Introduction: Gone are the days of the memorable pearl white or mundane silver Stradic spinning reels, the series gets a major makeover in every way with the debut of the new carbon based CI4 model. Designed to be both light and rigid the Stradic CI4 is Shimano�s newest spinning reel intended for light line fishing for everything from Trout and Panfish to lunker bass.
Impressions: Since the Stradic moved away from the pearl white motif in the beginning of the decade I have watched in eager anticipation for another Stradic that would possess as much character as the classic ST-2000. While the more recent Stradic reels upped the ante in refinement they just seemed to get lost in Shimano�s expanding lineup, not only did they look like the reels above and below them in the spectrum they performed very similarly as well. In fact I found the previous generation reels so analogous to the mainstream Sahara and higher end Sustain that they just seemed extraneous and as a result I had simply lost motivation to fish them. I yearned for the day when Shimano would bring back the pearl white Stradic which was not only an easily identifiable reel but also represented a great overall value in terms of performance for the money.
Who knows if Shimano will ever bring back the pearl white Stradic but when I got news of the new CI4 I started to get excited about the prospect of a Stradic reel that would once again standout in the company�s crowded spinning lineup. The �CI4� stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. The bottom line is that CI4 is a reinforced Carbon Fiber material. In terms of cosmetics the Stradic CI4F is a stark contrast from all of the previous Stradics and features a much darker and more aggressive look and feel.
The anodized red spool is a nice highlight and instead of a traditional knob the reel features a round EVA handle grip that both looks and feels modern as well as matches the grips found on many higher end US and JDM rod offerings, including the company�s own Cumara series. In fact just looking at the new Stradic CI4 and I could already imagine how well the reel would match up with the Cumara rods.
The CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber.
The Stradic CI4F makes use of a new carbon fiber material on both the frame and sideplate and the internals feature all the latest Shimano designs including Paladin gear durability enhancement. The reel also makes use to the complete spectrum of features within the company�s propulsion line management system as well as the Aerowrap II Oscillation. The Stradic now features a waterproof drag and there are a number of features designed to make maintenance both quicker and easier including the maintenance port and a repairable clicker.
Interestingly Shimano�s new Stradic may be one of the company�s most application specific reels as it is only available in two small sizes (1000 and 2000). The Stradic is designed specifically for light mono and fluorocarbon lines or a pairing of PowerPro braid with a fluorocarbon leader.
As the real world tests begun we couldn't help but admire how well the reel balanced with the Cumara rods for a very light total outfit, the total rig weighed just over 11oz.

My expectations of Orval were for the most part blown to pieces. Tasting this wild, assertive beer paints in the mind pictures of basic technologies and broad brush brewing techniques. In reality just about everything at Orval was the cutting edge of the cutting edge, most especially the lab. Beers from Belgium's second biggest brewer were on the floor of the lab awaiting analysis because the brewery in question didn't have equipment up to the standard of Orval. A UK brewer making the same volume of beer would have a tenth of the equipment.
Jean-Marie was justly proud of his brewery and lab and accepted my overstated jealousy, admiration and offer to take over the Orval reins come his retirement in a couple of years with patience and humility. Humour was never far away during my visit and when Jean-Marie agreed to come over to Cornwall to collaborate on a brew I assumed that he was winding me up. After checking several times more than was sensible, I finally accepted that I was actually going to be doing a collaborative brew with the man in charge at Orval! I reckon if I had checked again he would have thrown me out.
With the summer out of the way Jean-Marie and I are getting down to the finer points of the brew design. My rationale for the visit to Orval was to learn about the beer and the brewery and to come away armed with the knowledge to enable me to make a Patersbier. What has come out of our discussions is a beer which features some unusual combinations and is a long way from where I thought we would be before the visit. I assumed that the beer would be an ale with a red -brown colour and a lot of hop. What we now plan to make is a traditional ale wort, albeit with the addition of a good measure of sucrose, which will be fermented cold by a lager yeast in an ale fermenter. The beer will then be moved to a maturation vessel and after a diacetyl rest, lagered on dry Saaz hops for as long as my patience holds up. The 4.5% ABV beer is then to be bottle conditioned to a high CO2 level. The inclusion of Brettanomyces in bottle is yet to be decided on. Ever heard of a beer like this before?
So a date of the 4th October is set for the royal visit and the brew. The finished beer should be available before Christmas. I will of course update my blog as things develop.
Sounds like a fine idea to me! Especially the Saaz in the lagering tank.
Wow, quite the brewing coup! Sounds fantastic.
Thanks gents, I am very excited although a little anxious that it will hit the mark. Whatever happens, I'm sure it's gonna be a fantastic experience.


Industrial complex is one of the most dynamic sectors of the local economy. It accounts for about 26% of the regional capital assets and employs 21,7% of the working population.
Manufacturing industry is the leading industrial sector in the region. Oil and gas industry is being developed. In 1998, the Tevriz gas condensate field was put in exploitation for production of natural gas. Since 2001, the south-western part of the Krapivinsk field has been developed for oil production.
Major industrial enterprises determining the economic specialization of the Omsk region are concentrated in the administrative center – the City of Omsk.
Determinants of industrial growth in recent years were stable operating conditions on the domestic and foreign markets, creation of new industrial enterprises and technical re-equipping and moernization programs.
In 2012 was laid the foundation for the formation of a new model of economic development of the Omsk region, for institutional reforms, aimed at significantly improving the investment and business climate, for formation and development of industrial clusters, for investment encouraging and creation of investment relations system adaptive to the needs of business.

