A near-capacity crowd filled New York City's Town Hall for the Peabody Chamber Orchestra's April 15 concert featuring Leon Fleisher as both conductor and pianist. Fleisher, who holds the Andrew W. Mellon Chair in Piano at Johns Hopkins' Peabody Institute, led the orchestra in a reprise of the all-Mozart program they had performed two nights earlier in Peabody's Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall: Mozart's Symphonies No. 1 and 41, and the Piano Concerto No. 12, which Fleisher led from the keyboard.
Presented by the People's Symphony Concerts of New York, the performance was a celebration of Fleisher's 90th birthday and nearly 60 years on the faculty at Peabody. It also marked the first appearance by a Peabody ensemble in New York since 2006.

Lord Of The Lost release Fears - 10th Anniversary Edition -
10 years ago an album was released that launched one of the most impressive and consistent careers in dark metal - "Fears" by Lord Of The Lost. Initially, merely an idea of frontman and band founder Chris Harms, this groundbreaking debut developed into a full-fledged band and set the foundation for a unique masterpiece. To mark the 10th anniversary, this classic album is remastered and re-released with bonus tracks.
Everything started quite modestly for Lord Of The Lost, too. Chris remembers "a small flat in Berlin-Friedrichshain, low budget recording equipment, a guitar, a microphone, and far too many ideas that I couldn't place anywhere else." The bittersweet atmosphere of the album perfectly captures the singer's mood: "I was newly in love and spent my days off in Berlin. But that also meant that I had a lot of time alone in this unfamiliar city, while my new girlfriend was at work during the day. So I started to write an album for her, which then became "Fears"." Songs like 'Till Death Us Do Part', 'Dry The Rain', or 'To Die For' already conveyed a melancholic flair, which, paired with heavy guitar riffs and sing-along hooks that perfectly captured the character of this extraordinary band.
"Fears 2020" is now released as Digipak CD including six bonus tracks, as creme white 2-LP, and as a Special Edition including the 2-LP, CD!

Today, 39 years ago, New Order released its debut album Movement!
Movement is the debut album by New Order, released on 13 November 1981 by Factory Records. The album was produced by Martin Hannett who also produced the previous Joy Division albums and releases. At the time of its release, the album was not particularly well-received by critics or audiences, only peaking at number 30 on the UK Albums Chart. However, retrospective critical reception has been very positive.
After the suicide of Joy Division's singer Ian Curtis in May 1980, and the subsequent shock for those surrounding him, remaining members Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris elected to carry on, albeit under a new name – New Order. With the exception of two songs, "Ceremony" (first played live at Joy Division's very last gig, a bit more than two weeks before Curtis's death) and "In a Lonely Place" (unreleased, but demoed in the studio), all the material played would be new.
A couple of songs on Movement stem from the initial songwriting session the band undertook in the summer of 1980.
Bernard Sumner took the main vocalist role with Peter Hook as back-up though the latter sang lead on "Dreams Never End" and "Doubts Even Here".
Musically the album situated in between Joy Division's post-punk sound and the synth-pop style that would happen to define New Order and influence pop music for decades".[10]
In 2008 and 2015 the album was remastered and released in different formats (Digital/CD/12").
References to Ian Curtis appear on the songs "ICB" (rumored to be an acronym for 'Ian Curtis Buried', but confirmed by Peter Hook in a 2013 interview) and "The Him".
The album cover was designed by Peter Saville and is based on a poster by the Italian Futurist Fortunato Depero.
The shape created by the top three lines is an 'F' (lying on its back), which refers to Factory Records/Factory Communications Limited and the bottom two lines create an 'L' (lying on its front), the Roman numeral 50, the original catalogue was FACT 50.

Today, 42 years ago, Siouxsie & The Banshees released their debut album Scream!
The Scream is the debut album by Siouxsie and the Banshees. It was an almost instant commercial success, peaking at No. 12 on the UK Albums Chart and was recorded in only one week and mixed in three during August 1978. The album was released on 13 November 1978 by Polydor. Before the album's release, the band had developed a strong reputation as a live act, and had achieved a Top 10 UK single with "Hong Kong Garden", a track which did not appear on the original album, but was added not much later to most others issues of Scream.
Upon release, The Scream was widely acclaimed by critics. It was also a commercial success, peaking at No. 12 in the UK Albums Chart. The album is regarded as a landmark of post-punk.
Late 1977 and early 1978, Siouxsie and the Banshees received major press coverage but failed to secure a recording deal. A fan undertook a graffiti campaign in London, spraying the walls of the major record companies with the words "Sign the Banshees: do it now".[2] Polydor finally signed them in June.
J. G. Ballard and William Burroughs provided the reference points for the lyrics of The Scream.
Since its release, The Scream has received a number of accolades from the music press. NME rated it at No. 57 in their "Writers All Time 100 Albums" list in 1985. Uncut magazine placed it at No. 43 in their list of the 100 greatest debut albums. It was featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The Scream placed the group among the pioneers of post-punk, as Robert Smith of the Cure said:
"When The Scream came out, I remember it was much slower than everybody thought. It was like the forerunner of the Joy Division sound. It was just big-sounding."
Joy Division's Peter Hook, who saw the band in concert in Manchester in 1977, said about The Scream: "Siouxsie And The Banshees were one of our big influences, The Banshees first LP was one of my favourite ever records, the way the guitarist and the drummer played was a really unusual way of playing."
The Scream had a strong impact on other musicians. Massive Attack covered and sampled "Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)" on their song "Superpredators (Metal Postcard)" in 1997.

Lazaro Camejo (born December 27, 1991), better known by his stage name BZZY or Bizzy Crook, as he was formerly known, is an American rapper from Miami, Florida. While still attending high school, he signed his first record deal with Mona Scott. Eventually parting ways with the label, BZZY has been releasing new music as an independent artist, which has led him to be on tour with the likes of Kid Ink and Wale. After recently being part of the Tidal (service) Discovery panel, BZZY performed for the 2015 Made in America event headlined by Beyoncé, The Weeknd, J. Cole and more. Most known for his mixtapes '84 and No Hard Feelings.

Early life
Lazaro Camejo was born in Miami, Florida on December 27, 1991. He spent several years of his childhood in Egypt, but was mostly raised in Florida. Camejo nicknamed himself BZZY because he was always up to no good as a kid. As he grew and separated himself from trouble, he decided to stick with the name since he had already gained a fan base with his music.

With an initial passion for poetry, BZZY was drawn more towards songwriting after hearing "My Name Is" by Eminem for the first time at the age of 7. From that point, he knew that making music is what he wanted to pursue and make a career out of. He grew up listening to hip-hop artists such as Eminem, Fabolous, Jay Z, Nas, Trick Daddy, Lloyd Banks, Kanye West and The Diplomats. BZZY was caught with a gun at age 12, then later arrested at the age of 16 for again possessing a firearm. The time was spent at a juvenile detention center in Florida. It was at age of 18 he signed his first record deal with Mona Scott.

