Work & Background
As a web developer, I work with designers to ensure their work is implemented with precision and aim for a result that is sensitive of the visual design, the practical constraints, and the shifting nature of the web.
My responsibilities often include designing the information architecture, establishing the tech stack, managing hosting environments, deploying, testing, debugging, writing documentation, training, and of course writing code.
The languages I use most often are JavaScript and PHP, and I have dabbled with Python, Ruby, and SQL. The content management systems (CMSs) I usually reach for are Kirby and Craft CMS, though I also work with WordPress when appropriate such as on this site. When time allows, I enjoy experimenting with newer CMS options and frameworks such as Netlify CMS, Gatsby, and Hugo. On the front-end, I'm a big fan of squeezing the absolute most out of CSS and HTML, using semantic elements whenever possible and making use of CSS Grid Layout and Flexbox when appropriate for the browser support requirements. JavaScript is great, but it's not a panacea for front-end difficulties and should be used with care!
Moving forward, I would like to spend more time working with larger teams to make more meaningful contributions to open source projects and the open web more generally. I would also like to focus more on making the web accessible, particularly with institutions in the cultural sector that often inadvertently neglect this critical aspect of the web.
If you are interested in working or learning with me, please let me know!
I keep track of the things that I learn by writing things down. Much of my work-related writing can be found in the input and output categories. These are a few of my most recent relevant posts:
feministopensource.group
Selecting open, free, or commons licenses for content and code
Switching from Google Analytics to Matomo (f.k.a. Piwik) on WordPress
Date-based colour
"I don't think we know how to separate when we're feeling pity and when we're feeling inspiration."
This is some of the web work I have been involved in over the past few years. Some of these projects were completed under the name SB-PH, a design and development collaboration I share with Sam Baldwin. I have provided links where appropriate, i.e. the project is online and remains relevant to my current work.
gemmacope.land, with Gemma Copeland (2019)
Gemma Copeland is an interdependent digital designer and researcher who started her own practice in late 2019 after several stints at award-winning studios across Europe. As part of this shift in her career, we created a website that functions as an archive, a notebook, and a sandbox. She wanted it to be lightweight and easy for an enthusiastic beginner to tinker with the markup and CSS, so I set her up with a static Eleventy site, minimal JavaScript, and some thorough documentation. She was already a prodigious Arena user, so we decided to use the Arena API to pull in selected channels that give further context for the way she thinks about her work. Read more on her website or check out the repository on GitHub.

Barozzi Veiga website, with John Morgan studio (2019)
Barozzi Veiga is an award-winning architecture practice founded in Barcelona. John Morgan studio had taken on the redesign of their website and subsequently brought SB-PH on board for the web development to ensure that their designs were implemented with nuance and precision. I configured Kirby CMS, handled the JavaScript, and worked with Sam on the CSS. The website launch coincided with news of their involvement in the upcoming transformation of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Manalo & White website, with Fraser Muggeridge studio (2018)
In 2018, SB-PH was approached by Fraser Muggeridge studio to develop a new website they were designing for architecture studio Manalo & White. I configured Craft CMS and implemented the JavaScript and logic, particularly a randomised feed of project images which would occasionally feature media associated with a particular keyword – "white", "concrete", "plants", etc. – on the homepage "above the fold".
manaloandwhite.co.uk
Modern Design Review website rebuild (2018)
Modern Design Review is a contemporary design magazine. The MDR website was originally designed by Graphic Thought Facility. In 2018, I rebuilt the existing website to reduce dependencies and make use of modern CSS properties, and I moved their site to a new hosting platform. Since then, I have worked with MDR on further updates as needed to incorporate documentation of their many projects and of their gallery space in London.

Lützowufer website for David Kohn Architects, with Mark El-khatib studio (2018)
The Lützowufer website designed by Mark El-khatib formed part of David Kohn Architects' winning proposal for a Berlin apartment building. I worked with Sam Baldwin to develop the website, using Google VR View for the Web to display static and video VR renders of the Lützowufer interior, street level, and rooftop.
Dannatt Johnson Architects website (2018)
The DJA website was designed and developed by SB-PH. I configured Craft CMS to support various user levels as well as a page builder to support the block-based layouts.

Modern Art website, with John Morgan studio (2018)
Modern Art is a gallery representing artists internationally with two locations in London. In 2018, John Morgan studio approached SB-PH to develop the website with a focus on nuanced typography and high-quality media. I worked closely with the Modern Art team to configure Craft CMS appropriately for their specific archive requirements and implemented the logic and JavaScript.
modernart.net
Marysia Lewandowska's website, with Luke Gould (2018)
Marysia Lewandowska is a London-based artist that exhibited in the Venice Biennale Pavilion of Applied Arts in 2019. Her ethos is "Share What You Know". In 2018, I developed a new theme for her existing WordPress site designed by her frequent collaborator Luke Gould.
Host website (2018)
Host is a flexible Leyton high street venue for work, retail, and events. They needed a simple, low-maintenance website to share their weekly schedule and information about the space. SB-PH designed and developed their site in late 2018, and I was responsible for configuring Netlify CMS with Jekyll. Read more about the process.
hostofleyton.com
Occasional Papers website (2017)
Occasional Papers is an independent publisher of affordable books devoted to the histories of architecture, art, design, film and literature. OP approached SB-PH to design and develop their new e-commerce website in 2016. I developed a WordPress theme with extensive WooCommerce support and wrote the logic to display books proportionately on the front-end.
occasionalpapers.org
Jock Kinneir Library website (2017)
Graphic designer Jock Kinneir is perhaps best known for his work with Margaret Calvert on Britain's motorway signage, an undertaking that would inform a large part of Britain's graphic identity. The Jock Kinneir Library, an organisation dedicated to sharing Kinneir's work and teaching, commissioned SB-PH to design and develop a website where they would share interviews, media, transcripts, and other resources of note. I worked with the Library and Sam Baldwin to devise a records system and page builder that is suitable for their breadth of content, configuring Craft CMS and the logic.
jockkinneirlibrary.org
Memory Machine website, with Luke Gould (2017)
Memory Machine is a web-based artwork by Tyler Coburn commissioned by the Asia Art Archive. I worked with designer Luke Gould to create a bilingual, Wikipedia-esque website driven by MediaWiki. The Asia Art Archive hosts this website on their server setup in China. Read more.

