to Trans Vancouver Island
A resource and information site for transgender and gender diverse people and their allies on Vancouver Island
Dear Visitors, I've been maintaining this site as a volunteer since 2012, when an applied local research project supported by Royal Roads University surfaced a community need for an island-specific resource directory. I'm excited to let you know that the site will migrate in April; it will continue to be maintained as part of the University of Victoria's Transgender Chair activities. Thanks to all of you who helped make this site useful by providing listings or recommending it to others.

SpiritFirstCounseling at Comox
At SpiritFirst Counselling, as the name implies, I see spirit first – not gender, age, ethnicity, occupation, income, physical appearance, education, orientation, ability, or any particular religion – although I understand these aspects influence our self-image. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor I have assisted families in their desire to support transgender relatives generally, and to transition into systems (ie – schools) specifically. As a lesbian feminist therapist I bring a strong respectful sensitivity to individuals, using an empowerment model in my approach.

Q: Is $Y_t = e_t + 0.5(-1)^te_{t-1}$ a stationrary process? Given that $e_t$ is a white noise process and $Y_t = e_t + 0.5(-1)^te_{t-1}$, is $\{Y_t\}$ a stationary process?
I can show that
\begin{align*}
    \mu_Y(t) &= E[Y_e]\\
    &=E[e_t + 0.5(-1)^te_{t-1}]\\
    &=E[e_t] + 0.5E[(-1)^te_{t-1}]\\
    &= 0
\end{align*}
and
\begin{align*}
    \gamma_{Y,t,s} &= Cov(Y_t,Y_s)\\
    &=E[Y_tY_S] - E[Y_t]E[Y_s]\\
    &=E[(e_t + 0.5(-1)^te_{t-1}) (e_s + 0.5(-1)^se_{s-1})]\\
    &=E[e_t]E[e_s]+ 0.5(-1)^sE[e_t]E[e_{s-1}] + 0.5(-1)^tE[e_{t-1}]E[e_s] + 0.25(-1)^{t+s}E[e_{t-1}]E[e_{s-1}]\\
    &=0
\end{align*}
I am not sure if this step is correct:
$$0.5E[(-1)^te_{t-1}] = 0.5(-1)^tE[e_{t-1}]$$
I think it is correct because the randomness comes from $e_{t-1}$.
But if it indeed is, then $\{Y_t\}$  is weakly stationary. But how can I determine whether $\{Y_t\}$ is stationary, i.e the joint distribution of $Y_{t_1},\ldots,Y_{t_n}$ is the same of the joint distribution of $Y_{t_1-k},\ldots,Y_{t_n-k}$?
Thanks all in advance.

Move with alacrity to stem wave of layoffs
Broadly, the country is staring at an unemployment crisis. Yet, there is no sense of urgency to tackle it. Besides policy statements and political rhetoric, the government has not put its mind to wealth creation to generate jobs and boost incomes.
Too much preoccupation with politics undermines economic activities that guarantee secure livelihoods.
Unemployment is a consequence of multiple factors, starting with an enabling environment for doing business, policy formulations, security, infrastructure and tax regime.
The latest wave of retrenchments painfully demonstrates rising levels of joblessness arising from a depressed economy. Paradoxically, government statistics indicate the economy grew at 6.3 per cent last year. But there is not much to show for it. There is serious dissonance here. What appears on paper is at variance with the practical reality on the ground.
In the past one month, at least six companies have declared job redundancies, including the East African Portland Cement Company, Telkom Kenya, Stanbic Bank and East African Breweries. Precisely, companies are unable to operate profitably because the economic environment is unfavourable, compelling them to cut costs through staff lay-offs and other austerity measures.
Broadly, the country is staring at an unemployment crisis. Yet, there is no sense of urgency to tackle it. Besides policy statements and political rhetoric, the government has not put its mind to wealth creation to generate jobs and boost incomes. Too much preoccupation with politics undermines economic activities that guarantee secure livelihoods.
Unemployment is a consequence of multiple factors, starting with an enabling environment for doing business, policy formulations, security, infrastructure and tax regime. Although Kenya has been praised for creating an improved environment for doing business in recent years by the World Bank, the reality is that entrepreneurs are struggling. The cost of doing business remains rather high due to corruption, heavy taxation, political interference and poor enforcement of laws.
A few years ago, the government introduced specific programmes targeting job creation for the youth and women but they have nearly come a cropper. For example, the Kazi Kwa Vijana initiative, launched under the Mwai Kibaki administration, collapsed due to corruption. Moreover, funds set up for women and youth to enter into business have not benefitted the intended beneficiaries as they are marred with corruption, pilferage and wastefulness.
But it is not the business of the government to create jobs. Ideally, what it should do is to provide a conducive atmosphere where entrepreneurs and private establishments can operate profitably and create direct and indirect jobs. It should provide policies and physical infrastructure that promote growth. Other than managing strategic agencies such as Kenya Revenue Authority, the government should divest from corporations because it always does a poor job of it. So many State corporations have grounded or are struggling to remain afloat due to corruption and mismanagement.

