Diane di Prima Brings the Women of the Beat Generation to the Forefront in a New Book
By Veronica Suchodolski • 03/03/19 9:00am
Diane di Prima's Spring and Autumn Annals, forthcoming from City Lights Publishers. City Lights Publishers.
On the Road by Jack Kerouac, often considered one of the most important works of literature to come out of the Beat Generation, begins: "I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up." It is these two events that spur the road trip that would put Kerouac on the map. The coding here is clear. The Beats, at their core, were men on the run from things—be it consumer culture, political anxieties, or, often, the women that they felt were pushing them towards these things. In keeping with Kerouac, the vast majority of celebrated Beat literature follows stories of such men, with women stuck on the sidelines.
It's not that women weren't Beats, or that they weren't writing. It's just that in a narrative dominated by men like Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Herbert Huncke, they're hardly ever talked about. Even a hugely prolific poet like Diane di Prima is little more than a footnote in the mainstream history of the Beat Generation, her 40-odd books relegated to one sentence in a buried subsection of the movement's Wikipedia page.
Subscribe to Observer's Arts Newsletter
Now, nearly three-quarters of a century since the Beat heyday, di Prima's new book, Spring and Autumn Annals, to be released in May by City Lights Publishers, promises to shine a light on the lifestyle of young women artists in 1950s New York City, with di Prima taking her rightful place as a leading voice of the Beat Generation.
A New York City native, di Prima was born in Brooklyn in 1934. She attended Swarthmore College for two years but dropped out, returning to Greenwich Village in 1954 to become a poet and, ultimately, join the Beat movement. During this time, she developed friendships with major players in the Beat Generation, including Kerouac, Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, and Frank O'Hara. She even co-edited the literary magazine The Floating Bear with Baraka for several years, solidifying her earned place among the legendary Beat writers. If this weren't enough, throughout her career di Prima has amassed numerous awards, founded a handful of arts institutions, and taught at multiple schools and colleges. Annals is only her latest contribution to a huge body of work that has been translated into more than 20 languages.
Di Prima originally drafted Annals in 1964 after her close friend Freddie Herko took his own life at the age of 29. In her grief, she began to write nightly letters to Herko, producing a stream-of-consciousness manuscript that she would later mold into Annals.
The book is a tribute to Herko, but it is also a tribute to all the writers, artists and revolutionaries who made up the Beat community that di Prima inhabited. Di Prima writes about her troubled marriage and the abortion that still haunts her today, about copy editing for the legendary Herbert Huncke and taking LSD, about falling in love with other women and making run-down apartments feel like home. Through her gifts for careful observation and diligent recording, di Prima's Annals brings readers into a Beat world not defined by men, but defined by di Prima.
Today, the idea of a woman defining a literary perspective for herself is perhaps not so radical. But much of Beat writing, even Beat writing produced by women, revolves around the men of the movement. Women play little more than a cardboard cut-out role in Kerouac's novels, with only his mother getting close to being treated like a human being. (Joyce Johnson recalls in her Beat memoir Minor Characters that whenever she asked Kerouac why he couldn't include women in his journeys, "He'd stop me by saying that what I really wanted were babies. That was what all women wanted and what I wanted too, even though I said I didn't." Yikes.) Perhaps this why Johnson relegates herself to the role of an observer in her own memoir, taking a backseat to Kerouac's ideologies. Even di Prima's earlier work Memoirs of a Beatnik has been criticized for relying "on a cultural fascination of these women as sexualized objects for Beat male subjects," as Literary Hub put it, and falling into the trap of embodying the very perspectives she may have been trying to subvert.
Diane di Prima's Memoirs of a Beatnik. Penguin
With Annals, which will be released in tandem with a new edition of di Prima's celebrated Revolutionary Letters, di Prima has the chance to expose a side of the Beat Generation that has remained largely unexplored. She can help shape our view of the vibrant role that women played in the movement, honoring their works that still struggle to escape the shadows of Kerouac and the boys.
Of course, it may even be reductive to circumscribe di Prima into the Beat boys club. It's not that di Prima wasn't a Beat in the 1950s, getting arrested on charges of obscenity for The Floating Bear and generally engaging in all the same activities as her male counterpoints. It's that di Prima's life as a poet began long before that, at age seven, and it seems that her aspirations have always transcended the static ideological rebellion that much of Beat literature engaged in. Indeed, her poem "First Draft: Poet Laureate Oath of Office," which she wrote after being named San Francisco's Poet Laureate in 2009, begins:
It is the poem I serve
luminous, through time
that celebration
of human breath
Through di Prima, the Beat Generation is still speaking. Only now, decades later, we're finally getting a fuller, more well-rounded story of who and what that means.

