I've maded a little change in the code to delete a session, so that if the data didn't already exist, it wouldn't complain with an error.
So, now, when I recreate a session, I'll explicitelly delete it rigt away and won't be waiting for it eventually die.
I won't cancel the timed delete order given when it was created, anyway..... That one will be carryied out but has the session has already been deleted, it will do it's stuff and won't delete anything (it was already deleted) nor will complain, either!


As we all start to drown under the demands of social media it is important to consider how we spend our limited time.
Wow, I haven't written a blog post in over a month! As a matter of fact, I haven't been on Google + more than two or three times in that period, have barely glanced at Facebook, and have all but abandoned my nightly perusing of Google Analytics. I haven't looked at Pinterest in over a month, nor have I kept up with Tumbler. A few perfunctory tweets on twitter rounds out my social media activities. Taking note of this, I realized that I have found a way to convert my Social Media efforts into more revenue. I am doing that by spending less time on social media and more time doing what I really love doing, making more images. Between Getty and Blend I have uploaded fifty of my composited concept images and uploaded another 45 "accepted" images shot as part of a joint shoot with a friend of mine. This has been the most productive month I have ever had. So while my headline maybe be a little misleading I think it is important for those who are serious about stock photography to carefully consider how they use their time.
For the last several years I have been working at getting more efficient, more disciplined and more productive. That isn't necessarily the same thing as spending less money on shoots because in what I do time is my biggest constraint, not the cost of the shoot. My emphasis has been on efficient use of my time and I have found a couple ways that are really helping me in that goal.
My latest technique for increasing my productivity is to have my next image already planned before I finish the current one. I am now spending a little time each day planning out the next image and what individual steps need to be done towards completion of the image whether it is finding a photo from my archives, shooting a prop, or casting models.
Whether I am about to begin a new image or hopefully complete one in progress, I find it immensely helpful to plan the first task to undertake the next morning. I can't stress enough how important this seems to be to jump right into a good creative/work flow each morning. Getting a good productive start in the morning seems to almost always carry right on through for the entire day. So the last thing I do before I leave the studio is review what I will start on first thing the next the morning.
The other part of my increased productivity is in committing to ideas. I always have a list of ideas to work on, but now I commit to the next one before I finish the one I am working on. Now it doesn't always play out that way. I also allow myself to jump into images that present themselves to me during the course of my work. For example, as I peruse through my files looking for parts I need an idea will often spring to mind. If I finish an image and it is fairly early in the day I might then jump on such an idea and try and whip it out before starting on my next "major" idea. But again, the important thing is that I have an image already mapped out and ready to dive into.
I do take occasional breaks to exercise and to surf the net. Giving myself permission for brief sorties outside my "production zone" insures that I don't get burned out…which would really negatively affect my output! I might also add that I often take a day out of my work week to work around the house and I take several trips each year with at least one being a major one usually to some exotic destination. Giving myself plenty of "off" time keeps me at my best when I am working.
A reminder here that the one trait I can see that is shared by all the top earning stock photographers that I know is that they all are prolific photographers. They combine quality, quantity and consistency. That is the overriding goal I find myself working towards these days. If I can achieve that then I believe the money will take care of itself...and so far it seems to be working.
Good post! Pretty much the same here I have uploaded over 100 shots to the Getty RM/RF in the last month and a half.
I have almost quit micro altogether except for IS and DT. It feels like a big stone come off my back, having to produce hundreds of images only to find them killed by paranoid search-changes.
Your articles are always intersting and full of logic.
Just a small curiosity about what probably is a minor detail: how do you keep stored your ideas? Do you write them in a (paper) notebook, use some sort of lists sync'd between laptop and smartphone, or else?
I have a notepad with me at all times and stickies littered all over my studio. Once a week I put all of those ideas onto my master list on my computer.
Hi John: How many images does one need to have on Getty to make a living from stock photography? More RF or RM?
There is no one answer to the question about how many images one needs to have on Getty to make a living. How much do you need to make a living? Do your images earn more or less than average...and what the heck is average?
Anyone else have any thoughts about that?
Hi John: Thanks for the insight. I am slowly getting past the 2,000 mark and not quite there yet. I think by 3,000, I might be able to quit my day job.
John: What is your opinion of the Flickr collection Getty Images?
I really don't have any strong opinion on Getty's flickr images as I do not have any direct experience there. That being said, I think that any way one can get into the Getty collection is a plus....so why not? Basically, you are throwing images against the wall to see if any "stick". Anyone else out there with more experience in that area have any opinions?
Hi John, I agree that "Converting Social Media Efforts Into Photo Revenue". So even I read almost every article in your blog, I never write anything here. Actually, some articles I read 2 or 3 times, because they are interesting (and my English is not very well :). Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Many times I got courage from your words and your experience are nutrients for me.
About Getty/Flickr collection, I join them since May 2010. I submitted new images every month till October 2012. Now, I have around 1150 images in Getty/Flickr collection. I stopped upload to Flickr since October 2012, because I got invitation to contribute to House collections (The Image Bank and Digital Vision etc.).
I am not like Flickr collection very much for many reasons. First, my annual return per image in last year is around $10.5. It is almost equal to my RPI in Micro stocks. Second, there is too crowded. There are 623,322 images in Flickr collection now. And I think there is not too much room for them in first 10 pages when buyers searching. Third, Images are not always selected by professional editors. Actually, you can't send images for selection. You can only pray for random selection by "curator".
I know a few top contributors can get good return from Getty/Flickr collection. But I think it is still very far from What John Lund got from Getty. Off course, I also know some people have nearly thousands of images there, but get nearly nothing per month. I think the critical success factor is still "Quality".
John: Waiting for your new post, almost a month!

