FEATURE-As wild weather brings more migration, Pacific islands look for ways to cope

"We want movement in a controlled way, rather than in a panic" says director-general of Fiji Red Cross
BONN, Germany, Nov 13 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When Cyclone Winston smashed into Fiji last year, killing 44 people and destroying more than a dozen villages, people who found themselves without homes got on boats.
Many headed to Suva, Fiji's capital, where they moved in with relatives – in some cases relatives they'd been helping pay the rent, with income from the farms and businesses now lost to the storm, said Filipe Nainoca, the director-general of the Fiji Red Cross.
At first things went well. But in time the strain that often accompanies long-staying houseguests – including growing financial strain – set in, Nainoca remembers.
"You stay for one month, it's okay. Two months is difficult. Three months becomes a burden," he said. "Who feeds who? Who pays the electricity?"
As climate change brings wilder weather, countries around the world are dealing with a growing stream of temporary – or sometimes permanent – migrants fleeing damaged homes, lost crops, and lost jobs.
In hurricane-hit Puerto Rico, thousands of people have moved to Miami this year, looking for work, housing and a reliable power supply as their houses sit dark and damaged at home. In Texas, more than 30,000 people were driven at least temporarily from their homes by Hurricane Harvey.
In the Pacific islands, the number of people moving within their own countries to flee worsening storms, sea level rise and other climate-related crises is still relatively small. But as it grows, the countries are grappling with a range of new and thorny issues.
Fiji, for instance, has now relocated three villages threatened by sea level rise, said Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, the country's attorney general, in an interview with the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the sidelines of the U.N. climate talks in Bonn.
In one case, in Vunidogoloa, on the island of Vanua Levu, that involved disinterring the graves of ancestors to move them inland with their families, he said.
Such moves are a challenge in a nation where more than 90 percent of land is communally owned and cannot be sold. Communities seeking to relocate try to move within the boundaries of their own community's land, but if that cannot happen leases need to be negotiated, said Sayed-Khaiyum, who is also Fiji's economic minister.
Coastal villagers – many of them fishermen - forced to move inland to higher ground also face big cultural changes. "The whole lifestyle is different. The income is different," he said.
Fiji's government has realised, he said, that as more villages are likely to need relocation – because of water shortages, inundation from the sea and other problems – it needs to come up with guidelines and frameworks to manage the process, to save time and money and avoid mistakes.
"If we had to relocate 40 villages it would be good to have a template approach to it, in terms of livelihoods and the structures of buildings," the minister said.
To help manage growing climate risks, Fiji is now one of the few countries in the world where the climate change ministry sits within the country's economic ministry, to ensure that climate change is taken into account in major budget and financial decisions, he said.
"We want a more coordinated approach to it among ministries," he said – particularly with Cyclone Winston alone having cost the island $1.4 billion in damage, or about a third of its GDP.
Nainoca, of the Red Cross, said one of the problems driving more displacement is how many more homes are being destroyed in villages as storms grow stronger.
"We are used to cyclones in Fiji," he said. "But the cyclones coming now are so devastating that the proportion of houses remaining is changing. It might be 20 destroyed in a 60-house community before. Now it's 20 left standing."
That means "those left are unable to cope. People have to move", he said.
Following Cyclone Winston, about 80 percent of people whose villages were entirely destroyed eventually returned home to rebuild. But about 20 percent have remained in Suva – perhaps an indication of things to come, Nainoca said.
Efforts to prepare for migrants – temporary or permanent – in the capital and other potential host communities remains inadequate, he said. Such preparations need to be not just physical – things like housing and school places - but psychological as well, he said.
Among families who had lost their villages to Cyclone Winston, many people – particularly children – showed signs of trauma, he said.
In schools, "as soon as they heard the wind blowing, kids would shake where they were sitting", he remembers. The Red Cross ended up seeking training on providing psychological counseling for its volunteers working with cyclone victims.
Coping effectively with worsening wild weather and migration in the islands, he said, will require helping not just potential migrants but those who will have to adjust to hosting them.
"We want movement in a controlled way, rather than in a panic," he said.
"Mobility is going to be a serious issue in the islands," he warned. "And Fiji is one of the strongest economies in the Pacific. It's going to be 10 times harder in the smaller economies in the Pacific."

