The population in America is shifting as baby boomers age and the "sandwich" generation is feeling more and more pressure to take care of aging parents while raising children at the same time.
Increased lifespan (a good thing!) combined with the latest medical advances may mean that adult children could spend 10 to 15 years or more as caregivers for an elderly parent or even two parents! Furthermore, it may be simultaneous or even consecutive, which creates a difficult and lengthy burden on adult children. Also, consider the likely scenario that grandparents may be living as well! Adult children (primarily women) may be responsible for three generations of care-giving for many, many years.
This begs the question: who takes care of the caregivers?
It's a fact that countless families are being torn apart trying to navigate through the complexities of caring for an aging parent or even two aging parents. Often that duty falls on one son or daughter because other siblings live too far away, are too deeply involved in family conflict, or have stepped aside because they just cannot see a "role" for themselves in the picture as presented. This leaves the one son or daughter to handle their own family, job, and life in addition to dealing with their parent(s)' medical concerns, transportation needs, quality of life issues, and basic daily life requirements. One person cannot do this alone. It depletes their energy and finances, threatens their performance at work, stresses their relationships with family and children and eventually can lead to the onset of depression, anxiety, guilt, and a host of other psychological issues that can wreak havoc in their life.
Sanchez and Baietto was started, in part, to help families plan before crisis enters the picture. We believe the family is the best first point of contact and our goal is to help the family develop a workable long term care plan for their loved one. Caregivers have no time and therefore develop no plan. What starts out one way can quickly become a much bigger responsibility than what a son or daughter who is caregiving ever envisioned. By that time, however, the son or daughter is trapped in a schedule that gives him or her no chance to plan. Pile on top of that a difficult financial situation and that caregiver feels isolated and unable to even contemplate whether he or she can afford any resources out there.
Our goal is to meet with the entire family including the parent(s) or other senior, if possible, spouses, children and important outside family members who have played a large part in the family dynamic. We know that intra-family conflict gets in the way of planning. Our conflict resolution services work well to help families acknowledge and deal with conflict so that it stops being an obstacle. We are skilled facilitators and we focus on bringing dignity and respect to each member of the family so all involved feel respected, heard and understood. This goes a long way in helping families move past conflict.
Once past conflict, we discuss with the family the aging process and the common issues that occur during this time period. We help prepare them to know what the near future and long term future may hold, how quickly decline can set in, and help them understand what kinds of things must be considered and executed both promptly and over time. Parents or other loved ones have a sense of empowerment knowing they are part of the process and their wishes are going to be valued and abided by in the best possible way. By including everyone, letting everyone speak, and contribute to the process, we dignify the process, give it value, and empower the family to assign themselves roles and duties in the care and management of the situation.
As to resources, we are a wealth of information in the tri-county area in which we work. We are plugged into resources that are available both privately and non-privately, such as non-profit, church and other religious resources. We understand medicare and medicaid and what is available and how they can be used. Care managers, home health service, food and transportation needs are all within our scope of resources. We have access to important professionals needed perhaps to plan wills, powers of attorney, living wills, consider tax planning, etc. We have a sophisticated loop of services that becomes available to our clients through us including those clients who have a seriously stressed financial picture.
In these situations family unity is key. A family coming together to show love, compassion, understanding, and enough care to know that spending some time now to think about these matters will help down the road to prevent crisis is invaluable.

Thank you April Ruden for your wonderful article.


the Bush campaign has managed to cherrypick Kerry's record to make Kerry's past inconsistencies appear more stark than they really are. But that's hardly unusual; it's what campaigns do. But Kerry has been amazingly accomodating in doing everything he can to reinforce that image with respect to the Iraq War.
Much to the dismay of my Republican friends, yeah I do think that Bush has cherrypicked Kerry's record, but, as James says, that is what campaigns do. I also think that Kerry left himself wide open to it and that the fact that Kerry has run from his Senate record means the Bush campaign had bushels and bushels to pick from.
"Cherrypicking" is the wrong verb. The Bush campaign, from what i can see, has examined Senator Kerry's record and highlighted the inconsistencies. Kerry is what is being presented, and that is the main reason he is such an awful candidate.
Inadvertently, Kerry has been peparing himself for the day when his flaws would become national news. The Democrats gave a gift to BC04.

Home■2015 Class of National Distinguished Principals: Solis
Eloisa Solis
Las Cruces Public Schools
esolis@lcps.k12.nm.us
In her eight years at Central Elementary School, Principal Eloisa Solis has established a culture of respect by embracing diversity and sharing her leadership role with the entire school community. At Central, 83 percent of students are Hispanic or Latino, and many are Second Language Learners. However, Solis does not view language as a barrier, but rather as an opportunity. She recently created a new model that will turn Central into the first Dual Language Magnet School in the district. Solis also values individual strengths and recruits parents and other community members to lead alongside her. The "Lead Parent" group hosts monthly meetings in which one parent presents information and another parent interprets in Spanish. Solis also partners with New Mexico State University so that teachers-in-training can gain hands-on experience and provide individual support and enrichment to the students of Central. In her efforts to collaborate, Solis always has a positive effect on others. "All who engage with her feel respected and supported," says Lydia Polanco, Director of Elementary Instruction. Solis was named "Bilingual Administrator of the Year" once by the district in 2007 and twice in 2008 by the NM Association of Bilingual Educations and the NM Coalition of School Administrators. She holds a B.A. in Foreign Languages and an M.A. in Education Administration from New Mexico State University.

From 1921 to 1951, Hillwood was the home of Post Cereal Company heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. The estate's lavish Tudor-revival mansion was a symbol of wealth and social prominence that embraced Long Island's Gold Coast in the early 20th century. Like Jay Gatsby's West Egg manse, Hillwood was an idyllic country retreat for family and friends of Ms. Post and her second husband, financial wizard E.F. Hutton, to escape the noise and crowds of New York City. Tennis, horseback riding, swimming, and golf, not to mention opulent parties frequented by royalty, world ambassadors, and celebrities, were just a few of the favorite pastimes that guests enjoyed on the estate.
In 1951, recognizing the educational needs of the growing number of families moving to the suburbs, Long Island University purchased the 177-acre estate for $200,000. The university's Board of Trustees named the college for Marjorie's father, the great American breakfast cereal inventor Charles William Post.
Thanks to a generous gift from alumnus Gary Winnick (B.A. '69) in 2004, the main residence of the Hillwood estate underwent a three-year restoration. Now known as Winnick House, the mansion's bedrooms and living quarters have been converted into administrative offices, meeting rooms, and performance spaces. In the Great Hall, a meeting space, recital hall, and reception area for students and faculty, you can still enjoy the extraordinary architectural details in the woodwork and leaded windows while you envision the grand parties that took place here in the early part of the 20th century.
Today, the LIU Post campus covers 307 acres and comprises 47 buildings, 10 residence halls, and three historic mansions. Just 25 miles east of New York City, LIU Post is a scenic, historic, and scholarly campus that offers a small-school environment, but with the access and resources of a major metropolitan university.
Ranked a "Best Regional University," by U.S. News and World Report, LIU Post offers more than 200 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and certificate programs. LIU Post is a leader in cultivating entrepreneurial spirit in our students through innovative collaborations, including Thoughbox@LIU tech and small-business incubator and student-run businesses. On-campus radio and television stations serve as real-world learning labs for media and journalism students, and LIU Post is proud to be the only university on Long Island equipped with a full service Equestrian Center, with barns, indoor and outdoor riding rings, and horse trails. Our campus is also home to Long Island's premier concert and performance venue Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.
Students and student-athletes enjoy the amenities of the Pratt Recreation Center, including an eight-lane swimming pool, yoga studios, three basketball courts, indoor track, racquetball courts, weight room, and more. Beginning in fall 2014, students, alumni, family, and friends gather at the new Bethpage Stadium to cheer on the Pioneers' top ranked Division II athletics programs.