Gabrielle Lockwood-Estrin's website (2017)
Artist Gabrielle Lockwood-Estrin focuses on printmaking and over recent years has been producing increasingly layered, and consistently colourful, pieces. SB-PH designed and developed a simple website to showcase her work and activity. I configured Kirby CMS and implemented the logic in PHP.
gabriellelockwoodestrin.com
Sessions & Co. website (2016)
Sessions & Co. collaborates with UK-based artists and designers to create heirloom-worthy goods for children and the home. SB-PH designed and developed their e-commerce website in 2016. I was responsible for the Shopify build and advised on webshop management.
Pump House Gallery website, with Mark El-khatib (2016)
In 2016, graphic designer Mark El-khatib approached SB-PH to develop a new website for Pump House Gallery, a contemporary art space in Battersea Park. I implemented the seasonal colour palette that formed part of the branding, configured Craft CMS according to the organisation's needs and user privileges, and implemented the logic.
Flood House website, with Mark El-khatib (2016)
Flood House was a floating prototype structure by Matthew Butcher that was installed on the Thames Estuary in spring 2016 alongside a programme of events curated by Jes Fernie and the Focal Point Gallery. The Flood House website was designed by Mark El-khatib and developed by SB-PH. I configured Kirby CMS, implemented the logic, and integrated weather and tidal API data according to location of the structure.
flood.house
Third Angel website, with Dust (2016)
Third Angel is a theater company in the north of England. The Third Angel website was designed by Dust and developed by SB-PH. I configured Craft CMS to support their event and venue requirements and implemented the logic.
Penguin Classics, Pelican, and The Happy Reader e-newsletters (2016)
In 2016, the Random House Group approached SB-PH to design and develop a new e-newsletter template to be used with their enterprise-level software. Their marketing efforts were being restricted by a stale, non-responsive template that was difficult to use. We created a modular system with a UI that allowed them to easily change media, colours, reorder content, and much more. I worked with the software's templating syntax to develop a template with appropriate Outlook 2010+ compatibility as well as support for more modern technology such as web fonts and responsive layouts. We subsequently worked with them to incorporate new modules, and the following year they commissioned us to extend this template for use with the Pelican imprint and The Happy Reader, a magazine co-produced by Penguin Classics and Fantastic Man.

Corridor8 website (2016)
Corridor8 is a platform for contemporary art and writing in the north of England. In 2016, Corridor8 moved away from print-focused publishing towards web-first output. They commissioned SB-PH to design and develop their new website, requiring support for 10+ regional editors and light art direction for major features. I developed their WordPress theme and ran SQL queries grooming thousands of entries within the legacy database to appropriately configure the content for the new fields and style guide.
corridor8.co.uk
Objectif Exhibitions website & e-newsletter, with Sara De Bondt studio (2015)
Objectif Exhibitions was a Belgian nonprofit institution devoted to contemporary art and supported by the Flemish community. The website was designed by Sara De Bondt studio and developed by SB-PH. I was responsible for the translation-ready WordPress theme, implemented Dutch UI translations, and archived their three legacy websites on subdomains. Shortly after we deployed the new website, I developed a modular, reusable e-newsletter template for Objectif based on the existing website design.
Casper Mueller Kneer Architects website (2013)
The Casper Mueller Kneer Architects website is one of SB-PH's earliest web projects. Since 2013, we have worked with CMK on periodic maintenance and gradual updates.
cmk-architects.com
I grew up in California and completed my undergrad degree at Colby College, a liberal arts school in central Maine. At Colby, I majored in fine art and was introduced to computer programming, amongst other subjects. In 2010, I moved from San Francisco to London to pursue a postgrad in fine art at Central Saint Martins. At the end of this stint some of my work was shortlisted for an award and exhibited in the new-at-the-time Lethaby Gallery. I was fortunate to sell a few pieces. After this experience I was in search of something a little more practical, and for about a year and a half I worked with the world's first peer-to-peer car sharing startup.
Since the p2p startup folded in 2013, I have been working primarily as a web developer. Between February 2017 and April 2019 I managed Occasional Papers, an independent publisher of excellent books on the histories of architecture, art, design, film and literature. Until early 2019, my web development work was mainly with designer Sam Baldwin under our initials SB-PH. Since then, I have been pursuing more independent opportunities with designers and institutions alongside my ongoing collaborations with Sam.
My work and hobbies overlap somewhat. When I'm not staring at a screen, I like to cook, draw, read, repair, and sing in groups. These are some of my most recent posts on less work-related topics:

Note:My Anthropic Trilogy web-book, evolving since 1997, is a chronicle of my passing all considered opinion
The Integrationalists and the Non-Dualists by Peter Holleran
- a thesis presented as an imaginary conversation between contrasting points of view at Wisdom's Goldenrod Center for Philosophic Studies on the relationship between realization and transformation.
Keywords: Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Sahaja Samadhi, Ramana Maharshi, Paul Brunton, Anthony Damiani, Peter Holleran, J. Krishnamurti, Michael Hall, John Wheeler, Advaita, non-dual realization, nonduality, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga, Zen, Pure Land Buddhism, Rumi, realization, grace, overself, Upanishad, Mahabharata, Brahman Sutra, Kuan Yin
A Maya-Gaia review - Holleran's website presents numerous essays with unique insight into the arcane traditions. Here a philosophical naturalist takes us on an exploration of the nondual ecosystem for an examination of the diverse species - from the proto-Vedic to the neo-advaita mutations - that are involved in the evolution of an enlightened post-modern world view. The following are excerpts that I found especially useful for integrating the Nirvikalpa Samadhi experience particularly in regards to support for the theme I put forth in The Godhead Experience and elsewhere - that awakening is not an award for right practice of jnana or bhakti or any other yoga but is an unqualified gift of God's grace that appears to arise in synchronicity with a state of absolute desirelessness (and subsequent free-will to surrender). At the end I agree with the admonition that hidden within the traditions are the gems by which one is helped to assemble (with bold discrimination) the treasure of enlightenment from the raw experience of spontaneous Nirvikalpa.
Anthony=Anthony Damiani, PB=Paul Brunton and other sources are referenced in a comprehensive bibliography.
As Anthony said in Standing In Your Own Way: "Some seek non-duality, others duality. They do not know the Truth, which is the same at all times and everywhere, which is devoid of both duality and non-duality." - Dattatreya, The Avadhuta Gita
"Don't kid yourself. Don't come to me from the point of view that the ego doesn't exist, because it's been around as long as the Overself [Soul] has been projecting itself, manifesting itself through some kind of life. The residue of all that living becomes a tendency which you're going to find is perhaps not a permanent entity, but good enough to drive you up the wall for the next indefinite number of incarnations....As soon as you say the ego is "empty" then you're in for it. I don't think you understand why I regard any talk like that as utterly futile and even esoterically stupid. I don't care who says it. Anyone who thinks he's going to outwit his ego is in for a real rough time. That's why I don't like to call it empty. I like to think of it as a real fire-breathing dragon.....That's why I sometimes tease you by saying that anyone who tells me the ego is illusory is out of his mind. He hasn't even encountered it yet." (9) You feel the lightening flash is of the Nous, whereas PB used the term in describing the first glimpse of the Soul, the stable realization of which he calls sahaja. V.S. Iyer, in Lights on Advaita - selected writings (on the WG website) likewise describes the lightning flash as a glimpse of sahaja:
"Sleep is .. used as an illustration of non-duality. Even in the waking state if mind were sharp we can get the lightning-flashes of sleep; it is then called sahaja samadhi; only we do not notice them. Philosophy will not end if you confine it to the waking state: it will always produce endless ideas amd hence endless schools of thought. But only in the non-duality of sleep do all ideas die, when this is brought into the waking state as sahaja samadhi." (15.32) Sufi Nasr also concurs with the Sants that for such a process of realization to fulfill itself requires baraka, or grace, mediated through a shaik or Murshid i Kamil, the completed one, the peerless Master or Realized Soul. Rumi in his Mathnavi stated:
"Choose a Pir, for without a Pir this journey is exceedingly full of woe and affright and danger. Without an escort you are bewildered (even) on a road you have travelled many times (before). Do not then travel alone on a Way that you have not seen at all, do not turn your head away from the Guide...In the spiritual journey, whoever travels without a guide, needs two hundred years for a two-day journey." (23) I: I still can't help feeling that something's missing here. Might not that be a version of what the Zen masters call "the stink of enlightenment"? or what the Tibetan Buddhists mean when they say "don't confuse realization with liberation?" Garma C.C. Chang points out the distinction made in both Zen and Ch'an Buddhism between the awakening to prajna-truth (or the immediate awakening to transcendental wisdom or emptiness) and Cheng-teng-cheuh (sabyaksambodhi), which is the final, perfect, complete enlightenment of Buddhahood: The key words there for me are "total transformation is the only goal", and "conditioned beliefs continue relentlessly requiring persistent work after the deepest awakenings." This is what I feel is a balanced presentation, quite different than some of the more radical non-dualists. (Remember what PB once said about the teaching of J. Krishnamurti? - "absolutely correct, but totally useless for most of his students.") Let's look at Plotinus again:
"All things live by the Soul in its entirety. It is all present everywhere like the Spirit (Nous) which begat it, both in its unity and in its universality. The heaven, vast and various as it is, is one by the power of the Soul, and by it is this universe of ours Divine. The Sun too is Divine, being the abode of Soul, and so are the stars: and we ourselves, if we are worth anything, are so on account of the Soul." . . . " Now our Soul is of one form with the World Soul, and if we remove from it all that is adventitious, and consider it in its state of purity, we will see how precious the essence of the Soul is; far more precious than anything bodily.....Since then the Soul is so precious and Divine a thing; by It we can attain to union with the Spirit, and with It raise ourselves to the Supreme." (Ennead v. I. 3.)
HALF WAY DOWN (SEE SCROLL INDICATOR)
"Whoever invokes the Overself's Grace ought to be informed that he is also invoking a long period of self-improving toil and self-purifying affliction necessary to fit him to receive that Grace."
Farid al-Din 'Attar said:
"When God recognized my sincerity, the first grace that He accorded me was that he removed the chaff of the self from before me." (36)
And once again, from the peerless Rumi:
"First he pampered me with a hundred favors. Then he melted me with the fires of sorrows. After he sealed me with the seal of Love. I became Him. Then, he threw my self out of me."
PB felt likewise:
"By freeing himself largely of attachments- and especially the subtlest yet largest of all, attachment to the ego--his heart is emptied. Into the void thus created, Grace can flow. Mystics who complain of the soul's dark night are led to know that it is a process whereby this space in the heart is being increased, a crushing of self into dust, to make room for Grace. If they are thus led to nothingness, let them remember that the Overself is no-thing." (40)
deCaussade several hundred years ago stated specifically that the way to union is not through illumination:
"I know how much suffering this operation entails. The poor soul feels as if it would become utterly annihilated, but for all that, it is only nearer the true life. In fact, the more we realize our nothingness the nearer we are to truth...You must not then be surprised at the violent resistance it offers, especially when the soul experiences mortal anguish in receiving the death-blow to this self-love. The suffering one feels then is like that of a person in agony, and it is only through this painful agony and by the spiritual death which follows it that one can arrive at the fulness of divine life and an intimate union with God....For the time that these crucifying operations continue, the understanding, the memory, and the will are in a fearful void, in nothingness. Love this immense void since God deigns to fill it [with what? - insight: reality, truth, being, Sat-Chit-Ananda!]; love this nothingness since the infinitude of God is there." (Book Seven, Letter IX)
TWO THIRDS OF WAY DOWN - ON GRACE:
Changing the subject a little, I tend to be of the opinion that one will sooner or later need grace, that grace is more than a concept, and has a hand to play in this affair. Most teachers, even non-dualists, admit this. Michael Hall said so, although he confessed that he never thought he would end up using the word. Ramana said that if the longing was there, realization would be forced on you whether you wanted it or not. And what did PB say grace was? - a "beneficent emanation from the Overself". Moreover, he added:
"It is not within the power of man to finish either the purificatory work or its illumination sequel: his Overself, by its action within his psyche, must bring that about. This activating power is grace." (42)
ND: That Overself is a troubling concept.
I: Yes, I agree with you. Even Anthony threw in the towel in one class discussion and basically said "the Overself is God".
ND: He just said that because people were having a hard time understanding him that night, and he wanted to give them a feeling of devotion.
I: Perhaps, but he did say that this side of manifestation all three of the Primary Principles could be considered as God, the Absolute, the Void, or Mind. Bottom line, the emanating grace is real, there is a power greater than man, to which we must pray. Of course, grace itself has also been spoken of in paradoxical ways. Ramana said that grace is always there, being the same as the Self, while Kirpal Singh said grace is always there, but added that sometimes it gushes forth.
ND: I am uncomfortable with the phrase "gushes forth". It doesn't sound very philosophical.
I: Yes, I know, but PB seemed to believe in something like that. Personally, I was never too keen on the idea that "grace is always there" either! I want tangible help in feeling it. Ramana seemed to nicely reconcile the two positions in the following quote:
"Here it is impossible for you to be without effort. When you go deeper, it is impossible for you to make any effort...The very fact that you are possessed of the quest of the Self is a manifestation of the divine grace. It is effulgent in the Heart, the inner being, the real Self. It draws you from within. You have to attempt to get in from without. Your attempt is vichara [inquiry], the deep inner movement is grace. That is why I say there is no real vichara without grace, nor is there grace active for him who is without vichara. Both are necessary." (43)
ND: The non-dualists say there is no need to attempt to go within, and that even the heart-on-the-right business Ramana spoke about is unnecessary. Even he occasionally said it wasn't necessary.
I: Yes, that may be true for some, perhaps many, but I don't think we can get around the fact that we need grace - even if there is no "we". John Wheeler says that it is just an unnecessary and illusory concept, but I have a hard time buying that. I think some of the radical non-dualists can get a bit dogmatic in their delivery. They are quick to fall back on the strict advaita insistence on atma-jnana as the direct and only means of liberation, but neglect to mention that in his commentaries on the Brahma Sutras Sankara himself also mentions grace:
"With respect to Shankara's attitude toward yoga, there are two passages in the Brahma Sutra Bhashya that stand out as anomalies. In his comments on Brahma Sutra 3.2.24, Shankara says that in perfect concentration (pranidhana), certain yogins see (pashyanti) the Self, free from all plurality (prapancha) and they do so by means of absorption (dhyana) and devotion (bhakti). He then goes on to refer to those passages from the Katha Upanishad, Mundaka Upanishad and Mahabharata that speak of "seeing" the self while in meditation or through the purification of the mind. His commentary here parallels comments made at Brahma Sutra 3.2.5. There, Shankara says that occasionally, the supreme Lord (parameshvara) dispels the ignorance of those who meditate devotedly (abhidhyayate) on Him and through his grace (prasada) these yogins are given extraordinary powers of "sight [i.e, "seeing the Self"]." (The Neo-Vedanta of Swami Vivekananda: Part One, from http://kelamuni.blogspot.com)
It is also interesting that one of the keystones of non-dualism, The Heart Sutra ("form is emptiness, emptiness is form"), is attributed, unlike other Mahayana scriptures, not to the Buddha, but to Avalokitesvara, or, in its feminine manifestation, Kuan Yin. In Pure Land Buddhism, Kuan Yin is described as the "Bark of Salvation". Along with Amitabha Buddha and the bodhisattva Mahastamaprata, She temporarily liberates beings out of the Wheel of Samsara into the Pure Land, where they will have the chance to accrue the necessary merit so as to be a Buddha in one lifetime. One can believe this or not, but maybe grace and devotion are not illusory concepts after all.
NEAR BOTTOM:
Ramana considered surrender to the Lord equal to self inquiry as a spiritual path. Schwarz, essentially an advaitist, notably remarked:
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease." If you don't invoke the Self by making the right efforts how will it know that you are dissatisfied? From the Self's point of view you are just fine in your Self ignorance. Why should "grace" happen unless you make a fuss?"
PB and Anthony looked at it this way:
"Without the fullness of the understanding that comes from penetrating into the World-Idea - in other words, the full development of the faculty of understanding which comes to a soul through the World-Idea - in the trance state one would be utterly unprepared to understand the mysterious Void...