Many dog owners are really nervous at the idea of trimming their pets nails at home. A wriggly dog, and the possibility of cutting too far can be quite off putting. But, with patience, and some preparation, nail cutting can be done safely and easily in between grooms at home.
In the wild, dogs nails wear down naturally if they're spending a lot of time walking or running on hard and rough surfaces. However, with many of today's dog mostly living in doors and only walking for short distances, their nails may not be filing down naturally. So, a regular trim really is needed. Long nails are more prone to splitting, or being torn off if they catch on the carpet. Very long nails cause the toes to twist, making walking uncomfortable and traction poor. If nails grow further they can become ingrown which causes painful abscesses.
Keeping nails trimmed can be really daunting for both owners and dogs, so its important to get your dog used to having their paws touched. Work up to this gradually by placing your dog on your lap, or next to you on the couch, and holding their paw for a short time. Reward with a treat, praise and cuddle. Continue this daily, holding your dogs paw for a longer period each time.
Once your pet is calmly on your lap, you can start by trimming one nail very slightly, rewarding and letting your dog go. Slowly work your way up to doing more at once, or you can just trim a little off, one or two of the nails at a time, and then rotate them every couple of days to help keep it a positive experience.
Make sure you use a quality pair of dog nail clippers. They have to have a stainless steel blade and replace that as soon as it becomes worn down or blunt. Look for clippers with a safety guard to prevent putting the toe or nail too far into the clippers.
It's important to identify where the sensitive quick is located in your dog's nails. This is where the nerves and blood supply are located. If you cut it, it will cause pain and it will bleed. In white nails it will usually appear area inside the nails. You can see it more easily if you hold a light behind the nail. Identifying the quick in dark nails can be quite difficult. Ask your vet or groomer to show you before you attempt those ones at home. And, don't forget the thumb! It's quite sneaky, and it's called the dew claw.
Holding your dogs paw firmly, but not uncomfortably in your hand, place the nail into the clippers, ensuring the quick is not inside the cutting area. Its best to only take a few millimetres off at a time, especially in those dark nails. The clippers should be parallel to the foot pad. This will help avoid the quick, and mimics the angle of a naturally work nail. You can use a nail file to smooth any rough or jagged edges. If you do accidentally cut too far, cornstarch can be very handy to quickly stopped the bleeding.
Remember, little by little is the way to go! Good Luck!

Racial Equity In Vaccination? Dialysis Centers Can Help With That
Frankie Shaw had diabetes by age 22, had a stroke at 35, and for the past five years has been on dialysis. It's a a grueling treatment regimen that requires either multiple visits to a clinic each week or hours a day, multiple days a week on a home machine.
Over the past year, fear of COVID-19 dogged Shaw, who's now 44 and a retail store manager. Friends died; her twin brother was recently hospitalized with COVID-19 and still has difficulty breathing. That terrified Shaw, who also has hypertension. "Just imagine if I had COVID, or if I didn't have anything to help boost my immune system to help fight it off?"
Shaw's situation is pretty typical of the 550,000 people in the U.S. on dialysis.
Patients on dialysis who get COVID-19 are about 10 to 15 times more likely to die of it than average, in part because they have multiple other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension that are also risk factors.
Delaying dialysis treatment is potentially lethal, so many people risk infection to attend treatment in a clinic — three times a week on average, for hours at a time.
About half of dialysis patients in the U.S. are Black or Latino, people whose vulnerability to both kidney disease and COVID-19 are both made worse by lower access to health care.
Last week, the Biden administration said it would distribute vaccines directly to dialysis clinics as part of its broader effort to expand vaccination in high-risk communities.
Experts say vaccinating at dialysis centers is an elegant solution to many thorny problems.
It's a step "that will lead to health equity," says Joseph Vassalotti, chief medical officer for the National Kidney Foundation.
Until now, only a handful of states allowed dialysis clinics to administer vaccines, including Shaw's home state of Louisiana.
She got vaccinated in January by her regular nurse at her local dialysis center.
"If I hadn't gotten it so early and so fast because of dialysis, I probably still would have been on a waiting list because of my age," says Shaw, who is 44.
Meanwhile, despite being in a high priority group, it took her 64-year-old mother months to find local appointments for the vaccine. "Her primary care doctor couldn't get it, she goes to get her medicines at Walgreens; Walgreens wasn't getting it," Shaw says.
Dialysis clinics are often located in areas that are underserved by other forms of health care. And many already vaccinate their patients against other illnesses.
"Our patients rely on us for all their care, and we have always handled all the other vaccines, whether it be flu, hepatitis or pneumonia, so they come to trust us," says Bill Valle, CEO of Fresenius Medical Care North America, which operates a large network of clinics serving about 40% of the country's dialysis patients.
Because patients come in three times a week, they develop deep relationships with dialysis staff, so those clinicians are a powerful force in helping educate patients and overcome hesitancy over taking vaccines, Valle says.
Columbia Nephrology in South Carolina expects its first federal allotment to arrive this week, says Brent Shealy, president of the network of dialysis centers. He says he's argued for months to offer vaccination at his centers, which serve about 2,000 dialysis patients — 65% of whom are Black, and many of whom live in rural areas.
"It's really difficult to tell them, 'Hey, just go get a vaccine,' because they may not have the Internet capability to do it; they may not be able to drive to get it," Shealy says. Outside of cities, it's hard to find mass vaccination events or community health centers that offer it. "So it makes complete sense to give it at the dialysis clinic," he says.
This will make a difference to people like Sandra Davis. She's 76 and started dialysis six years ago after a car accident that broke her pelvis and leg, immobilizing her for a while. She now uses a walker and travels by bus to get dialysis every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Vaccinators have come to the building where she lives, she says, but "when they come, I'm on dialysis, I'm not here, so I can't have it."
It would make a huge difference, Davis says, if she could get it at the clinic that already vaccinates her against the flu every year.
"I'd rather have it at the clinic that I go to, because they know everything about me; I don't have to travel with all my business all over the place," she says.
If she can just get the shot, she says, she's confident she still has a lot of life left to live.

