This Sunday is called "Gaudete" Sunday — "Rejoice Sunday". This comes from the readings we hear today, and it underlines an important point. In the Gospel, we hear John the Baptist telling different groups what to do - they must repent, and change their lives. We might think of this as a rather joyless thing - something which is hard and unrewarding. The message of this Sunday is that repentance and changing our lives to welcome Jesus is something richly joyful. When we are planning to welcome anyone we love to our homes, we set about cleaning and preparing for their visit with enthusiasm - nothing is too much trouble for someone we care for greatly. Even scrubbing the bath or polishing the furniture can be a happy and joyful thing! The message of this Sunday is that preparing to welcome the Lord - even though it may involve hard work - is something utterly joyful, be cause of our love for Him, and His love for us.
There is a remarkable image in this reading: "The Lord your God... will dance with shouts of joy for you." Play with this image in your minds for a while, picture it, and see how it makes you feel! How would you set this reading to music? What sort of music would it be? Surely something triumphant and dancing, full of energy and irrepressible enthusiasm! You don't need music to convey such an understanding of these words: without going over the top, it's not difficult to "paint the picture". Just be careful not to get carried away - such a reading still needs to be delivered at a steady pace. Notice that there are two sections to this reading: the first half talks about what has happened - the Lord is in Jerusalem, the sentence is repealed. The second half talks about the future, when God's work will be completed, and the wonderful news comes to the Holy City.
It's amazing how sometimes the simplest words are full of comfort. The first sentence of this reading is such a phrase: "I want you to be happy..." Perhaps you could spend some time quietly saying these words over and over again, and seeing how they make you feel and think about our God. Paul is speaking very simply and clearly in this reading, which means it pre sent few problems. It should be taken very slowly - making sure that these simple words get lodged deep into people's minds and hearts. There is also a great tenderness in what Saint Paul is saying. In your mind, put a full stop after "…prayer and thanksgiving", and treat "That peace of God, which is so much..." as a separate sentence. This reading can offer a moment of peace and beauty to your congregation: read it with sensitivity and care.
Pieter Breughel the Younger "The Preaching of the Baptist in the WIlderness""
523 "Saint John the Baptist is the Lord's immediate precursor or forerunner, sent to prepare his way. "Prophet of the Most High", John surpasses all the prophets, of whom he is the last. He inaugurates the Gospel, already from his mother's womb welcomes the coming of Christ, and rejoices in being "the friend of the bridegroom", whom he points out as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world". Going before Jesus "in the spirit and power of Elijah", John bears witness to Christ in his preaching, by his Baptism of conversion, and through his martyrdom."

Men's Basketball: Northwestern falls to Purdue on Senior Day, 70-57
Daily file photo by Alison Albelda
Dererk Pardon scores two points. The senior center struggled in his final home game.
Greg Svirnovskiy, Reporter
Dererk Pardon teared up as he entered the court at the new Welsh-Ryan Arena for the final time as a Northwestern player. As he watched the tribute video prepared for him and his fellow seniors on the Jumbotron and heard the crowd sing his name in unison, Pardon let it out.
"It's something I can't really put into words," Pardon said. "Just seeing the journey I've had over the last four years, it's just been amazing to me. I never thought I would be here. So just for me to go through these experiences with my teammates, I wouldn't give it up for the world."
Pardon finished the game with 8 points and two assists on 3-11 shooting to go along with three turnovers. He attributed his sloppy performance to the emotions of the game.
But what he couldn't have imagined was the night going even more poorly for senior forward Vic Law, who was carried off the floor late in the game with a lower body injury after colliding with a Purdue player. With NU's best two players struggling or out of the game altogether, the Cats (13-18, 4-16 Big Ten) fell 70-57 against the Boilermakers (23-8, 16-4).
Senior Day — the final home game for seniors Pardon, Law and Jordan Ash; redshirt juniors Charlie Hall and Aaron Falzon; and graduate transfer Ryan Taylor — started with a bang, as Law hit a 3-pointer in the game's first possession.
But things quickly turned awry for the Cats, as the Boilermakers jumped out to a 10-3 lead and never looked back. The 3-0 and then 3-2 leads NU had after Law's first shot were their only leads of the game.
"Personally I just feel like, you know the emotions of senior night kind of got to me," Pardon said. "I feel like that happens. But I mean I continued to battle with my teammates and I wanted us to fight to the finish, and I feel like that's what we did."
Collins choked up when describing what Pardon meant to the program, recalling how the senior burned a redshirt during his freshman year to help NU down the stretch in 2015.
"To me there's just a picture of Dererk when someone says, 'What is a Northwestern basketball player,'" Collins said. "He's a special guy. All he does is come every day and he just asks what you need of him."
Collins shifted similar praise on Law, who leaves NU ranked in the top 10 in school history for rebounds, made 3-pointers and double-doubles.
Law was forced off late in the second half with a lower body injury after colliding with Purdue's Carsen Edwards. While Collins didn't have much information on his long-term status, he said he knows Law will fight to get back on the court for postseason play if possible.
"I know Vic's gonna do everything in his power to keep going," Collins said. "He's a fighter. I know if there's a way for him to keep playing he will, but we'll find out more."
It was also the final home game for Hall, a walk on who entered the pregame ceremony surrounded by his parents, comedians Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Communication '83) and Brad Hall (Communication '80).
Hall, who got the news that he'd be starting that morning, made his 20th career appearance and first career start for the Cats. Owing to a prolific social media presence, Hall has developed into somewhat of a cult hero for fans, something he is proud of.
'It's just nice to have such a fan base that embraces you and cheers for you even though you're not really getting in like the heavy minute guys," Hall said.

