Irish stepping and hip-hopping for unity
Summary: Today's MLK holiday is about peace and unity. It got me thinking of an event I saw in Boston. In this video, you'll see some of Boston's most talented youth coming together to celebrate their unique dance styles. No racism. No disrespect. Just kids having fun and being proud of who they are. We adults have much to learn from our youth.

Rapper Common (and hip-hop) will lose in a battle with Drake

Oprah! Hate of the term "nigga" is NOT generational!
This is in response to a conversation Jay-Z & Oprah had about the word "nigga" (or "N-word") on her show.
While I am fans of both Jay-Z and Oprah, I am so sick of people saying the "N-word" is generational. I'm 33. I'm a rapper , motivational speaker, and diversity educator. Most of my black friends hate the n-word and none of my non-black friends use it. Furthermore, most of the teens I speak to across the country are still uncomfortable with it. To say it's generational is a cop out. As much as I really love Oprah, I've noticed that, even though she disagrees with the "n-word" in rap, all the rappers she has ever had on the show still use the term. Will Smith was there as an actor so I don't count that. It's easy to believe that my generation has embraced the term because no one wants to give us positive rappers a shot in the spotlight. We can't get record deals, and can't get on shows from Oprah to O'Reilly, etc. We're making music kids can listen to, but most of us are balancing making music versus working a 9-5, living with our parents even though we have our own families, and some have given up on being positive and have gone back to selling drugs to get by.
I believe the whole movement for clean music was a lie. Us clean, non-"n-word" using artists are alive and kicking but you'd never know it when you turn on the radio or TV. We have been the ones practicing what Oprah has preached and we have been staunch defenders of Oprah in her hip-hop wars. I feel like it was all in vein. Don't know if we've lost yet, but we're definitely losing. All we want is a shot, and I don't mean with a gun.

Oprah & Gayle King: hypocritical on hip-hop
I listened to a recent radio interview with Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey (listen here). In the interview, Oprah was speaking about how she feels like she made a new best friend in Jay-Z. They argued over who had a bigger crush on him as well. As usual, Oprah stated that she disagrees with some of his lyrics, but that obviously means that she can still talk with him. No disagreements here. The problem came when Gayle King stated emphatically that she "loves Jay-Z's lyrics." Oprah asked if she meant the beats or some of the songs and Gayle King clearly said she loves the lyrics. This is hypocrisy at its best and truly unfortunate for us positive rappers.
Oprah and Gayle have arguably done more to raise the self esteem of girls around the world than anyone. Whether it's Oprah's school for girls in South Africa or the countless projects they have going on across this country like "O Magazine", they have been consistent in their mission to give girls a positive view of themselves. So why does Gayle love Jay-Z's lyrics? I have a great deal of respect for Jay-Z as a businessman and humanitarian. As a rapper myself, I obviously respect the way he puts his words together. He's the best at that in my eyes. But how can I love lyrics like:
I came in your Betley back seat, skeeted (ejaculated) in your jeep
Left condoms on your baby seat
And since you infatuated with sayin' that gay shit
Guess you was kissin' my dick when you was kissin' that bitch
Is this the embodiment of Jay's work? Of course not. He's also dropped classic lines like:
See Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, See Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide, suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Like any artist or even any individual, Jay's work reflects a range of emotion. However for people like Gayle to say she loves his lyrics wholeheartedly is not only a complete endorsement of all of his music to young girls (and boys), but it is also a smack in the face of those of us who practiced what Oprah preached. Everyone from Oprah to Bill O'Reilly has preached that we should have cleaner music but they never endorse artists whose music is clean. Every rapper from Common to Diddy who Oprah has had on her show or in her magazine has used misogynistic lyrics at some point. Conversely, so many positive rappers I know have to work second jobs or are forced to move back in with their parents because of the economy. Oprah can singlehandedly change the direction of some of this by helping to celebrate these artists. Just as her book club has helped the careers of others, a positive music club could do the same thing.
As a positive rapper myself, I was saddened by Gayle's comments for two reasons. One reason is that it's rappers like me and others who have been actively out there supporting Oprah when many in the hip-hop community attacked her for asking for clean music. You can read one of my blogs on this written 3 years ago right here. Despite this fact, she still sees it fit to bring on people who have dismissed her or her message. That's her prerogative but when will we get our shot? When will those of us who actually do what she asked for get our say on her show? Many of us positive musicians are active parents, pursuing academic degrees, and are avoiding trouble with the law. We don't rap about sex, drugs, or violence. These are all the things she claims she wants to see but does not actively support.
Lastly, it is we positive rappers who are going into schools, community centers, and even prisons to combat the negative music that is shown to youth around the globe on a daily basis. We are doing the groundwork on this. Much of what we may try to accomplish gets shot down in a 3-minute video on BET or MTV. The messages we try to spread will now get quicker dismissal from our youth with Oprah giving these artists more validation. It's like in her earlier days when she decided to stop having racists on her show because she felt she was helping them grow their audience. She then focused more on people who were race healers and not race haters. Is it not the same with only having rappers on who have a history of misogyny? Why not support those who uplift women as opposed to condemn them? Who's next to appear on the show or in the magazine? Lil' Wayne? What about those of us who got it right the first time?
At the end of the day, I am glad that I listened to people like Oprah and became a positive artist. I like the fact that my music does not disgrace my sisters, my mother, my wife, or my daughters. I enjoy the fact that though some may not agree with my messages on social issues, they at least don't feel like they have to go home and detoxify their daughters of the negative words I used to describe them. Whether people like Oprah choose to acknowledge or even support guys like us who are not going to get record deals or mass exposure is now irrelevant to me. I can't wait for that. I've learned that this whole movement for clean music was a lie. I've learned that many in the media can make their careers talking about what they are against as opposed to what they're for. This is not entirely true for Oprah, but I just wish she would stop making our job harder.

