As an American living in a privileged bubble, it's hard to know the rawness of life outside, even when I witness it first-hand.
I recently took a photography assignment in Honduras. The last time I was in that country was in 1999, right after Hurricane Mitch had devastated the region. Perhaps a bit naive, but truly well-intentioned, a group of my college friends and I headed there on spring break to help rebuild a village in the remote mountains a day's drive from Tegucigalpa. Without electricity, we worked exclusively by daylight. At night, we slept outside under a sheet of stars, unaware of just how dangerous and chaotic the world was around us.
Over a decade later, I returned, this time wearing a different hat, and much more alert to the reality of the situation there. I trolled the U.S. State Department's website daily for updates from that country, which claims the highest homicide rate, per capita, in the world. Although the crime rate has steadily declined since 1999, when it was at its highest, kidnappings, carjackings, and other unmentionable crimes are still common occurrences. Recently, six people were stopped while leaving the San Pedro Sula airport, where I arrived a week later, dragged out of their cars and sprayed with bullets. The gunfire was so intense that people inside of the airport were injured.
So, I traveled by day in an armored vehicle, with bullet-proof tires and an armed driver. At night, I was locked behind doors with machine guns keeping watch outside.
As an American, it's hard to pop that privileged bubble and step outside.
The closer you get to the equator, the more intense life seems to get.
The colors are more vivid, the textures are more tactile, the people are more passionate.
Despite mass poverty, the oppression of crime, and constant disasters, natural and political, Honduras was a land full of warmth and generosity.
It was rain season, and a thick blanket of clouds plodded slowly across the sky for the length of my stay, Hurricane Rina in the making, creating breathtaking moments on the vast Lago de Yojoa in the interior, and peaceful vignettes in the lush jungles, a quilted patchwork of palm forests and marshland.
There were no baller meals to be had. But I didn't miss them. I had fresh fish almost every day, fried whole, with crispy fins, served with fresh limes, pickled onions, and rice and beans. There were bags of rambutan, acquired from road-side stands, those furry balls of red that we cracked open for their fleshy, lichee-like fruit within. And there were breakfasts of papaya juice, fried plantains, and stews of ropey pulled pork.
My trip started in Miami, where I had dinner at Yardbird, Jeff McInnis's new Southern table on South Beach. I liked it enough to return for a second helping a few days later, when I returned from Honduras; a quick tuck and a sleepless pit stop before moving on to Mexico early the next morning.
Thirty-plus countries I've visited, and many of them multiple times, but I had never visited our neighbor to the south.
My friend Adam of A Life Worth Eating has been spending a significant amount of time in that country. And, when he heard that I was heading down to Central America, he invited me to stop in Mexico for a week of eating before returning home.
Boy, am I glad I did.
After a drive over the beautiful volcano range that separate the states of Mexico and Puebla, with Popocatepatl smoldering in the distance next his sleeping lover, Iztaccíhuatl, I met Adam and our friend Artemis in Cholula, the capital of speed bumps. We wandered through the markets, exploring the local produce, gawking at crispy boards of chicharones bigger than I. We paused to watch a butcher carve a side of beef, hanging floor to ceiling, and admired the enormity of pigs dangling by their hooked knees, fresh from the slaughter.
Not twenty-four hours in Mexico, I had fallen in love with the place.
Adam introduced me to cemitas milanesa, a local sandwich stuffed with an oversized cutlet of veal, pounded and breaded; avocado; popalo, a local herb tasting of basil and cilantro; chipotle, smokey and sweet; and smothered with a stringy cheese called cotija, which was pulled fresh every time. We had many, many, many of them, all washed down with a rainbow of aguas frescas – watermelon, soursop, tamarind, and my favorite, guava.