A Simple Request: Please Wash Your Hands!
I was at Starbucks the other day and I saw this "instructional" sign in the bathroom and it made me think of something. Now, this might be a little gross, but stay with me for a second.
When I am in the men's room, whether it is at church, the airport, restaurant, wherever, I can't tell you how many men DO NOT wash their hands! I have no idea about the statistics with women not washing their hands seeing as how I don't frequent ladies restrooms! But the men are terrible. I would say in my estimation, that 1 out of every 4 guys actually wash their hands after doing their business.
Now this is gross for any number of applications, but I'm thinking about one in particular. I am a pastor at a fairly large, medium sized church, and as such, I end up shaking many people's hands over the course of a Sunday morning. If my statistical analysis holds true, then 3 out of every 4 men whose hands I shake haven't had them sanitized! Gross, eh? Yeah, I know… tell me about it!
So, I have a simple request. It doesn't take long and it might actually help you stave off the occasional sniffles: PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS.

Congratulations to team AWS CanSat! The team will now go on to compete in the ESA European finals in Italy at the end of June 2019. We wish them the best of luck.
Congratulations to all of the schools involved in this year's CanSat competition and thank you for taking part.
What is the CanSat competition?
A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can. The challenge for students is to fit all the major subsystems found in a satellite, such as power, sensors and a communication system, into this minimal volume.
The competition is open to teams from any school or college in the UK. Team members must be over the age of 14 at the time of the competition.
If you or your school would like to compete in CanSat 2020, you can register your interest by completing the below form.

Q: Properly sorting lists of objects by attribute, with a twist Assume I have a class called Subject:
class Subject():
    def __init__(self, name, longName):
        self.name = name
        self.long_name = longName

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.long_name + "(" + self.name + ")"

In my code, I create a bunch of these objects, assign name and long_name, then sort the list alphabetically with
sorted(subjects, key=attrgetter("long_name"))

The list that I get looks like this:

[BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT (BW), MATHEMATIK (MA), WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK (WI), WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE (WW), fio (fio), ÜBUNGSRATHAUS (ÜR)]

Obviously, that's not right. How can I properly sort a list of objects alphabetically by an attribute, taking into account uppercase/lowercase and unicode characters like umlauts?
In the end, the list should look like this:

[BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT (BW), fio (fio), MATHEMATIK (MA), ÜBUNGSRATHAUS (ÜR), WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK (WI), WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE(WW)]

A: While sorting words containing both upper and lower cases, it is helpful to convert them all to the same case.
>>> sbjs = [('fio', 'fio'),
        ('MA', 'MATHEMATIK'),
        ('ÜR', 'ÜBUNGSRATHAUS'),
        ('BW', 'BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT'),
        ('WI', 'WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK'),
        ('WW', 'WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE')]
>>> subjects = [Subject(x, y) for x, y in sbjs]

>>> sorted(subjects, key=lambda x: x.long_name)
[BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT(BW), MATHEMATIK(MA), WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK(WI), WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE(WW), fio(fio), ÜBUNGSRATHAUS(ÜR)]

>>> sorted(subjects, key=lambda x: x.long_name.lower())
[BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT(BW), fio(fio), MATHEMATIK(MA), WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK(WI), WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE(WW), ÜBUNGSRATHAUS(ÜR)]

UPDATE:
You need to install the icu package. pip install pyicu worked on my machine.
>>> import icu

>>> collator = icu.Collator.createInstance(icu.Locale('de_DE.UTF-8'))

>>> sorted(subjects, key=lambda x: collator.getSortKey(x.long_name.lower()))
[BETRIEBSWIRTSCHAFT(BW), fio(fio), MATHEMATIK(MA), ÜBUNGSRATHAUS(ÜR), WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK(WI), WIRTSCHAFTSLEHRE(WW)]