An open letter to Amb. Andrew Young: why did you support rapper TI but not Obama?
So rapper TI (born Clifford Harris) has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for gun possession and other charges. At his sentencing Ambassador Andrew Young, you among many other prominent African American community members came out to voice your support for him. You praised TI's visit with you to a clinic for paraplegics as one reason as to why TI is a credit to the community. You then evoked the Civil Rights Movement and offered comparisons of white-on-black then to black-on-black violence now. According to CNN, you even stated that you regarded working with Harris not so much as a chance to help him but more as "an opportunity for him to help" you. This is profound on many levels.
First Ambassador Young, what is it exactly that TI taught you that no black male student at Morris Brown, Morehouse, Emory, Georgia State, or any school that has a black male student who got it right the first time teach you? Outside of us lowly students who are irrelevant unless we get into trouble then redeem ourselves as celebrities who find Jesus at just that right moment, were there not any other celebrities like NBA Hawks player Joe Johnson who are not convicted felons with whom you could have traveled? Though you may have learned from TI, many of us, especially the youth, are learning the wrong lesson from you and other members of your generation who choose to "identify with" these celebrities at opportune times. Are there any other rappers you will reach out to or must they catch a case first?
Let's all be clear. I am all about forgiveness and I am all about 2nd chances. However, I am focusing on the bigger picture Ambassador Young. Though TI may have spoken to (the term "mentor" requires a longer commitment than a TV season) many students about guns and violence, his lyrics since his first album in 2001 have done more to denigrate the black community as opposed to uplift it. It's great to talk to students now, but what about the thousands of boys and girls, men and women across this country who went to jail or died trying to copy what they heard in TI's songs? Of course TI is not solely responsible for the ills of our community, but do we have to make him a bigger celebrity because he broke the law?
The truth of the matter Ambassador Young is that TI performed his community service in order to reduce his sentence. He was still granted a reality show and released a multiplatinum selling CD entitled "Paper Trail." All of this while working to reduce his sentence to a prison that has yet to be determined because the court wants to make sure he's close to his family. So basically TI's celebrity status reduced his sentence, kept him in the television spotlight, will get him a prison at Club-Fed close to his family, helped get him a multiplatinum album, and will probably be allowed to release another album while incarcerated. Where exactly is the penalty for the crime Ambassador Young? What message are we sending to our youth exactly?
What baffles me most Mr. Ambassador is how you could support TI in this nonsense but not support President Obama during his presidential campaign. It was fine to support your friend Senator Clinton because you knew her and I didn't expect you to support Obama because he's black. What I did not understand is why you chose to measure his blackness to the amount of black women he slept with vs. Bill Clinton—ultimately declaring Bill the winner because he jokingly slept with more. I guess when it comes to views on black women, you and TI do have something in common. Even after Obama clinched the DNC nomination, you were still nowhere to be found but we can find you in court supporting TI?
Ambassador Young, you have an extremely distinguished career of service not only to the black community but to the globe. I truly appreciate what your generation has done to make my life better. You have also obviously been committed to young people over the years but your support of TI sends the wrong message. Though TI is indeed capable of redemption, you send the world the wrong message by expressing support for a convicted felon whose body of work represents everything you have been against for you entire career, particularly that whole non-violence thing. You should be using your time and influence with the youth to uplift those who don't have to be convicted of a crime before they dedicate themselves to service. I am interested to see your response if TI is released and goes back to his old ways. Until then, come back to us.

Oprah Winfrey and Hip-Hop
Oprah Winfrey has come under attack from some members of the hip-hop community for not supporting hip-hop in favor of her majority white, older female audience. Ludacris believed that when he was on Oprah as a cast member for the Oscar-winning film Crash, Oprah should have dealt with him as the actor and not the rapper. He also asserted that the show was edited to remove some of his comments in response to Oprah and Sandra Bullock's comments concerning pejorative misogynistic lyrics in hip-hop. 50 Cent stated that Oprah pretty much caters to older white women and so it is actually in his best interest to be at odds with Oprah.
The only issue that was more annoying to me than the comments of these two rappers was the response from Oprah Winfrey. More or less, Oprah stated that she listens to Jay-Z, 50, Kanye West and others and that she loves hip-hop. That would have been fine. But she went the extra mile to state that she has 50 Cent's In Da Club playing on her I-pod. This was entirely necessary.
As far as I see it, Oprah owes no explanation to the hip-hop community. She should not have gone out of her way to state that she actually listens to rappers with misogynistic lyrics. She would not have had artists like Kanye, Luda, and Jay-Z on her show if she did not support hip-hop in some way, shape, or form. How many heavy metal acts do you see on her show?
Rather, Oprah should have used this opportunity to give praise to rappers who do represent positivity. Why not use the platform she has constructed to express support for artists in hip-hop who are not misogynistic or vile with their lyrics? Even one of her favorite artists, Kanye West stated in his lyrics: "If I can go through all of this and still be breathin'/bitch bend over I'm here for a reason." Oprah, who just had her magnificent Legend's Ball honoring black women, does not have to express her support solely for hip-hop artists who put this type of work out.
Given that hip-hop is primarily purchased by the sons and daughters of Oprah's audience, Oprah could single-handedly change the direction of hip-hop if she said for example, "I'm also a fan of Will Smith, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Omékongo." Forgive me for the selfish plug, but honestly, I am one of thousands of MCs and poets who are intentionally choosing not to spew lyrics that condemn our women, and celebrate drugs and violence. A move like this could have the same effect on music that Oprah has had on literature. Instead of telling Luda that he is smart enough not use foul language in his work, why not support the artists who are smart enough to not degrade their people and actually do not degrade their people. How hard would that be?
At the end of the day, I will obviously stand with Oprah. No single person alive has worked harder to show images of positive black people. She is a woman of action. No one could have put together the Legend's Ball quite like she did. I look forward to see who will organize something similar for black male icons. Her humanitarian heart pumps life into communities globally and locally. I really cannot imagine a world without Oprah. In all reality, the hip-hop community needs to do more to honor her and not vise versa.