We ate quecas and quesadillas at road-side stands. It was the same scene every time: a stout woman, with her tortilla press, a griddle, a stool, and a table under a tarp strung up between trees. We stopped, ate, and then walked around town until we happened upon another, where we would eat again, and then again. Huitlacoche, chicharron, and flor de calabaza (zucchini blossoms) – the ingredients were simple, but fresh and good. And those tortillas – I could eat them warm with nothing but a dash of salt.
The ancient and the modern co-exist in Mexico in stark contrast.
In Puebla, we visited an old ice factory, now converted into a hotel and restaurant. I loved the preservationist mindset here – the present exists to prolong the past, instead of destroying the past to create the present. On the rooftop, we lingered to admire the view from a pool-side bar with a magnificent view of an old church, and the stars beyond.
As the sun set, Adam and I went night shooting, making subjects out of abandoned ruins with our cameras, and basking in the fluorescent glow of the cathedral in the zócalo of Puebla. Afterward, we went for a midnight taco run: al pastor, al pastor, al pastor, shaved from a turning spit with a pineapple on top.
We walked the shizz out of Mexico City, the country's Distrito Federal, a sprawl of incomprehensible magnitude rising from the ashes of Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztec city built on Lake Texcoco.
There were more markets, full of more produce, more chicharones, and instead of cemitas, tostadas.
We grazed the streets, eating elote out of a stand: hot corn on the cob, slathered with mayonnaise, rolled in grated cheese, and dusted with chile powder. The corn here is different from the ones that crowd the fields outside of my home in Kansas City – the kernels are much larger, much more fibrous, paler in color, and a lot less sweet.
At El Cardinal, we had chilaquiles verdes, and nata, a milky sweet cream, spooned onto warm tortillas and sprinkled with salt. That might have been my favorite mouthful all week.
We ate at Pujol, Enrique Olvera's celebrated revision of Mexican cuisine. And we ate at Biko, where two Spaniards are attempting to establish a comprehensible voice in Mexican fine dining. And of course: al pastor, al pastor, al pastor, again, shaved from a turning spit with a pineapple on top.
And in between there were Mexican candies of all shapes and colors. Artemis introduced me to tamarind paste wrapped around straws and dusted with chile powder; unbelievably tart suckers, also coated in chile powder; crunchy clusters made from toasted amaranth; and mazapán, sugary peanut powder pressed into tidy little pucks.
In the city's spacious zócalo, I found dozens of colorful alebrijes – dream chasers – keeping watch under a ginormous, flapping bandera, on which an eagle, perched on nopales, snags a snake, a sign to the Aztecs to settle and build.
Everywhere, calaveras de azúcar – sugar skull candies – and skeletons heralded the advent of Dia de los Muertos, just a few days hence.
Outside of the Museo Nacional de Anthropologie, we were dwarfed by the mythic sculptures of Javier Marín, enormous heads that seemed to have tumbled from Mount Olympus.
I admired "El Ángel," the golden symbol of the Distrito Federal, atop her pedestal on the Paseo de la Reforma.
And at night, I watched Diana shoot the moon outside of our hotel.
I cannot thank Adam and Artemis enough for their hospitality, or the people of Honduras and Mexico for their warmth and generosity. I'll be back.
We ate a lot. To my hopelessly long list of meals this year, I add the following (not including countless and nameless road-side stands and stops):
Biko (Mexico City)
El Califa (Mexico City)
El Cardinal (Mexico City)
Cemitas Lily (San Andres Cholula)
Cemitas Lupita (San Pedro Cholula)
Cemitas Mary (San Pedro Cholula)
Mero Toro (Mexico City)
Méson Sacristía de la Companía (Puebla)
El Mural de los Poblanos (Puebla)
Pujol (Mexico City)
Taqueria el Super Salsa (Puebla)
Tostadas Coyoacan (Mexico City)
Yardbird (Miami Beach, Florida) (once, twice)

