Now this is something I might have expected to see in Copenhagen where cargo bikes are omnipresent, but in Toronto? Two cargo bikes, carrying bicycles, yet? So at the next red light (because cyclists stop at red lights, you know) I caught up and asked what it was all about.
All of our bikes and the majority of our parts are donated. Our volunteers fix them up and return them to the public at affordable prices or by donation. Selling affordable, refurbished bikes not only diverts old bicycles from the garbage stream, but also makes bicycles more financially accessible, helping put more cyclists on the streets of Toronto.
They also teach bike repair, provide a depot for bike parts, donate bikes to charities and support other organizations, like my favourite Charlie's Freewheels.
After visiting Copenhagen and seeing the incredible bike culture that a city can have, it can be depressing, cycling the streets of Toronto, where the Mayor thinks roads are for cars and trucks and cyclists have nobody but themselves to blame if they get killed and they tear up brand new bike lanes just to make their point about who rules in this town.
But the cargo-bike driving guys from Bike Pirates just made my day.
Not only that, they move them by cargo bike!

Q: Display hyphenation options for a specific word When TeX produces Overfull box, is puts something like this in the log:
Overfull \hbox (15.47195pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 7--9
[]\OT1/cmr/m/n/10 I re-ally re-ally want to get dis-played the op-tions for
hy-phen-ation xxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

I would like a macro \showhyphens that would for an entry like \showhyphens{hyphenation} display its hyphenation options, i.e. hy-phen-ation. This should be displayed either in the document (preferred) or in the log.
(Background: I need this for sumbitting a paper that contains many multi-part words and similar stuff like $(2,3)$-representation etc. I know that there are ways to modify - with \discretionary to make the word breakable, but it makes the code extremly unreadable and I'm not allowed to make this a macro definition.)

A: Because I know that OP (yo) understand Czech then I can refer the book "TeXbook naruby" (full text available on the internet here), page 225 below and page 226. The macro \showhyphenpar is presented here. The paragraph after \showhyphenpar is printed with all words shown as hy-phen-ated.
\def\showhyphenpar{\bgroup
   \def\par{\setparams\endgraf\composelines}
   \setbox0=\vbox\bgroup \noindent\hskip0pt\relax}
\def\setparams{\rightskip=0pt plus1fil
   \linepenalty=1000 \pretolerance=-1 \hyphenpenalty=-10000}
\def\composelines{\setbox2=\hbox{}%
   \loop \setbox0=\lastbox \unskip \unpenalty
   \ifhbox0 % je už \vbox vyprázdněn?
     \global\setbox2=\hbox{\unhbox0\unskip\unhbox2}
   \repeat
   \egroup % vyprázdněný \vbox ukončím
   \exhyphenpenalty=10000 % \box2 vyšoupnu do vnějšího seznamu
   \emergencystretch=4em \leavevmode\unhbox2 \endgraf\egroup}

The principles of this macro is described in the TeXbook naruby.

A: Bing!  Your wish has been granted.
Seriously: \showhyphens already exists under that exact same name.

A: Ok, here is the answer for printing the hyphens:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\def\rehbox{{\unskip\unpenalty\setbox0\lastbox\ifhbox0 \rehbox
    \hbox{\unhbox0} \else \leavevmode \fi}}
\newcommand\printhyphens[1]{%
  \setbox0\vbox{{%
      \pretolerance-1\hsize=0pt\hfuzz=\maxdimen
      \noindent\hspace*{0pt}#1\par\rehbox}\par}%
  \unvbox 0
}

\begin{document}
\printhyphens{If you cannot reconsider this proposal, you are
  incompatible, my dearest friend.}
\end{document}