very interesting project! my english is not good, is there someone german speaking?
Hi Monica, Karin is from The Netherlands and speaks Dutch as well as English and I understand most German but don't really speak it! I'll find out if Karin speaks German but from the teaching point of view I think that I should be able to communicate well enough to make it possible for people to understand me, at least I hope so!!!
Sounds terrific. If my schedule permits I'd love to join. Looking forward to the flyer and more info.
Hi Terrie, We would love for you to join us!!! The flyer should be ready next week but I'll email you the basic info.
Got the basic info, all looks tempting. Will keep an eye on the flyer. Excited !
I would also love to come but I don't know if my schedule is going to let me(too much work) but I will love to come and to do something that I really like.
So happy that such good things are coming your way.
All these knew experiences with wool, popping up! How can you contain yourself??? I would be so excited to be able to do this. the creative juices will be really flowing this week in Portugal. Cannot wait to see what you come up with thru photos.

Faux Conservatives Being Challenged
December 15, 2019 Staff National News 0
By John Friend
A burgeoning movement on the dissident right comprised of America-first nationalists concerned with immigration, changing demographics, disastrous foreign entanglements, and globalism are on a mission to publicly confront, challenge, and expose the mainstream conservative establishment epitomized by figures such as Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA (TPUSA) and Ben Shapiro of "The Daily Wire," among others.
The America-first movement, led primarily by Nick Fuentes, a 21-year-old rising political commentator and host of "America First," a popular nightly political analysis program on YouTube, has gained steam in recent weeks as supporters of the movement have publicly confronted Kirk and others associated with Conservative Inc at public events across the country. Kirk is wrapping up the TPUSA-sponsored Culture War tour, which brought the young conservative speaker and political organizer to various college campuses for public events that also featured open question and answer sessions.
Throughout the tour, Kirk invited other mainstream conservative figures on stage with him, and also helped organize similar events not officially part of the Culture War tour, including a recent book-signing event at UCLA featuring Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and Fox News commentator that now serves as a senior adviser on the Trump presidential campaign. Other campus conservative groups, such as Young America's Foundation and various college Republican organizations, have also organized public events in recent weeks that have been attended by supporters of the America-first movement.
Fuentes and his followers have used the Q&A sessions at these events to publicly challenge the conservative credentials of Kirk and others on stage with him, pressing the representatives of Conservative Inc on issues relating to massive immigration, both legal and illegal, unwavering support for Israel, and related matters. Questioners have even broached taboo topics such as Israel's brutal assault on the USS Liberty in 1967, Israeli espionage against the U.S., and various cultural issues such as Conservative Inc's seeming support and acceptance of the mainstreaming of homosexuality.
This reporter attended the aforementioned book signing event at UCLA, organized by TPUSA's UCLA chapter. The event was designed to promote Donald Trump Jr.'s recently published book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us All, with an open discussion followed by a book signing. Originally scheduled as a two-hour event, Kirk, Trump Jr., and Guilfoyle were forced to flee the stage after only 30 minutes due to boos and dissatisfaction from the audience, who were not allowed to ask questions or engage the speakers. Just prior to the speakers taking the stage, a representative from TPUSA's UCLA chapter announced that a Q&A session would not be allowed due to time constraints. The announcement brought a deafening chorus of boos from the audience, many of whom were supporters of the America-first movement hoping to engage the speakers and challenge Kirk.
Carelessness from police. Misconduct by prosecutors. Even, maybe, surveillance by intelligence agents. What really happened on August 9, 1969? Now at the AFP Store.
Since the event, a number of establishment media outlets have covered the America-first movement and its confrontation with Conservative Inc with the typical smears and slanders being leveled against a group of largely young American nationalists concerned about the future of their country, the direction of the conservative movement, and President Trump's America-first agenda, which has been stymied by the Deep State and virtually the entire political and media establishment for decades now, if not the entire 20th century and now the 21st.
In response, Fuentes argued that the America-first movement does not have an issue with Donald Trump Jr. or the president. Rather, they are focused on exposing the faux conservatives surrounding the president and dominating the broader movement.
They want their voices heard and engaging mainstream conservative figures at public events has proven to be a successful strategy. "Our problem is with Charlie Kirk's TPUSA organization that shuts down and smears socially conservative Christians and supporters of President Trump's agenda," Fuentes said in part following the fallout from the UCLA event. "We are America first."
Fuentes summed up the predicament the president finds himself in currently, indicating the forces the America First movement is opposing.
"President Trump's agenda has been subverted from the beginning by people in his White House or inner circle who didn't vote for him, aren't loyal to him, and actively oppose his policies," Fuentes noted. "They are the globalist GOP swamp trying to recapture the party from Trump and his voters," he said.

De Sint-Bonifatiuskerk in Leeuwarden is een rooms-katholieke kerk gewijd aan de HH. Bonifatius en Gezellen. Zij vormt een van de hoogtepunten uit de carrière van architect P.J.H. Cuypers. Het koororgel is van de Franse orgelbouwer Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Dit orgel was oorspronkelijk gebouwd voor het Sint-Willibrordus College in Katwijk.

Geschiedenis
De kerk werd tussen 1882 en 1884 gebouwd. Zij is een grote driebeukige kruisbasiliek in neogotische stijl. De kerktoren wordt bekroond door een hoge houten spits naar voorbeeld van die van de Sint-Pancraskerk in Enkhuizen. Op 3 januari 1976 brak de spits tijdens een zeer zware storm af. In 1979-1980 werd zij herbouwd volgens het originele ontwerp.