November 2012 – Decided to start trying to have babies!
December 2012 – Most of the month was spent staring at computer screens filled with profiles, medical histories, and baby pictures of little Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Colombian, Guatemalan, Mexican, Spanish, Brazilian donors.
January 2013 – Made our first appointment at the fertility clinic with our amazing Reproductive Endocrinologist. Hysterosonogram and Hysterosalpingogram show everything is good! Started our first Clomid cycle on 1/23/13. Cycle #1 is under way.
February 2013 -We're ready for insem! Ovidrel on 2/3/13 @ 9pm. Insemination on 2/5/13 bright and early. On 2/18/13 we're seeing red, literally. BFN! Back to the drawing board! Another Clomid Cycle starting.
March 2013 – 3/2/13, we are on vacation with friends in the Poconos, PA. We get up at 5am after a night of playing board games and talking crap, and drive the 2 hours back to NYC for an insemination. Trigger shot in front of very curious friends the morning before. 3/14/13 Aunt Flow shows up, even though all signs and symptoms point to pregnancy. Cycle #2 is another bust!
April 2013 – Clomid cycle #3. Insemination on 4/1 after Ovidrel trigger on 3/30 @10pm. 4/10/13 The red headed devil (Not Callie, btw) shows up screaming 3 days early. Cycle #3 is down the drain.
May 2013 – New Donor, New Medication. Hello Letrozole! Cycle #4. Many more mature eggs! Fingers crossed, and hoping hard. Insemination on 5/5/13 after trigger shot. 5/22/13 the crimson wave washes away our hopes and dreams. Dr. K asks what we want to do next. We decided on one more cycle before taking the summer off.
June 2013 – 6/7/13 early morning, we triggered one last time before reevaluating our plan (and finances) and head over to the clinic for an insemination on 6/8/13 noonish. Hoping for a BFP on my birthday 6/21, but instead "Shark Week" is a few months early! We take time off to regroup. Cycle #5 is awash!
July 2013 – I start a new job on 7/17/13 with AMAZING benefits. Domestic Partnership benefits cover up to $50,000 of infertility benefits. FREAKING SWEET! 7/25/13 Callie and I become registered Domestic Partners in the state of NY. Let the 6 month qualification period begin! This month, we take a break.
August 2013 – Continuation of a much needed break. Find the "Known Donor Registry" website. We begin correspondence with several potential donors. After assessing our bank accounts, our funds are running low and we gots no dividends for continued cycles. We narrow down from 6 to 2, and from 2 to 1, after a 15 minutes encounter at Dunkin's turns into a 3 hour " I'm so glad we're getting to know each other, my gut says this is it, you're so funny, you and Sammie are so similar" affair. We set up appointments for medical stuff, and discuss insemination for the next few months until medical insurance kicks in for Callie.
September 2013 – Our first at home cycle with our known donor. Awkward at first, but not so clinical and more intimate for Callie and I. 9/10/13 and 9/11/13 back to back at home insemination's. I did my best to "help" Callie get pregnant. On 9/27/13 Callie is once again dealing with her red headed cousin (she actually has one, but this was not her). We weren't too upset because compared to the $2300 we were paying per cycle (not including medications) the $4.67 some odd cents we paid for a specimen cup and syringe were a definite win! Temping didn't work for us, so just CM checking and "My Days" app. Bye bye Cycle #6.
October 2013 – Not sure of the dates on this cycle, but needless to say, another BFN! Thanks for nothing Cycle #7!
November 2013 – Went to a new RE to get a second opinion. Fresh sperm is usually better than frozen, so 2 fresh sperm AI's and nothing?! Something's gotta be wrong right?! WRONG! All $5,000 later to prove what we already knew…there wasn't a damn thing wrong. Possibly something wrong with the alignment of Callie's hips, but only way to find out would be invasive surgery. Not gonna happen, buddy! Cycle #8 sometime during the blur of this month (holiday shopping, new job with crazy schedule, parties, Callie's grandmother gets L-Vad to keep her heart beating, lots of emotional family stuff) and it ends like all the others.
December 2013 – Getting all of our paperwork ready to get Callie approved on my insurance (Domestic Partnership papers, Lease Agreement, Proof of beneficiary on my 401k and life insurance, things of that nature) and file for her to be added under my benefits. One more at home AI at home with JC (he gave himself that name, not us, which we thought was funny) but not before we had a 45 minute convo before he did his business. But the Christmas spirit skipped our house and no baby JC (see why it's funny!?!?!) to announce at Christmas Breakfast. There goes Cycle #9.
January 2014 – We finally get Callie approved on my insurance. Not before a crapload of crazy insurance company drama, of course. Insurance isn't effective until March 1st. We call our original RE (one of the best in NY and an approved Center of Excellence) and talk about IVF. We get all of the paperwork from our Family Dr., the 2nd opinion Dr, and take it all to our best guy, Dr. K. He tells us the IVF protocol and we wait.
February 2014 – No movement, but we find a new donor that we hadn't seen before, who resembles me in every way possible. This is our 4th donor, but this is the best one, hands down!
March 2014 – We call the insurance company on 3/1/14. They didn't even need a Dr's approval. When she asked us what test we had already, we listed tests she'd never even heard of! We were approved. We called the Dr's office and we started monitoring.
April 2014 – A few more tests. Another PAP exam. Callie starts Birth Control. She takes if for 18 days. She's miserable. Me too.
May 2014 – 5/6/14 we start Folistim injections and menopure. I torture Callie (and also myself!) every day with injections in her abdomen. We also do 2 nights of Ganirelix to keep Callie from ovulating. There are TONS of mature follicles. We are hopeful. 5/13/14 at 3am we wake up to give Callie her injection of Ovidrel. 5/15/14 is egg retrieval day. 17 eggs retrieved, 13 fertilized, 9 make it to blastocysts. Tuesday 5/20/14. We implant our 2 best embryos, cross our fingers and hope for the best! Thursday 5/29/14, as I am going through the drive-thru ATM, I got a phone call. We were officially PREGNANT! 4 weeks!
June 2014 – 6/6/14 We go to our first ultrasound appointment. The doctor confirms that there are 2 implanted embryos. We are in shock, but totally in love (with each other and with our babies). 6/12/14 is our 6 week check-up, and we hear two glorious heart beats. Officially having twins!
October 12th, 2014 – Callie is officially on bed rest.
November 1st, 2014 – These two moms get hitched!
January 10th, 2015 – Callie's water breaks while "nesting" and getting our living room ready for the impending arrival of the twins, over a small disagreement about a three drawer plastic container. She thinks she has peed her pants…for over 1 hour. We call the midwife and doctor and are on our way to the hospital within the next hour. We are told that a c-section is necessary as baby B has gone transverse.
January 11th, 2015 – Noah (born 12:43am) and Levi (born 12:44) are welcomed into the world by two very happy and exhausted Moms.
It's been one hell of a journey so far, but we're happy as our two peas in a pod!
It isn't insensitive at all, so no worries about that! Believe me, I was silently stalking people in the beginning and was getting frsutrated because most people really did get BFP after a short time, and never more than a year. But as i started seeing and reading and finding more blogs, I noticed that we werent the only ones. Girl, it was a struggle! And i'm so sorry to hear about your MC. I can't even begin to image that. My heart goes out to you ladies. This is gonna be a trying time for you, but have faith! It happens! Believe me! Just keep trying, and don't give up! Hopefully the next time will be it!

