Tunisia was the first Arab country to rise against dictatorship and a lightning example to others. After the toppling of Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali, Egypt walked Tahrir square, Libya fought Gaddafi, Syria's Assad came under siege and regimes in the whole region rocked to their foundations, because all of a sudden people are prepared to pay with their lives for freedom.
Next Sunday, October 23 2011, elections are going to be held in Tunisia. 116 parties join in. The elected will gather in an assembly to write the new constitution of the country. The world is watching. Will the Tunisians achieve peaceful, free, transparent elections?
nonfiXe talked to politicians and voters, trying to temp the ambiance, in Tunis, El Kef and Sfax.
At the headquarters of the Islamic Ennahdha movement in El Kef, October 15, people walk in and out in excitement. Today's campaigning event went fine. Ennahdha is expected to win a majority these elections, even though there are still a lot of Tunisians afraid the party will try to implement strict Islamic regulations.
Ennahdha, often mentioned in one sentence with the Muslim Brotherhood, denies all allegations in respect of fundamentalist ideas and discrimination of women.
Mr Kadour spent four years in jail where Ben Ali's men tortured him. As a consequence of this, his left shoulder hangs lower then his right, the hand swags along like a dead animal behind a wagon. His left eye looks like a dazed star and speaking is difficult. He is lucky, he says. His wife stood with him, all these years. Although he was not allowed to work and had to report at the police four times a day after his release from jail. This little scarred man is not a criminal, he was an opponent of the Tunisian regime that held the country in a tight smothering grip for 23 years. Today, seventeen years after his release, he finally can open up about his membership of the Islamist party Nahdha – short for Ennahdha. A party that was forbidden for decades.
Ennahdha (Renaissance) writes in it's English version of the program that it is a movement for justice, freedom and development of Tunisia: 'Anyone who studies the path of Tunisia's civilization and culture over the last 150 years can perceive a three-dimensional public awareness within society and its cultural, political and administrative elites. The first is an awareness of the country's civilizational backwardness compared to the progress achieved by western nations, which has given rise to power, pride and prosperity thanks to the liberation of minds from illusions and the freedom from despotic rule. The second is a deep consciousness of the absolute necessity of bridging this gap by making every possible effort to acquire modern science and technology and develop administrative and political institutions so as to achieve efficiency, develop effective means of production and avert the scourge of despotism. The third is a deep awareness of, and confidence in, the validity of Islam and its heritage as a value and cultural reference and a basis for this project of reform and modernization through ijtihad (creative interpretation), tajdid (renewal), and the activation of dialogue with the contemporary concerns, sciences, and achievements of the modern age. These dimensions form the essence of the reform project and their relative significance continues to be the subject of ongoing debate.' You can read the English summary of the program on the website of Ennahdha.
After January 14, 2011, dictator Ben Ali finally resigned, or better fled. He was the first Arab dictator that succumbed to his people. One of which is with us today, visiting the Nahdha quarters in the city of Kef. Her name is Emna Dabbech, she is 21 years old and has to be in at the Tunis university campus before nine at night. Emna is always on time, but not last January when she spent days and nights at Kasba square in Tunis, shouting 'Dégage' and demanding freedom for herself and her people. Emna belongs to the brave facebook activists that organize themselves through social media and raise numbers, masses, to protest. She has the open face of youth and hope, certain of a better future, a free future. This revolution is the revolution of the young with the scent of jasmine hovering over it. 'We will never allow dictatorship again', Emna states with determination, in between translating Kadour's words at the Nahdha headquarters.
'Thirty thousand of us have been in prison,' Mr Kadour explains. 'I lost my brothers and dear friends.' He insists on telling their names. His soft voice merges in the words of other party members that flow into the room. Everybody wants to be heard. They all have stories like Kadour.
'I am very proud of yesterdays' demonstration against Nessma. We showed that we can object without violence,' Mrs El Omri says. Nessma is the television broadcast that showed Marjan Satrapi's Persepolis. A film celebrated in the West, but considered blasphemy in Islam spheres due to a drawing of Allah.
Tunisian sources say the big demonstration against the tv station is also due to the opportunist policy of the director who openly praised Ben Ali when he was in power and now claims to be a front runner on freedom of speech.
The upheaval around Persepolis shows Tunisia's struggle with the practice of democracy; What is freedom? How far can one go? How to deal with the grey area of one person's liberty and the other's sensibility? In the case of Nessma Tunisia chose to vote with their feet, advertisements were withdrawn and the majority protested peacefully, blocking the channel from their tv-sets. Only a small group of Salafists choose the violent way, threatened the director and threw stones. 'That is not the Ennahdha way,' Mrs El Omri states with kind persistence.

It's been 4 years since Zola Jesus (aka Nika Roza Danilova) released new material. Her last outing was the album Taiga and now she is back with this sumptuous electro gothic-tinged monster from her forthcoming 6th album Okovi ( Slavic for shackles, yeah I know you were all dying to know what it's translation was too!) which she recorded back in her home US state Wisconsin and is due for release in September.
The arrangements on Soak immediately reminded me of the classic Bjork album Homogenic. Haunting atmospherics, dramatic hair-raising vocals, imposing violins and interspersed breakneck percussion build to form a compelling climax. It is a winning formula and she produces these wondrous creations with ease.


For both Top Ender and Big Boy, Easter is a big part Religious Calender. Even when I wasn't going to Church on a weekly basis, we still celebrated Easter and what it means to us (The Resurrection of Christ, meaning that we can all be resurrected too) and so I don't know why I was surprised when BB came into my bedroom shortly after 6am this morning, fully dressed and asking to go downstairs... Even if he hasn't got up much before 9am since the Easter break from School started.
After Breakfast and our Scripture reading (we do it daily), BB was stuck for what to do. He'd already set up the Egg Hunt that he was in charge of this year and so I suggested some Easter crafting and opened the box of Easter craft items from Bostik.
The first thing BB did was find two little baskets in the box, he filled them with tiny pompoms and topped them with little chicks, that he rescued from my rampaging wind up Chick Rabbit hybrid.
I started gluing strips of tissue paper to an egg, I wasn't quite sure what I was hoping to achieve as I've never had much luck with the polystyrene eggs in the past, but it seemed to work and I eventually ended up with something that was rustic, but seemed to work.
BB saw what I was doing and started doing his own thing, but using a similar method. Adding a little glue from the Bostik Glue Pen and then sticking the tissue paper on the egg.
Eventually he got a little bored with that method (After attaching three bits of paper!) and decided to attack the egg with a blue marker, that looked a bit purple. Why blue/purple? So that it would look like a real egg of course... (yeah, I didn't get it either). We had some trouble attaching a pompom to the top of the egg, and in the end BB took matters into his own hands and folded a Bostik Tape Disc to attach the pompom to the top of the egg.
We go for the rustic look in our home when it comes to crafting.
The last craft that we attempted was attempting to make a little money bag for Top Ender. There had been a little sponge chick in the box, and BB traced round it on some little bags we had. After that, we used the glue pen to fill in the middle of the chick and then stuck sequins to the chick, before adding detail of a beak and little foot.
BB also decided that it needed to be prettier as it was for his sister and so he stuck two fabric flowers to the bag. I think that he did a pretty good job.
So, there you go some last minute Easter crafts for you to attempt today using various items you no doubt have stashed around your home! And am I the only one who has no ideas what to do with those little pompom things?
We were sent the items from Bostik, apart from the bags and tiny chicks as they were from my craft items.