I died again. In the waters as usual. It is always the water. Somehow it all makes sense. It is always the minor things. The minutia that pulls me under. The little, wet idiosyncrasies, stuffed words, distant miscommunication. I die over and over again. Each time, I emerge from the waters, gasping for air. Shedding my wet skin, warming myself by imaginary fires. There is always a new life, new thoughts springing forth from moist soil. But, the disappointment is daunting. The little, sad failures leave me paralyzed in bed, stomaching churning, limbs seized. I stand in the grocery store, gazing at nothing, avoiding mediocre conversations with a neighbor about apple trees. There is a scream boiling up inside me. A smile creeps across my face and I nod, backing away slowly. There is nothing I understand about their world. My days are secret disasters giving birth to revelations, new lives excreted through the pores of despair. I am not normal. I can't swim with the happy people. The little conversations are lost on me. I stare blankly at the triviality of their little pleasures. I live with death. I am pulled out of swimming pools, electrocuted by hair dryers in bath tubs. I dig holes and send out esoteric messages to tortured souls. Life comes from ascending, stretching and evolving in the darkness. I find God in broken people. There are others, as wet as I am. Brought back from the brink. Eating the water of life. Dying on the bread of the masses. I died again, but I find new life. Touch the beauty of the universe, I carry a beautiful song in my heart. It is all very sad. The cycle of death is annoying. Next time I will be normal. I will dive into a big smile which will release me of my burdens. Everything will be alright. Even in death, everything will be alright. Today I live. Today, I dry off and live a secret life.
Love this… I understand this state of existing. Well done!
Yes! Jasper gets it right.
Wow! This is a perfect example of why he is one of my favourites.
Wow. This is so relatable. And your expression is always amazing.
It's hard, but I feel like thinking I'm so different and unrelatable to people around me only leads to more paralyzed, wasted years. You have a calling to bring out what you can't initially see in a person, these "new lives excreted through the pores of despair." Everyone is broken in some way.
Jasper's vision is like a nail with this one. It stands out in a sea of the same and acts as a beacon.
Spiritual wisdom has always been the province of those suffering. The majority of people cling to labels like commercial products. The culture of Christianity is one of senseless mimesis and the sustaining of names tied with bad ideas.
Brilliant, piercing writing from Jasper Kerkau.
This is a light with a laser beam focus that cuts through to the essence, the truth of it.
Oh – the dreariness of ennui, despair and 100 other nouns that won't suffice for the fearsome clarity you've reached in this beautiful piece. Your writing humbles me.
I was drawn to this out of a fear of drowning; the nightmares of my youth; since writing (well my take on it), and reading such as this, I've come to realise that the fear more real, to drown in unexpressed emotion.
Thank you for taking the time to read and you insight. I die over and over again in my dreams; it is always in water.
What a wonderful comment. I am honored. And I am humbled by your kind words.
This piece chased me down. I exploded out of my consciousness. Most of the time I am unsure of a work, and, at times, it is a struggle to find the right words. This was a piece that demanded to be written, immediately. The best pieces are the easiest. Thank you for your kind words.
I am always honored by a reblog from you my friend. Every once in a while truth finds us, and often at the strangest times.
I haven't heard from you in a while. It is always an honor. I have always been a fan of your writing and your spiritual center. I am blessed by your comment.
I am always very appreciative for your support of myself and all of SD.
Like SK, I am always uniquely honored to be reblogged by you. We have a mutual admiration society.
Thank you for the reblog. I am a big fan of your work and very honored.
I rarely dream at night, I think it must be an age thing; but when I do it always relates to not being able to get back to where I need to be; perhaps it means I should be somewhere else? As for my days, a constant dream, writing as many hours as I can; or can get away with! Eric.
Pingback: I Die in the Water – Jasper Kerkau – I am a poet! I am. I am. I am a poet, I reaffirmed, ashamed.
You capture an essence so painstakingly beautiful and sorrowful at the same time.
It is a privilege to have crossed paths!
This empirical, existential marvel carves a depth beyond depths.
A wonderful piece. I appreciate the simple language that carries the depth of your perspevtive. It reminds me to step back and listen to the pulse of my surroundings, observe, be mindful. Thank you.
The fires in Jasper Kerkau's writing.
Jasper Kerkau stuns with this piece.
This is so heart wrenching but speaks of truth at so many levels. When we know we are different and not even trying to fit in , just trying to ignore the normal small talk people engage themselves in. We stand in but stand out.
I do feel like his sometimes. This one really spoke to me.
This spoke to me at so many levels. Beautiful writing of Jasper Kerkau.
My heart jumps in excitement every time I stumble across a piece from you.