As the first version is limited by its usage of the save stack, here is a version that isn't.  However, as stated in the comments, it is O(n^3), so it will become inefficient for large arguments rather fast, and the whole point of not using the save stack is to be able to use large arguments.  So it would really make more sense to first split the input into words or lines and process them one by one, using a call of the first version of \printhyphens.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\def\rehbox{\unskip\unpenalty\setbox2\lastbox\ifhbox2
  \setbox0\hbox{\hbox{\unhbox2} \unhbox0}\expandafter\rehbox\fi}
\newcommand\printhyphens[1]{%
  \setbox0\vbox{{\setbox0\hbox{}%
      \pretolerance-1\hsize=0pt\hfuzz=\maxdimen
      \noindent\hspace*{0pt}#1\par\rehbox\unhbox0}\par}%
  \unvbox 0
}

\begin{document}
\printhyphens{If you cannot reconsider this proposal, you are
  incompatible, my dearest friend.}
\end{document}

A: With LuaTeX you have two options: \usepackage{lua-visual-debug} gives a lot of information whereas \usepackage{showhyphens} marks only all possible hyphenation points.

Why Did 'Grey's' Get Rid of the Gay Romance?
End of Callie-Erica affair raises question: how far can gay characters go on TV?
By SHEILA MARIKAR
November 9, 2008, 11:46 PM
Nov. 10, 2008 — -- Something's sketchy at Seattle Grace.
The hospital home to "Grey's Anatomy" seems to specialize in shady cast changes. The latest: actress Brooke Smith's abrupt dismissal from the ABC series, just as things between her and her on-screen lesbian love interest, Callie Torres, played by Sara Ramirez, were getting juicy.
Smith's character, Dr. Erica Hahn, left the drama Thursday without the drama deserving of her multiple-season tenure. After a spat with Callie at Seattle Grace, she simply walked off screen and off the show, nary a tear shed. Last week, Smith told Entertainment Weekly she was shocked to learn her "Grey's" fate:
"I was very excited when they told me that Erica and Callie were going to have this relationship," she said. "And I really hoped we were going to show what happens when two women fall in love and that they were going to treat it like any heterosexual couple on TV. ... I was floored when they told me [I was being let go]. It was the last thing I expected."
Show creator Shonda Rhimes said the decision to write Smith off "Grey's" had nothing to do with the escalation of the romance between Callie and Erica.
"Brooke Smith was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian," Rhimes said in a statement. "Unfortunately, we did not find that the magic and chemistry with Brooke's character would sustain in the long run. The impact of the Callie/Erica relationship will be felt and played out in a story for Callie."
Asked to comment on the decision, ABC declined to elaborate beyond Rhimes' statement.
It's not the first time controversy has swirled around gay issues on "Grey's." Last year, Isaiah Washington was dismissed from the show after he was accused of calling fellow cast member T.R. Knight a "faggot," angering the gay community and fellow cast members. Washington has denied the accusation.
At the time, ABC didn't reference Washington's slur, saying instead that the studio had decided not to renew his contract. Washington weighed in on Smith's dismissal in the latest issue of TV Guide, saying, "The fact is that just before the holidays, you have a mother, a wonderful actress removed from a steady income without the proper reasoning behind it. You look at the way another consummate professional's being treated because her character, her story line, potentially made producers uncomfortable."
Other television insiders agree Smith's canning was likely caused, at least in part, by her character's lesbian leaning and in-depth sexual discussions.
"What's odd about this is the timing. Usually you see these things percolating," said one TV executive who asked to remain anonymous. "I don't think this would be an affiliate issue. It doesn't seem to be an indecency issue. That means it's got to be a creative issue or an advertising issue."
While gay couples and characters may not abound on screen, they certainly exist in shows like NBC's past hit sitcom "Will & Grace" and ABC's "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters." But "Grey's" got into the nitty-gritty of being gay, while those series strived to make homosexuality palatable to mainstream audiences.
"Perhaps viewers have an easier time with gay humor than realistic -- some could say, graphic -- depictions of gay issues on a drama like 'Grey's Anatomy.' A lot of the country might view gay topics as something to laugh at, not something to be explored seriously," said TV Guide senior editor William Keck.
"With Kevin and Scotty on 'Brothers & Sisters,' we don't see a lot of graphic discussions of their sex life," he said. "We see them as a happy couple who have their place at the Walker dinner table. They discuss social topics, not sexual topics. ['Grey's''] instructions about how to pleasure a woman. … I could see a lot of the country being uncomfortable with that."
As evidenced by the fact that more than 10 million Americans in California, Florida and Arizona voted last week to deny marriage rights to homosexual couples.
Not only did "Grey's" ax one lesbian doctor; some say the show is also scaling back on story lines of gay characters and actors, like Knight's George O'Malley -- even though George isn't gay, Knight is. E! Online reported last week that "Alias" alum Melissa George, slated to join the show this week, was originally intended to play Callie's new love interest, but now "starts off flirting with Callie but it never goes anywhere."
Corey Scholibo, entertainment editor of The Advocate, said the appearance that "Grey's" is turning a cold shoulder to the gay community could drive gay fans further from the show, which needs all the viewers it can get as its ratings drop.
Once the No. 1 show on television in 2006, as of Oct. 27, "Grey's" stood at No. 9, according to Nielsen.
"I think gay fans are ultimately going to start getting alienated by these story lines," Scholibo said. "Callie's character isn't going to have another romantic story line so she's basically been neutered. T.R.'s story line is getting cut and he's not even playing a gay character. And the gay community is one of ['Grey's''] most popular demographics."