Professor Denis Sullivan, who was exposed by our video (www.shameonneu.com) has now been removed from the official faculty list of the Jewish Studies Department at Northeastern University. He retains his position as head of Northeastern's Middle East Center. This makes four staffers at Northeastern who have been dismissed or have had their positions shifted in the wake of our video exposes.
Below is my analysis of why Jewish professors are reluctant to speak out in defense of Jewish students who tell them about anti-Israel professors at their schools.
Richard Cravatts' new book, "Genocidal Liberalism: The University's Jihad Against Israel and the Jews," concludes that across America, "it is the academics who lead the charge against Israel." This seems confirmed by our experience at Northeastern University (NEU), where anti-Israel (and anti-Semitic) professors have taught hundreds if not thousands of America's future leaders a negative and at times demonic view of the Jewish state and its supporters.
Apart from the damage this does to American support for Israel, it can also create a hostile climate on campus for Jews. Indeed, the Jewish students who appear on our NEU videos (www.shameonneu.com) complain that they feel culturally and ethnically assaulted in some classes.
But why are so many American college professors hostile to Israel? Cravatts explains that anti-Israelism fits perfectly into the worldview of many liberal professors as a twisted extension of the left's standard critique of the West. A simplified version goes like this: Western power, racism and xenophobia stand in the way of world peace, justice and equality. Israel is a projection of Western power, a European colony in the heart of indigenous, brown, impoverished innocents. Israel is bad because the West is bad, but also Israel's "oppression of the Palestinians" makes Westerners accessories to a crime which leftists insist is the most significant crime on the planet. Western holocaust guilt created this problem; decent Westerners must fight to right this wrong. The attacks on Israel and Jews attract non-leftists as well; Leftists now join with a growing influx of Muslims on U.S campuses for a powerful coalition.
On many campuses across the country, "Palestinianism" - the view that the greatest human rights sin on the planet is Jewish "oppression" of the Arabs - has become the reigning doctrine. Indeed, events such as the mass murder of civilians in Syria and horrific assaults on Christian communities in Sudan, Egypt and Iraq, or the subjugation of women, gays and minorities in the Muslim world, which don't fit the paradigm are mostly ignored.
Universities have become saturated with this thinking. Sadly, the Jewish response has been mostly silent acquiescence or denial.
Beginning in 2001, some Jewish activists, seeing that mainstream Jewish organizations were failing to act, launched grassroots organizations to address the campus problem. For the most part - but with some important exceptions - their strategies focused exclusively on educating Jewish students on campus about the Israeli-Arab conflict and preparing Jewish high schoolers for the campus battles that lay ahead. The unspoken assumption was that Jewish students could counter the leftist, often tenured faculty. If it wasn't clear then, it's obvious now that this was a false assumption.
While it is absolutely necessary to educate Jewish students - indeed, several of the grassroots groups do a fine and important job of it - given the forces arrayed against Israel on campus, it is simply insufficient. Without significant support of their communities, Jewish students - no matter how well-versed in historical truths - cannot possibly take on anti-Israel professors and the weak administrations that cower before them. In the face of an implacable combination of factors lined up against pro-Israel students on campus, viz., the professors, the weak administrators, leftist and "human rights" groups, Islamic groups and Islamic funding of universities - the Jewish community has left Jewish students virtually alone on the battlefield. There are exceptions that can be detailed in a later column.
But, one should ask, what about "our" professors - the Jews who teach on campus? Don't they help Jewish students confront the forces arrayed against them? Not so much - and it is a sad tale.
* Protect "academic freedom" at all costs. This is a red line which, if breeched, invites no end of possible interference from outside the Ivory Tower walls. Professors love their autonomy (and, I assume, their lack of accountability to the outside world). But Academic Freedom was granted to scholars so they could pursue the truth in a scientific, rigorous manner. Now with the triumph of relativism it has become a wild card, giving license to preach partisan biases as scholarship, undeterred. It is hard in today's academy to defend the idea of truth, or the existence of objective methods to distinguish lies and errors from true representations of reality.
* Anti-provincialism. "I didn't study so hard to become "the AIPAC professor of the Middle East." As liberals, Jewish professors have much criticism of Israel. Fair enough. But many have adopted a strictly universalist posture where defending one's own small tribe is seen as selfish and provincial. Better to be seen as caring for "everyone." For many of these academics to be Jewish is to be for the "other."
* Personal Peace Uber Alles: Professors are people who chose the contemplative life and do not wish to be embroiled in sour or hostile relations in their places of work.
* Job security and maximizing career opportunities. No disrespect intended, but perhaps this should be at the top of the list.
I understand that Jewish professors at NEU recently met to discuss our videos. We can only hope that some will decide to tell the public what they know, and stand up for honesty and academic rigor.
Powerful forces press people to remain loyal to their institutions - and their employers. Powerful forces have pushed Jews to express how non-tribal they are. These things might even prompt a Jewish teacher from Northeastern to write in to the Advocate defending and praising Professor Denis Sullivan, whose lectures, syllabi, curricula, and invited guests are shown on our video to be clearly designed to poison the minds of students against the Jewish state. Professor Sullivan typically invites a token Jewish professor to lecture in his class so he can say he's shown both sides. Perhaps this Jewish professor didn't know that. Perhaps now he will develop a regard for his dignity. Such a shift is not without precedent.
"I remember what would happen when a student would come to me, and report these incidences, and what could I really say to them other than 'well, first of all, you have to go back to the professor; maybe you misheard them; talk it through.' Then, if that's not the case they actually said that, the next thing I would say to them is 'you have to talk to the chair of your department.' And if that gave you no recourse you'd have to go and talk to the dean. Honestly I know what happened after I gave them my carefully, softly, gently-couched advice. None of the students would ever do that. You know it takes an awful lot of ego strength for a 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-year-old student to go back to a professor and to challenge him. I was very disappointed and disappointed in myself not to be able to get more people to speak out against these issues."
Rabbi Sheer tried to redeem himself by ending his silence. I truly hope that some (right now I'd take even one) of NEU's Jewish professors will say in public what they know and say among themselves: that their Jewish students are right to complain and should be helped.


The Schtick: This is a young, cask strength Ledaig expression bottled by Signatory Vintage and selected by Binny's. I don't know the maturation type, distillation or bottling year or cask number.
If you're wondering why this bottle image has the resolution of hot garbage, it's because Binny's website is terrible.
Nose: Buttered rolls, vanilla butter cream, super sweet icing note. Faint smokiness. Overall, very much a light, buttery, doughy dessert nose with some smoke on the back end.
Taste: Thick, rich, no real heat, despite the monster proof. Oily, rich, buttery mouth feel. Sweet lemon, vanilla, doughy dinner rolls. Faint minerality. Bold smoke presence and some pipe tobacco.
Finish: Long, growing heat. Very prominent smoke here taking over the previous dessert notes. Still very buttery presence though.
Overall: This was easily the most unique Ledaig that I have had before. The sweet nose, hugely rich mouth feel and buttery texture was really pleasant. Smoke balancing in the finish did it well, also.

