Real Friends are celebrating Halloween a couple of days ahead of time with their brand new music video. On Monday (Oct. 29), the Illinois-founded band unleashed the three-and-a-half-minute clip for their latest single, "Me First." The video finds the five-piece trying to evade a beautiful serial killer who just so happens to be their boss. Sadly, the video concludes with things not turning out in the guys' favor.
The video begins with the antagonist, a beautiful blonde, sitting in her mansion minding her own business. Once the music kicks in, the blonde turns from a subdued rich person to someone with a sinister secret behind her smile. In between the colored images of the blonde going about her house, are black-and-white shots of her in what looks to be a basement, with a cleaver in hand.
Unfortunately for the guys in the band, they work for the serial killer and have become her next victims. The rest of the clip follows the killer as she hunts down each of them and beheads them in her basement of secrets.
Watch the complete music video for "Me First" above.
"Me First" is featured on Real Friends' recently released record, Composure. The record was released back in July via Fearless Records.
Composure is the follow-up to band's 2016 release, The Home Inside My Head.
In support of Composure's release, Real Friends previously confirmed plans to hit the road with Boston Manor throughout the end of October and into November. Their upcoming tour will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at the Irenic in San Diego and conclude almost a month alter on Nov. 25 at the House of Blues in Chicago. Real Friends' tour dates can be found on their website here.

Real Friends' new album is just a couple of days away, but the band is giving fans another new song to hold them over until then. On Monday (July 9), the Illinois-founded band released the official third single from their upcoming record, Composure. Titled "Unconditional Love," the new song can be streamed above.
"Unconditional Love" will join previously released tracks "From the Outside" and "Smiling on the Surface" on the group's third studio album. Composure is due out this Friday, July 13, through Fearless Records. Pre-orders for the new record are still available on the band's website here.
The record was produced by Mike Green whose resume includes The Aces, All Time Low, the Mowgli's, and Paramore.
In a press statement released back in June, bassist Kyle Fasel revealed that the forthcoming ten-track album was the first time the band put a lot of time and effort into not only the individual tracks, but the album as a whole.
"We have never put this much time and effort into a record," begins Fasel.
In support of the album's release, the band is currently playing the final Vans Warped Tour.

Earlier this month, Real Friends dropped a brand new song; their first since going on an unofficial, year-long hiatus due to vocalist Dan Lambton's bipolar diagnosis. On Monday (June 18), the Illinois-founded band confirmed that the new song was not a one-off single, but rather part of an upcoming new record. Titled Composure, the group's third studio album is due out July 13 through Fearless Records.
According to bassist Kyle Fasel, the forthcoming, ten-track album —which was produced by Mike Green— was the first time the band put a lot of effort and time into not only the individual songs, but the album as a whole.
In conjunction with the new album announcement, the band also released another new song from Composure; a tune titled "Smiling on the Surface." Stream the new song above.
Prior to the new album announcement, the band had a small group of hometown fans RSVP to three acoustic shows. Instead of playing an acoustic set, the five-piece announced the release of Composure and played the complete album for them. Watch some footage from the surprise sets here.
Composure is the follow-up to the band's 2016 release, The Home Inside My Head.
In support of the summertime release, the quintet will embark on the final Vans Warped Tour this summer.
For now, the complete track listing for Composure can be seen below.

Payza: Payza and reverse/dispute is like the same. Payza can be the most ruling exchanger on online but for their rules and regulations they can't be a pioneer company.