Well, we have finally reached base camp of Mt. Everest after 14 days on foot from the village of Jiri, and the IDX flag is flying proudly over my tent. The trek from Jiri (with a total of 100 porters, 150 yaks and 35 sherpas), although beautiful, it is one of the most arduous treks one will ever do, due to the amount of vertical ascent and descent one must endure through all the various mountain passes and deep valleys, of which there are many. I think I mentioned in my last update that we would climb more than 30,000ft and descend more than 22,000 ft just by Namche Bazar, only half way. From there, we picked up about another 12,000 ft and lost another 5-6000 before finally reaching base camp 2 days ago. As you can surely imagine, its nice to get a few rest days off our feet. We last saw the summit of Everest just past Namche before it faded behind the heights of closer peaks. It was both an awesome and frightening sight. Massive in size, still many miles away, and since the jet stream hasn't risen from the summit, the summit was getting blasted with what we estimated 200 mph winds. A scary thought to think that in about 4-6 weeks time, we will be attempting to summit there. The mountain is now out of sight from base camp, and probably better, so as not to psyche anyone out.
Base camp is quite a place. Both spectacularly beautiful and hellishly dangerous at the same time. The views of the surrounding peaks, particularly Pumori, are outstanding. We are, however, surrounded on nearly all sides by massive walls of rock and ice, which are constantly launching huge avalanches down their respective faces throughout the day and night.
The days are not so bad, because you can see where they are and where they are going, but night is a different story. You can hear them, and they are as loud as a 747 flying right overhead, but you can't see them, and often they sound like they are coming right through your tent door. Very unnerving to say the least...makes for many sleepless nights. If fact, one came down just when I began to write this transmission, and the snow ploom left a dusting over all of base camp.
The days here, believe it or not, are extremely hot, so much so that you can't even go inside your tent, but as soon as the sun goes behind the ridge of Pumori to the west at about 330pm, the temperatures plummet well below zero in a matter of minutes, driving one from shorts and a tee-shirt to a down suit or the comfort of ones sleeping bag. That combined with the initial acclimatization stages of trying to live at nearly 18000 ft are certainly a challenge for body,mind and spirit. When time permits, between various camp shores or organizing and preparing gear for higher on the mountain, ones attention is magnetically drawn to the massive Khumbu ice fall, which towers above base camp and is the initial part of our route to the higher reaches of the mountain. The Khumbu is certainly one of the more famous parts of the route and by far one of the most dangerous. It is the Khumbu and its 2,000 feet of steep cascading, tumbling ice seracs that strikes fear into the hearts of many climbers, with many of the blocks bigger than a 3 story house. Negotiating this section is basically a game of Russian roulette since you never know when one will tumble. We will be heading through this in the next few days in an effort to establish camp 1 at about 20,000ft. Before being done with this mountain, we will have to travel through this metaphorical snake pit about 6 times.
Tomorrow we will perform our Puja, which is a religious ceremony performed by Buddhist high priests or lamas which will not only ask permission and forgiveness for us climbing the mountain, but also blessing all the climbers and our gear. It involves alot of prayer, song dance, food and of course drink. It's quite a neat thing to be a part of and should be a lot of fun. After that, the party's over....literally, as we begin to build the higher camps on the mountain. It will be about a week before I am back in base camp again, and assuming the technology gods are still with us, I will send another update.

It has been a game of patience with the camera trap over the past 6 weeks. I've positioned the camera at a friend's hotel and farm – Posada del Valle. We used several locations around the farm and surrounding woodland with varying degrees of success.
The sensitivity of the camera is impressive, even picking out mice moving through long grass. However, this advantage comes at a price, 30 clips of grass and branches blowing in the wind can be very frustrating!
I'm very pleased to catch sight of the genet again and the wild boar wallow appears well established and I'm very hopeful for future recording there.

Camille Pissarro (born July 10, 1830, St. Thomas, Danish West Indies — died Nov. 13, 1903, Paris, France) was a West Indian-born French painter. The son of a prosperous Jewish merchant, he moved to Paris in 1855. His earliest canvases are broadly painted figure paintings and landscapes; these show the careful observation of nature that was to remain a characteristic of his art. In 1871 he took a house in Pontoise, in the countryside outside Paris. These surroundings formed the theme of his art for some 30 years. Pissarro's leading motifs during the 1870s and 1880s were houses, factories, trees, haystacks, fields, labouring peasants, and river scenes. In these works, forms do not dissolve but remain firm, and colours are strong; during the latter part of the 1870s his comma-like brushstrokes frequently recorded the sparkling scintillation of light. These works were admired by the Impressionist artists; Pissarro was the only Impressionist painter who participated in all eight of the group's exhibitions. Despite acute eye trouble, his later years were his most prolific.