We're tuning in to Cam's vlog, Cam I Am, to learn about the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to strengthen, encourage, and help us. When we listen to the Holy Spirit, we start developing a specific set of character qualities the Bible calls the "Fruit of the Spirit." The Bible calls it fruit because it shows up when we are growing in our faith.
In this week's episode of Cam I Am, Cam answered the question of the day by teaching us how the Holy Spirit helps us grow the fruit of the Spirit.
During eGroup time, we took a closer look at what the Bible says about love, joy, and peace. When we allow the Holy Spirit to help us show love, joy, and peace in our daily lives, it completely changes the way we interact with others. People will see the Holy Spirit working in us and want to spend more time with us when we put them ahead of ourselves, choose to have a glad attitude no matter what, and have peace instead of worry or fear.
While you eat breakfast this week, choose one of the following verses to read each day and talk about how you can show each fruit of the Spirit.
❤ Love – Putting others first.
😁 Joy – Choosing to be glad, even when it's hard.
✌🏼 Peace – Trusting God is in control.

City council commits to substation
https://council.nola.gov/home/
We need a substation and Entergy has backed out. Stimulus money is coming and it has an infrastructure aim. Both the mayor and city council talked about the stimulus money and the city council has just approved the money. The mayor has yet to be heard from.
The New Orleans City Council on Thursday voted to commit $30 million in federal stimulus money to build a new substation for drainage pumps, which city officials broadly agree is one of the city's top infrastructure priorities despite disagreement on the best way to pay for it. The unanimous votes on City Council member Joe Giarrusso's package of measures defied the wishes of officials in Mayor LaToya Cantrell's administration, who have said they want to consider other funding sources for the project. Cantrell ultimately will decide how the substation for the Sewerage & Water Board gets paid for, as the funding designated by the council remains under her purview to pay out. She can also veto the council's ordinances, though more than enough members have voted for them to override a potential veto. An administration spokesperson declined to comment on the mayor's plans.
Entergy is still in the mix, and there will be discussions with them in the near future.
Giarrusso said he plans to meet with the administration, Entergy New Orleans and the S&WB next Wednesday to figure out the next steps. "If there are paper barriers to jump starting construction, how do we break through this?" Giarrusso said. "Everybody has said we need the substation." The need for additional substation funding comes after Entergy New Orleans stepped back from its agreement to finance $34 million of the $74 million cost. Cantrell joined council members and utility executives last June in celebrating the deal for the substation, which would supply modern power to old S&WB pumps. Under the terms of the deal, the city and state would have kicked in $20 million apiece for additional equipment and the S&WB would have paid Entergy back over several years. The deal called for Entergy to serve as project manager on the construction project, and to own and operate the facility once completed. Entergy said last month it could not afford to hold up its financing commitment, but would follow through with its other responsibilities if there is another way to pay for construction.
The stimulus money came at a good time as Ida showed the weakness in our energy system.
The stimulus bill passed last year with $350 billion for local governments to spend on a range of priorities. The Biden administration allocated $387.5 million to New Orleans, the first half of which was delivered last year. The second half is expected to arrive in May. Administration officials have said they are not opposed to using the second half for the substation, but have been hesitant to commit. Cantrell wants to reserve the first half for pandemic-related budget shortfalls, which she says could continue through 2025. She wants to dip into the second half for recruitment and retention bonuses, additional human resources staff and other personnel moves aimed at shoring up a city workforce that has seen an 11% reduction since the pandemic. Giarrusso's measures create a special fund for the substation and appropriate $30 million in stimulus money to the new fund. The measures don't specify which portion of the stimulus money that the fund would draw from. Giarrusso said some of the money could from the stimulus money currently on hand, and the rest from the second half. When the deal was initially announced, plans called for the substation to be ready in time for 2023 hurricane season, a prospect that officials now say is unlikely. At present, the only way to power the old S&WB pumps is with the utility's antiquated in-house generators, which frequently break down.
Of course this begs the issue of why do we still use the old S&WB pumps?

Victoria Christine Josslin
December 12, 1946 – May 12, 2019
Friday, June 14, 2019 1:30am
Victoria Christine Josslin, resident of Bainbridge Island, Washington and Albuquerque, New Mexico, died of natural causes on May 12, 2019.
She was born on December 12, 1946 in Dunnigan, California, the first child of C.W. and Katherine Bernice Jones, née Metz. In 1949, the family moved to Bothell, Washington. Here, Victoria became an older sister to Bob and Elizabeth. When she was nine, the family relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where brother Mark was born. In high school, Victoria studied French and German, spent a summer abroad in Switzerland, and played guitar in a folk band with her then boyfriend, David Margolin.
At Occidental College in Pasadena, California, Victoria majored in painting, and received her BA in 1969. While there, she met and married a CalTech graduate student, Richard Josslin. She taught children at a Montessori school before having two of her own, Dana and Burke. In 1976, the family moved from San Pedro to Los Angeles, where she created abstract oil and watercolor paintings, sang in the choir of Westwood Presbyterian Church, and volunteered at the St. Paul the Apostle School Library. She also sewed fabulous Halloween costumes such as Burke's James Bond tuxedo, entertained guests by playing the piano while wearing a gorilla mask, and threw birthday parties during which kids pinned the fangs on Dracula.
In 1986, the Josslin family moved to Bainbridge Island, Washington, where Victoria became a lifelong member of the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church Choir. As her first marriage ended, she returned to school, and received an MA in Art History from the University of Washington in 1995. She went on to write art reviews for many publications including The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Glass Quarterly. In 1999, she founded her own online regional arts magazine, Artdish, which she published for five years. From 2003 to 2013, she served as the Director of Education and Information at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts. As a writer, editor and educator, Victoria loved to encourage people to talk about art, whether they were professional artists, the gallery-going public, or middle schoolers about to compose their first artist's statement. In 2017, she distributed her collected art writings, How does it feel to be in the same room with it?
After her mother ordered a CD from David Margolin, by then a fiddler in the 5 Dog String Band, Victoria and David reconnected. They were married at St. Barnabas in 2011. Afterwards, they divided their time between Bainbridge Island and David's home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In addition to gardening, befriending local dogs, and traveling to Seoul and Paris, Victoria turned her focus from art to fiction. In 2018, she published her first novel, The Bookstore of Other Languages, and the following year founded a Facebook page for friends who wanted to discuss books, The Shelf of Endless Possibilities.
Victoria was looking forward to having her granddaughter much closer than she had been in Korea or Texas; meeting the famous DB; spending two weeks in Germany, immersed in the language she'd been studying since high school; wandering through the long and growing list she had compiled of novels by authors from distant cultures; and putting all of this future on her own personal shelf of possibilities.
Victoria is survived by her husband, David Margolin; children, Dana and Burke (Nahyun) Josslin; siblings, Elizabeth (Mike) Medes and Mark Jones; mother, Katherine Bernice Jones; and granddaughter, Karen Kim Josslin.
The funeral service will be held at one o'clock on Saturday, June 29 at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church with the Reverend Karen Haig officiating.
Memorial donations may be made to the Episcopal Relief & Development's Global Needs Fund at episcopalrelief.org.