This young girl was found amidst the burning fields of Ikaruga where she was rescued, and then adopted by the family of Vermillion. It was because of her outstanding combat activity that she became a high-ranking member of the NOL using the Nox Nyctores "Arcus Diabolus Bolverk" revolver. She was made Jin Kisaragi's subordinate by the NOL, although Jin treated her poorly due to her sharing the face of his Saya. When Jin rushed off to hunt down Ragna without permission from the NOL, Noel was assigned to stop him and bring him back to his post at the Library.
In truth, Noel suffers from amnesia. She is actually u-12, the predecessor of ν-13. Both are replicas of Saya, sharing her face, voice, and memories, though no answer is ever given to how they came to this end. It isn't far fetched to think the creators of both needed the original to accurately copy those traits from. She was being immersed in the Boundary in the opening of story mode, though after the attack that destroyed Ikaruga she remains the sole survivor in that area. She eventually becomes the "eye", the true possessor of the Azure Grimoire. She is easily won over by small, cute animals (agreeing to be dressed up by Litchi if she could play with the Panda in one story path, and even shouts "Hands off the panda!" during battle with her) and has an inferiority complex with her bosom.
Her innocent & totally naive personality is laughable, but overall she's a solid "heroine" for the series and is a straight forward, yet effective character design. And you gotta love those extra thin guns.... damn technology, making everything so thin. lol.

At least 17 dead after boat carrying Haitian migrants capsizes in The Bahamas

Seventeen people died after a boat carrying dozens of Haitian migrants capsized off the coast of The Bahamas, authorities said on Sunday, as more Haitians attempt to reach the United States to flee gang violence and poverty at home.
Rescue teams recovered the bodies of 17 people, including an infant, and 25 people were rescued, Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis told a news conference. Davis said authorities believe they were on a speedboat heading for Miami.
"It is believed that the vessel capsized in rough seas," he said.
Up to 60 people may have been on board and more people were presumed missing, Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander said.
Bahamian authorities said that two people were taken into custody, both from Bahamas, over the suspected human smuggling operation. All those on board recovered alive or dead or who were still missing were believed to be migrants from Haiti.
The Bahamas police said the boat capsized some 7 miles (11 kilometers) off the island of New Providence.
The Bahamas is a frequent transit route for Haitians seeking to reach the United States. Dangerous sea voyages in rickety vessels have become increasingly common over the last year as Haitians flee poverty and rising gang violence.
Immigration Minister Keith Bell said survivors indicated that they paid between $3 000 and $8 000 for the voyage.
"We mourn lives lost of those seeking a better way of life," Bell said. "Those here with families and friends in Haiti, encourage your loved ones not to risk their lives."
In May, a boat carrying 842 Haitian migrants bound for the United States strayed off course and washed ashore along the north coast of Cuba instead.
That same month, 11 people drowned when a vessel carrying Haitian migrants capsized near Puerto Rico.
Haiti marks the anniversary of Moise murder as gang violence spirals.

He is CEO of SNS Conference Corp. and chairman of the Future in Review (FiRe) conference (www.futureinreview.com) - now in its 14th year - which the Economist has named "the best technology conference in the world."
Mark's work includes the creation of INVNT/IP (Inventing Nations vs. Nation-sponsored Theft of IP, www.invntip.com), a global consortium of corporations and government agencies; SNS Project Inkwell (www.projectinkwell.org), the first global consortium to bring vendors, educators, and students together to accelerate the deployment of appropriate technology into K-12 schools; SNS Interactive News (www.snsinews.com), using patented processes to bring daily interactive communications "About Leaders, For Leaders" worldwide; a new Global Rescue System (GRS) for victims of human trafficking, in concert with Julia Ormond's ASSET program; Orca Relief Citizens' Alliance (ORCA: www.orcarelief.org), the sole nonprofit organization working to reduce killer whale mortality rates; and Nutritional Microanalysis, a new field of medical research and practice aimed at connecting biochemical descriptions of food with health.

nonconvex stochastic optimization
Tong Zhang, Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics, HKUST
Many problems in machine learning rely on statistics and optimization. To solve these problems, new techniques are needed. I will show some of these new techniques through selected machine learning problems I have recently worked on, such as nonconvex stochastic optimization, distributed training, adversarial attack, and generative models.
Tong Zhang is a Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research interests are machine learning, big data and their applications.