On Friday, January 16th, 2015 Randy Now of Randy Now's Man Cave Record Shop here in Bordentown, NJ presented New Jersey's own The Doughboys and The 1910 Fruitgum Company. The concert was held at the Open Arts Stage and was a wicked good time! I went to college near Boston, MA, so you'll still hear me say wicked from time to time.
I took my daughter to see this show and she loved it, her very first concert! First, The Doughboys kicked it off and played a rocking set. Our daughter and her friends(all in the third grade at the time) were dancing in their seats. Then The 1910 Fruitgum Company came on and whoa! Another incredible set!!!!
My influences for shooting musical artists goes back to the 1960's, when all you had was maybe 400 speed black and white film. I just love how it seemed simpler back then at venues. And from what I heard from photographers from that time, it was.

THE HISTORY OF KOOCANUSA
In 1961 an international treaty between Canada and the United States was signed to coordinate flood control and maximize electrical energy production throughout the Columbia Basin.
In 1972, the Kootenay River was transformed into Lake Koocanusa, a 150 kilometre long body of water, following completion of the Libby Dam located approximately 80 km south of the United States border.
A contest to name the Lake was won by a Libby, Montana resident. The name was derived from "Koo" from Kootenay, "Can" from Canada and "USA".
In the late 70's an accidental release of approximately 100 kokanee salmon entered the water system and thrived, due in part, to the lack of natural predators. Shortly afterwards, anglers were pulling in many thousands of these tasty land locked salmon.
It is interesting to note that the original "big" plan was to create a much larger body of water that would have flooded an immense area of the Columbia Valley. Common sense prevailed and we are now blessed with this amazing and useful water system known as Lake Koocanusa.
Koocanusa, as a reservoir, rises each March to June in a refresh that can see as much as 4 million acre feet of water enter the system from the mountains through the many tributary streams entering the lake.
This all means a wonderfully clean and warm (heats as it rises) lake each year.
The water retreats starting slowly in mid summer to late fall when water is held for power production in the winter. All this time the lake remains an ever changing, enchanting and marvellous place to be.
Lake Koocanusa has emerged as a great recreational haven.
Sunshine Houseboat Vacations Ltd. was founded in 1999 by Brant and Dianne Cullum, residents of Cranbrook, BC. The couple had a vision to offer houseboat charters on Lake Koocanusa stemming from some thoughtful insight during family camping trips to the lake.
Resourceful entrepreneurs, Brant and Dianne understood the importance of having a competitive advantage and they knew that the area rivalled any other location.
To begin, four original Three Bouys' Suncruiser craft were purchased in Sicamous and transported to Lake Koocanusa. The first marina was established on a small piece of land located opposite the Elk River. This location helped the company establish its personality.
As word spread about the area, charter bookings grew and brand new state of the art houseboats were added to the fleet. To accommodate growth a new location was secured and Sunshine moved to Gold Bay in the spring of 2006.
In 2014 Sunshine will operate a fleet of 15 houseboats from their full service marina located on 4 hectares of land and 3 hectares of water.
Sunshine is a thriving and growing tourism business on Lake Koocanusa.
See what our customers have to say:
"I absolutely LOVE Sunshine Houseboats! The service this year was amazing! We got unloaded and loaded in a very timely manner and efficiently. The boat was clean, the water is beautiful and it is the best vacation ever! I come ever year and already have my boat booked for next year! Look forward to seeing you again!"
"There were 19 of us on the houseboat, 8 of them being our grandkids between the ages of 3 and 8yr. Every one of us would say it rated 10/10. I always thought that house-boating was more for adults and partying but not so, we had a marvellous time and hope to do it again."
"I grew up in the East Kootenays and never knew there was a houseboat company on the lake, in fact didn't even realize all the potential Lake Koocanusa had until our houseboat trip. Rock Cliff Islands was a tremendous experience – cliff jumping – AAAaahhhh!! SPLASH!!"

In the midst of the commercial and cosmopolitan hub of Colombia, the rumba will never be far away. But the headquarters of a company (in Medellin) dedicated to investing in real estate might not be your expected location for a laid back yet upbeat evening of drinks and canapés that is open to all in Medellin. Yet the opening of Global Express Business and Travel Center has brought about just that.
Located in the heart of El Poblado, the neighborhood that has become ever more popular within the traveler and expat community as a hub for business activity and just a few blocks away from the famous Parque Lleras, home of arguably the best nightlife, this one-stop shop offers answers to all things business and travel for foreigners, from the best tours and entertainment in the area to visas and legal services, in addition to real estate and international investment opportunities.
Starting with the grand launch at the start of November 2016, Global Express has seen several events where guests joined a community of like-minded people from a diverse range of backgrounds to share experiences, advice and ideas, while gaining information about living and thriving in Medellin and discovering the services available from the trusted partners who have set up offices in the Business and Travel Center including Online Taxman and Colombian Legal Partners.
If you didn't get the chance to attend, these events will be held seasonally on Thursday evenings, giving expats and visitors the chance to hear about the latest developments and network within a vibrant community of people in a chilled atmosphere with complimentary light refreshments including wine and cheese. A great way to start the evening and stay in the loop – what more could you want!

Jinkx Monsoon + Major Scales: The Vaudevillians
Presented by Soho Theatre and Tim Whitehead
After selling out an often-extended Off-Broadway run, an Australian tour and a run at London's Soho Theatre, RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon returns to Contact with The Vaudevillians, a bawdy, rowdy musical comedy co-starring composer and musician Major Scales.
Throughout the 1920's Kitty Witless and Dr. Dan Von Dandy toured the United States as The Vaudevillians, wowing audiences with their edgy, original music.
One day, while touring through Antarctica, they were victims of a devastating avalanche and were buried under two tons of sleet and snow – instantly freezing them alive. But thanks to Global Warming, they recently thawed out only to discover that pop artists had stolen their music and passed it off as their own.
Now, at long last, they are taking to the stage to reclaim their songs, performing their music as originally composed.
It's a vintage cabaret with a twist of drag.
'The laughs are jam-packed and the musicianship is flawless… It's an expert blend of comedy, song and theatre'