Supervisor Phil Serna is convinced that the focus is paying off.
"What a difference a year makes," Serna said. "We have made a thoughtful investment in the parkway, and we're seeing the fruits of it."
The county currently has 18 workers assigned to cleanup crews, compared to just four in 2017. It has 15 park rangers assigned to dealing with illegal campers, 10 more than last year. Crews now have heavy equipment at their disposal to remove garbage from campsites.
The result? Park rangers issued 1,173 citations for illegal camping from January through April, records show. That compares to 341 citations during the same period in 2017. This year's actions resulted in the closure of 741 camps.
"There are areas along the parkway that have been notorious for being illegal dump sites that now are free of trash, free of buckets full of human waste, free of used hypodermic needles," Serna said. "All indications are that this work is paying dividends."
But the county is not just clearing out encampments, Leatherman pointed out. As part of the initiative funded last year, the Department of Human Assistance is working with housing specialists to shelter and find permanent residences for homeless people who are willing to move inside.
"It's important, because if we don't work to solve homelessness, our problems are just going to continue," Leatherman said.
Homeless encampments exist throughout the parkway, but are most concentrated in the city stretch between downtown's Discovery Park and Campus Commons, near Sacramento State, Leatherman said.
Residents of those areas, as well as people who use the river and bicycle trail for recreation, have for years complained that burgeoning homeless camps have desecrated the parkway and increasingly have made it feel unsafe. Homeless campers have been blamed for committing crimes, lighting fires and contaminating the lower American River with potentially harmful levels of bacteria.
In the past, rangers forced people out of campsites, only to see them resurface in different locations along the parkway. Now the county is taking a different approach.
Rangers and housing experts are working with staffers from the county's Department of Human Assistance to convince homeless campers, some of whom have lived along the river for years, to abandon their tents and move inside. The county is contracting with the nonprofit Sacramento Self Help Housing to place former campers in rental homes that serve as shelters until they are ready to move into permanent housing, said Cindy Cavanaugh, director of homeless initiatives for the county.
Since March, about three dozen formerly homeless people have moved into the small shelters, which are scattered throughout the county, said Julie Field, homeless services program manager for the Human Assistance agency.
"We are focusing on the most vulnerable people out there," some of whom have severe health issues and disabilities, Field said. Among those currently enrolled in the program are five people who shared a river encampment and now "function like a family" in a home off Truxel Road near their former campsite, she said.
Participants in the sheltering program receive help obtaining documents, Social Security payments, health care and other services that will help put them on a path toward stability, said Cavanaugh. Each shelter accommodates five people, plus a "house monitor," officials said.
Because of all of the changes, parkway users "should be seeing a visible difference" in how the stretch looks and feels compared to a year ago, Leatherman said. "Yes, there are still homeless people camping on the parkway. But we are making progress."
Nancy Kitz, a Sacramento resident and frequent user of the parkway, said she supports the county's efforts. But so far, she said, she has seen little evidence that homelessness along the river has decreased.
"I applaud the county in its stewardship of the American River," she said. But despite current efforts, homeless people still occupy the parkway, and when their camps are destroyed they "are left to scramble like cats chasing a laser pointer," she said. "This really highlights the shelter crisis in Sacramento and the lack of other transitional housing.
"To properly respond to the environmental threats to the American River now, we have to respond to the vast human degradation that is taking place there as well," Kitz said.
Serna said the county's initiatives are a good start.
"I'm not proclaiming 'Mission accomplished,' " he said. "But things are a hell of a lot better than they were a year ago. We can declare true success when all of the people who once said they were avoiding the lower reaches of the parkway feel comfortable enjoying that area again. It's starting to happen. That convinces me we've done the right thing, and we ought to continue to do the right thing."

