Calculus is a concept store on Vancouver Island, a passion project of the Canadian born couple Graham & Ashleigh Newmarch.
Inspired by the live/work ateliers of its most admired designers, Calculus eschews the conventional structure of investor, creative director, buyer – and various associated staff.
Rather, all responsibilities at Calculus are handled by Graham & Ashleigh alone – resulting in a store whose concept, curation, and execution are an unfiltered distillation of their own distinctly romantic ethos.
Clients can shop at Calculus via their website, or in-person at their self-converted, c.1903 arts & crafts home-based showroom.
Launched in SS16, Calculus has just finished publishing their FW16 collections from Ann Demeulemeester, Forme D'Expression, Guidi, Jan-Jan Van Essche, Reinhard Plank, Rick Owens, DRKSHDW and Werkstatt:München.
Calculus is an unorthodox concept store on Vancouver Island, whose aim is to redefine its clientele's notion of value.

Volunteers to speak up for children in court
By Gary Huffenberger - [email protected]
From left, newly appointed Clinton County CASA Director Kim Vandervort and Clinton County Juvenile Court Judge Chad L. Carey talk about a leaflet Vandervort prepared for recruiting CASA (court appointed special advocate) volunteers.
WILMINGTON — The director of a new Clinton County CASA Program said court appointed special advocate (CASA) volunteers help judges make informed decisions about the future of abused or neglected children.
The information a special advocate presents to a judge can help ensure the court's decision is truly in the child's best interests, and is "not a decision made in the dark," said Clinton County CASA Director Kim Vandervort.
The volunteer interviews the parties in an abuse or neglect case, reviews records pertaining to the child such as school, medical and Children Services records, and provides an informed recommendation to the judge concerning the best interest of the child. Those options include foster care placement, parental supervision or adoption.
The CASA Program started after a 1977 Seattle case where a small child died — the victim of severe child abuse — after having been placed back in his home after a court hearing. Judge David Soukup, who made the decision, maintained that if he had received fuller information, the boy's death might have been prevented.
Soukup called upon community volunteers to assist the court through research and to represent the abused or neglected children's best interests as they go through the child welfare and court systems and hopefully land in safe and permanent homes.
Its reputation is such that, including the new Clinton County CASA, there are about 40 local CASA programs in Ohio.
Vandervort has been a court advocate for abused or neglected children for 19 years in Clinton County. In that capacity, she has been a "guardian ad litem" for almost 600 local children.
It will be her job to recruit, train and supervise the CASA volunteers.
Every CASA volunteer must pass a background check and take part in a minimum 30 hours of initial training, and then 12 hours of continuing education yearly. After the training is completed, the volunteer will be sworn in as an officer of the juvenile court and can then be appointed to a case and begin gathering useful information.
After the case is adjudicated, the CASA volunteer will check on the child monthly to make sure things are going all right, and then continue to monitor the case and report any concerns to the court, said Vandervort.
Clinton County Juvenile Court Judge Chad L. Carey said he is hoping the program attracts people who want to give time to the community for a "very, very good cause."
He also is pleased the program won't involve a cost to county taxpayers — Vandervort's salary and the training will be paid for through an initial two-year grant.
Carey added, "These Children Services cases are probably the most heart-wrenching cases on the judge's docket."
And Vandervort said, "These are truly our youngest victims; an abused or neglected child is a victim."
She said she will talk to clubs or organizations or individuals regarding the CASA Program. Vandervort can be reached at the CASA office at 937-383-1137.
An open house for the new program is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9 in the Juvenile Court courtroom on the second floor of the Clinton County Courthouse.
Reach Gary Huffenberger at 937-556-5768 or on Twitter @GHuffenberger.

Are We There Yet??: My Version of Sky Watch Friday!
I got a new cellphone awhile back and it's got a much better camera on it than my previous one so when there were some rather cool clouds floating over Norwich a few days back I thought I'd try taking a picture or two of them. This would be from the window at dispatch so it's by no means perfect but I thought it was kind of cool ... sort of ... maybe ... okay, so maybe not but really, they were cool clouds - honest!
Those came out pretty good. Cameras in phones keep getting better.
I love my camera phone. It doesn't take the best photos, but it's always there if I need one.
Nice photos, Linda! I don't think I have mastered my camera phone yet. Actually I know I haven't gotten the hang of it.
It confuses me. Somebody help.
I should take part in Sky Watch Friday. Looks fun.
I think they are awesome for a camera phone!!!

Virginia Elena Raggi (uitspr.: [virˈdʒinja ˈɛlena ˈraddʒi]; Rome, 18 juli 1978) is een Italiaanse advocaat en was van juni 2016 tot oktober 2021 de burgemeester van Rome. Raggi is lid van de anti-corruptiepartij MoVimento 5 Stelle (M5S). Met Raggi was voor het eerst een vrouw gekozen als burgemeester van Rome.

Biografie
Raggi werd geboren in de wijk Appio Latino in Rome. Ze studeerde rechten aan de Roma Tre-universiteit. Ze was lid van lokale wijkraden, voordat ze in 2014 lid werd van de Movimente 5 Stelle in het Romeinse district XIV. Raggi woont met haar echtgenoot en zoon in Rome.

Politiek
In de Romeinse gemeenteraadsverkiezingen in 2013 werd Raggi samen met vier andere partijleden gekozen in de gemeenteraad. Hoewel de gemeenteraad in Rome gewoonlijk vijf jaar aanblijft, werden er ditmaal eerder verkiezingen gehouden na het aftreden van burgemeester Ignazio Marino van de Democratische Partij. Marino trad af, nadat meer dan de helft van de gemeenteraadsleden was afgetreden. Raggi won de partijnominatie van M5S ten koste van Marcello De Vito, die in 2013 nog de kandidaat van M5S was voor de burgemeesterspost.

Op 5 juni 2016 werd Raggi na het behalen van meer dan 35 procent van de stemmen eerste tijdens de eerste ronde van de Romeinse burgemeestersverkiezingen. In de tweede ronde van de verkiezingen, op 19 juni 2016, stond zij tegenover Roberto Giachetti (Democratische Partij), de vicevoorzitter van de Kamer van Afgevaardigden. Raggi won deze tweede ronde met 67,2 procent van de stemmen en werd hierdoor de eerste vrouwelijke burgemeester van Rome.

Op 21 oktober 2021 werd ze als burgemeester van Rome opgevolgd door Roberto Gualtieri.