A Chat with Frank Oz
Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Cookie Monster and of course Yoda are just three of the voices that Frank Oz is famous for creating, but since the days of "The Muppet Show," he's established himself as one of the top comedy directors with movies like In and Out, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Bowfinger.
For the radio dramatizations of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Yoda was voiced by John Lithgow, while Tom Kane voiced him in the Clone Wars animated series and several video games.
ComingSoon.net had a chance to sit down with Oz to talk about the origins of the latest project Death at a Funeral, and a few of the other things he's done.
CS: Your most famous character besides the Muppets is Yoda, which began as a puppeteering job and has now become more of a voice-over gig.
Oz: Just a voice, easy.
CS: How was that transition?
Oz: It was fine. For me, it's easy. I did the first three, I think it was, it was very tough work, very sweaty and hard work, but then George went to CG, which is exactly what he should have done. He could not have done anything else, then I get all the credit and these two dozen people who've worked for a year of their lives at ILM, they don't get any credit at all. And they're the ones who work, I don't.
CS: That's funny because in both cases, George has pushed for you to get a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for the role.
Oz: You know who did that? George. He was the one who pushed and it was very nice of him. I know that George was the one who instigated that and it was very nice of him to do that.
CS: How do you tend to work with him on that? Do you do all of the lines before they animate or do you go in and do some afterwards?
Oz: With CGI? Or as opposed to the puppet? With CGI, and I don't do it anymore, what we used to do is George would give me a script and we'd lay down a scratch track and we'd work with that scratch track for about a year and then they'll come back to me and I'll fly somewhere and loop it and correct the scratch track, and that's pretty much how it is. For me, it's a few hours of work, it's nothing. At the end, for these two dozen people who work their ass off, and they don't get any recognition at all, it's odd.
CS: Do you keep in touch with George, especially now that he's doing his animated TV show, which presumably will include the Yoda character?
Oz: We're very, very friendly, but I haven't talked to George for a long time, but I have no idea. I have no involvement at all with it that I know of.
CS: Do you feel proprietary about the voice and playing the character if there is an opportunity?
Oz: I feel proprietary to the character that's in my heart. I don't feel proprietary. It's just in my heart. The actual Yoda character is owned by George, so he can do what he wants with it and whatever he does is probably not the same as what's in my heart, but nevertheless, it's close.
CS: Hopefully you'll get a chance to reprise the role for the series.
Oz: Well, I don't care. Actually, I think George Lucas did Yoda once years and years ago on a recording. That's what happened, but Yoda is a dear and powerful character, but it's really George's.

The Pan African climate justice alliance (PACJA) is currently in Uganda to explore the possibility of developing a civil society SDGs platform whose objective will be to hold the Ugandan government accountable for the implementation of the SDGs by putting pressure on the government to honour its commitment to the implementation of the Goals.
This will be a first step towards realization of the SDGs in the East African region which has notably reported slow progress in the achievement of these Goals.
This will provide a major boost to the post 2015 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) which intertwine economic, social and environmental aspects to sustainable development. They also feature important additions to the successes of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including climate change, economic inequality, innovation, poverty alleviation, peace and justice.
The mission arises from PACJA's GIZ funded project which aims to accelerate the implementation of SDGs specifically: 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 10 (Reduced Inequality); 13 Climate Action; and 17 (Partnerships to achieve the Goal). The project which is being implemented in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania is aimed at the achievement of agenda 2030 in East Africa.
Specifically, the project will put in place integrated and coordinated interventions at all levels aimed at strengthening cross-sectoral coordination among line ministries and partnerships between key stakeholders, such as community groups, CSOs, NGOs, the private sector, academia, the media and policy makers to ensure coherence between the SDGs implementation and the Paris Agreement.
Using lessons learnt in Kenya in the Voluntary National Reporting process (VNR), the project will support CSOs in Tanzania and Uganda to report on the progress made on the SDGs implementation and champion for 2030 Agenda to be embedded in the countries' national political and social process.
These efforts will collectively contribute to PACJAs efforts in accelerating the implementation of the 17 SDGs which are interconnected. For instance, achievements in Climate Action will impact on availability of Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, Life Below Water, Health, Gender Equality, Sustainable Cities and Communities; and ultimately Forming Partnerships to Achieve the Goal.

Teddy Rocks in Blandford holds battle of the bands for slot on stage
Dorset-based Teddy Rocks Festival is holding a battle of the bands competition to win a place during the up-coming music festival.
Teddy Rocks Festival 2016
A family-friendly fundraising rock event inspired by 10-year-old Ted Newton who lost his fight with a rare bone cancer in 2010, is helping to showcase budding bands during four heats in the run up to the festival in April, with the opportunity for one band to win a slot on stage.
Teddy Rocks Festival (TRF) has recently announced its biggest line-up to date including headliners Twin Atlantic, Modestep and Scouting for Girls.
The battle of the bands heats will take place every Saturday at 6pm for the next four weeks starting on 11 March at Freestyle Music Centre in Poole.
In partnership with Teddy Rocks Festival, Dorset-based company VocalZone will help to judge the heats, with one band securing a place on the line-up.
Ted's brother – festival founder and director – Tom Newton, said: "I've witnessed first-hand how difficult it can be for bands to get their names out there. VocalZone support our passion in giving unsigned bands a chance to show us what they can do.
"We asked bands to submit an application including links so that we could listen to their tracks. We were thrilled to learn that we received more than 150 applications from both local and national bands alike. It's going to be a challenge to choose just one to join us at the festival this year."
Last year TRF raised £42,800 for children's cancer research and to help children and their families undergoing cancer treatment, in any way possible.
Teddy Rocks Festival 2017 takes place from Friday 28 –Sunday 30 April. For further information or to buy tickets visit: http://teddyrocks.co.uk/