Career
BZZY's career began with South Florida-based hip hop collective PayUp! Game. He later left to pursue a solo career. BZZY released his first mixtape, PS I'm Sorry, in 2011 while still attending high school. Soon after, him and his label decided to part ways. Experiencing depression earlier in his life over past relationships, the split with the label caused him to fall back to that depressed state. His past depression had him even almost commit suicide. In 2012 BZZY dropped P.S. I'm Sorry 2 which featured tracks with rappers Jim Jones, Vado along with several others and was executive produced by Amer Hanini. BZZY went on to release his now most-known mixtapes '84 and No Hard Feelings. Currently an independent artist, he works closely with his team he calls Good Luck, which is everything from producing, merchandise, photography, etc.

BZZY's mixtape '84 was released in 2013, which landed him as an opener alongside rapper King Los-for the My Own Lane tour, headlining Kid Ink. His mixtape No Hard Feelings, released in 2014 and currently having over 2 million streams, got him as an opener-along with rap group Audio Push-for the Simply Nothing tour, starring Wale.

In 2016 BZZY released two projects, "A Part of Everything", and "While You Were Away".

BZZY released his first album titled "Before I Jump" in 2018. Crook describes the album as "a suicidal letter" for himself that he shared with the world.

BZZY has had his music videos played on MTV, VH1, BET and more. He's been nominated for the XXL Magazine Freshmen 2015 Class; as well as Billboard Magazine's "Artist on the Verge" Class of 2015. He was also recently featured on the music streaming service Tidal (service) under the "Tidal Discovery" segment.

In addition to touring, BZZY has performed at events such as South by Southwest (SXSW)  and Hot97 Who's Next. More recently, BZZY performed for the 2015 Made in America event headlined by Beyoncé, The Weeknd, J. Cole and more.

Alfa's Latest Offers: No Deposit Over Five Years, Have Another £750.
And other sales news too. Alfa are trying hard to fill the shop window. There are still three models on sale, if you're interested. Read on to see what they thought they'd be selling by now.
Alfa UK´s hard sell (that is, it is hard to sell Alfas).
Not so many hours after I made up a slogan for Alfa "We're still in business! 25% off a 2014 Giulia for an unlimited period" it turns out this is not far from the truth. This Alfa UK home page (above) is full of activity but not so full of cars, pretty much as it was when I posted this item.
If we take a look at the diagram for Alfa's plans we see that two years ago the 159-replacement was due along with an SUV. And a Spider was due last year. There is no suggestion that there will be a 166-size car at any stage. So, we can say that it took a three decade fight, starting with the Alfa 6 in 1979 for Alfa to conclude a large car was never going to work out. And that there really is very little in the pipeline. Perhaps some of those Chryslers badged as Lancias can have Alfa Romeo badges applied instead.
Old Alfa Romeo product plants
While I am writing, the BBC posted a report that European Union car sales are still growing, with VW doing quite well. But the very same day Automotive News reports that Ford's number one seller, the Fiesta is attracting less business. As a result the Cologne plant will be idled for 11 days in October and November. This is due to a slowdown in sales in some key regions for the Fiesta: Germany, France and Italy. On the plus side, Ford sales overall have improved by 15% in August.
And while the BBC puts a nice gloss on the recovery, Automotive News does not: sales are increasing but the rate of increase is slowing. "Peter Fuss, automotive expert at Ernst & Young, said it had been the second worst August in the past 12 years for car sales in the EU. "The tentative recovery in the European auto market seems to be running out of breath".
The article goes on to distinguish between an increase in sales and increase in price levels. You can sell a car but not make so much money on it. Analysts don't reckon on sales getting back to 2007 levels any time soon; 2020 they suggest. That leaves plenty of time for another crisis or two. The European seller's market is dead, that's for sure.
Does this slowing of sales imply something more unsettling is taking place in the European economy? A car is something you buy when you feel confident and have money. Why might it be that Europeans are lacking in one, other or both of these? The sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US started with a dramatic drop in plastic surgery business. In a similar way, does the slowing of car sales presage something worse?

There appears to be more than a few mixed messages emanating from FCA about Alfa's planned new range. Autocar (28 August) reported the first sighting of a development mule for project 952, which they say will be a 3-Series rival. Meanwhile Automotive News' Luca Ciferri (Sept 1) tells it differently, claiming this new model will rival the Audi A6 and will be partnered by a larger Audi A8 rival. No mention of a compact saloon at all, but suggestions of a Giulietta replacement.
Photos of the development mules show a car based on Maserati Ghibli underpinnings and outer panels, suggesting Ciferri has it right, but this makes a lie of FCA's claim of a brand new platform.
What is abundantly clear is that Alfa's cause would be far better served by a 3-Series rival than a larger car, both in Europe and in the US, but perhaps it is going to be another case of make do and mend. Given that the new model is due a reveal next year, it all should become a good deal clearer very soon.
As to the situation across Europe, the upward figures have been mostly incentive-driven. Behind this smokescreen, the European market remains essentially flat. There are exceptions – the Republic of Ireland is on a gentle upward swing, the UK remains exceptionally strong and although it has suffered a recent downturn, Germany remains reasonably healthy. Spain has gone down the scrappage route, and Italy continues on life-support. France is limping upwards but could easily fall back again. It would appear that little has really changed since the 2008 crash…
S.V. Robinson says:
Let's face it, the news out of FCA (now part-timing as the new financial regulator in the UK – hence the move of its head office to London) is disturbingly MGRover-a-like. We all hang on every word of every announcement in some kind of hope, but the hope never becomes reality and the "strategy" chops and changes every 18-12 months (at an every increasing rate of desparation) which means nothing is ever actually launched/ delivered. I give it 3 years maximum.
That seems about right. Curiously, Chrysler is doing quite well in the US. I think Marchionne is hoping that Chrysler will provide cash and a market. At the same time. the paltry rate at which new vehicles are being launched is a very bad sign, not unlike Rover´s dying days when plastic kit was added to some vehicles and others had their chrome sprayed black and were sold as MGs. I saw one of these recently and the paint is coming off. Things looked quite rosy around the time of the 156 and 147 but they blew it after that with the heavy 158; the 166 died unreplaced; the GTV and Spider disappointed and that´s it, isn´t it? The Mito seems the wrong car for Alfa and the GIualia is too heavy and over-worked. I still like the 147s a lot: that was a very nice bit of work.
You forgot the Brera. Nice looking car but again too heavy.
I quite like the Mito personally but you're right in dubbing it the wrong car as it's simply not good or special enough to have any positive impact on Alfa's fortunes.
Just realised that for GTV and Spider you probably meant the Brera, in which case the one you missed is the GT. I seem to remember that got pretty good reviews at the time.
The GT deserved to sell better: inside and out it had special written all over it. The Spider, Brera and GT went out of production in 2010. The 159 was discontinued in 2011.
Kris Kubrick says:
A Brera or 159 with RWD proportions would rank among the most desirable cars of the last cedace in my book – with the Brera concept being the last great Giugiaro design, full stop.
But the '90s Alfas also still appeal, even though the ageing process does belie their humble components. Right at the beginning of the millennium, Alfa had every chance to "do an Audi" and ascend the automotive ladder, albeit with a 15 year delay. It wouldn't have been 10% of the uphill struggle Marchionne's current plans have to face today.
"The Last Cedace" – The new novel by Nicholas Sparks
That range that had 147, 156, 166, Spider and GTV in it was rather gorgeous. I loved the 147, but the 156 still rates as the best looking mid-range saloon ever in my books. I also like the later 159, and it still looks fresh today, but the 156 was just perfect. WdS at his very best – although I note he has said he feels the A5 (not the 5 door) is his favourite car?!
Sam the Eagle: please look in your work mail to see why your new article has disappeared. It will be back at 12.00 tomorrow!
c says:
many recent auto reports I have read have talked of the next 5 series rival which was the 166 size as being named alfetta with top of the range models having the twin turbo v6 500bhp+ maserati/alfa engine and presumably a front engine and rear transaxle like the previous 116 alfetta so I would say there will be a 166 replacement because it competed with the 5 series and for that there is an expected replacement. The 166 in my opinion was never a 7 series rival.
Oh and regarding alfa plans previously in recent years Fiat talked up the brand with grand plans but without the cash necessary to implement said plans. However with the success it has made of chrysler in the USA it has made sufficient funding to develop the talked of new range of cars at Alfa….separate from Fiat engineering under the new skunkworks headed by ex ferrari managers…..i remain optimistic this will produce interesting cars, the first of which is the 4C which is the first sports car at its price point to use a carbon fibre tub….though it still needs some development to make that car great.

