Megleen o/a Tim Hortons: A Canadian model for inclusion
Megleen o/a Tim Hortons has been nominated for the Ontario Leader in Accessible Employment Award, to be presented on the evening of November 26 at the 2014 Ontario Business Achievement Awards. Make sure to get your seats today!
Initially Mark Wafer had decided to pursue opportunities in the auto sector, as it played into his skills and passion. This was, until he reviewed the Tim Hortons franchise model and felt that it would be a "good fit." Now, nearly 20 years later, Mark owns and operates seven Tim Hortons franchise locations in the Scarborough area.
A good fit indeed.
Before the first double-double was ordered, Wafer opened his doors as an inclusive employer and hired people with disabilities in meaningful and competitively paid positions. He has hired 106 people with disabilities since going into businesses. Currently, the 44 of his 250 employees with a disability are playing a prominent role on his team, including in management.
Wafer acknowledges that customers want to do business with corporations that care about a community's well being. But for him, building a team inclusive of people with disabilities has improved his bottom line. "I discovered quite early on that there were significant business benefits in being inclusive: greater safety, greater innovation, lower absenteeism, much lower turnover rate, and higher productivity, just to name a few."
By knowing his product, listening to his customers, and supporting his employees, Wafer has been able to build an upstanding reputation, foster innovation, and champion a productive and inclusive workplace culture.
Looking ahead, he intends to grow his business by one or two franchise locations in the next five years and aims to become the Canadian model for inclusion. "We believe that our inclusive model can be copied in any company or corporation regardless of size or location and this will be our goal over the next five years."
In addition to running a successful company, Mark also speaks internationally on the subject of accessible employment.
Check out the profile of Mark and his approach to inclusive business from CBC's The National.
Join us in Toronto on the evening of November 26th as we shine the spotlight on 17 other extraordinary organizations and entrepreneurs that are redefining business excellence in Ontario. Get your seats at the 2014 Ontario Business Achievement Awards today!
The Ontario Leader in Accessible Employment Award is generously supported by the Government of Ontario

This Could Be Why Rebel Missiles Keep Missing U.S. Warships
Missiles continued to fly over the Red Sea after this weekend's attack.
By Robert Bateman
Wednesday, before we at the shebeen even posted the story about the missiles launched on Sunday from rebel-held areas of Yemen at U.S. Navy ships, there was another attack. Fired from the same general area, at least one missile targeted the USS Mason—again. And again, that missile splashed into the Red Sea before it hit its target. It is not clear if the missile was defeated by countermeasures from the Mason or if it ran out of fuel. Two hours later, the USS Nitze, which is the same type of warship as the Mason, fired back with multiple Tomahawk missiles, aiming for radar sites on the Yemeni coast.
This series of attacks started October 1 against the HSV-2 Swift, a UAE-leased, unarmed supply vessel. Initial reports speculated the Swift was hit by Houthi rebels operating from small boats and using rocket propelled grenades, as is their preferred (low-tech) tactic. But despite rebel claims, the Swift did not sink. It managed to get back to a safe port and that's when photos of the damage to it came out.
The Swift was operated by the U.S. military, but it was not built in America, and it was never designed as a warship, per se. It was part of an experiment to examine options for high-speed (if low-volume) transportation. The Swift is actually a minimally modified version of an aluminum-hulled high-speed ferry. Even accounting for the very thin-skinned aluminum, there is no way an RPG could blast a hole that looked anything like those in the photos. Whatever hit her was a whole lot bigger than the standard, shoulder-fired RPG.
U.S. Navy Ships Were Fired on Last Weekend
The Houthis themselves claimed they used a C-802 missile, the export version of a '90s-era Chinese missile. In this case, it might not have been an actual C-802, but rather an Iranian knock-off called the Noor. Based on the USS Mason attack Wednesday, the missile could have been one of the earliest versions the Iranians made. The Iranians first started buying the C-802 in the '90s, but only got a few before international pressure put the kibosh on the deal. So the Iranians began building their own version. After almost 20 years of refinement, they have a "domestic" missile with a range of up to 120 miles and an "export" missile with a stated range of 75 miles. But relevant for today is the range of the first generation Noor missiles—about 18.5 miles.
It is possible that in sending "support" to their Houthi allies, the Iranians also dumped some of their original, out-of-date Noor missiles—those with a much shorter range. This may be why, in the second missile firing on Wednesday, with U.S. ships some 24 miles away, the presumed Noor splashed into the sea.
As for the U.S. Navy's counter-attack, one might wonder why we shot at the radars and not the missiles and their launchers. The reasoning there is simple: The missiles and their launchers are just ammunition to be fired. The "heart" of these systems is the guidance and tracking systems. By taking out the radars and their controllers, the missiles themselves become moot.

Management Options To Minimise Atrazine And Metolachlor Export...
H. Sun, P.S. Cornish
University of Western Sydney, Sydney NSW 2753, Australia www.uws.edu.au Email h.sun@uws.edu.au
Chemical use in agricultural production may have adverse impacts on public health and wild life, and contaminate products, as well as surface and groundwater. The need for an ecologically sound agriculture that minimises the adverse impacts of chemical use is obvious and urgent. A three-year study supported by GRDC was undertaken to investigate ways that minimise the impacts of herbicide use on the environment. The study found that there is potential to significantly reduce herbicides in the riverine environment by a combination of measures at the paddock and catchment scales, and in the transport pathways. Opportunity cropping, conservation tillage with maximum stubble retention, on site and off site vegetative filtering, targeted spray application, crop and herbicide rotation are identified to hold the greatest potentials for minimising the impacts of herbicide use in the environment. Further study to continue quantify these practices are needed.
Herbicide, cropping, best management practices, filtering, environment
Best management practices (BMPs) have been developed for different tasks in a cropping system. Historically, BMPs were developed chiefly for maintaining the productivity of the farming system. The need arose from the effects of unsustainable practices developed since European settlement, resulting particularly in soil degradation (1). These BMPs led to the development of soil and water conservation practices. As national wealth grows, attention is being increasingly turned to the ecological and environmental impacts of cropping (2). As a result, BMPs are now being developed to balance both the production needs and the ecological needs of grain production.
BMPs for cropping systems have not been able to address agricultural systems in the same vein as the industrial or manufacturing systems in the past. The latter often have stringent regulations in place for discharges of pollutants into the environment. A paddock needs to be viewed as a production unit similar to that of a manufacturing plant, and measures need to be taken at this level to minimise the off site impact of the paddock. At a catchment scale, measures need also to be taken to reduce the loads of pollutant that are exported out of the catchment. This study looked at methods of working at both the paddock and catchment levels to reduce or minimise pollutant export, in particular herbicide export to the environment.
The study took a nested catchment monitoring approach, which is monitoring runoff from a series of subcatchments within a large catchment of 437 km2 at Big Jacks Ck. in the Liverpool Plains, NSW. The sampling strategy allowed conclusions relating to individual land uses (cropping and grazing) to be drawn, along with understanding of pollutant transport from small to large scales. The catchments monitored include cropping and grazing areas and grassed waterways. Monitoring stations were set up at the outlets of grazing and cropping paddocks and also at the inflow and outflow points of grassed waterways. Water samples collected routinely (average on a monthly basis if there is water flow in the creek), and mostly during storms are tested for herbicides at various subcatchments scales (1, 6, 70, 437 km2) and land uses, with results presented accordingly. The degradation or half-life of atrazine and metolachlor in soil were estimated at the paddock/property scale (soils sampled and tested at depths of 0-10, 0-100, 100-200 mm), following application of herbicides in the paddock. Vegetative filtering effects at both paddock and catchment scale were estimated following a recent small storm in the catchment. The results are synthesized to gain insight into the fate and transport of herbicide within and from the cropping and grazing areas as well as through grassed waterways.
Soil samples were tested regularly for herbicide from a selected cropping paddock. Tests showed that atrazine and metolachlor have been detected commonly in the black vertisol soil after application. Degradation of herbicide is usually represented by half-life in soil following application. Figs 1 & 2 show the observed atrazine and metolachlor concentration in different soil layers over the study period. The half-life for atrazine is estimated in the range of 38-41 days, while the half-life for metolachlor is in the range of 26-39 days. Half-life was estimated by calculating herbicide degradation in the top 0-10 and 0-100 mm soil profile. The highest herbicide concentrations were found during the main spray time of late spring and early summer.
Fig 1 Atrazine degradation in soil
Fig 2 Metolachlor degradation in soil
Soil tests in cropping paddocks suggest that both atrazine and metolachlor were reduced to or close to detection levels within one year after application. Concentrations of atrazine and metolachlor decrease with soil depth, reaching very low levels below 200 mm of the soil surface.
Fig 3 Herbicide in runoff from a paddock cropped with sorghum
Fig 4 Herbicide detected in a grazing field, the nearest summer cropping is 5 km away
Atrazine and metolachlor detections in runoff from the cropping paddock are shown in Fig 3. The highest concentrations of atrazine and metolachlor in runoff are recorded on the first day after spray application in Dec. 2000 at 159μg/L and 41μg/L respectively with application rates of 2 L/ha atrazine and 3 L/ha of Metolachlor. The second highest peak recorded for atrazine in runoff from the cropping paddock is 103μg/L detected in Feb. 2002, approximately three months after spray application. This concentration is quite high given that several small storms occurred during the relatively dry period. The relatively dry soil condition in the three-month period suggests that dry soil is not conducive to atrazine degradation. The metolachlor level for the same storm was recorded at a low 0.65 μg/L, suggesting dry soil may not have inhibited metolachlor degradation. The results suggest that atrazine may be more persistent than metolachlor under dry soil conditions, which is not reflected in their labelled half-life (the labelled half-life of metolachlor is 1.5 times the atrazine [90 vs. 60 days]). More research is needed to further identify their degradation characteristics.
Fig 5 Herbicide in runoff from the 437 km2 mixed catchment (28% cropping, 72% grazing)
Fig 6 Herbicide in runoff from the 70 km2 mostly grazing subcatchment
Herbicide was also detected in runoff from a grazing paddock where herbicides were not applied. Fig 4 shows atrazine and metolachlor in runoff from the grazing subcatchment in the Liverpool Ranges (1.5 km2), where the closest summer cropping field was 5 km away. Peak atrazine concentration in runoff from this grazing paddock was 0.13 μg/L during the spring/summer spray season. This suggests that herbicide can drift onto grazing land during the spray season. Drift can spread up to hundreds of kilometres (3). Drift may occur through volatilisation from cropping fields to surrounding areas and being deposited as dry particles, or carried by rainfall (4).