Sure, Seattle is a casual town. But job-interview day is no regular day.
In Seattle, dressing for comfort is fine for the every day, but what about an interview day?
When it comes to what the modern man should wear to a job interview, here are some do's and don'ts.
Look into what people in your prospective position/company wear day-to-day.
Inside scoop: Lisa Quast spoke to people at Boeing, Redfin and Microsoft about appropriate interview attire in the local tech industry.
Color conscious: Why you might want to avoid wearing orange to your next interview.
What about women? Don't worry, we have more do's and don'ts for everyone.
Navy or charcoal suits are solid picks, Taitingfong says.
Do focus on color, style and fit.
Color. A basic interview outfit might consist of a blue suit, blue shirt and a complementary tie, such as red and blue stripes, tonal stripes or a micro-patterned tie, says Bernardo Cozza, men's sales manager at the Seattle location of Mario's.
A blue shirt is a solid bet, Cozza says. "Blue is a calm color," he points out.
Style. If the office is one in which shorts and sweatpants don't raise eyebrows, your interview attire should still appear "put together," Cozza says. You want to look like you care and pay attention to detail — critical for most careers.
"No flip-flops," Cozza says. Even if your interviewer is wearing a pair.
Many men make the mistake of assuming a good suit can last a lifetime. "That's wrong," Cozza says, pointing out that lapels and notches widen and narrow over time. A suit bought in 1987 may look more like a costume than an appropriate wardrobe choice.
"I don't want to sound superficial, but it sticks in people's minds. They might think, 'This guy's good, but his taste is questionable,'" Cozza says, who recommends a new suit every four to five years.
Fit. "Make sure your clothing fits perfectly. If the fit isn't right you won't make the right impression," Taitingfong says.
Alterations may take up to 10 days, so try on your suit for fit well in advance. Cozza suggests three weeks, if possible.
"For most people, a suit may be too loose. Maybe they've lost weight," he says. Or maybe the opposite.
Socks can match your tie, Cozza says, or be in the same color family (warm, cool or neutral) as the suit. Then pick out a pair of black, burgundy, cognac or light brown shoes, with buckles or laces. With professional-casual pants, clean loafers in good condition are a solid choice, Cozza says.
"Footwear has become more casual over the last few years, and we see customers wearing an elevated sneaker with everything from jeans and a T-shirt to a suit," Taitingfong says.
Both agree: No matter which type of shoe you wear, cleanliness is of utmost importance.
"If you wear a brand-new suit with a contrasting color of shoes that are scratched and dirty, it ruins the whole outfit," Cozza says. You might even polish those oxfords, pre-meeting.
But once again, a little goes a long, long way, he notes.