text:
Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (né le  à Göppingen et mort le  à Murrhardt) est un théosophe allemand d'origine piétiste et d'obédience luthérienne. Son œuvre constitue l'une des premières tentatives de compréhension de l'histoire de l'univers, qu'elle aborde dans son ensemble. Il y interprète la dynamique du monde à la lumière de la Révélation.

C'est à Oetinger que l'on doit l'introduction de la cabale lourianique au sein de la cabale chrétienne, trouvant chez Isaac Louria les moyens de concilier tradition juive et tradition chrétienne. S'opposant à la fois à l'idéalisme et au matérialisme, il considère que tout esprit est appelé à s'incarner dans un corps naturel, à s'inscrire dans le monde physique.

Oetinger est aujourd'hui considéré comme un maillon important entre l'esprit des Lumières et la théosophie. Son influence sur les communautés piétistes allemandes est considérable.

Q: how to create idle/uptime metric for dataproc cluster with stackdriver I would like to create an idle or uptime metric for all dataproc clusters I am running, and from what I've seen in stackdriver, I was not able to do so.
My scenario is that I have timed dataproc jobs that run daily and after the jobs are done I delete the cluster.
I would like to create an alert via email if there are idle dataproc clusters that do nothing for an hour or a dataproc cluster uptime is more then 24 (or even 20) hours.
Thanks.

A: There's a 3 items in your question I'd like to address separately:

*

*About alerting on idle metric: Dataproc does not expose such a metric and I will file a feature request for us to add one. In the mean time, you can approximate idleness by detecting when this metric: dataproc.googleapis.com/cluster/yarn/containers goes down to 0 for an hour or so.

*Regarding cluster being idle for an hour or alive for 24 hours. This can be automated through Dataproc via Scheduled Deletion feature: gcloud beta dataproc clusters create ... --max-age=24h --max-idle=1h

*About daily jobs. I think here you could sidestep questions #1 and #2 entirely and leverage Workflow Templates to manage cluster creation, teardown, and job execution. If your automation is through Api clients or you need to pass different parameters on each invocation InstantiateInline method will do the trick

In South Africa for South Africans written by Mariëlle Renssen and Hirsh Aronowitz, 23 driving routes of varying distances crisscross the entire country, many of them taking in national or provincial roads. There is plenty to explore across our nine provinces, and the big skies, boundless vistas and hours of sunshine have turned us into an outdoor-focused, activity-loving nation. With each province radically different in terms of biomes, landscape and climate, there is great incentive to slow down your journey and have fun with the family along the way. After all, a long journey is never solely about the destination.
Ours is a big country – South Africans, therefore, are used to driving vast distances simply to get from A to B. Our aim here, therefore, is to make travelling those distances as interesting as possible.