Het koor heeft een bijzonder lage apsis met tentdak, omsloten door een smalle omgang. Deze constructie is zeer waarschijnlijk afgekeken van de Nidaros-domkerk in Trondheim, waarvan de restauratie juist in die tijd werd afgerond.

Toen de kerk werd gebouwd bestond er een kans dat Leeuwarden bisschopszetel zou worden; met het oog daarop werd er een bisschoppelijk paleis bij de kerk gebouwd. Toen de bisschopszetel naar Groningen ging werd dit paleis ingericht als ziekenhuis.

In 1938 werd ter gelegenheid van het zilveren priesterjubileum van pastoor Th.R. Holtmann op het plein voor de kerk een beeld van Christus Koning geplaatst, gemaakt door Wim Harzing.

Trivia
 De kerktoren staat ook afgebeeld op de cd-hoes 'Canta Slauerhoff' (2000) van de Portugese fadozangeres Cristina Branco en tevens was het deze kerk waarin ze de cd opnam en presenteerde.
 Op 27 november 1947 raakte een vliegtuig de toren en verloor een stuk van zijn vleugel. Het vliegtuig kon veilig een noodlanding maken.
Op 3 januari 1976 waaide de torenspits van de kerk tijdens een orkaanstorm. De torenspits is in 1980 volledig herbouwd.

Clay Conley '20 made headlines at Haverford's McElligot Invitational with their performance in the shot put event. Conley, a junior from New Canaan, Connecticut, recorded the Centennial Conference's top shot put throw of the year at 13.00 meters. Conley's throw was more than two meters further than the second-place finisher at the McElligot Invitational, and finished 14th overall in marks in the all of Division III this athletic year. The Garnet will compete next on February 16 at the Keogh Invitational at Haverford College.
Ping Promrat: What is your major and what motivated you to choose it?
Clay Conley: I'm a music and gender and sexuality studies double major. I came to Swarthmore as a math and music double major. However, three things changed: I stopped being cisgender, I stopped being straight, and math got far too difficult.
PP: What made you choose Swarthmore?
CC: I was a recruited track athlete for regular decision. I fell in love with my coach, Lauren Lucci; my host and future teammate, Maggie O'Neil, showed me how at Swarthmore you can do music, sports, and schoolwork, and I listened to a recording of Swarthmore's Orchestra performing "Scheherazade" by Rimsky-Korsakov, and I was sold.
PP: How did it feel to record the top conference shot put throw of the season? How do you balance motivating yourself on a personal level with the combined team aspect of the sport?
CC: Shot put is my baby. Of all the events I compete in, shot put is my favorite and I care the most about my performance. I'm chasing Nationals this year, so getting the top throw in the conference is, I guess in some way, just the first step. Track is a very individualized sport. The throws [are] particularly [individualized] because there are no relays to compete in. It is every person for themselves. Between my teammates, we have really healthy competition. We all want each other to do our best (e.g. PR), but we also all simultaneously want gold. I'd say we feed off of each others' craving for first place.
PP: What led you to originally compete in track and field as a kid?
CC: I started track my senior year of high school, because my best friend was a captain. I was the captain of the softball team, so I only intended to compete in indoor. However, I ended up winning counties, states, and broke my school's indoor school record. Also, I was deferred from my ED school and saw track as a new avenue to get into college beyond academics. I then subsequently quit softball and fell in love with track and field.
PP: If you could change one thing about Swarthmore, what would it be?
CC: If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about Swarthmore, I would remove all exclusive spaces that are rooted in the privilege of its members.
PP: Favorite spot on campus?
CC: Underhill seminar room. I've cried in that room, had existential crises in the room, had class in that room, and had amazing conversations in that room.
CC: Indian bar! My teammate Naomi Bronkema doesn't get the hype. It's okay though, she is still perfect.
PP: What are your personal and team goals for the rest of the season?
CC: I feel like our team goal, specifically the throwers' team goal, is to reach our personal goals. Track is so individualized that we just want everyone to excel personally. Like I said before, I'm chasing Nationals. But I care about shot put so much that I get really anxious and nervous when competing so if I can work through that this season…I guess we will just have to wait and see!

