes that he doesn't get a new toy truck every time he uses the potty, he'll stop cooperating. So, keep it simple, and only dish out what you can afford.
Accidents will happen, and you will get frustrated. However, you should never scold your child for having an accident. AskDrSears.com recommends stepping away as soon as you feel anger bubbling up inside, taking a deep breath, reassessing your strategy, and then returning to the scene with a smile on your face.
Quick Potty Training Tip #7: Never Give Up!
According to WebMD, the average time it takes to fully potty train a child is three months. Even if you're successful within a week, accidents are likely to happen after that. If you give up, you're sending a signal to your child that he or she is allowed to give up. So, stick with it, whether potty training takes three days, one week or several months.

It wasn't until Paul Simon was an adolescent that he realized his tabletop radio was useful for anything other than listening to Yankees games on. A disc jockey caught his attention one day by stating he was about to play what was, in his opinion, the worst song ever recorded, but when Simon heard the tune—a doo-wop ditty called "Gee," by the Crows—to his surprise, he liked it. Thus began one of America's greatest songwriter's lifelong love affair with music.
That very radio—now a legitimate antique—is on display at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles as part of the exhibit, Paul Simon: Words and Music.
In fact, when you enter the exhibit, that childhood radio of Simon's is one of the first things you encounter, because the display is organized like a walk through Simon's life, with all the important artifacts associated with him coming at you in chronological order.
Guitarists will be interested to see several of Simon's main instruments up close, including the '54 Stadium acoustic given to him on his 13th birthday (his first guitar); the '63 Guild F-30 Simon used regularly with Simon & Garfunkel; the '68 Gibson ES-335 Simon began playing around the time of his fourth solo album, Still Crazy After All These Years; and the '88 Yamaha LS-400 Simon used on his celebrated solo album, Graceland.
Other cool artifacts include original lyric notebook scrawlings such as "Mrs. Roosevelt" (which became the Simon & Garfunkel hit "Mrs. Robinson") and a preliminary mini-model (a maquette) of the elaborate faux-rooftop stage the duo used on tour and at their legendary 1981 concert in New York's Central Park.
ABOVE: Preliminary model of the faux-rooftop stage Simon & Garfunkel used at their famous concert in Central Park in 1981.
Paul Simon listening stations abound in the exhibit, but the real interactive fun begins when you step inside the Roland Music Lab—a room in which you can deeply explore Simon's music via what is essentially a Roland gear petting zoo.
Roland mixing consoles and headphones allow you to isolate individual instruments or voices on famous Paul Simon songs or create brand-new remixes, and Roland vocal harmonizers (which are set to the tonality of the song at hand) allow you to sing along with Simon and harmonize with him like a pro.
Overall, Paul Simon: Words and Music puts on display nearly every item that has been integral to Simon's musical journey. However, guitar players who appreciate Simon's high-register open-string jangle on songs such as "Scarborough Faire/Canticle" may notice that one simple but crucial piece of gear is missing from the exhibit—one of Simon's capos!
ABOVE: Paul Simon's 13th birthday present—a '54 Stadium steel-string.
Paul Simon: Words and Music runs April 27 through September 3 at Los Angeles' Skirball Center.

