Learn what the boys say about the program.
Safe Harbor was founded "accidentally" 30 years ago when a judge asked the founders, Robbie and Doug Smith, to care for a troubled boy on their large sailboat, instead of that boy being sent to juvenile hall for the weekend. The judge, a friend of Doug's, wouldn't take "No" for an answer, even though the Smith's were retired and about to embark on an around-the-world trip on their boat. The success of that weekend triggered more pleas by the judge for the Smith's to help more boys, until the Smith's needed more help. A nonprofit program was launched and formalized in 1984. Safe Harbor is now an established charitable nonprofit maritime-based boarding school based in Jacksonville, Florida. It utilizes maritime principles, discipline and seamanship as a therapeutic model for helping turn around at-risk teenage boys. Safe Harbor provides a safe, structured, and exciting alternative to therapeutic boarding schools and harsher juvenile programs.

Q: How does one show that the set of rationals is topologically disconnected? Let $\mathbb{Q}$ be the set of rationals with its usual topology based on distance:
$$d(x,y) = |x-y|$$
Suppose we can only use axioms about $\mathbb{Q}$ (and no axiom about $\mathbb{R}$, the set of reals). Then how can we show that $\mathbb{Q}$ is topologically disconnected, i.e.: there exist two open sets $X$ and $Y$ whose union is $\mathbb{Q}$?
If we were allowed to use axioms about $\mathbb{R}$, then we could show that for any irrational number $a$:

*

*if $M$ is the intersection of $]-\infty, a[$ with the rationals, then $M$ is an open set of $\mathbb{Q}$

*if N is the intersection of $]a, +\infty[$ with the rationals, then $N$ is an open set of $\mathbb{Q}$

*$\mathbb{Q}$ is the union of $M$ and $N$. CQFD.

But if we are not allowed to use axioms about $\mathbb{R}$, just axioms about $\mathbb{Q}$?

A: The rationals is the union of two disjoint open sets $\{x\in\mathbb{Q}:x^2>2\}$ and $\{x\in\mathbb{Q}:x^2<2\}$.

A: $(\mathbb{Q},d)$ is metric space. Since connceted metric space having more that more than one point is uncountable and $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, $(\mathbb{Q},d)$ must be disconnected.

A: A la Cantor's first proof of uncountability of $\mathbb R$:
Fix an enumeration of the countable  set $\mathbb Q$. In the following, expressions like "first rational" refer to this enumeration.
Let $a_0$ be the first rational.
Let $b_0$ be the first rational bigger than $a_0$.
For $n=0,1,2\ldots$ do the following:
Given rationals $a_n<b_n$ let $c,d$ be the first two rationals between $a_n$ and $b_n$ (such numbers exist, e.g. $a_n<\frac{2a_n+b_n}3<\frac{a_n+2b_n}3<b_n$).
Let $a_{n+1}=\min\{c,d\}$, $b_{n+1}=\max\{c,d\}$. Note that this implies $$\tag1a_n<a_{n+1}<b_{n+1}<b_n.$$
Let $$\tag2U=\{x\in\mathbb Q\mid \exists n\colon x<a_n\}, \quad V=\{x\in\mathbb Q\mid \exists n\colon x>b_n\}.$$
Then $U,V$ are  nonempty open subsets of $\mathbb Q$ with $U\cap V=\emptyset$, $U\cup V=\mathbb Q$:

*

*nonempty: $a_0-1\in U$, $b_0+1\in V$

*open: $x\in U$ implies $x<a_n$ for some $n$, implies $y\in U$ for all $y$ with $|y-x|<a_n-x$. Similarly for $V$

*disjoint: Assume $x\in U\cap V$. Then $b_n<x<a_m$ for some $n,m$. Repeated application of (1) produces $b_{\max\{n,m\}}\le\ldots \le b_n<a_m\le\ldots\le a_{\max\{n,m\}}$, contradiction

*covering: If $x\in \mathbb Q$, then there is an index $m$ at which it occurs in the enumeration of $\mathbb Q$. If $x$ is not among the first $2n$ numbers $a_0,\ldots a_{n-1}, b_0,\ldots,b_{n-1}$ selected, then either $m>2n$ or $x$ is not between $a_{n-1}$ and $b_{n-1}$. The first option is ruled out for $n$ big enough, the second implies $x<a_n$ or $x>b_n$, hence $x\in U\cup V$.