Students engage with Sara Parks, former SHM Director, during the Sara Parks Leadership Workshop.
What we know, and much research shows, is that engaged students---students who participate---in and out of the classroom achieve greater success in college and in their careers. Student success in SHM is as varied as the types of jobs and segments of the hospitality management profession.
Many students are active in social and professional organizations and clubs. Activities such as special events, guest lectures and conference and field trips are planned all year long.
The student chapter of the Penn State Hotel and Restaurant Society, for example, arranges field trips to the International Hotel and Restaurant Show in New York City and the National Restaurant Show in Chicago. The chapter's affiliation with the national alumni group gives students contacts with outstanding professionals. SHM students are also active in the American Hotel and Lodging Association, Casino Management Club, Club Managers Association of America, Hotel Sales and Marketing Club, Eta Sigma Delta honor society, National Society of Minorities in Hospitality, and Meeting Professionals International, and Professional Convention Management Association.

TRACE MOUNTAINS - HOUSE OF CONFUSION Vinyl LP
HOUSE OF CONFUSION is Trace Mountains' third album & the rugged, earthier follow-up companion to 2020's Lost in the Country. Recorded in the winter of 2021 in various locations — a studio in the foothills of the Shawangunk Ridge in New York, at home along the Rondout Creek of the Hudson Valley, a NYC apartment & in a small shared music workspace in Denver, Colorado — the album is an entangled assortment of thoughts, a hay bale of songs. Each one wrapped up in the intentions of the other, the album is comprised of road songs, rock songs, country songs, religious songs, disco songs, satanic songs, jams & simple tunes, laid out in careful presentation — to use at your leisure.In the year of the coronavirus pandemic which followed the release of Lost in the Country, primary songwriter Dave Benton — jobless & like many other musicians, with newfound time on his hands — threw himself into an early-morning routine of instrumental practice & dedicated songwriting time. "I was used to waking up early for my warehouse job, so when I got laid off, I just kept up that schedule & implemented another daily regimen focused on improving my guitar playing & writing songs." He began exploring fingerstyle guitar, learning new picking patterns & implementing them into his songwriting. He would wake up, feed his cats & then spend hours on the couch downing cups of coffee, repeating patterns & swapping newfound guitar techniques with his housemates. The companionship he found at home eased the melancholy of missed opportunities & the burden of loneliness that so many had to endure that year. Benton considers himself lucky & in some ways, he admits, he even reveled in the solitude imposed on him. "It felt like a unique moment & opportunity in my life that I might not get again, so I just tried to channel every feeling & moment into the songs I was working on." These slice-of-life moments appear all throughout HOUSE OF CONFUSION — a housemate taking a drag from his pipe or the moon hanging low in the sky on a clear night — but they quickly get turned on their head, shifting to some alternate reality that blends past, present & future, chasing a revelation that feels just out of reach.Despite having been cut off from touring just after the release of Lost in the Country, Benton found a way to explore his world from home. "I was on the road in my mind," he explains, "thinking back on my life as a musician — my successes, my failures — & I was reflecting on the ever-ongoing process of moving on that my life has been made up of". The result is a natural progression onward from Trace Mountains' previous work, a look in the rearview that examines how things change & what it feels like — and more than ever, Benton's songs are touched with a tinge of realism. "I just started writing songs about that feeling we all have, of suddenly waking up to a brief moment of clear-headedness, like 'Oh wow, HOW did we get here?'" he laughs. "I started thinking about that a lot and just approached the feeling from different points of view & different voices that felt relatable to me. And a lot of that led back to images of the road." House of Confusion's themes are blended carefully from song-to-song, each one revealing a different stretch of the same road, with no true end in sight.On HOUSE OF CONFUSION, Benton is joined by mainstay players Jim Hill (guitar, keys), Greg Rutkin (drums) & Susannah Cutler (voice, mellotron) - as well as new additions to the recording band, Bernard Casserly (bass), J.R. Bohannon (pedal steel, guitar), David Grimaldi (guitar - tracks 4 & 5) & Ryan Jewell (drums, marimba - track 4). The result of this new combination of players is a band that sticks together like mud, loosely & effortlessly gliding through performances that may at any moment fall apart. Moving even further away from bedroom-recording style of the band's first proper album A Partner to Lean On, the songs & arrangements on HOUSE OF CONFUSION lean ever-more into the rootsier impulses of Lost in the Country, relying heavily on live recording & instrumentation that features the acoustic guitar & pedal steel. This shift reveals a new, understated complexity within the songs & the tangible, tactile nature of the performances, evoking the free-flowing nature of influences like Tom Petty or Built to Spill, all-throughout imbued with the energy of Country icon Emmylou Harris' cult classic & band favorite, Wrecking Ball. The players on the album remain essential to Benton's vision for the music, with much of the magic emanating from the warmth of collaboration with close friends. All captured by recordist Matt Labozza (Palm, Palberta) at the New Paltz, NY studio Hum House in the span of a few days, the raw jams were taken home to be finished in Benton's home studio & other locations over several months.HOUSE OF CONFUSION is due out on October 22, 2021 via Lame-O Records.