Les bras croisés
You are cordially invited to attend the public vernissage at the
Salle Alec et Gérard Pelletier on March 30th.
From 5 to 7 – Welcome to one and all – Artists' presentation at 5:30 p.m.
D'arts et de rêves is proud to present
this first interdisciplinary residence made possible
thanks to the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
Three artists meet: one performs a contemporary circus act from which a visual artist and a writer must draw inspiration to create their own work of art.
These three women had never met before March 1, 2018, but had nonetheless agreed to believe and participate in the D'Arts et de rêves interdisciplinary residency project–Les bras croisés, quite a challenge indeed.
What is the career path of these artists? What is their artistic approach?
In this newsletter, you will learn about Jinny Jessica Jacinto, contemporary circus arts, Muriel Faille, visual arts, and Caroline Louisseize, literary arts.
Our three artists
Jinny Jessica Jacinto
Jinny Jessica Jacinto is a passionate and fascinating woman. After training at the National Circus School of Montreal, she pursued her career at the Cirque du Soleil. She was one of the four contortionists in the New Experience, Fascination, and Saltimbanco shows that toured North America, Asia, and Europe. In addition, Jinny worked on other Cirque du Soleil productions, including Zulu Time with Robert Lepage and Franco Dragone.
Jinny has participated in numerous stage productions in Canada and Europe of which The Royal Variety Performance in the Presence of Queen Elizabeth II in London, England (1995), a Tribute to Jean Chrétien in Toronto, Ontario (2003), the Gala Dinner in the presence of Prince Philip at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England (2004)… She has also participated in film and television productions, and performed at sea for Cirque du Soleil as part of the Celebrity Cruises.
Since 1997, Jinny has had a successful career as a solo artist. She loves sharing her experience in teaching, coaching and assisting in the creation of new productions.
In the early 2000s, Jinny won a scholarship from the Conseil des arts et des lettres (CALQ), which enabled her to create the act she will be presenting to us on March 30, an act that has already been acclaimed around the world.
It will be the first time that the Salle Alec and Gérard Pelletier is host to a circus performer! So come see Jinny perform, live; we promise you a magical moment, strong in emotions, that you won't want to forget…
Muriel Faille
The people around here who have met Muriel Faille know that she has made quite a name for herself, combining her talents as a painter, engraver, and publisher.
Let's see what her artistic path has been: studies in fine arts (bachelor's degree in 1988) and graphic arts (certificate in 1990) at the Université du Québec à Montréal, conferences, "Artist's book" workshops, curator, lecturer at the Université de Sherbrooke, jury member for arts competitions, mentoring, and since 2003 creation of the yearly artistic happening Le Champ de Mauve held in the Eastern Townships–and the list goes on and on…
In 2005, Muriel was awarded the St-Denys Garneau International Prize for producing and distributing artist's books throughout Quebec and the Maritimes during 28 years. She was also awarded the Mention Distinction from the Musée des Beaux-Arts de St-Hilaire (2007), Laureate and Collection of the Thomas Moore Institute, Montréal (2005), 1st prize at the Symposium d'Iberville, Iberville (2001), et 1st prize at the Symposium de Granby, Granby (1999). In addition, many of Muriel's works have been added to public collections.
In fact, Muriel has never really been idle: she exhibits solo or contributes to group exhibitions nearly every year. This year will be particularly busy for Muriel with this interdisciplinary project, an exhibition of etchings at the Sutton Art Plus Gallery in May, the Tour des Arts in July, Le Champ de Mauve in September and a solo exhibition at the Galerie Art Plus in October , whew!
Curious as to what her work looks like? Go to her web site, murielfaille.com, which shows photos of some of her work over the years, you will probably be charmed by La Traversée des Mondes (2017), De l'air, de la terre, de l'Être (2017), Fragments d'éternité (2015), or Nature première (2014)…
Caroline Louisseize
Caroline Louisseize is a woman that seems enthralled by words, she is our writer in residence for the first D'Arts et de rêves interdisciplinary project.
Our writer has chosen to study in fields related to words, music–piano, and the sound of words. She is currently studying linguistics as it applies to the study of French grammar at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), a short program that was preceded by literary studies at the bachelor's level. In college, Caroline became interested in Documentation Techniques (2002-2005) after completing an Arts et lettres, Profile "Creative Writing" program at Cégep du Vieux Montréal (1997-1999).
Her professional career is in perfect synchronicity with her academic career: she has written Répliques (2016) and Aura (2013) published by Poètes de brousse; Le siège propre (2003) published by Triptyque; and she authors cinema chronicles in Panorama-cinéma. Besides being a proficient author, Caroline works as a Documentalist at the National Theater School of Canada.
Our writer-in-residence has received several honors: recipient of the 2017 Geneviève-Amyot Prize for the unpublished work "Tu vois"; twice a CALQ fellow (Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec–2014, 2015); finalist in the Prix des collégiens en poésie (2013) for "Aura", her second collection of poetry; as well as finalist in the Critères intercollegiate competition (literature) (1999).
To discover Caroline's writing, continue reading this newsletter as you will soon uncover a text where she describes her artistic approach. It's almost mesmerizing! We can already imagine the pleasure we will have when listening to her read her latest creation at the March 30 vernissage.
Their artistic approach
Photo : Bruno Berthelet
Jinny likes to be in tune with that which surrounds her; her main sources of inspiration are music, images and, texts, although everything in her daily life amazes her.
When Jinny hears music that touches her, she sees movement. If she feels creative, she plays this music and lets her body guide her movements. Her choreographies are filmed because if the visual artist can see her work evolve and the writer can re-read her words, Jinny can not see herself moving: so first comes the music, then the movements, then she steps back to analyze her performance, she identifies what makes it work or not and what it is she particularly liked which she then dances again… All these moments of creation are captured on film because it is the repetition, the viewing, the analysis, the repetition, the modifications, the additions, and starting over again which are for her the equivalent of "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again".
When Jinny was younger, her creations were designed to ensure truly technical performances, presentations that left her audience surprised, amazed, astonished… the feedback she sought and undeniably received was always a definite "wow!".
Then with time, motherhood, and life experience… her body changed. Jinny nevertheless continued to create and to perform, but consciously chose to focus more on feeling, on emotion. Those who have the pleasure of seeing her perform today do not spontaneously say "wow!". They rather find themselves silent, admiring, dumbfounded at the emotion they have witnessed and that which they feel.
To keep her mind creative and open to all possibilities, Jinny constantly needs to nourish her mind, to take time for herself, to meditate, to surround herself with the people she loves–her children, her partner, her family, her friends…
Jinny also hopes that Les bras croisés, this interdisciplinary residency project, will nourish her by allowing her in turn to be inspired by the work of the two artists in residence–visual arts and literary arts.
What would Jinny wish for? To one day experience a D'Arts et de rêves residence where she could devote herself to a project of her choice…
Muriel Faille describes her artistic approach (murielfaille.com) :
Although my approach is inspired by my environment, it nonetheless challenges philosophy and the psyche. It suggests a communication from the visible to the invisible, questions the great rhythms of the universe by games of transparency and opacity, by the perspective and nature of light.
Starting from a concrete reality, my research questions other realities, other universes. Moments where the being of flesh imprisons the soul at the sight of material things, in order to give way to the mysteries that hide behind appearances.
I draw and I paint on canvas, skin, and wood, first small and then bigger, to verify the grain of life and the intimacy of things. This relationship of intimacy reveals an inscription of being. I try to see the elusive in all matter and forms, the analogical relationship of the human with nature, the relationship of the hidden which is everything…
Hence I have the profound certainty of communicating with something real, otherwise real. This activity suggests the presence of absence.
My works reveals this journey where life is born to telluric and cosmic forces and an atmosphere that breathes heaven and earth. I thus touch the greatness and fragility of our nature within the reach of a world.
Caroline Louisseize sent us a text that we chose to publish as is: :
I am uncomfortable talking about my approach and reducing it into words, even if, without disclosing too many keys, it can be interesting to know how I work… In fact I like it when the reader is somehow virgin in front of my writing. I like to address the raw intelligence. I like the reader to feel a rush of images, of sensations, and irrationality to destabilize him, touch him without him being able to explain it necessarily at first sight. I do not like to say everything. I like to suggest. I like to play.
I also like to use language, to handle it the same as a craftsman (or the artist) would his material. I like to choose the right word, to cut the verses, to create effects of meaning, to play with the calligraphy, to make links with other languages, to make lexical correspondences (in period of creation I draw up tables, graphs, lists of words), particular style effects to serve the purpose. Somehow I tinker with my poems, my writings.
I like to play as I write, and yet writing is anchored in me as an essential means of expression. I received my first typewriter when I was in kindergarten. I have more or less been writing since the day I learned to write.
In my writings I speak mainly about cohabitation, adaptation, learning, life with oneself and with others. It's vast, I know, probably not very original said like that. Every book surprises me. I also talk a lot about the body, in relation to its environment, in relation to living beings, illness, places, time, and even ghosts. I believe in ghosts. I also try to catch a little of the inexplicable. I grew up with a lot of inexplicable.
I write just as I am about to fall asleep. I write while walking, to find the right rhythm. I write from memory, or else I dash on the page like a savage. I correct, I correct, I correct. For one writing day, there is, as a rule, the equivalent of several months of revision.
I am coquettish. The choice of words is essential.
Creating surprising and strange effects in the reader is also important. To tell him very concrete and very human things (experienced), but transformed in the language of the imagination, dreams, memories.
There is also most probably the influence of music. Playing the piano takes me out of work that is too cerebral, it plunges me back into my body. Music plays a big role in the development of verse, or even in prose. It is necessary for the rhythm and the melody of the text to be natural, to flow easily, for the verse to remains hooked, that it "fits" in my ear, that I can say it aloud without trashing it.
I also read a lot. When I am on a project, I repatriate all my inspirations into a physical place, I look them over again and again, I transcend into a state of openness, I discover other books, films, works of art of all sorts dealing with my subject, that can enrich my project from near or far.
And I am always writing. I write a lot more than what matters. I write a journal, I write tons of works in progress. I waste tons of pages. I write as I breathe, I write to breathe. To make room for what transcends me, what I do not quite understand and yet makes me immerse myself in the creative exploration of the human condition.
In short, I write out of curiosity.
Midway there, how are
our two artists in residence doing…
Two weeks after the beginning of the interdisciplinary residency project (March 16th), we went to visit Muriel and Caroline at 57, rue Principale Nord.
How have they been experiencing this project, what has been their approach following the imposed subject, namely the contemporary circus act presented by Jinny Jessica Jacinto on March 2nd?
Muriel Faille invites us into her small studio at the D'Arts et de rêves residence, where she has been since the beginning of the month, creating almost every day. Muriel tells us that fate has been on her side since Jinny's act, because she saw a link between Jinny's performance and her own approach and the themes she likes to address when she creates. She has managed to draw this resonance into her world, embrace it and express it in many ways. Muriel pays much attention to the materials she uses and chose them carefully to express what is needed for this "crossing of the worlds". How does a local artist living in the countryside experience a residence in Sutton? Muriel says she enjoys coming to work in this small studio that gives her a view of the mountain, a view different from that of her own studio, the mountain that accompanying her in her work. Creating in a small space has also had a significant impact, that of creating intimacy, her artwork is thus impregnated. Muriel works diligently and with passion to ensure this resonance shows through her work. She trusts that with time she will have uncovered all that needs to be expressed and she believes she will be able to deliver the fruit of her labour on March 30th. Even though the small studio is alive with Muriel's work, bubbling with creativity, yet in a very serene way. We saw some real treasures that you will also enjoy discovering during the vernissage.
Caroline Louisseize had already written to us (on March 13th) to let us know how she was progressing with respect to the proposed challenge…
As artist in residence, I have been writing non-stop. In a way that does not tolerate any censorship. Accordingly there is a lot of material on my pages that will not make the final cut.
For the latter, I was inspired by Jinny Jacinto's act, I wrote some impressions, words, themes, textures, colors, in my notebook, and I copied these words, I did a kind of montage that I posted in the residence. I refer to it and I build on it.
My first week was a week of plenty. I posted a lot of things on the walls. Because of the big windows, I even felt as if I were on a stage. The second week (with the curtains and being bedridden), everything settled, as in a snowglobe, and I began to make connections between all these words, thinking about the topic of contagion, just and ironically , finding central themes to explore, interesting pictures to guide me.
When we met her a few days later, Caroline shared with us her last few days… She showed us her notebook to which she constantly adds notes, she is inhabited by this project, she thinks about it constantly. In addition, she has been writing her "Sutton's diaries" which record her impressions, reflections, journey, discoveries… Prose had been the focus of her writing; she told us that this morning however, she had written a poem, a portrait. It was a discovery for her, she adds; she was quite happy with the result. Maybe this portrait in an indication of what she will reveal at the vernissage, to be continued…
Posted in Artists in residence