Stay in your lane, minister tells UN after rep criticises flying car project
Tuesday, 27 Aug 2019 07:15 PM MYT
BY YISWAREE PALANSAMY
Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Yusof speaks at a press conference at the KL Convention Centre, July 11, 2019. — Picture by Hari Anggara
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof today told the United Nations (UN) to butt out of the country's domestic matters, after the global body's representative criticised the ministry's flying car project.
Malaysiakini reported Redzuan as telling the UN to avoid meddling in Malaysia's affairs.
"Their comments may have an impact on the public's opinion, but it's better for them to continue doing what they know," he was quoted saying, referring to the UN.
"Its best that if the UN does not get involved in the business of this country."
He said that while his ministry is open to views from critics of the ambitious flying car project, Malaysia must still move forward to compete with other developed nations, pointing to China as an example.
News portal The Malaysian Insight yesterday quoted the UN's special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights Phillip Alston as saying that the flying car venture — a brainchild of Redzuan — would be a waste of resources, and Malaysia should instead prepare for the aftermath of climate change, which he said was already being felt.
Alston reportedly said that a flying car would also not be practical in Malaysia, given the frequent storms, adding that it would also consume too much fossil fuel.
Last week, state news agency Bernama reported Redzuan saying that works to construct Malaysia's first flying car is 85 per cent complete.
The report said that flying car prototype is currently being built by a Malaysian company in Japan, as the latter nation has the needed supporting ecosystem for the flying car industry.
The flying car proposal has been met with intense criticisms by the public.
However, a defiant Redzuan, has pledged to soldier on with the project.

Stephen Stich Leverhulme Lectures on Moral Psychology
Professor Stephen Stich (Philosophy, Rutgers University) gave a series of four Leverhulme Lectures on moral psychology as Leverhulme Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield in May, 2009.
The titles of these lectures were (in order) "The Definition of Morality", "The Persistence of Moral Disagreement", "The Evolution of Morality" & "Egoism vs. Altruism: Deconstructing the Debate".
We recorded these lectures and are very pleased to present them here. Each lecture is approximately 1 hour long, divided into multiple parts. Please follow the links below to view the lectures.
1. The Definition of Morality (6 May 2009)
Lecture Abstract: According to the eminent psychologist, Jonathan Haidt, "the psychological study of morality has been dominated by politically liberal researchers", and "the lack of moral and political diversity among researchers has led to an inappropriate narrowing of the moral domain". Is he right? This talk will explore some of the issues that underlie Haidt's provocative claim.
This is the first of four Leverhulme Lectures on Moral Psychology by Professor Stephen Stich (Philosophy, Rutgers University), who was Leverhulme Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield from March to May 2009.
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4)
2. The Persistence of Moral Disagreement (11 May 2009)
Lecture Abstract: Moral disagreement is widespread. But would that disagreement persist even under idealized conditions in which all parties to a moral debate are rational, impartial and fully informed about the relevant non-moral facts? For many moral theorists, a positive answer would entail moral relativism or moral nihilism. In this talk I'll review recent empirical findings suggesting that the answer may indeed be positive. I'll also sketch a theory about the psychological processes underlying human norms that points in the same direction.
This is the second of four Leverhulme Lectures on Moral Psychology by Professor Stephen Stich (Philosophy, Rutgers University), who was Leverhulme Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield from March to May 2009.
3. The Evolution of Morality (18 May 2009)
Lecture Abstract: The theory of norm psychology sketched in the previous lecture suggests that people will often internalize norms that reduce their own biological fitness. It might be thought that no such psychological mechanism could possibly evolve. But that would be a mistake. In this talk I'll explain why it was all but inevitable that natural selection would lead to norm psychology in our species, once we had acquired the ability to learn from one another. The account I'll offer explains why many human norms foster cooperative or pro-social behavior. It also explains why many human norms lead to ethnic hatred and morally repugnant behavior.

