UNION, N.J., Feb 05, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — IN CONCERT: Friday, February 8 -- 8 p.m. -- UCPAC's Hamilton Stage in Rahway, N.J. The group of people (over 100+ voices) that make up the powerhouse choir, JUBILATION, are a force in the industry.
Established in 1998 through the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), the choir made its debut at the NJPAC's second-annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration featuring the legendary gospel minister and singer, Shirley Caesar. That performance set the tone for what would become more than a decade of excellence and a dedication to praise and worship.
Four years after its formation the choir launched a traveling choir, VOICES OF JUBILATION, which has ministered domestically and internationally. In fact, its first tour was held in Japan. JUBILATION has been honored to perform with Queen Latifah at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships and at the Super Bowl.
A native of Newark, New Jersey, Reverend Dr. Stefanie R. Minatee -- "Rev. Stef," as she is affectionately called, is the artistic director & founder of the Grammy(R)-Award winning choir, JUBILATION. She has built her life and career around music.
Upon graduating from Newark's prestigious performing arts high school, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in music performance with a certification in music education from Kean University. Afterwards, she spent nearly 30 years as a vocal education teacher in the Plainfield Public School District. Under the tutelage of Dr. Minatee JUBILATION has released six albums and holds the distinction as the last choir to have performed with the late music giant Ray Charles.

SAVOR The Clubhouse Oak Brook; Bub City Rosemont
DISH Dining Guide
by Andrew Davis, Windy City Times
This article shared 1890 times since Tue Jun 23, 2020
When the incomparable Nina Simone sang "It's a new dawn/it's a new day" in her immortal song "Feeling Good," it's a safe bet she wasn't referring to a coronavirus pandemic.
However, that current development has made it a new day for restaurants, and owners and staffers had to learn a different way of working and interacting. I visited two suburban spots recently ( as the suburbs reopened outdoor dining before Chicago ), and witnessed tables that were at least six feet apart, bottles of hand sanitizer conspicuously spaced at front counters, and servers sporting face coverings and gloves. ( By the way, none of the diners at either spot—save for my dining companion and myself—sported face coverings even when arriving, so don't say you haven't been warned. )
Outside of Chicago, most restaurants are part of shopping complexes, and this is certainly true of The Clubhouse Oak Brook ( TheClubhouse.com ), which is in Oakbrook Center. Even dining al fresco, The Clubhouse radiates a sophisticated atmosphere, even with a scaled-down menu.
However, it's hard to tell that the number of selections is lower than normal because of the variety that's still available ( such as appetizers, salads, sandwiches, favorites and more ). Kick back with a mango lemonade while indulging in such dishes as sweet chili ginger calamari—perfectly fried, served with that sauce and basil-infused olive oil. The entree salads are huge, and the carne asada version is very impressive, and it's a melange of grilled sirloin, two types of lettuce, chimichurri sauce, white cheddar cheese, black bean-and-corn relish, avocado, corn tortilla strips, BBQ ranch dressing and more. ( Other entree salad choices include the Clubhouse chopped, seafood Cobb and chicken Caesar. )
As for sandwiches, one could do a lot worse than the grilled chicken-and-brie option, complete with arugula, avocado, caramelized onion, tomato and aioli, on tomato ciabatta. ( Of course, you can customize your selection. ) My friend went for one of the favorites: the chicken Romano, and she felt the dish was absolutely amazing. However, these just represent the tip of the iceberg, as there are seafood dishes like orange basil salmon; various steak choices; sides like lobster mac 'n cheese and jalapeno grits; and desserts like the scrumptious raspberry cheesecake.
( By the way, this spot also offers three specialty grill kits in addition to family-pack options and a la carte menu items.The kits include items such as steaks, pork chops and Wagyu beef patties. )
Offering significantly fewer choices—but just as impressive—is the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises spot Bub City Rosemont ( Bub-City.com/rosemont ), a restaurant that is part of the Parkway Bank Park entertainment district and that is open Wednesdays through Sundays. A sign at the front counter ( "Git yer diet ass outta here/We serve real food" ) says it all, as the casual country-themed spot offers comfort food done right ( although vegans will unfortunately find very little to satisfy themselves here ).
Available for patio service, delivery and carryout are items such as chopped salad, delicious chicken wings, charcoal-roasted baby back ribs, golden waffle fries and Texas pit beans. But let me tell you: The brisket at this spot is one of the best I've ever had—and I've been to my share of BBQ spots. The staff ( led by Clay Tormey ) is among the friendliest you'll ever encounter.
By the way, indoor dining in the suburbs and Chicago is slated to start Friday, June 26—another dawn of a new day.
Note: Profiles/events are based on invitations arranged from restaurants and/or firms.

This is about one of the cities called Antioch in Asia Minor, now Turkey. See Antioch (disambiguation) for other places called Antioch.
The city of Antioch-on-the-Orontes (modern Antakya; Greek Αντιόχεια) is located in what is now Turkey. It was founded near the end of the 4th century BC by Seleucus I Nicator, who made it the capital of his empire in Syria. Seleucus I had served as one of Alexander the Great's generals, and the name Antiochus occurred frequently amongst members of his family.

Densely-built Antioch in 1912: the traditional Muslim city shows no trace of its Hellenistic planning. To the east, orchards (green) fill the plain.
Antioch occupies an important place in the history of Christianity. It was here that Paul preached his first Christian sermon in a synagogue, and here that followers of Jesus were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). As Christianity spread, Antioch became the seat of one of the four original patriarchates, along with Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Rome. Today it remains the seat of a patriarchate of the Roman Catholic and Oriental Orthodox churches. One of the canonical Eastern Orthodox churches is still called the Antiochian Orthodox Church, although it moved its headquarters from Antioch to Damascus, Syria, several centuries ago (see list of Patriarchs of Antioch).