NJ Orthodox: APP project aims to improve Orthodox, non-Orthodox relations in Lakewood, beyond The Unity project will explore the root causes of the issues dividing the Orthodox and non-Orthodox communities in Lakewood and beyond Check out this story on app.com: https://www.app.com/story/opinion/columnists/2019/06/05/lakewood-nj-orthodox-unity-project/1248444001/
Randy Bergmann, Asbury Park Press Published 5:00 a.m. ET June 5, 2019 | Updated 11:25 a.m. ET June 5, 2019
Back in the winter, I arranged and publicized "listening sessions" for readers in some of our towns, including Toms River and Jackson. I wanted to learn more about what was on people's minds and solicit suggestions for ways we could be more relevant and responsive to the needs of the community.
I anticipated complaints about property taxes, poorly maintained roads, underfunded schools and inadequate coverage of local and state government and the environment. There was some of that. But mostly what I heard were complaints from, and about, the Orthodox Jewish community.
Our coverage, I was told, was slanted against the Orthodox. It was too focused on the negative and led to an inaccurate portrayal of the Orthodox, feeding into the negative stereotypes. I also heard complaints from some non-Orthodox: The Orthodox received preferential treatment from politicians. They were insular and only interested in themselves. They had taken over Lakewood, and now they were intent on taking over neighboring towns.
I wasn't surprised to hear some of those complaints. What did surprise me was the intensity, and the way the topic dominated the conversations.
Lakewood mediators came to town: Here's what they found

Engagement is key to understanding Lakewood's Jewish Orthodox community
How the Unity Project evolved
The seed for the Unity Project — a collaboration between the Asbury Park Press and concerned citizens, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, that we will officially launch next week — was planted for me at the session in the Toms River Library when two older women began spouting anti-Orthodox stereotypes common on social media. About 15 minutes later, a young Orthodox woman arrived, and I asked her to introduce herself. She talked about her background, her college education, the business she was running and how she juggled her duties as a mother and an entrepreneur. She went on to say she was interested in finding ways to better connect Orthodox and non-Orthodox women. From there, an exchange followed between she and a young non-Orthodox woman on possible ways to make that happen. Both came up with interesting ideas. And both women, Tova Herskovitz and Alanna Jamieson, now serve on the Unity Project steering committee.

After the meeting we exchanged emails and decided to keep the conversation going. We extended invitations to others to solicit more ideas. Eventually, we created a steering committee that ultimately led to the Unity Project.
Among other things, the project will explore the root causes of the issues dividing the Orthodox and non-Orthodox communities, seek to improve understanding of the Orthodox religion and, perhaps most importantly, facilitate face-to-face contact between the Orthodox and non-Orthodox, which we regard as the best path to improved relations. The project will begin next week with a panel discussion, guest columns and videos centered around the theme: "What's the source of the friction between the Orthodox and non-Orthodox."
Lakewood mayor to join first panel
Our first videotaped panel discussion will include Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles; Steve Pirutinsky, a Lakewood psychologist and professor of social work; Jorge A. Rod, publisher of Latinos Unidos and Jewish Journal, and chairman of the board of Ocean Health Initiatives; and Zahava Perlstein, an associate with MA Acquisitions LLC in Lakewood.
We also will be providing interested residents with contact information for organizations already in place that share our goals, and encourage people to join in their efforts and ours. It was heartening to see the response to our recent promotional video urging people to get involved. We aren't naive about the barriers that need to be overcome. Nonetheless, we are optimistic that improved relations between the Orthodox and non-Orthodox — one person at a time, one neighborhood at a time — is well within reach given the dozens of good people we have met who are dedicated to making a positive difference.
The Orthodox Jewish Community in Lakewood held its annual burning of all leavened breads before the start of the celebration of Passover recently. The fire department assisted with the fires to make sure it was done safely. Thousands brought all leavened products for the fires in keeping with the religious commandment that they must be burned. (Photo: Peter Ackerman)
Here are just a couple of responses to our video that help bolster my optimism:
"I am writing to you guys because I would be so enthused and honored to be able to join this AMAZING project. I find myself always trying to educate individuals in my life and around me about the Orthodox Jewish Community because I have started to learn about them; ever since I started to work at these amazing companies. I have met such wonderful individuals from the community and I love learning about their religion and culture."
"There is much diversity among us, whether physical, cultural or religious, and this is reflected by differences in appearance, mode of dress, language, customs and the like. Despite our diversity, however, we all share the same needs and the same hopes: to live in peace in a desirable and safe home and town. Diversity is part of the excitement of being alive, and even those who are different from us can become our friends."
There is no shortage of good will in the Orthodox or non-Orthodox communities or people looking for an opportunity to increase understanding and engagement. Join with those of us at the Unity Project and like-minded organizations that are trying to make things better.