Can trust be ever replaced in a relationship?
Sandipan_Ricky
A seven year old relationship. A year of long distance. A relationship no more. That explains most of the relationships we know of today. It all kicks off with over-whelming love. Gifts are exchanged, kisses are stolen, white lies to parents abound. A few years later the bond grows stronger and sometimes the knot is tied. But then when distance creeps in... so creeps in loyalty and trust. I lost someone very close just on the context of trust. Maybe I was a fool. Maybe I did trust more. But the context remained the same. We did not trust each other anymore.

My own relationship actually started with 3 years of long.. looong distance and without trust, there would have never been a point in it.
I don't think that it can ever be replaced, as a relationship can't be kept up without it.
When you truly love someone, you trust them aswell.. when they mistrust you or betray you in your own trust, they've never been worth staying with in the first place.
But if you trust then why do we need to prove it all the time... why can't it be silent... just like affection...
It can be.. some partners would allow that.. some others would want to make you jealous.. some others actually need space.
I don't know why some people are like that, really.. maybe they were cheated on before or were betrayed by someone else already.. in the end, it sadly is us who have to prove ourselves against some idiots out of their past.
I for myself couldn't stand anyone but the silent affectionate type you described however, so I also don't date anyone but that.

I saw this thing somewhere that's like, if you take a new piece of paper, it's perfectly smooth and nice and then you crumple it up. You can try to smooth the paper back out but it's never gonna be the way it was before. That's what trust is like

Tired of the same old manicure? Spice it up with these newspaper nails by 'Cute Polish' and rock the headlines in style. Newspaper ink rubbing off on your hands is nothing new and this process is just as easy: all you'll need is scissors, nail polish base coat, pale nail polish color, any newspaper, alcohol (such as vodka or other clear spirits) and top coat. The video tutorial was created by none other than Cute Polish, a popular YouTube channel with how-to nail guides.
To get these stylin' newspaper nails, pour the alcohol in a glass and cut small newspaper pieces big enough to cover your nails. Apply your base coat, varnish and polish, and when your nails are dry, soak them in the alcohol. Cover your nails with small pieces of newspaper and then slowly remove the paper. This will leave the ink on the nail surface. Once it dries, apply a layer of top coat and voilà! Newspaper nails à la Cute Polish.

Volume 11 Issue 3 March2020 Water Banking at Oroville-Tonasket
In our cover story this month, Jay O'Brien of the Oroville- Tonasket Irrigation District tell us about how his district is putting its unused water in trust and using it to gain revenue while also helping water users in need downstream. It is a promising setup that will be of interest to other Washington State water right holders.
This issue of Irrigation Leader also brings you a number of features on groundwater. In northeastern Nebraska, an area called the Bazile Groundwater Management Area, suffers from nitrate infiltration into its groundwater. We bring you interviews with the managers of four local natural resources districts (NRDs) that have joined forces to engage in education and regulation in an effort to mitigate and reverse the nitrate issue.
We put the Bazile area into context with a few other stories on Nebraska. We speak with Jeff Fassett, the director of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, about how his agency cooperates with the NRDs; with Lyndon Vogt, the manager of the Central Platte NRD, about how his district dealt with a similar nitrate issue; and with Jessica Kolterman of Lincoln Premium Poultry about her company is ensuring that Costco's vast new chicken facilities in Fremont, Nebraska, do not negatively affect local groundwater.
To provide a comparative perspective, we also speak with Zoe Rodriguez del Rey of Coachella Valley Water District about California's new Sustainable Groundwater Management Act and what it requires of groundwater managers.
Kent Foster of Filtra Systems informs us about a new system that will be of interest to rural localities dealing with groundwater contamination: the Voyager, a mobile, trailer-based filtration facility. We also speak with Lee Burbery, a New Zealand–based scientist who is studying ways to mitigate nitrate pollution through wood chip barriers.
Nitrate contamination of groundwater is a problem that is as widespread as agriculture and which frequently poses risks to human and animal health and to local ecosystems. I hope that the stories of these intelligent and committed water managers, innovators, and researchers give you ideas for how to maintain reliable, clean water for your own users.
Kris Polly is editor-in-chief of Irrigation Leader magazine and president and CEO of Water Strategies LLC, a government relations firm he began in February 2009 for the purpose of representing and guiding water, power, and agricultural entities in their dealings with Congress, the Bureau of Reclamation, and other federal government agencies.

History of Economic Analysis
15PECH006
The primary implication of creating a pluralistic economics curriculum should be the realization of a situation in which students practice reality economics. John Kenneth Galbraith (1987:1) states in the Introduction of "A History of Economics: the Past as the Present" that "there can be no understanding of economics without an awareness of its history". Although this is fully acknowledged, history of economic thought courses have almost disappeared from the economics curricula worldwide. Any 'good' economist would argue that a respectable economics programme couldn't do without a course in The History of Economic Thought. Two powerful arguments can be provided for this. Firstly, this would challenge implicit beliefs that many of the ideas and theories of the old 'folks' are by definition obsolete or what we have now in terms of economics represents a more refined current economic theory and economic policy. Secondly, History of Economic Thought has shown that new ideas have been inspired by classical economics. This course will fill this existing gap in the SOAS economics curriculum. Presenting microeconomics and macroeconomics concepts using historical methods will enable students to gain an understanding of the key concepts in the context of the historical origins of such ideas and the role these concepts have played in the development of economic theory. Furthermore, students will develop a critical understanding of economics in terms of its tools and methods of inquiry but also the possibility to question economic ideas whilst developing their own abilities to scrutinize economic ideas and perspectives.
Students pursuing a degree external to the Department of Economics should contact the convenor for approval to take this module.
On successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
Gain a systematic understanding of economic knowledge and of methodological techniques applicable in economics;
Gain originality in the application of knowledge to current economic affairs with a practical understanding of how we can interpret knowledge in economics;
Evaluate competing economic methodologies and methods used by economists and develop adequate critiques;
Address complex economic issues in a systematic and creative way and to demonstrate autonomy in tackling and solving economic problems.
Exam 70% / coursework 30%. All coursework is resubmittable.
The course will draw mainly on Robert Heilbroner (1999), The Wordly Philosophers (7th ed.), New York: Simon and Schuster and Joseph Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis (ed. Elizabeth Boody Schumpeter), New York: Oxford University Press, 1954, but will be supplemented by journal articles that will add to the complexity of the material introduced both in lectures and tutorials.