Antioch was called the Queen of the East, lying on the high-road between the East and the West, and accordingly a busy centre of trade. For several centuries it was a major city in the Roman Empire with a population of a half million people. The emperor Aurelian erected several magnificent public structures, and later the emperor Constantius II erected an octogonal cathedral, which suffered in the earthquake of AD 526. The Persians captured the city in 540. The Byzantines recovered Antioch, only to have the Muslims conquer it in 636.
The city (as Arabic انتاكيّة Antākiyyah) remained in Arab hands until 969, when it was recovered by the Byzantine Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas. The city was lost again, to the Seljuk Turks, in 1085. Thirteen years later, it was captured by the Crusaders during the First Crusade, and became the capital of an independent Principality of Antioch (see Siege of Antioch). The city remained in Crusader hands for the better part of the 12th and 13th centuries, until it was captured by the Mamluk Sultan Baibars in 1268. Baibars destruction of the city was so great that it was never a major city again, with much of its former role falling to the port city of Alexandretta (Iskenderun).
Antakya is the capital of the province Hatay.
Many other cities within the Seleucid empire were also named Antioch, most of them founded by Seleucus I Nicator. For instance Pisidian Antioch in Central-West Turkey is where Saint Paul gave his first sermon to the Gentiles.

Summer is right around the corner and we have been planning away! Top of the list; camping and catching up with friends. These two things always seem to get away from us during the school year but during summer we make a point to go big! Whoever said, "life was meant for good friends & great adventures" was right on point. What's on your summer bucket list? Share in the comments below!
Every year we put this at the top of our list. We love to slip away from the craziness of the city and explore the great outdoors. Not sure what to pack? Check out how we pack for camping here.
Reading and kids do not go hand in hand. Each time I sit down to open a book someone is hungry, tired, bored but not this summer! I decided to have a set rest time. We will all get out a book and read or rest. I've been catching up on a favorite Carry on, Warrior: The Power of Embracing your Messy, Beautiful Life.
We are planning BBQ's, pool parties and lots of playdates for our kids but also making sure to schedule out time for our friends, without the kids. It's so important to have the time to decompress and pause the "mom/dad" button.
Who loves to hike in the fresh air? Along with this we have decided to get a hiking backpack. Check out the one we're purchasing here. Charlotte isn't quite ready for 1-2 mile hikes but Austin is! This way we can guarantee a great hike without stopping every few minutes!
I feel my best when I'm involved with like minded moms that also have babies or toddlers. My kids love it, I love it! There are so many wonderful group s in my area- Hike it Baby, Stroller Strides, Mommy Yoga. Check out my experience with Stroller Striders here.
Did you also start a scrapbook with kid number one but seem to forget it when number 2 came around? I started scrapbooking after I had Austin and since my time has been limited. Often times I have to remind myself that it doesn't have to be perfect or I would spend half my life trying to get the writing straight. It's best when I am organized and have things prepared. Check out these awesome art filers for the kids school work and these book sets to keep me organized.
I've always dreamt of having movie nights in the yard! I found an amazing Pinterest hack and have decided to do movie night with my kids once a week! Check out our favorites below.
We can't stay away! Recently I've been interested in paddle boarding and have decided to take my almost 4 year old along! Life jacket is a must since he's still learning to swim but I love to share my passion with my kids. And prove that we can all learn something new whenever we want!
There is nothing better than chilling on the beach and flying a kite! Kite flying is a big hit in out family and this year we are going to design our own. Check out this simple kit here.
Growing up my dad used to take us fishing and I have promised to take my kids! We have already scoped out some kid friendly places that allow us the safety of shallow water but the abundance of fish. Where will your fishing trip take you this year?
See the complete printable list below and don't forget to pin it to your favorite Pinterest board!
What would you add to our Summer Bucket List? Let me know in the comments below!

Q: mySQL query to search all tables within a database for a string? Is there a mySQL query to search all tables within a database?
If not can you search all tables within a database from the mySQL workbench GUI?
From phpmyadmin there's a search panel you can use to select all tables to search through.  I find this super effective since magento, the ecommerce package I'm working with has hundreds of tables and different product details are in different tables.

A: Alternatively, if your database is not that huge, you can make a dump and make your search in the .sql generated file.

A: If you want to do it purely in MySQL, without the help of any programming language, you could use this:
## Table for storing resultant output

CREATE TABLE `temp_details` (
 `t_schema` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
 `t_table` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
 `t_field` varchar(45) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

## Procedure for search in all fields of all databases
DELIMITER $$
#Script to loop through all tables using Information_Schema
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS get_table $$
CREATE PROCEDURE get_table(in_search varchar(50))
 READS SQL DATA
BEGIN
 DECLARE trunc_cmd VARCHAR(50);
 DECLARE search_string VARCHAR(250);

 DECLARE db,tbl,clmn CHAR(50);
 DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
 DECLARE COUNTER INT;

 DECLARE table_cur CURSOR FOR
 SELECT concat('SELECT COUNT(*) INTO @CNT_VALUE FROM `',table_schema,'`.`',table_name,'` WHERE `', column_name,'` REGEXP ''',in_search,''';')
 ,table_schema,table_name,column_name
 FROM information_schema.COLUMNS
 WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA NOT IN ('information_schema','test','mysql');

 DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done=1;

 #Truncating table for refill the data for new search.
 PREPARE trunc_cmd FROM "TRUNCATE TABLE temp_details;";
 EXECUTE trunc_cmd ;

 OPEN table_cur;
 table_loop:LOOP
 FETCH table_cur INTO search_string,db,tbl,clmn;

 #Executing the search
 SET @search_string = search_string;
 SELECT search_string;
 PREPARE search_string FROM @search_string;
 EXECUTE search_string;

 SET COUNTER = @CNT_VALUE;
 SELECT COUNTER;

 IF COUNTER>0 THEN
 # Inserting required results from search to table
 INSERT INTO temp_details VALUES(db,tbl,clmn);
 END IF;

 IF done=1 THEN
 LEAVE table_loop;
 END IF;
 END LOOP;
 CLOSE table_cur;

 #Finally Show Results
 SELECT * FROM temp_details;
END $$
DELIMITER ;

Source: http://forge.mysql.com/tools/tool.php?id=232

A: If you are using MySQL Workbench, you can do this by doing right click on the DB Schema you want to search into, and then "Search Table Data...".
In there you can select the "Search using REXEXP" option, and then type your text of search as usual. It will provide the DB rows matching your specific text.
You will need to check the "Search columns of all types" box as well.