Atelier Anima: Van Beethoven
The Seventh Symphony was published in 1816 in Vienna by "Steiner und Comp.". There were several versions including the original symphonic version and an arrangement "in Harmonie für 9 Stimmen". There is no evidence supporting the "Harmonie" version having been either written entirely by Beethoven or partially by a student. Many orchestral works were arranged for "Harmonie" (wind ensemble) in Mozart and Beethoven's time. Princes and counts such as Lobkowitz, Esterhazy and Razumovsky often had their own ensembles and they had "composers" who arranged many works for "Harmonie", such as Josef Triebensee, Johann Went and Wenzel Sedlak. These Harmonies usually consisted of 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns and contrabassoon. The works were usually transposed so that all the notes in the symphonic version would fit the ranges of the instruments (the Seventh Symphony, for example, was transposed from A Major to G Major). The arrangement was also somewhat shorter, from the knowledge that the winds, who normally have time to catch their breath when playing in a full orchestra, would be playing the entire time. The adaptations are particularly interesting, and they do sound partly like "new compositions". Mozart wrote to his father in 1782 about an opera arrangement: "You won't believe how hard it is to set a piece for Harmonie – to make it sound idiomatic for wind instruments, without losing any of the original effect.

Die Kelso Old Parish Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland in der schottischen Kleinstadt Kelso in der Council Area Scottish Borders. 1971 wurde das Bauwerk in die schottischen Denkmallisten in der höchsten Denkmalkategorie A aufgenommen.

Beschreibung
Die Kelso Old Parish Church steht an der Abbey Road im Zentrum von Kelso unweit der Kelso Abbey. Das zwischen 1771 und 1773 erbaute Gebäude ersetzte ein Vorgängerbauwerk am Standort. 1823 wurde die Kelso Old Parish Church überarbeitet und 1833 ein Geläut hinzugefügt. Auch James Gillespie Graham reichte einen Entwurf zur Überarbeitung ein, der jedoch nicht umgesetzt wurde.

Das Gebäude besitzt einen oktogonalen Grundriss. Sein Mauerwerk besteht aus grob behauenem Bruchstein, der zu einem Schichtenmauerwerk verbaut wurde. Gebäudeöffnungen sind mit Naturstein eingefasst. Zwei Portale an den Ost- und Westseiten sind mit Gesimsen verziert. Zwischenzeitlich wurden sie mit Mauerwerk verschlossen. Das Gebäude schließt mit einem schiefergedeckten Zeltdach mit oktogonaler Laterne. Der hölzerne Dachreiter mit offenem Geläut über dem Nordportal im Italianate-Stil wurde 1833 hinzugefügt.