Michel Broyer (2020)
» In Memoriam » Michel Broyer (2020)
We are very sad to announce the death of Professor Michel Broyer on March 10, 2020 at the age of 86, following a COVID19 infection.
Early during his residency in Professor Pierre Royer's unit at the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in the early 1960's, Michel Broyer was fascinated by the recent developments in pediatric nephrology. His unique aim became to offer children with kidney disease the best possible diagnostic approach and treatment. He was the first in Europe in 1969 to develop and adapt dialysis techniques, in particular hemodialysis, to children. It was a heroic period when the vascular access was by an external arteriovenous shunt and the sessions lasted more than 8 hours. In 1973 he took in charge pediatric kidney transplantation. Despite a difficult start, his efforts made it possible for these children not only to survive but to return to an almost normal life. Since then, more than 1300 kidney transplants have been performed in this centre. He succeeded Pierre Royer as head of Pediatric Nephrology department in Necker Enfants Malades Hospital from 1978 to 1999.
Michel Broyer's contributions have not been limited to the treatment of chronic kidney disease. He has studied all areas of this specialty, as evidenced by his list of more than 400 publications. Himself and Renée Habib, both internationally recognized for their work, described a number of new entities in childhood kidney disease. With Pierre Royer and Renée Habib, he has made the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital a major clinical and academic center of pediatric nephrology, internationally recognized.
In 1975, Michel Broyer and Renée Habib organized highly successful annual Pediatric Nephrology seminars that continue nowadays, attracting pediatricians and nephrologists from man parts of the world. Michel Broyer also initiated the French "Pediatric Nephrology Club". He defined its role as follows: "The annual meeting of the Club has been and remains for the youngest members an opportunity to learn how to communicate, a preliminary and logical step towards participating in international meetings. The small size of the Club has also helped to maintain the feeling that members belong to the same family where everyone knows each other and is likely to help each other. Thanks to the Club, cooperative studies have been carried out. Over time, the scientific quality of the meetings continues to improve, while their tone remains very convivial. " In 2000, the Club was renamed the Société de Néphrologie Pédiatrique.
The conviviality between pediatric nephrologists continues with another generous idea of Michel Broyer who initiated in the early 2000's a yearly three-day cultural meeting of the French speaking pediatric nephrologists retired their professional activities. These meetings are since organized every year in a different town by the local pediatric nephrologist. Himself organized this meeting in 2015 in Lorient, close to his house in Britany. He also co-organized the last 2019 meeting in Paris with his Parisian colleagues. These meetings illustrate his fidelity in friendship, for the benefit and pleasure of all.
Michel Broyer trained many pediatric nephrologists from France and abroad. Many became leaders in their countries. All of them admired his medical knowledge, his scientific rigour and his generosity for the children, their families and colleagues.
Michel Broyer had a major role in the development of the registry of the European Dialysis Transplantation Association and in the association "France Transplant". He was editor of the journal "Pediatric Nephrology". For several years, he chaired the Ethics Committee of the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital.
Michel Broyer was in the noble sense of the terms "un honnête homme" and "un homme de bien".