Improved Virus Technology Spurs New Gene Therapy Startups
Dimension Therapeutics wants to develop a lifetime fix for hemophilia using gene therapy.
Susan Young Rojahn archive page
On Thursday, another gene therapy startup announced its launch. Dimension Therapeutics hopes to develop virus-delivered gene treatments for rare diseases and its first target is the blood-clotting disorder hemophilia.
The announcement comes just a week after the launch of another gene therapy startup, Spark Therapeutics (see "New Gene Therapy Company Launches"). One reason that the dashed hopes of gene therapy seem to be mending is that researchers have improved the technologies for delivering genetic fixes. Functional copies of genes are carried by modified viruses, or vectors, into the cells of patients who have missing or dysfunctional copies of those genes. Many groups use vectors based on adeno-associated viruses, or AAVs, which live in most of our bodies already to no ill effect.
Dimension has licensed AAV technology from Washington, D.C.,-based Regenx Biosciences, a company founded by gene therapy pioneer James Wilson. Wilson headed the University of Pennsylvania institute that oversaw a gene therapy trial in 1999 that ended with the death of Jesse Gelsinger, an 18-year-old trial volunteer (see "The Glimmering Promise of Gene Therapy"). Gelsinger's death was blamed on an immune reaction to the experimental therapy's viral vector.
That trial used a different kind of virus and since its tragic end, Wilson had searched for better vectors, which he found in AAVs. According to Wired, Wilson's original AAV, AAV1, was the basis for the first gene therapy to be approved in a Western market (see "Gene Therapy on the Mend as Treatment Gets Western Approval"). Spark Therapeutics is also using a type of AAV to deliver its treatments.
Wilson and his team have since discovered and developed hundreds of modified AAVs, which can target different organs in the body but have been stripped of their ability to replicate. Regenx licensed several vectors to Dimension. A release announcing Dimension's launch suggests that it was Regenx technology that inspired confidence from venture capital firm Fidelity Biosciences to fund the new company:
"A core challenge for gene therapy has been the development of safe, efficient vectors to enable delivery of the replacement gene to the correct cells and tissues of the patient to yield benefit," said Fidelity partner and interim CEO of Dimension Thomas Beck. "We believe Regenex [vectors] are the most promising approach for in vivo gene therapy."
An early-stage trial of a Regenx vector carrying the gene missing from certain hemophilia patients showed it could correct the disorder (four of the six trial participants were able to quit taking their prophylactic clotting medication) with few side-effects, reported researchers in 2011. The modified virus vectors can still attract the attention of the immune system, but the medical researchers were able to control the immune reaction with immunosuppressive drugs.
While many gene therapy researchers and companies use AAV technology, there are some exceptions. Bluebird Bio, for instance, uses an attenuated version of an HIV viruses that cannot replicate. Bluebird is recruiting patients for a late-stage trial of a gene therapy for a hereditary form of childhood neurodegeneration.

NY drunk driver crashes rental car avoiding personal Anti-DWI device
Criminal law Justice News Flash by Justice Seeker
Long Island drunk driver rents Enterprise car to avoid court mandated breath test. New York criminal lawyers creating news now.
New York, NY (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–The Associated Press (AP) reported a Long Island convicted drunk driver is in critical condition at Stony Brook University Medical Center after crashing his rental car when he was driving while intoxicated. According to Suffolk County police, Marvin Rice Jr., a 27 year-old man from Shirley specifically rented a car to avoid having to use the court mandated breath analyzer device placed in his own vehicle after a 2005 driving under the influence conviction.
Rice, of 114 Forest Avenue, crashed into a Brentwood telephone pole on Crooked Hill Road at approximately 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning according to Suffolk police investigators, wrecking his rental car. He rented a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta from Enterprise Rent-A-Car which did not have the court required ignition interlock device, which requires drives to a breath analyzer before the vehicle can be started. Rice will be arraigned on April 13 in Central Islip for his current charges by the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office of driving while intoxicated.

Leeds United: Whites close in on Bridcutt deal
Leeds United were closing in on the signing of Liam Bridcutt last night amid growing signs that Sunderland are ready to do a deal to move the midfielder out of the Stadium of Light.

Liam Bridcutt
Leeds and Sunderland have been negotiating a permanent transfer throughout the summer and attempts to bring Bridcutt back to Elland Road after his successful spell on loan last season have been held up by haggling over the termination of his contract in the north east.
Bridcutt has a year left on a deal worth £26,000 a week and Sunderland were keen to avoid bearing the cost of paying up his last 12 months.
Leeds were equally intent on reaching an agreement which fits in with the existing wage structure at Elland Road but sources close to the midfielder have told the YEP that the two sides are on the verge of striking a deal after further discussions this week.

Bridcutt favours a return to Leeds having made 24 league appearances for the club while on loan last season.
The former Brighton midfielder is determined to move on from the Stadium of Light this summer after losing his place in Sunderland's first team.
Bridcutt has not appeared for the Premier League club since the end of the 2014-15 campaign and he was left out of a pre-season tour to France by new manager David Moyes.
Bridcutt's peripheral role at Sunderland has seen him limited to only one Under-21 appearances since the start of pre-season, away at non-league Darlington last month.
United head coach Garry Monk, however, has long seen him as a crucial piece of the puzzle at Elland Road and Leeds are working to push the transfer through before they head to Queens Park Rangers for their first game of the new Championship season.

revelatory trip to Paris caused Cacy Lee to rethink her career as a therapist. She now teaches art to people with disabilities. Cacy was born in Minneapolis, grew up in Seattle, and now calls Portland home.
Thanapolis is an imaginary place where Cacy Lee's connection with death is revisited over and over again.
"Thanapolis is also a state of mind where opposites co-exist along with other possibilities," she said.
"Life and death can be felt at the same time, joy and sorrow are experienced simultaneously, day and night exist in the same place at the same time and the blood of a dying friend is like a river of gold.
"Thanapolis exists because of the need to experience beauty and order in the horrible and chaotic."
The ideas for Cacy's pieces come from dreams, relationships, fleeting interactions, observations and her experience with death.
"Frying Pan Baby" is an image from a dream; "Frisco's Tree" and "Daffodils for Mom" emerged out of the loss of loved ones.
"Death is definitely my strongest influence," she said.
Cacy is also influenced by spiritual ideas, such as Kaballah and Christianity, and by the philosophy of existentialism.
"I'm most often preoccupied with internal stimuli and prefer to wander around in my own little world, gathering up inspiration and influence wherever I find it," she said.
The art of Dali and Frida Kahlo is "odd enough" to appeal to Cacy. She also admires the movement in Van Gogh's work.
Cacy's first collage pieces were made with magazines, construction paper and oil pastel. Her recent 2-D collage pieces use computer images of her own art rather than magazine cutouts.
"I'm just beginning to explore the realm of 3-D," she said. "For these pieces I use recycled wood products, glass, leather, chicken bones and living plants. The idea of using something living and something dead in the same piece of art thrills me."
Cacy has shown her work in Portland at Another Moon Gallery, the Convention Center, various cafés on Hawthorne and at Urban Grind Coffee House.
Her October shows include Caffe Destino on Northeast 14th and Fremont, and a First Thursday artist's reception at Independent Living Resources, 2410 SE 11th Ave., where she'll have a few pieces alongside some of her students' work.
Cacy was the kid who was frequently asked to work on the class projects that required some artistic skill.
"I enjoyed art as a child," she said. "I liked to look at bugs under my microscope and draw all of their amazing little parts. Sometimes I'd crawl into the back of my closet and make 'machines' out of pieces of junk that I'd collected.
"And I will always be grateful to my older sister, Linda, who first taught me that shapes had lines and that those lines had to be consciously addressed."
Cacy describes her senior year in high school as one big art class.
"I graduated with the honor of being voted 'Most Artistic of the Senior Class,'" she said.
A few years later Cacy entered college with plans to major in art. After two years at PCC she transferred to Marylhurst College thinking she would finish her degree.
Due to a "major distraction," Cacy ended up with a bachelors degree in social science and a masters degree in social work.
"The sudden death of a loved one moved me to reconsider my priorities in life," she said. "I continue to be distracted by the certainty of death; it's an existential pain Prozac can't touch."
The turning point in Cacy's artistic life was a 1997 trip to Paris.
"I went to the P'ere Lachaise Cemetary, and with a bottle of Adelscott and a cigar I made a commitment to steer my life towards the arts," she said.
"I'm not sure how the relationships between the materials will hold up, and I'm not satisfied with my use of color," she said. "I'm not a very patient person and I can see the quality of that impatience in my work."
Cacy admits to being rather closed to criticism regarding the content of her pieces, but she is open to criticism and comments regarding form.
"I would welcome new and useful ideas about how to get the 'little hairs' out of my wood pieces when I'm finished sanding them, or which glue is best for permanent bonding, or ways to create a more fluid line and so forth," she said.
"Producing quality work is an important goal for me."