About Queen + Adam Lambert
"Unique, special and unforgettable." – 13TH Floor.co.nz
The soaring success of the film Bohemian Rhapsody, the highest grossing music biopic of all time, has proven that the love for Queen remains as strong as ever. Lifelong New Zealand fans and new converts will be thrilled with the news that Queen original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor are teaming up once more with long-time front-man Adam Lambert on lead vocals and returning to New Zealand in February 2020 for 3 giant stadium shows with a brand-new, spectacular production.
"A beautifully executed tribute to the music that has impacted so many." – Eventfinda.co.nz
Produced in New Zealand by TEG Dainty, the epic 3 date Rhapsody Tour is set to run from February 5 to February 10, 2020 with an all-new stadium concert experience, including their first ever concerts in Wellington and Dunedin and a return to Auckland. The tour dates are:
Wednesday 5 February Wellington Westpac Stadium
Friday 7 February Auckland Mt Smart Stadium
Monday 10 February Dunedin Forsyth Barr Stadium
Tickets go on sale Wednesday 17 April from 10am NZST.
Announcing their Rhapsody Tour of New Zealand Roger Taylor said: "We are ready for New Zealand and raring to get back with our new show."
Adam Lambert said: "We have a brand-new visual spectacle that will reframe these iconic songs and we are excited to reveal the show to New Zealand fans!"
With Brian May adding: "This is a great opportunity. Our last tour featured our most ambitious production ever and got us our best notices ever. So we decided to rip it apart and get even more ambitious! Watch out, New Zealand! "
Paul Dainty, President and CEO of TEG-DAINTY said: "With the enormous success of the highest grossing music biopic of all time - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen's popularity in New Zealand is as huge as it gets, we can't wait to bring Queen + Adam Lambert back to New Zealand with this brand new stadium production and watch them bring their iconic songs to life."
The Rhapsody Tour will debut a brand-new larger-than-life production. Set designer Ric Lipson says: "Queen + Adam Lambert's Rhapsody tour will, once again for them, expand the parameters of what a live music experience can be. This new show promises to be their most spectacular yet, an innovative and interactive celebration of the continued power of Queen's music."
"A joy to behold…the show an absolute delight." – Stuff.co.nz
Since Adam Lambert first shared the stage with Queen for the 2009 American Idol final, his dynamic performances have reinvigorated the band and delighted fans worldwide. Their first full show thrilled a half-a-million-strong crowd in the Ukraine capital city of Kiev in June 2012. Since then May and Taylor's musical fireworks have been matched by Lambert's vocal prowess and stage presence, making for an explosive combination. Over 180 gigs later, the partnership has proven a commercial and critical triumph, playing to enraptured full houses in every corner of the world.
Completing the tour line-up are long-term collaborator Spike Edney on keyboards, Neil Fairclough on bass, and Tyler Warren on percussion.
"There were no stops on this bicycle ride which conjured up feelings of exhilaration,
nostalgia, elation and a healthy pinch or two of melancholy." - 13th Floor.co.nz
Then along came 20th Century Fox's Bohemian Rhapsody. The movie has topped the cinema box office in more than 35 countries around the world since its late October release, drawing worldwide box office receipts approaching $900 million. The excitement the film inspired also saw Queen propelled back on to the music charts, where they hit No. 1 on Billboard's Artist 100 Chart, reminding fans why they loved them and dazzling the previously-uninitiated. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is officially the world's most-streamed song from the 20th Century, and in NZ, the band scored its highest-charting album in 24 years with the Platinum-selling Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack.
When Freddie sang The Show Must Go On all those years back, even he couldn't have guessed that Queen music would still be thrilling audiences. Next summer, the stadium stages of New Zealand will be well and truly rocked again.
"Queen + Adam Lambert is such a victory both tonally and in substance that it probably surprises even the most diehard fans of both acts." – NZ Herald
The New Zealand dates are expected to be part of a wider tour of the region taking in six stadium shows in Australia and likely also several East Asia dates.