Long time no talk eh? (Trust me, we know) This blog has been a blank canvas of potential energy kept empty only by the intentional pouring of our kinetic energy elsewhere. A fancy way of saying: we have been so freakin busy it's insane and keeping this thing up to date has not been a priority on purpose; though that will change soon.
I (Max) just wanted to give you guys a little update on Adventure Us and what we've been up to the past year and a half. A much bigger video update is coming soon, this blog is meant to hold you over till then. (Well for the handful of you who have cared and followed our story thus far).
So as many of you know we have been living out of our renovated Airstream "Rosemary" for the better part of 2 years. And let us tell you: it has been so amazing, dreamy, fulfilling and captivating. Let us also tell you: it is so much harder than we thought it would be!
Now, if you've spent anytime in the tiny house, minimalism, small living world this is where you might expect me to rattle off a list of pros and cons, tips on renovations, best and worst practices, what to expect, how to make money, what you don't know going into trailer life and so on... (much of that will come later rest assured).
But right now I just wanted to be brutally honest and say that it's been hard because starting a brand you want to be excellent is hard. freaking. work.
Especially without any outside investments, no other business partners, living in a 180 square foot home you tow with you, in a new city every 3 weeks, with Bonnie Kate's chronic pain, with a few deaths of close friends, with some massive CRAZY personal family %#*!* going on, while trying to freelance and pay the bills, while working hard to create and launch what we believe will be some of the best, honest, beautiful, most thoughtful content on YouTube ever.
"But we believe and are choosing to believe in Adventure Us because we believe in the people, memories, and stories we've encountered and want to share them with you in a way that is real, honest and beautiful."
All of which to say: we have been very busy. Doing what you may ask? Filming a library of content for our YouTube channel while making a living until the channel can (hopefully) support us financially. So we will drive out to a place with episodes in mind, contacts made, things planned, and try to grab as many amazing stories as we can while still working on the road taking care of clients and freelancing. It's a delicate balance, and it's not fun or glamorous all the time, but we have found a stride and.... it is SO worth it!
"Most people regret not having seen more of the world's beauty in their lifetime, so our YouTube channel invites folks to come alongside our adventures as we weekly share amazing stories while we work, travel and live in our 79' renovated Airstream named Rosemary."
As we say here on our site, we are a creative married duo purveying service + story as we travel the US. Service means freelancing paying the bills, and story will be our attempt to make YouTube a better place for young and older folks alike to invest their time as we become more and more connected with the ever present growth of the smartphone.
Social media and YouTube has democratized our ability to be seen in the world, which is to say it's an even playing field and we all have a chance at growing our brand. Which means we all have a chance at the privilege of having our thumb on the pulse of culture to some degree.
Whether or not we like it, we are what we consume: both at the dinner table and on our phones.
The reality is: our utter connectedness online isn't going away, and while many people are using that in their own unique way, some are doing it better than others.
After our proposal documentary "Wildflower" took off, we too were inspired to take a stab at it in a way that is authentic, beautiful, hopeful and entertaining.
We believe social media can and should be something that fills not numbs, that inspires and doesn't bully, that empowers and doesn't trick you into resenting your life.
We have given our hearts, time, thought, energy, blood, sleep, sweat, bank accounts, and tears for it, and you know what: we've already won!
Even if our channel flops, even if no one watches, even if we don't 'take off' and 'succeed' like everyone (honestly) wants to: we did it. We set our minds to a strong vision, brought it to life, learned a TON, became a better couple by learning how to work together in a TINY home, and got to travel a ton and invest precious time with friends and family we wouldn't have otherwise gotten to.
Also, if you read this whole thing, you are amazing. Thank you for your time and energy.


Yo dog! Siri Smarty here. I hate having to wear foo-foo clothes and ribbons in my fur. I think hamsters and cats are both over-rated. Chasing anything that will run is so much fun, I could do that all day. I like it when you're frisky.

Curtis Mensch liked Ana-Maria Garcia's discussion Could You Love A Firefighter?
My father is a volunteer firefighter and there was something interesting about how he'd just pick up and leave when his pager went off. He would take me on calls (I'd stay in the vehicle of course) and watch him fight fires. I knew I wanted to be right there with him as soon as I was old enough.
Honestly, I feel as though it's my calling. After I fought my first fire and worked on my first patient, I knew there was nothing else I would rather do.
Happy Easter to you! Be Safe!
i love your drawings! excellent work!!!!
Ana-Maria,Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. I am glad you joined the group.There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all.


Sir Alex Ferguson was a happy man as he watched Manchester United take full advantage of Newcastle's generosity to climb into second place in the Barclays Premier League with a 3-0 victory.
United were handed a flying start as the Magpies' makeshift defence crumbled horrifically on two occasions inside the opening 16 minutes to allow first Jonny Evans and then Patrice Evra to head home.
Alan Pardew's men rallied in determined fashion and might have been back in the game five minutes into the second half, but Demba Ba's header came back off the bar and Papiss Cisse's follow-up was clawed on to the post by keeper David de Gea with the home contingent claiming the ball had crossed the line.
But Tom Cleverley's 71st-minute strike from long range ensured the visitors avenged their 3-0 defeat at St James' Park last season in fine style.
The bulk of a crowd of 52,203 trudged away knowing their team had contributed to its own downfall with the kind of calamitous defending which has plagued them for years, but had become less common since their return to the top flight.
United dominated possession for long periods and had greater invention with Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck repeatedly stretching their hosts as Cheick Tiote and Yohan Cabaye struggled to exercise any real control in the middle of the park.
On a day when Newcastle found themselves linked with a sponsorship deal with loans company Wonga - it is understood the stadium naming rights are not involved - Pardew's players were handing out gifts for which there was no need for repayment.
Firstly, former Sunderland defender Evans left both Mike Williamson and Ba for dead to apply the finishing touch to Van Persie's right-wing delivery with eight minutes gone, and as many minutes later, Evra, hardly the most imposing of figures physically, was similarly unaccompanied as he reached Wayne Rooney's set-piece from the left with the same result.
Newcastle's defending was simply shambolic and while they could point to the absence of Tim Krul, Danny Simpson, Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini, four certain starters in their first-choice back five, the men handed the marking jobs in their absence failed miserably in their tasks.
As the chaos unfolded, minds turned back to Arsenal's visit to Tyneside two seasons ago when Van Persie struck twice as the Gunners surged into a 4-0 lead by half-time, but only emerged with a point after being hit by a second-half blitz.
A repeat looked unlikely, but as Newcastle gradually climbed out of the hole they had dug for themselves, the mood inside the stadium began to change.
The movement of Rooney, Van Persie and Shinji Kagawa behind lone striker Welbeck had left the Magpies chasing shadows, and Pardew opted to switch Hatem Ben Arfa to the right to give his side a better shape and a greater attacking threat.
Gradually, his players worked their way into the game, Jonas Gutierrez dragging an 18th-minute shot just wide and Cabaye only just missing the target with a curling effort.
Ba turned a Cisse cross over the bar under pressure and Cisse headed wide from a Cabaye free-kick, but crucially, the Magpies failed to test keeper David de Gea.
A full-blooded 45 minutes saw five men booked by referee Howard Webb - Tiote and Gutierrez for Newcastle and Kagawa, Rio Ferdinand and Van Persie for United - and there was little sign of the tempo abating after the break.
Indeed, Newcastle thought they were back in it within five minutes of the restart when Ba got to Shane Ferguson's cross ahead of De Gea, but saw his effort come back off the bar.
Strike-partner Cisse headed the rebound towards goal, where the keeper managed to divert it on to the post with the striker insisting the ball had already crossed the line, but to no avail.
Ba headed wide from another Cabaye cross, but United continued to threaten on the counter and might have extended their lead when Welbeck held off Davide Santon and laid the ball off for Cleverley, but the midfielder skied his 57th-minute effort.
Keeper Steve Harper had to get down well to keep out Rooney's skidding left-foot effort three minutes later with the visitors pressing once again.
The home side kept plugging away with Hatem Ben Arfa dragging a well-struck left-foot shot marginally wide, but the game was over 19 minutes from time when Cleverley accepted Rooney's lay-off on the left wing and curled the ball right-footed across Harper and into the top corner.

Jacob of Converge has established a more permanent line up that consists of members of The Red Chord, Cave-in, Trap-Them and Hate Breed. But do not let that deceive you this has metallic elements in play but could only loosely be called a metal band. Ben Chisholm of Chelsea Wolfe fame, contributes as well. So does Gared from PlanesMistakenforstars. His appearance I was most excited about though it is often relegated to the background since this is Jacobs show and it can be hard to tell their voice apart in places. Jacob's singing voice has improved. Granted he has effects on it and is not projecting it. But he can hold a tune. Gared from Planes comes in behind him to bolster the melody. I like that this is darkly melodic. I comes with a heavier build that is not metal, but works. It would most easily be filed under post-rock. "Paper Panther" is more straight forward sonic rock with the post rock atmosphere dialed down.
There is am ore spoken tone to his voice on "Tomorrow's Sorrows" which winds it's way around to a heavy chugged riff. "Brittle Pillar" also has some heft to it. I like the fact he is using restraint since if this was a Converge album he would have already been screaming. It turns into a sludgey rumble. "Truth Is a Lonely Word " manged to be darker un expected ways that are not tangible and best heard. I can say this song has some great guitar playing. "Rainbow Fades" has some sounds that are already familiar to this project like soft whispered vocals and an almost ballad like intro. The guitar playing gets more Pink Floyd like when we are in the meat of the song. "Love In Peril " mood-wise feels like it could have come from "Crack the Skye". The weak spots in his voice come through on "Lurking Shadows" thought it still works because he has made no illusion as to begin a great singer and exploits this fact in Converge"s earlier work. There cool touches of country in the guitars to this song.
If Pink Floyd's "Obscured By Clouds " had been the soundtrack to a movie about a serial killer the sound might have been like "Shrinking Violet". The album ends as it began with a instrumental piano centered piece. I will give this one an 9.5 . The guitar playing on this album is fucking great. It's not Converge, but it doesn't need to be.