Reginaldo Rossi – Nos Teus Braços (1972) (CBS – 137777)
By Dr. Vibes September 7, 2019 September 7, 2019 Uncategorized
The song "Ser ou não ser" may not be Shakespeare, but Reginaldo Rossi sure did sing some catchy tunes in his heyday. Rossi was the city of Recife's contribution to the Jovem Guarda music style of Brazilian 60's pop-rock in the era when electric guitars were considered too low-class and "foreign" by music critics. Although the cover of this 1972 Reginaldo Rossi album looks like it was created by an intern while the graphic arts department was on strike, Rossi got to work in good studios thanks to being signed to CBS, the same label that had Roberto Carlos, so the production value is pretty high. And while he obviously owed a debt to Roberto, Rossi definitely had his own style. He only wrote a couple of the tunes here, but they are some of the best ones. Continue reading

This post is obviously coming far too late in the day for you to break it out at your Sunday barbeque or churrasco, but there is always next weekend. It's been a while since I posted anything and I've been told that it is of paramount important for your "brand" to stay constantly active in social media.
This is Aldo Sena, one of the greats of guitarrada, a party music from Pará listened to by working class people, and hence largely ignored by the Brazilian cultural elite because they only care about poor people when they can be turned into folklore. The songs on this record comfortably move between related styles like lambada and brega, and there is even a reggae-brega that isn't half bad. When I first heard the vocal tunes on this record, I felt like they were
filler, but I no longer feel that way. They are pretty good,
especially Menina do Cinema which has that strum-along sing-along Jovem Guarda thing going, and I like Gosto de Você although it may
be the least dread faux-reggae song you've heard in a while (hopefully
you won't find it dreadful..).
Most of Aldo's repertoire here is instrumental music, centered on his electric guitar that has a clean tone you might associate more with surf music than Brazilian music. A lot of the popular music of northern Brazil has as much if not more in common with things happening with its neighbors in Latin America and the Caribbean than with the sounds found in MPB. You are more likely to hear music that sounds like bachata or cumbia than bossa nova. Mestre Vieira, who is kind of the godfather of this stuff (more James Brown than Corleone of course), used to play lots of choro and chorinho at the very beginning of his career, but also played lots of mambo and merengue, an omnivorous music appetite that would have caused music critic José Ramos Tinhorão to begin foaming at the mouth. If guitarrada suddenly came on the scene today, there would be people using words like "transnational" and "hybrid" and "postmodern," but in the 70s and 80s the gatekeepers of taste would have been, well, unlikely to use those words. Words weren't really necessary anyway when you could just keep people from being part of the conversation from the beginning.
Things have changed, though, with Aldo Sena having been featured as the youngest member in a "supergroup" called Mestres de Guitarrada along with Mestre Vieira and Mestre Curica. They received attention via showcase presentations at Itaú Cultural in far away lands like São Paulo, and a CD of music released in a great looking but highly impractical wooden box format that has been pretty much out of print and scarce since it the week it was released. Neither of those things would have happened without the intervention of researchers and producers with access to the cultural elite. So it goes with "cultural preservation" and "rescue" missions. You can see a clip of one of these Itaú Cultural shows below, with some of the audience restricted to chair-dancing until finally people can't resist any longer and end up dancing in the aisles.
Although the power of AM radio airplay should not be underestimated, the bread and butter of artists like Aldo Sena was in live performances. The other live clips, filmed more recently by an audience member at a small club in Ceará, proves that he still sounds great, and the people still dance. Boy do they dance. In the clip that I've put first, the band rips through the song "Melô do Bode," a song by Vieira e Seu Conjunto that is one of my favorite things in the whole world (you can find it here), and the clip below it featuring the fabulous dancers is a carimbó. The last two clips below that are studio tracks from the actual album featured in this post.
** Interesting side note: this needledrop is from an LP that once belonged to Rádio Tamandaré, an AM station in Recife that began in the 1950s and has since converted to an entirely evangelical Christian format (100% Jesus!).

