Sarah Gambito's latest poetry collection, Loves You (Persea Books), with The Essential Rumi.
Kundiman is the classic form of Filipino love song —– or so it seemed to colonialist forces in the Philippines. In fact, in Kundiman, the singer who expresses undying love for his beloved is actually singing for love of country.
Love, we know, is complex: communal, exhalted, ruined, & political. Here is a collection of poems written by Asian American authors that wrestle with the myriad and complex ways that we think and feel about love.

Federal Executive Committee
NSW Senate Candidates
SA Senate Candidates
VIC Senate Candidates
Lower House Candidate (VIC)
How To Vote VEP
2013 Federal Election Campaign Candidates
2018 BY-ELECTION IN WENTWORTH
The Voluntary Euthanasia Party (VEP) nominated several candidates at the 2013 Australian federal election: six candidates for the Senate (two each in New South Wales, the ACT and South Australia); and a candidate for the House of Representative seat of Solomon in the Northern Territory.
Dr Philip Nitschke (2013 Senate Candidate)
Philip has campaigned for many years for the introduction of sensible and compassionate voluntary euthanasia legislation in Australia. As the doctor who worked to introduce Australia's first legislation, the short lived Rights of the Terminally Ill Act in the Northern Territory in 1996, then as the only medical practitioner to use this law to provide four of his terminally ill patients with a peaceful death, Philip is uniquely positioned to see the benefit to society that follows the implementation of such legislation.
Philip has a background in physics and medicine and has worked as a doctor for many years in the Northern Territory. He recently moved to Canberra with his partner Fiona, and their dog Henny. As a foundation member of the Voluntary Euthanasia Party, he will stand as the VEP Senate candidate in the Australian Capital Territory. His goal is to repeal the discriminatory Federal law, now in place, that prevents all Australian Territories (the ACT, Northern Territory and Norfolk Island) from ever passing future voluntary euthanasia legislation.
philip@vep.org.au
Susan MacDougall (2013 Senate Candidate)
I have been a Canberra resident since 1967. I am 71 years old and strongly interested in the issue of voluntary euthanasia law reform. I have been a member of Exit International for about ten years.
In 2003, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition, which means that my body is attacking itself. While it's not immediately life threatening, I didn't know at the time how long I had to live - I thought it was 4 to 5 years, although I'm still here now. I didn't want to go slowly and painfully, so I searched around and found Exit International. It was obvious that the law would be slow to change and would fail to help Australians who want a painless end of life choice in the near future. Hence, I developed a long-term commitment to changing the legislation to provide choice for a peaceful death, free from suffering, when the end of life is imminent and inevitable.
susan@vep.org.au
Shayne Higson (2013 Senate Candidate)
Shayne is a photographic artist and someone who usually expresses her political opinions through her visual art. Although she has always believed in the principle of dying with dignity, it was following the death of her mother in late 2012 from an aggressive brain cancer that Shayne became passionate, and vocal, in her support for the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill in New South Wales.
Shayne told her story, along with many others, in the hope that politicians would respond to the overwhelming community support and introduce new laws to allow medically assisted dying for terminally ill patients who are experiencing unbearable suffering. When the bill was defeated in the NSW Upper House 23 – 13, Shayne was bitterly disappointed but determined to continue the campaign for law reform.
Shayne has never been involved in politics, however, she has always been willing to step up and be a voice for her peers, be that as a student representative at school and college, as a board member for various arts organisations during the 1980's, and later on parent organisations and school P & C's.
Shayne was born and raised in Sydney but currently lives on the Mid North Coast of NSW. She is a caring daughter, sister, partner and mother and is proud to be the Senate candidate for the Voluntary Euthanasia Party in New South Wales, providing a voice for the thousands of families and carers who have watched loved ones suffer unnecessarily at the end of their terminal illness.
shayne@vep.org.au
Loredana Mulhall (2013 Senate Candidate)
My name is Loredana Mulhall and I have been a dedicated advocate for voluntary euthanasia for many years.
I am a 64 year old, medically retired English teacher and have lived with multiple sclerosis for 35 years. I am now confined to a wheelchair and am unable to move any part of my body but I am able to blow and sip through straws to move my wheelchair and I am currently relearning to use my computer using my mouth.
Earlier this year I led a social media campaign in a bid to generate community support for the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill in NSW. I am now happy to be able to stand as the second Senate Candidate in NSW because I can say that, as a person with advanced MS, I know what I am talking about in regard to voluntary euthanasia.