A President That Prays
Reporting for Fox News, on February 1, 2018, Elizabeth Zwirz posted the wonderful story about Sophia Campa-Peters, a 9 year old girl who recently underwent brain surgery.
"On behalf of President Trump, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders asked the nation on Jan. 23 to pray for a little girl in Texas who was prepping for an upcoming surgery for a rare brain condition, KFOR reported. And it appears that those prayers were answered after the girl's father said Sunday that his daughter was out of the ICU and "getting back to her normal, goofy, silly, self."
"Sophia is out of ICU, she is in a regular room and doing well!" Scott Andy Peters said on Facebook. "Physical Therapist says she looks great. She is eating pizza and watching Frozen, getting back to her normal, goofy, silly self."
Nine-year-old Sophia Marie Campa-Peters, of Brownfield, Texas, had surgery at Boston Children's Hospital on Friday for "a rare disease that causes the blood vessels in her brain to narrow and close," according to the statement from the White House. The condition has reportedly caused the girl to suffer a number of strokes throughout her young life, some of which left her partially paralyzed.
Word of her condition and pending operation made its way to the desk of President Trump. Peters reportedly hoped to get 10,000 people to pray for her on the day of her surgery.
"We want to make sure she gets that and far exceeds it," Sanders said during the press briefing on Jan. 23. "So today, Sophia, I'm here to tell you that millions of people from every corner of the world will be praying for you on January 26th."
"And among those will be people, and all of us here at the White House, including President Trump," Sanders continued. "He told me to tell you to keep fighting, to never give up, keep inspiring us all, and never, ever lose faith in God. With Him, all things are possible."
Over the course of Peters' diagnosis, Sanders said the girl demonstrated bravery and inexplicably overcame obstacles "leaving her doctors dumfounded."
Despite undergoing a number of surgeries, Sanders said, Peters "has faced each one of them with a fearless exuberance for life that warms the heart of everyone she meets."
This is a lovely story. It is an inspirational story. It is a story that will not be widely reported by the mainstream news media because the story reveals the great heart President Trump has for the weak and sick in our society. Nevertheless, the following gospel truths can be discerned.
God is a Prayer Hearing God
First, God is a prayer hearing God. "O thou that hearest prayer" (Psa. 65:2). Believing this, little
Sophia Peters and her family invited 10,000 people to pray with her, and for her, on the day of her surgery.
Second, God is a prayer answering God. Sometimes the Lord will answer our prayers in the way that was asked. "I asked, He answered," is the testimony of countless people when a specific request has been made. Sometimes the Lord will answer our prayer in an unexpected way that is even better. Sometimes God will say no to a petition. Sometimes God will say wait. But every prayer prayed will be answered by God in some way.
Third, God will answer prayer that is for our good. This is the promise of Romans 8:28. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Fourth, God will respond to the prayers of righteous individuals. "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16)
Fifth, God will raise up righteous leaders to be a good example to a nation, for, "righteousness exalts a nation." (Prov. 13:34) President Donald J. Trump is proving himself to be a righteous man. He is not a perfect man, any more than King David was a man without great personal flaws. However, President Trump is a righteous man when he prays, invites prayer, and leads the nations to pray for others. A heart of love will pray for others. George Sand said, "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." Dear people let us love one another, for love is of God. (1 John 4:7)
Pray for the President
As the President prays for individuals, let the nation pray for the President. It is the known will of God. "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;" (1 Tim. 2:1-3)

Home / Clubs / THE SOUTH WEST WELCOMES THE SUMMER 7'S!
July 11, 2018 Laura HallsmithClubs, Initiatives
Sunday 8th July saw Hockey Wales' brightest new hockey initiative, the Summer 7's make its mark on the South West!
Holding the first tournament of its kind in South West Wales, we welcomed sides from Swansea City, Carmarthen, Pembroke County and Aberystwyth University to King George V Playing Fields in sweltering heat.
Water bases are widely renowned as the best surface to play on, and this sentiment was echoed doubly with the water cannons coming on at the start of the second round of fixtures. A lovely downpour helped the players to cool down as temperatures easily broke the 30 C mark on the South coast.
The Pembroke County squad literally soaking themselves in the water from the turf to cool down!
With the elite company of Mixed Welsh Internationals on the adjacent pitch, the day turned into a feast of hockey for everyone involved!
Teams all played each other twice with scores being worked out on aggregate before a final winner was announced. Pembroke County eventually ran out winners with all of them bagging themselves tickets to the Euro Hockey Under 18 Boys Championships in Cardiff as a result.
Here are some very happy winners:
Despite the long journey, Aberystwyth University were great to have along for the day and provided fantastic entertainment on and off the pitch:
Carmarthen also made their first Summer 7s outing in the scorching heat:
Expressing his pride and excitement around another successful Summer 7's event, National Initiatives Lead, Tom Little:
Its great to see the Summer 7's growing so quickly throughout Wales. We started this project in 2017 just hosting it on one site in North Wales, now we have 4 established sites and a hunger from clubs to deliver more. The long-term aim of this project is to provide opportunities for our member clubs to play hockey for 12 months a year, we've still got a long way to go, but events like this show just how passionate our membership base is to play more and more hockey
There are still Summer 7's tournaments your club can get involved in nationwide.
For more information on these check out Hockey Wales socials or contact Tom Little (National Initiatives Lead)

'Evita' captures authentic Latin spirit
The show tells of how Eva Peron used her beauty and charisma to rise from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as first lady.
'Evita' captures authentic Latin spirit The show tells of how Eva Peron used her beauty and charisma to rise from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as first lady. Check out this story on greenvilleonline.com: http://grnol.co/1qjdT95
GRE Published 4:46 p.m. ET June 19, 2014
(Photo: Richard Termine)
The look and feel of the re-envisioned production of "Evita" coming next week to Greenville can be summed up in one word:
That's the term that producer Hal Luftig frequently uses to describe the new staging of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1979 show, which runs for eight performances at the Peace Center, Tuesday through Sunday.
This Broadway touring production strives to replicate the story's Argentinian backdrop with greater detail and flavor.
"We have authentic sets, which actually look like places in Buenos Aires," Luftig said, speaking by phone from his office in New York City. "The costumes are authentic because they're based on the actual style of the day. The choreography is authentic, featuring all kinds of tango. There's joyous tango, there's a wedding tango and there's even a funeral tango."
The Tony Award-winning musical, with a cast of 26, features all the familiar songs that made the show a Broadway blockbuster: "High Flying, Adored," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and, of course, "Don't Cry for Me Argentina."
The show, with lyrics by Tim Rice, tells of how Eva Peron used her beauty and charisma to rise from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as first lady.
She became a champion for the poor and one of the most powerful women in the world. Her fragile health, however, would bring her short time of power to an end.
"I saw the 1979 Broadway production and it was just seminal in my life and career, and I thought it was such a fascinating story," Luftig said. "It's been one of those stories that always stayed with me."
When Luftig met with director Michael Grandage and Lloyd Webber, one question was prominent in everyone's mind, Luftig said:
"Why don't we try to rethink this production in a more authentic way?"
Lloyd Webber's music was re-orchestrated to give it more of a Latin feel.
"It's still the same songs but it sounds quite different from the 1979 score," Luftig said.
The staging also takes advantage of recent research into Eva's life. For instance, it's often assumed that Eva was merely using her husband Juan Peron to achieve power. But recent scholarship suggests the two possessed a deep passion for each other.
"Eva and Juan Peron's life together was a great love story," Luftig said. "A lot of people raise eyebrows when you say this. But off camera, they truly loved each other. And we try to include more of that emotional and sexual chemistry on stage."
The new staging opened in 2006 in London. The Broadway debut of the new production followed in 2012. The national Broadway tour began last year in July and continues through October. The staging includes "You Must Love Me," a song written by Lloyd Webber for the 1996 film of "Evita," which starred Madonna.
Eva is played in the tour by actress Caroline Bowman.
"It's a dream come true," Bowman said by phone during a tour stop in Atlanta. "It's an iconic character in musical theater and an iconic woman in history."