Professor Fuat Sezgin Passed Away in Istanbul
by News Desk	Published on: 1st July 2018
Fuat Sezgin - News - News Desk - Obituary - People -
The academic world has lost a great scholar. Below is an obituary predominantly based on a recently updated Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuat_Sezgin)
(Image Source)
Fuat Sezgin was born in Bitlis, an Eastern province of Turkey on 24 October 1924. He passed away in Istanbul on 30 June 2018. He is a world-renowned Turkish historian, who made a significant contribution to the history of Arabic-Islamic science. He obtained his PhD on Arabic Language and Literature at the Faculty of Letters, Istanbul University in 1950. He continued his studies at Frankfurt University, Germany. He was professor emeritus of the History of Natural Science at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany and the founder and honorary director of the Institute of the History of the Arab Islamic Sciences there.[1]He also created museums in Frankfurt and Istanbul with replicas of historical Arabic-Islamic scientific instruments, tools and maps.[2] His best known publication is the 13-volume Geschichte des Arabischen Schrifttums, a standard reference in the field.[3]
During his PhD, Prof. Sezgin worked under the German Orientalist Hellmut Ritter. His thesis titled "Buhari'nin Kaynakları"[4] (The Sources of Al-Bukhari) argued that, contrary to the common belief among European orientalists, Al-Bukhari's edition of collected Hadiths was based on written sources dating back to the 7th century as well as oral history. He obtained a position at Istanbul University, but was dismissed in the wake of the 1960 coup which removed and executed the then Prime minister Adnan Menderes. He moved to Germany in 1961 and started working as a visiting professor at the University of Frankfurt.[5] He was appointed professor at the university in 1965. Around the same time, he married orientalist Ursula Sezgin, who gave birth to their daughter Hilal in 1970
His research in Frankfurt focused on Islam's Golden Age of Science. In 1982, Sezgin established the Institute of the History of the Arab Islamic Sciences, sponsored and led by a Board of Trustees predominantly from Arab anfd Islamic countries. Today the Institute houses the most comprehensive collection of texts on the history of Arabic-Islamic science in the world. In 1983 Sezgin also founded a unique museum within the institute, bringing together more than 800 replicas of historical scientific instruments, tools and maps, mostly belonging to the Golden Age of Islamic science. A very similar museum was opened in 2008 in Istanbul.[2]
In 1968, Sezgin found four previously unknown books of Diophantus' Arithmetica at the shrine of Imam Rezā in the holy Islamic city of Mashad in northeastern Iran.
Fuat Sezgin is the author and editor of numerous publications. His 13-volume work Geschichte des Arabischen Schrifttums (1967-2000) is the cornerstone reference on the history of science and technology in the Islamic world. The 5-volume Natural Sciences of Islam documents the items in the Frankfurt museum. Since 1984 he has edited the Journal for the History of Arabic-Islamic Science.
Sezgin has argued that Muslim seafarers had reached the Americas by 1420, citing as evidence the inscription on a map and the fact that the high longitudinal precision of early maps of the Americas would not have been attainable using Western navigational technology.[6]
Sezgin received several awards, including the Turkish Presidency's Grand Prize for Culture and Arts in 2013, the King Faisal International Prize of Islamic Studies in 1978[5] and Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. He is member of the Turkish Academy of Sciences,[7] the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco and academies of Arabic Language in Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad.
On 24 September 2012, a square in a major district in the Turkish capital Ankara was named in honor of Fuat Sezgin. A memorial stone bearing his portrait in relief was placed in that square by the Metropolitan Municipality of Ankara and inaugurated in his presence and his wife Ursula.[8]
Recently on 12 May 2018, he was honored at an International conference held at Istanbul University entitled "Healing the Soul, Curing the Body-History of Medicine, Therapy in Transcultural Islam and Beyond". For details on this conference, see this link.
His funeral was attended by the President, Prime minister, ministers and many distinguished personalities.