Hi Minerva: thanks for stopping by. I would agree with you about the 166 as more of a 5-series rival than 7-series. The mystery was why more people didn´t go for it, especially in its later and very handsome form with the revised lights and deep grille. Inside and out it was a very characterful car and, in 2.0 litre guises, was nicely balanced. I look forward to seeing a replacement if that is indeed in the pipeline. These days the 5-series class is very much reduced as so many competitors have died: Opel Omega, Ford Granada/Scorpio, Lancia Thesis, Citroen C6, Chrysler 300 and so on, The choices are limited and rather samey now, though I admit the three remaining stars of this class are all very competent and thoroughly developed machines.
I hope the 166 replacement is not solely a wildly engined car. My beef with all these cars is their unhandy size and strangely overworked interiors.

La Huaca Pro  se encuentra en el margen izquierdo del río Chillón ,se encuentra rodeado por el parque "La huaca de Oro" y por la urbanización Pro ubicada exactamente en en el cruce entre el jirón Comprensión y el Jirón Los Principios ,distrito de Los Olivos ,provincia de Lima ,Perú .Su construcción se estima en más de un milenio ,según el Ministerio de Cultura ; pero empezó a tener una mayor importancia antes del Intermedio Tardío, justo antes de su posterior abandono.

Además de tener muy cerca al colegio Huaca de Oro N°3090 ,dicho colegio debe su nombre a la proximidad con esta huaca.

El arquéologo y catedrático Gerardo Bard estuvo a cargo de las excavaciones por parte de la Universidad Nacional Federico Villareal en el año 2014-2015 como parte de un proyecto de investigación ,donde se descubrió que la estructura piramidal constaba de 3 sectores, 3 niveles y 3 fases. Esta estructura arquitectónica fue construida ,transformada a traves de los años. El hecho de que la huaca posea  riqueza arquitectónica e historica y que se mantenga en pie hasta nuestros días es gracias a las diversas fases por las que atravesó.

Esta huaca fue construida mediante la técnica de los adobones , habiendose construido múltiples habitaciones ,pasadisos dentro ,que fueron enterrados conforme las diferentes fases transcurrieron.

La huaca  Pro no fue un asentamiento para la población aledaña ,su función principal fue de centro religioso ,ceremonial y administrativo. Dentro de las diversas excavaciones se encontraron diversas ofrendas tales como maderos quemados, sacrificios humanos, etc.

Hoy en día la huaca Proes un centro de recreación, tanto para adultos como niños que suben hasta su cima para poder volar cometas,habiendose integrado de manera armoniosa con la urbanización, dejando atrás un pasado en el que estaba descuidada y hechada al olvido por las autoridades.

Cronología

Fases que atravesó

Durante su primera fase se encontró una zona de muros altos y pisos bien tratados, fue su primer momento de ocupación y también estos fueron sus constructores, se sabe que le dieron un fin ceremonial y administrativo. En su 2da fase los muros no eran tan altos y los pisos eran rellenados ,esto debido a que habían construido sobre los cimientos de la 1era fase ,quizás esto haya empezado cuando se enterraban las ofrendas. Y en su 3era fase fue donde se dio su abandono, sin embargo, aún le seguían dando ofrendas y entierros de forma recurrente todo eso durante el Horizonte tardío (incas). Esta estructura desde su comienzo hasta su fin estuvo dedicada a la actividad ceremonial y religiosa, dentro se ha hallado restos humanos, de animales, troncos quemados (que serían de utilidad ritual en esas épocas).

Hay sendas versiones acerca del origen del nombre huaca  Proo como también la denominan los vecinos huaca de oro, la primera nos devela que hace muchos años existió en esa zona la famosa hacienda Pro, la cual abarcaba el cerro Pro y la huaca Pro debido a ello lleva ese nombre, además como se sabe esta huaca fue un centro ceremonial y entre las ofrendas dadas se hallaban las que se hacían con metales preciosos tales como el oro, esto desencadenó una concurrencia frecuente de los llamados "huaqueros",pues era muy frecuente que en la 3era fase de ocupación las ofrendas se encontraran enterradas a una corta distancia del suelo.Esto motivó que se hallasen restos de oro, lo que conllevó a que los vecinos la denominasen también como huaca de Oro.

Hasta hace unos años, según relatan los vecinos se podía hallar restos de cerámicos precolombinos de manera fácil esto motivó el interés de los huaqueros quienes llegaban encapuchados en la madrugada a buscar tesoros en la huaca aprovechándose, además  que la huaca era vista como un sitio de mal vivir donde rondaban personas inescrupolosas.

Hallazgos
Dentro de las diversas fases de ocupación que tuvo la huaca Pro se puede apreciar la influencia y el paso de diversas sociedades ,esto debido a que en las excavaciones se hallaron sellos ,pero sobre todo en los diferentes niveles se encontraron  diversos cerámicos que iban desde pedazos de aríbalos hasta vasijas , acorde a las investigaciones y gracias al conocimiento que se tiene  de las técnicas que usaron las sociedades que habitaron el valle bajo del río Chillón  se puede aseverar que por la huaca Pro pasaron los Chancay, los Colli ,los Lima y los Yshma siendo esta la cerámica más abundante ,dando validez a lo que sostienen los arqueólogos ,pues los Yshma fueron un señorio  pre-inca con quienes la huaca tendría su mayor prestigio como centro ceremonial antes de su posterior abandono en el Horizonte Tardío.