Reddit User • February 2012
My friend worked there, she hated kids too. I don't understand why you'd want to work there of all places...
It was my first job, I needed the money! I learned how to fake every emotion in the book at that place...
Was it awkward having to do the weird handjob stuffing motions with the bears? I always felt like it would be for them. :|
Haha! You get used to it. I giggled the first couple times.
What's the most insane situation that happened in you store?
Boxing Day. Dear...god... It was my first boxing day in retail. I was the one in my store who helped the manager with our Truck shipments so I was up VERY early, in the store at some ungodly hour to set up and change over all of our plannograms. Before we even lifted our gate (opening 1 hour before any other store in the mall), we had a 30-40 person line up and it didn't stop my WHOLE.SHIFT. It was crazy as hell, and I'm glad I was at Take Me Home the whole time, haha! This poor girl came in with her mom and she did NOT look well. She was pale, sweating, and I was pretty sure she was going to pass out. Her mother had dragged her to the mall while she was violently ill hit so he could spend her gift card. The poor girl threw up while in line (in the store). It was a million degrees, what with all the people, and smells like vomit. The manager gave her a pass to finish her bear before the rest of the line, and I can't remember one person complaining, haha. Felt so bad for the girl, she was pretty embarrassed. Shame on her mother, though :(
Do you really make the customers sing?
For birthday parties, yes. For the birthday song, only the staff sing to the birthday child. Well, that an a few mom's who are pretty into it. We try to help the kids sort of 'test their comfort Zone'. Had a lot of shy kids come in and happy, screaming, yelling, hooligans when they left :). Sorry Mom's XD
Anyone ever put anything weird inside the bear?
I had one little girl put a (fairly large) piece of her baby blanket inside her Sassy Kitty. One crutch to the next, haha. I had know a few employees that put ashes (in containers, of course) inside the bears. These ashes ranged from Pets to infants to parents.

The audio files on this page accompany Hannes Bieger's review of the Trident Audio Series 80B stereo preamp and EQ, which can be accessed at /sos/apr13/articles/trident-audio-series-80b.htm.
This example is of an acoustic guitar recorded with a Neumann KM184 small-diaphragm condenser microphone. The EQ is engaged the second pass , clearing out some mud and adding a little mid-range presence.
Now you can hear the EQ in various settings on an upright bass track. Please note the elegant and smooth filter sweeps in the last round.
The Trident 80B EQ on a vocal track: A full boost at 12 kHz may already be a bit over top, even for this rather dull recording. But the sound remains quite pleasant even at these extreme settings. The milder boost at 8 kHz might be more suitable for a real world application, though.
Finally, we can hear a little distortion! When overdriven, the Trident 80B adds even more weight to this Minimoog bassline, which can then be tweaked even further with the EQ section.


Another week and another kitchen line up accomplished, yippee! And with school staring this week (WAIT, WHAT??) there is no better time to plan things out my friends. Who is with me? A brand new healthy line full of great ideas for your family is right here just for you. Let's do this!
With only two weeks until wedding time (!!!) my sisters and I will be staying in Sunday night and watching Father of the Bride, naturally. Cooking delicious and healthy food too because…well….fancy dresses that are all now tailored to a tee. Spinach and parmesan all over zucchini noodles sounds as lovely as the bride to be. Can't wait!
Monday trying a brand new crock pot recipe: smothered pork chops. But, healthy! Our favorite roasted green beans on the side. Stay away carbs.
Gosh how lovely does this ratatouille look. The absolute perfect way to use up the end of the summer veggies hanging out on your counter. Can't wait.
Wednesday let's fire up the grill and get some iron. I love getting a few pieces of skirt steak going on the grill with just simple olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can enjoy it on it's own or on top of this killer charred Mexican salad.
Thursday sounds like a great night to try a new recipe. A healthy twist on a buffalo chicken casserole, yes please!
And finally that brings us to Friday. With weather raining out our last weeks plan to Lake Geneva, we are going to try again. I'm in charge of a boat app, and what recipe than summer on stick.