2016 RPM Editor's Picks, Part 1 of 4
by Chad Pelley
Batch 1: three collaborations, 2 couples making music together, and plenty of spins on pop, folk, and hip hop
Chris Meyers & Kate Lahey – The Room That Held You Is Still Here
Such an arresting album from a couple meant to be creating, singing, and playing together. This is the stuff of a Sunday morning on the couch, piecing your world together. There's an ache and a mood not only in the songcrafting but in the recording method of these songs – they're paired better than a Jeremy Charles dish.There's some adventures in vocal play on a few tracks too, that work wonders. Simplicity shouldn't work this well – the bare songs need nothing more than they already have.

Pet Legs – Radiation Fog
This is a great electro-pop album, and better still, pop with substance and atmosphere. (And yet another musical couple in the city: Rebecca Cohoe and Ian Murphy). Radiation Fog is a strong cross-section of modern pop sounds, alongside some great breezy-rock bass and guitar tones that at times conjure up a softer Best Coast. Pet Legs have their very own, well-nuanced sound that crosses more musical barriers than their Canadian contemporaries, and passing the mic back and forth helps to diversify that sound. Play the peppy opener "Coastlines," and follow it with the affecting "Radiation Fog."
Click here to stream or download it. Sample track, "Coastlines"
Plaid Boys – Self-titled
Don't like Hip Hop, hey? Me either, but slap on this batch of hot hip hop jams and you'll rethink the narrow-mindedness of that stance. Plaid Boys are some of the city's best hard rocking musicians – like Devon Milley and Ashton Whitt – collaborating with other per track guests like Mike Simms, Matt Cull, and Badge.Everyone's got their method for an RPM: these guys recorded Devon's 10 drum tracks at Peter Easton's, and then built their 10 songs around the drum beats back at Ashton's place. It's legit, and the bass and drums that drive it are proof of Whitt and Milley's co-writing potential. This album is way up at the top of the crop for RPM 2016.
Click here to stream or download it. Sample track, "Beast in the East."
Laura Jean Fraser – Good Grief
Good Grief conjures the distinct sounds of interesting contemporaries like Hello Blue Roses or Joanna Newsom,and tracks like "Rat" and "Harsher World" put Fraser's strong voice in the fore by layering and parting the thing. The vocal arrangements in "Rat" are particularly cool as the song plays out. There's some really nice uke and guitar playing on the album too, see songs like "Sparkle" or "Folly," it's nice enough that the songs don't feel lacking in texture, or spare in a bad way.Her nice work on the instruments also means the 4 interludes on the album don't feel like interludes usually do – skippable filler. They come off as nice musical interludes that add to the album-listening experience. This is a real gem and a terrific sound to sit and contemplate your life to …
Click here to stream or download it. Sample track, "Sparkle."
Shop Class – Industrial Arts
For a lot of participants, the RPM Challenge is a chance to stretch a different musical muscle, as is the case here for Greg Hewlett (of Boat Haus)'s collaboration with Tim Callanan. It's "two buddies who'd been wanting to make music together for years finally pulled it off," Hewlett says, "and the pairing came out even better than expected." They've managed to make a very fresh and modern sound, quite unlike anything the city is producing right now. They share the mic back and forth song by song, and every song sounds different than the one before it, yet all under the same umbrella of whatever kind of new indie pop sound they're wrangling here. A solid effort that'll hopefully become more than a one-off RPM.

And one of Tim's, "Sleepless Now"

Australian Network on Disability
AND Rebrand
New looks for one of the country's most trusted diversity brands
The Australian Network on Disability (AND) work alongside organisations so that they become more confident and prepared to welcome people with disability into their organisations. With 4 million Australians now classified as having a disability, there has never been a greater understanding and acknowledgement of the need for service providers in the inclusivity space.
In 2015 AND celebrate its 15th year of operation. To mark this occasion they engaged Taste to reinvent the brand to reflect their current position, and used the opportunity of their anniversary to launch the new look and feel. This project was a complete rebrand, with all of their logos and entire visual language up for change.
AND's identity was reflective of how inclusivity brands are visualised at the moment. It celebrated community and used colour to conjure a feel good mood within communications. The challenge was to retain the essence of the original design, but re-invent it to reflect that the industry has progressed dramatically and inclusivity is a more sophisticated and complex topic than it was 15 years ago. The new identity needed to not only align AND with its members, but also reflect best practice accessibility standards.
Honouring the original design we used six coloured angled bars representing the breadth and complexity of diversity. Each of these unique bars were connected together to create a unifying ribbon symbolising the networks created by AND.
This was a great opportunity for us to not only create a new logo but to also design a full suite of print and online collateral ranging from business cards, brochures, annual report, all the way through to a new look and feel for their website.
The new direction was launched in 2015 and paves the way for a dynamic and confident visual positioning of the brand within the disability sector.
"The new direction successfully reflects the brand's journey to maturity and positions the organisation as a dynamic and trusted advisor."