We survived the Lady reading last week! And much as I hate to admit it, I actually learned a whole bunch of stuff. Most of it's good news: we're definitely onto something. There's much rewriting/reconsidering to do (not to mention the fact that we only have one act so far [!!!]), but having seen what works and what doesn't – even in a cobbled-together stumble-through such as this was – I can report that inspiration and motivation are running high at my house. As is despair, seeing as how I am still out of work. Life's great! And it's all over. Business as usual.
Matt Hinkley was our superhuman musical director, who not only taught all of what turned out to be a bit too much music (hooray!), but also managed to ridicule me mercilessly for the three chords I labeled wrong. (That's okay, because I can take it, and Hinkley, you'll get yours.) Even though I envision the eventual presentation to include elements of electronica (or whatever we're calling it by then) fused with prerecorded plainsong and chant (Local 8-0-who?) with the pop-flavored melodies layered on top, Matt was able to evoke a surprising amount of atmosphere from one measly upright piano.
But of course, the hugest, most massive thanks goes to our beyond-brilliant cast. With a mere two days' music rehearsal under their belts, they pretty much read the script cold and put on a show, fearless pros that they are. Down the road, we're hoping for a cast of 16, so these 10 maniacs had to pull double- and even triple-duty – but nobody complained, and everybody totally BROUGHT IT. I wasn't kidding last week when I said they were geniuses, but I also wasn't being coy by not telling you who they were. I just wanted to make sure that nobody wanted to remain anonymous or had any qualms about being publicly associated with this project. They didn't. So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you (in order of appearance [in the alphabet]), The Lady Bunch: Ephie Aardema; David Brian Colbert; Wilkie Ferguson; Brittney Lee Hamilton; Colin Hanlon; Morgan James; Joey Khoury; Eric Michael Krop; Donna Vivino; and Bayla Whitten. And Eric Gilde read the stage directions (we felt like we were there!). And Eric Bernat wrote the book AND smashed himself in the face trying to adjust a music stand, so that happened.
And then, suddenly, it was over. I wish I could hang around with these people every day. (And maybe someday it'll happen!) The whole process was just the right combination of fun and nerve-wracking, and in the end, turned out to be very informative and not a little rewarding…and let's not forget daunting. So for now, the work and screaming contradictions continue. Because this show is already great! And terrible! I love musical theatre! Do I smell gas?

If Facebook ads know that I love cupcakes, it can't be that hard to figure out what frakking holiday I celebrate.
Many of us have had the classic client presentation that ends with "I just don't like it." Everything can be technically correct - brilliant even, and it still won't "feel right." Why?

Q: Doctrine2 Limit the rows to sum in a query I have a query that return a sum, but I want to limit the number of rows to query, but is not working.
This is my query:
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('result')
        ->select('SUM(result.generalPoints) AS generalPoints, SUM(result.coefficient) AS coefficient')
        ->join('result.inscription', 'inscription', Join::WITH, 'inscription.user = :user')
        ->join('inscription.race', 'race')
        ->join('inscription.category', 'category', Join::WITH, 'category.generalRanking = true')
        ->join('race.event', 'event')
        ->join('event.competitionSeason', 'competitionSeason', Join::WITH, 'competitionSeason = :competitionSeason')
        ->orderBy('generalPoints', 'DESC')
        ->addOrderBy('coefficient', 'DESC')
        ->setParameter('competitionSeason', $competitionSeason)
        ->setParameter('user', $user);

    if (isset($limit)) {
        $qb->setMaxResults($limit);
    }

    return $qb->getQuery()->getOneOrNullResult();

Some idea ?
Thanks

A: As sum is an aggregation function its result is one row, the limit statement is applied afterwards. You need create subquery producing multiple rows with generalPoints and coefficient, limit number of rows in this subquery and use the aggregation function in the wrapping query.

"When people think of 1970's hedonistic excesses, few things come to mind more readily than Studio 54. From the instant the doors opened until it was dramatically shuttered 33 months later and its owners jailed, the legendary disco was the fabulous beating heart of Manhattan's night life. Celebrities (Andy, Mick, Liz, Farrah, Michael, Liza and many more), socialites, the glamorous and the queer all partied with an unbridled freedom in the neon and glitter to an infectious disco beat, and 54 was the place to be.
At first blush, Studio 54 looked like a risky idea. Nestled right up against 1970's Hell's Kitchen and requiring nearly half a million dollars to ready it for opening night, the enterprise was a go-for-broke, everything-on-the-line gamble for entrepreneurs Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager.