We like to keep the group size as small as possible. Depending on the trip destination, our tours average 6-10 guests.
Safety is always first on our tours. All guides are certified by the Sea Kayak Guide Alliance of BC and are Wilderness First Aid certified. As well, our kayak companies invest in guide safety training and equipment maintenance. For communication in remote areas, our guides utilize VHF (marine) radios.
Is kayaking experience required for the trips?
While people with different levels of experience and ability participate, we mainly organize kayak tours rated at the novice level; at this level, kayaking experience is not required. On the first day of the kayak trip we provide kayaking and safety instructions before setting out on our adventure - as many of our guests are first-time kayakers, the guides are experienced with helping novice kayakers. We also offer some kayak holidays to individuals with higher fitness levels and experience such as those to the Queen Charlotte Islands. To find out whether a trip is suitable for you, please look at the itineraries of each individual kayak tour, which are rated from novice to expert.
Average physical health is required. Most of our kayak holidays are not strenuous or physically demanding and don't require a high level of fitness. However, these trips are adventurous and every day is different. On some days it might be a little bit more difficult to paddle than on others. If you have any health problems, let us know when you are making your reservation on the medical form so we can accommodate your needs and abilities. We recommend you check with a physician if you are in doubt about your ability to participate in a multi-day tour.
Individual fitness level is more important than age. However, we prefer kayakers be 12 years of age & older. Children from 5 to 11 years can be accommodated in the cargo hatch of a double kayak. If you have any questions about whether or not a person is old enough to participate in a particular tour, please contact our office.
How many hours per day do you paddle?
The amount of paddling per day depends on the destination, the group's abilities, weather and desires. Guests typically paddle between 4 and 6 hours a day; we paddle up to 2 hours at a stretch, stopping along the way for lunch, beach walks, swimming, hiking, washroom breaks, wildlife viewing or photos!
What sort of wildlife can I expect to see?
Vancouver Island is home to some very abundant and diverse wildlife populations. You will have the opportunity to see sea and shorebirds, waterfowl, whales, mink, otters, seals, dolphins, sea lions, raccoons, deer, wolves, cougars, bears and bald eagles. Some animals are more abundant in particular locations, so if you are interested in seeing a specific animal, please contact our office to see which tour is right for you. As an example, Grey whales and Humpback whales frequent the waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island. Minke and Humpback whales and orcas can be found off the east of the Island.
The Queen Charlottte Islands are rich in wildlife in the sky and sea and on the ground; Gwaii Haanas, where we paddle, harbours around 39 species of plants and animals not found anywhere else on the planet. Among the native species, expect to see black bears and river otters, birds such as bald eagles, Steller's jays, and peregrine falcons, and all kinds of ocean creatures, from grey and killer whales to jellyfish and starfish.
Are there showers and toilets while camping?
Some of our tours carry solar showers. Alternatively, they are inexpensive to buy ($20 to $50) and guests that prefer solar showers generally bring their own. Otherwise, you can also wash in clean fresh water streams and the ocean. We request you use biodegradable brands of soaps and cleaners to protect the environment. Dry toilet facilities are available every night.
We can carry a surprisingly large variety of food and ingredients in our kayaks. Our guides always prepare wholesome and fresh meals. Sometimes we catch our own fish and gather other seafood to introduce our guests to the famous coastal cuisine. Check out our sample menu.
What if I'm a vegetarian or have special food requirements?
No problem, we welcome vegetarians and others with special food requirements. All we ask is that you clearly indicate your needs when you fill out your booking form online.
The best defense against poor weather is excellent preparation. Once you register, you'll be forwarded a Trip Preparation package, which will tell you what you need to prepare for your kayak trip. If the weather looks threatening to the point where it could compromise safety, we wait it out.
Do I have to paddle in a double kayak, or can I have my own?
We use both single and double kayaks on all of our guided tours. However, doubles are recommended for novice kayakers.
All of our tour dates offer unique experiences. The tour dates have been carefully chosen to avoid high use areas and times as much as possible. July and August are the busiest times for any tours, while May, June, September and October are shoulder season times.
Time spent in camp is a large part of the wilderness experience and as such we strive for sites that provide you with solitude and a view. Camps are always set up in an organized manner with comfort in mind.
Do you do custom tours?
Custom tours can be arranged for groups of 2 or more. Please make plans well in advance to ensure that we can accommodate your group. Contact our office to discuss your vacation.
No. Our trips are designed to be enjoyed by people who have never paddled before. Our guides will give all clients an introduction to paddling skills and safety practices before we are on the water. During the trip our guides will continue to help you improve your paddling skills and will also provide tips to experienced paddlers who want to improve their skills. Our Central Coast Expedition is the only exception to this, for this trip some previous kayaking experience is necessary.
What type of Physical condition do I need to be in?
You do not need to be in super physical condition to enjoy one of our trips. All that is necessary is a reasonable level of general fitness. Kayaking does not require great amounts of strength, more important is the proper paddling technique that our guides will help you develop. Your enjoyment of the trip will be enhanced if you are able to do regular exercise before your trip. Swimming is a great exercise to prepare your paddling muscles. More important than the body is the mind. Our trips take place in wilderness settings and we occasionally need to adjust our itineraries to comply with the whims of nature. You need to be prepared with both a positive outlook on life and a sense of adventure.
The amount of paddling we do each day varies with the weather conditions, tides and currents, possible wildlife sightings and how much paddling the group wants to do. On average we paddle about four to five hours each day. This allows us to enjoy the kayaking experience while still leaving ample time to explore the beaches, read a book or do nothing at all. While each of our trips do have itineraries, we try to remain as flexible as possible for the greatest amount of enjoyment for the entire group.
We pride ourselves on the menus we provide. All meals are prepared by your guides using the freshest ingredients possible. Pasta and rice dishes predominate our meals with ample servings of fresh fruit and vegetables. If we are lucky we may supplement our meals with fresh caught seafood. You can also expect to enjoy fresh baked goodies almost every day. With advance notice we can accommodate most dietary restrictions.
The summer months on the west coast are usually warm and sunny, but it can occasionally change to windy and rainy with very little notice. All of our camping equipment is designed to keep us comfortable in the varying conditions that can be expected. We provide you with a detailed list of the personal clothing you should bring. When properly prepared you will still have a fantastic time even if the weather is less than perfect.
We use top of the line fiberglass sea kayaks, made by Seaward Kayaks of Ladysmith, BC and Current Designs Kayaks. We use a mixture of single and double kayaks on our trips. On a full trip with 8 guests you can expect to have 2 doubles and 4 singles available.
We provide all kayaking, safety, camping and dining equipment. To ensure you have a good nights rest we provide roomy 3 person tents (2 people per tent), Therm-A-Rest Sleeping pads, mummy style sleeping bags and comfy camp chairs. We provide all of the same on our base camp tours but upgrade the tents to roomier 4 person tents (still only 2 people per tent), thicker and wider sleeping pads, roomier barrel style sleeping bags and pillows. Lists of recommended personal items and of items we provide are provided to make packing easy.
All of our trips have a maximum of eight guests and we will provide two guides to lead each trip. Our guide to client ratio and total group size is smaller than most other tour operators. This is for both the clients' benefit, as it allows for greater individual attention, and for nature's, as it minimizes the impact we have on environmentally sensitive areas.


An outdoor kitchen is a place outside of the house where an individual can cook and prepare a meal, and clean up after. People use it to entertain, perhaps an outdoor party or just to save energy.
Outdoor kitchens make for entertainment. It makes it easier for you to invite family and friends over for some meal. Why? They say, working together to make a meal and then enjoying the fruits of your labor around mother nature is something memorable for everyone at the table.
Also, it is also less crowded. If you're having a birthday party or a get together inside your home, no doubt people would rub into each other, but when it's outside, you get freedom – it disables cramping.
It makes cleaning up easy, with an outdoor kitchen, you don't worry as much. Not to say you shouldn't clean at all.