Arsenal's English Premier League title challenge has taken a series of serious hits since this time last month but the Gunners are too big at odds against to get the better of Bournemouth in Sunday's match at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth are ranked higher than Arsenal on the six-game English Premier League ladder, the Cherries having accrued three more points than the Gunners over that spell. But one is not ready to write off Arsenal just yet and one's English Premier League collateral form analysis suggests that the Gunners are much better than Bournemouth, particularly in matches against the division's best performing teams.
According to one's English Premier League collateral form analysis, Arsenal enjoys a 14-1-4 lead over Bournemouth, including a 2-0 win in December's reverse fixture. Those numbers are interesting in themselves but what one finds really exciting is that Arsenal leads Bournemouth 5-0-0 in English Premier League games versus the top five and 10-0-2 in top-flight matches against the top 12. In short, Arsenal performs to a higher level than Bournemouth on a regular basis when the Gunners and the Cherries encounter English Premier League heavyweights. Consequently, Arsenal is one's English Premier League top selection at odds of 11/10 2.10 +110 1.10 1.10 -0.91 with Bwin.
Arsenal's local rival, Tottenham, made it five wins on the spin when beating Norwich 3-0 on the road in English Premier League action and one is keen on the third-placed side's prospects of extending its winning streak with a home victory over Watford at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
One's English Premier League collateral form analysis is in line with the state of the ladder after 24 rounds. Tottenham holds a 12-2-5 advantage over Watford, including a 2-1 win in December's reverse fixture – the Hornets had Nathan Ake sent off in the 63rd minute when the game was tied at 1-1. Purely looking at English Premier League matches involving teams in the top seven and Tottenham's collateral form lead over Watford stands at 6-1-0, which implies that Spurs are significantly superior to the Hornets on the biggest stages.
William Hill are offering odds of 1/2 1.50 -200 0.50 -2.00 0.50 about Tottenham defeating Watford and closing the English Premier League gap on at least one of Leicester and Manchester City. That strikes one as the best odds-on bet on the English Premier League card.
Speaking of the English Premier League blockbuster between Manchester City and Leicester, the Etihad Stadium game is one in which there is likely to be over two and a half goals so snap up BetVictor's benevolent offer of odds of 7/10 1.70 -143 0.70 -1.43 0.70 .
No English Premier League side has featured in more matches that have gone over two and a half goals than Manchester City, which is 15-9 at the line, including 10-2 at home. Fourteen of Leicester's 24 English Premier League games have gone over two and a half goals, including eight of its 12 away matches. Saturday's game should not be one of those English Premier League early matches in which there is a dearth of goalmouth action – Manchester City will go for Leicester's throat and the home team's tactics ought to present opportunities for the away side to counter attack.
Finally, here are one's English Premier League collateral form figures for every one of Round 25's games. An asterisk signifies that the side enjoys a head-to-head advantage.


They built the well after the old one dried up for the fourth time. Their mother, who lives in a "colonia" — an unincorporated community — of about 400 residents outside of Yuma, Arizona had gone without water to her home for a year.
All along the U.S.-Mexico border, about 840,000 mostly low-income, immigrant Latinos have settled in colonias — cheap plots of land outside city limits without basic infrastructure such as water and sewage systems, electricity and paved roads.
Thousands of mostly immigrants – both legal and undocumented –who couldn't afford to live in the city settled in colonias. County and state regulations did not require developers to provide basic services if the land didn't exceed a certain number of lots.
In the early 1990's, after a population boom, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Agriculture officially recognized colonias as neighborhoods within 150 miles of the border that lack some basic utilities. The National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 required that all the border states set aside a percentage of Community Development Block Grants for colonias.
Some colonias have their own water systems or receive water from nearby cities if they're close enough. Their treatment facilities, pipes, wellsand septic tanks are too often old, or they can't afford the technology to properly clean the water.
Franciela Vega, business affairs manager for the Tornillo water district, said securinga loan wasn't a viable option."We knew that if we obtained a full loan, it wouldn't be affordable for the customers," Vega said.
The system, which delivers water to 72 homes, has had uranium and fluoride levels above the legal limit intermittently since 2002, but it could not afford the technology to remove the uranium.In July, it began buying water from the city of Lordsburg, which is less than 3 miles away.
Padilla tried to persuade the city water utility, Horizon Regional Municipal Utility District, to build a sewage system in Horizon View Estates. He called a state senator, the county commissioner and a state representative and invited them to Horizon View to listen to residents. He handed out more than 200 fliers inviting residents to a meeting so officials could talk about funding options for the $10 million sewage project.
Lorena Hernandez, a Tornillo resident,said undocumented immigrants in Tornillo won't accept free water filters from a nonprofit. They won't go to the water district meetings either. They told her if they go to the meetings, officials will tell them: "What are you complaining for if you're not from here?" she said in Spanish.