4. Egoism vs Altruism: Deconstructing the Debate (27 May 2009)
Lecture Abstract: Psychological egoism maintains that all human motivation is ultimately selfish. Philosophers from Hobbes to the present have worried that if egoism is true, moral behavior may be threatened, and drastic steps have been proposed to counter this threat. Recently both psychologists and evolutionary biologists lavished a great deal of attention on the egoism vs. altruism debate. However, neither the psychologists nor the biologists have taken adequate account of the range of cognitive states and processes invoked in contemporary cognitive science. In this talk, I'll argue that when these options are made explicit, they undermine the best psychological and evolutionary arguments for altruism. But they also undermine most of the reasons philosophers have offered for thinking that egoism would be morally problematic.

This is amazing, Patterns on the surface of water can be really interesting as the light changes/ motion of the water have an effect on the final image. very retro!
I really appreciate your comments – it's good to know these shots are appreciated.
Interesting suggestion. I did experiment with different orientations – sttled on this one in the end. However, I like the idea of experimenting in this way, especially with the more abstract shots. Food for thought.

An Exciting Cricket Match
In a simulated version of the game that was used on a corporate team in a workshop on team building (for associates of Mars), I witnessed a classic match last week. The rules were modified to a shortened and simulated version (akin to indoor cricket rules) and teams were chosen completely randomly and the process of electing captains left to the teams.
After losing 4 matches in a row in two days (all ten over games), the Gladiators which was slightly weaker side altogether, beat the Challengers in a thrilling final. But the match was to watch and the growth of the players was to be seen. One could not have hoped for a better result and certainly it would not have been possible if the players had not been honest and given their best.
Coming off four wins the Challengers approached the final confidently. The Gladiators had a do or die attitude as they had nothing to lose anyway. But they were also smarting under the defeats, and were also secretly gearing themselves up for the big final to redeem themselves. The final was a two inning - a fifteen over and a ten over affair.
Challengers captain Saurav Bhatia won the toss and decided to chase. The Gladiators started their innings confidently, lost their way in the middle and ended in the positive with a +7. The Challengers in reply ended up with a score of +16, giving them a lead of 8 runs. The Gladiators went in and batted and got themselves a lead of +8 which was not too easy. In a game that fluctuated wildly the Challengers got the match in control, lost it again and looked fully under control when perhaps the weaker bowler bowled the last over to their best batsman. With a lead of 4, the Challengers had all but won when their last batsman got out thereby levelling the scores. On the basis of lesser number of dismissals the Gladiators won the final.
Some fantastic takeaways for everyone through the game.
1) Saurav Sharma for leading a down and out team to victory. Critical contributions under pressure, leading from the front and getting the best out of his players through a never say die and a well sorted out approach.
2) Sarma for fighting his inner ghosts and scoring under pressure. As a key player he let his team down by dropping some important catches. Coming into the final he fought all the ghosts of his failures and played a match winning innings.
3) Melwyn for accepting the new team and making critical contributions with the bat and with his support. Always giving his 100%, giving frank and straight forward advise, doing his job to the best he can and most of all, embracing his team to the point of taking even their past failures as his own. Fantastic stuff.
4) Ravi, the most transformed who decided to pitch in fully and made a huge difference. As a non-player, he probably felt hugely disadvantaged. But there are more ways to pitch in once you decide to and he was all charged up psychologically attacking the Challengers, refusing to buckle down to their parleys and making critical contributions in terms of field placements. All this showed up in his game which picked up some 25%. More importantly his team got a boost from one who was considered a weak link, and also set the opponents thinking. Huge growth as to what one can do when one makes up his mind to.
5) Jitin who did the best he could and ended up an unlikely hero by getting the last batsman out. Started contributing from putting his body in line of the ball. Little ball sense as a non-player but did all and more. Bowled the critical last over to the best batsman of the opponents and kept his head enough to keep the last ball tantalisingly out of reach causing a mishit and a tie. Never lost his cool, always relaxed.
6) Surendra for putting his failures with the bat behind and picking up some stunning catches. For a volleyball player of repute who never played cricket Surendra's sporting instincts were stinging when Melwyn and Saurav chided him for losing his wicket pointlessly but he quickly came into his own and picked up some fantastic catches that put the Challengers back.