A: In MySQL Workbench you can use the Table Data Search feature. It can search across multiple tables and/or multiple databases.

A: Search string in all tables on a database is a complex task. Normally you don't need to use exactly all tables and results are complex to read without a specific layout (tree of tables with matches or the like)
SQL Workbench/J offers a GUI and a command-line version to do such task:
More info:

*

*http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/wb-commands.html#command-search-data

*http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/dbexplorer.html#search-table-data
NOTE: Search with JDBC driver uses a lot of memory if it is not configured properly. SQL Workbench/J warns about that and although online documentation is a bit outdated, the sources of documentation (doc/xml/db-problems.xml) explain how to fix it for different BBDD:
Here an extract for Postgres:

The PostgreSQL JDBC driver defaults to buffer the results obtained from the database
          in memory before returning them to the application. This means that when retrieving data, &wb-productname; uses (for a short amount of time) twice as much memory as really needed. This also means that WbExport or WbCopy will
          effectively read the entire result into memory before writing it into the output file.
          For large exports, this is usually not wanted.
  This behavior of the driver can be changed so that the driver uses cursor based retrieval.
          To do this, the connection profile must disable the "Autocommit" option and must define a default fetch size that is greater than zero. A recommended value is e.g. 10, it might be that higher numbers give a better performance. The number defined for the fetch size,
          defines the number of rows the driver keeps in its internal buffer before requesting more
          rows from the backend.

DEMOS - 61% of ethnic minority kids in England - and 90% in London - begin Year 1 in schools where ethnic minorities are the majority of the student body
New analysis from the Demos Integration Hub shows that ethnic minority children, who now represent 26 per cent of all school students in England, are substantially more likely than White British children to attend schools in which ethnic minorities are in the majority.
The data, which was processed by Professor Simon Burgess of the University of Bristol and analysed by Demos, exclusively for the Demos Integration Hub, show that children from Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Black Caribbean communities are particularly likely to attend schools with a disproportionate level of other students sharing their ethnic background.
> In London, 90 per cent of ethnic minority students begin school in ethnic minority-majority schools, and yet represent only 72 per cent of the student body.
> This compares to 49 per cent of White British students in London attending White British-majority schools, despite representing only 28 per cent of students.
> Across the country, around 94 per cent of White British students are in White British-majority schools.
The findings come as the Demos Integration Hub has identified that the level of segregation in English schools has remained stable or only somewhat declined as the nation's diversity has increased substantially. This means that new population growth is not being spread equally throughout the country.
Certain English local authorities have particularly segregated primary schools, with ethnic minority children in Blackburn, Bradford, Birmingham, Oldham, Kirklees, Calderdale and Rochdale having the highest levels of separation from the White British population.
Importantly, the data in the Demos Integration Hub show that there is not always a strong correlation between the level of segregation in schools and the size of the ethnic minority population, or the level of diversity in these towns.
The level of segregation appears to decline as children progress through school, as secondary schools tend to be much larger than primary schools, explaining why the number of ethnic minority majority schools is five percentage points lower overall between Year 1 and Year 7 students.
Commenting on the findings, Dr Richard Norrie, Research Associate at Demos, said:
"These data show a gradual decline over time in segregation levels in schools for all ethnic minority groups, which is to be welcomed. However, the rate of change is slower than the levels of population growth. While we couldn't expect these communities to spread out on a truly equal scale, we would hope for a much greater level of integration for students at the start of their education, given how important we know it is for children to be connected to a wide range of cultures and opportunities."
Simon Burgess, Professor of Economics at Bristol University, said:
"The pupil population in England's schools is becoming more diverse. And at the same time, ethnic segregation in schools is generally declining, or is stable. It's clear that segregation is certainly not zero, and some schools in some places remain highly segregated, but overall I feel that this is a situation that is improving."
Other Key Findings on Education from the Demos Integration Hub
The Demos Integration Hub, which launched in May 2015 with sections on Residential Patterns, Work and Welfare and Society and Everyday Life, is a growing repository of information mapping the changing dynamics between the UK's increasing diversity, and the implications for social cohesion and social mobility.
Today marks the launch of the Hub's research on education, which also reveals:
> While a slightly higher proportion of ethnic minority students study at the elite Russell Group universities than White British students, it is the White British that are more likely to obtain first class degrees, and are less likely to be unemployed six months after graduation
> The performance of school children at Key Stage 1 has been incrementally increasing across most groups, with the biggest improvements between 2010-14 found among Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean and Black African students – all of these groups, however, are heavily represented in London and therefore may be benefitting from the 'London Effect'
> Girls outperform boys across all ethnic groups in Key Stage 1 writing assessments, however the gap is most pronounced between Black Caribbean children (12 percentage points) and smallest for Indian children (five percentage points)
> White British and Black Caribbean pupils do the least homework, and parents of Chinese, Black and Indian students are more than twice as likely than White parents to pay for extra tuition for their children
> Nearly 30 per cent of private school students* are from ethnic minority backgrounds
* Independent Schools Council (ISC)
> Indian pupils are less than half as likely to truant than Black Caribbean and mixed ethnic students. Pupils of Gypsy/Roma or Traveller of Irish Heritage backgrounds have the highest rate of permanent exclusion, and Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi pupils are less likely than White British students to be expelled.
> There are significant regional variations in the attainment gap in achieving 5 or more good GCSEs between those with English as their first and second language, at 10 percentage points in Yorkshire and the Humber, compared to -0.4 percentage points in London
> After adjusting for class, White students perform worst of all major ethnic groups in secondary school
> Chinese students have the highest university application rate of all ethnicities, at 61 per cent, compared to the 33.2 per cent average. White students have the lowest application rate, at 31.4 per cent, while for Asians it is 44.7 per cent, and 39 per cent for Black students.
Commenting on the launch of the Education research, Director of the Demos Integration Hub, David Goodhart, said:
"The first phase of the Integration Hub is now in place. We want the Hub to be at the centre of the debate about integration and segregation issues in Britain, something that the Government made clear will be of central importance to its efforts to tackle extremism. To that end, we will be constantly updating and adapting the Hub as new research is published in this broad area and facts change in the real world. We welcome feedback and contributions to the site, and – in the longer run – we will be expanding its focus beyond the UK, to capture international comparisons of the integration/segregation story."