Gen. Michael Flynn's Son Is Still Pushing An Insane Conspiracy About The Clintons Running A Child Sex Ring Out Of A Pizza Joint
Andrew HusbandTwitterNews & Culture Writer
Following Sunday's shooting incident at the Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant in Washington D.C., the son of retired General Michael Flynn continued promoting the #Pizzagate conspiracy theory and related fake news story that allegedly inspired the gunman. Michael G. Flynn, whose father was named by President-elect Donald Trump as his National Security Advisor in November, began tweeting and retweeting links, images, and other non-credible materials suggesting the shooting had nothing to do with the insanity of #Pizzagate, which was embraced by critics of Hillary Clinton and, oddly, supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip. None of it makes sense.
According to Mediaite, Flynn's Twitter rant began with a false quote attributed to D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier, in which she allegedly claimed the shooting wasn't tied to the viral fake news stories regarding Comet Ping Pong — where associates of Hillary Clinton were accused of operating a pedophilia ring. (They didn't.) "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false," he suggested, "it'll remain a story."
Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it. https://t.co/8HA9y30Yfp
— Michael G Flynn?? (@mflynnJR) December 5, 2016
The younger Flynn, as well as several other self-identified pro-Trump and conservative Twitter accounts, have continued tweeting at and retweeting one another about the shooting and its supposedly falsified ties to #Pizzagate. Meanwhile, Gen. Flynn has yet to respond to either his son's online activities or Sunday's incident at the Comet Ping Pong pizza restaurant. Whether or not the Trump cabinet pick actually will remains highly unlikely, especially since his own tweeted support of the fake news story underpinning the #Pizzagate conspiracy has been well-documented.
CNN reports the shooter, a 28-year-old resident of Salisbury, North Carolina named Edgar Maddison Welch, revealed to the authorities "he came to the establishment to self-investigate" the conspiracy theory around Comet Ping Pong. Although he did fire several shots on the premises with a shotgun, no one inside or outside the restaurant was hurt.

DICT says SIM registration now at 11.2 million
Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) secretary Ivan John Uy announced on Wednesday, Jan. 4, that over 11 million SIMs have been registered with their respective telcos as of Jan. 2, based on information provided by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
Image from Freepik.com
In total, 11,219,722 SIMs were registered six days after the period for SIM Registration commenced on Dec. 27, 2022.
Smart Communications recorded the highest number with 5,172,061 SIMs registered. This is closely followed by Globe with 5,030,649 SIMs registered. Dito Telecommunity Corp. also reported 1,017,012 SIMs registered within its system.
Telcos like Smart, Globe, and Dito have provided procedures and guidelines for their registration processes, following the nationwide implementation of Republic Act (RA) 11934 or the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Act last December.
Uy emphasized that the law aims to regulate the issuance and use of SIMs, which are essential in operating mobile devices like mobile phones and pocket Wi-Fis. "This is expected to suppress the spread of spam texts and scams using mobile devices," he said.
The registration may be done online through the websites or applications launched by the telecommunications companies.
Meanwhile, the DICT and the NTC will be extending support to the telcos in facilitating registration in remote areas where Internet connectivity is limited or non-accessible.
Moreover, the DICT said it is encouraging subscribers to register early for a more convenient process, free from tight deadlines. The agency reminded subscribers that some difficulties and errors are expected to occur during the first days of the implementation while the providers fine-tune the implementation of the registration.
It also advised users to report any glitch or issues encountered immediately to the telcos or relevant government agencies to be addressed accordingly.
"We are optimistic through our vigilant enforcement of the provisions of the SIM Registration Act and with the faithful compliance of the private sector, we can ensure the safety of our citizenry, and aid our efforts in pushing for a digital Philippines. We encourage the public to participate and register so we can create a safer cyber community," Uy asserted.
For complaints and concerns related to SIM registration, users may contact the hotline 1326. They may also reach the DICT through these numbers:
Dito: 0991 481 4225
Smart, Globe report compliance of one-year validity of all prepaid load
Mislatel eyeing to build 10,000 cell towers within 7 years