I started when I was around 10 when my parents gave me my first point and shoot camera. I remember getting completely hooked trying to get the perfect shot of this flower.
My parents eventually got me my first DSLR a few years later and naturally being a kid, I got bored of it and moved on to something else.
which sort of got me more into the art scene. It made me want to expand myself as an artist, so I have to say that winning that award gave me the confidence and drive to continue and pursue photography.
When I started my page Segmented (formerly known as Street Segments), I started off with a project called "Don't Talk To Strangers".
It was essentially a Humans of New York type of thing: I would go up to a stranger and take their photo, then I would ask them "If you could give one piece of advice, what would it be?".
I eventually stopped doing it because I realised that I wanted to do my own thing. I think that doing this project helped me gain the confidence I needed to get better in street photography and just photography in general. As a photographer, I feel that you need to show your subject that you know exactly what you are doing (even if you don't).
It's sort of like gaining trust or something like that.
Why do you use both film and digital photography?
Although shooting digital is fast, convenient and you can basically do anything in post processing, its nice to slow down sometimes and just enjoy your time instead of concentrating on getting the perfect shot. I feel that film does exactly this. You're not spending all your time staring at an LCD screen but instead you are just enjoying the moment that you are in and capturing it in the simplest way. There is definitely an unspoken beauty about that. Along with that, the aesthetic that different cameras and films bring to the photos are unlike anything that digital can achieve. The colours, tones and grain is what make film photos so unique.
Of course there are times where you just need the shot, no mucking around. This is when shooting digital comes in. Its reliable, fast, and you know what your photos are going to look like instantly instead of having to wait for it to get developed which allows more room for trial and error.
What is it about the street that made you want to photograph it?
Its not static, its always changing. There are always new places to discover and new people to meet.
Are there any interesting stories you could share from taking photos on the street?
I was walking through Myers Park with this big, chunky, Polaroid pack film camera one day and was stopped by this man wearing a bandanna over his face and wielding a knife.
For some reason, I went over to him despite the fact that he had the potential to stab me and run off with my stuff. He simply stopped to compliment my Polaroid camera and how much he appreciates photography. He later introduced himself as bullet along with his partner, Crystal. After sitting down, talking to them for a bit and explaining to them what it is I do, he asked If I could take their photo. When the photo developed, his reaction was amazing. I decided to take another photo and let them keep one of the copies.
Bullet was enormously grateful and said thank you about a million times and told me that he would keep it forever.
On the surface, they looked quite intimidating but in reality, they were some of the most respectful people I have ever met.
After the photograph was taken, Bullet and I engaged in a Hongi as a sign of respect and parted ways.
Has there ever been anything on the street that you have seen, and wished you'd captured but didn't?
Definitely. This has happened to me a lot of times, I think I've lost count haha. Mostly because I didn't have a camera on me at the time. I study at MIT in Otara, South Auckland and it has some of the most colourful characters I have seen from cross dressers to gang members. The great part is that they are all intertwined and connected as a community, they all live and work with each other which is something that I like about South Auckland. I haven't had the chance to photograph in South Auckland mainly due to being a bit scared and not knowing how people there will react on having their photograph taken but as I've experience before, I shouldn't be quick to judge and just go for it.
Has your background influenced your photography?
To be honest, no. There isn't really much connection between my personal life/background with my photography. What I aim to do with my photographs is to let it connect to other people rather than to myself.
What would you say to an aspiring photographer?
Have confidence in yourself and the work you produce, be proud of what you make no matter what other people think about it. You shouldn't even care what other people think about your work.
If you like it and its up to YOUR standard, then you have created something awesome.
What photographer/s do you look up too yourself?
I get a lot of my inspiration from zines and independent/less-well known photographers. Photographers from Nighted Zines, Monster Children, and Vice are all pretty rad.
I don't really have a specific favourite which is why I always have trouble whenever someone asks me this haha.
In Auckland, where's your favourite place to grab a coffee?
This is a tough one…It would probably be a tie between Shakey Isles in Britomart or Alleluya at St. Kevins Arcade, off K'Road. Both these joints make top notch coffee.