Funciones de la huaca
Según Antonio Raymondi , para entender la importancia y funciones de la huaca Pro es necesario analizarla en conjunto con las otras huacas de su periferia ,tales como el cerro Pro, la huaca Pro se halla a 200 metros de este, sin embargo, estos fueron parte del mismo sistema hace no menos de 100 años, fue la desaparición de la hacienda Pro la que provocó la urbanización y proliferación de suburbios entre estos 2 espacios cortándose así un canal vital para entender el sistema. Con los estudios se descubrió que en la cosmovisión andina se tendía a la recreación y a la dualidad. Es así como los arqueólogos han llegado a la conclusión que la huaca Pro y el cerro Pro  buscan ser una representación del cerro Zorro y la huaca Alborada de la actual zona de Collique, pues ambos tienen una separación de 200 metros uno del otro, además que ambas huacas cumplían la misma función ceremonial y los cerros  tenían funciones funerarias. No obstante, la huaca Pro cayó en abandono mientras que la huaca Alborada no cayó en desuso ,sino hasta mucho después del Horizonte Tardío

Huaca Pro en la actualidad

La huaca Pro hace no menos de 20 años era un lugar donde polulaban personas de mal vivir, donde  los vecinos tenían miedo de rondar y en consecuencia  terminó siendo dejada de lado tanto como por los moradores como por las autoridades distritales, en 2002 fue declarado patrimonio protegido.No fue ,sino hasta  hace  unos 6 años en 2016 que la municipalidad anunció su recuperación para el turismo y para los mismos vecinos, es así como el parque que lo rodeaba empezó a cuidarse mejor ,el colegio "Huaca de Oro " empezó a realizar campañas de sensibilización sobre la huaca, invitando a distinguidos arqueólogos tales como Antonio Raymondi,estas campañas ayudarían a tener más conciencia tanto a los jóvenes como a la población circundante. Gracias a estas acciones la huaca fue puesta en valor, quizás motivado con un fin estético sembraron plantas al pie de la huaca, cosa prohibida por la normativa, pues las huacas se hunden  al entrar en contacto con agua de forma constante. Los niños, vecinos y demás visitantes pasan por la huaca  con fines recreativos  habiendola integrado de forma satisfactoria a la urbe y su vida cotidiana.

In order to understand the patterns of control, we have to dig a little deeper and understand why they might be there.
With the best of intentions, because we all want what is best for our child, we turn to control under the clever disguise of: "my child need's me to do it", "this is best for my child", "this will protect my child", "this makes it easier for my child". Control wears many hats… We do it to avoid discomfort for ourselves and for our child and we do it because we fear of what might happen if we don't.
In the short term, when we 'control' things for our children things seem okay, but with over-control, the cracks will appear. Long term, this is not good. In fact, long term, the trappings of unhealthy control might cause our children to respond to the control with more control, fail, not develop a strong sense of self, self-reliance, resilience because they have been robbed of the opportunity of doing things for themselves in order to develop those skills. Because someone else has always been in control of them.
How do you feel when you are being controlled by someone else?
How do you feel when you are not in control?
Why do you feel the need to control?
What is it that you are scared of?
It is disconcerting for anyone to feel that they are not in control and that someone else controls their every move which can often cause them to exert more control. On the flip side, as the controller, the pressure of feeling like you have to control everything places you under extraordinary amounts of stress because of your fear of what might happen if you don't. Dr. Shefali Tsabary, the NYT bestselling author of Out Of Control believes that behind every controlling child is a controlling parent.
Ask yourself: What does your child need?
We have to look for the antidote to our control. What does this look like?
If we can see control as a tight grip that we have on things in order to avoid the fear of what might happen if we don't hold on tight, then it is easier to see that the antidote to this is to release it, to loosen our grip on it and eventually be able to let it go.
Until we can let go of unhealthy patterns of control, our kids will continue to either fight us in an attempt to regain control or question themselves and their worth for not having enough control. We have to let go of stale patterns, old scripts and present fears that do not serve us or our children well.
To do this, we have to start by "changing" our minds. Literally. We have to shift our minds, change the gear that we drive in and instead of driving from control, fear, worry, doubt and lack drive from trust, love and our essence.
What is your mind saying to you?
What are the patterns of control?
Your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings create your actions: If your thoughts are coming from fear, worry and doubt, this will show up as feelings of anxiety and when you are scared, what do you do? You hold on tighter and tighten your grip.
Hopefully you can now see this cycle of control and the effects that it might have on you and your relationship with your child.
What if you were to channel your energy into taking control of yourself rather than your child?
What if you could look to connecting to your child's deepest needs rather than controlling them?
The answer lies in taking charge of ourselves, owning our part to play in it and taking the steps required to control ourselves. We can control the gear from which our minds are operating and find a way to stop ourselves from being triggered by our fear of not being in control. We have to consciously change gear. Control the words we choose. Control ourselves to make the choice to connect to our essence and trust ourselves and our children that it will be alright to let go.
I believe that turning the spotlight onto ourselves is the most positive way to bring about change. We cannot really change someone else. Trying to "fix" our child, implies that they are broken. I do not believe any child is broken. Their "controlling" behaviour is simply their means of communication which is reflective of our behaviour. By "fixing" ourselves and our response to them, we can have a far bigger and more positive impact on our children's behaviour.
We have to take responsibility for our part to play and be curious as to how we might in fact be impacting our children's behaviour.
There is hardly a parent out there who doesn't struggle with this. You are not alone. I struggle with it. We all do. I think we would be lying if we didn't. Whatever the age and stage of your child, toddler to teen it's never too late to start letting go of unhealthy controlling patterns with your them and take control of yourself.
Is it worth it. Every time.
Letting go is so liberating. Taking control of yourself and releasing and relinquishing un-healthy control is one of THE most powerful feelings in the world and I encourage you to try it.

Head and Neck Cancers – are you at risk?
While the risks linked to tobacco and alcohol use are well known, many people are unaware of the link between Head and Neck cancers and Human Papillomavirus infection. How much do you know about these cancers? And, could you be at risk?
Three very common habits could be putting you at particular risk of a group of cancers called Head and Neck cancers (HNC). Identifying them early can save you from extended bouts of treatment and severe facial disfigurement.
9 top tips for healthy living – it's in your hands!
Cancers occur as a result of abnormal and uncontrolled growth in your body's cells. A combination of lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors can ultimately cause these cellular changes. And reducing your risk is, to a great extent, in your hands.
Modern living tends to pull us away from the state of balance between stress and calm, that is required for our bodies to operate efficiently and maintain our good health. Here's how you can effectively manage your stress and reclaim your state of wellbeing.
The World Cancer Research Fund maintains that almost one third of cancers can be prevented through diet, weight management and physical activity. That means your lifestyle choices are key to lowering your cancer risk.
How does smoking up your cancer risk?
Tobacco-use is the single-most avoidable risk factor for cancer. The good news is that your lungs start recovering as soon as you kick the habit. Yet, tobacco-related diseases kill over 44 000 South Africans and 6 million people worldwide every year.
By regularly checking for changes in freckles and moles you can spot any signs of skin cancer early. The sooner skin cancer is detected the greater your chances of successful treatment. Do a monthly skin self-exam.
According to the Australian Cancer Council almost all skin cancers - approximately 99% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 95% of melanomas - are caused by too much UV radiation from the sun, sun beds and sun lamps.
There's so much misinformation out there about cancer and cancer prevention that it's easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to making healthy lifestyle choices. We've separated the facts from fiction here to assist with your risk-reducing decisions.
It's pretty daunting standing in the sunscreen aisle looking at the bewildering array of options, all with different SPFs, ingredients and promises of protection. The good news is the answers are here as we've got all your sunscreen questions covered.
While some cancers aren't preventable, certain factors may increase your risk of developing the disease. Knowing these factors can help you to make wise lifestyle choices that boost your health and protect against illness.