Q: const auto& to integer with std::min std::max I have these codes below. What's wrong with the const auto& in this context, it caused unexpected outputs.
It works fine while compiled with gcc-4.8.5, but gets unexpected outputs with gcc-4.9.2.
If I remove the & in const auto&, it works fine with both gcc versions.
// max_dim is a protobuf filed: const auto max_dim = msg.max();
// cat2_num is an element in std::vector<int32_t>: const auto cat2_num = vec[i]
const auto& res_num = std::max(1, std::min(max_dim, cat2_num));
LOG(ERROR) << res_num << ", " << max_dim << ", " << cat2_num
   << ", " << std::max(1, std::min(max_dim, cat2_num));

outputs:
 -1392522416, 3, 1, 1
 2, 3, 2, 2
 3, 3, 3, 3
 -1392522416, 3, 1, 1
 3, 3, 6, 3
 2, 3, 2, 2
 -1392522416, 3, 1, 1
 -1392522416, 3, 1, 1
 2, 3, 2, 2

=========== updated ========
I couldn't reproduce the undefined behavior with these codes:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main() {
    std::vector<int32_t> v = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 6};
    const int a = 3;
    const auto& b = a;

    for(size_t i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) {
        const auto& c = v[i];
        const auto& d = std::max(1, std::min(b, c));
        std::cout << d << ", " << b << ", " << c << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

output:
1, 3, -1
1, 3, 0
1, 3, 1
2, 3, 2
3, 3, 3
3, 3, 6

A: Your code has undefined behavior.  In
const auto& res_num = std::max(1, std::min(max_dim, cat2_num));

The 1 is a prvalue, so a temporary integer is created that gets bound to the function parameter.  This would be okay of max was like
template <typename T> const T max(const T&, const T&);

but instead it is defined like
template <typename T> const T& max(const T&, const T&);

So, if that 1 happens to be the maximum value, then max returns to you a reference to that temporary object that was created.  After that, the temporary object is destroyed1, leaving res_num as a dangling reference.  To fix the code make res_num a non-reference like
const auto res_num = std::max(1, std::min(max_dim, cat2_num));

and now you get a copy of the correct value.
1: all temporaries are destroyed at the end of the full expression the are created in

A: @NathanOliver has given clear declaration for the cause. Here is some other related infomation.

*

*const T& is helpful for large objects, but it involves lifetime and aliasing problem. So be careful.

*For int, double, pointers values, const T& gains nothing. In this situation, copy is cheaper than reference.
reference: int vs const int&

Boeing reportedly proposes up to 90 percent stake in new Embraer venture
Published Tue, Feb 6 2018 8:54 PM EST
Boeing has presented a plan to Brazil's government that would give it an 80 to 90 percent stake in a new venture encompassing Embraer's commercial jet business, a Brazilian newspaper reported.
Defense operations will remain under the Brazilian plane maker's control in order to meet government demands, Valor Economico reported.

Boeing has presented a plan to Brazil's government that would give it an 80 to 90 percent stake in a new venture encompassing Embraer's commercial jet business, a Brazilian newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The plan Boeing presented to the government on Thursday would let it take over Embraer's commercial operations by creating a new company, with defense operations remaining under the Brazilian plane maker's control in order to meet government demands, Valor Economico reported, without citing a source.
Reuters previously reported on Friday that Boeing was seeking approval in Brasilia for a plan creating a new joint company that excluded defense operations.
President Michel Temer's chief spokesman, Marcio de Freitas, said that only the Defense Ministry could evaluate Boeing's tie-up plans with Embraer. The Defense Ministry declined comment on the Valor report of a new Boeing proposal.
Boeing and Embraer did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Valor reported that under the proposal Boeing would pay Embraer in cash when the commercial assets are transferred to the new company, with most of the proceeds then distributed to shareholders as dividends.
Common shares of Embraer rose on the reported details of the proposed venture with Boeing and closed 5.2 percent higher at 22 reais on the Sao Paulo stock market.
Boeing's tie-up with Embraer, the world's third-largest planemaker, would give it a leading share of the 70- to 130-seat market, meaning stiffer competition for Bombardier and Airbus' joint CSeries program.
Embraer would retain the defense business that generates almost nothing in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Shareholders would also have 10 to 20 percent of the commercial activities transferred to the new company and be entitled to dividends.
The deal would maintain the government's so-called golden share in Embraer, a former state enterprise, giving it veto power over certain strategic decisions, including Boeing's current push for a tie-up.
The plan — if supported by the government and Embraer — could be presented to shareholders for approval as soon as the second quarter, the newspaper said.
Further meetings between Boeing and the government will not occur until after the Carnival holiday, which ends next week, it reported.