Q: CodeBlocks header common folder I have multiple projects which have the same header files over and over again, is it possible to create a common utils folder with all the headers and their source files?
Project files with header files

A: Yes, you can. First make a folder and insert all of your header file in that folder. then create a makefile and you can add that folder for  the headers in a Makefile. See here
Other option can be to give path in include like
#include "../Headers/check.h"
#include "../Headers/stackstring.h"

Q: understanding setInterval in javascript I have a function which does something async like saving to database. Want a mechanism that first inserts the row and the next insertion should occur only when the first insert operation has finished.
Here is what I have tried and it somewhat works.
var interval = true;
function insert() {
    model.save(function () {
        interval = true;
    })
}
foreach(row, function (key, val) {
    var interval1 = setInterval(function () {
        if (interval) {
            insert();
            interval = false;
            clearInterval(interval1);
        }
    }, 100)
})

Is it the correct approach of doing this? Please shed some light about my understanding of timers in javascript.

A: No, you should not be creating timers to poll for when something is done.  That's probably the worst way you can do it.  What you want to do is to explicitly start the next iteration each time the previous one finishes.
Here's the general idea for how you do this without polling.  The idea is that you need to create a function that can be called successive times and each time it's called, it will perform the next iteration.  You can then call that function from the completion handler of your async operation.  Since you don't have a nice convenient foreach loop to control the iteration, you then have to figure out what state variables you need to keep track of to guide each iteration.  If your data is an array, all you need is the index into the array.
function insertAll(rows) {

    // I'm assuming rows is an array of row items

    // index to keep track of where we are in the iteration
    var rowIndex = 0;

    function insert() {
        // keep going as long as we have more rows to process
        if (rowIndex < rows.length) {
            // get rows[rowIndex] data and do whatever you need to do with it

            // increment our rowIndex counter for the next iteration
            ++rowIndex;
            // save and when done, call the next insert
            model.save(insert)
        }
    }
    // start the first iteration
    insert();
}

If you don't have your data in an array that is easy to step through one at a time this way, then you can either fetch each next iteration of the data when needed (stopping when there is no more data) or you can collect all the data into an array before you start the operation and use the collected array.

A: No, this is absolutely not the right way to do this. Lets assume that row contains 10 values, then you are creating 10 independent timers which continuously run and check whether they can insert. And it's not even guaranteed that they are executed in the order they are created.
As jfriend00 already mentioned, you should omit the "loop" and make use of the completion callback of the save operation. Something like this:
var rows = [...];

function insert(rows, index) {
    index = index || 0;
    var current_element = rows[index];

    model.save(function() {
        if (index < rows.length - 1) {
            insert(rows, index + 1);
        }
    });
}

insert(rows);

Notice how the function calls itself (somehow) after the save operation is complete, increasing the index so the next element in the array is "saved".

A: I would use a library that handles async stuff such as async.js
BTW it seems like your model.save methods takes a callback, which you can use directly to call the insert method. And if the insert function is one you have made by yourself, and not a part of some bigger framework, I will suggest to re-write it and make take a callback as parameter, and use that instead of using setInterval for checking when async work is done.

Clear guidance on the level of environmental risk associated with the property and the likelihood of the property being described as contaminated. Contaminated land could not only endanger health, but could also limit the use of land, cause corrosion and subsidence, and reduce the value of the land.
Historical and current industrial activities and past waste disposal practices such as gas works, chemical works and landfill sites.
Previous use of a site can be an issue for the homebuyer, particularly the liability of removing any hazardous waste. Knowing what the land has been used for previously can help ascertain the likelihood of contamination.
Provides reassurance that discharge of dangerous substances is controlled.
Confirmation of whether the property is in or close to a radon gas affected area.
Gives guidance on the likelihood of the property being denied for contaminated land insurance.
Comprehensive information on surface water, groundwater, river and coastal flooding. Flooding can significantly impact the enjoyment and value of a property, so the inclusion of flood risk in this report provides a valuable indicator of likely flood risk.
Any historical flood events. It is useful for potential homebuyers to understand past flooding events to enable an assessment to be made of the likely risk.
Information on any local flood storage areas and the distance from the property. It is essential to know if flood defences are present close to the property as these areas would flood without the defence present.


I didn't get to ride Batman & Robin when it initially opened. I was in the anti-coaster phase of my life and it intimidated the hell out of me (I was 12 or 13). Regardless, I was still intrigued by it, being a huge fan of the Batman films. I still wanted to experience it, eventually. Finally in 2002, I gained enough courage and got on. Unfortunately by that time the Batman side was almost always down. I visited Six Flags every year (primarily during their Fright Fest event) and don't remember ever seeing that side functional.
Now onto the actual ride experience. Both sides start by launching you at 65 mph, not in an uphill incline like most coasters. This was the only jarring part of the ride because I remember the restraints being clunky and giving me a massive headache. After a bunch of loops and flips you're led to a dead end incline. The coaster then rolls back and you experience the entire attraction again, but this time backwards. That was my favorite part.
The attraction experienced several maintenance issues until its close in 2007. It was eventually torn down to make room for another Batman-themed ride, The Dark Knight. Most of my memories of Batman & Robin: The Chiller are on the negative side. I remember my mother and other friends calling it the "headache" roller coaster and preferring the original Batman coaster (which is still standing today) over it. I always thought it was a great looking ride and had a "wow" factor, but usually after riding it, I wouldn't want to get on anything else the rest of the day because I was a bit shaken up. Another retired coaster at Great Adventure had that reputation (I'll probably visit it in the future.) The Dark Knight Coaster which took its place is a completely different monster altogether. Unlike its predecessor, this coaster is an indoor mouse coaster. The building itself is about half the size of B&R and is more theatrical than a conventional coaster. I'm guessing Great Adventure wanted to create more of an experience instead of a succession of thrills. There is a pre-show video and a ton of Batman/Joker related set design on the actual ride. The Dark Knight is also way more suitable for younger park visitors. Overall I wasn't a massive fan of B&R the few times I was able to ride it. Again my judgement is solely on me riding the Robin side. Maybe the Batman side was a completely awesome experience. I'll never know.