Is There a Perception Problem with the American Jury System?
by Kacy Miller
If you search for "jury duty" on social media, you're likely to find more than a few posts of people whining about it. The litany goes like this: it's boring, the pay is terrible, the room smells like feet and old cheese – it never ends.
While most folks aren't too keen on the disruption to their daily routine, the vast majority of jurors are committed to fulfilling their duty to serve, and are interested in learning more about the judicial process.
The Pew Research Center conducted a study in April and asked respondents how they felt about jury duty.
A vast majority — 67% — chose the most civic-minded response: "Serving on a jury is part of what it means to be a good citizen." Clearly, this bodes well for those of us who value the jury system and want to preserve it.
But if the majority of Americans are supportive of jury duty, why do courts across the country have such a difficult time getting folks to actually show up?
Aside from the obvious reasons such as inaccurate address information, scheduling conflicts, and ridiculously low juror pay, the study does suggest some concerning trends.
Only half of surveyedMillennials viewed jury service as a sign of good citizenship compared to 70% of all other age groups. While this Tweet is shared as comic relief, the reality is almost one-third of Millennials are still living in their parents' homes, and many are still finding their way in the world of work. Millennials are on target to be the largest generation in the prospective jury pool by 2020. So the group with the least propensity to view jury service as an important part of being a good citizen is poised to make up the biggest piece of our jury pool.
While 71% of surveyed Caucasians had a positive perception, this belief was shared by only 61% of Hispanics and 58% of African Americans. More than half, but certainly not what we jury advocates would like to see. Population projections suggest that the racial and ethnic makeup of the country is growing increasingly more diverse, and by 2045, less than 50% of Americans will be Caucasian. We've got some work to do on improving the public's perception of jury service.
59% of Americans with a high school diploma (or less)viewed jury duty favorably, as compared to 72% for those with post-secondary education.
Couple these trends with the fact that the percentage of criminal and civil cases actually making it to a jury are around 4% and less than 1%, respectively, and one has to wonder: Is the American jury on the path to extinction? With plea bargains, summary judgment, required arbitrations, and the high cost of litigation, maybe.
So what's the solution?
Educating the public about the importance of juries, the Constitutional and historical basis for juries, and improving the jury experience for everyone involved will certainly help. Fortunately, efforts are being made around the country to do just that.
The New York University School of Law recently launched an incredible program called the Civil Jury Project (whose director is Texas's own Steven Susman). Its mission is to preserve the 7th Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees citizens the right to a jury trial in common-law civil matters. It focuses on three key areas:
Evaluating the current role of the American jury, reasons for its decline, and what consequence such a decline has on the judicial system.
Providing educational programs and publicity for jury-related studies and policy proposals.
Evaluating reasonable and practical ways to improve the efficiency and fairnessof the right to trial by jury.
It's clear there's a public perception problem related to jury service and trial by jury, so let's do our part by promoting pro-jury sentiment, educating the public about the importance of juries, and — on some level — becoming part of the solution.
Trial by jury is a foundation of our justice system. It warrants preservation. It may not be easy… but few things worth having are.
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Moving yourself doesn't necessarily guarantee saving money and time. Moreover, multiple advantages take place when hiring moving assistants, which are well worth a second look. Unless you are moving a one bedroom condo within the same house and you do not have many large and fragile items, hiring reliable movers is always the wiser choice.

I apologise in advance if this reads a bit like an end of year School report, but that's basically what it is. The family's back on Tiree, just as we were a year ago when I bagged 202 miles on a folding bike. I didn't know it at the time but those miles were destined to have a profound impact on the following 11 months…
So much has happened: Wee Oscar, Vanessa and MacKenzie were in there from the start but now you can add the amazing Jimmy Harrington and the fighting spirit of Nathalie Traller to the mix. LifeCycle has become so much more than just a bloke on a bike. I kind of feel that there are people out there who 'get it' and I share their inspiration and motivation. What I've really come to realise is that there are people all over the world, a community if you like, all doing the same things, sharing the same vision and fighting the same battles in the name of children's cancer. I am not alone.
What is truly remarkable however is the way this holiday, this time off from the 5am starts and all the big hills, has crept up on me. In this game, experience and reflection are everything. I still vividly remember setting off from Motherwell with Dunkant at 10:15pm on a Wednesday night at the start of May and thinking "next stop Carrbridge, 165 miles away". Scary? Yeah, sort of. Daunting? Most definitely. But you don't get anywhere in life by looking at those challenges and thinking "Nah, I think I'll give that one a miss". Not only was Motherwell to Carrbridge a celebration of mind over body over logic, it was the springboard for everything that has happened since.
I read on Twitter this morning that Graham Spiers, sports journalist for the Herald newspaper, and a virtual next door neighbour in that he lives in a farmhouse just a few miles away outside Dunlop, had cycled back from a stint at the Commonwealth Games yesterday. "It nearly killed me" were his exact words. Graham, Neuroblastoma kills children every day of the year , not just in this country but across the globe. Nathalie Traller is desperately seeking therapy in the United States, denied to her only because she's only 15, yet that same therapy is available over the age of 18. Nathalie doesn't have three years. And over in Australia, Jimmy Harrington, fresh from his 11,000 mile walk round the entire coastline of that vast continent, is now planning to host a music festival in Adelaide in October in aid of Brainchild. These people are my new inspiration, the people who refuse to just sit back and let the world just pass them by. So Graham, I invite you to get on your bike and join me for a week of LifeCycle: then return to your newspaper and put the experience into words: and I'll eat my hat if you take me up on the offer…
We bought the bikes to Tiree but I promised myself that this would be a proper holiday and that there would be no repeat of last year's daily laps of the island. For a start this is a chance to let the body recover for a few days. I've been carrying a few different injuries for the past few weeks and because of the schedule that's coming up in a few weeks' (more of which nearer the time…), time off the bike is really important.
It's kind of ironic that we came away from Glasgow just as the Commonwealth Games were ramping up. I watched the Marathon this morning and marvelled not just at the scenery but at the way the people of Glasgow came out in huge numbers to cheer on the athletes. In the Women's race, Scotland was represented by Hayley Haining. Watching Hayley took me back to the Carluke Highland Games in what must have been 1985 or 86. We had a bunch of our Cumbernauld kids entered in the middle distance (800m) races and our Junior Girls were literally blown away by a wee 13 year old from Nith Valley AC. In a two lap race, that wee girl won by the length of the home straight. That was the first time I saw Hayley Haining. Because Nith Valley were a Division 1 club at the time while we were Division 4, I only got to watch wee Hayley at championships and Highland Games but 20 years later, I caught up with her again at the Great Scottish Run. She's just finished first Scot in the women's race and I reminded her of that day at Carluke. She smiled and remembered fondly of her upbringing in the grass roots of the sport. Hayley Haining is a true legend and a great ambassador for Scottish Athletics. It was also nice to reflect on that race and that day at Carluke with John Morrison, the best of our young crop at Cumbernauld back in those days. Morrison, as he was known back then, was a decent 800m runner in his own right, a sub 2 minute youth in his prime, and it was great craic to reminisce over the old days on Facebook while the Marathon was in progress. Morrison, you're a legend too mate, but a whole host of different reasons…
So what of the future?
When I set out on August 19th last year, I had a notional idea that I might manage 20,000 miles at a push. But through a long, dark, cold, wet winter, push came to shove and I upped the target to 25K. And egged on by Wullie Broon and a host of Bampots, I started dreaming of greater things. The week leading up to the first anniversary is going to bring up 8,000 miles and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to realise that 8,000 x 4 years is way in excess of 25K miles. At the current rate of progress, LifeCycleForNeuroblastoma is going to be done in the late summer of 2016, eighteen months ahead of schedule. Then what?
Suggestions via comments on the blog, for this is just a wee End Of Term report….