I hope you guys won't mind two wishlists in a row and I promise you that more interesting posts will come after my exams. This time I got a theme, so I'll just share with you some of the dresses from Dresslily that caught my eye, and by the way, if you like getting wigs for fun, like I do, you can check out lace front wigs too.
I'm someone who doesn't really have a favourite style when it comes to dresses. When I go shopping and someone asks me what will I be looking for, my first thought is "I'll know when I see it, how can I know in advance?" And I bet a lot of you can relate to that. And these are the dresses that I knew I'd wear the moment I saw them.
I like the fact that lace-up is not coming out of style, not that I care what's in fashion, but it's a good thing because there's just more and more of that kind of clothing, and I think it's a good way to make simple clothing more interesting and edgy. And I love the contrast of black clothing and white lace-up, which you can see on the first dress.
Now these are a little bit more classy, not too much, but the first one is something I'd only wear on special occasions, regardless of the lace-up that makes it less formal. And I think that what makes the second one somewhat classy is just it's simplicity and the fact that it's white.
I decided to end this post with two girly and elegant dresses, or at least that's how I see them. Even though they're black I think what makes them girly is the teal and the lace on the first one and again the lace and those cute buttons on the other one.
this dresses are so beautiful!!!
Great post! I love the white dresses!
Wow, great selectiond ear! So nice dresses, love them!

The Isle of Mists…say it out loud and what comes to mind when you hear it? For me it evokes mystery, hidden behind wispy, smoke-like tendrils that beckon you forward, enticing you to take a deep breath and enter the unknown. The Isle of Skye, part of the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, literally means "Isle of Mists." It is a land rich in history, lore, and long inhabited by humans dating back to the Mesolithic era over 10,000 years ago. It is a place shrouded in the rich passage of time. There is a raw, ethereal feel to Skye. For millennia it has witnessed the advance of civilization, the drumbeat of time. The farther back in time, the more elusive the tangible history. That's where legends and lore are born.
Oral recitation was a way of ensuring that history was preserved and passed down through the ages, but much like the childhood game of "telephone" the stories have changed. To further confound and perplex us, words and phrases today have different meanings than they did long ago, and languages have evolved right along with civilization. Imagine saying "that's cool" to someone in the Middle Ages and they'd think you were referring to the temperature. What was so important that the Ancient Ones wanted to ensure that we didn't forget…only we did, sort of. The legends are an enigma to us due to the passage of time and changes in language. Quaint stories to pass the time…but that's not what they were meant to be. They were meant to be heeded!
This is the challenge that Katie Walsh, my heroine in Trove faces. She's an investigative mythologist determined to ascertain what our ancestors were trying to tell us; commanding us to remember. Her quest in Trove takes her from Boston to the Isle of Skye to prove her theory that there were survivors of the destruction of Atlantis and they were the source of the legends. Of course where would an investigative mythologist be without a strapping archaeologist by the name of Alec MacGowan by her side, and yes, sometimes in her face!

THE RUSKIN MUSEUM
John Ruskin 1819 - 1900
HOME | BOATS | HISTORY | INDEX | INVESTORS | LINKS
CONISTON, CUMBRIA
John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a great Victorian artist, critic, teacher, writer, amateur geologist and philosopher. His range of interests and achievements were staggering. He thought that it was fundamental to make links between subjects and disciplines. He generally managed to see the whole picture. Ruskin's 39 volumes contains some 9 million words. His correspondence ran to 20,000 letters. His sketches, drawings and paintings also run into the thousands. It is fitting that the Museum at Coniston should be so dedicated.
Tim Hilton, (biographer) speaking on the BBC 'Omnibus' programme in 2000, said: "No-one apart from Ruskin, in the 19th Century, gives so complete and various an account of the continuing life of the mind - a mind that, as if propelled by electricity, runs down the pen and sprints across the page... It is absolutely unique, and something for which he should be treasured." Leo Tolstoy said Ruskin was: "one of those rare men who think with their hearts."
There has been a Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin's secretary, set it up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's heritage. For this reason the museum has a Ruskin collection, to include exhibits relating to the copper-mines, slate, geology, lace, farming and Donald Campbell.
The museum was extended in 1999 with the help of a Heritage Lottery grant; additional building with modern design-work, computer displays, and hands-on exhibits have transformed the look of the two galleries.
CUMBRIAN GEOLOGY
Geologists and walkers will find the variation in rock types an interesting feature of the hills. Coniston has two totally different rock groups represented in the area. The geology of the Coniston area is best viewed from Grizedale Forest, which is to the east of Coniston.
Coniston Village and the Fells - red line separates
volcanic & sedimentary rocks
The terrain from the forest to west of Coniston consists of wooded, agricultural land, with gentle rolling hills of relatively low relief. The rocks underlying this area are marine sedimentary rocks from the "Windermere Supergroup". Volcanic rocks of the Coniston Fells were laid down around 460 million years ago. They are part of the rock group known as the Borrowdale Volcanic Group (BVG). The total thickness of the BVG laid down in the Lake District is over 7km thick, an incredible deposit.
Due to the collision of two continents some 420 million years ago the rocks have been intensely heated and squeezed. They have also been uplifted and now the once horizontal beds dip roughly south east at up to 90 degrees. You can literally walk back in geological time, this is because as you walk up the coppermines valley, the rocks get older the further you walk.
The other major event that affected the area in a big way happened about 2 million years ago. This was the start of the ice age. Successive glaciations carved out the valleys and scooped out hollows where now tarns such as Low Water and Blind Tarn are. This mountain and valley terrain is what makes the Lake District so special.
After the volcanic period the area subsided beneath the sea. In sub-tropical shallow waters teaming with marine life, the Coniston Limestone was laid down. This was not the limestone frequently seen from the Carboniferous period but a less pure limestone from the much earlier Ordovician. Slowly the sea deepened and over a long time period large amounts of muds and sands were deposited. These are the Windermere Supergroup sediments that are also of great thickness.
Bluebird Recovery
On Thursday 8th March 2001 Bluebird was recovered from Coniston Water where she had lain since the 4th of January 1967. Although a lot of local people and many members of the Campbell family did not want the boat recovered from the lake, once it had been, most accepted it and moved on. The hope was that it would be returned to Coniston some time in the future. The Museum has many framed photographs showing the recovery of Bluebird by Bill Smith and his team.
The K7 wreckage recovered 8 March 2001
On Monday 28th May 2001 it was announced that human remains had been recovered from Coniston Water. The remains were confirmed to be those of Donald Campbell, speed ace, in August 2001. A funeral took place on Wednesday 12th September in foul wet weather, where a large crowd paid their respects to one of our country's greatest heroes and most respected men. The funeral is also represented in a series of framed photographs.
The Museum was granted planning permission on 3rd July 2003 to build a "Campbell Gallery" extension. It is expected that when the boat is restored it will be housed in this extension along with a display of memorabilia and computer displays. Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird boat, the K3, is intact and housed at the other end of the country at Filching Manor Motor Museum, near Polegate in East Sussex. The K3 was rescued from ruin privately by Paul Faulkes-Halbard. The K3 restoration continues and we hope to feature progress in the near future.