I can't believe a whole week has gone by already, and it's time once again for me to Share My World, part of Cee's Share Your World feature.
Here's the badge, which I must remember to pop on my sidebar.
Mmm, ice cream. What to choose, what to choose? I think we'll start with cool mint choc chip. Add to that a bit of plain old creamy vanilla and add in a bit raspberry and I think we have the perfect cone.
Unless the raspberry clashes with the mint choc chip, in which case it'll be gross.
I'm right-handed. Very right-handed. I can count on the fingers of one hand the things I can do with my left hand. I'm counting those things on the fingers of my right hand as my left hand is not up to the job.
I rehearse to the point that I have an idea what I want to say, and I decide up-front my opening line. A bit like when I'm giving a talk – have an idea, an outline, and know how you're going to open and the rest will flow naturally.
I hate making phone calls. "Dread" might be a better word. I put them off as long as possible, so you can imagine what the past few months have been like, buying a house. Calls to the solicitor, estate agent, changing my address with a gazillion people. It's never-ending!
I actually stopped answering the land line phone ages ago. I was getting multiple junk calls a day, until I registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and then they largely stopped. My mum uses a code – a certain number of rings, hang up, then she rings again so I know it's her.
As for my mobile, I'll answer it as soon as I fumble it out of my pocket. Sometimes I accidentally answer it while it's in my pocket.
I'm grateful that in the three days I took off from work last week I actually got a lot done, rather than just vegging out like usual. I bought and constructed some bookcases, and they are actually really good, sturdy things. Unbelievable considering they only cost £22.99 from a warehouse chain store – I'm very impressed. Here's a picture of one I put in my bedroom.
Finally "the gang" has found a new home!
I even registered with the local doctor! I needed antibiotics for my eye, which I had to pay for. £7.85, if you can believe that. It's gone up since my last prescription back in the 90s. As a new patient the nurse did a full work-up including a blood test and now they want to monitor my blood pressure. I tried to tell her that it's been "borderline danger level" for years and coming back to have it taken again in 4 weeks isn't going to make any difference, but she wasn't for swaying 😦 .
In the week coming up I'm looking forward to – nothing in particular. Let's just get through it in one piece, shall we?
That's me for this week. Tune in again next week, when I will be Sharing My World once again!
Great answers and wait, is that every season of "ER"?! Nice!
It is every series of ER, yes! It's been a while so I'll probably start them again from the beginning soon.
They're threatening to give me a blood pressure monitor to track mine. I actually have one but it's probably not "NHS approved". I'll probably "forget" about the follow-up appointment but I expect they'll hassle me until I cave.
In the UK it's usually "mis-sold PPI" – very annoying.
I was just about to check out your site – I was afraid I had missed the notification email for your post as I know you do Share My World too. I shall watch out for it!
Nice looking bookcase!!! I really hate having my blood pressure taken. It goes high just thinking about it. My doctor know that is never concerned. I'm fortunate. Thanks for sharing, see you next week!
I think doctors take into account "white coat syndrome" artificially increasing blood pressure. Unfortunately at the time I was feeling particularly calm, so no excuse there!
It doesn't look like it, judging from the answers I've seen!
Great job on the book case! Now I can see your collection! I don't have a landline anymore although sometimes I think about having one installed just in case of emergencies since I have a little one – although everything is digital here already and one has to pay extra for a real landline phone that won't go out when the power is out.
I hear you about the blood pressure. Minute has crept up and I need to have a check up again.
Unfortunately that's only one of four bookcases full of DVDs and Blu-rays! Several car loads, in fact. I only stopped additively buying box sets when I started to look for a house.
I would be any ice cream made by Bluebell. For any others, I'll be strawberries and cream. If they don't have strawberries and cream, I'll be cookies and cream. If they don't have cream ice creams, I'm outta here!
Strawberries and cream sounds good. I've recently taken a liking to raspberry sorbet, which isn't doing my waistline any favours!