Schmuck & Co - Page 2 of 10 - Join us, but not like in a cult way.
In honor of my fifth anniversary with Alan I wanted to compare our first year and fifth year of our relationship. A lot has changed in the past few years. We've gone from long distance and not seeing each other for months at a time, to living and working together. So you know, just a little bit different.
The first year of our relationship was an absolute whirlwind. We started dating two weeks before I did a six week study abroad trip to Ireland. After spending six weeks in different countries I came home and spent less than 24 hours with Alan before he flew to Guatemala for two weeks. Once we finished all our travels we could finally spend some time together. Or so you'd think. We were both in college and Alan went to school in Boston while I was studying in LA. Once Alan came back from Guatemala we spent two wonderful weeks together before he went back to Boston for school. When he was in school we talked everyday for hours and hours on end, but weren't able to see each other for two months. In October I was finally able to fly to Boston for the weekend to see Alan.
I needed a few staples from Sephora and then ended up spending two hours swatching the entire store. Naturally I ended up taking far too many products home with me. Here is everything I decided to buy with some mini reviews and explanations of why I bought it. Everything is linked below.
I want to start doing monthly favorites so I've been trying a bunch of new products in May. These are all of the things that I'm loving. Like any beauty that I talk about all of these products are cruelty free and most of them are vegan.
It is rare that I find a magazine that I actually want to read, but Darling Magazine is way more than just a magazine. It is geared specifically to empowering women. They pride themselves on not photoshopping any of the women who appear in it. Most magazines make women feel horrible because they are all about how to lose weight, look good for a guy, do something men like in bed, and generally about tearing woman down as opposed to building them up. All the articles are written by women talking about an array of different experiences and subjects. It is a wonderful magazine and definitely worth reading.
So my last what I ate in a day video I mentioned that I was changing my diet to incorporate more protein into my diet and that I was eating a lot more faux meat in order to do it. Well that quickly ended. All the faux meat was making me feel horrible so I went back to focusing on whole foods and getting protein from legumes, tofu, and protein powders (that aren't just sugar/crap). I kept mentioning in the video that I found a pea protein that I actually like. Most protein powders taste horrible and are full of crap so I was really excited when I found protein powder that has one ingredient and tastes fine.
I stupidly never actually showed you the protein power, but I found a link to it online so here it is: 365 Organic Pea Protein. This protein powder has one ingredient (pea protein isolate) which is one of the reasons I was attracted to it. I like to buy things that have as few ingredients as possible and don't have a bunch of things that I can't even pronounce. I've only had this protein powder mixed into a smoothie or in oatmeal so I don't know how it tastes just mixed with non-dairy milk or water. Mixed into things the taste is barely noticeable. There is a very subtle pea flavor that I don't mind at all. I really enjoy the taste of most green veggies so it add flavor to my (generally) green smoothies. I recommend trying this powder if you have a hard time stomaching most protein powders and want something more natural.
I tried a bunch of vegan snacks from Thrive Market with Alan (my fiancee). Some of them turned out to be delicious and some of them were inedible. You'll have to watch the video to find out which snacks were good and what was bad.
I would just like to say that I don't eat like this all the time, but it is always fun to seek out new and weird vegan snacks to try. I stick to eating primarily whole plant foods, but if it's vegan and it sounds good I'll try it. I think there is too much focus on eating a certain way in the vegan community. I don't see the point in limiting your diet even more then limiting it to being plant based. This is why when I was shopping on Thrive Market and found a snack that sounded tasty or weird like vegan jerky I bought it.
If you saw my last video then you'd know I just received my May Vegan Cuts Snack Box. In the last week I've done some serious snacking in order to try everything in the box. The box came with 12 snacks so this was quite a mission. There were some hits and some definite misses. Turns out snack boxes are really great if you ever wanted an easy way to find vegan snacks.
I absolutely love popcorn so I was really excited when I saw this cheddar flavored "pipcorn". Sadly, I wasn't too in love with the flavor. It definitely has a slight cheddar flavor, but it isn't enough chees. I love me some cheese flavor. These are called pipcorn and not popcorn because they are smaller pieces of popcorn. It just seems like a gimmick and a weak selling point. I missed the size of normal popcorn kernels as I ate these. However, I do love that all their products are vegan and that they use natural ingredients. They also promote having "3x more pipcorn per cup than the other guys" which definitely seemed true. They actually filled the bag with kernels instead of mostly air.
I ordered the Vegan Cuts Snack Box and this month was my first box. I wanted to share all the yummy snacks that came in it and give my thoughts of what I'm excited to try and what sounds kind of gross. If you want to read my full review of all the snacks come back Wednesday for my next blog.
I love Alan with every fiber in my being and know that I know I want him as my husband, that doesn't mean I haven't had some anxiety about getting married. It has never been about whether or not I picked the right guy. At least I know I've done that right. That said, the wedding and what people expect from a couple has given me anxiety.
It's silly to me that Alan and I got criticized for getting engaged "too young" and are now getting criticized for taking "too long" to get married. Alan and I have been focused on different things and we are only now focusing on planning this damn wedding.
We got engaged two years ago. I was 23 years old. People were so surprised that I would make such a serious commitment at such a young age. That was probably because they assumed I would immediately get married. That was my original plan. Alan (my fiancée) and I have been together since we were 20 and have known each other since we were 15. Getting engaged at 23 didn't seem too fast. Now that we are looking to get married Spring of 2018 I know it definitely isn't fast.
I wanted to mix up my wardrobe for spring so I decided to do a little online shopping and bought a few pieces from Old Navy. I seem to always find myself not having enough tops. Of course by that I mean I have a ton of shirts, but I never want to wear any of them. One day I was feeling like nothing in my wardrobe was cute and trying on 38912 outfits before I finally settled on a shirt that I felt gross in, but I need to leave the house. Naturally this made me go online and try to find some cute options. I enjoy shopping at Old Navy because they have inexpensive clothing that are well made and cute. I tried to restrain myself this time and only buy a few items, but I also wanted to share them.
I mention a few times in the video that I find it really important to feel good in the clothing that you wear even if you aren't happy with your size. I've struggled with my weight even since I was about 10 (thanks faulty thyroid for screwing me over) so I'm very used to not feeling happy in clothing. From personal experience I'm happier with my body and have healthy habits when I'm comfortable in my clothing. When things feel too small or I feel unattractive in them then I tend to think what's the point in eating healthy I'm already not the size I want to be. So to stop myself from self-sabotage I buy a few new pieces of clothing when I'm feeling this way. I've done the opposite and decided I wasn't going to buy anything because I wanted to loose weight, but sometimes that doesn't happen as quickly was you want it to and you just have to buy a few things to make your feel better.
Alan and I went to the LA VegFest and ate a bunch of yummy vegan food, bought a few cool items, and roasted in the sun. Products mentioned in the video: Humaneproject.com and Go Vegan Chicks.
Festivals sound wonderful to me in theory, but in practice I don't love them. I love the idea of mingling with a bunch of like minded people while looking at products and food that I like. That being said I hate crowds and the heat. This Sunday was an especially warm day and my body does not deal with high temperatures well at all. Seriously the heat affected me for days afterward. The crowds weren't that bad unless you were trying to buy anything. The lines for the food made the whole event hard to enjoy. Alan and I were starving when we arrived and we waited over an hour to order and get our food. Combine that with 90 degree weather and you get a grumpy Jordanna.
Now lets talk about the food. I didn't actually eat that much at VegFest. This was both due to long lines and high prices. I didn't want to spend tons of money on food so I only got a few things. The best food that I had was from Mommy Tang. If you aren't familiar with her youtube channel, and you like Korean cooking, I would highly recommend checking her out. She did a cooking demo at one of the tents and then passed out samples of her food. It was so delicious! It refueled my desire to learn how to cook more Asian dishes. The second best dish I had was the donut from Donut Friend. I've been vegan for over a year and half and I've tried a fair amount of vegan donuts, but none come close to Donut Friend. Most vegan attempts at making donuts end up tasting too bready or bland. The donut tasted like a regular donut; just a good old, delicious donut. If you are in the LA area go try their food. I know I'll be sampling a few more.