The median atrazine concentration in runoff from the largest monitored catchment (437 km2) was 0.2μg/L and the highest 12μg/L (Fig 5). These were lower than a previous study in the same environment with a median of 7μg/L and the highest of 29μg/L respectively (5). The lower herbicide concentration during this study resulted from the large Nov. 2000 storm, which made the flood plain too wet to plant summer crops. Herbicide detected from a largely grazing subcatchment (70 km2, Fig 6) showed similar levels of herbicide concentration in runoff as were in the small grazing paddock (Fig 4). Atrazine and metolachlor found in runoff were mostly in soluble form.
Vegetative filtering has shown some encouraging results in filtering herbicide (by infiltration and adsorption). Tables 1 and 2 show changes in herbicide concentration when water passes through grass filters, for a small storm observed in Feb. 2002, at the paddock and catchment scale respectively. The result suggests that even a small vegetative area can have a positive effect in reducing herbicide export while extensive grass areas and grass waterways can greatly reduce herbicide export.
Some tentative and practical solutions to minimise herbicide transport from cropping systems may be drawn or inferred from this study:
1. The most important pathway for herbicide export into the riverine environment is by runoff after storms. Therefore, it is important to maintain a moisture deficit in the soil whenever possible. Opportunity cropping generally keeps the system 'drier' by using more water over time.
2. Associated with opportunity cropping, zero tillage generally increases infiltration, reduces runoff and usually reduces herbicide transport to streams.
3. Avoid spraying when conditions favour drift and when the soil is too wet or too dry.
4. There is a need to view each paddock as an independent production unit, and recognise that such a production unit needs to be managed to reduce off site impact. While soil and water conservation methods commonly reduce pollutant discharge, these are often not sufficient to keep pollutants in check. A percentage of the production area appears to be needed and managed as filtering areas. Further research is needed to quantify this (6).
5. The same principle of filtering may also be required at the catchment scale. A small percentage of grassed land at the catchment outlet would reduce the concentration of herbicide in runoff before it is discharged from the catchment.
6. Integrated weed management systems will reduce overall dependency on herbicides.
7. Innovation in farming including targeted or band spray is needed to reduce the amount of herbicides used in crop production.

MARK MY WORDS 2
Some storytelling and thoughts from the mind of Mark Maynard.
Herb Alban, 102, had a heart for Tomcats and community
Mark Maynard	Uncategorized	 December 26, 2020 December 26, 2020 4 Minutes
Herb Alban, one of Ashland's celebrated centenarians and a dedicated fan of Ashland Tomcat sports for seven decades, died on Friday at his home.
He was 102 years old and lived a rich life with family and friends.
Alban moved to Ashland in 1954 at the age of 36 and immediately fell in love with Tomcat sports. He was married to wife Alene for more than 75 years and they had two sons, John and Dave, and a daughter, Ann. His wife and daughter preceded him in death.
He lived on Joel Street, in the shadows of Putnam Stadium, most of his life and loved watching Tomcat football. No doubt this year's undefeated state champions would have been one of his all-time favorites. But he was around to watch the undefeated team in 1958, and the state finalists and championship years in 1967, 1972, 1975 and 1990.
His son Dave played on the 1962 (8-1-1) and 1963 (8-2-1) Tomcat teams.
Even though he never donned the maroon and white as a player, Alban was highly thought of in Tomcat circles, enough so that he was given the Distinguished Tomcat Award, reserved for those who made big impacts on the sports program, at the 2014 Ashland Invitational Tournament.
Herb Alban was awarded as the Distinguished Tomcat in 2014.
Herb Alban with son Dave and his wife.
Herb Alban and son Dave.
Herb Alban at his 99th birthday in 2017.
Ashland Mayor Steve Gilmore presented Alban with a key to the city on his 99th birthday in 2017.
So how big a fan was Herb Alban?
He once drove from Chicago to Louisville because the Tomcats were playing for a state football championship against Elizabethtown. That was in '67 when Ashland defeated Elizabethtown 19-14 for the state title.
He watched with wonder the 1961 Ashland Tomcats dazzling state championship team, but never wondered if it was the greatest basketball team he ever witnessed.
That designation belonged to the Waterloo Wonders. He was 17 at the time when the Wonders won their second consecutive Ohio state title in the Class B division. "They could have won any division. I saw them play several times. Best I ever saw. I watched the 1961 Tomcats and they were good, real good. But I don't know anybody who could give them (Waterloo) a game. They were that good."
The last Tomcat games he watched was in 2018 when longtime neighbor and family friend Barry Newsome took him to Putnam Stadium like he had for years. When Barry moved into the neighborhood on Ranch Road, where Alban lived, the first people to come over and greet Barry and his family were Herb and Alene. They became extremely good friends over the years.
As a young man, Alban was a three-sport athlete at Columbus West High School, competing in football, baseball and wrestling. He called himself "an average quarterback on an average team" in football.
There was nothing average about his high school baseball team where he played catcher and there was nothing average about his abilities behind the plate either as he eventually broke into the professional ranks.
Columbus West reached the Ohio state championship game in baseball his senior year and lost in an excruciating way.
"I was at-bat, the score was tied, and they picked our shortstop off third base. Then I got a hit. The game would have been over. We'd have won."
Instead, Cincinnati Withrow scored a run in the next inning to end the 1936 state championship game.
But that wasn't the end of Alban's baseball career. He went on to play in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, reaching high A ball. His roommate one year was Walter Alston, who went on to become the great Los Angeles Dodger manager.
"You talk about a nice guy, that was him," Alban said. "We called him 'Smoke.' Our manager was new and he didn't know any of us so he roomed us alphabetically."
It was during that season that Alston was promoted to player-manager of that same team.
"Then he got a room by himself," Alban said.
However, when World War II started, Alban joined the Navy and served in the Pacific for 33 months from 1942 to 1945 when the war was waging. He said he was glad to return home alive.
While in Ashland, Alban's baseball skills paid off when he was a member of the Ben Williamson fast-pitch state champions for two years in the early 1960s. He was a 40-something third baseman.
"My knees were shot from all those years of playing catcher," he said.
He recalled one season when Ben Williamson lost the opening game of the double-elimination state tournament, but came back to win the championship. It didn't hurt having pitchers Bill Selbee and Ed Ratliff.
Alban came to Ashland in 1954 to work for the C&O Railroad, but spent most of his career at GATX, a tank car company. He left Ashland for a brief time, living in Chicago and in Pennsylvania, but eventually settled down here.
Son Dave played football and ran track for the Tomcats while John was a standout basketball player in the Chicago and Pennsylvania areas. He broke the school scoring record at his high school in Pennsylvania. "He was a shooting fool," his father said.
Alban, who was born in 1918, had a sharp mind all his life. His stories were delightful and his attitude was that of a much, much younger man. He actively served on the Elks Sports Day Committee and sat at the welcome table at the event for years and years. Mayor Steve Gilmore presented him with a key to the city in 2017.