AJC poll: Georgia voters back absentee ID but oppose new restrictions
Credit: JOHN SPINK / AJC
By Mark Niesse, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Most Georgians support proposals requiring photo ID or other documentation to cast an absentee ballot, a broad consensus across the political spectrum for stronger election safeguards, according to a poll conducted for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
But the poll also showed that most voters don't believe there was widespread fraud in the presidential election, and they have little appetite for new restrictions. Both ballot drop boxes and no-excuse absentee voting enjoy substantial support.
ExploreAbsentee voting laws: Proposed Georigia legislation would end no-excuse absentee voting, automatic registration
Voting laws could change in Georgia following the contentious presidential election, when Donald Trump made unsubstantiated claims that the race had been stolen despite recounts and audits that verified the results. The majority-Republican General Assembly plans to consider voting bills after Democrats won Georgia's presidential and U.S. Senate elections for the first time in years.
Nearly three-quarters of voters said they want additional verification of voters who cast absentee ballots, according to the AJC poll. About 91% of conservatives and 55% of liberals backed proposals requiring a photo ID or another type of identifying information for absentee voting.
The AJC poll involved 858 registered Georgia voters and was conducted Jan. 17-28 by the University of Georgia's School of Public and International Affairs. The margin of error is 4.2 percentage points.

Michael Holland, a truck mechanic outside Chickamauga, said he doesn't think elections in Georgia are secure, and he's worried about the possibility of fraud. He supports a photo ID requirement for absentee voting.
"I've got to take off work most of the time just to vote and stand in line, so I think it's important enough for absentee voters to take some steps, too," Holland said.
Marcia Hendricks, who works in sales and marketing in Stone Mountain, said the use of some kind of identification with absentee ballots would protect voters. Election officials currently check absentee ballots by comparing voter signatures with their handwriting on file, and by making sure their registration information matches.
But Hendricks opposes proposals for voters to submit a copy of their photo ID with their absentee ballot. She prefers a compromise, such as asking voters to submit a driver's license or state ID number.
"How many people have copiers in this day and age?" Hendricks said. "You'd have to go somewhere with a copier. That would create an obstacle to voting, but we're also trying to keep it secure and safe and fair. I don't know where the happy medium is."
Photo ID for absentee voting has gained support from Georgia political leaders, including Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and House Speaker David Ralston, all Republicans. Democrats oppose photo ID, saying it would create an obstacle to voting after election officials found little fraud.
The political leanings of voters determined whether they thought there was widespread fraud in Georgia's presidential election, which Democrat Joe Biden won by less than 12,000 votes.
ExploreAJC poll: Republicans in dicey political territory in Georgia
Just 4% of Democrats thought there was substantial fraud, compared with 76% of Republicans, according to the poll. Overall, 38% of voters said they believed there was significant fraud in the election.
Other potential changes to absentee voting appear to have limited support.
About 55% of voters objected to restricting absentee voting to people over 65 years old or who have a valid reason for not being able to vote in person. Georgia law has allowed anyone to cast an absentee ballot since 2005.
"We need to provide ways for people to vote safely and securely from a distance. It's not that hard. People have done this for years," said Margaret Sapp of Oconee County, who works in education administration. "It sounds to me like they're simply trying to restrict the number of ballots they receive."
Ballot drop boxes, an innovation allowed in Georgia for the first time last year as 1.3 million cast absentee ballots, gained popularity but are endangered by upcoming legislation that could seek to eliminate them.
Nearly 59% of Georgians in the poll opposed eliminating drop boxes. Among conservatives, who are more wary of drop boxes than liberals, just 38% said they wanted to ban drop boxes.
Peter Quinton of Lawrenceville said drop boxes are unnecessary.
"If you request an absentee ballot because you didn't want to vote in person, why should there be something to accommodate you driving to a drop box?" Quinton said.
Georgia legislators plan to introduce voting bills in the coming days.
Besides a proposal to require voters to submit a copy of their photo ID twice, lawmakers are considering limits on no-excuse absentee voting, drop boxes and unsolicited ballot application mailings.

The Georgia Legislature is considering changing the ways Georgians may vote. Do you support or oppose requiring voters to include a copy of their photo ID or other documentation in order to cast an absentee ballot by mail?
Do you support or oppose limiting absentee voting by mail to people over 65 or others who have a valid reason for not being able to vote in-person?
Do you support or oppose eliminating absentee by mail ballot drop boxes?
Do you support or oppose prohibiting the mass mailing of unsolicited absentee ballot applications?
Are you more concerned about limits on voting options or the potential for ineligible voters to cast ballots?
Limiting options – 34%
Ineligible voters casting ballots – 55%
Don't know; refused to answer – 11%
Do you think it is more important to make voting easy for eligible voters or to have additional safeguards against potential voting fraud?
Making voting easy and accessible – 41%
Adding safeguards – 55%
On some questions, totals may not add up to 100% because of rounding.

Van Morrison to Release Lyric Book 'Lit Up Inside' This Fall
The singer-songwriter will also read from the book and discuss his works in upcoming London appearance
Ed Caraeff/Getty Images
Van Morrison has personally selected 200 pages' worth of what he feels are his most important and enduring turns of phrase for inclusion in the upcoming book, Lit Up Inside, due out October 28th. "The lyrics in this book span 50 years of writing and as such are representative of my creative journey," he said in a statement on his website.
Additionally, he is marking the book's release with an appearance at London's Lyric Theatre, where he will be reading, discussing and performing his works, on November 17th. Throughout the evening, a handful of British and Irish writers and poets, including Edna O'Brien, Michael Longley, Ian Rankin and Dr. Eamonn Hughes, among other, will join him onstage. Hughes, an assistant director of Queen's University in Belfast, wrote Lit Up Inside's introduction; poet David Meltzer, who has not been announced to appear at the Lyric Theatre engagement, wrote the foreword.
The book's U.K. publisher, which is putting out its edition on October 2nd, estimates that the book contains about one-third of the lyrics Morrison has written over the course of his career. It is putting out three different editions of the book, including signed editions and a deluxe one that comes with a reproduction of handwritten lyrics that the singer signed and numbered.
Morrison put out his last album, Born to Sing: No Plan B, in 2012, but has spent time going over his past works in recent years. In 2013, he put out a deluxe, four-disc edition of his 1970 release, Moondance, which included three discs of unreleased music from the sessions for the album. One such track was a different take of "Into the Mystic," which Rolling Stone premiered.