Burnaby North Secondary School is a secondary school in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It encompasses two buildings at 751 Hammarskjold Drive in Burnaby. Nearly 1,800 students from grades 8 to 12 attend the school. A statue of a Viking head, the mascot of the school's sports teams, stands in front of the two buildings. Burnaby North Secondary School is nestled in Kensington Park, providing room for the school's ice rink, 18 hole pitch and putt golfing centre, outdoor swimming pool, 3 tennis courts, 4 baseball diamonds, softball diamond, an artificial turf field, 6 lane 400 metre concrete track and field tracks, and 2 outdoor natural grass fields. It is the largest school by population and school area in the school district of Burnaby School District 41.

History
Burnaby North was established in 1922 with around 50 students. Before moving to its present site, it was housed on Willingdon Ave, which later became Burnaby Heights Junior Secondary, when it moved to the Hammarksjold location, which  was built by Coyne and Ratcliffe Construction and completed in 1962.  In 1982, Kensington Junior Secondary School (Crusaders) and Burnaby North Senior Secondary School (Vikings) were merged as one.

The project to merge "Kensington Jr" and "Burnaby North Sr" into "Burnaby North Secondary" began in the 1981/1982 school year. The objective was to see if money could be saved by sharing the resources and staff between the two schools. The former Kensington was referred as the "South Building" and Burnaby North Sr. was referred to as the "North Building". A wheelchair access elevator was added in 1983 to the North Building's east entrance.

To accommodate the merged schools, two connections were built. A level sheltered walkway was constructed to connect the ground-level south-facing entrance of the North building to the second floor of the southwestern entrance of the South building, and a wooden staircase was built on a hill to provide access from the North building's east entrance to the South building's ground-level north entrance. The latter was replaced by a sheltered walkway that had a more gradual slope to accommodate accessibility.

In 2010, the school was named Canada's Greenest School.

In, 2017 the British Columbia Ministry of Education announced the school would undergo a program to seismically mitigate and upgrade all buildings (under the British Columbia Ministry of Education Seismic Mitigation Program). On 12 October 2018, the British Columbia Ministry of Education officially announced funding for a complete rebuild of the current campus totaling CA$79.2 million. Construction is slated to be complete for September 2021, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Burnaby North Secondary School.

On 4 October 2019, controversy erupted at Burnaby North when news articles and reports surfaced of an incident involving the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests. A student allegedly placed a "Free Hong Kong" poster with the Chinese Characters for "Hong Kong Democracy" on their school locker. The poster was ripped down multiple times by a number of unknown students. Subsequently, a male student pushed the fellow female student in a "shoving incident" This resulted in a confrontation "more physical than we would like to see", said Principal David Rawnsley. Eventually, school staff broke up the incident, which had occurred in the Social Studies/History wing, and all students and their parents were notified of the incident.

Academics
Burnaby North is a highly academic school which enrolls a population of over 2000 students in grades 8 through grade 12. The student body is composed of students from many ethnic backgrounds, although most of the students are of East-Asian descent. The graduating class consists of approximately 450 to 500 students on average, many of whom are offered scholarships to attend well-known universities. Ivy League admission rates are very high in comparison to other Canadian public high schools; Burnaby North alumni have attended institutions such as Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. In recent years, Burnaby North graduates have won more than a million dollars in scholarship money annually.