Spider-Man: Far From Home – Set Photo Leaks The New Spidey Stealth Suit
Spider-Man: Far From Home is on its way and it is going to bring us quite a lot of goodies. It will introduce us to the new era of MCU movies where things are going to be totally different from what they have been till now. Avengers 4 is going to be a game-changing event, but the most important thing it will do is bring back the disintegrated Avengers who are supposed to be permanently dead but also continue to appear in upcoming MCU movies (quite a dilemma huh!).
Kevin Feige mentioned last year that Spider-Man: Far From Home will take place just days after the events of Avengers 4, and for quite a while, we have known for a fact that the film will be taking things to a whole new level. Peter's secret identity will be more vulnerable this time around, as Spider-Man traveling to Europe along with Peter is going to be a coincidence that many people may not believe. Honestly, this has us all very optimistic as Spider and New York go hand in hand and Spidey 2 will take Peter far from home to Europe where is going to be out on his summer vacation.
Peter is not going to be alone on his summer vacation as his friends from school are going to accompany him. It is going to be an insane adventure as Peter is gonna go up against many villains including Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio all across Europe.
The film will be very villain heavy as it will probably set up the Sinister Six for the third and presumably final Spider-Man film in the "Home" Trilogy. Along with Gyllenhaal's Mysterio, it has been rumored that Molten Man, Hydro-Man and Chameleon will be a part of the film. Also, it would be understandable if the Vulture returns towards the end of the film, and we might even get the glimpse of Mac Gargan aka Scorpion, set up by Homecoming.
The recent set photos gave us the first look at Zendaya who plays Michelle/MJ in the MCU. The film is currently shooting in Prague, and a set photo of a Giant Wheel recently hit the net. Sources claim that a major action sequence is going to take place on this particular set, and Mysterio, the illusionist is actually going to turn as big as the Giant wheel shown below:
A while ago, the costume designer of Spider-Man: Homecoming recently had an interview with India West, and he did mention that we will be seeing major changes upon the spider-suit in Spider-Man: Far From Home. He said:
"I am not actually working on that film, but the costumes will have very big changes because, in the film, Spider-Man becomes more like man and not teenager."
We could imagine that Spidey will obviously be done wearing the Iron Spider suit and will probably be back to wearing his Homecoming suit. But it seems that a new evidence has shown up which proves the statement of the Homecoming costume designer right. A new set photo which has been tweeted by user @DailySpidey showcases what we are calling the Spider-Man stealth suit. Have a look:
It is apparent that the suit is black in colour by that does not mean that it is the Venom suit. Just kill that thought before it even originates in your head. But a black Spider-suit used for stealth missions will obviously look cool on screen. It will be a nod to the Black suit from the comics and even the recent Spider-Man game launched by Sony. Let's just hope that we do get to see a Black suit as teased in this image. Hopefully, there are even more suits in the film!
Spider-Man: Far From Home comes out on July 5, 2019 and it is going to star Tom Holland (Peter Parker / Spider-Man) Marisa Tomei (May Parker), Jacob Batalon (Ned), Tony Revolori (Flash Thompson) Zendaya (Michelle Jones), the Deli Owner from Homecoming, Michael Keaton (Adrian Toomes / Vulture), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan) Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Jake Gyllenhaal (Quentin Beck / Mysterio), JB Smoove (possibly as J. Jonah Jameson) and Numan Acar (possibly as Dmitri Smerdyakov / Chameleon).

Q: Open modal box by jQuery onchange of select option How can I open a model box by jQuery on change of select option?

A: You can sent a listener for the select option change
checkout the example here  http://jsfiddle.net/N4EZf/2/
html
<select id="selectMe">
<option value='1'>1</option>
<option value='2'>2</option>
</select>

jquery
alert('ready');
$('#selectMe').change(function() {
    alert('Call modal function');
});

A: Depends on what you mean by "modal box" (or "model box" in the question).
If you're talking about a jQuery UI Dialog, this should do it:
$(document).ready(function() {

    // Set the element as a dialog
    $('div#modalDialog').dialog({
        modal: true,
        autoOpen: false
    });

    // Set the dialog to open when mySelect changes
    $('select#mySelect').change(function() {
        $('#modalDialog').dialog('open');
    });

});

This will, when the DOM has loaded, configure a div element with the id "modalDialog" to be a modal dialog and set a listener on the change event of a select element with the id "mySelect" to open the dialog.

A: onchange = "$('#dialogboxname').dialog('open');"

add the onchange attribute like above^

A year ago, on Sept. 1, 2018, the Freedom and Movement Center held its grand opening with plenty of food and a bike giveaway, announcing, "We're so excited to have a new home of our own and to open up the Freedom and Movement Center – a community center to train and organize formerly incarcerated and convicted people, family members and allies."
Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, founded by attorney Ellen Barry in 1978, now headed by Executive Director Dorsey Nunn, has advocated for incarcerated parents, their children and family members for 40 years. Formerly located in San Francisco, the organization recently purchased a building in North Oakland's Longfellow District on a quiet residential block. The impressive structure, now extensively remodeled, sits prominently on a corner at 44th and Market streets.