Description: The paper examines the role of external factors in the intensity and duration of armed conflicts in Syria and Ukraine. The authors propose that higher levels of intervention lead to a higher intensity of fighting and longer duration of conflicts. Also, the issue of transformation of state institutions and the probability of their survival during the conflicts is addressed.

Washington, DC, Faces Major Rat Infestation
It's now America's fourth rattiest city
By Newser Editors and Wire Services
Posted Dec 13, 2018 2:42 AM CST

(Newser) – Andre Pittman and Gregory Cornes are on a mission to rid Washington of opportunistic vermin. But their target isn't corrupt officials or shady political fixers; it's Rattus Norvegicus, the common Norway Rat. The nation's capital is facing a spiraling rat infestation, fueled by mild winters and a human population boom. Washington's government is struggling to keep pace, with the pest control department fielding a record number of calls. On one recent day, Pittman and Cornes, both veteran Health Department employees, worked within sight of the Capitol, shoveling dry ice pellets into suspected rat burrow entrances. On another, they were dealing with an outbreak about six blocks north of the White House. "Rats adapt to everything. They can be like geniuses," Pittman says.
The pest control company Orkin ranks Washington as America's fourth "Rattiest City," based on the number of new service calls per year. That's up one spot from the previous year and just behind Los Angeles and New York; Chicago has been ranked No. 1 for four consecutive years. Gerard Brown, head of Washington's rodent control department, says a string of gentle winters has enabled the rodents to breed constantly, the AP reports. DC is also in the midst of a gentrification-fueled economic and population boom. Brown says the number of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops has increased 25% in two years. "More people with more money means more restaurants, which means more garbage, which means more rat food," Brown says. (The district is also trying to count all its cats.)

WhatsApp Is Reportedly Developing Encrypted Cloud Backups For Your Chats
Recently, Facebook-owned WhatsApp has been on the hook for privacy and data tracking concerns. While the company is not backing down on the new policy, it is implementing new features which help with other concerns, such as cloud backups. At present, users can backup their conversations to the cloud, but they are not encrypted. This may be changing soon.
Though we do not yet have an official announcement from WhatsApp, app beta-tester @WABetaInfo on Twitter has posted screenshots of the possible new feature for both Android and iOS. In both mobile OSs, a phone number and password are required to encrypt the data sent to the cloud. Moreover, the password will not be sent to WhatsApp and will remain private to the user, so the data is secure as the password is without any other concerns.
As previously announced, @WhatsApp is working on cloud backups encryption.
The chat database and media will be safe from unauthorized access when using a password. The password is private and it's not sent to WhatsApp.
It will be available in a future build for iOS and Android. pic.twitter.com/Lp06PaECBX
On the other hand, if you manage to lose the password or plug it in wrong too many times, your data will likely be lost to the void forever without any way of recovery. At present, cloud backups save unencrypted chats to Google Drive or iCloud, and if they are hacked, anyone can get the chat messages. Thus, while the chance of losing chats entirely is concerning, having them stolen is worse by most accounts.
When the feature is released sometime in the future, it would not be surprising to have both options for backing chats up to the cloud. Which option would you choose? Let us know what you think of this possible new feature in the comments below.