In 2010, the eight high schools in the district earned almost $7.3 million in scholarship money. Burnaby North came in second place in the district, earning $1.2 million, $1.16 million of which came externally.

Burnaby North has one of the largest Advanced Placement (AP) programs in Canada. Over 30% of the student body is enrolled in at least one Honours or AP course. In May 2007, 297 students wrote a total of 687 exams in 17 subject areas and a score of 3 or higher was earned on 86% of those exams, and 104 students achieved AP Scholar status, indicating they had scored 3 out of a possible 5 on at least 3 AP exams. This indicates quite early that the program is not only large, but is also of high quality. In 2007, a total of 31 students achieved National AP Scholar status, the highest standing which requires an average score of 4 over five or more exams, surpassing the previous year's record of 18 and setting a national record. In 2008, a total of 97 students became AP Scholars, and 35 students achieved National AP Scholar status, again surpassing the previous year's record and setting a national record. In 2009, there were 86 AP Scholars and 23 National AP Scholars.

In October 2013, Burnaby North announced that it will be offering the Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Diploma starting in the 2014–15 school year. The AP Capstone program is a pilot program that is currently offered in a handful of schools worldwide.

Burnaby North also offers a very well established Career Preparation program whereby students go out on work experience for between 30 and 90 hours. The goal is to introduce students to the world of work and to enable students to explore a career area that is of interest to them. Burnaby North is at the leading edge of the latest industry training programs (ACE-IT) that enable students to complete the first year theory exams and a portion of the on-the-job training requirements of an apprenticeship program.

Athletics
Burnaby North currently offers a Hockey Academy, a Soccer Academy, and a Basketball Academy program. Several NHL players have attended this school, most notably Joe Sakic, Cliff Ronning, Mike Santorelli, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

The school has a competitive volleyball team, having won several provincial titles, and a competitive swimming team, which have won multiple district titles and often places high at the provincial level. The school has very talented soccer teams as well, boys and girls. Burnaby North is also well known for their table tennis team, which have won numerous provincial titles.

Burnaby North also had a competitive cheerleading team which performs at school events and competitions, including the Sea to Sky International Cheerleading Championships. This competition is the second largest in North America.

School Band
While Burnaby North is considered a highly academic school, its music program is also renowned. In the summer of 2015, the band director, Peter Wenzek who ran the concert bands, the orchestra, and the marching band, left Burnaby North to teach elementary students. The jazz bands, concert bands, marching band, and orchestra are taught by Ms. Alley Steiger. Its concert and jazz band programs are the largest in Western Canada, and are often invited to national music festivals, such as the Kiwanis Music Festival. The school's marching band, well known for their maroon uniforms and Viking headwear, are often invited to participate in the Calgary Stampede and other national events.  New uniforms for the marching band were introduced in June 2012 during the annual Hats Off Day Parade. It won gold in the large ensemble and orchestra classes of the 2015 Vancouver Kiwanis Music Festival.

Viking Head
Burnaby North's Viking Head statue was installed in 1994. The enormous black head wearing a two-horned helmet and facing Union Street was built by the school's Technology Education wing's welding staff and students. Traditionally, it gets decorated with a Santa hat every Christmas season, and bunny ears during Easter. During the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, it was covered with a red and white tuque and scarf, the national colours of Canada.

Filming
Burnaby North was used for the public service announcement-style commercial of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes that was shown in North America.
The movie Hot Rod also had scenes filmed at the outside stairway location.