"It wasn't exactly our choice to leave San Francisco," Nunn told Troy Williams, a formerly incarcerated journalist who has worked with the Bay View. Published by the Oakland Post, Williams's story continues:
"In fact, the building they had rented for 17 years was being demolished to make way for new development in San Francisco's transit-rich and walkable mid-Market area.
"'After calculating the amount of rent we paid over 17 years,' Nunn continued, 'I realized that we had paid over $1,224,000 for a building we didn't own.'
"The Freedom and Movement Center opened with a block party at 44th and Market Streets in Oakland that saluted the elders and the community with live music and barbeque, and they donated 50 free bicycles, helmets and electric toy cars to children. The celebration gave inspiration to a community to know that their prodigal sons and daughters were returning home to do right by them.
"According to Nunn, the inspiration to build a Freedom and Movement Center came from Assata Shakur, whom he met while traveling to Cuba. 'She (Shakur) said we need to create a space where we felt welcomed and safe,' said Nunn.
"'We're going to build for permanency,' he added and then went on dispel the myth that formerly incarcerated people don't know how to work. He said the general contractor who worked on the building was formerly incarcerated. The workers the general contractor hired were formerly incarcerated. Many of his staff are formerly incarcerated.
"It is often said that those closest to the problem are closest to the solution."

Several businesses also share the Freedom and Movement Center, offering massage, child and marriage family therapists and a vagina steam salon, and the rent paid by these tenants covers the building's mortgage almost to the penny – not bad for an organization which literally threw away $1,214,000 dollars in rent for over 17 years.
Nunn, who is himself formerly incarcerated (at 19) and was serving a life sentence, mentions often the fact that the Freedom and Movement Center sits not far from the headquarters of the Black Panther Party, which launched an international movement for social justice and human rights 53 years ago that shook up the world, a world which included political prisoners and prisoners of war.
As Kathleen Cleaver says, the Black Panther Party inspired and ignited the imagination of a generation. The same is true of LSPC and organizations founded while Nunn has been at the helm or in the room: All of Us or None, celebrating its 16th anniversary; California Coalition for Women Prisoners, now in its 23rd year; and Critical Resistance, which celebrated its 20th anniversary on Sept. 30, 2018, at the Freedom and Movement Center. CR is headquartered just up the street from LSPC.
It is hard to separate where All of Us or None stops and LSPC starts. Their work over the past four decades is enormous, from changing laws which make shackling pregnant mothers illegal to allowing intention to be a factor in sentencing hearings.
All of Us or None's Ban the Box Campaign has rippled across the country, making significant changes to private and government employment applications that used to eliminate applicants who checked the box asking whether they had ever been convicted of a crime. Why must a person who has served time be identified by his or her criminal record?
Economic disparity and labels like felon or ex-con are huge causes in recidivism. Other major campaigns have called for ending the sentence of Life Without Parole (LWOP) and the California Habeas Project, which allowed women who were battered to have cases reviewed for cause and sentencing relief.
LSPC provided legal support for the mass hunger strikes in 2011 and 2013 against solitary confinement by California prisoners, whose participation peaked at 30,000. The strikes ended with settlement of a class action suit against the state by prisoners held in solitary confinement for indeterminate sentences in punishment for their alleged "gang affiliation." Fees earned by LSPC attorney Carol Strickman, a lead counsel in that litigation were used for the building's down payment and mortgage payments in addition to the rent from businesses housed there.
When one enters the bright open space of the Freedom and Movement Center, the knowledge that Nunn had hired formerly incarcerated people for the construction and remodeling work demonstrates his integrity and commitment. The general contractor, construction supervisor as well as the majority of workers, all formerly incarcerated, are responsible for recreating all 3,999 square feet, offices circling cubicles, a conference room just beyond, and down the hall a larger room that could be a banquet hall. At the grand opening, that space was filled with 50 bikes and electric cars for the opening week raffle. A few bathrooms and a kitchen complete the overview.
The space is designed so that there is privacy when needed but the spirit of conviviality and comradery is ever present. The Freedom and Movement Center is a space shared among people who agree on what is most important – children and families affected by parental loss to incarceration. It is a tragedy that is quantifiable. These Movement folks work hard and long hours to change outcomes.
Dorsey Nunn speaks at the Quest for Democracy at the capitol in Sacramento, where formerly incarcerated people and their allies have been very effective in educating legislators. – Photo: Wanda Sabir
To push their legislative goals, a Quest for Democracy Day is held annually, a time when Formerly Incarcerated People and Their Families (FICPF) converge on the state capital from throughout California – the tiniest cities and counties to the more sprawling municipalities. At last year's FICPF Movement conference in Miami, more than 900 delegates contacted 82,000 people in two hours by phone, text and knocking on doors.
What is compelling about this action is that those registering others to vote could not register to vote themselves. In Florida, 1.6 million people with felony convictions thought they'd never be able to vote again, but the organizing at the conference contributed to a huge victory at the polls last November re-enfranchising all those voters. Voter registration is just one of many campaigns LSPC has mounted over its 40 years.
With a $1 million budget, 18-20 employees – all affected by mass incarceration – and many volunteers, LSPC is no small player in the movement for justice for everyone, especially those forgotten by society: women, men and children in custody or on parole. Speaking last year, Nunn wiped away a few tears as he reflected on all the family and friends who did not live to see the day, yet here LSPC sits, stronger than ever to continue the work. "It is a marriage," Nunn says between "activism, litigation and policy."
One of several attorneys whose lives were shaped by LSPC and AOUON values is Bryan Stevenson, MacArthur Fellow and founder of the Equal Justice Institute (EJI) in Montgomery, Alabama. Last year, EJI opened the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum: From Slavery to Mass Incarceration. Another is former Oakland mayoral candidate Pamela Price.
At the Block Party last Sept. 1, there was live music on Market Street, chairs center stage for people to sit and eat and a tent with barbecue grills, the cooks serving burgers, veggies on skewers, chips, cookies and soda. Information tables about the organization were along one side, fresh popcorn popped into bags and then mouths as fast as a volunteer filled them. However, it was the bike raffle, tour of the Freedom and Movement Center and free chair massage by Back in Action, a resident business, that had the most activity.
Other allies in the work like Essie Justice hold meetings at the Freedom and Movement Center, AOUON has its general membership meeting every third Thursday at 6:30 p.m., and California Prison Focus, an organization that produces a highly regarded quarterly newsletter for prisoners and the weekly radio show Prison Focus on KPOO 89.5 FM from 11:00 a.m. to noon every Thursday, has since moved into the Freedom and Movement Center.