Aims to meet Lewisham Homes' strategic objective of delivering "Great Housing Services for Thriving Neighbourhoods". A key challenge is therefore to ensure that the service is resident led and needs based. Lewisham is an amazingly diverse area where 21% of the population do not speak English as their first language and 59% of Lewisham Homes' residents are of black or minority ethnic origin.
Breyer Group have undertaken Community Profiling to understand the social demographics of our work areas. We use Positive Affirmative Action to ensure that knowledge of employment and training opportunities reaches under-represented groups, through Community Recruitment Campaigns, Minority Press (Voice) and Radio (Spectrum).
Obtaining Resident buy-in through enhanced communication and employment and training opportunities has been crucial. Breyer Group's Community Development Manager says "According to ONS statistics 35.8% of 16-24 year olds are unemployed in Lewisham; the closure of the local Connexions Centre means Work Clubs are essential if we're going to help reduce unemployment".
Breyer Group has an active policy of recruiting from within the community and has pledged to provide 1 no. work experience placement per £2m of work and 1 no. NVQ or similar accredited Apprenticeship per £2m of project spend every year. To date, we are ahead of schedule with 5 no. Apprenticeship schemes under way.
Delivery Targets
To meet the Client's aim for Year 1 to make 1,000 properties across both North and South 'Decent'. We met this target in the South area by making 706 properties 'Decent' internally, with a further 145 properties that have external works completed. Further targets are to improve on this in Year 2.
We have set our own tough targets such as reducing our carbon production per £100k project spend by 5% and lowering our waste per £100k spend by another 5%. Through our strategic partnership with British Gas, we have helped identify over 320 postcodes that can benefit from Government grants and assistance to provide new boilers, wall and roof insulation, double glazing and solar panels.
In order to manage the Major Works programme, the Client's Representative, Baily Garner, have developed a database using the latest Microsoft Access software on behalf of Lewisham Homes. The database is accessed through a secure log in process, allowing all members of staff working on the project to gain access to varying amounts of information about the Lewisham Homes' housing stock. This system lists out all the properties in alphabetical order with details of the Resident's profile, contact details, property type, age etc. Then sorted behind each property address there is specific information for that property. For example, various survey information, kitchen designs, colour choices, disclaimers, OT reports etc. There is also an area on the database where property specific key dates are entered. For example,
the date surveys where carried out, works start dates, completion dates etc. With this up-to-date information, we have the ability to run almost an infinite amount of reports. For example, you can see how many properties had their works started on a certain date, how many where completed in a certain month, what percentage of properties were completed on time etc.
For a Major Works programme with large numbers of properties involving a varied amount of workstreams, the database is an essential management tool for us as Service Provider, as well as Lewisham Homes and Baily Garner.
Building on the success and our experience of the first year, Breyer Group have further considered liaison, access, survey, works completion and after care processes that were adopted to ensure that lessons learnt, feedback and efficiencies are captured, evaluated and implemented on a 'Lean Thinking' basis at both strategic and operational level, setting a tone for enhanced target delivery moving forward.
Due to the location of Breyer Group's stock within 'Lewisham South', we are co-locating with Lewisham Homes at their offices in Lea Green. Leegate House is an 8 storey, fully serviced office block located near the centre of Lewisham Homes' housing stock and close to Lee Green station. Works are strategically managed from our main office set up with admin support and the Q.S. team being permanently based here, as well as the Project Manager and Contracts Manager. This has enhanced our communication and transparency with the Lewisham Homes Team. We also have the capacity to run one or two site management teams out of this office when we are working on properties in the local vicinity, so saving on additional prelims.
Our Operational Delivery Team obtains bulk deliveries to this central hub for onward distribution across the works area on a lean 'Milk Round' basis. Waste materials are collected in the same way.
Key Outputs
We maximised added value from the outset with our approach considering:-
Efficient programmes to reduce preliminary costs and create continuity for delivery teams, reducing peaks and troughs, increasing quality and productivity
Integrating suppliers/specialists into the programme to capture knowledge/experience in design, value engineering and whole life cost
This approach has led to the following KPI performance:-
KPI Target Achieving
Resident Satisfaction 94% 95.2%
Quality/defects 94% 95%
Quality/defects 92% 93.4%

Q: Canvas animate point going to original position on mouseleave I created a canvas animation in which lines warp when hovering over the canvas. 1 point is pulled toward the mouse and the other is pushed away.
There are a few aspects of the animation I'm struggling with, I would like to animate the lines being pulled toward the mouse, right now it's just very instant and vice versa for the mouse leaving the canvas, they just receive their initial coördinates which makes it very instant. I tried this by using gsap.to but I can't seem to figure out how to use this to set two seperate points in a line.
One more thing I would like to add is that the further away the mouse is from a certain line, the shorter I would like the line to be. Right now all the lines are equal in length once the mouse hovers the canvas.

Here's what I have so far: https://codepen.io/geordi-feijens/pen/abOMKKY

A: The key is using tweens inside of your draw and mouseleave functions instead of just setting the value. Make sure that you set overwrite to true or auto because the default value of false will not be buggy.
For example this is how you'd set it up in the draw function:
gsap.to(line, {
  duration: 0.2,
  overwrite: 'auto',
  point1x: line.initialpoint1x - Math.cos(angle) * radius,
  point1y: line.initialpoint1y - Math.sin(angle) * radius,
  point2x: line.initialpoint2x + Math.cos(angle) * radius,
  point2y: line.initialpoint2y + Math.sin(angle) * radius
});