Freedom and Capture
One feature of human behavior is the capture and imprisonment of animals and fellow humans. One of the most frightening prospects for a free human is to be captured and imprisoned. Among the worst atrocities that humans commit is the unlawful detention of citizens who are deprived of civil liberties, beaten, raped, forced to work and killed. Legal systems in free, democratic countries attempt to protect citizens from unreasonable imprisonment. Protections include the right to be represented by a lawyer, and the right to appear before a judge for an impartial hearing within days of detention. The capture and imprisonment of animals was part of a transition from nomadic, hunting-foraging lifestyles to more settled and agrarian lifestyles. The domestication of plants and animals provided food surpluses, the basis of wealth and the development of civilizations.
Animals can be captured in traps that are designed to kill or designed for live capture. The hunter kills the animal. The farmer captures and imprisons the animal who is fed, bred, used for labor and then killed and eaten. Imprisonment requires the construction of and maintenance of containers, the supply of food and water, and the removal of wastes. The attitudes, skills and habits that support animal capture also support human capture and imprisonment. Animals can be trapped by offering free food as reward, even with conspicuous devices, if the food offering is tempting enough. The animal approaches the trap with caution; however, not understanding the mechanism of capture, an animal who goes for the food is caught. Humans are skilled at making traps to catch animals and use the same strategies to trap each other.
The program for a trap is:
1. Excite approach behaviors by offering a reward
2. Minimize avoidance behaviors by concealing and disguising danger
3. Spring the trap suddenly to defeat the attempt to flee
Since humans are gregarious animals who tend to form herds and follow leaders, the polite imprisonment of human volunteers is a routine feature of all societies. Humans volunteer to enter enclosed spaces and are often controlled as herd animals, by fences, gates, doors, buildings and herders who use rewards and punishments. Understanding human behavior cannot proceed without an understanding of these group dynamics. The most important determinants of human behavior are not the tendencies of individuals acting alone, but individuals interacting with each other.
Unconditional freedom has been described in individual terms. The free and unfettered movement of body and mind and the privilege of self-determination are freedom fundamentals. For most humans most of the time, individual freedom is limited by both voluntary and involuntary capture and imprisonment. The real determinants are group dynamics.

Georgia O'Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime
Post category:Indianapolis
Big Red Arrow
One of the first stops for the Giant Red Arrow in its tour of Indianapolis cultural events is the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit at the Eiteljorg Museum. My familiarity with O'Keeffe was with her paintings of flowers and of animal bones in western landscapes, but Georgia O'Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime contains only a few of those paintings, and includes 39 paintings of quite different subjects: Lake George, rivers, horizons, pueblo buildings and even Canadian and Hawaiian scenes. You have to contact Portland's trusted plant nursery if you wish to creatively renovate or remodel your landscape and to fulfill your landscaping dream.
They span about fifty years of her career, from the 1910's, while she was an art teacher showing her work in her future husband's New York gallery, to the 1960's, long after she left Alfred Stieglitz and moved to New Mexico to paint its extraordinary landscape.
The collection is designed to show works that have not been seen before, and to convey O'Keeffe's concept of the "sublime" in her work — to express ideas, inspired by the sky and landscape, that are "lofty, grand, or exalted in thought, expression, or manner; tending to inspire awe."
We went through the exhibit on a Saturday afternoon, and while it wasn't elbow-to-elbow crowded, there were enough people visiting the exhibit gallery that it made taking time to observe the paintings difficult. In addition to affecting the flow of movement, the crowd meant hearing other people's commentary on the paintings, which was also bothersome, although I was amused to hear that I was not the only person who uttered the words "female genitalia" during our gallery visit. I'd suggest visiting the exhibit in a less "prime time" day or hour so you can be leisurely and enjoy the work and your own reflections on it.
I thought the exhibit was laid out nicely, although there were some lighting issues — direct spotlights on a few of the paintings caused a glare and obscured the subtle color, and required me to stand in odd spots to see details of the works well.
The paintings displayed here are essential to our understanding of O'Keefe's whole body of work, and provide greater insight into her vision of the natural world both abstract and real. I tend to be more awestruck, though, by the more familiar O'Keeffe paintings of bleached dead bones against the infinity of the sky, and of flowers in bloom, that look to me like, well, female genitalia, which are visions of the sublime in their own way.
Georgia O'Keefe: Pedernal with Red Hills
Although at the end of her life O'Keeffe downplayed the influence her husband, modernist photographer Alfred Stieglitz, had on her career, this exhibit examines that concept by including 25 of his photographs, some of which provide a different context of some of the same natural landscapes that O'Keeffe was painting, and also some that were portraits of O'Keeffe during various points in her life.
Included with the exhibit are paintings by other 19th century artists that were supposed to fit in with the theme of the "Sublime." They were so different from the abstracts and simple patterns in O'Keeffe's work, though, that I think the significance of what that part of the exhibit was meant to convey about the concept was lost on almost everyone, including me. It may have been that they were displayed around a corner from the other work, but it almost seemed they weren't a part of the same exhibit.