Having lived through the fortieth year of our Tri-Island state as an Independent Nation – those of us who actually experienced all those years as residents in our homeland, we must be having a variety of ideas and second thoughts – as we look back at the happenings and recall the experiences we encountered over those many years.
Not that we can do anything about those happenings as we remember them – but we may be more prepared, and much more ready to make amends and change our attitudes to many of those happenings, as we go forward into the years ahead.
We have already been forewarned, that the government in control is embarking on Constitutional Reform by a referendum in March next year, to radically change our current political status from that of a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, to that of a Republican State which will be aligned to an unknown state not yet revealed to our people.
We already know that the controllers have been selling Grenadian passports to foreigners in the Far East especially – and as a result thereof, Canada has already stopped Grenadians from entering that country – unless they obtain a Canadian visa for so doing.
If that referendum succeeds and we move away from our Commonwealth membership — to that of some other foreign statehood — then our lifestyle and our status as we have been accustomed to for ever so long will be things of the distant past.
We now have a Parliament (Upper and Lower House) where the government is in total control – and the voices in that Upper House are a strange mixture of people, who were once in opposition of the current controlling party – but now are in leadership positions of the same party and the government.
How that state of affairs will help or hinder the controllers in their drive to obtain the two-thirds (2/3) majority vote in the referendum to reform the Constitution in March next year — only time and the actual results will determine when the votes are counted.
It must be very obvious to many on the outside – who are looking at the movements and appointments taking place inside the corridors of power – that most of those are mainly made for political convenience, in the hope that the new-comers will be able to sway the voters, when it comes down to the referendum for getting the required two-thirds majority vote come March next year.
The promises and the plans that were dished out during the campaign – to win all the fifteen seats in the Lower House since February last year – these and those remain just that, with nothing on the political horizon that even looks like changing the economic temperature any time soon – and the many thousands still unemployed with no jobs anywhere in sight, that number is increasing rather than going down.
It must be heartrending and very depressing – for those people who have children especially, and have no jobs to be able to provide the basic necessities – at this time of the year in particular and nothing in sight for next year.
It is sincerely hoped – that some parts of the programs the controllers keep talking about, will be realized in the New Year – so that at least some families will have a breadwinner among the lucky jobfinders.
One situation is very certain in the coming New Year – whether we vote in favour of the reformation or not – and that is our people cannot go through another year without the opportunities to find some form of employment to feed their families.
In addition to the above, it is also the hope that those foreign Investors who bought our Grenadian Passports – based on the scheme that they will be moving into the Island to start up various business ventures that will also provide employment around the Islands for our people – that the said scheme will sooner than later come into operation.
The situation a whole lot of people lived through last year and this year – just cannot be tolerated for another year without very serious improvements on the economic front.
As we move into another New Year just around the corner – I wish all those who take the time to read this article, God's blessing and good health and prosperity for the New Year.

De drievlekdwergspanner (Eupithecia trisignaria) is een nachtvlinder uit de familie van de spanners (Geometridae).

Kenmerken
De voorvleugellengte bedraagt tussen de 10 en 11 millimeter. De basiskleur van de vleugels is bruin, en de vleugels zijn vrij egaal gekleurd. Tegen de costa van de voorvleugel bevinden zich twee donkere vlekken, die samen met de middenstip een driehoekje van ongeveer even donkere en gelijkgevormde vlekken vormen. Naar deze drie vlekken verwijzen de Nederlandse en wetenschappelijke naam.

Levenscyclus
De drievlekdwergspanner gebruikt schermbloemigen als waardplanten, bijvoorbeeld engelwortel en gewone berenklauw. De rups is te vinden van augustus tot oktober. De soort overwintert als pop. Er is jaarlijks een generatie die vliegt van juni tot en met augustus.

Voorkomen
De soort komt verspreid van Europa tot Siberië voor. De soort leeft in natte omgevingen. De drievlekdwergspanner is in Nederland een zeer zeldzame en in België een niet zo gewone soort.

Q: How can you set up secure Terraform state storage for different infrastructure layers using S3 for backend? Context
After reading a lot about Terraform and playing with it in minor projects, I'd like to start using it in a real, production environment.
As the environment is mostly in AWS, I'd go for the S3 backend, but I'm open to change this.
Task
I'd like to have separate Terraform projects (states) per infrastucture layer. Clearly, the top layers should be able to access to output of lower layers. I can use the Terraform remote state data source to get this data.
I've seen different setups around the internet.
Setup #1
|–globals
|–modules
|-infrastucture1
| |-layer1
| | |-layer2

Setup #1
|–globals
|–modules
|-infrastucture1
| |-layer1
| |-layer2

Setup #3
Everything above has its separate git repo.
Question

*

*What would be the recommended code organisation for this?

*What access rights do I have to add to the lower layers' S3 buckets to keep their state safe, but still allow Terraform remote state to access it?

A: >What would be the recommended code organisation for this?

First let me just say that there is no common rule but is depedent to your needs. However I would suggest against using a seperate git repo for each and every module, since this will lead to great amounts of duplication and will have no intrinsic value.
The 2nd setup that you specified seems to be used in most places I've worked and is also common in many repos.
Here is a sample from the Gruntwork blog that utilizes a similar organization.
https://www.gruntwork.io/infrastructure-as-code-library/v0.17.1/module-ecs
Here is a sample from a quite well known repo in github
https://github.com/airbnb/streamalert/tree/master/terraform
>What access rights do I have to add to the lower layers' S3 buckets to keep their >state safe, but still allow Terraform remote state to access it?

I do not really understand in what sense do you want to keep their state "safe". But since you are mentioning access right for the s3 bucket I will advise like amazon does to actually enable versioning and MFA delete.
The following link includes all the best practices by amazon to acomplish s3 bucket security.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/s3-access-control.html
This link is the how to guide on s3 bucket permissions
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/example-walkthroughs-managing-access-example1.html
If you want, you can also utilize signed-urls for your backend, althought I reckon that this is not they way to work on terraform.

Q: Error while printing the given inputs This code:
#include<stdio.h>
struct my_structure {
    char name[20];
    int number;
    int rank;
};
int main()
{
    int n,i;
    scanf("%d",&n);
    struct my_structure variable[n];
    struct my_structure *ptr;
    ptr = &variable;
    for(i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
        scanf("%s",ptr->name);
        scanf("%d",&ptr->number);
        scanf("%d",&ptr->rank);
    }
    for(i=0; i<n; i++)
    {
        printf("NAME: %s\n", ptr->name);
        printf("NUMBER: %d\n", ptr->number);
        printf("RANK: %d", ptr->rank);
    }
    return 0;
}

It is not printing correctly. I want to print the 1st input first and then the second. But I'm getting the output like printing only the second input two times.