Make sure your JSON file is valid.  You can check it on JSONLint.  Here's how the dependencies section should look.  Notice the surrounding object brackets.
{ "dependencies" :
  { "foo" : "1.0.0 - 2.9999.9999"
  , "bar" : ">=1.0.2 <2.1.2"
  , "baz" : ">1.0.2 <=2.3.4"
  , "boo" : "2.0.1"
  , "qux" : "<1.0.0 || >=2.3.1 <2.4.5 || >=2.5.2 <3.0.0"
  , "asd" : "http://asdf.com/asdf.tar.gz"
  , "til" : "~1.2"
  , "elf" : "~1.2.3"
  , "two" : "2.x"
  , "thr" : "3.3.x"
  , "lat" : "latest"
  , "dyl" : "file:../dyl"
  }
}

See this writeup about the "dependencies" section of NPM's documentation, and make sure your section of package.json looks similar, particularly any characters coming before "dependencies".

Downtown's Harleston Village — bordered by Calhoun, Broad and King Streets and the Ashley River — is one of Charleston's oldest neighborhoods. The land was granted to John Coming and Henry Hughes in 1671-1672. John was first mate on the Carolina, one of the first ships to bring settlers to the colony. Upon Coming's death, the property passed to his wife's nephew, John Harleston. The Harleston family was active in colonial government, and the subsequent neighborhood inherited this surname. The village was developed for residential and other uses by 1770. Its streets were named after prominent men of the day, including Beaufain, Bull, Gadsden, Montagu, Pitt and Rutledge. Tidal marshes along the Ashley River powered numerous lumber mills that dotted the area until the arrival of steam power in the 1880s. Housing also continued to populate the neighborhood throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
Harleston Village is the home to several historic "firsts." The College of Charleston was established in 1770, the same year as the neighborhood. The CofC is the oldest educational institution in the state, and indeed the oldest south of Virginia. It was also the nation's first municipal college. The first golf club in America, c. 1786, played in Harleston Village. The golf course is likely the origin of the appellation "Harleston Green," which is another common name for the neighborhood.
At the heart of Harleston Village is Colonial Lake Park. Its origins date back to 1768, when an Act of the Commons House of Assembly set aside land for a park that would always remain for public use. It was known as the Colonial Commons. By 1869, what became known as the Rutledge Street Pond was completed. For decades, small boats were allowed on the water. In 1881, it was renamed Colonial Lake after the old Colonial Commons, and that name remains today. In the early 1880s, a landscaped promenade was built around the lake. The grounds have been continually improved, with the most recent overhaul having just been completed in 2016. Today, the picturesque park is surrounded by grand old homes and attracts families, dog walkers, joggers and visitors alike. Across Ashley Avenue is Moultrie Playground, which also has tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field and picnic areas. These facilities make the area popular with families, outdoor enthusiasts, and fitness buffs alike.
Another popular public space in Harleston Village is Cannon Park, which houses the columns of the old Charleston Museum, which burned down in 1981. But that site is not the only place where you might experience the ghosts of Charleston past in Harleston Village. Another square that was reserved for public use in 1680 became the site of a hospital, poor house, runaway slave workhouse and eventually the Old Charleston Jail – reputed to be one of Charleston's most haunted places. Most recently used by the American College of the Building Arts, the structure is now under consideration for renovation into office space that will also allow for tours of the site.

Mortgage Rates – Should You Buy A New Home Now?


He may not wear a costume to conceal his identity, nor is he apt to lasso criminals through mere mind control. However, he can solve complex puzzles in the blink of an eye and use his abilities to build computers. His name is Torin Tashima, and at times, his abilities supersede that of any ordinary superhero. That's why his dad crafted a fictional superhero, a teenage boy who fights bullies and embarks on fantastic adventures, and modeled it after him. The fact that both boys are on the autism spectrum only adds to the intrigue.
It didn't take much convincing, hints dad Brian Tashima of Vancouver, Washington, to write a young adult science fiction book series, The Spectraland Saga. In fact, it just took Torin asking. While devouring stories like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games, 12-year-old Torin made a special request—write a book for him. Brian more than delivered.
In 2012, he published the first book in the series, Secret of the Songshell. In 2016, the second book, Mystery of the Moonfire, arrives. Both novels star 16-year-old Joel Suzuki, a boy whose Asperger's disorder is his superpower. In other words, he saves the day because of his autism, not in spite of it.
Wanting to pen a story that is enjoyable for adolescents to read while also offering a glimpse into the mind of someone on the autism spectrum, Brian began this seven-part trilogy. He hopes that the positives exhibited in the protagonist will help others recognize the positives in autism.
Additionally, he wants people to see the diversity apparent in people diagnosed as being on the spectrum. Drawing a comparison between the light waves of a rainbow and the autism spectrum, each book is formed on a color of the rainbow. As the series progresses, the story's tone grows more solemn and dark.
While this series isn't the only one to feature a character with autism, it is an important one. What other books have you read related to autism? Share your favorites with us.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor practicing in the state of Texas. I have 21 years of experience working with a variety of clients in both inpatient psychiatric and outpatient community mental health settings. I've worked with adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of issues related to substance abuse, depression, anxiety, mood swings, relationship problems, grief/loss, and physical and emotional trauma.
I believe in holistic treatment, considering the cognitive, emotional, physical, and relational needs of each unique individual. My therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and person-centered, focusing on recognizing behaviors and triggers and creating positive coping skills. My counseling style is sensitive, compassionate, and non-judgmental.
Seeking help is a courageous step in the healing process. My hope is to help guide you through your journey of self-empowerment, positive change, acquiring hope, and leading a more fulfilled life.
She is very good and has been there as a support pillar for me. I appreciate all the help she has given.
Kristen has consistently done her best to help me out. I appreciate her patience.
Kristen is very supportive and always respond within hours of my messages. Also, she is more flexible with scheduling than the app! I highly recommend her.
Kristen is amazing. She makes me feel heard and supported. I often leave our sessions feeling more hopeful than I did at the start. Since starting therapy with Kristen I have gained a lot of clarity in what affects me mentally. I've learned better coping skills, and she has helped me to learn how to think through situations fully and not just take them at face value.
She is a wonderful listener and a great empathized. I truly had a connection - I felt understood and not alone for the first time in awhile. And this was my first session with her! She listens but also offers direction. I feel that Kristen truly cares.
Kristen is responsive and a great listener, it helps to have her there as a sounding board. She encourages anytime messaging and our weekly visits are helpful to me during tough times. I appreciate what she does and I'm glad this service is available.
Kristen was a big help in a time of need! She is so genuine and helpful! It was a blessing to talk to her.
Kristen is amazing! She listens and responds quickly. She's honest and forthright. I have several things I want to work on and Kristen is very good at helping me prioritize and work through each item. She is the best part of my week or day. She is always there when I need her...I love that I can send her an email when my day is rough and she can respond, instead of having to wait like in traditional therapy.
My experience with Kristen has been a very positive one. She is empathetic but constructive in her questions and goal setting. Counseling is a process, it can negatively burden the individual if not guided properly. Kristen handles this process genuinely and professionally, allowing a constructive picture to blossom. It's been a fantastic counseling process, that has helped me very much.
After being unsatisfied with a previous counselor on this site, I was matched with Kristen and I'm so thankful that I was! I feel like she genuinely wants to help me and that she puts a lot of thought into her responses.