Krishna Iyer is no more. He has left behind us a rich legal legacy worthy of emulation. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest judges and legal experts that the world has ever produced. He was a great soul. His soul was in anguish for the millions of 'Dharithranarayanans' of the country. He was guided by Jerome Frank's theory that courts in a democracy do not belong to lawyers or the judges, but they belong to the people. Throughout his career as a judge, he stuck to this ideological base and his judgments bear open testimony of this unique stand.
A profound legal scholar, a prolific writer, a bold innovator, a powerful spokesman for social justice and Nyaya Panchayath system, Justice Iyer also strengthened the public interest litigation system that became instrumental in restoring the confidence of the people in the Indian judiciary. He was also a great philanthropist, a man who considered the whole world as his native land and all the people as his relatives.
Justice Krishna Iyer gave new orientation to the justicing process and innovated what he often referred to as 'Poverty Jurisprudence' or 'Dalit Jurisprudence'. He regarded law as an instrument of social engineering, a powerful tool in the hands of the society for the purpose of reaching social justice to the common man. He always held the 'little Indian' in his mind and whatever he did or said judicially or otherwise was directed solely towards improving the living conditions of the large masses of people in the country suffering from want and destitution.
He was not constricted or fettered by any traditional or conventional approach. He was prepared to break loose from artificial constraints imposed by the judges themselves on the basis of foreign jurisprudence. He wanted law and the judicial process to meet the challenges of the future, to become an instrument for the realization of the hopes and the aspirations of the people. In that pursuit, he liberally used Directive Principles of State Policy as code of interpretation to construe the constitution and the laws and was fully successful in his mission.
Any socially conscious judge, especially in a country like ours, needs to be resourceful, versatile, and experimental, in relating human problems to a complex background of modernity and tradition. In Krishna Iyer's judgments relating to death penalty cases, one can notice his passionate belief in the goodness of man, his intense humanism and his firm conviction in the potential divinity of every human being. Frankly speaking, the sentencing process got illuminated by his innovative interpretative approach. As a crusader for social justice and human rights, his heart revolted against any form of injustice or exploitation and he ceaselessly tried to wipe the tears from as many eyes as possible and bring cheer to the hearts of his fellow beings.
Krishna Iyer developed prison jurisprudence and humanized prison conditions. He openly held that bail and not jail should be the watchword of the criminal justice system. Right to legal representation at State expense in the case of indigent accused was placed to the status of a Fundamental Right by his progressive interpretation of the constitutional rights of the accused. The scope of right to silence and the prohibition against self-incrimination during police interrogation got articulated to the advantage of citizen's interests. That apart, prison labour, prison discipline and prison administration also received civilized and humane touch, as part of the correctional jurisprudence developed by him. Prisoners and jail birds owe much to this great benefactor. No longer will they have to rot in jails under degrading and inhuman conditions nor suffer the torture of iron bars or chains.
He always said that though judges are appointed and not elected, they are as much accountable to the people of India as the legislature and executive. He nurtured the firm view that the constituency of the judges is the people of India and the judges can never forget their primary accountability to the people. He evinced the combination of passion for humanity and high legal technique and in this he was like the great jurists of our legal tradition, Coke, Mansfield, and Denning. His judgments are often cited worldwide and drawn upon for their wisdom.
Justice Iyer was always a seeker after justice, one who was uninhibited by the judicial mantle. There are only few judges of the Supreme Court of our great country who occupied the permanent place in the mind and soul of the people. They are those who changed the streamline of courts. Undisputedly, the first among them is Justice Krishna Iyer, a socialist, a humanist, a progressive and an activist judge.
Throughout his life he never compromised with power. He joined the oppressed classes of the country and waged a war against superstitions, prejudice, and irrationalism and adopted and practiced scientific temper and a rational approach to life and its problems. An ardent pleader of Swadeshi Jurisprudence, he was not averse to receiving light from whatever source. As a social revolutionary, he was at perpetual war with traditional attitudes.
A Judge is exalted as law giver and prophet in the temple of justice. It is said a Judge must have the wisdom of Solomon, the moral vision of Isaiah, the analytic power of Socrates, the intellectual creativity of Aristotle, the humanity of Lincoln and Gandhi, the impartiality of the Almighty. Measured by these scales of expectations and qualities, truly speaking, Justice Iyer was an ideal judge.
Krishna Iyer justified judicial activism on the score that it strengthens Indian democracy, particularly when the courts are spurred by the conviction that legislative processes and administrative agencies have failed to bring society closer to the meaning of its constitutional values. He transcended the domain of jurist or a judge of law and became a Sage of law who has given us some clear vision of what the Laws should be, and are going to be, in the coming future.
Krishna Iyer was a human wonder. He was a man of passion dedicated to the downtrodden and toiling masses and at the same time had an extraordinary commitment to the discipline of jurisprudence. His sublime dedication was to truth, to compassion and to justice for the common man and woman. He extended juristic principles to the utmost in the service of the people, and this is discernible from his immense contributions in the areas of Industrial jurisprudence, Public health jurisprudence, Environmental jurisprudence, Human rights jurisprudence, Family law, legal aid and public administration.
He belonged to the rare brand of thinkers, with an analytical mind with piercing intellect. Whatever is the issue, political, social, economic or legal he brought on them a measure of clarity, originality and objectivity. He was the guardian of the poor, the indigent and the workers. He fearlessly defended the poor by his assertion that to be poor is not a crime. In his desire to render justice for the poor and downtrodden, he revolutionized the judicial process by introducing epistolary writ procedure.
Though Krishna Iyer has departed from us, he will always be remembered in the heart and mind of every little Indian for his significant contributions to the law and society. As homage to the great soul, let us all strive to build the Bharath that he envisioned; the great India that he longer for; where unity, fraternity, peace, harmony and prosperity permeates at all levels transcending religious, linguistic, regional and sectional diversities.

A Reading couple are pushing for answers after being struck down by suspected salmonella while on a dream holiday to Cuba.
Teresa and Eric Bridgeman had taken a special break to a five-star Cuban holiday resort to mark Mrs Bridgeman's 60th birthday.
But part of the holiday was ruined when the couple contracted suspected Salmonella during their two week stay at the Paradisus Rio De Oro in September 2018.
The couple have contacted law firm Irwin Mitchell to investigate their ordeal and push for answers.
Their symptoms were so severe that both were treated and placed on drips by the hotel's on-site doctor.
They also had further treatment on their return to the UK, with tests ultimately suggesting they had contracted Salmonella.
Mrs Bridgeman said: "While we had seen a few issues which concerned us, such as chicken being served undercooked on occasions and at times flies on and around the food, the illness still came as a major surprise.
"It started with headaches and a sore throat but soon developed into other issues like diarrhoea. It was a complete and utter ordeal.
"Shortly after my symptoms started, Eric then started to struggle and he was in a really bad way.
"We both saw the resort doctor and were placed on drips – it was just unbelievable."
Once they were back in Reading, Berkshire, the two were put on antibiotics and tests that were carried out suggested a salmonella infection.
While Mrs Bridgeman had time to recover, Mr Bridgeman had to battle through the illness as he had to return to his role as a self-employed scaffolder.
Mrs Bridgeman: "It was horrible to see how the illness affected Eric and he lost a stone in weight altogether.
"The flight home presented a challenge in itself, and unfortunately Eric was sick on the plane as soon as he smelt food."
"While nothing will change what we faced, we just hope that no one else has to go through this"
She added: "A particularly difficult aspect to take about the holiday was that we had actually switched to staying at this resort, after reports of illness emerged in relation to our original choice. Despite our efforts, we still fell ill.
"We are so frustrated and angry about everything that has happened and just feel that we deserve some answers.
"While nothing will change what we faced, we just hope that no one else has to go through this and that standards at the resort can ultimately be improved."
Jennifer Mullins, from Irwin Mitchell's specialist holiday illness team, said: "This is a shocking case with our clients opting to visit this resort due to illness elsewhere, but still ultimately falling ill.
"We are hugely concerned by the problems that they faced during this holiday and are determined to help them understand how these issues could have happened during what was meant to be a special break.
"It is absolutely vital that lessons are learned from issues like this so that other holidaymakers do not face similar problems in the future.
"We have already begun our own investigation into the holiday and are keen to determine what caused Teresa and Eric to fall ill.
"As part of our work and to assist with our investigations, we would be keen to hear from anyone else who may also have been affected by illness whilst staying at the Paradisus Rio De Oro Resort and Spa, Cuba."
Mrs Bridgeman celebrated her 60th birthday two days before the dream holiday booked through Thomas Cook began.
A spokesman for Thomas Cook said: "We were sorry to hear that Mr and Mrs Bridgeman were ill while on holiday.
"We take reports of illness very seriously and when the couple contacted us after they returned to the UK we asked for more information, including medical reports from their doctor, so that we could look into what happened.
"We did not receive any documentation and this is now unfortunately a legal matter."