I want people to know that I am not giving up and I don't want to die now, but I'd like the choice when I'm ready and I know other people in my situation want that choice too. While I can still speak, I want to use my voice to help others find peace and dignity.
I am not a politician but as a child of non-English speaking parents I am familiar with the role as a spokesperson. I feel that this is a great opportunity not just for me but for people with disabilities who are unable, too shy or lack the language skills, to speak for themselves.
loredana@vep.org.au
Max Bromson (2013 Senate Candidate)
Max commenced his oil industry career as a representative for Caltex in 1968 in Clare & Broken Hill. In 1974 he acquired the Caltex Broken Hill & Gladstone distributorships, distributing fuel in Gladstone, through Eastern SA, Western NSW, North Eastern NSW, Northern SA, from Pt Augsta, Whyalla, Marree, Coober Pedy, to Oodnadatta. He has a very good working knowledge of South Australia & its regions. He sold the business in 1990 & worked as a consultant to the new owners for 3 years.
During his time in Clare he won a Knapstein medal in 1971 & worked as board member & vice captain playing with North Clare football club. An Active member of Lions club. During his years in Broken Hill he was actively involved in the community as a footballer at Central Broken Hill participating in several premierships & received his life membership in 1979. He was a generous sponsor of the 4 football clubs, the umpires, the St Johns, the famous Broken Hill Wheelbarrow push. The 2BH MAX BROMSON BDT Sportstar Awards were sponsored by Max in association with the Radio station & the Barrier Daily Truth.
During this period Max served on the APADA Oil Agents State Board for 8 years including 2 years as State President SA, Receiving the OOFERS Australian Award. The balance of his working life was spent consulting in Fuel, Gas & Wine industries. Max served in the CMF during the Vietnam war and is still an active member of the RSL.
In 2000, Max donated one of his kidneys to his brother who was suffering long term renal failure. Tragically, three days later Max's second wife was run down & killed by a drugged driver outside the hospital on her way to visit him.
Max has a grown up daughter & son & two lovely grandchildren. Sadly, Max is currently suffering with a rare bone cancer. This positively reinforces his attitude to euthanasia. He fully understands the meaning of pain & the shortcomings of palliative care. Max lives on the mighty Murray river near Mannum.
Mike Boerema (2013 Senate Candidate)
I am a practising veterinarian working in the field of artificial breeding of livestock. I have businesses involved in the dairy, beef and wine industries.
I would be proud to be a Senator for South Australia and able to represent those who would like the choice to be able to end their lives with dignity. Recently my mother died after contracting Alzheimer's Disease. Her slow lingering death with an emaciated body was a real stimulus for me to join the VEP.
I have taken on leadership positions in my profession and in my community and have always enjoyed the challenges these have given me. I am comfortable dealing with people and have good negotiating and listening skills. These attributes will be important in bringing about change in Parliament.
My aim is to repeal the federal law which prevents all Australian Territories from ever passing future voluntary euthanasia legislation. This would be a major stepping stone towards state legislation in support of voluntary euthanasia.
I also believe that an independent Senator from a strong minor party like the VEP, particularly with my close connection with agriculture, will be very beneficial for South Australia.
Martin Burgess (2013 Candidate for Solomon)
Martin has been a committed supporter of voluntary euthanasia legislation for many years. As a resident of Darwin, he campaigned in 1995 for the introduction of the Northern Territory Rights of the Terminally Ill Act. Like many Territorians, he was devastated when this legislation was overturned by politicians in Canberra, and resolved to do all he could to see these laws reinstated.
Martin, 70, was born in Zimbabwe, but has been an Australian citizen residing in Darwin for many years. Martin set up and ran a therapeutic and sports massage business in Darwin until serious illness forced him to retire. While cancer surgery has given him a slight extension to his life, it has not been curative, and he is now facing a limited life expectancy. Martin has decided to use this time campaigning as the VEP candidate in the Northern Territory seat of Solomon to draw attention to the failure of politicians and their parties to recognise the electorate's support for voluntary euthanasia.
While he realises that change may come too late to be of any benefit to him, he is hopeful that his participation as a candidate in this 2013 Federal election will prompt politicians to seriously consider their position and support real change for the benefit of others in his position in the future.

Many students don't feel comfortable being curious at school. They've learned that asking a question might make them look foolish, slow down the class, or even upset the teacher. So if you want curious students, you have to retrain them to be curious again. You have to spend some time creating a culture of curiosity. This mailing list will give you some ammo.