Back in 1954, the original Television Act – killed in spirit by that bug-bear of British television, the 1990 Broadcasting Act – hypothesised that commercial television could not only have the quality of licence-funded programming, but even surpass the output from the BBC. Capitalist broadcasting could bring innovation where previously there had been the dead hand of a monopoly.
New programming ideas, new presentation standards, even new personalities could be spring forth from a public service commercial network. In practice the competition between the BBC's and the ITA's services meant that they were both forced to be innovative. New ideas came from the duopoly in an effort to out do each other, and the best ideas would be adopted by both, helping to ensure that Britain had "the least worst" television in the world.
Therefore, when the IBA announced a new franchise – to cover the morning 'off period' where few companies had ever dared to make a stand and none had succeeded – the BBC moved fast to produce a rival. The two services, BBC Breakfast Time and TV-am went head to head in the midst of the fiercest recession in the UK since the Great Depression.
Needless to say, the BBC service seemed to win the battle. As TV-am found itself without advertisers but with more debt than it could handle, the scene seemed set – Breakfast Time would be left on its own, and the IBA would have its first bankrupt station since little Wales (West and North) Television in 1964.
So TV-am took an obvious path. It plunged down market, at a pace and with a naked intent that surprised both the viewers and the media hacks waiting to pick through the rubble of Eggcup House. The BBC was left standing, unable to get as low as TV-am, losing viewers to the determinedly populist opposition. Breakfast Time died, reborn as BBC Breakfast News as the BBC retreated back to what it knew best.
TV-am had won the hearts and minds of the morning television viewer, and the morning television advertiser, with a mixture of bright graphics, fluffy human-interest stories and bingo. When Bruce Gyngell arrived on the scene, he took the station upmarket slightly, jettisoning the baggage of his predecessor – ironically, the now-Director General of the BBC, Greg Dyke.
The populist mix of chat, star interviews, soft stories, soap gossip and, most importantly perhaps, the trouncing of the BBC, had given TV-am a fan who sat regally above the rest of the viewing population – a housewife from Grantham who controlled, ultimately, the fate of quality British television along with the rest of British life, and who was intent on changing both. The woman was Mrs Thatcher, the British Prime Minister, and she was TV-am's greatest supporter.
The much remarked-upon irony, that it was she who caused the station's demise, is now a cliché that broadcasting historians have been commenting on since the fateful day that the new regulator's fax arrived at Camden Lock, and will continue to do so for many more years.
Bruce Gyngell had tried to retain his station's franchise by playing fair. He bid what the franchise was worth. He promised only what he felt they could deliver. He even employed feng shui techniques in the station's offices in an effort to attract luck. But the new system was against TV-am for many reasons. The new system, above all, was not fair and playing fair would not work.
Gyngell called a press conference after the announcement. At the conference he produced a hand-written letter from a former Prime Minister. In it, the politician expressed regret for setting in process a chain of events that was designed to replace ITV with stations like TV-am but had in fact replaced TV-am with a station that aspired to be more like BBC Breakfast News.
Never before had this woman apologised for one of her policies. She did so for TV-am, but only after she had lost the power to stop what she had started two years before.
Violence – what is the truth?
After the horse has bolted?