35 Inspirational Gareth Bale Quotes On Success
Gareth Frank Bale is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, on loan from Real Madrid, and captains the Wales national team. Bale began his professional career at Southampton, playing at left-back and earning acclaim as a free kick specialist. Bale moved to Tottenham Hotspur in 2007, for an eventual £7 million fee. During his time at Tottenham, managerial and tactical shifts saw him transform into a more attacking player. From the 2009–10 season, under the guidance of Harry Redknapp, Bale became an integral part of the team, rising to international attention during the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League. In 2011 and 2013 he was named PFA Players' Player of the Year, and was named in the UEFA Team of the Year. In 2013, he was also named PFA Young Player of the Year, the FWA Footballer of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season. He was nominated to the PFA Team of the Year three times in a row between 2011 and 2013. On 1 September 2013, Bale was transferred to Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee. Press at the time reported the transfer value at figures between €91 million and €100 million. In January 2016, documents pertaining to the transfer were leaked which confirmed a then-world record transfer fee of €100.8 million, eclipsing the previous record fee of £80 million (€94 million) the club paid for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. Bale played an integral role in his first season at Real Madrid, helping the club to win the 2013–14 Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League, scoring in both finals. The following season, he won the UEFA Super Cup and scored in a third major final to help the club win the FIFA Club World Cup. Two years later, he was a key player in another Champions League run, winning the 2015–16 title and being elected to the UEFA Squad of the Season. He was also a finalist in the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award, and was named Man of the Match as he scored an overhead kick in the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final.

Bolton Willing To Defy White House, Testify In Impeachment Inquiry: Report
02:49 - News
John Bolton, whom President Trump in September fired from his post as national security adviser, is reportedly willing to testify in the House impeachment inquiry, defying an order from the White House.
Bolton would testify "about his alarm at the Ukraine pressure campaign if a federal court clears the way, according to people familiar with his views," The Washington Post reported Thursday. He is "expected to confirm their statements and describe his conversations with Trump, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry."
However, Bolton, a longtime GOP foreign policy adviser, does not want to comply with the Democratic inquiry without a court ruling on the ongoing constitutional dispute between the Trump administration and Congress, the people said.
It remains unclear how quickly that could happen — and whether it would be in time for Bolton to be called as a witness in the public House impeachment hearings, which are scheduled to begin next week. On Wednesday, House Democrats said they are awaiting a key test case involving former White House counsel Donald McGahn, in which a district-court decision could come by the end of this month.
His testimony, the Post wrote, "is expected to be 'damaging' to Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter."
Weeks before Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the president put on hold $391 million in aid to the nation. He says he did so to pressure other nations to contribute more money and to take time to examine programs. Democrats, though, say it was a clear quid pro quo: Dig up some dirt on Joe Biden and his son, or no money.
In the call, Trump urged Zelensky to cooperate with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on an investigation into Biden's son, Hunter, who worked with a natural gas company owned by a Ukrainian oligarch. Joe Biden in 2016 reportedly called for the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor who had reportedly been investigating allegations about Hunter.
Here's exactly what Trump said regarding Biden's son, according to a transcript released by the White House:
"I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me."
As for a quid pro quo, here's what Trump said:
"I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you're surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible."
The courts are now determining whether White House officials must testify if subpoenaed. Several cases are moving through the process. And The Post says "there is a major obstacle facing Democrats hoping to secure Bolton as a star witness: the court battle over congressional subpoenas will probably go to the Supreme Court and spill into next year."

Ten years ago today was the first Uno Lady show.
It was Coffinberry, Sun God, and Uno Lady at Pat's in the Flats for the annual Thanksgiving Day bash. I was lucky enough to play with my two favorite Cleveland bands at the time. These photos are by the talented Lou Muenz.