Kansai Electric to decommission two Ohi reactors
Overhaul works would be too expensive at $7.3b.
Japanese utility Kansai Electric has filed a detailed decommissioning plan to the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) for the Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 nuclear reactors in Fukui prefecture (Japan). The decision to decommission the two units was announced a year earlier on grounds that the overhaul works required to extend their operating life and implement safety upgrades would be too expensive and cost an estimated JPY830bn ($7.3bn).
Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 are rated 1,120 MWe (1,175 MWe gross) each. They were put into service in 1979 and are nearing their standard operating life of 40 years. Both had been offline since the Fukushima disaster in March 2011 and they were removed from the list of Japanese commercial reactors on 1 March 2018.

The Ohi nuclear power plant includes four pressurised water reactors (PWRs), all of which were shut down in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. In 2017, Kansai Electric secured the approval from the Fukui Prefecture and the NRA to restart Ohi-3 and Ohi-4. Ohi-3 resumed commercial operations in April 2018 and was the sixth Japanese nuclear unit to be restarted after clearing the country's revised safety regulations since the Fukushima disaster in 2011.

I've been loving these biscuits lately, they are very easy to make and bake in no time. Joud is now happy to lend mummy a hand, tasting & setting up for a photoshoot, & of course using biscuits as building blocks! oh dear, how much joy she brings to my heart. I promised myself that I would never stop her creativity even if it becomes messy as long as there is no harm to her. I do lose my patience at times, but usually cool down shortly & start something else together. So I love how she likes doing whatever I am doing & just trying to participate, even if that means in many cases my job has to be redone, but hey, life has to have some fun right? I wouldn't ask for a better companion.
Mix the almond meal, shredded coconut & oats, then add the rest of the dry ingredients.
Finally, now add the honey, olive oil, & water, mix until mixture is combined well. It's very important to add the water, in order to get all the mixture held well together.
Shape in small balls & flatten with the palm of your hand.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 mins, or until golden. Leave to cool completely before storing in an air thigh container.

Erdstrom showed off why she has "Dancing Scimitar" in her name. Not that it did any good against Sebas.
Shaltear wasn't allowed to join the fun because Demiurgus worried about her blood frenzy. She understood, but wasn't happy about it.
Erdstrom and the other elite assassins were pretty smug before Sebas one-shotted each of them in the head.
Hilmas woke up to a disturbing stillness in her mansion. Then she got dragged out by the hair.
A misunderstanding got two factions battling each other instead of the Eight Fingers. Momon, the alter ego of Ainz Himself, dropped in to further confuse things before the season finale.

Historique

Lors de la formation du premier gouvernement de la première république de Côte d'Ivoire, en janvier 1961, le président Félix Houhouët-Boigny endosse, en plus de la fonction présidentielle, le portefeuille des Affaires étrangères. Occupant d'abord seul cette fonction, il effectue de nombreux déplacements à l'étranger ; notamment à Paris, en avril 1961, pour signer un traité de coopération et des accords de coopération (dont un accord d'assistance militaire technique) entre la France et les États du Conseil de l'Entente (la Côte d'Ivoire, le Dahomey et le Niger – excepté la Haute-Volta). En mai 1962, Félix Houphouët-Boigny effectue une visite officielle, de deux semaines, aux États-Unis, d'abord à New-York puis à Washington où il est reçu par John Fitzgerald Kennedy. La même année, il effectue des voyages diplomatiques au Royaume-Uni, en France, en Israël et en République fédérale d'Allemagne.

À partir de février 1963, à la faveur d'un remaniement gouvernemental technique, Félix Houphouët-Boigny s'adjoint un ministre délégué aux Affaires étrangères, Camille Alliali. Ce dernier conduit alors la politique étrangère de la Côte d'Ivoire érigée par le président Félix Houphouët-Boigny jusqu'en janvier 1966.

Lors du remaniement de janvier 1966, installant le quatrième gouvernement Houphouët-Boigny, Arsène Usher Assouan – précédemment représentant permanent de la Côte d'Ivoire auprès des Nations unies – devient le premier ministre des Affaires étrangères de plein exercice. En 1977, il est remplacé par le diplomate Siméon Aké ayant lui aussi occupé le poste de représentant permanent de la Côte d'Ivoire aux Nations unies pendant plus de dix ans.