A group of direct mail stakeholders submitted a document to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) today stating its opposition to the U.S. Postal Service's motion to have a court stay its first scheduled report on the effects of exigency.
In its December decision approving the 4.3% exigent rate hike, the PRC qualified that the increase should stay in effect only until losses the Postal Service suffered due to the Great Recession were recovered, a period it estimated at about two years. In that regard, it required USPS to report incremental revenue generated by the special increase 30 days after each quarter. The first report is due on Wednesday. A further proposal for the eventual removal of the exigent increase is due from USPS on Thursday.
Noting that the Postal Service's motion to the U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. does not satisfy any of four criteria for such a stay set down by settled law, the mailers' group further took issue with the timing of the request.
The opposition letter was filed by a coalition of 16 private companies and industry associations including The American Catalog Mailers Association, the Association of Marketing Service Providers, the Direct Marketing Association, RR Donnelley, and Valpak.

Late last week, the Postal Regulatory Commission and the Postal Service released their much-delayed joint study of Periodicals costs that was mandated by the 2006 postal reform act.
The report presents two main findings. First, despite questions about the accuracy of Periodicals costs raised by MPA and numerous others over the course of many years, the report asserts that that Periodicals cost measurements are "reasonably accurate for ratemaking purposes." Second, the report concedes that Periodicals costs could be greatly reduced, e.g., by reducing the manual handling of Periodicals. The Commission and Postal Service differ greatly about how much money can be saved: the Postal Service estimates that the potential savings are only $146 million annually; the PRC estimates a much larger $349 million. Both entities agree, however, that neither estimate is large enough to close the cost coverage gap, which has been measured at approximately $600 million.
The report discusses a number of "options" for above-inflation price increases to close the remainder of the supposed cost coverage gap. These include replacing the class-level price cap with a systemwide one (which would allow the USPS to raise Periodicals rates faster than inflation); breaching the CPI price cap to allow the PRC to raise Periodicals prices enough to achieve 100 percent cost coverage; and a Postal Service long-term suggestion of eliminating the Periodicals class and simply providing publishers with postage discounts from First-Class Mail and Standard Mail rates.
MPA strongly disagrees with the study's findings.

"Before they are hired, USPS employees undergo a background check, take an oath to protect they safety and security of the mail and are bound by a code of ethical conduct. It's also taking away good, stable jobs and replacing them with low-wage, high-turnover jobs," said Peggy Whitney, business agent of the APWU Minneapolis Area Local.
An internal USPS document makes clear that the goal of the program is to replace the jobs held by USPS employees with low-paying jobs in the private sector. "That's bad for postal workers and it's bad for our communities and our country," Whitney said.
"But this isn't just about postal jobs,"said national APWU President Mark Dimondstein. "Many people are outraged that a tremendous public asset is being turned over to a struggling private company." Staples recently announced that it would close 225 stores by 2015.
via Postal Service actions jeopardizing security of the mail, demonstrators say | Twin Cities Daily Planet.
It's becoming clear that the U.S. Postal Service has mishandled sales of historic post offices around the country.
Its in-house watchdog, the USPS Office of Inspector General, is in the middle of a series of audits. The latest, released several days ago, found that the postal service does not track sales or even know how many historic buildings it owns.
It may help explain how Stamford's Atlantic Street Station was sold right off the National Register of Historic Places to a New York developer.
The USPS shut the 1916 post office, which operated downtown at 421 Atlantic St. for 97 years, with two days' notice in September. That was when the sale to the developer was supposed to close. But it is held up in court, challenged by a customer, another bidder on the building and a preservation group.
If Stamford's post office saga sounds confusing, consider the findings of the USPS inspector general.
In its latest audit, the office examined whether the USPS followed regulations meant to protect historic properties, built mostly with taxpayers' money.
The report cited serious failings. USPS computers do not categorize which buildings are historic and, without accurate data, employees cannot "identify, manage and protect the historic properties in its inventory," the report found.

text:
В индуизме Бхубанешвари является четвёртой из десяти богинь Дашамахавидья, как элементы физической вселенной, давая форму для создания мира. Бхубанешвари рассматривается как высшая богиня, которая создает все и уничтожает все ненужное зло мира. Она также рассматривается как матерь богини Кали, Лакшми, Сарасвати и Гаятри. В индуистской мифологии она считается самой мощной богиней Вселенной.

Этимология
Этимология имени связана со словосочетанием «та, чьё тело есть мир».

Изображение и значение символов
Богиня Бхубанешвари это прекрасная, юная, улыбающая богиня с грудями, полными молока, которым она питает все три мира, изображается сидящей на красном лотосе. Её обнаженное тело украшают разноцветные жемчуга, голову — драгоценная корона. О ней говорится, что она есть «треугольник» (символ йони), и третий глаз появился у Шивы якобы для того, чтобы лучше видеть её и наслаждаться её красотой.

У Бхубанешвари много рук, в которых она держит различные виды оружия, а двумя изображает защищающий и дарующий жесты. Она одаривает своих почитателей магической силой привлекать к себе людей (особенно противоположного пола) и контролировать их, а также превращать свои желания и слова в действительность.

Культ
Есть несколько храмов, посвященных Бхубанешвари по всей Индии, однако, наиболее важным считается Шакти-пита, который находится в городе Наинативу — у берегов полуострова Джафна на севере Шри-Ланки. Также она рассматривается в качестве основного шакти храма Лингараджа в Бхубанешваре.