The Punjab state borders touch the Rajasthan where the sale of opium and poppy husk is legal and international border with Pakistan. This is the main cause for the easy flow of the same to the areas in Punjab, making the local youth very susceptible to its use.
Now when the issue of drugs has been highlighted in the Lok Sabha elections and the people have shown their resentment against the ruling Akali-BJP parties and put on the border lines, the entire civil and police administration has swung into action by starting a special campaign against the drugs. It is a separate thing the police is only doing only on papers to conceal their shortcomings. Normally, every police official, if asked, will say, he is busy in campaign against drugs. Seminars, stage plays, rallies against drugs are being organized throughout the state whereas on the other hand legal system is being affected with the traffic jams at different places and increase in the crime of thefts etc.
Even in the government hospitals, the doctors now talk about the drug addicts and forgetting about the treatment or operation of common patients. The situation is such that the number of youths for drug de-addict are increasing in the government hospitals or drug de-addiction centres. But it definitely gives an indication that the drug addicts are not suffered a lot and now to come out of this web.
At the same time, the existing arrangements are not sufficient to deal with the number of drug-addicts. There is a need of drug de-addiction centres with proper availability of medicines apart from expert doctors to do the counseling as these would be beneficial for the addicts to give them a new life after rehabilitation.
Frankly, the campaign against drug de-addiction needs to make it a national campaign by making a concrete proposal by the Centre, not only for drug de-addiction of youths rather for their rehabilitation by giving them vocational trainings for self-employment with easy installments bank loans on low interest. Now the aim is not to make drug-free Punjab but to make drug-free nation. Had such initiatives been taken earlier, thousands of youths and families could be saved from ruining.
Without wasting any time, concrete steps may be taken against the drug de-addiction to have positive results in the coming days.