The term "Carden-Loyd tankette" actually refers to a series of vehicles which were developed in the inter-war years. The Mark VI was the most successful, being built under licence in many countries.
In 1925, Carden-Loyd Tractors Ltd, a company owned by Sir John Carden and Vivian Loyd, created the Carden-Loyd One-Man Tankette. The idea was developed, and from the Mark IV onwards, became a two-man vehicle. The vehicles showed enough promise that Vickers bought Carden-Loyd Tractors in 1928. The Mark VI tankette became a great success, with over 300 seeing service in the British army, and more sold abroad. In the British army, the tankette saw service primarily as a machine gun carrier, but it was also used as a light gun tractor and mortar carrier.
It later formed the basis of the British Universal Carrier. Several other countries used it as a basis for development of their own tankette designs. Five Dutch Carden-Loyd tankettes saw action in Crete, fighting German paratroopers in May 1940.

WEEK-IN-BRIEF: BHP demerger plans; Glencore results; aluminium rally; Russian trade; and much more
It was a big week for major miners, with BHP Billiton flagging up its demerger plans, and others releasing their financial results. Here, Metal Bulletin Deputy Editor Fleur Ritzema takes a look back at some of the key stories from the week.
CopperBase metals
BHP ceo Andrew Mackenzie said he wants the core group to focus on the large-scale, big-tonnage businesses – or what he called the "exceptionally large resource basins". That means Pilbara iron ore, copper, and most of the coal assets including the 85% stake in Queensland Coal, plus petroleum and potash.
So what does this mean for aluminium, manganese, nickel, among others? Here's a breakdown of the plans.
And if you're interested in getting equity exposure to aluminium, there's a new opportunity to do so, writes Andrea Hotter.
News of the demerger slightly overshadowed BHP's financial results, which showed that underlying earnings rose 7% in the year to June 30. Click here for more on this.
Glencore, meanwhile, revealed it has already returned more than its initial public offering proceeds to its shareholders.
It saw underlying earnings rise 8% in the half year to June 30 2014, thanks largely to the contribution from its growing copper business.
The markets took notice when ceo Ivan Glasenberg said nickel and zinc prices will be lifted by supply growth decline, and eventually by a likely fall in supply in absolute terms.
Copper miner Kazakhmys, meanwhile, recorded a net income of $50 million in the first half of 2014, thanks to the disposal of non-core assets.
And in very sad news, the world of copper laid to rest one of its most loved traders, Barry Feldman, following his death on Friday August 15. In this obituary, Metal Bulletin takes a look at his achievements.
On the LME, traders and brokers were looking for signs of producer hedging and production restarts in the aluminium market after a price rally of nearly 20% over the past three months.
Aluminium prices rose to their highest level since February 2013 on the London Metal Exchange, and were retesting those highs again on Friday August 22.
UC Rusal's initial aluminium premium offers to Japanese buyers were 13-15% higher than the current-quarter premiums. Market participants argued the hike was too high. All eyes will be on other sellers, especially Rio Tinto, next week.
And Qingdao Port has been sued by Glencore's warehousing division over undelivered aluminium, and named as a party in a lawsuit brought by ABN Amro.
Political unrest, meanwhile, continued to weigh on markets. Tension between Russia and the rest of the world has been impeding trade in some metal markets.
And Chinese selenium traders may not be able to see profits in the minor metal's trading but they certainly haven't lost the knack for making money.
And finally, in China, the 110th anniversary of the birth of the country's former leader Deng Xiaoping has been marked by a wave of official commentary and commemoration. Metal Bulletin's Asia Editor looks at his legacy for commodities markets in Comrade Xiaoping, author of the supercycle.