From post-Trump exhilaration to panic: Ukraine War changes Europe's views on defense
europe by N/A is licensed under Internet N/A
by WorldTribune Staff, April 17, 2022
During the previous U.S. administration, Western European countries resisted President Donald Trump's appeals to increase their defense budgets.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Romania, Poland, Norway, Sweden and Finland have all announced they would indeed increase their defense spending, David Isaac noted in an April 15 analysis for JNS.
"The events in Ukraine have really sent shockwaves through European capitals, east and west," Bruno Lété, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF), told JNS.
Prior to the Ukraine conflict, European thinking rested on three assumptions, Lété said: 1) a sense of false security; 2) reliance on the United States for Europe's defense needs; and 3) a belief among many Western Europeans, diplomats or political leaders that war is obsolete; "that conflict is to be resolved by economics or diplomacy, and large standing armies are something from the past."
"These three things combined made many European nations conclude that defense spending was not a priority," he said, which caused them to downplay earlier warnings, like Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 and its seizure of Ukraine's Donbas region in 2014.
In a Feb. 27 address to the Bundestag, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Europe faced a Zeitenwende, or "watershed" moment. He asked: "What capabilities does [Vladimir] Putin's Russia possess? And what capabilities do we need in order to counter this threat — today and in the future?"
Sweden and Finland have even expressed an interest in joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
As post-Trump exhilaration has turned to panic, the "starkest change" among European nations is in Germany, both in its view of Russia and its mindset on defense, Rachel Tausendfreund, editorial director of GMF, told JNS.
"Many Germans really were living in a world that was free of danger. Danger was something that happened far away on the other side of the Mediterranean," she said. "They now understand they can't solve everything by talking and trading."
The second change is in attitudes towards Putin, whom they trusted. Public outrage towards the Russian president, together with fears of vulnerability, have put the wind in the sails of German politicians who want to see the country strengthened — "if they can capitalize on it and keep up the momentum," said Tausendfreund.
In his Feb. 27 address, Scholz announced an injection of 100 billion euros into the 2022 defense budget and a pledge to invest more than 2% of Germany's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in defense each year going forward.
According to Statista.com for the year 2020, in terms of GDP, Saudi Arabia was the highest defense-spending country (8.4%), followed by Israel (5.6%), Russia (4.3%), the United States (3.7%), India (2.9%), South Korea (2.8%), U.K. (2.2%), France (2.1%), Australia (2.1%) and China (1.7%).
In terms of dollars, the United States is No. 1 in defense speding at $766 billion, China No. 2 at $252 billion and Russia No. 3 at $61 billion. Israel comes in at No. 14 with $57 billion.
Isaac noted that Germany has also "expressed interest in purchasing Israel's Arrow 3 missile-defense system and Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles."
Lété said that Europe's current security architecture, which is shaped by a series of treaties struck since the end of the Cold War, was finished. "All these treaties are gone. Either Russia withdrew from them, or the West withdrew from them," he said. "The problem right now is that there's nothing else in their place."
He said NATO may become much more muscular. Since the end of the Cold War, it was an organization casting around for a mission. That mission has been thrust on it with Russia's attack. "For 70 to 80 years, NATO's frontline basically crossed through Germany. NATO would occasionally have some presence in the Baltics and Poland. But we've seen now that NATO is recalibrating its military strategy," said Lété. "This historical frontline that went through Germany is now being pushed to the east. NATO's new frontline is now going from the Baltics to the Black Sea."
He added: "We will see quite a lot of change happening from the military perspective, where this eastern front line will be massively reinforced."

Jonathan Richman announces new online series 'Just a Spark, On Journey From Dark'
Set to feature new music, poetry and more
By Josh Martin
Photo credit: Scott Dudelson/Getty Images
Jonathan Richman has announced a new online series, entitled 'Just a Spark, On Journey From Dark'.
Per Pitchfork, the new project will feature music, poetry, interviews and more, with guest musical appearances. It's set to kick off from September 1 via Richman's label Blue Arrow Records, at irregular intervals.
It's a significant amount of online activity for the former Modern Lovers frontman, who proudly proclaims not to use the internet at all. He has no social media presence, with all inquiries directed to his label.
Richman released his last solo album, 'SA' in 2018. He reissued his fourth and most notable solo album 'I, Jonathan' on vinyl for the first time earlier this month. Subscription service Vinyl Me Please also issued a special edition of the record on sky blue vinyl.
The record continues to be difficult to listen to online, with most of its songs absent from YouTube, streaming services or Bandcamp.

Back in April, label Smoking Badger released an archival live album from Richman, 'The Central Park Concert 1988 (WBAI Broadcast)'. It included a new live version of The Modern Lovers' track 'Vincent Van Gogh', among solo cuts like 'That Summer Feeling' and 'It's You'.

'Chhapaak': Film Review
At 93, Roger Corman Has No Intention of Retiring
Film Review: 'After Class'
With: Chris Thile, Gabe Witcher, Chris Eldridge, Noam Pikelny, Greg Garrison, Paul Kowert, John Paul Jones, Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Sara Watkins.
Documaker Mark Meatto strikes an effective balance between focusing on ambitious musicianship and stealing sidelong glances at internecine tensions in "How to Grow a Band." The pic offers an intimately up-close look at the formation of Punch Brothers, a progressive bluegrass ensemble begun by mandolinist Chris Thile after the break-up of the Grammy-winning acoustic trio Nickel Creek. Devotees of folk and bluegrass — and, of course, diehard Nickel Creek fans — are the natural audience for this leisurely paced docu, which should score respectably as a niche homevid release after limited theatrical playdates.
Drawing on archival material, Meatto briskly limns Thile's salad days as a musical prodigy — he appears almost hilariously self-confident in a vintage clip that shows him performing with Nickel Creek at age 9 — then intros the mandolinist as a restless twentysomething shortly after the 2007 end of his 18-year musical partnership with siblings Sara and Sean Watkins. (For the record, Nickel Creek is officially "on hiatus," not defunct.)
On his own personally as well as professionally, Thile writes "The Blind Leaving the Blind," an elegy for his failed marriage that he describes, with a more or less straight face, as a 40-minute bluegrass string quintet in four movements. His burning desire to record and publicly perform this idiosyncratic composition appears to be the prime motivation for Thile's inviting four world-class musicians — fiddler Gabe Witcher, acoustic guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Greg Garrison and banjo player Noam Pikelny — to form Punch Brothers.
Although Meatto takes an unabashedly admiring view of Thile and his bandmates, there's nothing reverential about "How to Grow a Band." Indeed, the docu occasionally is quite funny, particularly when, early during its first European tour, the group performs "Blind Leaving the Blind" before less-than-enthused Glasgow concertgoers.
Thile complains that the audience was primed to expect something else by advertisements promising "hot bluegrass." But other members of the group, most notably Garrison, gently suggest the 40-minute composition might be better received by a live audience if it were broken up into shorter segments.
And so it goes: Despite Thile's insistence during oncamera interviews that he sees Punch Brothers as a democracy, it's clear his bandmates regard him as, for better or worse, first among equals. While the group in general and its string quintet in particular generate increasingly warmer responses, leading to a triumphant New York performance that is the pic's musical centerpiece, there is muted dissension within the ranks. Even for viewers who know nothing about the history of the Punch Brothers, the eventual replacement of one band member will come as no surprise.
Which is not to say that Thile comes off as some kind of dictatorial prima donna. "How to Grow a Band" is most fascinating as it tactfully charts the sort of artistic and philosophical differences that can eventually undermine any group endeavor, even among seemingly like-minded collaborators. Bassist Edgar Meyer, one of Thile's friends and sometime collaborators, goes so far as to suggest that any band composed of strong-willed, musically adventurous individuals probably should expect a short lifespan.
Punch Brothers continues to exist as a group; it released a new album in February 2012, and contributed to the soundtrack of "The Hunger Games." But Meatto's docu none too subtly hints that Meyer's words may yet prove prophetic.
Appropriately enough, the sound mix is excellent throughout. Incidentally, true Nickel Creek fans aren't likely to find "The Blind Leaving the Blind" at all off-putting, inaccessible or even unfamiliar.