The District Council has approved a significant investment of £450,000 in One Leisure St Ives Outdoor Centre. The investment will see the building of a brand-new Training Shed facility, specialising in functional training, nutrition and injury rehabilitation. This decision to expand the fitness offering in the district is in direct response to achieving our objective to improve health and wellbeing and support people to be the best they can be in Huntingdonshire.
One Leisure's services are spread across two sites in St Ives, with the Outdoor Centre in the most pressing need for investment and development. The implementation of the new fitness facility at the Outdoor Centre complements the existing Impressions brand that operates across all One Leisure sites, and will provide a holistic approach to fitness and wellbeing that will serve the ever-growing population of St Ives and its surrounding area. This will be a unique facility that is not on offer anywhere else across Huntingdonshire. The increase in a totally different fitness offering will broaden the number of local residents that benefit from One Leisure's services. It is anticipated that, when established, the new facility will have capacity for over 900 new users.
The new fitness facility will require the repurposing of the One Leisure St Ives Outdoor Centre's squash courts - a move to combat the financial instability of the Outdoor Centre which currently runs at an annual deficit of £70,000. The new facility is projected to bring the Outdoor Centre to a viable future and marks the beginning of an overall strategy for the site that will help ensure that the site is used to its maximised potential and provides facilities that meet the needs of local people. A feasibility study will be completed by the end of 2019 and will set out a path for future decisions and possible further investment to deliver enhancement of buildings and the broader range of outdoor facilities.
Executive Councillor for Partnerships and Wellbeing, John Palmer, said: "This investment represents a significant step towards our objective of empowering Huntingdonshire residents to live active and healthy lives. The decision to repurpose the squash courts was not an easy one - however Huntingdonshire District Council is committed to the most effective use of its assets. We believe that the proposed new facility is an up-to-date response to the fitness demand across the District."
Independent research from Sport England's Active Lives Survey shows that squash participation is on a 'significant decline' nationally. This is a trend that has also been felt locally with numbers declining steadily since 2011. Across One Leisure's sites squash bookings are currently well below capacity, at the St Neots and Huntingdon sites, only 34% and 23% of courts are booked respectively. Comparing that with St Ives where the booking percentage is only at 20%.
Whilst the 324 unique squash users at St Ives will be displaced, the demand for squash can be accommodated at our other closest sites. Huntingdonshire District Council has agreed to work closely with St Ivo Racquets Club to retain its presence in the area.
In recent years, the other One Leisure sites have received heavy capital investment and have since become financially stable, generating a return which secures the future of these centres. The increase in offering at the St Ives Outdoor facility will broaden the number of local residents that benefit from One Leisure's services, the next stage in developing and improving the facilities and services available to Huntingdonshire residents.

EDUCATION, ARTS AND MUSIC LEADERS SUBMIT CA BULLETIN ACTION PROPOSAL TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR ARTISTIC AND MUSIC EDUCATION IN EVERY K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL IN CALIFORNIA
The measure would not raise taxes ~ The measure would increase access and equity by providing additional funding to schools that serve students from struggling families, especially students of color ~ Early supporters of the proposed measure include educators, artists, artists and leaders in the creative industry
Los Angeles, Nov. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – A coalition of educators, entrepreneurs and leaders in art and music, led by Austin Beutner, who served as superintendent of the Unified School District of Los Angeles and chairman of the board of directors of CalArts, tabled a ballot measure to increase funding for arts and music education in public schools from kindergarten to grade 12 statewide without raising taxes. The measure provides for a new dedicated funding stream for arts and music education equivalent to 1% of the state's existing K-12 annual investment – generating about $ 800 million more in funding. This measure would provide additional funding for schools beyond Prop. 98 and is specifically designed to protect existing public education funding, including Prop dollars. 98.
Click here read the proposed voting measure on the California Attorney General's Office website.
California's spending on arts and music education has lagged significantly behind other states; and 96% of colleges and 72% of high schools in California do not offer high-quality education in arts and music. Access to arts education is lower in the poorest schools. The cause of California's lack of arts education offerings, although the state is the arts and entertainment capital of the world, is directly linked to inadequate and unstable funding for these programs.
To address this, this coalition of educators, entrepreneurs, artists and musicians, under the leadership of Austin Beutner, seeks to make arts education a priority for the state of California. This proposed measure, intended for the general election of November 2022, would:
Protect existing Prop 98 funding – the proposed new funding for arts and music education would be in addition to existing Prop 98 funding.
Provide increased funding to all K-12 public schools statewide, with an additional allocation for schools that serve low-income students to address the lack of equitable access to arts education and musical.
Include strong accountability and transparency measures, including requiring school districts to submit annual public reports to verify that funds are being spent as intended.
This new funding will increase the number of arts and music teachers in the classroom by more than 50%.
"This effort will ensure that every Californian child has a chance to participate in music and the arts, thus creating the foundation to help them be successful in school and in life," said Austin Beutner, promoter of the poll initiative. "As a shy student entering my fourth new school in February of 5th grade, I didn't know anyone and was friendless. A teacher suggested that I join his music class for lunch and learn to play the cello, which sparked a lifelong passion for music. It's a passionate project for me and in a time of record state budgets, we need to make children in our public schools a priority. "
Studies of academic achievement show that arts education improves student learning, socio-emotional development, and general mental well-being. Music education has been shown to improve cognitive development and spatial reasoning, while the dramatic arts improve reading comprehension. The arts and music experience contributes to continued school readiness and academic performance, with studies finding strong correlations with math and reading skills. Arts education is also linked to developing more engaged and resilient students, developing skills that support them in and outside the classroom for healthy success throughout life. Students from low-income backgrounds with an arts education are less likely to drop out of school, more likely to obtain a research degree, and more likely to pursue a professional career.
A recent Tulchin Research poll of likely voters from November 2022 finds strong support for measuring the ballot:
The voting initiative has received support from some of California's top artists and educators:
"I am all for giving children better access to music and arts education because creativity saved my life. I want to do this for every kid in California ", said Dr Dre. "Our recent school program in South LA is just the start. We have the opportunity to do something truly transformative that has never been done before. This is the goal of this effort.
"Through arts and music education courses, students can acquire craft and computer skills that translate into careers in fields such as animation, graphic design, video games, video production, and audio engineering. . Arts and music education also teaches collaboration and creative thinking which are essential in life and virtually in all jobs. " said will.i.am, Grammy Award-winning musician, producer and tech entrepreneurr. "California schools need to do more to bring contemporary arts programs to classrooms, which is why I support this effort to increase funding for the arts and music in schools."
"This voting measure will help define the promise of the next generation of storytellers by ensuring that all California students receive the high quality arts and music education they deserve," said Issa Rae, actress, screenwriter and producer. "This will particularly benefit students from communities of color, who often experience a lack of access and equity in access to arts and music education. I directly benefited from artistic education.
"California is a huge part of the global creative economy – in the arts, music, entertainment and entrepreneurship," said Jimmy Iovine. "This effort will help prepare every California public school student to be a part of that future. It's a pure victory for everyone. "
"Home of Fender is California and our commitment to music has lasted 75 years. " said Andy Mooney, CEO of Fender Musical Instruments Corp.. "This initiative builds on Fender's commitment to music teachers and students in Unified Schools in Los Angeles through the Fender Play Foundation. "
"Children love art and music! The school day is much better and more engaging when kids have the chance to be creative and social through the arts. It also increases children's confidence and much more ", said Richard Lovett, CAA co-chair. "I am very proud to support the initiative and look forward to the positive impact it will have. "
"Equity and area of access among the biggest challenges we face in public education in California," said Pedro Noguera, dean of USC's Rossier School of Education. "For too long, students from low-income communities, especially children of color, have not had access to music and arts education. This initiative is an important step in solving the problem.
"Given the importance of the creative industries to California, it is inexcusable that we deny more than 6 million public school students an education in music and the arts. " said Chris Meledandri, Founder and CEO of ILLUMINATION.
"Arts education is essential to our human future", said Michael Govan, CEO and Director of Wallis Annenberg, Los Angeles County Muesum of Art. "Not only does it inspire and motivate students to love learning, it also supports the development of motor, language and social skills. And yet, despite the impressive benefits of arts education, not all students have access to these quality learning experiences. As one of the largest museum school arts programs in the country, we hear directly from schools asking for more support. We all understand that the lives of students are improved by the arts in schools. Creativity is the key to our human future. The arts are not optional in education.
"Access to arts education validates the unique and individual perspective through which young people see the world, giving them the opportunity to cultivate their engagement in their communities and our democracy" said Ravi Rajan, president of the California Institute of the Arts.
"The goal of our work at the California Community Foundation is to ensure that every child, especially those from underserved communities, enjoys a safe and supportive learning environment and an excellent education." said Antonia Hernández, President and CEO of the California Community Foundation. "This effort to provide more students with access to arts and music education will go a long way in making this possible. We hope others will join us in helping to turn this dream into reality.
"School is where we raise young minds. I never forget my humble beginnings of playing the trumpet in college with my music teacher Mr. Simon. He had so many instruments and we were so many students. It seemed like the resources were there, all we had to do was show up and take advantage ", said Eloy Adame, secondary instrumental music teacher at the Elizabeth Learning Center. "I'm originally from Los Angeles and a product of the Los Angeles Unified School System, as a professional trumpeter I have toured the US and overseas. Now, right now, I find myself teaching in the community that I love and grew up in. I see, with my colleagues, first had the meager resources allocated to arts education in our public school system. This is why I want to get involved in a ballot initiative that would allow teachers like me to guide more students and help them find their creative potential in all the arts.
"As an art teacher, I see with my own eyes how students develop confidence, strong friendships and take ownership of their schools while learning to express themselves through art" said Professor Jesus Sotelo Martinez. "When we talk about personal empowerment, nothing comes close to the power of art. We can do so much more for students if we have additional resources, and this effort will also allow us to reach many more children.