Q&A Interviews
Paul McCartney – Egypt Station
Liam Mcmillen
Tags: Paul McCartney
The music industry is a troubled place when it comes to ageing rock stars. In a world where bands have multiple Last Ever Tours and the likes of The Who and The Rolling Stones still continue to rock stadiums around the world despite being deep into their 70s, the way Paul McCartney has been going about his musical career in the last few years has been a genuine surprise. While yes, he still does mammoth tours, his musical output has seen him grow old gracefully with a more stripped back style and his own trademark melodic stamp.
Egypt Station, McCartney's 18th solo album, continues the more mature output, which sees the former Beatle in a confident and heartfelt place. McCartney has never been happier and his music, which resembles the early energy of the first four Beatles records, supremely represents that. In fact, everything from the musical style to his recent gigs at Abbey Road and the legendary Cavern Club, sees McCartney looking back into the past and delving deeper into his early rock and roll roots, as well as touches of his Wings output too.
After a short, atmospheric intro the album instantly gets into its groove with AA-side singles 'I Don't Know and 'Come On To Me'. While the former opens with a luscious piano ballad, soon focussing on McCartney's recognisably husky vocals, the latter is more of a foot stomper, and arguably the catchiest song of the lot. Even with just these two songs, and later with 'Happy With You', easily the finest song on the record, McCartney is showing range he hasn't done for years.
The lead singles are, of course, out and out rock and roll singles, but 'Happy With You' shows McCartney's softer side. Like an updated version of the sincere melancholy of 'When I'm 64', it's a heartfelt number directed towards his wife Nancy Shevell. "I walked around angry / I used to feel bad… I used to drink too much / Forgot to come home / I lied to my doctor" he announces with brute honesty, and intense love brimming from every utterance.
There's certainly enough for the casual Beatles fan in Egypt Station, too. While 'People Want Peace's opening evokes Sgt Pepper with its introductory tale of: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing before you with something important to say," in the vein of Billy Shears, the record finishes on a medley much like Abbey Road's phenomenal finale with an ending that shows McCartney at his most open. "I've been naked for so long / So long, so long, yeah," he asserts, with the sort of openness we haven't seen from the man for a very long time. Honest, candid, and oh so sincere, this is a glimpse into the psyche of a musical hero.
Egypt Station is a retro bop that works wholesomely because it not only sounds unique, but it embraces where McCartney is now, unlike many albums made by his contemporaries. Many of McCartney's critics will often point to his mediocre output over the past 20 years, but this is not only a return to form, it's a celebration from past to present of one of the greatest songwriters of our times.

When I compared broker web-based trading platforms a while ago, I mentioned that most brokers I am using only have web-based trading platforms, except Scottrade, which also offers a standalone, PC-based platform called ScottradeELITE (available for customers with account balance of $25,000 or more). What I like about the separate program is that it's much, much more powerful than the web platform. Especially in terms of doing research, ScottradeELITE is more convenient.
Now, another discount broker that I use joined Scottrade to offer a standalone trading program: The Xtend from OptionsXpress, the free trading tool.
The first look at Xtend is pretty positive. The interface looks cool and I like how different sections of information are arranged and presented.
At the top of the screen, there are benchmarks that give me a quick idea of how the broad market is doing, including the Dow, the Nasdaq, and the S&P 500.
The main area is where you can customize to display what you want to monitor. The default setting shows my stock watch list, which is the same as the one I set up in my web account after logging into Xtend using the same login info. When I double click a symbol in the Watch List, it opens new window of details of stock.
Right-click on any symbol in the Watch List brings up options to trade the stock, as well as going to OptionsXpress website for real-time streaming quote, which I find is quit weird. Isn't Xtend the perfect place for streaming quotes?
The central section has all the trade related information, for both stocks and options. Here, I have Trade Ticket, which is the place to enter an order, whether it's a stock, options or future, all those trades offered by OptionsXpress. There's also an Options Chain section for options trading which I am not very familiar. Finally, all the stocks I have in the Watch List also show in the Trade View. Here, trading can be made with only a few mouse clicks, which is quite convenient.
On the right, I have account related information, such as Account Balance and Positions.
At the bottom of the screen, there are a lot of tools from OptionsXpress that can be added to the main window. For example, I added Charts into the left column to display the price change and volume of a stock for the past two days. Another feature of Xtend that I noticed is that when the program is running, it displays pop-up alerts when stocks' gain or decline reach certain levels. The alerts I saw were set as default. I think they can be customized to only show what I am interested, but I haven't found out how to do it.
From the first look, I feel that Xtend looks better than ScottradeELITE, though I haven't full explored all its functions yet, nor did I make any trade. There is no fee for OptionsXpress user to use Xtend. If you are interested in opening an account with OptionsXpress and trying Xtend out, you can take advantage of the OptionsXpress $100 bonus offer if you fund the account with at least $500 and make 3 trades in 12 months.
Xtend is a well designed, robust desktop app. Adding and resizing windows or using the pre-built layouts is perfect. The stock and options trading windows are a bit underwhelming though. Not terrible but the trade ticket layout and interaction with watch lists and option chains could be better.

Work in brief
Dana Loomis, Deputy Editor
CHILDHOOD LEUKAEMIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE TO HYDROCARBONS
Despite evidence linking acute leukaemia in adults to occupational and environmental exposures, including benzene, few risk factors have been identified for acute leukaemia in children. In this study from France (p. 773) Steffen and colleagues used data from interviews with parents to examine associations of possible environmental sources of hydrocarbons with acute childhood leukaemia among 280 cases and 285 controls. They report that children living near petrol stations or automobile repair shops had a substantially higher risk of acute leukaemia (odds ratio 4.0, 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 10.3), which increased with the length of residence near these facilities. There was no association with living near other types of business that might use hydrocarbons, living near high traffic roads, or with mothers' occupations. Although the authors suggest that confirmation is needed, these findings are of interest because auto refuelling is the principal source of public exposure to benzene.
GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN POWER OUTPUT FROM MOBILE TELEPHONES
Epidemiological studies exploring the possible health hazards of mobile telephones have used several indicators of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields, but these have not included the phones' quantitative power output, which can vary widely depending on the user's location and characteristics of the network. Lönn and colleagues (p. 769) studied records of all mobile calls during one week in four geographical areas in Sweden and observed that power output was markedly higher in a rural area, where telephone base stations were sparse, than in urban or suburban areas. The variation in output by time and day of week was less pronounced. The authors suggest that assessment of exposure to RF fields from mobile phones could be improved by incorporating information on where the phones are used.
MORTALITY AMONG PIPE TRADES WORKERS
Although most new uses of asbestos in industrialised countries were curtailed in the 1970s, workers continue to be exposed to asbestos already in place. Finkelstein and Verma (p. 736) suggest that the results of their study of mortality among 25 285 members of a Canadian pipe trades union (including plumbers, pipefitters, and others) followed from 1960 to 1999 provide evidence of a persistent hazard from asbestos. They report that lung cancer mortality was significantly higher than expected for all trades during the entire period (SMR 1.26), and increased risk was observed among workers who joined the union in the 1970s or later.
PHYSICAL WORK DEMANDS, GENDER, AND DECLINING OCCUPATIONAL INJURY RATES
Occupational injury rates are on the decline in most industrialised countries, but the reasons for this trend are not fully understood. Smith and Mustard (p. 750) used workers' compensation data from Ontario, Canada to examine relationships among women's participation in the labour force, physical work demands, and changes in injury rates from 1990 to 2000. They report that injury rates decreased for both women and men and for manual, non-manual, and mixed occupations, with the largest decreases—almost 50%—for men in manual jobs. In other analyses, the authors estimate the number of injuries expected among women and men if each gender had had the same job holding patterns as the other. According to these projections, the number of injuries among women would be nearly twice as large as actually observed if they did the same work as men. From these data, the authors suggest that male-female differences in injury rates are due, at least in part, to division of labour along gender lines.
TIME FOR NANOTOXICOLOGY?
Although industrial and commercial use of nanoparticles is not entirely new, the current "nanotechnology revolution" is driving the production and distribution of these ultrafine particles at an unprecedented pace. In an editorial on p. 727, Donaldson and colleagues argue that the time is ripe for the development of a new discipline of nanotoxicology to characterise the harmful effects of these new technologies. Traditional hazard assessment approaches may not apply because of the biological mobility of nanoparticles, their large numbers, and their high ratio of surface area to mass. The authors write that a new discipline oriented towards these concerns would contribute to the safe and sustainable growth of nanotechnology.