At a time when budget cuts are commonplace, staff shortage, larger class size, and understanding the laws governing special education in the US, is imperative to build an inclusive learning environment for all students, from those with learning and physical disabilities, to the exceptionally gifted ones, as well as all children in between.
The National Center for Education Statistics' numbers reveal that about 70 percent of students go to elementary and middle school. The number of children with special education needs is also on the rise.
With the focus on inclusive classrooms, both parents and teachers have to understand the legal requirements, as well as the costs involved towards special education in public schools.
Special education involves academic programs to help individuals who are mentally, emotionally, or physically impaired. The program may include children with severe disabilities, and those with moderate or mild language difficulties, emotional or cognitive disabilities, or other impairment that hinder learning. In some schools, educators use top educational apps for kindergartners to impart education to kids.
What is least-restrictive learning environment?
Least-restrictive environment means schools receiving public funding, must give students an opportunity to attend regular classrooms as much as possible. Schools must allow special students to participate in standard learning environment along with the neuro-typical students.
In some cases, special children with severe impairment may have to spend time in a special classroom designed to accommodate their particular disability, with the help of some top educational apps for kindergartners. But most of their time, as much as 80 percent, is usually spent in a regular classroom environment alongside the neuro-typical students.
Giving all students the opportunity to attend regular classrooms, instructions and learning, is what is known as inclusion. The term "inclusive classrooms" is rather new. It complies with the Rehabilitation Act (1973) and also the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1975). The latter act was amended in 2012, to measure the success of special education programs.
Studies have revealed that after the age of seven, it's usually difficult to bring up special children to a grade-level performance. Kids with mild to extreme mental and physical disabilities have wide-ranging special needs. It requires educators to focus on setting up a consistent classroom environment along with paced instructions, behavior management, and individualized lesson plans. Top educational apps for kindergartners can be much helpful in this regard. Research has suggested that the sooner special needs children are exposed to these apps, the faster they can adapt to regular classrooms.
Special needs children who receive no early intervention, often drop out of school at a much higher rate, which can be twice that of neuro-typical students. It ultimately costs the society far more than properly educating them.
The family physician can play a major role to help identify kids with cognitive and physical disabilities. But it's majorly the responsibility of teachers and parents to determine whether the child is suffering from learning disabilities and needs special education.

Moving away from the Beaux Arts apartment buildings on the opposite side of Riverside Drive, with their parlor, dining room, and library combinations that could be opened into a large entertainment space, 807 featured fifty-two suites of three-to-five rooms. The special features were geared towards comfortable family living rather than grand entertaining: breakfast nooks with the kitchens, mothproof cedar closets, and radio service provided to every apartment by a rooftop aerial.
The Times reported that it was "a copy of a grand ballroom of the Italian renaissance period." On Riverside Drive, the ballroom was below street level, so 807 tenants used a special staircase to reach it. Berler had his own passageway from his home, giving rise to legends that he used it for assignations with a mistress living at 807. On 158th Street, the ballroom was at grade and Pelham wisely gave it a separate exterior entrance, which increased its versatility and potential use.
Berler understood his market: 807 was more than two-thirds leased before completion in December 1924. The following May, Berler and his wife dedicated the ballroom with "a vocal and instrumental concert followed by a formal dinner and dance" for more than 250 people. The ballroom may have been a clever selling point for the building, but if newspaper coverage is any indication, residents did not make much use of it. The Times reported one engagement party that Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Benely gave in honor of their daughter Madeline. The Benelys, who lived on 164th Street and were not residents at 807, called the venue the "Ballroom de Luxe" for the evening. Almost ten years later, Mr. and Mrs. Barney H. Skall feted their daughter Evelyn Wald at 807 Riverside Drive, on the occasion of her engagement to Mr. Lee S. Kuhn, but they did not make clear whether the entertainment was in the ballroom or in their apartment. Given the size of the apartment, the ballroom was the more likely location.
Around 1934, "The Washington Heights Town Club" began using the ballroom for social and cultural events, probably using the exterior door for guests. A 1938 Times article suggests that 807 residents had formed the club, but gives no indication whether they restricted membership to to residents of the building. A key organizer was tenor Hunter Sawyer, who conducted the Washington Heights Oratorio Society in a performance of Saint-Saen's "Christmas Oratorio" and assorted Christmas carols in December 1934. The ensemble returned for a concert in the spring and then a concert performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. Cellist Phyllis Kraeuter and pianist Leonore Kraeuter joined Sawyer for a recital in March and in May, violinist Florizel von Reuter performed in recital (without Sawyer). In 1935, Sawyer opened the season with a performance of sea chanteys accompanied by a quartet known as the Grenadiers. Following were a reception and dance.
Two years later, the Times reported that the Professional Artists Group was using the ballroom as its headquarters. In April, M. A. Rasko and Robert E. Dodds gave painting demonstrations, followed by election of officers for the year and a discussion of exhibition plans. In November, Stuart Davis spoke "in defense of abstract art." Then several artists participated in an open discussion of modern art. John J. Newman and "Red Robin, an Indian painter of the Southwest," gave demonstrations in January 1941. Besides his description of Indian painting, Red Robin demonstrated Indian dance. The artists group was still there in 1942, when Theresa Bernstein gave "a pastel demonstration" and "a talk on modern art, illustrated with slides." At the end of World War II, the Bronx Jewish Sports Club was using the room as its headquarters and activities ranged from dancing to games.
After 1942, all mention of Berler's ballroom abruptly disappears from the press. Perhaps he curtailed all use or perhaps he temporarily converted it to another use, though the current layout suggests it has never been converted into an apartment or divided for other purposes. For decades, the room has remained as an oddity of an earlier time and few people venture there, not even residents.
Today, the former ballroom is stripped its former glamor and used as a storeroom. However, 807 itself is in the process of conversion to a condo building. If the ballroom can survive until the sponsor no longer has control of the space, the owners could remodel what remains – though probably not to its former glory – and convert the space to a community room, both for use of residents and members of the community as it was for decades. Besides providing a sorely needed area for community events (the Grinnell community room being the only one available at present), the condo owners could derive another source of revenue from what is now a space that generates no income at all.