A: Two changes you need to do:-
ptr = variable ;

Then you can increase ptr in loop.(The use of scanf is not robust - how to do it better is shown in the end of the answer).
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    scanf("%s",ptr->name);
    scanf("%d",&ptr->number);
    ...
    ptr++;
}

After that again do the assignment ptr = variable;.
You can also do this (Illustration on the users code)
    ..
    scanf("%s",ptr[i].name);
    scanf("%d",&ptr[i].number);
    ...
    printf("%s",ptr[i].name);
    printf("%d",ptr[i].number);

Earlier you have type mismatch in assignment. You were assigning a struct my_structure (*)[n] to struct my_structure*. Check the return value of scanf and also check the value n (n>1).
You can do it on your  way also:(Illustration on the users code)
struct my_structure (*ptr)[n] = &variable;
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
    scanf("%s",(*ptr)[i].name);
    scanf("%d",&((*ptr)[i].number));
    scanf("%d",&((*ptr)[i].rank));
}
...
    printf("%s",(*ptr)[i].name);
    printf("%d",((*ptr)[i].number));

Correct way to use scanf would be:-(Notice that here 19 is used - otherwise there is a chance of buffer overrun - and this is being checked using this.This is one less than the size of the array because of the \0 character ) (Correct way)
if(scanf("%19s",ptr[i].name) != 1){
    /* error in input */
    fprintf(stderr,"Error in input\n");
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Compile your program with all warnings enabled. gcc -Wall -Werror progname.c.

Clearly you don't even need to use this pointer - why would you do that? You can simply use the array itself in the scanf or printf.


God has called us to another year of reaching out to Chester County kids! Our Good News Clubs reach kids who often have no knowledge of God or the Bible, kids who are full of spiritual questions, or sometimes kids whose parents or grandparents are faithfully praying for them. We are so blessed to reach them through the Good News Club, meeting after school once a week in their school.
Last year we were in12 schools with 87 teachers and helpers reaching 425 children.
We are so thankful for all of the children we meet in Good News Clubs. We are grateful to be there, to listen to them, to answer their questions, and most of all to teach them the good news of Jesus.


This month, Netflix released a new documentary series about food called Rotten. While the network is known for mouthwatering documentaries like Chef's Table, this piece shows a very different side of the food industry. The show sheds light on fraud and corruption within the multibillion-dollar system. The six-episode true-crime series takes the viewers behind the scenes of a complicated world with plenty of ethical grey areas.
As the show's title indicates, the overarching theme throughout the episodes unveils a troubling situation bubbling just beneath the surface of a closely regulated industry. While the show reveals what the food industry is doing, it is not meant to chide viewers about poor food choices or eating habits.
Instead, each episode is meant to inform the viewer of unethical or illegal business behaviors in the system that impact almost everyone who eats food in the United States. In doing so, the stories examine dishonest food companies, flawed government regulations and the consequences of questionable international trade practices.
In Rotten, each episode focuses on the production and consumption of entirely different types of foods, such as fish, chicken, milk, honey, peanuts, and garlic. While the personalities range from farmers to scientists to consumers, the show interviews people from both sides of the issues raised.
The team who created Rotten, Zero Point Zero, have quite a bit of experience with the food industry. They are the same people behind the famous chef and TV personality Anthony Bourdain. Having brought shows like Parts Unknown and No Reservations to life, it seems logical that the same group would dig deeper into the complicated world of food.
The general idea behind the series is meant to help consumers think more about what's on their plates and how their decisions are helping shape the quality of their food. By making viewers uneasy about what is going on, the show nudges people and suggests that they start questioning how the food industry has shaped our lives.
Today, most people have come to associate their food sources as restaurants and grocery stores with little thought about the companies or people behind the items. But the message behind the series is clear: Think twice about where your food is really coming from, and do your best to be sure it's from a trusted source.

U.S. Education Needs Land Acknowledgements; Forget McCarthy's 'Woke Indoctrination'
by Dale Hudson | Jan 10, 2023 | Commentary
While land acknowledgements at events in Australia and Canada can often sound pro forma, they serve an important symbolic function. They remind everyone that the land upon which these events are held belonged to someone else and was often stolen.
Land acknowledgements can open up uncomfortable conversations about dispossession and genocide without extracting emotional labor from Indigenous people. These conversations are urgently needed in the United States. Most U.S. voters don't understand why.
Screengrab of launch page to "Exit Zero" with Land Acknowledgement box layered over the word "time."
Unpacking "Woke Indoctrination"
With his recent election as Speaker of the House of Representatives in the U.S. Congress, Kevin McCarthy announced that issues he finds urgent include "woke indoctrination" in education. His acceptance speech following 14 failed votes was published on YouTube by Forbes under the title "McCarthy Rips 'Woke Indoctrination', Open Borders, Inflation In First Speaker Speech."
Forbes Media is best known for its financial magazine and lists of billionaires. Much like other news media in the United States, it pushes the myth of the American Dream as wealth through smart investment and unearned income — not through hard work.
The term American Dream was conceived in the 1930s in more democratic terms of shared opportunity and achievement. Until the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, however, many U.S. citizens were excluded.
But popular culture expressions change meaning over time.
The term "woke" initially referred to someone who was educated about history and committed to social justice. Rightwing media and talk radio appropriated the term and redefined it as an existential threat to white people. The term is now a racist dog-whistle in the same category of as "gangs of rapists" flooding over the southern border.
It appears that "woke indoctrination" was added to McCarthy's speech as part of concessions to fringe white nationalists in the Republican Party. These white nationalists support the former president, deny the 2020 election results, and do not condemn the January 6th insurrection.

Normalized by Forbes, the racist dog-whistle is also an attack on U.S. education, historically under-funded precisely because it makes voters more difficult to manipulate.
It is possible to be patriotic without being nationalistic. Patriotism in the United States, however, requires acknowledgement of past violence and lies that the Republican Party believes are facts — or, perhaps, "alternative facts," in Kellyanne Conway's rebranding of state propaganda.
But patriotism does not need to follow the Democratic Party's whitewashed version of U.S. history, emphasizing the greatness of the idea of "America" to overcome its violent past without committing to reparations. It casts the United States as exceptional. The Republican Party laces U.S. exceptionalism with xenophobia and nationalism, bordering on neofascism.
Whether championed by either party, U.S. national exceptionalism is a naïve belief that the United States is inherently good, something difficult to swallow for anyone who has witnessed other countries or perhaps their own devastated by U.S.-backed dictators, free-trade policies, or military invasions.
It is also increasingly difficult for U.S. citizens to believe. Many voters oppose both the Democratic Party's free-trade policies and to the Republican Party's white nationalism. This patriotism through questioning and protesting has roots in the 1930s — and also the broad coalitions that challenged the World Trade Organization's policies at its 1999 meeting in Seattle.