AIDLR' Press Releases
Religious Liberty news
Secretary General' Articles
Dialogue Five
«In a world where societies are more and more diverse, tolerance is more likely to flourish when the human rights of all religious groups are respected and, similarly, human rights can thrive only if different groups are treated in the same way.»
H.E. Adama Dieng The United Nations Under-Secretary General, Special Adviser of the UN Secretary-General on Prevention of Genocide
"Diversity against radicalization by knowing each other better, inclusivity, education and cooperation of all actors", has been proposed by the AIDLR Secretary General at the United Nations in Vienna
Vienna, October 2017
The following comments were delivered by the Secretary General of the AIDLR, Dr. Liviu Olteanu, during the event organized on 12 October 2017 at Vienna International Centre, by the "Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO)" and in cooperation with the "United Nations Information Service (UNIS), Vienna", where the debate focused on "Diversity unites! - Governments and NGOs: Together against radicalization". Olteanu underlined that radicalization has different causes. Radicalization can be nurtured in the field of religion by extremist religious leaders and followers of one religion or belief; lack of inclusion programs for migrants and refugees; other causes might include treating the religious sentiments of others with a lack of respect; misinterpreting and (mis)use of the religion by populist and extremist politicians, and so on. The topic proposed is a very complex one. How can we fight against radicalization? The AIDLR Secretary General's proposal is: Diversity against radicalization by: knowing each other better, inclusivity, education and cooperation of all actors.
Though together we must condemn extremism, populism, radicalization and terrorism, it is not enough. The world today needs a new approach regarding how to (re)build diversity because diversity is a crucial factor for unity. This is something that is crucial for our society: If I do not know the ideas, emotions and hopes of another, I cannot know him, nor respect him. I cannot practice active tolerance towards him/her and I will project a false image of him/her that will prove unjust and oppressive. Tolerance is respect for diversity through our common humanity. The climate of tolerance starts through eliminating the factors that threaten peace and democracy, namely: prejudice, violence, xenophobia, racism, aggressive nationalism, extremism, violations of human rights, religious intolerance, terrorism and the growing gap between rich and poor countries.
OLTEANU believes that one of the great difficulties we can see at the beginning of the 21st Century, resides in reconciling cultural identity and respect for differences in a society where beliefs and cultures coexist. We need a positive practice of tolerance. Active tolerance requires the practice of recognition of others. We should consider religious diversity as useful for our times. Religious intolerance often leads to hatred, division and war. Religious people too often betray the noble ideals they themselves have preached. What is needed today, – according to Heiner BIELEFELDT- is a critical defense of universal human rights in a way that gives room for different cultural and religious interpretations. And according to Ahmed SHAHEED, the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, resilience against religious extremism can be built on strengthening diversity as well as freedom of religion or belief. The rights to freedom of religion or belief cannot be sacrificed in preventing or countering violent extremism.
To solve the issue of radicalization and extremism, the principal and necessary KEY IS EDUCATION, the training of all actors, and starting the education process by training the trainers. Who are these actors? Dr. Olteanu, the Secretary General of the AIDLR proposed for the first time in 2013 and stresses again and again today on the successful paradigm of the "Dialogue Five Framework": 1) Diplomats, 2) Politicians, 3) Religious leaders, 4) Educators, 5) Civil Society (Media, NGOs, Lawyers) that must work together at three levels: national, regional and international on common values, human rights and intercultural and interreligious dialogue. In particular special attention should be paid to the training of religious leaders on common values, pluralism, democracy and diversity against extremism and radicalization of their members.

Jamaican immigrant, naturalized American, lover of our national parks and public lands
Diverse Coalition Calls for New Vision in Conservation, Launches Petition
04/29/2016 02:21 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
The future of more than 600 million acres of prime lands that belong to the collective American citizenry got much brighter today, with policy recommendations submitted to President Obama and members of Congress on Capitol Hill yesterday. A coalition of diverse leaders from conservation, civil rights, environmental justice and community organizations used the upcoming Centennial of the National Park Service (August 25) to ask President Obama for a Presidential Proclamation announcing a new, inclusive vision of conservation for the next 100 years. In tribute to the democratic values represented by our public lands, the group has launched a petition at Change.org that enables the public to contact President Obama en masse to show their support.
A most beautiful sight - a park ranger leading a tour in Great Smoky Mountains National Park at sunset. Gatlinburg photo.
Keenly aware of the responsibility to future generations laid out by the founders of the National Park Service to "preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. . ." the coalition recognizes that cannot happen in the current system where the fastest growing demographic groups are unaware of public lands.
According to the US Census Bureau, by 2043 a majority of our country's residents will be people of color. Yet an Outdoor Foundation study found that 73 percent of Americans who participated in outdoor activities in 2014 were white. More than half of all American newborns are non-white, and by 2020, half of all youth will be of color.
Frank and I are proud to be part of this coalition led by Americans of African, Asian, Hispanic and Native descent with diverse areas of focus from outdoor recreation to climate change adaptation. Having worked alongside many of these leaders for more than two decades, it's hard to overlook the irony that the survival of our system may come from the actions of this demographic group whose interest in the outdoors and environment has long been dismissed as nonexistent.
Congressman Raul Grijalva speaking at the Press Conference ahead of, from left Maite Arce, Carolyn Finney, PhD and Mark Masaoka.
"The nation's changing demographics, coupled with the threats of climate change, increased energy development and partisan attacks on clean air, water and public lands, requires the urgent engagement of all Americans in the use and protection of the nation's national parks and other public lands..." reads the coalition's policy paper.
Leaders at the press conference launching the campaign on Capitol Hill Thursday included Maite Arce, President and CEO of the Hispanic Access Foundation ; Dr. Carolyn Finney, subject expert and a member of the National Parks Advisory Board; Mark Masaoka, Policy Director at the Asian Pacific Policy & Planning Council; Shanta Ready Alonso, Executive Director of Creation Justice Ministries; Mark Magana, President, Green Lations; veteran public lands manager Juan Palma; Silvia Perez-Rathell, Director of Corporate/Federal Relations at LULAC and Frank and me, founders of the Diverse Environmental Leaders Speakers Bureau.
Underscoring the urgent need for action were Members of Congress who have been spearheading the issue including Rep. Raul Grijalva, Ranking Member and Rep. Ruben Gallego of the House Natural Resources Committee; and Rep. Judy Chu, Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Congressman Alcee Hasting's office was represented by Policy Advisor Kevin Ashley, and Congressional Black Caucus' (CBC) Policy Director Kendra Brown stood in for CBC Chair G. K. Butterworth.
Clarence Fluker, Deputy Associate Director for National Parks and Youth Engagement for the White House Council on Environmental Quality keenly observed the proceedings, and Palomar Aguirre, a NOAA Fellow in Senator Corey Booker's office met with us to express the Senator's interest.
". . .we ask President Obama to issue a Presidential Memorandum on the Centennial of the National Park Service (August 25, 2016). . .This Executive Order should emphasize the need for the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to adopt guiding priorities for a more inclusive approach to conservation of our public lands including a full reflection of the faces of our country; a respect for different cultures, histories & approaches; and a responsibility to actively engage all people.
"In this directive, the President should also call for the appointment of an Action Committee/Ombudsperson across the land management agencies, which would oversee incorporation of these principles -- and accountability to the public in the management of America's system of public lands and waters. . ."
The Golden Gate National Recreation Area includes the Presidio of San Francisco where the African American Buffalo Soldiers were bivouacked at the turn of the 20th Century before riding off to protect Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks.
Hashtag for the campaign is #InclusiveVision4Next100. I am so happy to be part of it.
The turning point for our public lands that is under siege by some members of congress and development interests could depend upon the extent to which all those who care about the future make the decision to support the Change.org petition. Documents on the petition site lay out the issues and recommendations to correct them along with a list of coalition members.