William Semple – relationship with energy
Zack Wood, Play: Energy of the Unknown
Can we build a relationship
with Energy?
By William Semple
Visuals by Burak Arikan
The Complexity of Interconnectedness
The other day I was thinking about how we in the west use energy in buildings, how we measure that use and why our preoccupation with 'measuring results' often seems to make little difference in our overall patterns of use and consumption of energy. The very form of this discussion revolves around the growing perception of the compelling need to address the issue of climate change and how measurably and significantly reducing our consumption of energy is part of this. Climate Change (and reducing energy consumption) is, of course, a complex issue – a web with many tentacles that reaches off in many directions. This complexity challenges our successes and reminds us, if we wish to acknowledge it, of the great in-connectedness of things. Considering and emphasizing interconnectedness is a very Buddhist view of reality. It is also a perspective that is held by the Indigenous people of the world. It is also a scientific reality. In different ways, each of these three perspectives (i.e. Buddhism, Indigenous philosophies and western science) highlight that, in order to understand 'reality' it is essential to understand the 'relationships' greatly influence the outcomes.
Network of Artists Who Exhibited Together (2010)
http://burak-arikan.com/network-of-artists-who-exhibited-together
But I have wondered if, in trying to solve our issue with energy, have we not in fact looked at the complexity of 'the energy reality' and its relationship to economy and society and missed seeing the very perspectives that could assist in taking us to where we want to go? My own experience has me wondering, 'Can we build a relationship with energy?' To begin pursuing this question I think it essential that I share where this question has come from. I am an architect and a building scientist – having entered into the building industry first as a carpenter. I have a strong environmentalist/ecologist bent that has long been a significant aspect of my interest in energy efficient buildings and solar designs. I have learned much about buildings by constructing them and testing how well they work (I am well versed in the use of blower doors, thermographic equipment, as well as the use of energy modelling tools in the design process and the monitoring of performance of houses after construction). In furthering my understanding of how to accurately measure energy use in houses in particular I have listened with great interest to the ongoing debates on measuring energy use that are carried out between what, using research methodology categories, would be called the 'positivist' and 'post-positivist' schools of thought on this. While the 'positivist' believes that you cannot get a true understanding of energy use in a house unless you can control the experiment (i.e. through simulated conditions with no occupants), the 'post-positivist' school of thought takes the position that understanding how people live in a building is part the equation and must be included in the analysis. Both I feel, miss an essential point.
ARB (2006)
http://burak-arikan.com/arb
It is important that I share that I have learned much about people's views of the world and how this influences their actions, by spending time looking, listening and 'being in' other cultures. In addition to this pragmatic side of myself that I shared, I also have a strong bent towards what is sometimes called 'cultural anthropology'. I have worked with Tibetan communities in India and Tibet and now work almost exclusively on housing projects for Indigenous communities in northern Canada. And while these experiences have provided enormous technical challenges, it would be fair to say that the cultural experiences and the learning from others has had a far greater influence on my work – now often guiding the process through which this work is carried out.
The idea that the human species needs a different approach to solving our challenging energy and environmental problems is not new, nor is it a notion that I have created. This idea, for example, was a significant part of an open discussion at the International Conference on Sustainable Development that was held at Columbia University in New York in September 2015. Moderated by the eminent economist and sustainability scholar Jeffery Sachs, with key note speakers such as Paul Kigame, the president of Rawanda, the venue provided a high profile discussion on climate change and sustainability, one that was to be followed by significant meetings at the UN in New York on this topic. One of the 'calls' of this conference was the need for the human species (read 'the west') to experience a 'paradigm shift' – that we require a new way of looking at the world and our place in it. Yet as I listened to these words and the (at times) impassioned pleas that accompanied them, I found myself thinking about the perspectives of many Indigenous peoples – how through their words and the ways of life that they follow, they are living representations of the very sustainability values that we are trying to foster. And yet in this forum in New York, the voices and faces of Indigenous people were significant in their absence – their words, their values and perspectives had been left out of the discussion. Yet it is from Indigenous peoples that I believe we have much to learn on this very issue.
Understanding Indigenous Perspectives