I'll be taking Math 31A this fall quarter, although I've finished more material in high school(no AP, foreign country). For winter, can I take either math 31B or Math 32A? Also, could I also take Physics 1a then?
You wouldn't be able to take Physics 1A until at least Spring Quarter because Math 31A/B are enforced requisites and you must take 32A concurrently (or before) Physics 1A. Even though you could take Math 32A without 31B, you'd still need 31B to take Physics 1A. I think the best path would be to take the sequence as they lay out: 31A, 31B, then 32A.
If I want to try and transfer into engineering, then would that be a problem? Is there no faster way of moving up the pathway? Also I thought Math 31B is a corequisite, not a prereq.
There's no way to get past pre-/co-/requisites other than obtaining permission from the instructor/department to enroll in the class with a PTE number. Switching into engineering does not create shortcuts in class requirements.
31AB and 32A are coreqs for 1A, meaning you must have taken or be taking each. Usually a C- grade or better required.
Sorry, but do you mean that you can take math 31B and 1a together? if I'm done with 31A fall quarter? thanks!
oh also, what I meant is whether it matters if I have taken 1a if I want to transfer to engineering after winter quarter?
You can take Physics 1A along with 31B and 32A together.
I don't know engineering answers.
Also, "IF you are currently a freshman, you may request a change of major based on the following schedule: during your first year, you may apply after you have completed a minimum of two quarters, two required Mathematics courses, AND two other required courses (Chemistry, Physics or Life Science courses) at UCLA."
Note that it is extremely competitive to switch from non-engineering to engineering majors. They will look closely at your GPA (>3.5) and expect you to take at least 2 math/science courses in one quarter and do well.
Alright, so that means ANY science/math courses right? Thank you very much!
I doubt it's any math/science courses. TheEarlyBird's post specified required courses. Presumably that means courses that will count towards the engineering degree requirement, and not just random math/science. Taking engineering pre-requisites also show that you're serious and can do well in those courses, as opposed to any random course.

Children & Divorce: Child Custody: Going to Court, Allegations, Testimony and Witnesses, Appeals:
Child custody disputes -- whether they are part of divorce actions or stand alone cases -- can become exhausting and expensive. The actions involve allegations that cut to the core of human relations: that one person is unfit to be parent of a child he or she has produced. Very often, in the heat of the battle, parents who very much love the child in dispute will be sorely tempted to make false or misleading statements about a partner he or she once loved. False statements made under oath in child custody cases are no different than false statements made under oath in any case: they are perjury, and that they are subject to the applicable penalties for perjury.
And even when the court takes no action, judges, who have heard it all before, cannot help but be influenced by testimony that misrepresents the facts of the case. In the eyes of judge, any parent who perjures himself or herself -- or even misrepresents the facts -- may reduce any claim he or she can make about the child and his or best interest.
The very nature of court invites escalation and exacerbates the impulse to go for the throat. Winning means getting the child; second place is losing.
A court case may mean testimony about the contours and relief of the parent and child relationship. While courts take precautions to protect the child from unnecessary exposure, few parents relish the prospect of laying bear intimate details of family life. Witnesses who know both spouses find themselves reluctantly testifying for one parent may find themselves at odds with the desires of the other. Sometimes a guardian ad litem or in some cases even an attorney for the children may enter the action. Very few parents enjoy the prospect of hearing an expert, even one who is very fair and entirely neutral, dissect the quality of their parenting.
In a custody dispute, witnesses include lay people, such as friends and relatives enlisted to testify on one side or another, or professionals, such as child psychologist, who testify as experts about the child's behavior and rapport with his or her parents.
And when it is over, the parent who does not like the outcome can appeal it of course. But the grounds for a successful appeal must be an error on the part of the court, not merely dissatisfaction with the ruling.

Abstract : At all levels of Life, systems evolve on the 'scales of equilibria'. At the level of bacteria, the individual cell must favor one of two opposing strategies and either take risks to grow or avoid risks to survive. It has been proposed in the Dualism hypothesis that the growth and survival strategies depend on non-equilibrium and equilibrium hyperstructures, respectively. It has been further proposed that the cell cycle itself is the way cells manage to balance the ratios of these types of hyperstructure so as to achieve the compromise solution of living on the two scales. Here, we attempt to re-interpret a major event, the initiation of chromosome replication in Escherichia coli, in the light of scales of equilibria. This entails thinking in terms of hyperstructures as responsible for intensity sensing and quantity sensing and how this sensing might help explain the role of the DnaA protein in initiation of replication. We outline experiments and an automaton approach to the cell cycle that should test and refine the scales concept.