Q: Laravel Eloquent returns empty model even though ID is correct so I have an Axios get request to this route:
/threads/test/{fooId}/get

which is handled by this method:
public function apiThreadsByTag(Foo $foo)
{
    dd($foo);
}

Foo is a model, and the {id} is indeed correct. But still, I get an instance of the model without any attributes:
Foo {#323
    #guarded: []
    #connection: null
    #table: null
    #primaryKey: "id"
    #keyType: "int"
    +incrementing: true
    #with: []
    #perPage: 15
    +exists: false
    +wasRecentlyCreated: false
    #attributes: []
    #original: []
    #casts: []
    #dates: []
    #dateFormat: null

    #observables: []
    #relations: []
    #touches: []
    +timestamps: true
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #fillable: []
}

However, it does find it in the database if I change the method to:
public function apiThreadsByTag($fooId)
{
    dd(Foo::find($fooId));
}

So, what could be wrong here? I'm very thankful for any hints!

A: I did everything correct. Well, except for the fact that I set getRouteKeyName() for the Foo model to another value and not the ID. So I had to give it this set value instead of the ID. Thank you!

General bye to the motorola triumph!
Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by jaimesco, Apr 25, 2012.
$120 Brand new Triumph from VMUSA website + $25 Grandfathered Plan = Great deal for cell phone service.. I may not have good service in some areas but I've never dropped a call. I have Wifi all around me so I don't need 3G.
Well i pay 35 dollars and get horrible service, why not change to t mobile i just got the htc amaze and im using it and it is a million times better than this crappy phone. It might be just my experience but the triumph was the worst phone i ever owned. Anyways thanks to all the developers that made this phone at least somewhat enjoyable, it was quite a ride.. Im still going to check this forum here or there because im still going to have this phone, and i really do hope that virgin mobile steps up there game.
If you want it to sell for sure, Ebay but you'll pay out the nose.
Swappa, if you want to wait forever.
CL is the best place IMO.
Whats a good price to sell it?
Id say $60 - yo can get them new for $125 (sometimes).
Just so everyone knows, Virgin Mobile is going to discontinue the old plans ($25/month) for any new smartphones that you swap with by May 27th. This also includes those of us that are grandfathered in.
If you do not plan on upgrading to a different phone with Virgin Mobile, then you will keep the $25/month plan until you discontinue the plan or switch to a new phone after May 27th.
I think that Virgin Mobile will probably be pushing out their new phones (HTC One V, Evo 3D, or whichever phone they do release...) at around June. I am only basing this off their change in grandfathered plans.
TL/DR: If you have a grandfathered plan ($25/month), you keep it (unless you upgrade to a newer phone after May 27).
Edit: You can upgrade to any phone that was released before May 27th and still keep the grandfathered plan of $25/month. But any phone released after May 27th, will get you on their new priced plans ($35/month).
Hey so if I bought a Triumph, even after May 27th, I can keep my $25/mo? Is that an official statement? BTW I'll buy the triumph lol I have the Optimus V, but I want a bigger screen and where did you buy a triumph for $125!??
Yes you can keep your plan even when upgrading to a phone that was on vm before may 27th.
And black friday the MT was $150 from vm but there were codes that would allow you gto get it for cheaper.
Yes, since the Triumph came out before May 27th, you should be able to swap and still keep your plan. However, I would wait until Virgin Mobile releases an official statement regarding the stipulations of this new news.
people are getting texts from VM... Isn't that enough?
Oh man, I wish I had known!! ( and sorry, I just wasn't sure if it was only for new "just released" phones or all "new to me" phones?
Totally agree..that's what the companies want people buying phones left and right..they must hate people who get a phone and actually LIKE IT!!!
Just remember that different people want different things from their phones. We're all different, and want different things.
As long as we remember that and keep it civil, everything is good.
This is just a reminder, everyone has been fine here.
PC Tech Owner Affordable computer repair.
This was sold and marketed as a smartphone,not a feature or basic phone,if people who purchased the truimph just wanted it to do was make calls that is a real waste of money,some also want a reliable service,VM somewhat failed at this,i live in NJ,home of Verizon and VM,the phone service worked great,but the data speeds where not something i could live with,or having to mess around with the Truimph to get things that should have been fixed and addressed to start.I moved on to Verizon and do not mind paying the extra for a superior phone and service.
xThatGuyZ and thebryceee like this.
I still don't see the point in people making post about how they are now leaving the community. Unless you're one of the developers I really don't care just move on and let the rest of us enjoy the phone.