My feet wandered back into the area of old Millbrook this weekend, and I expect they will tread that way again soon, and hopefully for years to come. This region, like the Pine Barrens in the Southern part of the state, completely fascinates me, and for the same reason. For such a small state New Jersey must be unique in having two such areas of restored wilderness. I say restored because in both the Pine Barrens, which make up much of the Southeastern corner, and the Highlands, which take up the Northwestern, civilization once thrived. Agriculture, mining, lumbering, manufacturing, transportation; every major enterprise of eighteenth and nineteenth century America was engaged in on these Northern slopes, and those Southern plains. Today there are, for the most part, just the woods, the hills, the sandy trails and woodland tracks that were once arteries, and the little dots on old maps that mark the towns.
What happened? In the South the economics on which people inhabited what are, after all, called "Barrens" simply ceased to make sense. Over time people left, and forest fires claimed what remained behind them. In the North the government heaved everyone off and claimed the land for the National Park Service, indirectly at least. In the 1960's there was a plan to construct a huge dam across the Delaware at Tocks Island, for what seemed then, and to some seem now, to be good and sufficient reasons. Eminent domain was brought to bear, and families left the land who had lived on it for two centuries or more. Due to opposition the dam was never built, but the damage was done just the same, and so the land that had been taken became the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Today, beyond a few preserved structures, little remains save for some remnants here and there, and the roads that are now trails.
In the composite image above the picture on the left is an aerial taken in 1930. That on the right is a current satellite view. The difference is truly impressive. In 1930 there were neat fields and clusters of dwellings and farm buildings. Rocks that had been cleared off the hillsides at great expense in time and labor were pushed into massive stone walls hundreds of yards long. Today the stone walls are there, running through a 50 year-old forest, and here and there are cellar holes and bits of structures. I climbed up from Millbrook on the Orchard Trail, a road that appears on old topographical maps, and connects the Old Mine Road at Millbrook with Ridge Road. My object was to visit several sites that I had determined use to be farmsteads or dwellings, to see what might remain. As I headed uphill it was easy to see the road that had been here before the hiker's path. Like all of them up here it is lined in most places by the rocks that had to be pushed out of the way to allow horses and wagons to move safely.
Though they call it the Orchard Trail I did not see the remains of an orchard, which is not to say those remains aren't there. An orchard would not have been an unusual thing to find up in the hills, and you can see regular plantings of trees in many of the old aerials of this part of the state. I stopped first at the site depicted in the aerial image above. As that picture shows there were at least two or three significant structures, with the road running through the middle of the cluster. Today there is a rough, overgrown clearing, lengths of rusty pipe, broken glass and fragments of pottery, stones pushed into a crude rectangle surrounding what may be a cellar hole, a concrete drainage pit, and little else. A fleeting sense of melancholy was heightened by my discovery of the rusty frame of a baby carriage leaning against a tree. On an 1874 map of Pahaquarry township this place was the farm of a J. O. Stickles. Jacob O. Stickles of Millbrook is listed as an heir and next of kin of Zachariah M. Stickles of Stillwater in a probate petition filed April 23rd, 1879. There are plenty of Stickles remaining in Newton, Belvidere, Columbia, and other places, though the farm is just a field now.
Near the top of the hill Orchard Trail connects with Ridge Road, formerly a primary artery along the backbone of the mountain for farmers trundling their grain to Millbrook or Flatbrookville to be milled. It is still paved in sections, though in others it is nearly moss-covered. I headed south, looking for several structures depicted on old maps, and one long-forgotten road that appears on no map I have seen. It was a fine day, but although I had seen a few other people near Millbrook, I saw no hikers on Ridge Road. The sites I wanted were all off the road, and the land long overgrown. I pushed my way through thick brush and tightly packed pines. The ticks were beyond abundant, and I often had to knock ten or twenty from my pants when I passed through a tight place. The first two sites yielded little beyond some rusted junk and heaps of rotted shingles.
The photographs you posted clearly depict a lime kiln—a ubiquitious artifact of Warren County's agrarian past. Lime burners called the hole at the bottom the eye and constructed the kiln with a grate installed just above the eye. Workers would charge the kiln from the top with successive layers of limestone and charcoal or, in later years, mined coal from Pennsylvania, and then light the kiln off with kindling shoved in the eye and below the grate. The Highlands in Warren County and other counties contain an abundance of limestone formations. The process of charging, burning, cooling, and collecting the processed lime required about a week. The resultant slaked lime could be use in agriculture for sweetening the soil or, if ground in a plaster mill, applied to lath for constructing plaster walls.
Retracing my steps back uphill I rejoined the original trail and continued south, and was almost immediately rewarded. The trail dipped West around a small hill and suddenly the old road lay stretched out in front of me, soft green light slanting through the leaves, heaps of boulders lining the sides, vines draped across the branches that sheltered it like the roof of a tunnel. The forest was so silent I could hear the moss crackling under my feet as I walked south. A few hundred yards along the road turned West again briefly and opened into a clearing, where it promptly disappeared. I followed the clearing to the south and began to see evidence of cellar holes, rusted cans, and other remains of human habitation. Pushing through a line of scrub growth to the East I stepped into a second clearing. On the far edge of it an old utility pole stood. Wires draped from it ran off into the woods to the south.
This power line had to have come up the route of the old road I had just been following, and that I had lost in the clearing. Presumably it used to run straight along the East side of where the structures were located, and over the years had been erased by the forest. As I came closer to the pole I noticed that the line ended here. The wires came in from another pole down the old track a bit, and then ran down the pole in a wooden conduit into the ground. If you cared to dig down and follow that line it would no doubt end in a cellar hole nearby. Once this place was the farm of a J. H. Morris. Down the road a piece were his neighbors the Depues, and not so far beyond them, in the middle of the river, is Depue Island. At the end of the road the old maps say there was in 1874 an abandoned schoolhouse. Some day I will walk down there and see if anything remains of it.
I would have liked to keep on down the old road, for I could see now that it continued along the line of the power poles. It was growing late, and I had a good hour to get back to the truck. Rather than retrace my steps back up the unnamed road to Ridge Road I decided to rejoin that partially paved track by heading directly uphill. Fifteen minutes or so later I found it, but a clearing to the south drew my attention away from the route home. A quick detour would not hurt. It proved to be a line of modern transmission towers running east to west from somewhere in northern New Jersey to Pennsylvania. Looking up the line from the middle of the clear zone I could see the towers march up the ridge to Millbrook Road nearly a mile away. Then I spotted something just to the right of the nearest tower.
It was another of the old wooden poles, this one with its wires hanging down where they had been cut, probably when the power company cleared the land for the transmission line. It was certainly one of the same line that ran up the old road I had been scouting, to the site of the Morris farm. It wasn't needed any more, so they just cut the wires and let them hang there. I tried to find its opposite number on the north side of the corridor, but had no luck. Perhaps the utility construction crews removed that one. Again I was tempted to try and find that line of poles and follow them back up to the Morris place, but I really did have to go. On my way back along Ridge Road northward to Orchard Trail I saw a few more collections of rusty implements, the improbably bright anchor bolt and guy wire of some long-gone tower, a boundary marker, and what remains of a shallow limestone quarry.
There are in a few places along the roads of Pahaquarry a preserved farmhouse or two, with some barns and outbuildings. But there are far more clearings straddling what are now hiker's paths, but which used to be roads with names that went places that were important to the people who traveled them. In the clearings are the regular shadows of foundations and cellars, and here and there tucked into a hollow by some stones, a bottle, or a saw blade, or the remains of a pram. West of the Stickles farm the town of Millbrook is a museum and Potemkin village of sorts. North on Ridge Road are the remains of Flatbrookville and the old Pocano-Ramona campground. Further north the field that used to be the home of Wallpack Center's airport is just a field. Not even a shadow of the runway remains. The Tocks Island Dam was never built, but it might as well have been built, and filled, and then blasted away to let the flood wash down the valley of the Delaware, removing nearly every trace of the farmers who cleared these hills and piled up the stones in long lines. Pahaquarry is a park now, but once it was the heart of colonial America.

Q: Cannot replace values in factor level variable I found the text of certain cell entries in my dataframe to be garbled and would like to replace them with string, but R returns the following message

#load data from dropbox
library(foreign)
data <- read.csv("https://www.dropbox.com/s/anm8xrovxc5xtr5/comtrade2009.csv?dl=1")
unique(data$ptTitle)[75]
[1] <NA>
#this is not an NA because the text on the CSV file appears to be some garbled string due to encoding,
#it shows "C<U+00F4>te d'Ivoire"

data$ptTitle[data$ptTitle == <NA>] <- "Cote d'Ivoire"
Warning message:
In `[<-.factor`(`*tmp*`, ct2009$ptTitle == "<NA>", value = c(238L,  :
  invalid factor level, NA generated

it does not allow me to replace those garbled character values with character string, does anyone know how to overwrite those garbled characters with my preferred character string?
Update
So I guess a better way to work around this is to add stringsAsFactors=F when loading csv file using read.csv, so it's much easier to replace cell values with NA (instead of <NA>).
Sorry for all the hassles this thread might have caused.