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is an immense and very unique coral reef. The continent of Australia, in the southern hemisphere, is about as big as the entire United States. One of Earth's wonders - the Great Barrier Reef - is located off the northeastern side of Australia. It is the largest biological structure on Earth and one of the only naturally occurring structures that can be seen by satellite.
The Great Barrier Reef is not one reef but a chain of over 2,000 reefs located anywhere from 10 to 150 miles off the northeastern coast of the territory of Queensland in Australia - extending some 1,250 miles from north to south. It is actually not a true barrier reef as defined by the 'classic' coral reef formation and originally described by Charles Darwin in the 1800's.
Most of the Great Barrier Reef is almost entirely underwater. Wistari Reef (left) is in the foreground and Heron Reef is in the background separated by a deep channel. Part of Heron Reef filled in with debris (mostly broken coral) and a cay, knows as Heron Island, formed. These reefs are typical of the Great Barrier Reef. Each of the 2,000 reefs making up the Great Barrier Reef has its own particular shape and name.
Australia is not a true barrier reef because it is a continental island (not volcanic) and is not sinking. It is unique among coral reefs. Its history began some 15,000 years ago when Earth was experiencing an ice age and much of North America was covered with glaciers. These glaciers held a lot of Earth's water so that the oceans were some 300-400 feet lower than they are today. The area that is now the Great Barrier Reef was a broad, flat, coastal plain then - land, not sea. Coral larvae, in the ocean, had settled along the edge of this plain and grown into coral heads as a reef (similar to the formation of a 'classical' fringing reef).
Gradually, the glaciers melted and sea level rose to its present height where it stabilized about 6,500 years ago. As the sea covered the coastal plain on Australia's northeast coast, many of the coral heads grew upward. About 2,000 of these grew fast enough to keep the upper (living) part of the reef in the lighted surface waters so the symbiotic zooxanthellae, in the coral animal's tissues, could live.
As sea level stabilized these isolated individual reefs began to grow out. Their tops were "mowed down" by waves, tides and storms so they remained just under the surface of the water but expanded in width (just as you saw Wistari Reef in the foreground of the last image). Each reef is unique - many are table reefs (like Wistari) but some are long, thin, ribbon reefs.
Unaware of the spectacular reef below, visitors approaching the cay, called Heron Island, are in for a treat. Heron Island has been quite stable for a long time and has a lot of plant growth on it contributing to its stabilization. There is a marine lab and a resort on this tiny island.
People used to row across the reef before the harbor was built on Heron Island. This view from Heron Island at high tide shows the structure used to hoist baggage and supplies out of the boats at high tide while people waded ashore. At low tide the baggage and supplies could be retrieved without any chance of it getting soaked.
The reef is exposed at low tide, often leaving over 100 yards of low tide reef area to walk across before getting to the edge of the reef.
The edge of the reef has the most life as the reef continues to grow and expand. Jumping off the edge of the reef one is immediately amazed at the diversity of coral. Each reef has its own diversity and patchiness. Although the coral makes the reef, there are many species, like these fish, who make their home in and amongst the coral.
Some areas of the reef are dominated by a few species. Here, at high tide, a snorkler dives down to the flat top of this part of the reef made up almost entirely of staghorn coral. A close-up of staghorn coral shows its colonial nature - each flower-like cluster is a single coral animal called a polyp, living condo-style, one next to the other protected by their fused corallites.
Some areas of the reef are diverse. Coral comes in many shapes, sizes and colors.
Brain coral polyps are hard to distinguish. The polyps of brain coral form rows (from asexual reproduction called cloning) where they do not separate their corallites next to each other (an unusual growth pattern). These rows look like the ridges in a vertebrate brain. If you look closely in the above image you can see where the individual polyps would be found. A close-up of brain coral reminds you of the colonial nature of most reef building corals and shows one polyp dividing in the center.
All this change and growth is due to as many as 70 or more species of reef building coral (hermatypic) building the reef up and out as they grow. Each polyp secretes its skeleton (the corallite) with thin walls (called radiating septa) pointing toward the mouth. Each species competes for food and space, often becoming (or creating) a home or hiding place for other species. Physical breakdown offsets this biological buildup as tides, waves and storms "mow down" the upward growth, depositing rubble to fill in channels or form cays on the reef. Biological breakdown occurs on reefs as organisms eat each other. Over time each reef changes both in shape and species as all these forces interact. There are many other species of animals besides the reef building corals that are important on the reef. Several soft corals (some called sea fans or gorgonians) contribute greatly. The soft corals do not form the stony corallite skeletons but they do secrete some calcium - that may end up cemented as part of the reef.
Gorgonians (sea fans) are similar to true coral. The many identical, very tiny, polyps of sea fans all came from one parent - together they secrete a firm, but flexible skeleton (with calcium) to hide in. Pieces of these sea fan skeletons can help to form the reef. Soft coral polyps always have eight (pennately branched like an antennae) tentacles on each polyp and are almost always colonial (cloning).
Other soft corals have no skeletal hiding place, such as this cauliflower coral. Their tissues have chemicals called terpenes that are toxic to most fish and other would-be predators. When in contact with soft corals the hard corals lay down calcium carbonate and put up a wall to imprison it. These soft corals can move and may leave a trail on the hard coral.
Besides corals, the Great Barrier Reef is alive with an incredible diversity of creatures including invertebrates (like sponges, worms, slugs, clams, seastars and anemones), and vertebrates (like fish, sharks and birds).
Clownfishes (anemonefishes) and sea anemones have a unique and interesting symbiotic relationship in the tropical Pacific Ocean. This results in the clownfish's ability to hide in the anemone's tentacles for protection. In return for the protection given by the anemone, the clownfish often catches food and brings it to the anemone. Sometimes a clownfish will grab another fish by the fin and pull it into the stinging anemone tentacles where it is killed. But the resident clownfish is not hurt.
Sharks are one of the major predators on the Great Barrier Reef. These whitetip and gray reef sharks are usually on the prowl looking for food. They may congregate, at low tide, in small indentations in the reef edge that collect the warm water running off the reef flat. There is often a lot of food in this reef runoff. These sharks remind us that all is not safe on the Great Barrier Reef.
Although this crown of thorns sea star is not deadly - its spines can inflict a painful wound on humans that usually kills the skin area. The crown of thorns is a coral eater. In recent years there has been an increase in its population on many Pacific coral reefs, including the Great Barrier Reef. Some of these reefs have been heavily damaged and may be endangered from this predator.
Marine turtles are common in Australian waters and provide a wonderful experience for divers. The tend to 'hang out' near particular beaches where they nest onshore but it is only the females who come ashore. The males stay in the water and mating is in the water. Thanks to the summer 2006 Marine Science student who donated her photo for inclusion in this lesson.
Marine turtles may use Australian beaches, during the Australian summer from November to February, for reproduction sites. Six species of marine turtles are found in Australia but only 3 use the Great Barrier Reef for nesting - the green, loggerhead and hawksbill.
Many seabirds may nest on the islands of the Great Barrier Reef. On Heron Island 120,000 black noddys arrive during Christmas time. 50,000 mate, build nests in the trees and raise their young each year. The noddys stay on their nest until the baby hatches. They feed the baby regurgitated fish caught in the surrounding waters. In March or April they all leave to fly north.
Many other birds are found along the Great Barrier Reef. Most are fish eaters, like this underground nesting mutton bird, and most use the prolific reef for their dinner table.
As we say good-bye to the Great Barrier Reef we are reminded of its origin as sea level rose over a continent, in the warm water tropics; its true coral that forms the reef itself; the many species of marine life living in and on the reef including poisonous forms; and creatures like the turtles and birds that rely on the reef for food and use the island for reproduction.