Today we're going to be looking at what I consider to be the most fascinating mythology (that isn't Norse mythology, because Ragnarok is completely badass)- Gnosticism, and how it relates to the Self. While there are a number of fatal objections I have with the Gnostic philosophies, it has a number of really fascinating ideas and gorgeous imagery that can be taken away and turned into something useful. The name Gnosticism comes from the Greek word gnosis, which means knowledge," and the religion is based around the attainment of the true gnosis, which we'll explore in more detail. First, however, we need to start with the Gnostic creation story.
Gnosticism begins with their idea of God, usually called the Monad (meaning the One). Some of the other names used are Aion Teleos ("The Perfect Aeon"), He Arche ("The Beginning"), and the Absolute. This Monad is the highest of all things, comparable to the Kabbalah's Ein Sof ("unending/infinite"), the Hindu Brahman (something like "the unchanging reality in and beyond the world") and Atman (the true essence of the individual, very similar to my use of True Self), the Logos, the Apeiron (lit. "boundless"), and so on.
The Monad "resides" in what is called the Pleroma (lit. "fullness"), the pleroma is meant to convey the totality of God, the divine completion, etc. The idea of the pleroma is essentially like the "ideal realm" that supersedes reality, which our world, the Kenoma (lit. "emptiness") is a pale echo of. Now, the Monad, in its pleroma, emanates (from Latin emanare, lit. "to flow or pour forth from") increasingly lower levels of reality, all guided from the divine principle of the Logos.
These emanations take the form of aeons, paired as syzygys. Depending on the different system of Gnosticism, they're named and ordered differently, but they represent dualistic concepts representing the nature of the higher realities. I won't go through all of them, but we'll touch on some of the important ones.
The highest syzygy is comprised of the aeon Bythos (lit. "depth/profundity") who conceives of either Sige or Ennoia (lit. "silence" and "idea," respectively) within itself, forming the first pair. From this is emanated the next syzygy of Nous (lit. "mind") and Aletheia (lit. "unconcealedness," used as Truth [which I expand on here]), and from that syzygy comes the aeons of Logos (lit. "word" or "reason") and Zoe (lit. "life). The rest of the syzygys and their respective aeons aren't as interesting, and there are 30 total, so far too many to cover here, except for the very last one.
The lowest of all the emanations is Sophia (lit. "Wisdom," where we get the word philosophy, "philo-sophia" or "love of wisdom"). Sophia falls (in the same sense of the fall of Man from Eden) from the Pleroma, although what exactly causes this fall changes with each Gnostic school. Carl Jung considered Sophia to be the highest form of the Anima (the unconscious feminine) archetype. She falls because of some mistake or failing, and one of the results of this is that she ends up emanating without her partner in syzygy.
What ends up being created from this imperfect emanation is called the Demiurge.
Sophia is ashamed of what she has created, so she conceals the Demiurge in a cloud where no one can see. Because of this concealment, the Demiurge is ignorant to Sophia and the higher levels of reality, and thus considers himself to be the God of the World. He begins to create a world that (unconsciously) is a recreation of the higher reality of the pleroma, and thus we have the material world of Man. In a sense, we could say that the Monad is the true God of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH, more commonly Yahweh), and the Demiurge is Jehova, or the God we see in the Old Testament.
Because the Demiurge has a portion of the Divine Spark (a shard of God that all things possess), Man also possesses this Spark within him. This Spark yearns to be reunited with the pleroma and escape the flawed material world of the Demiurge, which is the fallen world we inhabit. The Demiurge is known by several names, most commonly Yaldabaoth (could mean "Son of Chaos," but this is disputed), but also Samael ("Blind God" in Hebrew) and Ariel ("Lion of God" in Hebrew, considered his "perfect" name).
The idea here is essentially that the Demiurge goes about creating the world in the way that we're familiar with in Genesis, but because of his flawed nature, Man is also doomed to be flawed. This is all because Sophia didn't wait for her complementary aeon- Christ.
This is a different concept than the traditional Christian idea of Christ, however. Christ, here, is a perfect divine being sent from the higher realm of the pleroma to mend Sophia's relationship with the Light and bring knowledge of the pneuma (lit. "spirit"), and who enters our world, the kenoma, to teach people how to achieve gnosis and return to the world of spirit.
A symbolic depiction of gnosis as seeing beyond the realm of the Demiurge.
This is the first major thing I really love about Gnosticism (and very similar to the Hindu and Buddhist notions of enlightenment)- the idea that achieving a state of gnosis (knowledge) is the highest goal, and that through the attainment of this goal, salvation is reached. Obviously, I don't support the vast supernatural cosmogony that I've laid out, but you should know by now that these stories are generally symbolic of an internal process or a metaphorical understanding of things.
Now, because Gnosticism is a number of different schools, what I've laid out here isn't necessarily accurate to all the schools or to any one in particular. What I've tried to do here is to make a simplified, coherent narrative that I can use to explain a deeper idea, and that's what we're going to get into.
I really like the notion of the Monad. As I briefly touched on, I consider the Hindu idea of the Atman (something like the idea of the Divine Spark) to be roughly equivalent to my conception of the True Self. In Hinduism, liberation (enlightenment) is attained by realizing (through gnosis) that the Atman (Divine Spark) is the same as the Brahman (Monad), and that is more or less equivalent to the way I see it.
However, this brings me to my first massive objection to Gnosticism- the notion that the world is inherently evil and ruled by an evil deity that is ignorant of the higher reality. This is a philosophical objection, because my philosophy is not built around the idea of denying or escaping reality (that means you, Buddhism). That being said, this is actually a really interesting and useful perspective from a metaphorical standpoint- we have to imagine the Demiurge within ourselves.
In this metaphor, the Monad is the True Self, the pure consciousness that is the core reality of being, the "I Am that I Am," the quality of "is-ness" and "divine spark" that all people possess. This comes from the depth or profound nature (Bythos) of being from which silence and idea emerge within. You can actually think of silence and idea as the two opposite basic states within one's own mind- and the next syzygy emanated is, of course, comprised of mind (Nous) and Truth (Aletheia).
The interesting bit about these increasingly emanated syzygies is that they both echo a kind of progression of emerging phenomena and also outline a ladder to go from our less-conscious reality to approach the highest realization of the True Self.
We come to the bottom, which is wisdom (Sophia). Wisdom tries to create without its partner, which is the embodiment of the divine principle (Christ, the Logos), and because of this, it creates something that doesn't know about the higher levels.
This lower level created is the undifferentiated self (a person's identity before they develop an understanding of the petty ego, Ego Proper, and the True Self), which is also a primary identification with both parts of the ego.
What this means is that because a person has "wisdom" but has not achieved an embodiment of the Logos (some people use the phrase "Christ-consciousness," but I feel that's a loaded term and not very specific) through the knowledge of the Self, they have a false understanding of who they are. This identity created from this ignorance is fundamentally flawed, and it will result in suffering (i.e., the fallen nature of the world).
This metaphorical concept is why I like Gnosticism so much. They've created such a rich and detailed symbolic language for the discussion of the Self and the world, and it can be used to paint a lot of fairly complex pictures, as I'm sure you can see from this article.
The big takeaway here is the concept of the Demiurge. While you identify solely with your ego, you are the Demiurge- the thing that doesn't know about the True Self, the ignorant person who will fundamentally misunderstand reality as a result. What is required is for us to kill the Demiurge within ourselves, free the Divine Spark within us (Sophia, wisdom, the impulse that pushes us to question things), and reunite that spark with the Monad (change our identification from the ego to the True Self), at which point we become the Logosome, or the vessel of Reason in the world, having conquered ignorance.
I know this was a very dense article, but what I'm trying to to do is start to break down some of these very abstract concepts for later discussion and simplification. If you've made it this far, excellent work, you're well on the way to gnosis yourself. If I've been confusing, or if I haven't explained something properly, let me know and I'll try to expand on what I've started here.
Go forth and seek gnosis, and kill the Demiurge within yourself.