Re: development (London: Silent Grid, 2016)
Jessie Brennan | Peterborough, UK
A derelict site in Peterborough's city centre was transformed into a vibrant community garden by volunteers, yet for years it was under threat of redevelopment. During my time at The Green Backyard (2014-16), I worked with the people who use and care for this publicly owned, 2.3-acre strip of land in order to share the voices of those defending their right to the city. Together we questioned the capitalist logic of the proposed development by its owner, Peterborough City Council. Instead we offered alternative evidence in the form of a visual and audio archive – over 100 cyanotypes (camera-less photographs) and more than 100 oral recordings (testimonies) – for the existing social use and value of the land.
Re: development is a book that interweaves the threads of this project: it brings together the voices and personal experiences of trustees, volunteers and visitors of The Green Backyard in the form of transcribed oral recordings, a series of cyanotypes that document the space through its objects and plant life, ten contextualising essays which write the site from a broad range of perspectives, and photographic documentation of two artworks installed in the public realm (What is necessary here?, 2014) and in the garden (If This Were to Be Lost, 2016-17). All this was realised during time I spent in Peterborough as a year-long 'resident' at The Green Backyard, when the City Council was making the decision as to whether the site could continue to operate as a community garden or whether it would be sold off for redevelopment.
While the threat of redevelopment was ongoing the voices resisting it were stronger still: on the 27 January 2017, after a lengthy – but successful – community resistance, the land became finally safeguarded. Project outputs take the form of an exhibition, artwork and this publication.
Jessie Brennan is a London-based artist whose practice explores the inter-relations between people and places, informed by their social and political contexts and a direct engagement with the individuals who occupy them. She uses ethnography and drawing (in the expanded field) as critical methodologies for revealing urban social and spatial injustices. She pushes towards their productive political use in the form of exhibitions, publications and large-scale installations in the public realm. This has led her to become involved in projects, for example, with people on public housing estates and community gardens, among others.
Brennan graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2007. She has exhibited extensively in the UK and Europe, and her work is held in public and private collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Recent selected exhibitions and projects include: Contraction, curated by Alan Dunn for East Street Arts, Leeds (2020); Making Space, Royal Docks Public Art Commission, UP Projects (solo, 2018-20); Your Words, South London Gallery (2017); Re: development – Inside The Green Backyard, Carroll/Fletcher Onscreen, London (solo, 2017); If This Were to Be Lost, dalla Rosa Gallery, London (solo, 2016); RESIDENT, City Gallery & Museum, Peterborough (2016); Progress, The Foundling Museum, London (2014); Talents Contemporains, François Schneider Foundation, France (2014); Coup de Ville, WARP, Belgium (2013).
In 2016 Brennan was a Visiting Research Fellow at The Bartlett, UCL. She is currently a Visiting Tutor for MA Visual Communication at the Royal College of Art. Her authored books include Regeneration! (2015) and Re: development (2016).

Practices:
Through artistic, research and teaching practice, I seek to explore spaces of resistance – the spaces of the page (font, format), subject (positionality, voice), writing (situated intervention), communities (situated knowledges), university (decolonized curriculum), and art in relation to the social, historical, material and formal qualities of a site – and how they contribute to a broader political challenge to the neoliberalisation of space. These are some of the ways in which I have been thinking with and through 'critical spatial practice' and 'site-writing'.
Jane's ideas have continued to ripple out into the world in the form of reading lists and site-visits with the students I have been fortunate enough to meet and teach.
Archive, cyanotype, green space, Peterborough, redevelopment, resistance
I want to reference three people to whom I owe heartfelt thanks, those whom have specifically informed and influenced this project and have since continued to inspire how I work and live.
I am deeply grateful for the conversations Doreen Massey and I shared before she sadly, and unexpectedly, died on 11 March 2016 (and who had generously agreed to contribute an essay to Re: development), which greatly inspired directions for this project. In particular her conception of space as 'stories-so-far' offered me a critical lens through which to understand – and politicise – whom this particular place, The Green Backyard and other contested spaces, belong to. Much of this material can be found in her book titled For Space, but I also want to share here a link to Doreen's essay titled 'Landscape/space/politics: an essay'. It was after reading this essay I plucked up the courage to speak with Doreen in the sidelines of a conference at which she spoke, which prompted her to call me up one Sunday morning and kick-started a series of meetings and discussions. In Doreen's collaboration with Patrick Keiller I saw her enthusiasm for working with others outside and beyond academia, and it did not seem too unthinkable to hope she might consider working with me.

Another person I have been fortunate to come to know well during the lifetime of this project is Dougald Hine, social thinker, writer and founder of a series of projects and organisations including the literary journal Dark Mountain. In his text for Re: development, Dougald invokes the idea of 'magic' to reflect upon the qualities inherent in The Green Backyard, and other volunteer-run projects, by sketching out a model – beyond that of the public and private – which instead explores them within a logic of the commons. It is his three forms of language (Inward, Upward and Outward) needed by people close to a project to enable it to survive that I have continued to turn towards in times of challenge.