Eddie Henderson Quartet
Eastside Jazz Club
Birmingham Conservatoire
Eddie Henderson – Trumpet
Bruce Barth – Piano
Arnie Somogyi – Bass
Stephen Keogh – Drums
What a joy it was to hear Eddie Henderson. The fact that he is half way through a European tour at the age of 77 is remarkable enough. That he is still playing the trumpet, the most demanding of instruments, with the energy, vibrancy, intensity and creativity that he displayed tonight is astounding. Not often you get to see one of the remaining jazz legends so on top of their game, but he was totally running things here.
The opener, the title track from his quintet album from 1990, 'Think On Me', set the mood for the first set, expansive, moody, swinging with just a touch of Latin thrown in and plenty of space for some fierce soloing from Eddie and pianist Bruce Barth. Barth was the other star of the show, you can hear plenty of McCoy and Herbie in his playing, but he emulates rather than imitates. His solo on Arnie Somogyi's 'Joe's Blow' was powerful and dominating but not at the expense of the rest of the rhythm section, with Arnie and drummer Stephen Keogh happy and confident enough, to take a backseat for most of the evening.
The first part of the concert was recorded for broadcast for Radio 3's 'J to Z' show, so we were treated to a couple of short interludes with Eddie talking to presenter Julian Joseph about playing with Mwandishi, early encounters with Louis Armstrong, upsetting Miles and being the U.S's first, and I would guess only, national figure skating champion.
The warmth of his conversation came across beautifully through his horn. He recounted his memories of playing with Kenny Barron in his intro to 'Phantoms', a dark and funky original by the pianist. The simple structure of the tune allowed Eddie to play a fantastic, hypnotic muted solo and it was here he sounded most like his mentor, Miles.
And then the highlight of the evening, an up-tempo and uplifting take on Woody Shaw's 'Moontrane'. How lucky we were to hear one of the great standards of modern jazz played by one of its master. It closed the set and was met with a thunderous ovation from the audience. The second set couldn't quite match the first, probably because the band wore themselves out signing autographs and talking to audience members during the break. They took a chorus to get going on 'Surrey With The Fringe On Top', before slipping into a heavy fusion groove on 'Dreams'. Here they focused on the melody, turning the moody atmosphere of the original into a very pretty modal waltz. Duke Pearson's beautiful ballad 'After the Rain' was, well… beautiful with bass and drums providing peaceful and controlled accompaniment to the two soloists. The band finished with a down home version of 'Toys', that really bought out the blues feeling of Herbie's original.
Credit to The Birmingham Conservatoire for hosting the concert and for making the tickets so affordable at only £8.00. The new Eastside Jazz Club opened in September and is probably the best place to hear jazz in Birmingham. The 80-seater venue is warm and intimate, with great sightlines, atmospheric low-level lighting and fantastic acoustics. It's a place that plays host to a vast number of young and exciting musicians not least at next month's 'Exit Velocity Festival', where students and graduates from the universities Jazz Department will be performing alongside established artists including Clark Tracey and Kit Downes.
The First Set and Interview with Eddie Henderson will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on the 'J to Z' programme on Saturday 12th May at 5.00pm. Full details of the Exit Velocity Festival are available at www.bcu.ac.uk/concerts and via Twitter @BirmConsJazz and @JazzTromboneUK

DORNIER will present its Composite Systems® business unit at the JEC World composite materials exhibition in Paris from March 6. - 8. The machine builder continues to establish its reputation as a system partner for component, fiber and polymer manufacturers for all matters relating to machinery and systems for manufacturing semi-finished textiles made from high-performance fibers.
Handcrafted single-item production, small lots – these keywords still characterize the production of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) in all sectors which count on lightweight, fiber-based structural applications, including aerospace, automobile construction, machinebuilding and even architecture. This is why textile research institutions and sector enterprises are pushing to develop reliable, economical processes for manufacturing FRP components on an industrial scale. Their efforts are concentrated on new developments and advancements of machinery used to make semi-finished goods from carbon, glass, aramide and basalt for composites.
It is common knowledge in the industry that carbon fabrics for aircraft wings, car parts and medical technology all over the world are produced on DORNIER P1 roving weaving machines. But meanwhile the machine builder also serves the very vibrant tape market with its own production plant. The system is capable of producing dry and fully impregnated tapes in widths up to 600 mm and at speeds up to 30 m/min. Based on a special impregnation unit, the tapes now are impregnated with thermoplastic matrix material inline – previously this had to be done in a second step. The uniform and controlled alignment of the fibers for the impregnation process is realized by a complex spreading mechanism, also developed by DORNIER. "We obtain very high spreading values", adds Dr. Klingele.
In order to meet customers' requirements as completely as possible, DORNIER has established a technology center where specific system concepts for manufacturing semi-finished goods are tested, and customer trials are conducted. For example on 3D weaving machines, which weave in all three spatial directions. The machine builder from Lake Constance, which invests eight percent of its annual turnover in research and development, with these units offers its pioneering response to the trend towards lightweight textiles for mobility. "In the future, 3D fabrics will become indispensable elements in cars and aircraft", of that, Klingele has no doubt.

Violence, Memory, and Religion among Survivors of Clerical Sexual Abuse
Robert Orsi
Date: Wednesday, April 4, 2018
Time: 5 - 6:15 pm
Location: Devlin Hall 008 *NOTE: new time and location!*
RSVP Requested.
Abstract: Robert Orsi will address the many ways in which those survivors of clerical sexual abuse who remain connected to the Catholic Church understand the impact of that trauma on their lives and their relationship to God. What theological, psychological, historical and anthropological frameworks do they find most helpful in understanding and dealing with that experience? And how do scholars of religion think about the experience of violence perpetrated by the clergy and those in religious authority?
Robert Orsi is Professor of Religious Studies and History and Grace Craddock Nagle Chair in Catholic Studies at Northwestern University. He researches, writes, and teaches about religion in the United States, in the past and in contemporary contexts, with a particular focus on American Catholicism. He is also interested in how "religion" developed as a subject of inquiry from early modernity to the present and in questions of method and theory in the study of religion. His scholarship draws on history, ethnography, religious studies, and psychological theories of imagination and of intersubjectivity to study the religious practices of men, women, and children.
In a 2016 interview with the Pew Research Center, Professor of Sociology at New York University, Michael Hout, explains why millenials are less religious than older Americans. Millenials, young adults born between 1981 and 1996, are less likely to attend church regularly or to consider religion an important part of their lives according to Hoult. He also posits that with respect to the Catholic Church, "lack of trust is fueled by the sexual abuse scandals in the church." On April 4, Professor Robert Orsi will visit the Boisi Center for a lecture on the impact of the clerical abuse scandals on members of the Catholic Church.

The deadline closes at 06:00 BST (UTC+1) on the 25th June, the end of a five year 'Right of Registration' period set aside by Nominet in June 2014 to allow third-level domain registrants ample time to consider whether they would like to register their second-level equivalent.
Those with .co.uk registrations before midnight on 28 October 2013 were given five years to decide whether to register the corresponding .uk ending as well as, or instead of, their existing registration. If a .co.uk was not registered at that time, rights would have passed to the .org.uk then the me.uk domain. Registrants can check if they have rights here.
It is a feature of the global domain name system that the same set of characters before the dot – known as the 'string' – can appear in names with different suffixes. So for example, ilovedomains.co.uk, ilovedomains.org.uk, and ilovedomains.com might all be registered to different people.
Further details on the Right of Registration period and the .uk domain can be found here.

News Red Hook
She became a US citizen in 2014. She aims to win an assembly seat in 2020.