All You Need to Know About Blind Pimples
By Alyce Evans
As a general principle, no one is a fan of things that "lurk beneath the surface". When it comes to blind pimples, these painful and unpleasant bumps can be an unwanted confidence killer and sometimes, leave a lasting scar. However, with the right skincare regime, you can not only banish these blemishes but also reduce their chance of forming in the first place. To aid you in the quest to achieve clear skin, we've enlisted the help of SkinCeuticals professional, Dr Elena Voskresenkaya, to advise you on everything you need to know about blind pimples.
1 What is a Blind Pimple?
2 What Causes Blind Pimples?
3 How Long do Blind Pimples Last?
4 How to Get Rid of Blind Pimples
5 Best Products for Blind Pimples
5.1 Drunk Elephant Beste No Jelly Cleanser
5.2 SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Mask
5.3 Paula&#;s Choice Clear Strength Anti-Redness Exfoliating Solution
5.4 SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defence Serum
5.5 OBAGI ClenziDerm MD Pore Therapy Salicylic % Acne Treatment
What is a Blind Pimple?
Unlike other types of acne, blind pimples form beneath the surface of our skin. Consequently, while they may not be as noticeable as other forms of pimples which feature a protruding 'head', blind pimples can be incredibly sensitive and will not appreciate any prodding or poking. These nasty pimples, often caused by a cyst or a nodule, will, therefore, feel like a small, painful lump beneath the skin.
What Causes Blind Pimples?
According to Dr Voskresenkaya, the typical acne culprits are also the cause of blind pimples. Our skin naturally produces an oily substance known as sebum. However, when this is produced to excess, or when it comes into contact with bacteria and dirt trapped inside pores, blind pimples may form as a result. Consequently, Dr Voskresenskaya advises that thick, oily, very congested skin with large pores that have not been properly cleansed is more likely to develop blind pimples. If you're a fan of sweating it out in the gym or like to indulge in some deep fried food every now and again, don't despair. Committing to a regular skincare routine can help to balance out oil levels and cleanse the pores, thus preventing these hidden breakouts.
How Long do Blind Pimples Last?
Unfortunately for anyone who develops a blind pimple, if these nasty lumps remain buried beneath the skin's surface, it can take months for them to disappear. However, as Dr Voskresenkaya explains, it is the condition of the individual's skin which often determines this. Therefore, if a blind pimple gets inflamed, it may make its way to the surface of the skin and resolve faster. When it comes to your skin, however, there is no reason to have to leave these things to chance. Establishing a proper treatment plan, therefore, is key to speeding up the natural healing process.
How to Get Rid of Blind Pimples
When it comes to blind pimples, prevention is the best method of attack. Incorporating a high-quality exfoliating cleanser into your skincare routine can work wonders by preventing any build up of excess dirt and oil. This will diminish the chance of dirt or bacteria becoming trapped within your pores and developing into a blind pimple. The second step in the preventative approach, it is so simple, you can do it while you sleep. Each night, Dr. Voskresenkaya recommends using products such as SkinCeuticals Blemish and SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 to further exfoliate and increase the cell turnover. This, nightly rejuvenation of the skin's cells, she deems "is one of the keys to success in preventing blind pimples."
If, however, despite routine cleansing and exfoliating, a nasty blind pimple forms, there are a range of treatment options to cut its time short. The first commandment when it comes to acne is simple. Thou shalt not pick, pop or poke. In other words, do not squeeze your blind pimple. While it may be tempting, this will cause further inflammation making the pimple more noticeable on the surface. Additionally, this could lead to a further spread of bacteria or to scarring.
To treat a blind pimple, warm compresses may aid in opening the pores and bringing the pimple to a head. This aids the skin to rapidly and effectively expel the bacteria. Another option is to apply a topical antibiotic, to target the bacteria that is the source of the inflammation. Finally, if home treatments fail and the pimple persists, Dr. Voskresenkaya recommends seeking professional treatment options. These may include remedies such as a salicylic acid peel treatment or a prescription of antibiotics.