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service's Working Lands for Wildlife initiatives strategically implement conservation practices that benefit working lands, the wildlife that live on these lands, and the surrounding local communities. One way NRCS ensures its efforts are making a meaningful and lasting difference is through the multi-agency Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) and its wildlife Conservation Insight series. In February, CEAP published "Conifer Removal Benefits Sage-Grouse, Other Sagebrush Birds, and Rangeland Productivity," which highlights the benefits of removing encroaching conifers from sagebrush ecosystems.
This report examined several studies that evaluated conifer removal projects implemented through the Sage Grouse Initiative, public land agencies, and other partners to determine the overall effectiveness of conifer removal activities across sagebrush landscapes.
The encroachment of native conifers (pinyon-juniper) into western sage-steppe rangelands has negatively affected ecosystem services provided by sagebrush habitats and threatens sagebrush-dependent wildlife. Where these conifers now dominate, relationships between snow distributions, water budgets, plant community dynamics, and wildlife habitat are disrupted.
Click on the image above to download the CEAP report on the benefits of removing conifers.
Large-scale encroached conifer removal is an increasingly widespread practice that benefits rangeland productivity and restores habitat quality for sage grouse and other sagebrush-dependent wildlife. Recent studies show that after encroached conifers are removed, sage-grouse occupancy, nest survival, and brood success are greatly improved. Studies also show that sagebrush songbirds recolonize rapidly following encroached conifer removal.
Encroached conifers cause snow to accumulate uniformly on rangelands, resulting in faster snowmelt than on more open landscapes where water is stored longer in drifted snow. Removing the conifers can improve summer water budgets, which benefits ranchers and wildlife.
Through the Sage Grouse Initiative, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and partners have worked to increase the utilization of mechanical conifer removal to improve and restore sagebrush habitats for wildlife and rangeland sustainability.

Lorenz Müller (* 18. Februar 1868 in Mainz; † 1. Februar 1953 in München) war ein deutscher Herpetologe.

Leben und Wirken
Müller studierte zunächst Kunst und ging anschließend nach Paris, Belgien und in die Niederlande. Seit frühester Jugend war er von Terrarien fasziniert und studierte viele Amphibien und Reptilien. Zwei entscheidende Kontakte waren die Wissenschaftler Oskar Boettger (1844–1910) und Willy Wolterstorff (1884–1943), die Müllers herpetologische Forschungsarbeit stark förderten.

Lorenz Müller begann als Illustrator an der Zoologischen Staatssammlung München. Da die herpetologische Abteilung jedoch keinen Konservator hatte, wurde er 1903 Kurator. Diese sehr alte und umfangreiche Sammlung umfasst unter anderen Präparate von Johann Baptist von Spix (1781–1826) und Johann Georg Wagler (1800–1832). Unter Müllers Leitung ab 1912 wurde die herpetologische Sektion ständig vergrößert.

Von 1909 bis 1910 nahm Lorenz Müller an einer Expedition ins Amazonasgebiet teil. 1928 wurde er Chefkurator der zoologischen Abteilung in der Zoologischen Staatssammlung München. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs diente er auf dem Balkan und betrieb die meiste Zeit herpetologische Forschungsarbeit.

In den 1920er-Jahren betrieb Müller intensive Studien an den Mauereidechsen (Podarcis) der Balearischen Inseln. Er beschrieb mehrere neue Unterarten, darunter die heute ausgestorbene Form Podarcis lilfordi rodriquezi.

1948 gab er die Leitung der herpetologischen Abteilung an Walter Hellmich ab und widmete sich Wiederaufbau der stark zerstörten Zoologischen Staatssammlung München. 1953 starb er im Alter von 85 Jahren an einer Bronchitis. Müller veröffentlichte über 100 wissenschaftliche Artikel zur Herpetofauna.

How RSS is planning to help migrants find jobs in villages & towns, focus to be on swadeshi
HomeHow RSS is planning to help migrants find jobs in villages & towns, focus to be on swadeshi
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. | Photo: PTI file
New Delhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is looking at facilitating jobs for migrant workers who had returned to their native places during the Covid-19 lockdown, with a focus on swadeshi and the government's Atmanirbhar (self-reliance) pitch.
A senior RSS functionary told ThePrint that the organisation's volunteers had conducted a survey at the district level to gauge the concerns of migrant workers. According to the functionary, while some of the respondents have expressed a desire to go back to their previous place of work in the cities, many have also said that they want to get jobs in their villages and towns.
Based on the feedback, the RSS through its Gram Vikas (villages development) initiative is reaching out to institutes that are working in the field of agriculture and allied activities to help migrant workers secure jobs.
The functionary further said that the majority of the migrants had returned to Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar, among others. "Many migrant workers said that based on their current skills, they want to get jobs in their villages and towns itself," said the functionary quoted above.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to visit Kanpur, Kolkata
The move comes ahead of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's likely visit to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh and Kolkata in West Bengal in the coming days where he will take up issues related to the welfare work done by RSS during the lockdown, the situation of migrant workers, the environment, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and ways to push the Swadeshi campaign.
"Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwatji is likely to visit Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. He will be on a three-day visit to Kolkata from 22 September and will chair an organisational meeting with all the functionaries," said another functionary.
"Many organisational issues and the welfare measures of the RSS especially taken during the pandemic will be discussed," he added. "At the same time, issues such as how self-reliance (Atmanirbhar) can be achieved through a focus on the Swadeshi and how volunteers can help in that will also be taken up."
The RSS is now focussing on key areas such as agriculture, cows, Ayurveda and other allied fields to create new job opportunities for migrant workers, he further said.
"Under the Gram Vikas initiative, we are trying to get in touch with institutes that are working in farms and the dairy sector. Cows are beneficial as one can earn money not only by selling their milk but also butter, ghee, urine, and gobar (cow dung) too," added the functionary.