One of the people I want most to express my gratitude to is Jane Rendell. I first came to know of Jane's fierce intellect through Art and Architecture: A Place Between. In 2016, during my visiting research fellowship at The Bartlett, UCL, where Jane was my mentor, I was fortunate enough to get to know her bright mind and witness the endless generosity with which she shares her seemingly limitless knowledge and performs daily acts of care towards her students. Reading (and writing), of course, has its own particular relational qualities, and anyone who takes the time to pick up a book or scroll through an online essay by Jane will be rewarded, but in person the theories and practices upon which such books and essays are based, really sing. In particular, Jane's practice of 'site-writing', in which she interweaves analysis, autobiography, archives, socio-political issues and writing in the expanded field, directly informed my artwork If This Were to Be Lost (and to which Jane's essay contribution for Re: development responded). More recently for me, Jane's concept of 'critical spatial practice', in which such practice critiques the sites into which it intervenes, continues to help me situate my work within a striated landscape. A public art commissioning landscape in which the language of intuition and everyday usage rubs up against the language of power and resources.
Not every artist has the benefit of such a mentor and critical friendship, but every artist who has a situated practice and comes across the concepts of 'critical spatial practice' and 'site-writing' will undoubtedly be galvanized by Jane's intellectual brilliance and generosity of knowledge, and by the feminist voice with which she speaks to the challenges of the sites, situations and situatedness in which we, as artists, architects, citizens, find ourselves.

Politics in the Tropics: "A weary Eva Stines is troubled these days. Her house was demolished by the double punch of two successive hurricanes that hit this central Florida town in the last month—and a third monster Atlantic storm may be headed her way next week.
"With all that, she isn't thinking about: the 2004 presidential campaign, saying 'politics is the last thing on everybody's mind right now.'"
"For Bush, it's essential to deliver much-needed relief services, so as not to repeat 1992, when his father lost the state after being slow to respond to Hurricane Andrew."
"Bush made a highly visible sweep through Florida on Wednesday, pledging at least $2 billion in aid and immediate attention from both the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business Administration."
"Kerry has not campaigned in Florida since accepting the Democratic presidential nomination in late July."
"Lois Frankel, the Democratic mayor of West Palm Beach, one of the communities hardest hit by Hurricane Frances, said she is setting partisan politics aside and pulling for Bush.
"'As partisan as I am, I don't have the luxury for analysis of this storm in political terms—I'm just trying to get whatever I can from whomever I can,' she said. 'If President Bush shines because he delivers for the state of Florida, that's what I want for this city.'"
"No matter how Bush fares in the eyes of Floridians in the coming weeks, experts say any political bounce or deflation from the storms will be short-lived. 'Once people get their power back, they tend to forget about these kinds of things,' said Brad Coker, a Florida pollster."
"In late August, within days after Hurricane Charley hit, he said, 26% of Polk County residents voted in a statewide primary—a far better average than the 20% turnout that pollsters predicted.
"'Absolutely, when election day comes, people will go to the polls—unless, of course, another hurricane hits that day.'"
Election Day is November 2. Hurricane Season ends November 30.

Goldendoodles come in a rainbow of colors. The Golden Retriever ancestry brings only shades of cream, apricot and red to the breed. These colors are all controlled by the same gene, with the shade of color determined by the intensity of the inherited gene. While the Poodle heritage also includes creams, apricots, and reds; Poodles alone lend the black, chocolate (dark brown), silver and gray coloring (and the color patterns) to the Goldendoodle coat.
For even more variety, there are patterns of these colors found in the Goldendoodle, including parti, merle, phantom, and brindle. A parti colored Goldendoodle is at least 50% white, with solid patches of any other color. A solid color Goldendoodle with white markings that cover less than 50% of the body are known by several names: abstract, mismarks, or chrome. Merle is a varied coat pattern. While a beautiful color, the merle gene can cause blindness and deafness if two parents carrying the merle gene are bred together, so merles should be bred only by very knowledgeable breeders who test for the merle gene and understand the genetics involved. Phantom's have a specific pattern of markings on a solid background above each eye, on the sides of the muzzle, chest, inside the legs, and under the tail. Brindle patterns appear as stripes, the color and the width vary with each dog.
The primary concerns for any dog breeder must be health, temperament and conformation; but who can deny that the outward appearance of a Goldendoodle pulls at our heartstrings! With careful breeding, breeders can now produce litters with predictable coat types and shedding propensities.
One of the things that many people find attractive about the Goldendoodle is the low shedding and hypo-allergenic qualities of the coat, and the adorable ragamuffin look of the Goldendoodle. DNA research now gives us information about how coat genes affect the "look" of a Goldendoodle. No longer do you need to rely on the generation of a Goldendoodle to determine appearance or shedding intensity!
The coat length gene determines whether a dog has a long (L) or short (S) coat. Although long coats are recessive, because both Goldendoodle parent breeds are long-coated, all Goldendoodles carry two genes for long coat (L/L). Since short coat is dominant, if a dog carries a gene for the short gene (S/L) their coat would be short. This is why some Labradoodles have short coats in the early generations, whereas Goldendoodles do not.
Goldendoodles can be curly, wavy, or straight.
As you can see above, a Goldendoodle's coat can have different amounts of curl. They inherit their number of curl genes from their parents. Typically a Goldendoodle that is curly is +/+ for curl, a flat or straight dog is -/- for curl, a dog with a wavy or loose curl coat is +/-. Since a wavy coated Goldendoodle can carry a curl gene (+/-), two wavy Goldendoodles bred together can produce all three coat types – curly, wavy, and straight. If a breeder tests the parent dogs for the curl gene, they can better predict the appearance of their puppies.
What are Furnishings and Improper coat (gene RSP02)?
The Goldendoodles below lack "furnishings" and will shed more than a Goldendoodle with furnishings.
The "shedding index" is a combination of two DNA tests, one for the shedding gene, combined with the test for furnishings. The shedding index is ranked on a score of 0-4. "0" is no shedding, and "4" is the highest shedding. By testing for furnishings and shedding, a breeder can combine the results to reliably predict shedding in a dog. Selecting dogs with a low shedding index in a breeding program (after consideration for health and temperament) can produce puppies with reliably lower shedding coats. Since shedding is related to allergies, using these DNA testing tools on any generation Goldendoodle can help a breeder more accurately match puppies with families who have allergy concerns. No longer do you need an F1b or a very curly Goldendoodle if you know the shedding index is low!
Note: Even a Goldendoodle with a shedding index of zero does not guarantee that you will not be allergic to a particular dog. Allergies are very complex and shedding is just one of the components that factor in the equation. Consider that dander, saliva, proteins, and allergens carried on the dogs coat, etc., all contribute to each individual's allergic reaction.
As you can see, there is a lot of science that goes into the selection of breeding mates to produce the ideal Goldendoodle. The Goldendoodle Association supports its Member breeders by providing access to the latest research and guidance from experts in fields such as breed development, canine reproduction, and puppy development. GANA's goal is to guide the development of the Goldendoodle breed in the best possible way using current science and technology available to enhance health, raise puppies with the best possible temperaments, and avoid the mistakes of many of the AKC breeds regarding genetic diversity.