One of the most significant principles that Indigenous people place value on, is the importance of relationships. Within Indigenous communities, all work, all connections, all that is done is carried out within the context of 'relationships'. When arriving in a community to work on a project, the first thing that is done is the building of relationships. This marks both the beginning of one's connection in the community, and places you within the community based on the relationships that you have made. For Indigenous people, reflecting the nature of Indigenous languages, the word 'relationships' is more accurately seen as a verb, not a noun – this 'active' aspect effectively describing the interactive nature of relationships within an Indigenous context, and with this how relationships cannot be separated from 'process' and process cannot be separated from outcome.
It is also important to understand the different relationships that exist within many Indigenous communities and societies – those of the family; of the extended family and the clan; clan to clan relationships; and the relationship that exists with 'the land'. It is this latter relationship, the relationship with the land, where we of Euro-American culture have the most to learn from. There is a saying amongst the Dene peoples of the Northwest Territories in Canada that 'The land is our Home. Our home is the land'. This saying reflects the deep relationship that the Dene have with the land. It is the place of their ancestors, it is where they have hunted and trapped for thousands of years, it the land from where their stories come. It is also the relationship that has sustained and aided the Dene through centuries of colonialism – it is to the land that they could always return to for food and comfort, for spirituality and identity. That the stories of the elders reflect a deep seated relationship with place is not an accident. When Indigenous people speak of the land as home, they speak eloquently about what is a deep seated 'relationship'.
Tense Series No I (2007)
http://burak-arikan.com/tense
This connection to the land has helped provide Indigenous people in seeing their actions within a longer term perspective, a standpoint that has not been lost in spite of all that colonialism has imposed upon them. When making decisions, many Indigenous peoples of Canada speak of the need to consider courses of action within the perspective of seven generations – where from the perspective of the present generation, one is compelled to look both back three generations for the lessons and wisdom of the past and ahead three generations to better consider the long term implications of today's decisions.
The Significance of Listening
I was recently reading some excerpts from the 1970's Inquiry into the development of the proposed MacKenzie Valley Pipeline in northern Canada – a project to build a natural gas pipeline from the Arctic Circle to northern Alberta. The inquiry, which was considering the impact of the pipeline on Dene lands, was chaired and facilitated by Justice Thomas Berger. In a masterful stroke of sensitivity, Berger visited anyone who wished to speak – listening to them in their homes, community halls and schools. The inquiry sits as perhaps one of the finest examples of 'listening' and acting upon the input of Indigenous people that Canada has seen – a very sad commentary on the relationship that Canada has had with its Indigenous people. As stated by Justice Berger:
We Canadians think of ourselves as a northern people, so the future of the North is a matter of concern to all of us. In fact, it is our own appetite for oil and gas and our own patterns of energy consumption that have given rise to proposals to bring oil and gas from the Arctic. It may well be that what happens in the North and to northern peoples will tell what kind of a people we are (Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry Transcript, Volume 49 Page 4767).
There were many moving pieces of testimony by Dene from across the Northwest Territories, but few were forthright as the testimony that Chief Frank T'Seleie of community of Fort Good Hope. Directed towards Bob Blair, president of Foothills Pipeline, the developer of the proposed project, Chief T'Seleie pointedly stated:
I do not envy you, Mr. Blair, I feel sorry for you. Mr. Blair, there is a life and death struggle going on between us, between you and I. Somehow in your carpeted boardrooms, in your panelled office, you are plotting to take away from me the very centre of my existence. You are stealing my soul. … By scheming to torture my land you are torturing me. By plotting to invade my land you are invading me. If you ever dig a trench through my land, you are cutting through me.
You are like the Pentagon, Mr. Blair, planning the slaughter of innocent Vietnamese. Don't tell me you are not responsible for the destruction of my nation. You are directly responsible. You are the twentieth century General Custer. You have come to destroy the Dene Nation. You are coming with your troops to slaughter us and steal land that is rightfully ours. You are coming to destroy a people that have a history of thirty thousand years. Why? For twenty years of gas? Are you really that insane?
It would appear that we are that insane. While the MacKenzie Valley pipeline did not go ahead, countless other projects across the globe have been implemented through an economic system driven by 6 month timelines and a cost benefit system that has little appreciation of anything other than short term economics.