Part of this linguistic confusion over education as "indoctrination" results from the defunding of public education at all levels in the United States combined with the corporatization of news media. Land acknowledgments initiates uncomfortable conversations, not only about reparations, but also about education.
Documentary, Augmented Reality, and Land Acknowledgement
Documentary is a media form premised on education. The term's etymological roots reside in the Latin word docere, meaning to teach.
Many people find documentary film and television boring because of its pedagogical function. At the same time, character-driven documentaries continue to make gains on cable television and streaming platforms — and even in theaters. These feature-length documentaries adopt Hollywood conventions of exceptional individual protagonists with clearly defined conflicts to overcome.
A recent example of this approach is "In Her Hands" (USA, 2022), a film about Zarifa Ghafari, considered the youngest woman mayor in Afghanistan. The film follows her career before and after the U.S. withdrawal of military forces and its return of the Taliban. Executive produced by Hilary and Chelsea Clinton, the film is streaming on Netflix and is anticipated to garner an Oscar nomination, a huge red flag when the documentary chronicles people who are neither White nor Western.
In contrast, independent documentary makers foreground more complex structures. Many projects have moved to interactive forms that are intuitive to use and can provide new documentary architectures to explore complexity.
As I've argued before in writing about interactive documentaries in the United States and Palestine/Israel, invisible geographies and inaudible histories need to be made present. Interactive documentaries mobilize these geographies and histories by augmenting reality with layers of information. This type of documentary operates as a form of land acknowledgement. It makes legible dispossessions and genocides imbedded in the histories of settler colonialism.
Interactive documentaries push documentary way beyond the character-driven feature-length documentaries. These documentaries explore the people who have lived in particular places over the centuries but who have been excluded from U.S. education beyond the superficial gestures.
Screen grab of collage of protest images in "Exit Zero."
S. Topiary Landberg's "Exit Zero: An Atlas of One City Block through Time" (2022) is a web-based interactive documentary about a single city block in central San Francisco and the site of multiple, dramatic transformations during the nearly 250-year history of the United States. As the documentary begins, the words "land acknowledgement" stop over the word "time" in the tagline "an atlas of one city block through time."
Screen grab from "Exit Zero" of hyper-gentrification without land acknowledgment.
Once in the heart of a vibrant multi-ethnic Victorian neighborhood, the block was transformed into a freeway exit, subsequently damaged by earthquake. It then became an interim-use community garden. Today, it is the site of a green-living apartment complex.
As a synecdoche of the dynamics of hyper-gentrification which translates as eviction of working-class and migrant communities that defines San Francisco today, "Exit Zero" invites its audience to get tangled in a web of interconnections that reveal the legacies of racial and environmental injustice to offer a complex view of San Francisco's history and identity as a progressive vanguard.
Gentrification — the involuntary displacement of one group of people by another — is part of a longer history of colonialism that requires land acknowledgements to understand.
Screen grab from "Exit Zero" of the documentary's architecture that allows multiple pathways.
Spain established its Mission in 1776 on Ohlone land where San Francisco presently exists a few days before the British settler-colonizers on the continent's east coast declared "independence," a nativist delusion. México ceded San Francisco, along with much of Alta California, today's southwestern United States, in 1848. A century and a half later, San Francisco found itself as part of the Silicon Valley with tech companies transforming working-class and immigrant neighborhoods into housing for millionaires and billionaires.
"Exit Zero" develops from Landberg's personal relationship to the San Francisco Peninsula. She is a digital artist, curator and scholar working in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Her work focuses on ever-shifting relationships with bodies and environments across academic writing, curated exhibits and film series, documentary and essay films, experimental media, live performance, and web-based media.
Using the microcosm of a single city block, "Exit Zero" allows users to navigate across time periods and explore connections through history using an interactive Metaphor Compass interface. Mapping the dynamics of competing narratives from precolonial Ohlone lands to privatized gentrification of today, "Exit Zero" facilitates ways in which the past needs to be acknowledged to understand the present. Rather than conceiving history along a singular axis of time, it shifts history in a different direction to unfold in an axis of space.
Screen grab of mapped land without acknowledgments from its residents from "Exit Zero."
"Exit Zero" opens with video layered with voices and images of the humans whose lives overlap and sometimes even intersect in this one block. The names of streets such as Laguna and Octavia, Fell and Oak, immediately signal the block has been occupied by different peoples and identities. Before these images and voices are presented, "Exit Zero" positions itself as a land acknowledgement, a symbolic act of recognizing land grabs and ethnic cleansing of dispossession and genocide needed for Western modernity.
Historically, the United States ghettoized indigenous peoples onto Indian Reservations, forcing them to migrate as much as 1500 km along the Trail of Tears. Approximately 60,000 members of "Five Civilized Tribes" which included Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminole, were dispossessed between 1830 and 1850. Thousands died. "Exit Zero" makes an important intervention into settler-colonizer epistemologies and historiographies. "Exit Zero" not only recognizes the indigenous Yelamu Ohlone, but also subsequent inhabitants displaced by gentrification. San Francisco is a site on continuous and ongoing colonization.
The architecture of "Exit Zero" allows users to follow one of three paths through the material: Timeline, Block, and Compass. The timeline appears linear, but Landberg enhances this trajectory with different colors, thickness of lines, and symbols that convey overlapping time. The green color for Yelamu Commons reappears in the green of Avalon Hayes Valley, yet the gentrified period does not include the tree symbols of the indigenous period.
The colors follow the logic of a traffic signal. Green indicates relatively positive relationships between humans and the environment; yellow, cautionary ones; and red, negative ones. However, the story is more complex that this one vector reveals. By clicking the spaces between the historical moments, videos files open that compile archival video and images that explain debates such as the freeway revolts of 1959 and 1990.
The Metaphor Compass replaces direction with environmental terms: north with the term sustainability; east, with plans; south, with mobility; and west with revolts. By clicking on any direction, different histories are marked on the Timeline appear. Sustainability opens to five subcategories or subdirections: Permaculture, The Commons, Green Living, Housing, and, Public Transportation.
Permaculture concerns the Hayes Valley Farm, set on 2.2 acres, which might seem tiny by planetary standards but is huge by San Francisco standards. The farm reclaims land once occupied by the freeway with a greenhouse at the site of exit zero and bee hives on the site of the on-ramp. For those who participate, the land become a way to reconnect with nature while still living in the city.

"Exit Zero" also links via StoryMaps to external sources, such as the San Francisco Estuary Institute's pages on the Yelamu describing the 13,500 years that Indigenous peoples lived on the land now called San Francisco. The Yelamu were forced to convert to Christianity. Most died within 4.5 years after their baptism due to "disease, overcrowding, malnourishment, and poor conditions." By 1842, only 15 remained on the land. Today it is believed that no descendants survived.
Another part of "Exit Zero" is Solastalgia, defined as "environmental melancholia" or human stress caused by environmental changes. A short video clip of a Victorian-era building being demolished illustrates the introduction. Scholar Glenn Albrecht focuses primarily on Indigenous solastalgia. Nonindigenous forms also in experiences of gentrification in San Francisco as documented in "Exit Zero."
Screen grab of bee hives where off-ramp one stood from "Exit Zero."
Accounts of English Ivy and hypodermic needles as "invasive species" rendered over video layered to appear scratched and accompanied by pensive piano music. Rendered in zippy graphics and up-tempo music, these images intermingle with accounts of San Francisco's dependency on cars as part of the ideology of the "American dream of freedom on wheels" as it coincides with U.S. military security during the Cold War.
"Exit Zero" thus augments our sense of space with layer upon layer of human experiences with, against, and for the land.
This documentary project is ultimately about the significance of land acknowledgments, symbolic acts that might contribute to the reeducation U.S. citizens after centuries of silence about these issues. "Exit Zero" works to counter the weaponization of education that rightwing political parties and politicians embrace.
It all starts with a land acknowledgement.

VIOLENT CRIME SHAKES LA
December 4, 2021 12:09 pm by IWB
Crews of burglars publicly smashing their way into Los Angeles' most exclusive stores. Robbers following their victims, including a star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and a BET host, to their residences. And this week, the fatal shooting of 81-year-old Jacqueline Avant, an admired philanthropist and wife of music legend Clarence Avant, in her Beverly Hills home.

After two years of rising violent crime in Los Angeles, these incidents have sparked a national conversation and led to local concern about both the crimes themselves and where the outrage over the violence will lead.
"The fact that this has happened, her being shot and killed in her own home, after giving, sharing, and caring for 81 years has shaken the laws of the Universe," declared Oprah Winfrey, expressing her grief over Avant's killing to her 43 million Twitter followers. "The world is upside down."