Song of the Day: Jeremy Casella
By Pete Peterson • March 16, 2010
https://rabbitroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Hypocrisy785.mp3
One of the great unsung members of the Square Peg Alliance is Jeremy Casella. Our song of the day today is one of my favorites off of his album RCVRY. The title of the song is "Hypocrisy #785" (I've heard rumors that songs about Hypocrisies #1-784 are secreted away in a SPA vault deep under the Siberian tundra.)
RCVRY is available in the Rabbit Room Store.
Pete Peterson is the author of the Revolutionary War adventure The Fiddler's Gun and its sequel Fiddler's Green. Among the many strange things he's been in life are the following: U.S Marine air traffic controller, television editor, art teacher and boatwright at the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch, and progenitor of the mysterious Budge-Nuzzard. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Jennifer, where he's the Executive Director of the Rabbit Room and Managing Editor of Rabbit Room Press.

How many copies of this project did Jeremy sell? Whatever the number, it's not enough. This record deserves to be heard. If I were to make a list of the ten records I've played the most in the last few years, this one would be on that list (mainstream or otherwise). It blows my mind how a man can produce a work that is so out-of-the-box creative, and yet so mind blowingly beautiful.
One might think that an effort which is so eclectic and diverse would produce a hodgepodge, mishmash that would just stall out. To the contrary, it's one of the most rockingly majestic efforts I've ever heard. And somehow, it comes together in a perfect storm of creativity. Honestly, I was so captivated by the music, it took me weeks before I even started listening to the thought-provoking lyrics. Seriously, this record should have won a Grammy. If you don't have it, please don't hesitate. You will probably thank me later.
Recovery is one of my absolute favorite ablums of all time. Seriously. I've listened to it hundreds of times, and yet the lyrics never grow old, the music never seems dry. It always sounds fresh and absolutely gorgeous.
I will never forget the first time I listened to it. It was a perfect late summer day in early September here in VA, and I got on the Blue Ridge Parkway, put in Recovery, and let the beauty of the music and the beauty of creation just take me away. It was marvelous.
All this to say, get this album. Get it for your friends, and tell them to get it for their friends.
Deek Dubberly
Love this album! Any idea when he'll be coming out with another?
Recovery really is one of the best records I've ever heard. From the "folk orchestration" to the amazing lyrics, this record literally blows away everyone who has heard it. I've yet to hear or read someone who had anything negative to say about this album. The above 2 comments are right on target! Buy it!
Aaron Roughton
That's the most strongly worded "recommendation" I've ever seen from Curt, and I sort of feel like it's an offer I can't refuse. If I don't buy the album the lopped off headstock from an acoustic guitar might end up in my bed. I've only heard two songs from this album including this one, but they're both fantastic. Combine that with Curt's high marks and the other comments and this is an obvious decision. Thanks for posting, and thanks for the reviews.
@andrew March 16, 2010 at 12:28 pm
I conCurt. Jeremy raised the bar for all of us with this album, and however many he sold, it isn't nearly enough. I hope you guys'll head to the RR store and support him and his family.
We regularly sing Jeremy's version of "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" in church, and his haunting melody with that majestic lyric always moves me. May Jeremy keep making great music.
As for any word on a new project, that's a great question.
Jeremy?
Well thanks to the six impressions it takes to buy something, I just discovered (thanks to a Rabbit Roomer!) this album last month and I completely agree. So much love. I can't really write anything to convince anyone they need to have a listen more than what Curt wrote, just thought I'd add my voice to the chorus. 🙂
Stephen Lamb
@stephen-lamb March 16, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Agreed with everything said here so far. I love this record, musically, lyrically, and production-wise. And like Curt, it is one of the most-played records in my collection. I can't recommend it enough.
On his twitter account (http://twitter.com/jeremycasella), Jeremy has mentioned that he is working on a new acoustic hymns record, but I don't know when it will be out.
I like how he was described as unsung. He's an unsung singer!
Thanks for posting Hypocrisy #785! RCVRY is my First Love! After every Darkest Night, when Daylight comes, I am Born Again from the practice-death of sleep (The Space Between Living and Dying, you might say) when Casella's album blares like a Distress Signal from my computer's alarm clock playlist.
…I wanted to go all the way with that, but I'm out of steam. Someone bring it home for me.
Casella's version of Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah is indeed a fantastic arrangement! Anyone out there who hasn't experienced the awesomeness needs to check it out from Indelible Grace's 4th album Beams of Heaven at igracemusic.com
Jeremy Casella
thank you so much for the kind words. Especially you Andrew. I read that last night and was so humbled.
I've been working on a lot of music since I released RCVRY. Writing mostly and then re-writing. I've also been touring a lot more than ever since last August– did 35 shows last Fall and will be doing at least as many this Feb-May. I've posted all the dates on my tour page (http://www.jeremycasella.com). The shows are solo acoustic with me on guitar and piano. Songs & stories aiming at Truth & Beauty.
I'm out there singin' and working hard but my thing has always been somewhat quiet and below the radar so sometimes people think I am unsung.
This late summer I am working to release a new collection of songs. Most likely an EP which I will tour really hard this Fall. I'm thrilled with how the songs are coming together and can't wait to get it out there.
I've been delayed in releasing new material mainly due to huge life changes for me and my family– my wife and I have had two kids and we bought a 110 year old house that has used up alot of our resources so rather than go into debt we've been chipping away with repairs and renovation. It was a smart move for our family in the long run though– and we're almost finished. Other delays are involved with the fact that I book myself and run this little shootin' match from my home office– as time has gone on, it has become more and more difficult to give proper time and attention to each and every detail. Somehow though, the Lord has really blessed me and my family with a great deal of work (shows, etc) and we are thankful. Being an indie artist is the strangest most wonderful way to make a living in this world. It's all I've ever known and yet I still weigh it all out every day it seems.
But I've still got work to do and after a certain point, it's just really about being obedient for me. I have no idea how long I'll do this– this is my tenth year. But I'm grateful to God for healing me and changing me. Growing me up and widening me out to make me more useful to other people. RCVRY is the sound of a bitter and angry young man getting healed by the Truth & Beauty of the Gospel. Something I'll never get over– and don't want to!
Probably way too much information! Just wanted to say thank you.
Grace & Peace–
Ron Davis
Curt nailed it with his comment. This CD is so amazing. I can't say it enough. Lyrically and musically, it's just beautiful. And every time I listen, I swear I hear something new. Very few albums I've heard are like that for me.
To anybody who might be reading this who hasn't heard the album yet: do yourself a favor and go buy it now. It'll be the best thing you do all month.
Jeremy, thanks so much for chiming in. Not too much info at all. This here Rabbit Room is truly a unique spot on the web. Not only do we come here and learn about great art, but we can have authentic interactions with the artists themselves. To the Proprietor and the artists and the others who make this possible, many thanks.
I Am Cute
if only im the P.D of the station im in, Casella and the rest of the Pegs will be so popular in Cebu City with a celebrity like status just like what happend to an Oklahoma indie band Stephen Speaks back in the early 2k