Rahul Chaudhari created history by becoming the first man to score 700 raid points in Pro Kabaddi but couldn't save his team from a defeat. Desai scored 17 points and made life difficult for the Titans' defence throughout the match. Desai is also the leading raider of the Pro Kabaddi League Season VI with 83 points so far.
Rahul Chaudhari opened Telugu Titans' account with his raid in the first minute. Desai got two quick raid points as U Mumba led 3-1 after two minutes. Mohsen Maghsoudlou got into the act with Chaudhari as Titans scored five straight points to lead 6-3 in the 7th minute.
Siddharth Desai continued his hot streak of the season as he piled on the points and pressure on the Telugu Titans defence. In the 13th minute, Desai scored a super raid to give U Mumba 13-7 lead as they inflicted the first all out of the match.
Titans defence found it difficult to contain Siddharth Desai in the first half. Rahul Chaudhari scored two raid points in two minutes as Titans reduced the deficit to 10-14. At the end of the first U Mumba led 17-12.
#Mumboys bagged a smooth victory against the #TeluguTitans!
The second half saw Desai at his best again as he scored with a super raid in the 21st minute to give U Mumba 20-12 lead. U Mumba stepped up their game in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Another all out was inflicted in the 24th minute by U Mumba as they led 25-16.
A moment of history was created in the second half when Rahul Chaudhari scored a raid point to become the first man in Pro Kabaddi League to reach the 700-raid point mark. However, he wasn't able to revive his team's fortunes in this match.
U Mumba inflicted another all out in the 31st minute to open a massive 18-point lead. In the last five minutes U Mumba gave a run out to few of their bench players as they were ensured of a comfortable victory. U Mumba collected a few tackle points in the last couple of minutes of the match to wrap an easy 41-20 win. It wasn't meant to be a Titans Tho Tuesday as they couldn't build on a fast start to the match.
In Wednesday's matches, Bengaluru Bulls will face Haryana Steelers and Puneri Paltan take on UP Yoddha.

Cricket Australia confirms first woman board member
Events / Security / Sport / Venues /
Cricket Australia (CA) has confirmed company director Jacquie Hey as its first female board member.
Hey was one of three independent directors who were unanimously elected at CA's historic annual general meeting held today (25th October) in Melbourne.
Hey, former NSW player Kevin Roberts and Rio Tinto Managing Director David Peever join the board as part of sweeping changes to CA's governance.
They join a revised nine-member board that will eventually become fully independent, replacing the old 14-member, state-based board structure.
The changes were made as a result of the Crawford-Carter governance review of Australian cricket.
Hey told the AGM she had achieved modest success on the field, but would bring plenty of business expertise to the board.
She was the former Chief Executive at Ericsson and is currently a professional non-executive director on the boards of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and SBS.
She explained "my background, I hope, gives and will bring a bit of a different expertise to the CA board.
"I am a woman and a mum, so I hope I can help with those cricketing segments as well.
"As I look at this audience of over-achieving cricketers, I worry a bit about the pride I feel in my one cricketing trophy that sits there from the 1988 local competition, proudly in my office at home.
"So I'm not going to go into my pedigree if that's okay.
"But one thing I'm not at all embarrassed about is the interest and enthusiasm I have in the game and its history ... and the desire I have to take cricket forward.
"I'm very happy to be judged on that and I know today you've made a very historic decision."
Federal Minister for Sport Kate Lundy welcomed Hey's appointment.
Senator Lundy said the board would now be well-placed to continue implementing enhanced governance structures, stating "Jacquie has a strong corporate background and passion for cricket and will bring a wealth of experience to the Cricket Australia board."
The AGM heard that CA had a record operating result of $45.6 million, due primarily to Indian media rights.
However, in advance of hosting the 2015 World Cup, CA has been confronted with figures revealing an alarming decline in crowds attending one-day internationals (ODIs).
Although overall attendances have grown over the past decade, the rise of domestic and international Twenty20 cricket has coincided with a dramatic decline in ODI crowds, from a total of 456,254 for the summer of 1999-2000 to 251,916 last season.
The fall in ODI crowds was more than offset by growth for Twenty20 internationals and the introduction of the domestic Big Bash League.
CA Chief Executive James Sutherland told Fairfax media that said TV ratings for one-day cricket remained strong while emphasising the need to act to arrest the trend before the World Cup is staged in Australia and New Zealand three years from now.
Sutherland stated "cricket is very fortunate to have three formats, and all our research shows all three are very popular. The new kid on the block is Twenty20 and it's inevitable there is a bit of shuffling of the deck chairs in terms of that popularity. We have seen one-day cricket somewhat affected by that.
"We support one-day cricket. We have a World Cup here in 2015 and we're looking forward to that, but we also believe there is an opportunity to distinguish one-day cricket a bit more, to improve that fan experience and improve the format of the game.
"We'll do lots of things here in Australia to support that but we're also working at ICC level to ensure the ICC is focused on development in that regard as well."