As the country grapples with increasing restrictions and raids on immigrant communities, one Latina Brooklynite is looking to use her personal experience to seek political office come state elections in 2020.
Genesis Aquino, a Sunset Park resident who was born in the Dominican Republic, is mounting a challenge in Assembly District 51 to oust the incumbent, Assemblymember Felix Ortiz.
The district, which covers Sunset Park and Red Hook, has a large immigrant community that includes Latinx populations from Mexico, Central America and parts of South America. More than 47 percent of residents are foreign-born in Community District 7, according to data from the New York City Planning Department, with 48 percent identifying as having limited English proficiency and 73 percent identifying as Asian or Hispanic.
This is a second run for Aquino, who first ran for district leader in the area in 2018 against Arelis Martinez, a long-term incumbent and close ally of Ortiz. Aquino lost by a slim margin then, but her fight to represent her neighborhood continued.
"A lot of people in the district are immigrants — African American, Caribbean — I am able to see through different lenses because of my identity," she told the Brooklyn Eagle. "It is important when we are advocating for people that we understand their issues."

Sunset Park has been the most-targeted area across the city in the past three months by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, making up half of the eight confirmed raids across the city.
Aquino herself had a complicated road to becoming a U.S. citizen, a status she achieved in 2014 after many years of efforts. The experience left her all too aware of the lack of access to public resources and aid that were not afforded to her family when they needed it the most.
"I became a citizen in 2014 under a reunification visa," Aquino said. "I know what it's like to be undocumented and not be able to apply for benefits because my parents and my family didn't qualify for public assistance. I was evicted from my apartment as a teenager and that was hard. I wish I knew then what I know now, because I could have fought for that apartment."
Aquino credits the experience for sparking her move into local advocacy, and specifically into organizing for tenant rights. For the last couple of years, she has been working for Housing Court Answers, a nonprofit housing organization that helps families facing eviction stay in their homes. If elected, her top priorities include the passage of the Good Cause Eviction bill and more funding for public housing.
A wave of tenant rights activists have been announcing their bids for state office following the passage of a major rent reform package this past legislative session. Marcela Mitaynes, a tenant organizer, on Saturday also launched a campaign for the District 51 assembly seat.
"The new laws directly impact the people I work with every day in NYC Housing Courts," Aquino told the Eagle. "Tenants will now be granted more time and protections to defend their homes within the court system. The new laws bring us closer to a more just system. Now we need to fight to pass the Good Cause Eviction Bill to expand rights for more tenants."
Along with standing up for the immigrant community and NYCHA tenants, Aquino, who identifies as queer, wants bring the issues of LGBTQ+ Brooklynites to the forefront. "I'm running a grassroots campaign to continue building community power and take people's voices to Albany," she said.
Other issues on Aquino's radar include desegregating city public schools, guaranteeing more educational funding for the neighborhood and strengthening labor rights for gig economy workers — specifically immigrants who work various jobs.
She will also look to play an active role in the area's economic future. Sunset Park's industrial waterfront, Industry City, is facing a potential rezoning, which has been a source of conflict between neighborhood residents and officials. Aquino told the Eagle that she opposes the rezoning proposal in its current form.
"The only development we need is a community-led development process that includes climate change resiliency and protects our industrial waterfront," she said.
Aquino's campaign run comes as local residents in Sunset Park have begun to call on their neighbors to join them in a new movement tentatively dubbed "Sunset Rising" — an effort to mobilize local residents as important city and state elections approach.
"So many of my neighbors have been talking about a project that we just call 'Sunset Rising' for now, which is an effort to do things differently," said Jorge Muñiz, one of the movement's founders. "Its an effort for us to gather when it matters not when the ballots are already decided but when its decided which Democrats are put on the ballot in the first place — good ones, ones that are rooted here, ones that live here and can represent us."
Though the group is not affiliated with Aquino's run or campaign, they have similar goals for the area, including increasing the 51st Assembly District's representation in the Kings County Democratic Committee. The district previously had the fewest committee members of any district in Brooklyn.
"So representation matters, leadership matters — but what I've learned most of all working in this neighborhood is that it's got to be local," Muñiz said at a recent Democratic debate watch party in which the movement was announced.
"It's got to be grassroots, it's got to start with people who have roots in this neighborhood. That's what I've seen as successful."
Assemblymember Ortiz welcomes the challenge, but told the Eagle he remains focused on his work in the district for the time being.
"This is a democracy. I think that everyone has an opportunity to represent themselves. But first let's wait until the petitioning period ends, and then I will found out who the candidates are," he said. "Until then, I will continue to do my job and pass important progressive legislation, saying 'no' to the Industry City rezoning and fighting for tenant rights."
Correction (Sept. 18 at 3:35 p.m.): A previous version of this story misnamed "Sunset Rising," the grassroots movement in Sunset Park, as "Sunset Park Rising." The story has been updated.

I have been working at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs full-time
The Council's mission of promoting global engagement makes it feel good to work there. It's full of capable, passionate people doing interesting things, and the networking opportunities through events are hard to beat.
As a nonprofit, it doesn't pay junior staff well. There's probably some planned turnover. That's understandable. Sometimes the passion of the staff can lead to tension because everyone wants everything to be as good as possible, but they have competing visions.
Treat the junior staff with a little more respect--the line workers could use the support and encouragement. Other than that, keep being ambitious.

With less than a month to go before I head on my first travels of the year to both Hong Kong and Tokyo, I thought I'd put together a post on my hand luggage travel essentials, both for general practicalities, and more essential items for long haul flights, as I will be flying 16 hours direct this time. After having undertaken lots of long half flights in the past, these items are on my go-to list every time.
As far as entertainment goes, chances are if you're going on a long haul flight - there will be a television set in your seat. But on the off chance that you won't, it's always good to have a backup, and sometimes you just can't beat a good old book when you want a break from the screen. And lets not forget your music, there's something quite therapeutic about watching yourself float through the clouds over the ocean drifting away to some music.
Another bonus for taking a tablet device, is being able to download some offline television on apps like BBC before you go to keep up to date. Don't forget your own headphones too, usually they are provided onboard your flight, but the advantages of investing in some good quality sound proof headphones of your own will be worth it for their use time and time again, not to mention blocking out the sounds of the plane to help you get a little sleep. Depending on where you're going, it might also be worth having your mobile phone with you to call friends or family upon arrival.
One of my main things to take in my hand luggage (though baring in mind your liquid allowance) is a small toiletries bag for freshening up mid-way through the flight. If you're feeling brave enough it's well worth going bare-faced on a long haul flight, however I like to at least have a base and often find my lips get incredibly dry during flights, which is where the Benefit Porefessional and a lip balm stick comes in handy, with a perfume miniature and a small toothpaste tube and toothbrush. For cleansing your skin and keeping it feeling hydrated and fresh I can throughly recommend checking out the 'breath of fresh air' from Lush which is a spritzing mist. Don't forget also in your toiletries bag if you take any medication, and it's also worth adding in some paracetamol or ibuprofen for any headaches you might get with flying, as well as any doctors notes you might need as evidence for any prescriptions.
More important than anything else in your hand luggage, of course - your passport! Include your boarding passes if you are able to check in online and print in advance, and make sure you have any visa's or forms you might need to enter your destination. It's not vital to keep all of your travel money on you, but I do feel safer knowing it's in my hands at all times as opposed to in checked luggage, but as with everything else - make sure you don't leave your bag behind!
What's on your essentials check list for flying? Are you going to be going abroad anywhere this year?