Observational Psychology
Introduction to observational psychology with an overview of Bandura's social learning theory, modern issues in observational psychology and an evaluation of the approach.
Observational psychology is an interdisciplinary system of study that usually falls under the banner of the psychology of learning. The psychology of learning is a particular branch of psychological study that attempts to draw conclusions about how people learn, what it means to learn a behavior, and how this understanding of learning can be applied in a preventive or therapeutic context.
What observational psychology in particular has to say is that learning stems directly from the process of observation. Like behaviorism, it refutes an innate or instinctual basis for (most) human behaviors, and instead says that the combined forces of the behavior we witness and the culture we grow up in are responsible for the behaviors that we ultimately learn and manifest. Because observational psychology focuses so much on early childhood learning, it also has some bearing on developmental psychology – hence why it is called an "interdisciplinary" system.
Bandura and Social Learning Theory
At the center of observational psychology is the "social learning theory" put forth by Albert Bandura. Originally a researcher in support of the Behaviorist camp, Bandura was eventually somewhat instrumental in the popular shift from behavioral to cognitive psychology that began in the late 1950s in the United States. His "change of heart", such as it was, occurred after a famous series of experiments referred to today as the "Bobo doll experiments".
Studying a group of young children, Bandura found that after observing a video of one of his colleagues beating up a "Bobo doll" (a weighted inflatable doll designed to stand back up after it's knocked over), the children were prone to repeating that behavior themselves. Significantly, behavior of this sort was repeated even without reinforcement or even the suggestion of a reward.
For the first time, conditioning, whether classical or operant, was called into question. Perhaps there were other explanations for the genesis of behavior after all?
Social learning theory claims just that – that with sufficient observation, no conditioning or reinforcement schedule is needed for learning to occur. Instead, subjects acquire knowledge and display behaviors after undergoing a three step process of "observing", "retaining", and "replicating".
A Contemporary Issue in Observational Psychology...
Clearly, observational psychology is still very much a relevant field of study. Consider all the talk just this decade about violence in the media and what effect, if any, that violence has in influencing the behavior of children who are exposed to it. The ramifications of such a question are important to all of us. Over just the last few years, our society has seen the installation of V-Chips in televisions to help parents control their children's viewing, as well as the institution of stringent rating systems in music, television, and video games.
Much of this reaction stemmed from research conducted by observational psychologist Otto Larson. In 1968, Larson conducted several studies of young children's television programming and found that a full 56% of the time, the heroes in those shows achieved their goals through acts of violence. While it's largely undetermined whether or not exposure to such programming is sufficient to cause replication of the behavior, this was nevertheless a very popular study with a lot of popular support.
... and Its Refutation!
When observational psychology is described as an interdisciplinary field, it means in part that the foundation of the field itself is still in flux somewhat. The findings of those working as observational psychologists have yet to be codified, even though, taken separately, they have a great degree of institutional support.
That's why, to find a refutation to a claim made in observational psychology, you often needn't look any further than observational psychology! Calling into question the claims made by Otto Larson in his 1968 study, Cecilia Heyes attempted to bring closure to the issue herself in 1994.
Cecilia's study was meant to determine whether or not the human agent was a significant factor in observational learning. To achieve this, she conducted experiments where some subjects were made to observe humans interacting with objects, and others were made to observe those same objects being remotely manipulated by robots. Though the objects were manipulated in the exact same ways, the subjects who saw the human interaction were much more prone to repeating the behavior when they were exposed to the same object. This is called the "ghost condition" – a principle which scientifically reaffirmed the importance of the human agent in observational learning.
This is important to the question of whether violence in the media affects those who view it. It would seem that, in cases of obvious detachment from reality, such as cartoons, there is little danger of children repeated observed behavior. Naturally, the finding has implications beyond just this question, but the study nevertheless remains a great example of observational psychology interacting directly with the issues we face as a society.
Observational psychology is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates some elements of the psychology of learning as well as developmental psychology.
It attempts to determine what is meant by learning, how learning is acquired, and what role observation has in a subject acquiring and performing a behavior.
It is distinct from behaviorism in its assertion that no conditioning or schedule of reinforcement is required to facilitate a behavior, so long as sufficient observation takes place.
Social learning theory, one of the core theories to arise from the field, claims that learning takes place in three stages: observing, retaining, and replicating.
Observational psychology has weighed in on current issues quite a few times, most recently in the question of whether or not violence in the media has the effect of encouraging violent behavior in the viewers of that media.
Otto Larson in 1968 made some claims to the effect that it does, whereas Cecilia Heyes in 1994 reaffirmed that the observation of a human actor is fundamentally important to learned behavior. Humans tend not to repeat behavior they witness in other species, at least not with the same readiness that they would otherwise.