Virginia is the First State to Implement Workplace Safety Requirements Related to COVID-19
July 21, 2020 by Morgan Elwell
All Virginia employers should be aware that the state's Safety and Health Codes Board has adopted emergency temporary standards for occupational health and safety requirements in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The standards are now available on the Department of Labor and Industry website. The Standards will be published the week of July 27, 2020, and will remain in effect for six months (unless extended).
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam directed the development of the Standards at the same time he issued his Executive Order 63 requiring face coverings inside public buildings. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which has federal oversight of workplace safety, has not implemented many COVID-19-specific requirements for employers. In May, OSHA updated its enforcement guidance for employers on recording COVID-19 as an occupational illness. The guidance, which is now in effect, includes factors to review to establish the reasonableness of an employer's investigation into whether COVID-19 was contracted at work. However, OSHA has been criticized for failing to do more.
Unlike CDC guidelines, which provide guidance related to the health considerations of COVID-19, the new Standards are a legal requirement for any employer subject to VOSH's jurisdiction. In general, the Standards require employers to assess the exposure risk in the place of employment and classify each job task according to the hazards employees are potentially exposed to as either "very high," "high," "medium," or "lower" risk levels of exposure. All employers must implement policies and procedures that are intended to protect employees from workplace exposure to COVID-19 including:
Informing employees of the methods for and encouraging employees to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19;
Implementing policies and procedures for employees to report that they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have tested positive, while maintaining confidentiality as required by HIPAA/ADA;
Requirements related to excluding employees or others who are suspected of infection from the workplace (but telework or other work isolation is permitted);
Required coordination with subcontractors and staffing companies;
Notification requirements when there is a positive test reported – to potentially exposed employees, other employers at the worksite, building owner, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Virginia Department of Labor in certain circumstances; and
Development of return-to-work policies and procedures for known or suspected cases of COVID-19.
The Standards also address requirements for physical distancing (on the job and during breaks on property) and controlling access to common areas, breakrooms, and lunchrooms to require physical distancing, hand washing/sanitizing, and cleaning and disinfecting of shared surfaces and work locations. If physical distancing is not possible, employers shall comply with respiratory protection and personal protective equipment standards applicable to its industry. Heightened requirements for sanitation and disinfecting are also addressed to protect common areas and areas where customers or the general public are present, and areas where a person has been present who is suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19.
There are additional requirements related to the risk categories of "medium" or higher that address engineering controls (e.g., air-handling system requirements), administrative/work practice controls (e.g., screening employees, scheduling, and erecting physical barriers, face coverings for customer facing employees, etc.), and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Within 30 days, employers with employees in any of the risk categories higher than "lower" must also provide employee training related to the Standards. In addition, employees in the "lower" risk category must be provided with information, orally or in writing, of generally applicable information related to the Standards. A form of the notice required for "lower" risk employees will be developed by the Department of Labor.
Employers with "very high," "high," and/or at least 11 employees and "medium" risk job tasks must develop an infectious disease preparedness and response plan within 30 days after the Standards take effect and provide training to employees on the plan within 60 days. The requirements of the plan are addressed in the Standards.
Finally, the Standards include protections for employees from discrimination or discharge for exercising rights under the Standards, wearing their own PPE, or raising a reasonable concern about infection control related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease to the employer or others, including the government or the public.
All Virginia employers should review the Standards and ensure compliance. For assistance with this or any other employment matter, please contact OFP Shareholder Marina Blickley at 703-218-2111, or any of the other employment attorneys at OFP.

Would A Liberal Party Election Victory Lead To Marijuana Legalization In Canada?
(image via wikipedia)
Canada's federal election will take place on October 19th. There will be a lot at stake, as there usually is during a federal election. But there will especially be a lot at stake when it comes to the future of marijuana reform in Canada. If Conservative Party candidate Stephen Harper is elected, he will surely do everything that he can to thwart reform efforts. He recently stated that marijuana is 'infinitely worse' than tobacco, which obviously flies in the face of scientific research. If Liberal Party candidate Justin Trudeau is elected, he claims that his party will get started on marijuana reform 'right away.'
So what would the Liberal Party effort look like? Below is a new policy position that was released by the Liberal Party recently that outlines their vision:
We will legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana.
Canada's current system of marijuana prohibition does not work. It does not prevent young people from using marijuana and too many Canadians end up with criminal records for possessing small amounts of the drug.
Arresting and prosecuting these offenses is expensive for our criminal justice system. It traps too many Canadians in the criminal justice system for minor, non-violent offenses. At the same time, the proceeds from the illegal drug trade support organized crime and greater threats to public safety, like human trafficking and hard drugs.
To ensure that we keep marijuana out of the hands of children, and the profits out of the hands of criminals, we will legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana.
We will remove marijuana consumption and incidental possession from the Criminal Code, and create new, stronger laws to punish more severely those who provide it to minors, those who operate a motor vehicle while under its influence, and those who sell it outside of the new regulatory framework.
We will create a federal/provincial/territorial task force, and with input from experts in public health, substance abuse, and law enforcement, will design a new system of strict marijuana sales and distribution, with appropriate federal and provincial excise taxes applied.
What do TWB readers think? Do you plan on voting for Justin Trudeau? If so, why? If not, why?

Walter Hunt invented the safety pin by forming an eight-inch brass pin into a bent pin with a spring and guard. He sold the rights to his invention to pay a debt to a friend,  not knowing that he could have made millions of dollars.... You also can make several different angel crafts if you want to give a homemade angel gift. One such craft is a beaded safety pin angel that can be used as an ornament, a figurine to sit on a tabletop or can be attached to a blank pin that can be worn on a lapel.
Make sure to try one safety pin first to see how this goes for you. Is it comfortable? Can you sleep with it? I personally sleep with my pins in, they do not bother me. I know people who like wearing them but find it uncomfortable to sleep with them.