Anaheim City Council Unanimously Approves $75 Million Bond Measure
By Aykis16@Aykis16 Mar 29, 2011, 8:24pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Anaheim City Council Unanimously Approves $75 Million Bond Measure
Tonight, one of the few roadblocks that could've prevented a possible Sacramento Kings relocation was removed, as Anaheim approved a $75 million bond measure to entice the Kings to come to Orange County. No member of the five-member city council voted against the measure.
The bonds will be paid for by Anaheim Ducks Owner Henry Samueli, with $50 million going to the Maloofs to cover relocation costs, and $25 million going to improvements on the Honda Center. The Maloofs will have 10 years to pay off the bonds. This way, there is no risk to the city or Anaheim Taxpayers if the Maloofs default on payments. All risk is assumed by Samueli.
The City of Sacramento tried to stop the vote yesterday by sending a letter to Anaheim to "cease negotiations" with the Kings but it was ignored.
"Anaheim took a giant step closer to bringing an NBA team to Anaheim and the Honda Center," Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait said after the vote. "I am thrilled. The better word is 'stoked.'"
The only remaining hurdle in the way of a Kings move involve NBA approval of the move if they file (a majority vote is needed out of all 30 NBA owners, including that of the Kings) and possible relocation fees associated with the moves, which will also be decided by a majority vote.
Historically, getting a vote approved hasn't been a problem. The last three relocations have come with relocation fees of $30 million. But moving to Anaheim is a unique situation in that two other NBA teams (Lakers, Clippers) play a mere 23 miles from the Honda Center. It was reported recently that a Kings move to Anaheim could cost the Lakers 10% of their new TV deal, rumored to be worth $3 billion. Ten percent is $300 million. If true, it's just one more reason the Lakers would want to make sure they get as much money as possible. Clippers owner Donald Sterling also would be against a move, as his team already lives in the shadow of the Lakers, and more competition could hurt business.
If the Lakers and Clippers ask for exorbitant territorial fees, as they probably will, and more importantly, get them, it could scare the Maloofs out of making the move for now.
But for now a move to Anaheim looks all the more likely, if not inevitable.

~~Sammy Davis Jr.
The project will be based on the 1965 Davis memoir Yes I Can: The Story Of Sammy Davis, Jr., penned by Burt Boyar with Davis and his wife Jane. Davis' life is rich source material. Born in Harlem to a pair of vaudeville dancers, he joined the family act and continued to perform in the Army during World War II. He recorded blues albums and in 1956 starred on Broadway in Mr. Wonderful. By the late 1950s he became a member of the famed Rat Pack alongside Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. A string of movies followed. Davis was almost killed in a 1954 car crash in San Bernardino that cost him his left eye. During his recovery he began studying Judaism and he converted in 1961.
The series is free, but audience members are encouraged to bring cans of food as well as new toys and school supplies, which will be donated to such community organizations as All Faiths Food Bank, Toys for Tots and Title 1 schools.

MS-13 Gang Member with Assault Convictions Removed to El Salvador
ICE, May 8, 2017
Ingmar Guandique-Blanco
A 35-year-old El Salvadoran man was removed to his home country Friday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers.
Ingmar Guandique-Blanco, a documented MS-13 gang member, was transferred to the proper law enforcement authorities upon his arrival in El Salvador. Guandique traveled via ground transportation from Virginia to Pennsylvania where he boarded a flight to Alexandria, Louisiana. From there, ICE officers removed him from the United States onboard an ICE Air Operations flight, which departed Alexandria International Airport in Louisiana, and made its way to San Salvador International Airport in El Salvador.
"Mr. Guandique unlawfully entered the United States, and once here, continued to violate U.S. laws by assaulting innocent victims," said Matthew Munroe, acting ERO Washington field office director. "As a result of his actions, he has been removed to his home country of El Salvador."
Guandique unlawfully entered the United States at an unknown location and on an unknown date. His criminal record is lengthy, dating back to May 2001 when he was arrested on local charges by Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. In February 2002, he was sentenced to 10 years of incarceration on each of two counts for assault with intent to commit robbery. In February 2011, he was sentenced for first degree murder, but after requesting a new trial, his case was later dismissed.
On June 30, 2016, ERO Washington officers assumed custody of Guandique from the Washington, D.C. Central Detention Facility after the murder charges against him were dismissed. He was subsequently issued a notice to appear in immigration court. On March 3, an immigration judge issued Guandique a final order of removal which enabled ICE to remove him to El Salvador.
Prior to his removal, Guandique was detained at Farmville Detention Center in Virginia.