Perspectives of the Land
In Canada and in other parts of the world, during the colonial period and up to today our exploitation of the land was also justified through the concept of 'terra nullius', a term that effectively which means 'empty land'. (Smith, p 115) It is an important term as it is one that was used by colonial powers across the world to take possession of land that was viewed through 'western eyes' as being unproductive – and having no 'productive' use meant it was open for the taking – that making it 'productive' in the western sense gave it a purpose where before it had none. All wilderness fell within this categorization, and in many parts of the world it still does. For the Dene and other Indigenous people the land is not a wilderness, it is their livelihood and their independence. It is their source for food and energy. It is their home. It is not a commodity, but rather it is a gift given to them by the creator to cherish and care for. As shared by Patrick Scott in his book 'Talking Tools', "The concept of land ownership, when the white man first arrived, was foreign to Aboriginal culture as they could not comprehend owning these lands and firmly believed they were one with the lands which were provided for the collective use and benefit of all living creatures." (Scott, p 47)
In a presentation given in January 2016 at the inauguration of Allan Teramura, the new president of the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (who is a strong advocate for Indigenous peoples), Cree Author Joseph Boyden shared with the architectural audience how the carving of a totem pole for Indigenous peoples and for the 'white man' would differ, and how this differentiation reflects the perception that each people have of 'the land'. Boyden noted that where a white man's totem would be distinguished by the human image at the top of the pole (symbolizing our dominance over all other things), the Indigenous totem would be distinguished by having the human would be at the bottom of the pole (symbolising our dependence on all other things for our survival). It was an apt description of the perceptual divide that exists between us as peoples.
But, of course, we also have a great divide with the land. We consider the land to be just another commodity and use it as such. There is no reverence, no giving thanks for the things that the earth provides. This 'giving of thanks' remains a part of the philosophy of Indigenous people today. It is demonstrated through simple acts, such as the act of a hunter who performs a ceremony of thanks for the life of a caribou whose own life is given so that others can survive. Do any of us feel a sense of thanks for the things that we are blessed with – have any of us given thanks for the 'heat' that is in our houses, and what was sacrificed so it could be so?
In considering whether we 'Can we build a relationship with Energy?', I am also left to reflect on what I have learned from Tibetans, a people who also see sacredness in the land upon which they live and who also consider the interconnectedness of all things in their actions. While I have learned about the significance of relationships and a 'revering the land' from First Nations peoples, I have learned a great deal about ritual and mindfulness from Tibetans. For Tibetans the practice of mindfulness, of the importance of awareness and of understanding the implications of ones actions, is key tenant in their daily practice. This comes in to the construction of buildings and includes the numerous rituals and ceremonies that are part of the building process – rituals such as 'gaining permission to use the land' from the earth deities that reside in the land. While these may seem archaic to the western scientific mind, when taken within the context of mindfulness, they cause everyone involved to stop and consider the responsibility for using the land well. Based on my personal experience of these rituals, I believe they represent a process we could all learn from.
Seven Generations Thinking
So, I am left considering what I have learned from Indigenous people and Tibetans – about relationships with the land, long term thinking, mindfulness and the use of rituals as cues in the process. To begin, I think it important that we consider the perspective of seven generations of thinking in all of our decision making. This may be one of the most significant changes that we could make to most things that we do. It would compel us to listen to the past, to 'understand' the present and to consider the future carefully. To do this effectively also implies the importance of ensuring that all voices are at the table. We need not only to repair the land and our 'relationship' with the land, but also to repair our relationships with each other. For Indigenous people this means learning to listen. It means being respectful of the views of others. It means learning to develop consensus.
Tense Series No II (2010)
http://burak-arikan.com/the-thing-that-grows-by-wiping-out-its-past-and-present
A prerequisite to repairing our relationship with the land rests in our ability to better consider the land upon which we live as our home – and that our survival depends upon our caring for that home. This requires that we learn to see the land and all of this comes from it as much more than just a commodity. It is the paradigm shift that is necessary for our survival and the survival of the other species who we share this home with. The question, of course, are we willing to learn? As shared by Indigenous scholar Daniel Wildcat,
The most difficult changes required are not those of a physical, material, or technological character, but changes in worldviews and generally taken-for –granted values and beliefs that are embedded in modern, Western-influenced societies. In this respect, what humankind actually requires is a climate change – a cultural climate change, a change in our thinking and actions. (Wildcat, p 5)
There is a cautious optimism in Canada today that some of this change in thinking and actions is beginning to be applied to 'the relationship with Canada's Indigenous peoples'. The new Trudeau government ran on a pledge of mending this relationship, promising a new approach to addressing the needs of Indigenous peoples. The percentage of Indigenous people who voted in the election rose significantly, as did the voting of young people. Ten Indigenous peoples were elected to parliament in this election, with four of these new parliamentarians being made members of the cabinet. Conversations and issues that were being ignored are now openly being addressed, with the voices of Indigenous people at the forefront. Though there are decades of work to do, there is a sense of guarded optimism and a new willingness to work together to solve these challenges. It was the increased voting of Indigenous and young people that gave the liberals their majority – and it is to Indigenous and young people, in reacting to a positive message of inclusion and change, that we owe a great deal of thanks and gratitude.
So while I will continue to design and build energy efficient housing, and to monitor how well these houses perform (it is useful knowledge), I see that the solution to the challenge of climate change may come only when we see ourselves as small parts of something much greater than any of us are, when we all see our destinies as being intricately connected, and when we begin to develop a reverence for this beautiful blue green planet that is 'our home'. Thankfully, there are peoples out there who can teach us much about this – if we are ready to listen.