I had some experience in that myself! It probably best.to let them go. Take this as a lesson that you learn. Who you don't want to hang out with? Who you are not meant to be with?
Sometime you just end friendship that aren't good.for you.
I've continued some friendships way too long until I learned what is toxic. Once I enforced boundaries and refused disrespect these relationships ended.
Or especially when they act like they're not interested in anything you have to say, or ask you about your life, they make it all about them.
Or if you say to them that you're not happy with the way things are in the friendship, they don't try to compromise to stay friends, they just have that "oh well" attitude.
Best to be alone and a little lonely than to be in one-way situations where you are getting the short end of the stick.
I ended a five year distance friendship with a girl that mainly used me to vent her negative emotions. I couldn't take it anymore. She was basically taking me for some sort of amateur therapist and I couldn't provide that kind of support. I did listen to her, I tried to help on many, many occasions and devoted a lot of time to talking to her. Still, she wouldn't miss an opportunity to attack me or berate me for holding a different opinion. It was painful and difficult but shortly before Christmas I just had to tell her it was all over. It's strange: sometimes I feel like I've lost something important but I'm confident I wouldn't want to go back to that unpleasant situation.
My current friends are... well... Very self-absorbed. Some of them have become snobbish, arrogant and distant. Nobody ever asks how I'm doing. Sometimes, they even ignore my messages on our group chat. I don't know what to do, though, since they're my only friends and I don't handle loneliness well.
As for your friends, I don't know what to tell you. It's clear that you're the one who's disadvantaged in that situation, and I'd say get the heck out of there, but are they your only friends? Can you make new ones? Consider those aspects and, if you want, tell us more.
I don't think anyone handles loneliness very well. On the other hand...holding onto toxic situations out of a fear of being alone isn't very good either. Spending time alone can strengthen one's character and confidence and you will attract different sorts of people. I got rid of all toxic frenemies/egomaniacs...and guess what? -- I don't miss them!
Well, there are clearly people who deal with being alone a lot better than others. I think I didn't express myself correctly: loneliness is clearly a bad thing, while being alone doesn't necessarily bring on loneliness. But you get the point.
I agree with your second statement. Nobody should be forced to endure any toxic situations and/or friendships and, in that case, being alone is probably a better option. Still, I can't quite muster the necessary courage to end it all with my friends. That's a weakness of mine. Problem is I don't have much of a chance of developing any new and meaningful friendship where I live since the biggest part of people here are... well, not very interesting, with limited tastes, rude and loud, and I don't like that. My best bet would probably be to find out strategies to deal with being alone in order to make solitude productive and positive, just like you said.
Here is another thought. Sometimes the people who aren't very good friends end up leaving us, too. Because they are often narcissistic and crave attention and go out seeking new supply. This has happened to me. I have tried to be a good friend and people just get bored and suddenly vanish.
This thread has interested me. One reason I ended up alone is because I made a decision to be fearless and not hang on to friendships with people who weren't very good friends. One thing I hate is when people gossip about other people. So I dropped a lot of people because of that.
It is hard being alone...whether lonely or not. But I am really hoping it will have its benefits. I am a very loyal and giving friend and I decided I wanted friends who are like that.
I have one friend from childhood who is very loyal...so I know it is possible.
I vote to end a friendship when your friend starts chasing dark entities.

It reminds me a bit of the launch of the British electronic band CLIENT several years back, with band members anonymously known as 'Client