WASHINGTON, DC — The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) will honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in neuroscience during Neuroscience 2017, SfN's annual meeting and the world's largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
The 2017 Grafstein Award winner, Pamela L. Mellon, PhD, is vice chair for research in the Department of Reproductive Medicine; distinguished professor in the Departments of Reproductive Medicine and Neurosciences; and director of the Center for Reproductive Science and Medicine at the University of California, San Diego's School of Medicine. She has successfully trained and mentored more than 200 faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students.
World-renowned in the field of molecular endocrinology, specifically in neuroendocrine control of reproduction, Mellon has welcomed to her lab students and early-career neuroscientists from a cross-section of disciplines. Her long-standing commitment to mentoring women has been previously recognized with the Mentor Award for Excellence in Research Training from the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, and the Women in Endocrinology Mentor Award.
The Louise Hanson Marshall Special Recognition Award honors an individual who has significantly promoted the professional development of women in neuroscience through teaching, organizational leadership, public advocacy, or other efforts not necessarily research-related and includes complimentary registration and travel to SfN's annual meeting.
Anne Churchland, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at Stony Brook University, will receive this year's award. At Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Churchland investigates the neural circuits underlying decision-making, with a focus on the parietal cortex and how neural responses drive behavior. Among her many accomplishments, Churchland created anneslist, a directory of female scientists in systems and computational neuroscience, and co-founded a National Science Foundation undergraduate travel program that pairs promising undergraduates with mentors at the annual Computational and Systems Neuroscience conference.
"My goal is to develop and support programs that level the playing field in science. My vision for the future of neuroscience is that all qualified, talented scientists will be welcomed and nurtured so that they can contribute to our growing understanding of brain function," Churchland said.
The Mika Salpeter Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated outstanding career achievements in neuroscience and who has significantly promoted the professional advancement of women in neuroscience. The award includes a $5,000 prize as well as complimentary registration and travel to SfN's annual meeting.
The 2017 award winner, Carol Ann Mason, PhD, is professor of pathology and cell biology, neuroscience, and ophthalmic science at Columbia University, where she has served on the faculty for 30 years. Mason is an SfN past president and an internationally recognized developmental neuroscientist who has published more than 100 papers in leading academic journals.
Considered one of the world's leading authorities on the development of the mammalian visual system and cerebellum, Mason is investigating the role of transcriptional regulators and guidance mechanisms that determine how these connections are formed. Mason has trained and mentored more than 30 graduate and postdoctoral neuroscientists, many of whom are women who have gone on to lead their own labs in the U.S. and internationally. At Columbia, she has served as a co-director of the graduate program in Neurobiology and Behavior, and the Vision Sciences Training Program. Mason is currently chair of Interschool Planning, in the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute. She has also served on SfN's Women in Neuroscience Subcommittee and Council.
The Patricia Goldman-Rakic Hall of Honor posthumously recognizes a neuroscientist who pursued career excellence and exhibited dedication to the advancement of women in neuroscience. The family of the honoree receives complimentary registration and transportation to the SfN annual meeting and an engraved Tiffany & Co. crystal bowl.
The late Nancy Rutledge Zahniser, PhD, was an accomplished neuroscientist in the fields of neuropharmacology and neurophysiology who was highly regarded for her important research, effective mentoring, and service to the scientific community. She served as both vice chair and acting chair of the Department of Pharmacology, associate dean for the Department of Research and Education, and professor of pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Her research contributed to the understanding of dopamine function in the brain, which plays a role in diseases including Parkinson's and schizophrenia and in addiction to drugs including amphetamine and cocaine.
Exceptionally active in her support of the development of her mentees' research interests and the cultivation of women in neuroscience, Zahniser mentored more than 30 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, who looked to her for her positivity, collaborative skills, and ability to bring out the best in her mentees. Zahniser directed a postdoctoral training grant funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a graduate student pharmacology training grant funded by the National Institute of General Medicine Sciences, and a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Program for underrepresented students supported by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. In addition, she served on National Institutes of Health Study Sections,on review panels for both NIH and the National Science Foundation, and on the editorial boards of Pharmacological Communications, CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics, and SfN's JNeurosci.
Zahniser passed away in 2016 from neurogliobastoma. In honor of her scientific contributions and dedication to the future of the field, a memorial fund has been endowed in her name to fund the Nancy Rutledge Zahniser Trainee Professional Development Awards, which will help up to five trainees each year to attend SfN's annual meeting.

Home»Draftcross»Prince
Prince is your dream come true type of horse! He is the perfect age at 10 and a registered shire/gypsy cross. He is fancy broke to both ride and drive! He is 16.2 hands tall. Built thick and made to last. He has a size 8 foot and is very kind and easy for the farrier! Prince has been hauled all over. He drives in town. Rides in parades. Goes to a completely new place and rides like a dreamboat for everyone from models to kids. He will ride in a bosal/halter, plain snaffle, or a curb bit. He is not fussy and is broke enough to take anything thrown at him. He does not spook at traffic, horses running around him, tarps, flags, or even blow up costumes that make noise. He is the most sensible, kind, and friendly draft gelding we have had the pleasure to have in our barn. If I could keep one, this would be the one to keep! Prince is broke to drive single, double, and three abreast. We do not have the equipment to do anything but drive him single but can send additional video of him driving double and three abreast. He is fancy broke and the least experienced driver could handle him with ease. As a riding companion, Prince will ride both English and western. He is easy to push forward into a trot or lope and he has both a very smooth slow trot and a rocking chair lope. He is easy both for adults and children and very forgiving of beginners. He will pop over cross rails and ride through water. This gelding doesn't have anything he refuses and is game for whatever has been presented to him. He loves the attention and is happy to be ridden around, groomed on, or anything else you can think of…just give him attention! He is the first to greet you from pasture and will run across to you for scratches and cookies. Prince will stand still and quietly at the mounting block both to mount and dismount; he will even side pass to help you get on. He has had ropes swung off him and ridden around cows. Not much of a cowhorse due to his thunderous size, but he's game if you want to try it! Prince is the type everyone wants. He's gentle. He's easy. And he loves to do anything asked of him. He is current on farrier, dental, coggins, and has a recent vetting on file. We can help arrange shipping anywhere around the country. Call to see him and add your next partner to your family!

An outstanding opportunity for adults who value the importance of reading can be found in the Read Aloud Baldwin nonprofit organization. This September, Read Aloud Baldwin will begin its sixth year reading to the young children in the Baldwin County Head Start centers in Fairhope, Magnolia Springs and Hurricane.
Our volunteers read one-on-one with 3-year-olds to 5-year-olds during the school year and each person is committed to the fact that reading aloud to young children is essential to developing a love of books and the desire to learn to read. Reading aloud to young children develops vocabulary, active listening, comprehension, and attention span — the building blocks of school success.
Read Aloud Baldwin is a volunteer driven organization with readers whose contributions go a long way to help fulfill its mission of sharing the joy of reading with young children in Baldwin County Head Start Centers. As a volunteer reader you are demonstrating how to read; how much fun it is to read; and you are helping young children increase their vocabulary.
The beginning of each new school year brings the challenge of identifying new volunteers to join our wonderful group of volunteer readers. Each reader commits to 1 hour, once a week to read with the same children at one of the three Head Start Centers. Each volunteer is assigned to one of the centers and reads on the same day each week allowing this volunteer opportunity to easily become a weekly activity for the volunteers.
Read Aloud Baldwin provides each reader with a special RAB book bag filled with books appropriate for sharing with young children. The program also provides information on how to effectively read aloud with children.
Individuals interested in learning more about the program can contact program coordinator, Ms. Randal Wright at readaloudbaldwin@gmail.com or 251-210-6790. You can also communicate with us through our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/readaloudbaldwin.

As their name suggests, snow tires are better suited to icy conditions. This is because the tires stay soft during low temperatures, allowing for a solid grip on icy roads.
Yes. If your tires are not properly inflated, they do not roll as easily. This means that the engine has to work harder and thus consume more fuel.
These are tires which are designed for optimum performance and handling as they feature wide tread and short sidewalls.
As their name suggests, these tires are designed for use throughout the year. These are the standard tires on most vehicles.
There are a number of great tire manufacturers in the USA. Popular brands include Goodyear and BFGoodrich.
These are tires which are optimized for off-road driving as they feature reinforced sidewalls and open-tread patterns.
The steel studs in this type of winter tire allow for better driving on icy roads. They also offer superior traction on hard-packed ice and mud in extreme climates.
In most cases, secondhand tires are a cheap and safe alternative to new tires. However, you should take extra care when inspecting used or partly used tires. Look out for lumps and cuts.