7) Suresh for contributing as a batsman, a runner and as a fielder and always in the thick of things. Ever the team man he always ran for the injured Pankaj, kept well and did his part exceedingly well. Good team man.
8) Pankaj for batting on one leg and bowling some decisive overs.Played a couple of brilliant knocks and got some crucial boundaries even with a badly hurt knee. Also came on and bowled a fantastic over in the first innings that set the opponents back. Great show under pressure.
9) Ambarish for keeping his calm and contributing all through the game. Again a non-player who kept his cool, did not carry any baggage from the previous games and stuck it out till the end, Good temperament and great team work.
10) Sandesh for keeping his cool and performing under pressure. One of the key players of the side he was also under pressure to raise his game but all he needed was to do what he could and he did that well.
1) Saurav Bhatia, for his larger than life presence and inspirational leadership. Also full marks for going for it even on the last ball when he could have actually played it out with his pad and ensured a win. Kept the spirit of the game intact and showed a large heart. If anything, he took the foot off the pedal slightly against the Challengers. Never give hope to the opposition - always kill them.
2) Shashank, for catching almost 25 catches and giving his best in all departments. He was under pressure too for having been switched around from the Gladiators to the Challengers but performed admirably well and bagged the award for most number of catches. Adapted quickly and
3) Gajendra, for accepting his role in the new team and contributing his best. He mingled easily with the new team, gave his 100% in all departments and fought fully. Thoughtful and watchful, deliberate and calculated, he was a big asset to his team.
4) Shaji for catching and batting well and doing all that was required of him. His batting and secure catching were definite pluses for his team.
5) Makarand for his batting and solid presence at the line as he saved several boundaries. A constant source of strength to his team with his combative attitude and skill.
6) Gokul for his wicket keeping and bowling and a never say die attitude. One of the players who hates to lose and goes to great lengths to ensure a win. Terrific involvement and constantly thinking and improvising.
7) Rahul for sticking through in a team and contributing his best on the line and with the bat. Also a strong presence on the field as he goes at the opponents and keeps the pressure on through a psychological verbal warfare.
8) Ganga for doing his best all through as a batsman, bowler an fielder. One of the few who realised his role early on in the games and stuck to it. Learned much from his study of the game
9) Amartya for contributing with the ball and the bat and all round ability. He pulled off several great catches, bowled very well with his left arm and contributed his everything for the team. Superb work as a team man. Highly competitive.
10) Dazel, who stepped on for Charan who did not land up for the final was a blessing in disguise for the Challengers as he brought some superior cricketing skills. A decent bat, bowl and fielder, he did his bit.
Overall the workshop was aimed at understanding the mechanics of team building and team work. From understanding the importance of a common purpose (its all important) and the need to communicate it, to assuming or articulating roles, using strengths, investing and getting fringe players to contribute, the all important leadership angle, synergy of a team that is desperate and hungry to win, the transformation of individuals when seized with a common goal bigger than their own goals ... and more..the games did it all. The amount of self-belief one would have got from those situations, the amount of learning that one can get by analysing the performance of both sides is wonderful.
Some great takeaways that I would stress on for individuals working in teams are:
1) The importance of investing confidence in fringe players and getting them to perform an extra 20% makes a huge difference to the bottom line
2) Leadership is a huge thing and can have a telling impact. However in the long run the leader must empower the team to handle itself even in his absence. (the team must think they did it themselves.)
3) It is for the better players to contribute what they normally do without taking on too much responsibility which can actually set their performance down. Just do what you normally do and do not assume too much responsibility that may tell negatively on your performance. The team needs you to do what you do.
4) When you make a mistake, learn from it and get over it. If you dwell on it you will make more and more mistakes. Cut your losses and cut your drama and get on to the next ball. Its a new ball game.
5) When down on performance and faced with a huge challenge, slow it down, break it up into small bites. One ball at a time.
6) Keep the faith in your players and never let it sag. Even when it all seems dark and the best batsman is batting and the team is in the lead, there is still hope. Hang in there and miracles can happen. But hang in with hope, and give it your all until the last ball.
And much more. I will revisit this page again. But guys, fantastic work. Such results come only from intense, honest work.