I got this from Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors. It will be available to the public on June 17th 2014. Since today was free comic day I was in the mood to read something light. This is the perfect comic for a late elementary/middle schooler to read. It is only 88 pages long so it was a quick read. There were 4 stories or so all based on friendship. I picked this up because I remembered liking My Little Pony when I was a kid and wanted to see what I thought as an adult. I found it enjoyable as a adult and didn't find it too cutesy.

"I have not yet begun to fight."
Bonhomme Richard strafing the decks of Serapis.

The History of the H.M.S. Serapis
In 1779, England was embroiled in a bitter political and military conflict with its colonies in the New World and their French allies. While this crisis period, known as the American Revolution, is commonly thought to have been confined to American soil, many of the war's important events took place in foreign oceans and lands. A significant event was the unlikely capture of the English warship H.M.S. Serapis by John Paul Jones, who is credited as the Father of the American Navy. This historic Revolutionary War engagement fought on the North Sea, off Flamborough Head, England, is one of the most famous events in naval history. Jones' victory over "impossible" odds won him immortality in the chronicles of American History while his attributed quote, "I have not yet begun to fight," became the universal battle cry for the underdog.
Built in England, Serapis was a powerful frigate, designed for unprecedented versatility and power in ocean battles. On what was her only voyage under the British flag, Serapis was launched on her maiden voyage in mid-1779 with orders to protect the Baltic Merchant Fleet from piracy. On September 23, 1779, John Paul Jones stood issuing battle orders from the deck of the French Bon Homme Richard as the ship was locked in battle with Serapis.
Jones eventually won the day, captured Serapis and successfully transferred his crew off the fatally damaged Bon Homme Richard. Ironically, it was the first time in naval history that colors were surrendered to a sinking ship. Aboard Serapis, Jones and his fleet limped into Texel, a Dutch port. But his triumph was short lived as British and French diplomats immediately pressured the neutral Dutch government for possession of Jones' prize. Soon the entire fleet was placed under the French flag, except for the American-built ship Alliance, on which Jones was allowed to return home. Although the outcome was less than satisfactory to Jones, news of the event quickly circulated as a worldwide media story while songs and poems were written about the battle. This coverage helped solidify the commitment of the American patriots and encouraged them as they waged war against Great Britain.
Sometime later, the French navy commissioned Serapis, under Captain Roche, to assist in a campaign to wrest India from British rule. Roche proceeded to the French fort Isle Ste. Marie, located off the northern coast of Madagascar. While Roche was ashore, a lieutenant and a subordinate went below deck to obtain the daily brandy ration for the sailors. While the men were "cutting" the brandy's full strength with water, their lantern fell into the vat and set the spirit locker on fire. Attempts to extinguish the blaze failed and after two-and-a-half hours, the flames burned through the locker walls and reached the powder magazine. An explosion blew out the stern and the vessel sank.
The vagaries of time and sea had all but erased the whereabouts of the Serapis until it was discovered in November 1999 by American nautical archaeologist, Richard Swete and his associate Michael Tuttle. After years of research and a systematic magnetometer survey of the harbor on Isle Ste. Marie, Swete and a team of archaeologists discovered the remains of Serapis.

This Cup Final at Headingley was brought forward a week to allow Huddersfield's test tourists to take part before them departed for the long boat trip to Australia. A crowd of up to 35,000 had been planned for for at Headingley but rain had been driving down all day and just 22,000 ended up making the final in the end. Huddersfield had scraped past Wakefield in Round 2 and then needed a replay to see off St Helens Recreation in the Quarter Finals but nethertheless they were top of the league table and a huge challenge for Wigan.
Wigan had taken the lead, after being awarded a try for obstruction, but Huddersfield stepped up the pace with Rogers, Wagstaff and Pogson all getting a touch in a long break down field before Clark finished off the move with the try. Conversion made it 5-5 and before half time Huddersfield went 8-5 up with a try from Pogson that went unconverted.
Wigan started the second half under the pump but somehow managed to break out and re-take the lead. Ernie Shaw found a break and the supporting Syd Jerram finished the move with a try that made it 10-8 after Jolley converted. Huddersfield though finished far stronger and score three tries from Habron, Todd and Pogson again to complete a 21-10 success.