President Akufo-Addo inaugurates reconstituted Bono Regional House of Chiefs
September 11, 2020 myashhfmonline_d2njci
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Thursday inaugurated a reconstituted 19-member Bono Regional House of Chiefs to start his two-day working visit to the Region.
Before the reconstitution, the Brong-Ahafo Regional House of Chiefs had a membership of 50 and the inauguration was necessitated following a successful Referendum in December, 2018, which led to the creation of the Bono East and Ahafo regions in 2019, in fulfilment of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Election 2016 campaign promise.
The President, who began his five-day working visit to the three regions on Monday, ended the Bono East Regional tour on Wednesday, September 9, where he again inaugurated the reconstituted Bono East Regional House of Chiefs.
He is accompanied by Ministers of State, Members of Parliament and some officials of the NPP.
President Akufo-Addo said government was taking bold steps to incorporate and strengthen the role of chiefs in the governance processes of the country, adding that GhC3.5 million had been released to facilitate the completion of the National House of Chiefs Headquarters Building.
He said chieftaincy disputes and issues of land administration continued to be a national problem and, therefore, implored the House to support the Government to adjudicate the many outstanding disputes creating tension in the country.
President Akufo-Addo said government intended to build 16 office complexes and bungalows in each of the newly re-constituted houses of chiefs and called on the chiefs to support government to achieve its vision for the nation.
He admitted that though traditional authorities were not allowed to engage in active politics, as the embodiment of the people, they played enormous roles in national governance.
He, therefore, appealed to them to convince their subjects to vote and retain his government in power in Election 2020 to enable him to push the development of the nation to the next level.
President Akufo-Addo congratulated members of the House for their role in ensuring peace within their jurisdictions and called for their cooperation with government in its determination to bring local governance to the people and expand the boundaries of democracy.
He commended them for educating and encouraging their people on the need to adhere to the COVID-19 safety directives as well as all government restrictions against the spread of the disease.
Mr Kofi Dzamesi, the Minister of Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, advised the chiefs to abide by the Chieftaincy Act 2008, Act 759, and discharge their duties to the best of their abilities to accelerate national development.
Mrs Rita Ama Adusah, a Circuit Court Judge, took the House through the three oaths of membership, allegiance and secrecy.

Internet Takeover by the U.N. Started Oct 1st 2016, some concern of global censorship
October 1st is D-Day for the start of the internet takeover, a scheme the Obama administration and the United Nations have been advancing for years. Why are GOP leaders AWOL as President Obama and the United Nations move to transfer critically important jurisdiction over the Internet to an unaccountable UN-aligned monopoly?
…the administration admits it has no plan for how Icann retains its antitrust exemption…. Antitrust rules don't apply to governments or organizations operating under government control. … Without the U.S. contract, Icann would seek to be overseen by another governmental group so as to keep its antitrust exemption. Authoritarian regimes have already proposed Icann become part of the U.N. to make it easier for them to censor the internet globally."
Buy a Domain while it is still cheap : SiteMedia.biz for $11.99 per year.
Washington (AFP) – The US government on Saturday ended its formal oversight role over the internet, handing over management of the online address system to a global non-profit entity.
The US Commerce Department announced that its contract had expired with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which manages the internet's so-called "root zone."
That leaves ICANN as a self-regulating organization that will be operated by the internet's "stakeholders" — engineers, academics, businesses, non-government and government groups.
The move is part of a decades-old plan by the US to "privatize" the internet, and backers have said it would help maintain its integrity around the world.
US and ICANN officials have said the contract had given Washington a symbolic role as overseer or the internet's "root zone" where new online domains and addresses are created.
But critics, including some US lawmakers, argued that this was a "giveaway" by Washington that could allow authoritarian regimes to seize control.
A last-ditch effort by critics to block the plan — a lawsuit filed by four US states — failed when a Texas federal judge refused to issue an injunction to stop the transition.
Lawrence Strickling, who heads the Commerce Department unit which has managed these functions, issued a brief statement early Saturday confirming the transition of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
"As of October 1, 2016, the IANA functions contract has expired," he said.