On January 18, 2001, Dennis Schnurr was appointed the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Duluth by Pope John Paul II.
He received his episcopal consecration on April 2, 2001 from Archbishop Harry Flynn, with Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo Higuera and Bishop Lawrence Soens serving as co-consecrators. He selected as his episcopal motto: Quaerite Faciem Domini, meaning, "Seek the face of the Lord" (Psalms 105:4).

Archbishop Dennis Schnurr
Papal Artifacts is always honored to remember Archbishop Dennis Schnurr on the anniversary of his consecration as bishop of Duluth, Minnesota, in 2001. He currently serves as Archbishop of the Diocese of Cincinnati, Ohio.
We are grateful for his gifts to the Diocese of Duluth, and remember today, not only his work in Duluth, but also his devotion to our seminarians, his generosity to Papal Artifacts by way of his contributions, and his continued friendship with the Papal Artifacts' Curator, Father Richard Kunst.
A product of the NAC and Gregorian named to the Minnesota diocese in 2001, the Iowa-born (now Archbishop) first came to wide notice in two national-level assignments during his priesthood: first, his role as executive director for 1993's World Youth Day in Denver, a year after which he was elevated to general secretary of the US bishops' conference, where he served until the Duluth appointment.
Prior to that, Archbishop Schnurr — who had been chancellor of his home-diocese of Sioux City by his early 30s — was a local aide on the staff of the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington.

Why You Should Use a Quantity Surveyor When You Build That New Extension - Derek Gough Associates Ltd.
Almost all types of construction projects, ranging from large building projects to residential extensions, can benefit from the services of a quantity surveyor. Why aren't companies and individual property owners taking advantage of the services quantity surveyors offer?
In order to better answer that question, it is imperative to understand the critical role that a quantity surveyor plays in a construction project.
Also known as construction economists, project managers and cost engineers, quantity surveyors are more known for their work in large-scale commercial projects. In these projects, their main role is to oversee the costs involved in a construction project — or, to put it succinctly, to ensure that the property owner gets the best value out of his investment.
The main task of a quantity surveyor is to cost the building project. But apart from this critical function, a quantity surveyor also performs other tasks that can effectively reduce the risks associated with any type of construction project. These tasks include cost planning, setting timetables, value engineering, conducting feasibility studies, and valuation of works and work packages.
Quantity surveyors may also perform some of the roles that are often associated with estate agents. These include building and measure surveys, handling planning applications, insurance assessment and claims assistance, defect investigation, conducting pre-acquisition surveys, and negotiating dilapidations.
Apart from ensuring that a project remains within budget, quantity surveyors can perform multiple roles, including quality control.
Why aren't some property owners and construction firms hiring these professionals? Some think that hiring a building surveyor will only add to the overall project cost. It may sound counterintuitive, but hiring a quantity surveyor before the project starts can actually help you save more money over the long run.
Ideally, you should appoint an independent quantity surveyor at around the same time that you hire an architect for your home extension. This will ensure that you can actually afford the project cost before the submission of building plans.
It is critical to underscore the importance of hiring a surveyor independent from the construction firm and the architect. An independent surveyor will act as your representative and can prove to be an invaluable ally in situations where conflicts arise between the builder and the property owner. Your quantity surveyor can ensure that you are not over-charged and provide you with comfort and advice during the mediation process.
Is hiring a quantity surveyor worth the money? When you are working with a set budget, it may seem counterintuitive to hire another professional for your project. However, with the immense value that a quantity surveyor brings to the project, you are making a sound investment.

Vera Institute of Justice | Testing Community Supervision for the INS
Testing Community Supervision for the INS An Evaluation of the Appearance Assistance Program
Testing Community Supervision for the INS: Final Report
Testing Community Supervision for the INS: Appendices
In 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service asked Vera to establish a supervised release project for people in removal proceedings in New York City. The INS goal was the explore supervision and evaluate its effect on people's rates of appearance in court and compliance with court ruling compared to other alternatives to detention already used by the agency, such as bond, parole, and release on recognizance. The Appearance Assistance Program (AAP), a three year test of community supervision for people in immigration removal proceedings, began operating in February 1997, and closed in March 2000. The AAP demonstrated that the INS does not have to detain all noncitizens in removal proceedings to ensure high rates of appearance at immigration court hearings. Ninety-one percent of participants in the intensive program attended all required hearings in comparison to 71% of noncitizens released on bond or parole. Among this report's other findings: supervision is more cost effective than detention and AAP supervision almost doubled the rate of compliance with final orders. Appendices to the Final Report are also included as a separate file.

1) Lee Lee's Valice at 368 Court Street (at President) had its grand opening this weekend. The boutique occupies the space vacate by the Bleach House, whose demise has been much noted. The new shop is billed as a "full service boutique" that specializes in clothing for women sizes 12-24. Seems like only yesterday the Bleach House signage came down.
2) Cafe Chili, a new Thai spot that seems more like N. 6th Street in Williamsburg than Court Street in terms of the vibe, opened a week ago in the space formerly occupied by Siam Garden. The new restaurant--which serves average, if nicely present Thai food--is actually under the same ownership as the former. It's light years away from its predecessor, though. If you're familiar with the former and take a peak at the latter, you'll know exactly what we mean. Meantime, the menu is about two-thirds Thai and, alarmingly, one-third American and Italian. We stuck to the Thai part, which is fairly standard for Brooklyn Thais.
3) Our friends at the Brooklyn Record report had noted both of these and also report the coming of the unfortunately named K & Y Fruit & Vegetables between Douglass and Degraw. The Record notes that "The unfortunate name brings to mind KY personal lubricant (not really something we want to be thinking about as we peruse the cucumbers), but this end of the neighborhood could seriously use a decent produce shop."