Last day of September and the first day of the week-long national holiday. I was planning to go to Brent & Samantha's wedding in the Philipines, but that didn't work out. Then I was going to try visiting Adam in Thailand, but I think he's probably not there, or at least not answering his emails. In the end I decided to go to Hong Kong. It's just next-door and I should really see it properly before I go. Boat leaves on Monday.
In the meantime feeling a bit wiped. I should really eat more fruit.

Artworks are traps (Gell 2006)
GELL, Alfred. 2006. Vogel's net: traps as artworks and artworks as traps. In: Howard Morphy; Morgan Perkins (eds.). The Anthropology of Art: A Reader. Oxford: Blackwell, pp.219-35.
DANTO E A ANTROPOLOGIA DA ARTE:
Remember that Danto says that looking at a work of art is like encountering a person; one encounters a person as a thinking, co-present being by responding to his or her outward form ad behaviour – similarly one responds to an artwork as a co-present being, an embodied thought. (Gell 2006:226)
Do animal traps, in their bare, decontextualized presence, tell us no more than that human beings like to consume animal flesh? (Gell 2006:226)
Not designed to communicate or to function as a sign (in fact, designed to be hidden and escape notice), the trap nonetheless signifies far more intensely than most signs intended as such. The static violence of the tensed bow, the congealed malevolence of the arrangement of sticks and cords, are revelatory in themselves, without recourse to conventionalization. Since this is a sign that is not, officially, a sign at all, it escapes all censorship. We read in it the mind of its author and the fate of its victim. (Gell 2006:226)
ARMADILHAS SÃO HÍBRIDOS CAÇADOR-CAÇA (materialização da intenção do caçador e da disposição da presa num meio)
The arrow trap is particularly clearly a model of its creator, because it has to substitute for him. a surrogate hunter, it does its owner's hunting for him. It is, in fact, an automaton or robot, whose design epitomizes the design of its maker. It is equipped with a rudimentary sensory transducer (the cord, sensitive to the animal's touch). This afferent nervous system brings information to the automaton's central processor (the trigger mechanism, a switch, the basis of all information-processing devices) which activates the efferent system, releasing the energy stored in the bow, which propels the arrows, which produce action-at-a-distance (the victim's death). This is not just a model of a person, like any doll, but a 'working' model of a person. What carving, it is surely reasonable to ask, which only shows us our outward lineaments, actually reveals as much about human being as this mechanical device? Much more of what there actually is to a human being is present here than in any carving (Gell 2006:227)
Moreover, if we look at other traps, we are able to see that each is not only a model of its creator, a subsidiary self in the form of an automaton, but each is also a model of its victim. This model may actually reflect the outward form of the victim, as in the comical giraffe trap shown in figure 13.5, which delineates, in negative contour, the outlines of the lower half of a giraffe. Or the trap may, more subtly and abstractly, represent parameters of the animal's natural behaviour, which are subverted in order to entrap it. Traps are lethal parodies of the animal's Umwelt (figures 13.6, 13.7) Thus the rat that likes to poke around in narrow spaces has just such an attractive cavity prepared for its last, fateful foray into the dark (figure 13.6). Of course, it is not really the case that the trap is clever or deceitful; it is the hunter who knows the victim's habitual responses and is able to subvert them. But once the trap is in being, the hunter's skill and knowledge are truly located in the trap, in objectified form, otherwise the trap would not work. This objective knowledge would survive even the death of the hunter himself. It would also be (partially) 'readable' to others who had only the trap, and not the animal lore that was reflected in its design. From the form of the trap, the dispositions of the intended victim could be deduced. In this sense, traps can be regarded as texts on animal behaviour. (Gell 2006:227-8)
The trap is therefore both a model of its creator, the hunter, and a model of its victim, the prey animal. But more than this, the trap embodies a scenario, which is the dramatic nexus that binds these two protagonists together, and which aligns them in time and space. […] This time-structure opposes suspended time, the empty time of 'waiting', to the sudden catastrophe that ensues as the trap closes. (Gell 2006:228)
TRAPPING =/= CHASING:
The fact that animals who fall victim to traps have always brought about their downfall by their own actions, their own complacent self-confidence, ensures that trapping is a far more poetic and tragic form of hunting than the simple chase. […] The trapper is God, or the fates, the trapped animal is man in his tragic incarnation. (Gell 2006:228)
NEXUS OF INTENTIONALITIES
These devices embody ideas, convey meanings, because a trap, by its very nature, is a transformed representation of its maker, the hunter, and the prey animal, its victim, and of their mutual relationship, which, among hunting people, is a complex, quintessentially social one. That is to say, these traps communicate the idea of a nexus of intentionalities between hunters and prey animals, via material forms and mechanisms. (Gell 2006:228)