The longtime informal adviser claims that Trump just wanted to see the former presidential candidate squirm.
Donald Trump's long-time but informal adviser Roger Stone says the Secretary of State job was dangled in front of Mitt Romney in order to "torture" him for previously opposing the president-elect.
During a Sunday appearance on InfoWars with Alex Jones, a conspiratorial media outlet that has become a mouthpiece of the next president, Stone called Romney a "choker" and said that Trump was simply toying with him.
Stone's involvement with the current transition efforts is unclear as he is not formally advising Trump. But the two men have kept a close relationship for years and Stone claims that he was at Trump Tower last week. The transition team did not respond to a request for confirmation about his presence from The Daily Beast.
In recent days, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson has emerged as the new frontrunner for the position as the nation's top diplomat, outpacing Romney, with whom Trump had dinner and said he looked right out of "central casting" for the gig. Trump's final decision remains a mystery and while transition sources indicate that Tillerson is the favorite at this stage, the country will only truly know when the president-elect issues the words from his own mouth or Twitter account.
Stone, a longtime Trump acolyte with a book on the way about the presidential race, used Trump's own language to bash Romney which is either a sign that he knows something beyond what has been reported about the jostling for the position or he's simply airing out grievances in the same manner that former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway did. She blasted Romney in a series of television interviews with the blessing of Trump himself.
And funnily enough, Trump was able to convince Romney to say this exact same thing.
In a sequence of unabashed vindictiveness, Stone took particular pleasure in the fact that Trump won Ohio easily, a state which Romney lost to President Obama in 2012.
Stone did have some things to say about the potential options for press secretary, a role yet to be filled which Conway has reportedly declined. He wants to ensure that Sean Spicer, spokesman for the Republican National Committee who has been working closely with the transition team, does not get the job.
"I would prefer Monica Crowley, Laura Ingram [sic], Gordon Hensley or Jason Miller," he added. For what it's worth, these names have been floated in the press as potential options.
It all depends on who has Trump's ear last.

The health food industry is a billion dollar industry and is growing every minute. It's no surprise that new products are taking over the shelves at grocery stores around the world. Over the past few years, many sports drink and nutrition bar brands have come under fire as they were compared to sodas and candy bars. Turn those pretty packages over and one could see that the amount of sugar, fat and carbs, as well as suspicious ingredients didn't differ all that much.
Your stomach's growling and you're planning to hit the gym in an hour. Do you reach for a Snickers or a fitness bar? A Coke or a Gatorade? The answer may seem obvious, but check the nutrition facts on these products' labels, and you might be surprised how similar they are. Plus, nutrition aside, grabbing the sporty food or drink may lead you to overindulge—and skip part of your workout, suggests a new study in the Journal of Marketing Research.
In the study, researchers gave people nutritionally identical trail mix samples before a stationary bike workout. The catch: Some of the trail mix samples came in packages marked "fitness" and featured pictures of running shoes. Among those trying to watch their weight, people given the "fit" trail mix ate more and exercised less than those who received food samples without sport-oriented labels.
Marking a food as "fit" or "for athletes" wipes out much of the conflict going on in your brain when it comes to weight control and eating enjoyment, says study co-author Jörg Königstorfer, Ph.D., chair of sport and health management at Germany's Munich Technical University…Königstorfer's research is among the first to show sport-labelled foods may actually lower your motivation to workout.
Because your mind lumps fitness-related things together, eating a sport-branded food may somehow trick your brain into thinking you've hit part of your weight-loss goal just by eating it, his study suggests.
"Fitness branding may put restrained eaters in double jeopardy," Königstorfer adds. "It makes them eat more and exercise less." Something to think about the next time you're at the grocery store—or gearing up for a workout.

Porch Explosion Tied To Possible Hate Crime Against Transgender People, Philly Police Say

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia police are investigating a possible hate crime following an explosion at a home where transgender people live last weekend.
It happened on the 5000 block of Woodland Avenue around 9:45 p.m. on June 23.
Surveillance video captured two men walking by a home. Police say one of the men set an object on fire, which then exploded once the suspect threw it onto the porch.
Police say the explosion, which is being called a deliberate act, damaged the porch but the suspects continued to walk west on Woodland Avenue.

Authorities tell CBS3 that more than a dozen transgender people live inside the home. At the time of the blast, seven people were inside, but they were not injured.
Philadelphia Police Department's Lt. John Walker says this specific property was targeted before. Last summer someone shot paintballs at people sitting on the porch—making it clear to authorities that this home is a target.
"We've been working with the human relations commission. We did move a city camera right to that location to try to catch some of these behaviors," said Walker.
One suspect is described as a black male, 20 years of age, thin build, facial hair, and wearing a hooded sweatshirt. The other suspect is a black male, 20 years of age, heavy build, beard, wearing a long-sleeve shirt over a tank top-type shirt and long pants.
Police ask anyone with information leading to the arrest of two suspects to contact authorities at 215-686-3183/3184.
There have been other explosions that are still under investigation in the city. Police do not believe those incidents are connected to this attack.