On Monday, May 8, I met Newbery award-winning author Adam Gidwitz (author of the Grimm series which we own in ebook format – find the books in your library catalog). He was a fantastic storyteller and a really nice guy. One of my favorite moments was when a student asked him if he'd rather die by dragon-fart attack or by drowning in quicksand (read his book The Inquisitor's Tale (click for book info) to understand this seemingly weird question). He was inspiring to the readers, librarians, and educators in the room, for sure. And on Thursday, May 11, I heard the authors in Miss Maiden's class read from their new book (see photos below). It's always exciting to hear authors read their own words. What an amazing week of books and authors!
I recently presented a webinar for INFOhio (recording here) and suggested some great books to read over the summer. Not my best presentation, surely (I need a LIVE audience with FACES), but some really really great reading ideas for everyone.

I would imagine if it's something, energetic in nature, it would probabally be a secondary center opening up or perhaps just localizing some energy for healing or something like that. It's really hard to tell not knowing much and how consistent. But that does happen to some people on the third eye and varoius other chakras so I don't see why a secondary center couldnt' do the same.

Anyone reading Judy Wieder's memoir, Random Events Tend to Cluster, would conclude that the former editor-in-chief of the Advocate has lived an incredible, unpredictable life.
Wieder got her start in media by faking her way into a copywriting position at a third-rate musical instrument company in '60s New York, and making a career transition into gossip magazines. A white lesbian from California in the '70s, Wieder edited Black teen and lifestyle magazines while she also co-wrote songs with Motown hitmmaker Frank Wilson.
In the '80s, Wieder parlayed her music experience into a rock journalism career, which saw her heading out on tour with Poison ( and educating Bret Michaels and the band about the dangers of HIV in the process ). All of this was before The Advocate added her to their staff as one of its first women hires, in the early '90s, and before she memorably chased down interviews with Melissa Etheridge, Ellen DeGeneres and Matthew Shepard's mother, Judy, as its first female editor-in-chief.
"There's times when you can reflect, and there's times when you can't, and sometimes you don't know why," Wieder said of her decision to finally chronicle her life. "You know how when you're doing something ... you're still wrapped up in your frustrations with it, or your joy with it, your victories or the defeats that you had, and you can't really see what its importance is outside of your own life. I really had hit a place in my life where I could look back and understand what had happened, and what it meant to everybody."
The experience of reading Random Events Tend to Cluster is singular and immediate. Wieder reports each decade in the present tense, and her own life is intertwined with a narrative based on a concurrent historical event. With vibrant storytelling but journalistic seriousness, Wieder imagines, among others, the last days of James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, the civil-rights workers murdered by the KKK in 1964 Mississippi and the thoughts of the Jonestown massacre survivors.
"I was hoping and trusting that if I could tell stories based on facts that people would stay with the many, many events that I believe are tremendously important to know," Wieder said. She recalled such events when they happened but enjoyed the opportunity to return to them, to explore their significance now and uncover other narratives in the history. "I'm stuck with what formed me, and I tried to get out of some of that, by telling other people's stories too," she said.
Throughout her career, Wieder was a master at uncovering hidden narratives—something that often occurred because she was consistently a fish out of water.
"It gave me—I don't want to say distance because there was not enough distance, but it gave me a space to be able to not be so tied into it that I couldn't also see some more angles on it," she explained. This was particularly apparent when she joined The Advocate, right after the worst part of the AIDS epidemic.
"The fact that I was a woman, and I'm not even talking when I became editor-in-chief, that was really historic," said Wieder. "I was one of the first women that worked out there. It took a while for women to make it in there and that was very on my mind, I was trying to change that. I think that probably I was not as frightened, I was not as wrapped up in the grief...I certainly understood, but I wasn't looking everywhere and seeing my friends die one after another."
Although LGBTQ acceptance is more widespread than in Wieder's time, she still feels its media has a role to play. "There's still a very valuable service that the gay media needs to do for the non-gay media to make sure that certain stories are covered, and just keep blaring that horn until it gets across to people who aren't us," she said. "Maybe it's a little subtler, but horrible things still happen and sometimes people don't understand what was really important."
Right around the end of Wieder's Advocate tenure, media shifted from print to primarily online stories. It's a change Wieder finds herself wishing hadn't happened; she feels that a certain lack of analysis is missing from the barrage of information readers constantly encounter.
"People would say I'm old-fashioned, I prefer print," she said. "[Online media feels like] being treated like you have to know this, I'm just going to tell you something, there it is, and you say, oh, that's important, I'm glad you told me that, I wrote it down. But really, at some point, it's going to tire us out and overwhelm us. It just seems like a shotgun of news that doesn't go the next step."
To explain her perception of the change, Wieder offers the example of trying to report on incidents of gay-bashing. "What is his motivation, what is bothering him?" she said she would ask about the basher as she began. "And you start to analyze that, so first of all, we LGBTs can understand, and people might learn something or get some handles on it. That part of the journalism was the highlight for me. Not just teaching, but my own urge to get other writers that I worked with and other editors to [ask] "why, why, why". Is this just some out of the norm incident that took place? But wait, this happened four times. Wait, this is a trend. What is causing this to happen? And I don't see any of that going on. I see that it's a this thing happened, that thing happened. I don't see it happening in a way where you do what we used to call "a think piece."
And her preference for following the story to understand it, for depth, is reflected in the way she tells her own remarkable story.
"It takes you while to get there, to start to hunger for that, rather that just feel important because you know all these things," Wieder said. "The important thing is to understand it, and that's what makes all of us start to jump a layer and get something a little deeper out of life."