TIP! If you're seeing too much action where you are with the ball, pass it to someone who isn't surrounded by action. This will give the player several seconds before defenders move towards them.
Discovering soccer is a great experience. You love it, or you would not be reading the article in front of you. If you are seeking to improve your skills, it is crucial that you learn the fundamentals. Read on so that you are able to learn all that you can to become a great soccer player.
Find cleats that fit perfectly when on the field. They need to be snug, but provide arch support. Also, the cleats need to let ankles move freely. Getting ill-fitting cleats may actually cause harm.
Use the inside of the foot to kick the ball for short passing. For long passes, kick using the front of your feet, around where your laces are. That gives you lots of power.
TIP! If you want to be on the primary soccer team, show some team spirit. Don't ever give up, run with vigor, help out your teammates and inspire others.
Always look for times to practice. Make it a habit to bring along your soccer ball and whenever the moment strikes, take it out and practice those drills. Just directing it with your feet when you're walking from one location to another is a great form of practice.
Soccer is a sport played by a team. Don't become selfish or forget this while playing. By playing the game just so you can be the hero without regarding your teammates, you will likely be a hindrance to the team. Instead, you should keep the team in mind when playing. The sacrifice you make for your team can be the best way to success.
TIP! It is important that you use all the different parts of your foot while you are playing soccer. Use your instep and the front of your foot when you're dribbling.
If you want to be on the principal soccer team, show how combative you are. Do not give up easily, keep moving, defend, attack and be a team player. Letting the coach see that you are willing to collaborate with teammates will boost your likelihood of being picked.
TIP! Think like a team player, not an individual. Soccer needs an entire team of effective players, so that's why it's important for everyone to keep the team goals in mind.
When playing soccer, you should learn how to utilize every part of your foot. When rapidly dribbling, the instep and front of the foot will mainly be used. To better your dribbling, learn how to properly use the outside and inside of both of our feet. This allows you to cut the ball from defender pressure much easier, with more control.
Learn from players who are better than you are. Practicing with experienced player will help you improve your soccer skills. Ask what you can and learn from them. Soccer players enjoy helping each other since they are team-oriented people. If there are no experienced players in your area, check out other clubs and don't be afraid to ask for help.
Don't only play soccer outside. When you play soccer indoors, you're playing on a smaller field. Due to this, you must improve ball control and think quicker. When you move your game to outdoors, you'll see that those skills have improved.
Work on communication amongst the team while on and off of the field. Don't overlook this potent weapon. You have to be able to quickly and easily communicate your intentions when an opening appears. Aim to learn all the different terms in order to inform your teammate of your intentions. For example, yelling "through" to your teammate will inform him that you intend to run between two defenders so you can receive a pass from him.
Learn the proper way to kick a soccer ball. It's not enough just to kick the ball. Kick toward the ball's bottom if you want it to go high up in the air. Use your toe to get beneath the ball and lean backwards while kicking upwards.
TIP! It's important to know exactly how to wash your goalkeeping gloves. Soak them in warm soapy water for an hour or so.
To break through a tight defense, you have to triangulate. Keep the ball moving rapidly between teammates to keep the opponents confused. It's will be easier to deal with a tight field when you work on team effort. Be ready to assist a teammate who is trying to cause confusion among the opponents.
TIP! When you make mistakes, learn from them and play better because of them. Videotaping your games can help you see what you did wrong.
Knowing how to maneuver your body is very important. Leaning right when going left can trick your opponent. Do not neglect using your arms; moving your arms around can trick the defensive players who are attempting to steal the ball or prevent you from passing or shooting.
After reading everything in this article, now is the time to practice what you discovered. Keep in mind that commitment and dedication are critical. Remember what you've read here to improve your game and to become a more efficient player.


I am an online software developer who does freelancing through an online portal. I started this last year but achieved success only this year. I found a very good client who said he has a job chain for me. I have enough reasons to believe him because he has already purchased more than 200 projects via this freelance portal.
I made a kind of dictionary application for him which converts English to French. He said he will add the words, and I need to the "technical" part of the program. In the beginning, I did not think about this much, so I added a few words and completed the work, but now he is asking for the source code.
I assume he needs the code for adding the words, but I am not sure. He said this will be an ongoing project, and I should have a lot of tasks from him after this. But, if I give the source code, how could it be a ongoing project for me?
This client is very very important for me because this is the third job I did for him. He normally goes for high payments and the payment is also super quick; this time he paid me even before I started the work!
So, how can I handle this situation? There is a risk I can lose him.
Since you do not want to loose this customer, for this single time give him the source code.
Politely mention that it was not formally agreed upon about the ownership of the source code, but you are still giving away the source code to create goodwill for future projects.
After giving the code hope for the best. Be ready for the worst. We all have to learn some things the hard way some time.
Next time always write it in agreement that who owns the code and charge accordingly.
When I am coding for a customer I am always giving him the source code. The binaries alone are no of value except I plan to make a product out of it and want to sell it multiple times. If I am paid per hour my customer owns the source code without a doubt. If you worked as a freelancer for your customer to create a program for him, he most likely does own the source code already. Or do you have a different agreement?
Personally I would give him the source code as he might need modifications, bugfixes, extensions and support. Except you want to be paid for adding words to your program. As long as he is happy with your work, he will keep on going to give you work (assuming it is like that if he paid you upfront).
Realistically, there are usually two halves to most coding projects, a customer-specific portion (usually front-end, or highly specialized backend) and some generic backend libraries, like XML-RPC communications or graphics manipulation.
The code that is customer specific is usually of little value to anyone but them, and that code I happily hand over.
The backend libraries, however, are usually things I'm developing for multiple clients and to serve as the value proposition to future clients. That is, I can tell future clients that I already have a framework that does most of the tedious stuff or the heavy lifting, and all we need to write is code specific to their goal. Then I license the backend to them, usually with something very open like the BSD license. They get a snapshot of the source and a license that gives them nearly all the benefits of owning the code, while allowing me to use the code again in future projects.
I always suggest an ESCROW agreement if the client wants the source code. This is an agreement whereby they can have the code only if we cease business etc.
7 How do I respond to client asking for retainer back?
1 How can I collect payment from my client?