The best thing about antique jewellery is it's still very wearable which makes it something beneficial alongside beautiful to collect. Many people collect antique jewellery due to its beauty, rarity and historical characteristics and if you are a jewellery fan it is certainly something you should consider investing in and adding to your collection. Antiques tend to be old and fragile objects which are bought for the purpose of looking great in the home, however the fact antique jewellery still has many years of wear left if it has been maintained well is something beautiful in itself and a great way of showing off your new investment as well as admiring it yourself.
The beauty of antique jewellery comes from its unique characteristics which are never seen in jewellery manufactured today. Each antique piece from many different eras were crafter to a high standard with techniques no longer used, and the intricacy and detail of each piece creates something beautiful to be cherished for a lifetime. Not only does the detail add to its beauty but also its quality as antique jewellery is hard wearing and long lasting. Each piece has already lived through many lifetimes and can be worn and admired for many more if looked after and maintained well, so it is certainly an investment for the future which many people like to keep within the family and pass down through generations.
Each piece of antique jewellery is around 100 years old or more which means it is very unlikely you will come across another piece like it. Having a piece which is unique to you adds a personal aspect to the piece and makes it more special. Modern high street jewellery is often manufactured in bulk and the little intricacies and details are forgotten about to save money. Simplistic modern jewellery can be beautiful for certain occasions and day wear, however antique jewellery is definitely the option to catch people's eye. Although antique jewellery is more of a statement style than modern jewellery today there is no reason why you can't show off your beautiful pieces in the day. Adding antique jewellery to any outfit gives it that perfect finishing touch and will draw all the right attention, and once you have found the perfect piece you will be proud to show it off.
The best thing about shopping for antique jewellery online is finding the perfect pieces for you and falling in love with the different eras as well as browsing the many different dealers. There are many different styles and eras to choose from when it comes to shopping for antique jewellery, and although it may seem daunting at first there is a whole new world of jewellery to discover. In terms of our favourite antique jewellery dealers? That award has to go to www.antiquejewelleryonline.co.uk or www.antiqueringsonline.co.uk, easily!
The only thing to look out for when buying antique pieces is reproduced jewellery. Many manufacturers have discovered the antique and vintage style sells well therefore there are many reproduced pieces around. Although the majority of reproduced pieces look antique, you won't get the quality and beauty of a true antique piece so don't be drawn in by the cheaper price tag. There are many benefits of antique pieces and making the investment is worth it, so get searching for your perfect antique piece today to see what you've been missing out on.

This Day in New York Yankees History 6/19: AROD3K
Congratulations went out to Alex Rodriguez on this day in 2015 as the Yankees designated hitter hit his 3,000th hit of his major league career. In the first inning Rodriguez stepped up to the plate against the Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander and clobbered an opposite field home run to right field for the historic hit. Alex became just the third player in the history of the game to hit a home run for his 3000th hit joining Wade Boggs (Tampa Bay Rays) and Derek Jeter (New York Yankees) all-time. Congratulations once again to A Rod from all Yankees fans and from everyone here at The Greedy Pinstripes.
Also on this day in 1950 Joe DiMaggio had a two hit day and collected his 2,000th hit of his career. DiMaggio had an RBI single in the third inning and had another RBI single in the seventh inning to reach the milestone. The Yankees would beat the Indians 8-2 in DiMaggio's 1,537th game of his career.
For all the fans growing up in my generation to have a three strikeout game for a batter is something that happens once or twice a week, but it didn't happen all that much by Joe DiMaggio. On this day in 1942 DiMaggio struck out three times in a game for the first and only time in his 1,787 game career. The Indians Mel Harder is the pitcher that will forever go down in history in a 5-4 victory for Cleveland at Cleveland Stadium.
Also on this day in 1921 Babe Ruth vaulted himself into second place on the career list for home runs. Ruth would hit his 127th home run helping the Yankees beat the Red Sox in Fenway Park 7-6 in 10 innings. Ruth would pass Sam Thompson on the All-Time list and would find himself just 11 home runs away from the All-Time record holder Roger Connor.

House Democrat Demands A Meeting With Wells Fargo Executives
Posted on March 20, 2017 March 19, 2017 11:02 pm
Executives at Wells Fargo may soon face an interview with the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.
Reuters reported that Maxine Waters of California, the House Financial Services ranking member, sent a letter requesting that Wells Fargo CEO Timothy Sloan and other senior officials at the company provide answers to questions concerning the bank's big fake accounts scandal last year.
"I reiterate my request that Wells Fargo provide Democratic Committee staff the same opportunity it provided to Republican Committee staff to meet with the aforementioned executives for unrecorded interviews," Waters wrote.
"Scheduling these interviews would be a small step in reassuring me and my staff that Wells Fargo is sincere when it says it wants to 'make things right' for its customers."
It's clear the consequences of the bank's scandal aren't going away any time soon.
Last year it was revealed that bank employees opened 1,534,280 unauthorized deposit accounts, allowing Wells Fargo to accrue a total of $2 million in fees. The fake accounts scandal led to the firing of thousands of employees and also resulted in $185 million in fines for the company.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing earlier this month, Wells Fargo said that its legal fees for 2016 may have been $1.8 billion, which is $100 million more than the bank previously forecasted.
According to a report highlighting the SEC filing, three months ago, Wells Fargo said the fees would be $100 million less than what it is now saying. The bank also disclosed that the Department of Justice is looking into an incident in which Wells Fargo's software was used in deals outside of the U.S., which are banned in America.
Wells Fargo said it "self-identified" the issue and that it is cooperating with the Department of Justice. The bank also warned there could be more customers who are impacted by the fake account opening scandal, but said it doesn't expect a big financial hit as a result.