AIMPidk – Ants in my Pants!
These are two videos from my YouTube channel. Please subscribe to mu channel and hit the bell icon too.
Welcome! I assume you would really like to learn the art of "Irritating"( And yeah, everything's an art nowadays). Let's define irritation. In some cases, it is discomfort. Like an ant's sting. The way it causes itches.etc. But in most cases, the definition changes to vexing and making people angry.
First things first. It's better not to irritate strangers, because you don't know anything about them. If you really want to irritate someone, it's better to do it with your friends as you most probably know a good deal about them.
So, now let's get ready.
Friends:You mostly have a lot of friends. You also mostly know their interests in music, movies, etc. For this you also would need to learn audio and video editing. It's pretty simple. All you have to do is select your friend's favorite song/movie and edit it. When it comes to music always make sure that the pitch is at the lowest at the beginning and highest towards the end. For the movies, movies take a small bit out of it( always make sure it's his/her favorite ). Make sure everybody's head is replaced with head of llama or a giant otter or the head of a naked mole. Make sure that everybody's voice sounds like Justin Bieber's. Record his reaction and upload it on a social media platform titled "What happens when plants start consuming alcohol.
Corrector Mom: Yo mos'ly no wat I'm talkin' about. Select a rap song and set it as her phone's ringtone. If you are not good at English, show her your answer sheet. Show her a story written in the Chatting Language. That's enough to make her read the Yellow pages. Really, believe me.
Strangers: You can do this to any stranger. All you have to do follow a person and keep shouting "THIS GUY HERE IS THE WANTED PERSON SHOWN ON THE POLICE'S NOTICE BOARD!". You might as well end up in the jail. Don't be surprised if he is really the wanted guy.
Teacher: Well, it's pretty easy to irritate a teacher. There a ton of things you can do. You select an apple with a maggot in it and present it to a teacher. Pretend as though are asleep in the middle of the music class (if the class is learning a loud song, it is the most preferable time). Read your Science textbook in the middle of the English period. You can even shout, "THIS IS SPARTA!!" loud enough for all the other class mates to hear you. The most silent time of the class is the most preferable time. You can bring a frog and release it in the middle of the English period. You can take your Walkman or iPod and your headphones. Well, you get my point.
Most people think that irritating is, well, BAD! They really have a boring sense of humor.


Walking downtown on the evening of April 5th, I noticed hundreds of tents being set up around Lake Eola. At the South East Entrance I decided to sit and sketch. The next day this spot would be bustling as part of the Spring Fiesta in the Park which is an Arts and Crafts Festival. Once in a while people would stop to read the posted events on the directional compass totem pole. The ATM was ready to dispense cash for impulse buys. These sort of outdoor festivals seem to flourish in Central Florida maybe because it is warm year round.
A couple arrived with merchandise stacked up in a little red wagon. They set up a table in the tent and over multiple trips with the red wagon they moved their wares. I couldn't make out what they were unpacking from this distance. I didn't notice any police in the time it took me to sketch, but if all the tents were full of crafts, there must have been police there. The Best in Show Award went to Jeff Nelson for his inlaid wood furniture. The next Fiesta is November 2nd and 3rd.

Los Angeles incarcerates more people than any other city in the United States, which imprisons more people than any other nation on Earth. This book explains how the City of Angels became the capital city of the world's leading incarcerator. Marshaling more than two centuries of evidence, historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez unmasks how histories of native elimination, immigrant exclusion, and black disappearance drove the rise of incarceration in Los Angeles. In this telling, which spans from the Spanish colonial era to the outbreak of the 1965 Watts Rebellion, Hernandez documents the persistent historical bond between the racial fantasies of conquest, namely its settler colonial form, and the eliminatory capacities of incarceration. But City of Inmates is also a chronicle of resilience and rebellion, documenting how targeted peoples and communities have always fought back. They busted out of jail, forced Supreme Court rulings, advanced revolution across bars and borders, and, as in the summer of 1965, set fire to the belly of the city. With these acts those who fought the rise of incarceration in Los Angeles altered the course of history in the city, the borderlands, and beyond. This book recounts how the dynamics of conquest met deep reservoirs of rebellion as Los Angeles became the City of Inmates, the nation's carceral core. It is a story that is far from over.
This volume considers the interconnection of racial oppression in the U.S. South and West, presenting thirteen case studies that explore the ways in which citizens and migrants alike have been caged, detained, deported, and incarcerated, and what these practices tell us about state building, converging and coercive legal powers, and national sovereignty. As these studies depict the institutional development and state scaffolding of overlapping carceral regimes, they also consider how prisoners and immigrants resisted such oppression and violence by drawing on the transnational politics of human rights and liberation, transcending the isolation of incarceration, detention, deportation and the boundaries of domestic law. Contributors: Dan Berger, Ethan Blue, George T. Diaz, David Hernandez, Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Pippa Holloway, Volker Janssen, Talitha L. LeFlouria, Heather McCarty, Douglas K. Miller, Vivien Miller, Donna Murch, and Keramet Ann Reiter.
In Violence Work Micol Seigel offers a new theorization of the quintessential incarnation of state power: the police. Foregrounding the interdependence of policing, the state, and global capital, Seigel redefines policing as "violence work," showing how it is shaped by its role of channeling state violence. She traces this dynamic by examining the formation, demise, and aftermath of the U.S. State Department's Office of Public Safety (OPS), which between 1962 and 1974 specialized in training police forces internationally. Officially a civilian agency, the OPS grew and operated in military and counterinsurgency realms in ways that transgressed the borders that are meant to contain the police within civilian, public, and local spheres. Tracing the career paths of OPS agents after their agency closed, Seigel shows how police practices writ large are rooted in violence—especially against people of color, the poor, and working people—and how understanding police as a civilian, public, and local institution legitimizes state violence while preserving the myth of state benevolence.
When the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts erupted in violent protest in August 1965, the uprising drew strength from decades of pent-up frustration with employment discrimination, residential segregation, and poverty. But the more immediate grievance was anger at the racist and abusive practices of the Los Angeles Police Department. Yet in the decades after Watts, the LAPD resisted all but the most limited demands for reform made by activists and residents of color, instead intensifying its power. In Policing Los Angeles, Max Felker-Kantor narrates the dynamic history of policing, anti-police abuse movements, race, and politics in Los Angeles from the 1965 Watts uprising to the 1992 Los Angeles rebellion. Using the explosions of two large-scale uprisings in Los Angeles as bookends, Felker-Kantor highlights the racism at the heart of the city's expansive police power through a range of previously unused and rare archival sources. His book is a gripping and timely account of the transformation in police power, the convergence of interests in support of law and order policies, and African American and Mexican American resistance to police violence after the Watts uprising.
In the American imagination, no figure is more central to national identity and the nation's origin story than the cowboy. Yet the Americans and Europeans who settled the U.S. West learned virtually everything they knew about ranching from the indigenous and Mexican horsemen who already inhabited the region. The charro—a skilled, elite, and landowning horseman—was an especially powerful symbol of Mexican masculinity and nationalism. After the 1930s, Mexican Americans in cities across the U.S. West embraced the figure as a way to challenge their segregation, exploitation, and marginalization from core narratives of American identity. In this definitive history, Laura R. Barraclough shows how Mexican Americans have used the charro in the service of civil rights, cultural citizenship, and place-making. Focusing on a range of U.S. cities, Charros traces the evolution of the "original cowboy" through mixed triumphs and hostile backlashes, revealing him to be a crucial agent in the production of U.S., Mexican, and border cultures, as well as a guiding force for Mexican American identity and social movements.