Notre Dame Cathedral will shut its doors for five to six years for repairs the rector has announced, as it was revealed the spire's famed rooster weathervane was discovered in the smouldering rubble.
Bishop Patrick Chauvet acknowledged the 850-year-old church would shut its doors for 'five to six years' as he spoke with local business owners on Wednesday, two days after a blaze torched the roof of the cathedral and brought down its spire.
According to cathedral guides, the rooster had acted as a 'spiritual lightening rod' to protect the Notre Dame faithful.
The sculpture of the cockerel – which is an unofficial symbol of France – was recovered on Tuesday by a restorer picking through the debris.
An official separately told Le Parisien newspaper that the statue was 'battered but apparently restorable'.
The official was quoted saying that, when the 19th-century spire had collapsed into the cathedral, the rooster statue had detached 'and fallen on the good side… away from the seat of the fire'.
On Wednesday, French PM Edouard Philippe announced a global architects' competition to rebuild the spire of the cathedral.
Several Anglophile Parisians said it reminded them of that famous wartime image of St Paul's Cathedral standing tall during the Blitz.
Macron cleared yesterday's Cabinet meetings of all other business to focus exclusively on Notre Dame. Such is the mystical hold this 12th Century Gothic masterpiece has on the national psyche.
A key issue will be the cost. Under French law, the ownership of the cathedral rests with the State but the French taxpayer received a handsome head start yesterday when two of the country's richest families pledged 300million euros before breakfast.
There will be no Easter at Notre Dame, for the first time in nearly nine centuries. There was also a message yesterday from the Prince of Wales. 'I realise only too well what a truly special significance the cathedral holds at the heart of your nation,' he told Macron.
'There is a spirit which lives inside and above this building, one you don't find in, say, the Eiffel Tower,' said Ambrose Laurent, secretary of France's Conference of Bishops.
Then the bishops issued a joint statement saying every cathedral in France would ring its bells today at the precise time when Monday's fire broke out.