Sayang Sembawang September 2016
Many of us are fortunate to call Sembawang home. What do you love most about our home, Sembawang?
Perhaps it's the many developments set to take place here. The Sembawang Sports and Community Hub (SSCH) is one prime example. With a polyclinic, hawker centre, swimming pools, indoor & outdoor sports facilities and many more, the SSCH will have something for everyone. It will also serve as a vibrant space that promotes community bonding. Learn about all the latest updates on the Sembawang Sports and Community Hub in this issue (Page 3 – 7)!
Or perhaps, it's the lively community that we have here in Sembawang GRC. Together, we celebrated Singapore's 51st birthday, commemorating the years of hard work and sacrifice that have made us into the nation we are today (Pages 8 – 10). We also tended the community gardens in our Towns diligently, harvesting over 100 kg of fresh vegetables, which were used to make a delicious meal for low-income families in our midst (Page 11).
Our community is not only one that has fun together, but one that works hand in hand for the good of all. With the recent reports of Zika cases in Singapore, the Town Council has taken preventive measures such as the fogging of estates, the increased checking for and treating of potential mosquito breeding grounds. During this time, I would like to urge all residents to protect themselves, and also to do the 5-Step Mozzie Wipeout (Pgs 14 – 15).
Let us continue to work together to make Sembawang an outstanding home for all in the years to come. Sayang Sembawang, Sayang Singapore!

According to reports from law enforcement agencies, drug traffickers on the dark web have voluntarily stopped trading fentanyl.
Fentanyl is a deadly opioid that can be up to 100 times stronger than heroin. Since the painkiller is often sold as a substitute for heroin, it has resulted in thousands of accidental overdoses.
With international law enforcement groups working to stop the drug's distribution, top drug traffickers have effectively put a ban on fentanyl sales, a representative from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) told the Observer.
This makes fentanyl the first drug that has ever been dropped from large dark web trade routes.
NCA contact Vince O'Brien says that this is because substances and goods that are linked to wide-spread fatalities are more likely to draw police attention – and the dangers of the drug are also too great for the individual user.
"If they've got people selling very high-risk commodities, then it's going to increase the risk to the [traffickers]," said O'Brien. "There are marketplaces that will not accept listings for weapons and explosives – those are the ones that will not accept listings for fentanyl. Clearly, law enforcement would prioritize the supply of weapons, explosives and fentanyl over, for example, class C drugs – and that might well be why they do this.