In the past, intracorneal ring segments or Intacs were used to treat mild myopia (near-sightedness). Intacs are currently used to treat nearsightedness and astigmatism associated with keratoconus where contact lenses and glasses no longer provide adequate vision correction.
Keratoconus is an eye condition that results in progressive vision loss from thinning and irregularity in the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. This condition can often be treated with glasses or contact lenses but, with progression, corneal surgery may become necessary. As keratoconus progresses, the quality of one's vision deteriorates and contact lenses or glasses no longer become a satisfactory solution for most people. Historically, a corneal transplant has been the only option – until Intacs!
Intacs corneal implants are an exciting option for individuals experiencing an intolerance to contact lens and are facing a corneal transplant. Intacs corneal implants may be the best possible option to stabilize the cornea, improve vision and potentially defer the need for a corneal transplant.
After a small incision is made in the cornea, two crescent-shaped plastic rings are placed in the eye on the outer edge of the cornea, sparing the central area. Once in place, the two rings flatten the cornea so that light rays can properly focus on the retina. The goal of the procedure is to improve the regularity and stabilize the cornea, in an attempt to improve quality of vision and allow comfortable contact lens wear.
Intacs now provide an FDA-approved alternative to corneal transplants for keratoconus patients who are unable to see clearly with glasses or contact lenses. Intacs corneal implants are approved by the FDA for keratoconus under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE). A significant advantage of ICRS is that rings may be surgically removed or replaced if needed.

The renewal process for 2019 is already underway. If you have not received a renewal email the process is outlined in the paragraphs below.
If you have forgotten your log-in password use the 'forgotten password ' button on the log-in page to be sent a new one.
Firstly, I hope you have enjoyed your year at Upper Thames, but if for some reason you do not intend to renew this year please tell me as it will avoid me chasing you for your renewal application!For the remainder it's renewal time. Please read this carefully because it will remind you of the process to follow to ensure it goes smoothly. This is in 2 stages - Stage 1 confirms your membership and berthing requirements and Stage 2 is the paying of the invoice which will be sent electronically to you. Please carry out Stage 1 as soon as you can in December. You will then need to pay the invoice which is due on January 1st.
Here are the membership and berthing fees for 2019.
The term 'sailing' refers to any water-based activity carried out from the UTSC.
Please remember to qualify for senior discount you need to be over 65 and have been a voting member of the club for 15 years.
A sailing member is expected to pay either a berthing fee or a Club Boat fee. The Club Boat Fee will be detailed on the invoice. Members are however exempt if they sail exclusively with another member who has their own boat. The Club maintains a list of these members.
Please login to the Members' Area of the club website (www.utsc.org.uk). If you have forgotten your password, then please click on the forgotten password link - this will send a new password to your email address.
If your membership category covers more than one person, the Lead Member will complete the renewal process on behalf of each person in the membership category. Please indicate your agreement by ticking the first box on the renewal page.
Select 'Renew this membership and pay now' in the black box.
If you have a current berth and wish to renew, then check boat and berthing are correct, then tick 'renew this mooring'. Note that berth details have been changed this year to either inside (for winter or all year internal storage) or outside (for all other berths). This allows the Harbour Master to allocate berth locations more easily when necessary.
Click on 'Renew Selected' in the red box.
Confirm details are correct and then click on 'confirm choices'.
You are now renewing your membership and by doing so you are agreeing to pay the associated fees.
An invoice will be displayed on screen - please pay by January 1st or earlier if you wish. You will receive an email on my behalf thanking you for renewing. You will also be emailed a further copy of the invoice as a reminder.
Reminder: You can see all your invoices in your members' area.
After confirming your renewal you can then pay electronically from your bank to the Club's bank account (details on the invoice), putting the invoice number and your name in the reference field. If paying electronically is not possible then please forward a cheque to me at the club made payable to Upper Thames Sailing Club (UTSC will not be enough). The invoice gives an option to pay online but we have chosen not to use this because of its cost - so please ignore this.
Please do not send a cheque to the club without completing the above process.
The payment of the invoice needs to be received by January 31st to avoid the late payment fee. We are introducing a sliding scale for the late payment fee for 2019, based on rounding your invoice to the nearest £100 and then charging £20 per £100 of the rounded figure. (eg invoiced fee of between £51 - £149 results in a late fee of £20, invoiced fee of £150 -£249 results in a late fee of £40 etc, up to a maximum of £80).
If for any reason you are unable to login to the website members' area, please let me know and we will find an appropriate process for you.