Andy Milne
Toronto native Andy Milne draws inspiration from various forms of music, politics, philosophy, comedy, and science fiction. Some of his musical influences include Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, Herbie Nichols, Bela Bartok, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder. Considered one of the most important and respected voices in jazz today, Milne is the recipient of numerous awards and commissions, including the prestigious Civitella Fellowship in 2011. In 2012 he was commissioned by The Japan Foundation and New Music USA to create Strings and Serpents; a multi-disciplinary project featuring artists from Japan, France, Canada and the US. He recently composed and produced the film score for seven documentary films directed by William Shatner. In 2013, Milne was selected to compose an orchestral work for The American Composers Orchestra as part of their JCOI New Music Readings. His highly recognizable group Dapp Theory will release their newest CD, Forward in All Directions, produced by multiple Grammy winner, Jimmy Haslip, in September 2014
In 2007 Milne released two unique piano recordings. Dreams and False Alarms [SongLines] features deeply considered re-workings of long-remembered pop/rock/folk/reggae classics, reaffirming and expanding Milne's creative process as a jazz improviser, while Scenarios [Obliqsound], an intimate duo with harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret, presents him in a more textural, almost cinematic series of encounters – complementary expressions of a questing musical personality.
In 2008, Milne formed Crystal Magnets, a duo piano collaboration with long-time friend, French pianist Benoît Delbecq. Their debut CD Where is Pannonica? [Songlines — 2009] uses the sonic landscape of the 5.0 surround sound format for inspiration. Composed for the medium and recorded in harmony with their environment, Milne and Delbecq exploited the unique potential for placing specific compositional elements in distinct regions of the mix. The New York Times lauded the recording as a "strangely beautiful new album" from two "resourcefully contemporary pianists, both drawn to quixotic interrogations of harmony and timbre."
Milne collaborated with tap dancer/choreographer Heather Cornell to create Finding Synesthesia, which premiered at the London Jazz Festival in November 2007. Together they combine a wide and unexpected range of sounds and influences, to integrally weave the texture and sound of tap into the instrumental ensemble.
In addition to his multiple projects, Milne is a highly sought after educator. He is the assistant director of The School for Improvisational Music, and is an adjunct professor at New York University, New School University and Columbia University.
In 1990, after completing an Honors degree in music at York University (where he studied withOscar Peterson, Pat LaBarbara, and Don Thompson), Milne received a Canada Council grant to study at The Banff Centre. At Banff, he met saxophonist Steve Coleman, who encouraged Milne to move to New York. In 1991, after a year in Montreal picking up valuable sideman experience with Joe Lovano, Archie Shepp, and Ranee Lee, Milne moved to New York and joined Coleman's core unit Five Elements. M-BASE associates Cassandra Wilson and Greg Osbyalso recognized his talent and invited Milne to perform with their groups. The long association with Coleman offered Milne the unique opportunity to develop a completely unprecedented harmonic and rhythmic approach to the piano. The experience of responding to and complementing Coleman's unique style night after night played a major role in the development of Milne's individual approach. After six years gaining international recognition with Coleman's various projects, Milne stepped out on his own to conquer his own musical frontiers.
In 1995, Milne independently booked his band on two extensive grass roots North American tours. Following the first tour, he recorded the self-produced cassette release The 'E' is Silent [Contrology — 1995], featuring Gene Lake, Matthew Garrison, and Audrey Martells. In 1997, Milne recorded his debut CD, Forward to Get Back, [d'Note Records — 1997], which featured performances by Steve Coleman alumni, as well as two duo performances with Coleman himself.
Milne formed Dapp Theory in 1998 to "tell passionate stories, promote peace and inspire collective responsibility towards uplifting the human spiritual condition". The music seeks to explore the truths that exist in universal wisdom, while creatively expressing life's journeys. In 2001 Milne explored these truths in an ambitious songwriting collaboration with Canadian folk-rock icon Bruce Cockburn which were featured on Dapp Theory's 2003 Concord Records release Y'all Just Don't Know.
Andy Milne has established himself as a distinctive voice at the heart of New York's creative jazz scene, performing throughout the world in numerous settings, including collaborations witha range of artists including Ravi Coltrane, Carlos Ward, Carla Cook, Sekou Sundiata, Avery Brooks, Geri Allen, Dianne Reeves, Robin Eubanks, Red Mitchell, and Sonny Greenwich. His innovative rhythmic approach combined with his extensive harmonic lexicon place him at the forefront of young pianists poised to carry on the lineage of creative masters like Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner.