'Mother.' My incredibly horrified reaction to Lawrence's thriller film
MOTHER! Trailer (Extended) - Image credit - FilmSelect Trailer | YouTube
The allegory of god and his false prophets is portrayed through love and murder; spoilers.
by Melyn Mchenry (article) and Jane Flowers (video)
February 12, 2018 at 2:06 AM Mon 12 Feb 2018 02:06:51 AM EST
'Mother!' is a convoluted horror story with many gruesome scenes - Video
While I myself am not a woman of religion I am able to recognize the symbols of a Christian god and his followers within the movie "Mother!" starring Jennifer Lawrence as the captivating lead. The plot of the movie is gut-wrenching despite having no intense action as compared to a movie such as "Hunger Games" but it relies heavily on the human psyche and hidden details. Lawrence's character is an unnamed wife who tends to an old style home while her husband struggles to put words on a page to publish his next poetic piece.
Approximately just over nine months passes throughout the whole of the movie, however, as an audience we see about three days plus or minus some daylight hours total on screen. Lawrence's character is a shy, crowd rattled woman who would rather spend her days alone with her husband and avoid any company within her space.
When an overly interested man comes along looking for a place to stay he rudely brings his wife home with him to spend some nights.
They make a mess around the home, rudely persist into unauthorized areas and even break a precious crystal that the husband owns from a childhood disaster. Later, the strange couple's children track the parents down aggressively to fight over the father's will.
A rough fight spins out of control after a few quick minutes of introduction to new characters and the female lead is traumatized into watching a man die before her eyes at the hands of his brother.
The husband, along with the two strangers rush the dying son to the hospital while the murderer is set loose in the woods leaving Lawrence's character alone and afraid.
The man who killed his brother startles Lawrence's character as she finds disturbing, bloody holes and spatters around the home and she is saved in the nick of time by the arrival of her husband. The two fall into an argument about communication and even the fact of whether they wanted children or not and the female lead accuses her husband of not wanting to have sex.
An aggravated push and pull of kissing and biting leads to the characters making love and getting pregnant with no complications.
The plot skips ahead almost nine months and the next scene shows Lawrence's character showing a rather round belly as her husband proudly shows off his finished poem. This leads to a dinner celebration in the evening and things go rapidly and dangerously downhill once the husband decides to let a crowd of fans invade their home.
Superficially the final arc of the movie appears to be a fan riot gone horribly wrong. The fans break things within the home, they loot and burn and push and shove leaving the female lead distressed and fearful. Police arrive and a shooting takes place. Even men in riot gear storm the home and the lead finds herself pinned against walls multiple times as she tries to find safety for herself and the baby.
Men and women are being shot all around her, dying in all corners of the home, and just as this all happens the life inside her tries to break free. Lawrence's character is found by her husband, pulled upstairs, and hidden away in the husband's study to give birth to a beautiful boy.
The next day the three hide within the study as the female lead keeps her son tight in her arms, but exhaustion finally takes her over and the baby is taken from her by the husband to be displayed like a king to the obsessed fans outside the door.
\When the wife sees this she races to get her son back but the crowd is anxious to touch him, to hold him, and in their excitement, the baby's neck is snapped and he dies instantly. Lawrence's character screams in agony and disgust when she finds the body on a table ripped to pieces as his body is consumed by the circle of fans around her.
In a rage of heartbreak and horror, the wife runs into a boiler room and ignites the entire home in flames in an attempt to kill herself and all those around her. In the end, the last people standing are a burnt up wife and the wholly cleaned husband holding her in his grasp. He tells her he loves her, tries to make her understand that the love they received was well worth the death of their son, but the wife begs him to end it.
In compliance, the husband rips out the wife's heart and crushes it to ash, revealing the pure crystal from earlier which he places back on his mantle, restoring the house to as it was before and revealing a new wife to take Lawrence's place, indicating the whole situation would replay for all eternity.
Hidden symbols
While the movie did leave me with an upset stomach and a racing heart I was able to pinpoint the religious symbolism hiding in plain sight throughout the entire film. In brief, the husband represents God himself with the wife being his lover or rather Mother Earth. The home in which they live is the earth itself and the fans are the loyal followers to the gospel, with the crystal representing the forbidden fruit of Eden.
Mother Earth is loyal and loving to God, just as the wife adores her husband and listens to his rules. She forbids the strange couple from going into the husband's study-Eden-and touching the delicate crystal from the husband's past (the apple from the garden of Eden). When the couple breaks those rules and subsequently breaks the crystal, the husband (God) loses his temper and banishes the couple from his home and from his previous compassion. As God is known for doing, however, the husband forgives the couple and holds the hand of their son as he dies later in the film as the Christian God would do for any of his followers (if that's their belief).
As the movie continues more symbols are revealed as is done in the scene where the wife finds hidden holes and broken walls within the home that lead her to see disgusting or dirty effects of having guests in her home. This compares to the earth in which we live where the earth provides us with a blank slate and Mother Earth tends to the earth and introducing humans to the setting results in destruction and violence.
During the funeral party, this is expanded on when the wife pleads with a couple to get off her sink and they ignore her. The couple even bounces on the sink to prove a point and the end result is a broken sink and horribly cracked wall and the wife throws a tantrum to send everyone out of the house. In reality, it's the way the Mother Earth we can imagine, might react with global warming and hurricanes etc in response to us humans ignoring the environment around us and simply doing as we please.
Finally, the end of the movie holds the most power in terms of symbolism. Once the wife gives birth, her son is a messiah to the fans inside her home and she desires to keep him close and keep him safe. On the other hand, the God or husband in the film wishes to take the boy and flaunt him to the crowd to show what other beauty he is capable of creating aside from his poetry.
The zealot fans lose control of their faith and love, and kill the day old infant as a result, crushing and blackening the heart of the wife and destroying the capability of tenderness she had for her home, for the earth, for her child, and for the people her husband wants to take care of. The symbol hidden here is of God wanting love and adoration from his followers because he gives them a message they may interpret as they please, and Mother Earth's desire to protect what she must (her home and her child)
When neither of those desires can be realized, the wife sets her home ablaze and her husband lies her down in his arms. From here the religious tone takes over as Mother Earth lies burnt in effect of human senselessness and God remains untouched and unburnt.
He rips out Mother Earth's burnt and damaged heart and crushes it to take back the apple of Eden (the crystal) and he places it back where it came from in his garden (the study). The world around him turns from black to white, burnt to cleaned, dead to alive and he is given the chance to start again, forgiving the sins of his followers and allowing them to have another chance at his love at the cost of Mother Earth's life. She herself us reborn with the world so she may try again at nurturing the home, her earth, and has a new face to match the new world.
While I may not speak for all of those who follow the word of God, it is hard to say that there is absolutely no Christian symbolism woven into this movie. It was slow, fast, intriguing, and completely horrifying all in one sitting. I recommend watching it for the literary standpoint, though I do send caution as there are several gruesome images throughout.