We asked experts to share the best way to clean white shoes.
Over the years, white shoes have become a wardrobe staple for both men and women. These versatile kicks pair as seamlessly with a tee and denim as they do with dresses, and add a sporty vibe to any outfit. The one downside? White shoes show every scrape, scratch, and bump, and keeping them bright white can be a challenge. How do you even begin to clean white shoes—whether they're made of a cloth material like canvas, smooth leather, or suede?
While you might loathe hand-washing your clothes, this is the best way to care for your shoes. Whatever you do, don't put shoes or sneakers in a washing machine. "The rough-and-tumble can not only damage your washing machine drum, but it can also damage your shoes and, in some cases, make stains even worse," says Sean Perry, founder of the London-based cleaning company Neat Services.
Bleach also might seem like a no-brainer for maintaining white kicks, but it can be too strong even when diluted, Perry says. Plus, bleach can ruin your shoes, clothes, and floors if you accidentally spill it. His advice? Enlist the help of gentler products like baking soda, white vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide.
Believe it or not, white toothpaste (we like this one) is another affordable household product that can help whiten spots on sneakers, says Marieta Ivanova, a cleaning and home improvement expert for Fantastic Cleaners Brisbane. Just make sure the toothpaste is a cream formula (as opposed to a gel) and doesn't contain micro-cleansing crystals or other small particles that could damage the fabric. To use, wet your shoes and apply toothpaste in a circular motion with a clean brush. After, allow shoes to dry and remove the paste with wipes or a wet rag.
Whether they're canvas, leather, or suede (or you just want to whiten stained laces or yellow midsoles), here are expert-backed strategies to clean your white shoes.
Jennifer Gregory, a brand manager for the Neighborly company Molly Maid, recommends filling a bucket with one gallon of water, one cup baking soda, and a drop of laundry detergent to clean and whiten canvas shoes. Remove your shoelaces and soak both the shoes and laces in the solution for an hour. Next, use a cleaning brush (or toothbrush!) to scrub the interior and exterior of your shoes to help eliminate stains and odor. Finally, rinse shoes thoroughly and allow them to air-dry before lacing them back up.
Trying to salvage a pair of white leather kicks? Use a cleaning wipe like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser ($14 for 8; amazon.com) to help remove surface stains, says Dave Bowden, founder of the style blog Irreverent Gent. Go over the shoe slowly and thoroughly, wiping in circles then following the length of the shoe from toe to heel. Next, use a separate wipe to go over the sole. If you're finding scratches in the leather, try covering them with white nail polish, he suggests.
Clean suede shoes at home by using a suede and nubuck cleaning kit ($14 for 3; amazon.com) or a premium suede shoe cleaner ($45; amazon.com) to gently remove stains from the delicate fabric, says Jennifer Rodriguez, chief hygiene officer at Pro Housekeepers. Another tip? You can use the inner part of a hard, old piece of bread as an eraser, Rodriguez adds. "The porous surface can easily remove dirt while not damaging the shoes."
To keep white athletic sneakers looking fresh, clean them with wet wipes ($10; amazon.com) every time you wear them, which will help prevent dirt and dust from accumulating. If they're already slightly discolored, wipe them with baby wipes, rub the fabric gently with lemon juice ($10 for 2; amazon.com), and let them air-dry, say the experts at Top Cleaners. You can also soak them in a cleaning solution like Vanish ($18; amazon.com) for about 20 minutes before hand-washing.
You can whiten dingy, yellowed midsoles with a lightening hair product like SalonCare 40 ($9; amazon.com), says Gigi Rodgers, a sneaker artist who works to renovate shoes. Tap the cream onto the midsole of the shoe generously with a brush, and then cover the treated area with plastic wrap. Place the sneaker near a sunny window to air-dry, letting it sit for a few hours or until the next morning. Remove the plastic, rinse off the formula, and dry with a spare towel.
If white nail polish isn't concealing scratches on white shoes, Rodgers recommends taking a small piece of sandpaper that's 600-grade or higher (she uses 1500-grade sandpaper) and rubbing it over the scratch on the leather shoe until smooth. Clean the scratched area with a cotton ball and nail polish remover or 100% acetone ($3; amazon.com), which will remove the factory finish on the sneaker (it's what you want—don't panic!). Grab a bottle of Angelus Sneaker Leather Paint in white ($8; amazon.com) and a paint brush and apply multiple thin coats until you can't see the scratch anymore.
To clean white shoelaces, remove them and place in a sink filled with hot, soapy water and a little OxiClean Stain Remover ($13; amazon.com), says Donna Smallin Kuper, a professional organizer and cleaning expert. Allow the laces to soak for at least 30 minutes and then rub them together to loosen any dirt. Finally, rinse and let air-dry or toss in with a load of white laundry.


1. Be prepared: Conceptualise and write down notes to give yourself a brief overview of the main objectives you want to deliver. This will calm the nerves and get you back on track if your mind draws a blank during the meeting/presentation. It is also very important to actively rehearse too. It is the practical rehearsal that will give you the edge and make you aware of any nervous habits you might have including playing with your clothes or biting your lip.
2. Check the tech: Make sure that your technology is up to the task ahead of presenting/ a meeting. Ensure your equipment is as prepared as you are!
3. Activate your conversations: Ask questions, actively look and listen, participate and speak clearly. Engagement in the conversation will make you more memorable and hopefully lead to more advantageous outcomes for everyone. Remember, if you listen, they will listen to you.
4. Engage with energy: We have the power to influence others so be the one who creates positive change. This can be by the way you enter into a conversation, a room or a meeting. Good strong energy can be your confidence booster and can change the mood and tone of the whole meeting including other participants.
5. Create a great shape: Lift up through the body, open the shoulders, engage with your eyes and gestures and create length through both legs. Your posture and stance can have a real effect on how you interact with other people and how people perceive you. Think and stand big!
6. Sounding off!: The voice and the body work together to create a powerful presentation of your objectives, so find your pitch, pace and volume to work with your situation.
7. Watch What you Wear: Being comfortable and confident in your physical presentation can increase your confidence and lead to better interaction with others whether it be colleagues, clients, upper management or suppliers.
8. Back yourself: You deserve to be there so own your space. Remind yourself that if you have done the work, you have a right to be there so believe in yourself.