Mike Judge's workplace satire "Office Space," which celebrates its 20th anniversary Feb. 19, was a bona fide box office flop when it grossed a measly $10.8 million in 1999. But once the comedy was discovered on DVD and cable, "Office Space" became a cult sensation, spreading concepts like "flair" and "assclown" across pop culture.
The now-classic comedy will be celebrated at the upcoming Texas Film Awards, where it will be inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. Judge and the cast will reunite for a screening and panel March 7 in Austin.
Servers at T.G.I. Friday's might want to raise a glass to "Office Space," because according to a 2004 New York Magazine interview with Judge, the restaurant not only got rid of its dorky striped shirts but also the mandatory flurry of pins and buttons — known as "flair" — a few years after the film was released.

Q: JavaScript if element is display = block change CSS of another element Is there any way of changing the CSS of an element if another element is displayed as 'block' using pure JavaScript?
Sorry probably should have said, the display of the element is dependent on whether a button is pressed.
So button press, element1 = display: block; and element2 = opacity: 0.2;
When element1 = display: none; element2 = opacity 1;

A: Yes there is you can get the style by using
<!DOCTYPE html>

Q: how to catch a browser-blocked XMLHttpRequest? I'm using jQuery ajax to perform a request but sometimes it is blocked by the browser (ie. when my site is running over https and it tries to make an external call to a http resource).
I use this code to make the request
    jQuery.ajax({
        url:    videoCallString,
        success: function(result) {
            //...if it isn't, we can't playback the video so skip next slide
            if (result != 1) {
                console.log('found no video_check on localhost so skip slide '+self.nextSlide);
                self.skip();
            }
            else {
                //success, proceed as normal
                self.beforeComplete();
            }
        }, /*
        fail: function() {
                console.log('found no video_check on localhost so skip slide '+self.nextSlide);
                self.skip();
        }, */
        complete: function(xhr, data) {
            if (xhr.status != 200) {
                //we could not find the check-video file on localhost so skip next slide
                console.log('found no video_check on localhost so skip slide '+self.nextSlide);
                self.skip();
            }
            else {
                //success, proceed as normal
                self.beforeComplete();
            }
        }, //above would cause a double-slide-skip, I think. Removed for now, that should be trapped by the fail clause anyways.
        async: true
    });

But if a request is blocked, none of these events are triggered.
Would the fail event trigger if I didn't have it commented out? I did that because otherwise I get double skip() which is very undesirable...

A: As far as my testing goes, this is not possible to do.
In my case, I used a window variable to indicate whether page was loaded with chrome flag to allow this type of call or not, and only perform the ajax call if it was. Otherwise I just skip over the entire ajax call and go to the same result as a failed call.

IDFA Transformation Challenge Expands Across Canada!
IDFA will be awarding the best transformation at each of the competitions across Canada. The winner of the IDFA Transformation Challenge at each competition will receive $250.00 Cash.
Every IDFA Competition offers the IDFA Transformation Challenge. To enter go to ENTRY FORMS and select the show you would like to register in.
-There is no time frame for the Before Photo. Just send in a photo that best represents your overall Transformation journey.
>> Send these requirements (Before Photo and 300 Word Story) to info@idfa.ca.
We will read your 300 Word Story and at that time your BEFORE PHOTO will be on the big screen. After your story is read we will introduce you on to the stage. You are the AFTER.
When you come on to stage as the AFTER you will have your time on stage to present your self to the audience and judges. Have fun with it. This is your moment to show off all of your Hard Work! Most athletes (women) do a T-walk similar to that in the other divisions. And the men typically come out and do some poses for the audience. Don't rush your time on stage. Enjoy every second of it!
NOTE: Typically we open the show with the Transformation Challenge Division.
A bikini style suit of your choice, or a typical bikini or posing suit used in the other divisions.
NOTE: For this division we are very flexible to the type and coverage of the bikini or posing suit you choose to wear. However the suit must be tasteful and cover at least 40% of the glutes.
A bodybuilding posing suit, swim trunks, or board shorts are the desired attire.