CONGRESSMAN DONALD M PAYNE of New Jersey, the first African American member of Congress from New Jersey and a great friend of Ireland, passed away on 28 February of complications from colon cancer.
Congressman Payne, a member of the Democratic Party, was recognised at one point in his Congressional career as having the most pro-Irish voting record in the entire US Congress. Amongst the legislation he introduced was a measure to ban the use of plastic bullets by the British Army and a bill to support an inquiry into the deaths of Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson.
Donald championed the cause of the Irish deportees, urging that they be permitted to remain in the US. He strongly supported the International Fund for Ireland and pushed for continued funding. His office hosted dozens of Irish interns over the years. A frequent visitor to Ireland, he accompanied former President Clinton on his historic trip to the North. He also travelled to South Africa to support the work of Irish volunteers building homes to replace shacks in the townships with his good friend, Niall Mellon, founder of the Niall Mellon Township Trust charity.
He joined Irish nationalists in monitoring the Orange Order parades to document violations against the Catholic residents of Garvaghy Road. A strong supporter of the Irish Peace Process, he personally met with leaders of all parties and with the 'US Envoy to Northern Ireland' to encourage successful implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.
The Congressman delivered the Frank Cahill Memorial Lecture in Belfast one year and was named the winner of the Pat Finucane Award by the Irish American Unity Conference in recognition of his support for human rights.


How can one get a Marti report on a Pantera? I tried, but it asks for more digits than a Pantera serial number has. Mine is THPNMA02986.
I haven't got a Marti Report yet, but just a guess, try adding 874 in front of the VIN.
Fairly sure Marti report is based on the 17 digit that requires a check digit. This requires a formula to calculate the correct check digit. Don't think the standard old school numbering system will not work in this case.
I just looked at Marti's website. After selecting "Pantera", it asks for an eleven digit VIN. I entered my Pantera's eleven digit VIN, added it to the cart, and proceeded to check out. Not sure what happened with your attempt.
Note that when asking for the VIN, there is a statement that says that if you have a car, your VIN should start with a number; if a truck, it starts with a letter. That statement doesn't appear to apply to a Pantera.
Morning. Try calling Kevin Marti directly. They've made numerous reports for me over the years. Keep in mind they do NOT have EVERY [U.S.] Pantera in their files. From my experience, they have about 80%. That being said, don't be surprised if your vin does not come up in his Ford records. Also check the report for accuracy. Frequently the production date on your door tag will not match the reports production date.
Thank you for the information. I am the second owner of my Pantera with 40 years of fun, and think I know the first owner's history very well. However, surprises might surface. I've had the engine rebuilt and tweaked by others, but replaced or upgraded everything that needed it by myself. So Marti history might be scant. It should be fun to look anyway.
It basically is going to tell you who the original selling dealer was and the original color. There is no other variation on a US car.
In the case of the '74's retitled by Ford as '73's, that may show if your car was originally sold in California and was built as a '74 model.
I'm not sure where Marti is getting all of his information from. I know that in the case of the '67 Shelby's, SAAC has supplied him with information, not Ford.
Some years ago I was talking to someone at a meet who said that their father worked for Ford and was responsible for the warranty claims on the Panteras. He said that information was kept on 3x5 index cards hand written. I should have kept his name and phone number. The significance of it didn't occur to me at the time.


An interesting take on hypnosis, Heroic Duo tells the story of a detective named Ken (Ekin Cheng) who is investigating an officer who set fire to the police station vault. Ken, believing the officer had been hypnotized, brings in a psychologist turned convict Jack (Leon Lai) to assist in finding out who hypnotized the officer. During their first meeting Ken becomes hypnotized by Jack who then escapes, and a game of cat and mouse ensues.

There's one item you need to avoid this back-to-school season parents...Playskool brand crayons.
The U.S. Public Interest Research Group that tests school supplies says these crayons have been found to contains trace amounts of asbestos.
There is no recall on these crayons, but Hasbro (the parent company of Playskool) is conducting a thorough investigation into these findings. The crayons manufacturer, Leap Year Publishing, is said to be doing the same according to The Washington Post.
The Playskool crayons in question are sold at Dollar Tree, Amazon and other retailers.
If you have started your back-to-school shopping and crayons were on the list, parents should double check that these were not the crayons they bought.
Carcinogens are considered to potentially cause cancer in living tissue according to Cancer.org, so really why take the risk with your kids if you don't have to.
Other back-to-school items U.S. PIRG found questionable were three-ring binders from Dollar Tree with high levels of phthalates and dry-erase markers were found to contain benzene, which is also considered a potential carcinogen.

We've all used the 'I'm too busy' ruse as an excuse not to exercise. But did you know that skipping your yoga class only makes it worse for you at the office? The lower back pain, carpal tunnel, stress or lack of focus you are experiencing can be caused by your lack of regular physical activity. There are ways you can have your fix of physical activity while you are stuck in your cubicle at work – it's called 'Deskercising'.
Deskercising involves doing stretching, muscle strengthening exercises right at your desk or any empty open space you have at work. It supplements your regular exercise routine and makes up for times when you don't have enough room in your schedule to attend a class.
Walk and talk to your co-workers instead of sending them email. What's the point of an email to a person sitting 10 cubicles away from you? Walk over there and work it out personally.
Take the stairs. Whether you're on your way to the cafeteria or to another department, skip taking the elevator if it's just 4-5 flights of stairs away from your floor. This will be hard at first, but before you know it, you're not even breaking a sweat climbing 5 floors.
Go to a stairwell or an empty conference room and simulate jumping rope or jumping jacks for 1 minute. An instant boost of energy for a particularly stressful day.
For Your Arms and Shoulders: Hold your chair arms and carefully lift your bottom off the chair. Do this 15 times.
For Your Back: Place both hands on your desk and slowly push your chair back as far back as you can with your head in between your arms. Pull yourself up again and repeat 15 times.
Reach for the sky by stretching both arms over your head, extending one arm higher than the other every 10 seconds.
Stretch your calves while printing out 200 copies of a 10 page report. Stand with both feet on the ground, press up on your toes, pause of 2 to 3 seconds then slowly come down.
Put on a catchy song on your music player and dance in your cubicle. Just make sure you're not disturbing anybody!
Simple enough, right? Doing these exercises at work can help you be more productive and avoid getting sucked into the sedentary lifestyle.

Automating vCenter Server 5.5 repoint to a new SSO 5.5 – have you tried reinstalling?
As you might have already read my previous post on Migrating from Embedded SSO to External PSC you probably know how tedious the vCenter Server 5.5 re-pointing process can be.
I've taken VMware's KB2033620 a wrapped it all up in Windows Batch Script to largely automate the process.
DISCLAIMER: The script provided here comes with zero support from VMware or myself. It is my own utility. Use at your own risk. It is your responsibility to take the necessary backups and precautions.
Inventory Service, vCenter Server, Web Client must all exist on this machine.
Advise to be running vCenter Server 5.5 U3e first as some bugs with the repointing process have been fixed with that release.
There is no error handling – if one of the services fail to repoint the script will still continue on.
Download the hytr-repoint_vc55.bat from HERE.
The initial output should be similar to the below.
You will be asked for the FQDN of the new SSO Server and the administrator@vsphere.local password.
"You have not unzipped sso_svccfg.zip"
"Unzip sso_svccfg.zip located at E:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\ssoregtool\ before proceeding"
Press CTRL+C to cancel and correct any variables and run the batch file again.
Awesome Ray, glad it was of help!
Have a specific question could you help please? Re-pointing to new 5.5 multisite SSO server I built for customer. During build I was offered a custom port, 8888 for http which I accepted. Repoint to this machine was successful.
"Unable to fetch or parse VC URL from vCenter ServiceInstance!
Resolution: VC URL in vCenter is unreadable. The vCenter Service may not be reachable.
Any ideas? do these ports need to be changed in SSO and vC?
Hi Ray, for this I would advise getting a support request open with VMware Support so they can investigate.
Féidhlim, is the bat file for this still available? Getting stuck with the migration and it's driving me nuts.
Hi Guys, has anyone else tried the script? I'm getting ready to upgrade our environment and this would come in really handy if it does indeed work. We have 9 5.5 vcenter servers in link-mode, which means i would need to break it up for each vcenter, one at a time, deploy a new SSO and run the script (9 times) to re-point each vcenter to its new SSO server.