Ben Duke
Ben Duke is a performance maker, choreographer and director of dance-theatre company Lost Dog Dance, based in East Sussex. Here, he talks to us about failure, the relationship between narrative and virtuosity and directing Barely Methodical Troupe's Kin.
"If I can just say this thing, I don't need to dance"
Tell us a bit about your work? What's not in your show copy?
With Juliet and Romeo, I wanted to talk about relationships, but I wanted to talk about relationships in a way that felt kind of honest… and I also wanted to offer something that was kind of muddy, but somehow optimistic. And actually, the show isn't that. The show takes a much more clear arc, and as a result, it simplifies lots of things that we wanted to say in the beginning. So I feel like if I'm really talking about the work honestly, then I would talk about the failure of it. I would talk about it like, 'It was meant to say this, but it didn't quite manage…this is where we got to when the premiere date arrived'. I suppose I know why that's not in the description, because it's basically a kind of spiral of doubt. It reflects the process and my uncertainty about the work. It opens up too many cracks and questions and basically, you're just watching someone unravel!
Can you give us an insight into your curating and devising process?
There's a lot of nothing happening, and kind of staring into space and waiting for I don't know what. There's mucking around playing games, sometimes just in order to do something. Moving, I guess, at the beginning of the day, making the body available to us for the rest of the day, even if we end up sitting on our asses. The idea that the body is kind of central is something I haven't quite cracked, but the idea of moving at the beginning of the day seems to be a way of doing that. Like we don't know why we're moving, we can just improvise. We don't have to generate material, we just need to kind of situate the body in the room and right here, so that later in the day, the body is still in a routine of finding.
I suppose directing feels like I need to be a bit more together, or I need to have a few more things up my sleeve, but ideally I want to work with people, or in an environment, where I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I don't like that feeling of standing in front of people and them assuming that I have answers. I like it to feel improvisational, like setting out exercises, and then watching them and trying to understand what I see in them. So if I'm directing, that's really to do with the people that I'm watching. I feel like if you watch people improvise, you can kind of find the thing, that is their thing, even if not immediately. The directing process doesn't feel efficient at all. It feels like I just have to trust that all of the shit that happens and all of the stuff that feels like it's noodling, somehow fills up and becomes the thing. Definitely with BMT [Barely Methodical Troupe] there was so much of that. I was just like 'we are not finished, this really isn't finished…but we've got to put this thing on stage'. So there's a lot of that. That felt like it was kind of straight out of the process and onto the stage.
Can you tell us a bit about your experience of working with circus? Your journey and learning. What was your first experience?
It Needs Horses is the piece that kind of began all of these circus conversations for me. I had watched some circus and I'd seen things like Archaos and stuff like that with juggling chainsaws. It Needs Horses began with this weird idea of it being a competition and a zoo, where you are watching human animals do weird stuff. For this, circus felt more relevant than contemporary dance, where we are often pretending that the audience isn't there. Circus has a very direct interaction with the audience and something which is explicitly entertaining or is very kind of upfront about the idea of trying to be entertaining, and being entertaining for money. I think the trapeze arrived quite early on and then we just kept putting Chris and Anna in the space with it. There was endless amounts of improvisation, and they came up with lots of crazy stuff. Neither of them had any kind of circus skills and we just kept replaying that moment of the drum roll and the lights going on and… 'What are you going to do?'
Working with BMT the process wasn't ideal, because my desire to direct and noodle around, was pulling against their desire to practice and perfect routines and tricks. They are really happy to be making things harder and trying things again and again. That was time-consuming, but I could see it was also kind of essential to the type of show they wanted to make. They want to put stuff in that needs practice, those kinds of tricks that pull you into the reality of the situation, of these people here, doing something incredibly dangerous… But meanwhile, any sense of character kind of flies out the window. And I couldn't quite find my way into that. Because I want to recognise what that trick does, but I also want to work out how an hour-long theatrical experience, that wants to take a narrative journey, can hold those things within it. They feel irreconcilable in a way. I'm sure they are not always, or maybe they are, but there's a kind of tension that you can set up between those things, which means that they're interesting rather than just kind of compromised. Nikki and JD was different because there were two of them and there was more time. The movement into the circus language felt a bit more fluid somehow, and also the subject matter and what they were doing felt more connected at times.
I think that relationship with virtuosity is really interesting. It took me until Paradise Lost to go – ''You know what, I don't actually need to dance. If I can just say this thing, I don't need to dance'. Because what is dance doing in this when it doesn't match the concept? I guess with ballet it's often the same. You have things like the Nutcracker where there are such flimsy excuses for narrative holding together a series of virtuosic acts. It's like a cabaret. I guess circus is the same. You spend all this time doing this thing, it would be so weird to do a show and not do the thing that you're really good at. I found that with BMT particularly, it was like their justification for being on stage was their thing. So between walking on stage and starting to do their thing, there is a gap and in that gap some performers are a bit lost. They're like, 'I don't know what I'm doing on stage. I don't know if I'm allowed to be on the stage until I start doing my thing'. I love those moments because they're so awkward and then suddenly the performer begins their act and they're full of skill and confidence… and then when they finish, they're a bit lost again. Dance has the same problem. We do not spend enough time looking at the idea of being on stage and what performing is, so we want to find ways for people to just be invisible until they're doing their pirouettes, and to vanish once they've finished pirouetting – hence the endless running on and off stage that we see in dance. We're not very comfortable with that 'nothing' space. But we should be, because it's so fascinating to see people on stage with nothing to do. It looks like a mistake, or a failure. I love failure and they [BMT] weren't that into failure. I loved the lack of skill and they had a lot of skill. I felt my pull towards failure a lot and I felt like some parts of Kin were kind of imitating the idea of failure, where people were pretending to fail rather than really failing. I guess the idea of virtuosity is always about showing things that I can do that you can't, and there's something in there which is challenging but people love going to see people do crazy shit. The question is how long for, I suppose, like, for how long is that interesting? It was such an interesting process and still remains fascinating. I think because of the failure.
Outside of theatre & performance, what influences the work that you make?
I'd say literature is probably the main one for me. Recently I have been taking other people's stories as a starting point: a book, or a play, or a story that I have a relationship with. Then the thing that I'm interested in is often kind of pulling apart or looking inside those things, or it's a slight rewriting of something well known. I also feel influenced by writers like Kurt Vonnegut who managed to write about serious stuff with a kind of humour and a lightness that I love.
(Laura): That makes me think of this scene in Paradise Lost, when you are making the world as God and then your kids are interrupting you. For me that's a really enjoyable sort of punctuation.
That was a kind of trying to be honest about the process. An idea that somehow finds its way onto the stage. I'm trying to think if I've stolen that from someone?… Stand up comedy by Stuart Lee is something else I have spent hours watching. He's constantly deconstructing what he's doing as he's doing it. There's something in that which I love because it does the opposite of what lots of theatre does, where it's like, okay, let's just pretend that we're in Russia, at the turn of the century, and let's just ignore the fact that we're in a theatre. I love the things that acknowledge that we're all sitting here, which is what circus does by its very nature – let's acknowledge that we're pretending to do this stuff. Storytelling as well. Storytelling allows that slippage between the two worlds.
Can you tell us about someone who has been influential in your journey as an artist?
It's two people I would cite specifically because they mark really important moments. One was a guy called Patrick Wood, who taught me ballet at Lewisham college. I was 25 and for some reason decided that I wanted to be a contemporary dancer and knew nothing about it. Lewisham College did this amazing foundation course, and I got in – I think they were perhaps short of men particularly that year. Patrick taught ballet, which I've always struggled with and had a complicated relationship with, but he took me seriously and I am always grateful for that. I was so inflexible. I was so uncoordinated. Just everything about it was wrong. But he took me seriously and he treated me as an artist and I absolutely loved that. He treated everyone like an artist. He had a big influence on me. Lots of teachers at The Place also had an influence on me, particularly Rick Nodine who taught improvisation. I was thinking of leaving because I felt that there was too much technique and I spent my time thinking 'I don't get it. It's too hard. What's the point?'. There wasn't enough connection to being on stage and I felt like I was just in a studio, practising for some mythical future event. Rick's classes were about improvisation and so it was a different kind of technique. He made me see very clearly this connection between performance and improvisation. That kind of cracked something open for me, which meant that the improvisation became part of my process, part of my practice, and it made me feel like I could see the link between physical practice and being on stage.

Made in Hackney: Inside Hoxton framing firm Jackson and Lee, which once mounted Thom Yorke's spoon
Published: 11:04 AM December 21, 2017 Updated: 10:44 AM October 14, 2020
Jackson and Lee's workshop in Hoxton - Credit: Jackson and Lee
Each week, the Gazette takes to the streets to unearth something being manufactured right here in Hackney. This week we visit Jackson and Lee's HQ in Hoxton
Among the more unusual objects Jackson and Lee have been asked to frame is a cup and spoon that Radiohead singer Thom Yorke had drunk out of for a super fan.
The team of five has also put a pair of painter's trousers and a collection of miniature submarines behind casing at their workshop in Long Street, Hoxton.
Owner Claire Nock has a fine art degree and used to make prints herself. She told the Gazette: "I have come full circle. Now I frame the kind of work I used to make."
Frames are usually made from tulip wood, ash or walnut. "The process is you bring us some work and we talk about how to mount it and then we choose a frame which gives enough space within the mount to do that," said Claire. "We often float mount. Generally it's the artwork that needs to shine out."
The shop is named after her old business partner, who runs Jackson's Art Supplies nearby, and Claire's great aunt who had a market stall in the West Midlands.