F4/80 Rat anti-Mouse, Clone: BM8, eBioscience™
Rat Monoclonal Antibody
Description: The BM8 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse F4/80 antigen, an approximately 160 kDa surface receptor. It belongs to the EGF-TM7 family of proteins. As such it contains seven EGF-like domains on its extracellular N-terminus, seven transmembrane spanning sequences, and an intracellular C-terminal domain showing homology to other TM7 superfamily members. The F4/80 antigen is expressed by a majority of mature macrophages and is one of the best markers for this population of cells. However, other cell types, such as peritoneal eosinophils, Langerhans cells, and some other dendritic cell subtypes, have been reported to express this antigen as well. Expression of F4/80 commences during early myeloid development in vivo and can be upregulated on BM cells stimulated in vitro with M-CSF. Some populations of macrophages, especially in the lymphoid microenvironment, may be devoid of F4/80. Applications Reported: The BM8 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections, and immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded tissue sections. Immunoblotting must be performed under non-reducing conditions. For immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections, proteinase treatment is needed. It has been reported that reduction with 2-mercaptoenthanol destroys the BM8 antigen. Applications Tested: The BM8 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse spleen or bone marrow cells.
This can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. The BM8 antibody has been tested by immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded mouse tissue using pronase treatment and can be used at less than or equal to 10 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered. F4/80 antigen is a 160 kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is a member of the EGF TM7 family of proteins and shares 68% overall amino acid identity with human EGF module containing mucin like hormone receptor 1 (EMR1). Expression of F4/80 is heterogeneous and is reported to vary during macrophage maturation and activation. The F4/80 antigen is expressed on a wide range of mature tissue macrophages including Kupffer cells, Langerhans, microglia, macrophages located in the gut lamina propria, peritoneal cavity, lung, thymus, bone marrow stroma and macrophages in the red pulp of the spleen. F4/80 expression has also been reported on a subpopulation of dendritic cells but is absent from macrophages located in T cell areas of the spleen and lymph node. The ligands and biological functions of the F4/80 antigen have not yet been determined but recent studies suggest a role for F4/80 in the generation of efferent CD8+ve regulatory T cells.

Dublin, the Turning Point of My Life
HOME CAMPUS GLOBAL REPORT
Kim Kyunghyun
ALL PHOTOS FROM KKY
Anyone who has studied at university will have, at least once, dreamed of becoming an exchange student because it is a special experience only given to university students. I also dreamed of becoming an exchange student, so I spent most of my time at university preparing to participate in an exchange and studying TOEFL. Thanks to my effort, I got accepted to my first-choice university and studied there as an exchange student. My semester there was extremely meaningful and completely worth the struggle I endure to go there.
Emerald color of Ireland
Ireland is an island country near the UK. The country was ruled by the UK for many years, so it reminds me of the period when Korea was under the Japanese Colonial era. Dublin, the city where I stayed, is the capital of and biggest city in Ireland, but compared to other cities in Europe, it is very small. I could even walk across the city from one end to the other. Picturing Dublin as an exotic European city will only lead to disappointment upon arrival. However, you can meet a lot of kind people in Dublin who will welcome you kindly with words like "sweetie" or "honey".
'Galway', term you may have heard in the lyrics of Ed Sheeran's "Galway Girl", is a local city in Ireland. Galway is famous for its glorious landscape such as the Cliffs of Moher, and being the city where Harry Potter is set. Besides Galway, Ireland has lots of local cities like Belfast and Cork that have beautiful green landscapes. I was tired of all the electromagnetic waves in Seoul, so the emerald color of Ireland was therapeutic and relaxing. Above all things, Ireland, the country of Guinness, is heavenly for anyone who enjoys drinking beer. My home was 10 minutes from a huge Guinness brewery, which was also a tourist attraction for visitors to Dublin. The first Guinness I drank in Dublin was unforgettable. Ireland has as many pubs as the number of restaurants. You can easily grab a tasty cool beer anywhere in Dublin.
Griffith, my second university
I studied at Griffith University, and the student body was as inviting as the student body at Sookmyung. Although Sookmyung has a small campus, the campus at Griffith is even smaller than that of Sookmyung. However, both professors and students are passionate and generous, so I enjoyed my university life there with them very much.
The biggest surprise at Griffith was that professors and students are on very friendly terms, similar to friends. Being familiar only with the relatively strict school culture in Korea, honestly, my first impression of Griffith was stun. On the first day of my business administration class, I observed students greet their professors by their name. Ireland has no honorifics in its English language so that may be natural, but I still was shocked. They freely exchanged opinions during discussions in class and students openly refuted the professor's opinions during the class. Through the discussion, I was able to listen to amazingly fresh and creative ideas.
Media class that centered on pop culture was most memorable for me. During the class, one professor introduced himself as a fan of Lady Gaga, and students in the class asked him to sing one of her songs. He took up the challenge and sung a medley of Lady Gaga's songs. Students applauded as if they were attending a concert. He was a male professor with gray hair, so the fact that he sang was unimaginable for me. The shock I felt at that time is still so memorable.
Age, seniority, and school ID number are of no importance when making friends in Ireland. In fact, some of my Irish friends were three or four years younger than myself, and others, I never found out their age. Thanks to the precious relationships I made in Ireland, I enjoyed the semester pleasurably. On Friday nights, I had fun at an escape café, which was conducted in English, joined an annual school party, and held a Korean food party that included both soju with beer. The day I left Dublin, I cried so hard because I felt like I was losing my friends. This experience as an exchange student in Ireland was a precious opportunity for me to meet many lifelong global friends.
Travel anywhere in Europe
No exchange student will remain solely in the university city. In my case, my grades from the Griffith university were only P/F grades, so it was not possible for me to get credit for them. As a result, I spent more time playing than studying, and I did a lot of traveling.
Ireland is the hub or Europe's low-cost flagship airline, Ryan Air, and it is even more affordable than Korea's low-cost airlines. For example, a flight from Dublin to London costs only 9 euros, which is about 13,000 won, for a one-way ticket. Moreover, with an ESN card, which is issued to all students attending European schools, it is possible to receive a 20% discount on airfares and bring onboard a 20kg carrier for free. Students with a European student ID are all eligible for free admission to all three major art gallaries in Pars, namely The Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, and Musée de l'Orangerie. With all these benefits available to me, I relished my time as a student attending an European university. I went on a trip whenever I had a break.
Want to be exchange student once again?
This question is always posted on the bulletin board of Every Time app to exchange students. It's where interested students go when they are thinking of being an exchange student. Honestly, the decision to go on an exchange was not easy. I did it during my seventh semester when most other students are busily preparing for a job. Nevertheless, every time that question is asked to me, I always answer immediately, "Yes, I would do it all over again and apply wholeheartedly for an exchange program. Of course, living in a foreign land far from Korea wasn't always exciting. The process of dealing with certain matters that came up was stressful, but it also made me become independent. That aspect alone made me mature and grow internally. Ireland is a country with people of various ethnicities and cultures, and that alone allowed me to broaden my outlook on the world and hear others' diverse thoughts. There are still plenty of nations in the world I'd like to visit, and I sometimes feel only living in Korea is somehow boring. I once dreamed of getting a job in Korea, but now I dream of a career that will take me out to the world.