Review: Paul O'Keeffe – Ruskin on Turner
Paul O'Keeffe as John Ruskin
Paul O'Keeffe – Ruskin on Turner
Capstone, Thursday, 26 November, 2015, part of The Cornerstone Festival 2015.
Words by Patrick Kirk-Smith
In a crowded lecture theatre, faced with five pin ups of the old masters of landscape painting, a piercing announcement broke the anticipating silence. "It is the year 1853 and Alexander Graham Bell has yet to conceive the telephone. In this spirit, please silence your own."
John Ruskin is rarely presented as a funny man, and this lecture was no different. But we were very much put in our place, and at ease, by the surreal announcement preceding O'Keeffe's embodiment of the great critic. What came as the biggest surprise throughout this lecture was how well O'Keeffe managed to capture the spirit of a man most regularly portrayed in bit parts, and focused the audience on his history, and his affectations in a manner that was more a remembrance than an act.
I know several members of the audience were regretting their notion to subject themselves to an hour and a half of lecture, too often dull and uninspiring, but I would be willing to bet they left with no memory of that regret. The lecture was a history lesson in many respects, but stood with resonance today, with many still regarding Turner as the best landscape painter to have lived. He is certainly one of the most successful, living or dead, and by far the most well-known. Whether he is the best is a matter of opinion.
Fortunately, that's just what we expect with Ruskin, and exactly what we were given. O'Keeffe's generous bio-lecture caught that opinion, and presented it not with pomposity, but with honesty, and dignity. It was a picture of Ruskin that we do not usually see, a picture of him as a peer, and a man of empathy; rather than as the tyrant whose opinion made or broke. On the other hand, that tyranny remains. There is a power to O'Keeffe's delivery which goes a long way to explaining why Ruskin was so well regarded, and so highly believed.
There is a genuine tone in his words, and a clear emotive response to Turner and his work, which surpasses a mere visual critic. It is the emotion that sparked my interest most, as part of an historical account of both a relationship between friends and colleagues, and of this turning point in fine art painting that elevated the relationships between viewer and work to more than it had ever been. Turner created work that required a response, not just work that wanted to show. It was this understanding of his subject, of each individual landscape, and his desire to surpass his previous achievements, that led to his success. That Ruskin celebrates convincingly.
O'Keeffe is lost to Ruskin, and the audience believe what they hear, and who they hear it from. And this is the only reason I can summon to explain why O'Keeffe is not a name you may have heard yet: He's too good; he portrays Ruskin in such a convincing manner, such an intimate manner; one we have not seen him in before. It is impossible to separate actor from character in this brilliant recreation of one of art history's most important lectures.

Leon Foster Thomas is a gifted international jazz musician, steel pan virtuoso, drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger and lecturer. He blends his Caribbean roots with the harmonic and improvisational complexities of jazz, creating a lively and eclectic meld all his own. Winner of the World Steel Band Music Festival's Soloist and Duet competitions, critics laud him as "the next big thing on his instrument", "…an enthralling improvisor…" (All About Jazz); "…masterful with impeccable musicianship" (When Steel Talks); and "a benevolent wizard"(Venice Magazine).


Acer japonicum 'Attaryi' is a very pretty variety with large, rounded leaves that are cut deeply into 7-9 lobes. The leaves are green with striking scarlet and orange-yellow autumn colour. This Full Moon Maple has the leaves very similar to Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium' but slightly larger.
The tree has an upright habit and can reach 9m high and 6m wide. This variety loves a sunny spot and well-drained soil. A really strong and hardy variety.
Like all Maples Acer japonicum 'Attaryi' doesn't require any pruning routine. Remove any dead or damaged branches. The best time to prune is the late autumn or winter when the plant is fully dormant.

An increasing risk to bus and coach industry staff is posed by 'sharps' found on vehicles when cleaning duties are being undertaken. Usually these take the form of discarded needles from drug users, but a more legitimate type of sharps would be a diabetic 'pen' or needle.
Under Health and Safety legislation all employers have a duty to carry out risk assessment on the activities of all employees. The Management of Health & Safety Regulations 1999 state that every employer shall make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work and the risks to the health & safety of persons not in his employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking.
Minimise Your Risk now offers a 'package' of a generic risk assessment, a safe operating procedure and the practical 'control' of a sharps removal kit.
The basic pack cost £15 inclusive of postage and packing (risk assessment, safe operating procedure and one sharps removal kit) and additional removal kits are available at £5.95 (plus £6 postage and packing if not part of initial order).


Building Muscle Has Health Benefits!
As a bodybuilder, I made a decision to not overload my body with extra protein. Every single American unless they are starving has more than enough protein. I didn't want to build muscle if it meant compromising my kidneys or liver with excess protein. This is part of the reason why I went plant based... the protein in plants won't raise my IGF-1 levels, or insulin-like growth factor 1, which increases one's risk for cancer and other diseases.
The vegan bodybuilders like Robert Cheese, Will Tucker and countless others really inspire me and show me what's possible without meat. I'm on a mission trying to prove to my whey protein powder friends at the gym that there's a much healthier way to build muscle.
Over 5 years ago, I ate so bad. I would exercise but get absolutely nowhere. I consumed so many processed foods that I'm surprised I didn't get full-blown diabetes. But that just goes to show how the body can heal itself.
I never realized how important healthier foods choices were back then. Finishing off a half gallon of ice cream in two days, you can see I was on the wrong track. It took pre-hypertension to wake me up. No way was I going to rely on meds!
Bodybuilders require a lot more calories than most people. As for myself, I already reached my goal weight and I'm not looking to lose more weight so I have to make sure I eat enough.
As a vegan for almost four months now, a lot of people have asked me about what foods I eat. I figured I should take the time to go through my diet as it might help others that are looking for a way to change to a plant based diet but not really familiar with what foods to eat.

Ahmed Best's 'Star Wars' Character, Jar Jar Binks, Is George Lucas' Favorite

Revenge of the Dreamers III: The Top Seven Artists Who Stood Out
Actor Ahmed Best is mainly known for his role as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars saga. His role brought unto him a ton of backlash and criticism as many felt his alien character lived up to racist stereotypes. Since his portrayal in the 1999 and 2002 installments of the film, Best struggled to find more roles and dealt with mental health issues as a result of it.
However, the 45-year-old actor now says that he's on a "really strong path to healing" after the franchise's creator, George Lucas, called Jar Jar Binks his "favorite character."
Lucas called into a fan event that marked the 20th anniversary of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and surprised enthusiasts with his remarks. "Thank you for coming to the celebration. It's one of my favorite movies," Lucas said. "Of course Jar Jar is my favorite character. Ahmed, he did a fantastic job. It was very, very hard."
Lucas' words inspired Best to speak with TMZ and share his thoughts on the filmmaker's comments. "I hope that George saying this, that it was his favorite character will help people look deeper into the work and what we did as filmmakers, and what we did as collaborators and what we did as artists," he said. "And look at how we influence the next generation of not only filmmaking but filmmakers."
Best previously stated that he contemplated suicide due to the character's backlash. We wish him a speedy road back to recovery.