How are the skins performing with so many uses in one day? Some skins working better than others?
Skiing day was better than Japan in that the pitches are steeper and can really let the skis go, hopefully this link will work to a video which pretty well sums up the conditions.
Today three climbs just over 1200m total.
However, there's a lifetime's worth of powder filled slopes between 35-45 degrees - both alpine and tree - on Hokkaido with greater than 400m vertical descent accessible by touring.
Honshu has enough for a cat's lifetime.
Today climbed 700m to a peak and the guide earned his money today as he was breaking track in insane depths of fresh snow, only positive was that it was so light.
We again had Stephan (guide from Verbier) and his wife with us and he was gagging to help Dima cut the track (as he needs to get "guide fit") but Dima was having none of it, though when Dima dug a snow pit on the face we'd later descend Stephan took over.
And then on the second ascent (350m) he let Stephan lead as he was probably well fecked.
Depth of snow at 550m was 150cm and at peak circa 1020m 190cm.
Thought I'd given up on saying that was one of the best days of the year / season / ever but those words sprung to mind and it's great to hear another guide, all be it on holiday say similar, his Mrs was more euphoric!
Everyone's skins are holding up with the multi transitions though one guy lost one from under his jacket. I've just been stashing mine in my pack sans issue.
Have added a new style of transition to my repertoire standing on the ski I'm not changing (both feet on same ski) so I don't sink up past my knee.
Don't know if I've already said it but pace nice and mellow at 300m per hour so as not to break sweat and then get cold.
Once back in the valley we skin along the train tracks and there are so many freight trains carrying coal going back and forth ss there are no roads, adds a whole new dimension to skinning and the whole atmosphere.
Look forward to the TR on your return.
It sounds like the rest of the season could be a bit of an anticlimax for you after this.
Is this kind of snow this early usual in Siberia??? Potential new bucket list item!! Presumably it is "warmer" in Nov then Jan!!
On our way back now, so do have some internet here at the overnight stop in Abakan.
Been a great six days of deep cold smoking powder with a great team.
Spent time in Moscow Airport yesterday editing the final vid - I'll get round to more of a TR later.
Was a long journey back but feel reasonably refreshed this morning unlike last evening, even though I lost 7 hrs!
Suppose I should explain about the soundtrack to the vid, life in Luzhba revolves around the railway, it's the only way people / supplies etc get in and out and most days we skinned alongside the track - the start of the tannoy announcement was always three tones and I deduced that it sounded like the theme from The Saint TV series and then a bit more Googling and I found a "funky" version of the theme tune.
The goods train take nigh on 100secs to go pass and are made up of nigh on 70 trucks and are known as the Siberian Snakes.
Wow, and it's only November!
Skiing looks great, the lodge location is a bit "here's Johnny"
Are you planning to go back to the same place next year?
@Weathercam, out of interest, what device/software did you edit the video on?
Looked great. Was it all tree skiing or were there any open faces you could get up onto? Plenty of steep pitches?
My word. That looks awesome.
Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Looks epic! Planning next year? I thought this was a once in a lifetime trip originally.
A the start of your music explanation I was expecting the Hi-di-hi theme tune.
Terrain and topography looks a lot like Rogers Pass in Interior BC, Canada.
Cost breakdown would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Looks great! I'd be keen to see a cost breakdown too.
Beyond the fact it's all there in November and it's a different experience - what would you say were the selling points over Georgia/Caucuses or, say Lofoten. Presume snow in Lofoten is generally not the same quality.
@kitenski, yes this snow is frequently like this - hence their programme starts the week we went.
@kitenski, used a mixture of drone, smartphone and obviously GoPro and edited it on Adobe Elements.
@galpinos, pretty well all tree skiing but some open faces and steep up high but video not that good as definition not that good in the flat light, and plenty of steep pitches.
@jedster, I've done five trips to Lyngen over the years and maybe scored powder on a couple of days, majority was spring snow the quality of snow here was on a par with Hokkaido.
As for costs think Aeroflot flights were £650 that's London - Moscow - Abakan and baggage checked in all the way - and total cost of lodge and guide was €2,100 and that included all transfers of which there were many and hotel in Abakan on return leg on Saturday.
Food was plentiful, solid breakfast, and take as much as you could for lunch, then soup at 16:00 and sauna 17:00 onwards and dinner at 20:00.
I'll write up more later about the actual days, but pace was very very slow on the ascents as the idea was not to start sweating and then get cold, so we did about 300m per hour.
PS the skiing was pretty awesome all six days (and that's not just video from one day etc), but the whole week and that was confirmed by one of our group a guide from http://www.worldguiding.ch/teammanager Stephanie who traveled there with his wife and skied with our group who said that's quite rare to get such good consistent snow.
Looks like a fantastic trip. Very envious.
Cheers for the price breakdown.
Not unreasonable, but too rich for my blood.
Cost me £953 for a 10-day trip (8 days skiing) to Gudauri, Georgia all-in.
So if I was going East again I'd do a 14-day trip to Georgia taking in the resorts west of Tbilisi which would come in at around £1400 all-in, around £2000 if guides and/or heli time was involved.
@Mike Pow, Mike, what's your flight path been to Tbilisi? On search engines, it appears to be hellish from the US, but sometimes I can hack my way around some inconvenience if willing to roll the dice on 2 separate tickets (e.g., one itinerary to UK and then another from UK to somewhere beyond).
Looks good. It was on my list years ago, but they had a few wars and things, from what I remember.
A side note - you could maybe crank up the exposure on videos by a fair but - take a look at the luminosity, you're only using about half the dynamic range.
Great vids and thread. Thanks for sharing.
@Mike Pow, it's taking a long time and it's work in progress as it's turning into a bit of a novel, and I have not even got to the skiing yet!
But as a taster from the North Face The Great Siberian Traverse YouTube Video.
21:30 into it they feature these skis, which I have to admit to thinking it was all of a bit of setup but as you can see we did come across them more than once!
Work in progress on the link in my signature.
Looks like it's still delivering!
@BobinCH, that looks colder than when we were there judging by the way they're dressed, though difficult to tell but certainly looks like fresh snow.
I've now finished off the features - the first one is more about the preparation for the trip.
And the second is more of a travel report. along with some detailed images of the various sectors.
Yesterday Per the guide was round and I've told him I'll be up for the same trip next year though OH afterwards has made it very clear that "she" wants to do Japan again in 2020 with the guide we met this year, so will have my work cut out me thinks.
Finally, someone found where these crazy train station sounds come from. Thanks to Gavin Baylis for research and this fancy movie!
This is the final video of our great trip to Siberia. Suppose I should explain about the soundtrack to the video. Life in Luzhba revolves around the railway, it's the only way people / supplies etc get in and out and most days we skinned alongside the track. The start of the tannoy announcement was always three distinct tones and I deduced that it sounded like the theme from The Saint TV series and then a bit more Googling and I found the chords.


Map: How Much Do Your Local Teachers Earn?
Are they scraping by or making bank? Some data behind the education debate.
The Chicago teacher strike has resurrected the question at the center of much edupontificating: Are American teachers underpaid or overpaid?
For some perspective, we've compiled data on the average wages of elementary-school, middle-school, and high school teachers in more than 300 metropolitan areas. As you'll see, most teachers make more than $45,320, the average yearly wage for all occupations tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet the range of what they earn varies widely: Elementary-school teachers in Jefferson City, Missouri, earn an average of $37,090; their colleagues in Long Island, New York, earn an average of $90,560.

The external brick Roman complex, popularly known as the Markets of Trajan and today found in the heart of the modern city, has been miraculously handed down to us. Sited next to the great squares of the Imperial Forums the monument encompasses almost two thousand years of the city's history. The marks impressed upon its structure through time preserves the memories of the men and women who frequented, used and reused its spaces in so many different ways.
To maintain the cutting made into the side of the Quirinal Hill a complex system of anti-chambers on six levels was conceived. The structure exemplified the construction technique of cement pouring coupled with various types of vault coverings. Together they made for flexibility in the height difference through "lining" the cutting and at the same time provided the communication links between the monumental public spaces of the Antiquarium Forense (Forum District) and the dispersed residential quarters of the Quirinal Hill and the Subura (suburbs).
Due to the dismantlement of the raised sections, it is now all but impossible to perceive what the construction would have hidden, almost crushed, behind the western perimeter walls of its Great Hemicycle. Even with only a partial vision of the complex, now crowded out by pedestrian pathways and other buildings, we can only image the impact the 40 meter high Markets of Trajan must have had, especially when placed in its historical context.

I mean...Super Bowl is a lock!
Who needs a pass rusher when you can add another punter to the mix??!
I smell some trick plays on 3rd down where we line up Scott and Kaser at the boundaries and fake a pass and punt it.
Are we sending messages now? Is that what we're doing?
This is just too weird. My theory: Gute plans on activating either Davis or Kumerow from the IR. But they have to practice for two weeks before they can be activated. So use the open roster spot to have a punting competition for two weeks. After two weeks, cut the one that looks the weakest, and activate one of the WRs. I'm probably wrong.
Interesting they bring in some rando punter with Vogel still a FA.
Drew Kaser's name doesnt even exist in the 2018 punting stats.
Not sure exactly why that would be.