I had a cache that was driving me nuts, it had just been replaced after being pinched, a supposedly easy find with an obvious hint. No joy. Second visit, no joy. I even climbed into the flipping tree. Placed a watch and for the next week it was constantly being found. Drove me insane. A few weeks later the found it logs ceased and the DNFs flooded in. I assume all the found its were either fibbing or a bit shoddy in their log keeping schedule!
I see logs often where the person has made it GZ so claimed a find – makes me wonder if they realise there is actually something to find there….perhaps a flow-on effect from users who have downloaded the app, but never really been introduced to the 'game'?


What does it mean to feel grounded with nature?
We often hear the saying "I feel grounded" and we may not take it for its literal meaning. As humans, we need to feel close to nature. Our bodies freely transfer electrons from the bottom of our feet to the soil. It's a natural occurrence – that warm feeling we get when our bare feet touch the ground. The simple act of feeling connected to nature is an innate feeling that dates back to our early ancestors.
When we feel ungrounded and disconnected with nature and its forces, we tend to lose track of items and our energy feels misguided or uneven. Frequently, we feel as though we are moving through life without making conscious decisions. We become forgetful and begin to ignore the signs of both physical and emotional pain.
How to Create a Sense of Grounding.
Take a moment to think about a moment when you felt safe. Was it in the comfort of someone's arms? Was it laying in bed watching the rain? Or was it a time in your childhood when the rain boots were covered in muddy circles? Think of a time when you felt centered, at peace or connected to nature. That moment when you felt safe and connected is the same moment you felt grounded.
Work with Soil and Clay.
Feeling the earth beneath your feet can help bring focus back to nature. Feel the warmth between your toes or hold clay between your hands. Feel it mesh between your fingers and close your eyes as you feel the texture. Try and articulate its texture using words.
The saying "get back to nature", frequently comes to mind in our efforts to find a deeper connection with nature, but what does it really mean? Getting back to nature can mean a variety of things specific to the individual. Taking a moment to look up at the sky and appreciate its beauty can bring clarity to the present moment. Taking a walk on a trail unfamiliar to you can bring awareness to your surroundings and allow you to experience new scenery. Sit quietly on the ground (preferably with no shoes) and imagine your arms are long branches. Raise them upwards and reach for the sky. Imagine you are walking gracefully along the side of a river bank, feeling the water trickle beneath the heels of your foot.
Research and Eat Grounding Foods.
Gaia discusses that all our chakras are built on the Root Chakra (Muladhara). The Root Chakra deals with feelings of survival, trust, and security. It is red in color and the four-petal Lotus flower is it's symbol. It connects us with our physical body and its nourishment.
Eating foods with the seasons or eating to satisfy your Root Chakra is highly recommended as it helps keep our gut bacteria intact. Eating wet and hydrating foods in the summer rejuvenates our insides. Eating vegetables grown deep in the ground during the colder months warms our insides. Vegetables like radishes, turnips, potatoes, onions and garlic have a warming effect on our bodies and will satisfy our Root Chakras.
Finding ways to feel grounded with the earth helps our mental health. We find a sense of security when we our nourishing our body from the inside out.