The Wilmington-based financial institution WSFS is giving $375,000 to Teen Warehouse for operating expenses over the next five years.
The Warehouse is scheduled to open in September at the former site of Prestige Academy charter school on Thatcher Street. It will offer a list of afterschool activities and programs for Wilmington youth emphasizing recreation, education, arts, careers and health.
Teen Warehouse CEO Logan Herring says philanthropic donations and some state funding got this project off the ground, but this latest grant will be crucial in supporting the Warehouse's approximate $1 million yearly budget.
He also points the center will be opening along with the new Kingswood Academy Alternative School, which is relocating from Claymont to Wilmington.
Herring says he expects by year three Teen Warehouse will generate about half of its own revenue through commercial rental space for the list of agencies partnering on the project.
WSFS is also giving $25,000 each to youth workforce training programs the Delaware ProStart program and Year Up Wilmington.
It could take as long as 10 years for significant changes to take hold, but the start of a major revitalization effort is bringing new hope to the Riverside community in northeast Wilmington.
Contributor Larry Nagengast and Delaware Public Media's Tom Byrne discuss plans to revitalize Wilmington's Riverside neighborhood.
Imagine a safe place where Wilmington teens could go after school to learn, keep fit, relax and socialize. It may sound like a dream but a collaboration of nonprofit organizations, with a lot of input from the teens themselves, is trying to make it a reality.
Contributor Larry Nagengast and Delaware Public Media's Tom Byrne discuss the planned "Teen Warehouse" in Wilmington's Riverside neighborhood.


The tall pinnacles and monoliths of the Garden of the Gods formed millions and millions of years ago as a result of a fault line shift. Forces from the Earth's crust rose in a verticle uplift of buried Pikes Peak granite.
The red sandstone formations stand like watchmen in the valley. Strolling through the park is like descending into a foreign landscape.

Affidavit of Support – I'm sponsoring my spouse, can I use his income on the I-864 Affidavit of Support? Maybe.
You, the main sponsor, may count the intending immigrant's income if (1) the intending immigrant is either the sponsor's spouse or has the same principal residence as the sponsor, AND (2) the intending immigrant's income results from the lawful employment in the United States OR from some other lawful source that will continue to be available after he or she acquires permanent resident status. The prospect of employment in the United States that has not yet actually begun does not count toward meeting this requirement.

Visual impairment is a result of a functional loss of vision that are caused by eye disorders which include retinal degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, albinism, and muscular problems resulting in visual disturbances, congenital disorders, corneal disorders, diabetic retinopathy, and infection.
According to a report published by American Printing House for the Blind (APH) in 2015, it was estimated that 61,739 school going children in the US are legally blind.
Partially Sighted It refers to some kind of visual problem where there is a need for special education.
Low Vision It normally refers to a severe visual impairment and it is not necessarily limited to distance vision. It applies to all those who are unable to read a newspaper at a normal distance despite the aid of contact lenses or eyeglasses.
Legally Blind It indicates that the person has 20/200 vision in the better eye which means a limited field of vision.
Completely Blind Completely blind preschoolers can be taught via braille or other non-visual media aid.
Characteristics The impact of visual impairment on a preschooler's life depends on several factors such as age, type of severity, type of loss and overall function of a child's health. Children who suffer from multiple disabilities may also have visual impairments which cause cognitive, motor and/or social and developmental delays. A child who is visually impaired can't have the learning opportunities or the avenues available to other children who are healthy. Visual handicaps create obstacles in the development of the children and their independence.
Educational Help Preschoolers with visual impairment need special care, additional help and some modifications in their regular school curriculum. The use of latest technology like low-vision optical and video aids will enable such children to participate in their regular class activities. Braille books, books on tape and large print materials are available to provide special educational aid to such children.
It's important to assess children with visual impairment early so they can benefit from early intervention programs at schools.

Hope you all are doing great. Recently, I purchased two lip tints from Korean beauty brands, and today I am going to review Chateau Labiotte Wine Lip Tint Merlot Burgundy. Let's see how it fared.
Vivid, long-lasting colour payoff. Stays on for 5-6 hours. Tastes like wine. Enriched with Sepivinol wine extract, which has antioxidant benefits.
Adjust the amount on the applicator before use. Apply from the inner lip and spread it to the outer lip line to create a gradated look.
This tint has the cutest packaging in the world. It's a uniquely packaged lip tint as it comes in a mini wine bottle packaging. I love how pretty it looks. Somehow, it manages to look chic and adorable at the same time. There is also an outer cardboard box, which holds the actual wine bottle tint.
The neck of the bottle serves as the cap for the lip tint and also is color-coded with the actual tint. There is a doe foot applicator with a slanted tip which aids precise application. These wine-shaped bottles feel very lightweight and also sturdy, making them ideal for travelling.
These tints come in six beautiful wine based shades, which includes a rose coral, blush pink, chardonnay orange, shiraz red, nebbiolo red and merlot burgundy. I chose the darkest shade "Merlot Burgundy", which is a beautiful berry reddish pink color. It is a gorgeous shade and will suit every complexion.
I always need to reapply a lip balm throughout the day but I'm happy to report that the lip tint leaves a gorgeous stain on my lips that's long-lasting with some even staying for over 24 hours. I never have to worry about reapplying this tint when using the darker shades, but I do have to reapply the lighter shades.
I love the formula and the texture of the lip tint because it's not so thin where it's watery, but it's also not too thick – it's the perfect balance between the two where it feels lightweight and easy to spread on the lips without any mess.
There's also no sticky feeling or tackiness with these even when they are drying. Once they get absorbed by the lips, they don't budge at all or transfer. They have a pretty good pigmentation and give a natural-looking tinted lip stain. This product dries super quickly on the lips and doesn't emphasize the fine lines or dry spots, like most lip tints do.
Chateau Labiotte Wine Lip Tint Merlot Burgundy has a good formula that feels moisturizing when applied on the lips, but after a few hours of wear – mostly at the end of the day – it starts to feel a bit drying, but nothing outrageous. It contains wine ingredients, which are rich in antioxidants and make this product more special.
It has a light sweet smell, which is quite nice and not overpowering at all. It is very long wearing and stays put throughout the day without moving. Removing the tint is also easy – a makeup wipe will do the job. Overall, this is a great lip tint, which looks cute and does the job pretty well.