This photo gallery showcases sailing photos of Multihull World Series 2011 – Act 7 Nice France. This nautical event draw thousands of spectators to the famous Promenade des Anglais. Extreme Catamarans had to race in light winds and perhaps this was a challenge for the teams, but for the general public watching from the beach it was great. High performance Extreme 40 boats were chasing each other very close to the shore. These catamarans are very light weight and built with carbon fiber. They can reach speeds of upto 35 knots and are specifically designed for coastal close to shore races to promote the sport for general public.
Nice, France was a perfect location for such a race and for taking great nautical photos. The bay in Nice is called Baie des Anges – Angels Bay and famous Promenade des Anglais runs along its shores. This venue can easily and comfortably accommodate thousands of spectators. There many cafes and restaurants setup right on the beach, where you can sit back and relax, have a lunch, snack and have a great view of the bay and the race. Catamarans are have brightly colored hulls and beautiful sails. It is a pleasure to watch and photograph.
The catamarans are easily assembled, disassembled and shipped in a 40′ container that allows to have several racing venues during the course of the year all over the world. For example in 2014 there are 8 racing events planned from St. Petersburg, Russia to Singapore, from Cardiff, UK to Sydney, Australia.

Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin
Lohengrin was first performed in 1850, and is certainly a Romantic opera in the strictest sense. It is based upon the legendary romance of the 13th century of Lohengrin, a knight of the Holy Grail, who is sent in a boat pulled by swans to rescue the maiden, Elsa, who must never ask his name. The young King Ludwig II of Bavaria was so moved by Wagner's opera that he more or less bankrupted his country in order to build the famous castle, "Neuschwanstein", that is so beloved by today's tourists to Southern Germany. >>>
Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg
Many—perhaps, most--of the respected and honored composers left little of themselves behind to speak for them except their immortal music. And that's usually enough. But no great composer found the time to write, speculate, theorize, philosophize, and generally inflict his ideas expressed through the written word, as did Wagner. Much was brilliant and influential—and some was simply evil rubbish. His theories and the model of his own compositions changed the world of nineteenth-century opera in profound ways, brought to fruition in his great tetralogy—the Ring. >>>
"Prelude and Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde
"Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walküre
The works of Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi together largely dominated the important world of nineteenth-century opera. But the two could not have been more different in almost every regard—save that of musical excellence. Verdi built simply upon the traditional elements of Italian opera and took them to new heights of dramatic artistry and coherence, gradually incorporating some progressive reforms of the medium as he grew into old age. Wagner, on the other hand, after his early attempts, and some real successes thereafter, embarked upon an unprecedented, new theoretical thrust in opera composition that changed forever the history of music. While Verdi had long Italian tradition to draw upon, Wagner took upon himself to build upon Carl Maria von Weber's seminal work, De >>>

On 23 October, ESA published photographs made during the August eclipse on its website. The eye-catcher is a 'chromosphere flash spectrum', captured during by ESA's expedition team monitoring the eclipse in Casper, Wyoming, USA. During an eclipse, with the Moon temporarily obscuring the overwhelming light from the Sun's photosphere, the normally invisible red hue of the chromosphere can be analysed. The chromosphere is the atmospheric layer directly above the turbulent surface of the photosphere. The image can be obtained with the last and first light of the solar limb, just before, respectively after the eclipse is total. This gives rise to the name 'flash' spectrum, as measurements have to be completed in a matter of seconds.
At the exact moment this photograph can be taken, the Sun's emission can be split into a spectrum of colours, representing the fingerprint of different chemical elements. The above image was produced by the very first solar limb observable after the totality – and the time to take it was exactly 1/30 of a second. An image of the eclipsed Sun is on the left, with the spectrum of each point of the Sun superposed at the right.
The strongest emission is from hydrogen, which includes the red hydrogen-alpha emission visible on the far right, and in blue and purple to the left. In between, the bright yellow corresponds to helium – which, incidentally, was seen for the first time in a flash spectrum captured during the 18 August 1868 total eclipse, although the element was then unknown. It would take three decades to discover the element on Earth, while it is now thought to be the second most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen.
But the eclipse was not only observed from Earth: astronauts aboard the International Space Station, and ESA Sun-watching satellites, enjoyed unique perspectives of this spectacular sight from space. One such views is the shadow of the moon on the Earth.
As ESA explains, total eclipses are made possible by a quirk of our cosmos: the Moon's average distance is just right for it to appear as the same size in the sky as the Sun. Though the Sun's diameter is 400 times that of the Moon's, it is also 400 times further away from the Earth. This is the reason that when the Moon aligns such, as to be directly between the Earth and the Sun, it appears to cover it completely. The Moon blocks out the Sun's light, creating a total solar eclipse for those along the narrow path cast by the Moon's shadow.