I do think "go 'You know what' yourself" would have been better.
witness or tell me what happens when I die....but I choose to take the high road.
Good. FFRF should do the same.
That won't satiate those extortionists.
Expect more from these hatemongers and trouble-makers.
But, glad to see Clemson will not back down.
Well I have to agree with you 100%. I just googled Mr Jay Sekulow. And from what I heard and read about him, he would cause the Atheist attorney create a puddle of pissss on the Supreme Court House floor. Somebody Email the FFRF and tell them to bring it, and to stop singing it, and then end it by telling them that their attorney is a punk.
Re: That won't satiate those extortionists.
I think that Dabo would step down if they tried to stop him from discussing his faith.
Dabo has consistently demonstrated that he values his principles above all else and I love him for it..
someone is paying WAY too much attention to this group of IDIOTS!!
The FFRF has made their point, has stirred up the hornets nest, and gotten their name splashed all over the media. Clemson's curt response to this will let them fade back to where they came from once all of this is over. They'll move on to the next target, like PETA does.
Many of us atheists love Clemson just as much.
Religion is a personal matter. I am happy for Coach Dabo that faith means a lot to him and it gives him comfort and purpose in life. He has never tried to push it on anyone as far as I know. He should be allowed to practice his faith and all prayers etc are (and should remain) strictly voluntary. FFRF should leave Clemson alone, I don't believe there is any coersion at Clemson. That said, I wonder if there are any atheists at Clemson these days - they were rare to none when I attended back in 70s. I owe my entire career and happy life to education i received at Clemson. Best place and people in the world. Go Tigers.
the official letter that way!!
and Lord knows, we'd never do that.
i think CU said F U!
I AM NOT clicking on this.
Do you guys think I'm that gullible?
Agree wholeheartedly and proud to be a tiger. Now let's let it die and go where the other trash goes.
any negative attention on my beloved university.
story. They always trump up examples of "anti-Christian" behavior to get conservatives mobilized. But if CNN or MSNBC get a hold of the story... which I doubt they will... we might have a problem on our hands.
MSNBC is still withholding the truth about benghazi and the irs scandal.
> problem on our hands.
If CNN and MSNBC get hold of it, 38 more people will hear about it.
I think everything turned out better than could be expected(both incidents).
Personally believe the public perceived both issues as well handled by coaching staff and university officials.
May have been posted before but I fear that it will not be long before they then attack our prayer before football games in Death Valley. That will be next.
Nascar has a Chaplin say a prayer before every race. There is prayer before every super bowl kick off. The FFRF A holes ain't going to do no more that they are doing now. The more they stir their bucket of chit, they just make it stink even more. Before long, even the Atheist community will feel the the FFRF only works hard at stirring the bucket just to inhale that smell!!!
The difference is those are private professional sports organizations. The complaint is that Clemson is a public state funded institution that is pushing a single religion through its football team. Now with that said, I vote we go private before we yield to these agenda pushing a-holes if it comes down to it!
God Bless Dabo and Clemson!!!!
Not in other words, in actual words.
Maybe the Foundation should re-read the Constitution. The actual wording is "Freedom OF religion". What a sad life they lead having to attack where no complaints have been registered.
Actually, nowhere is that actual wording found...just FYI.
The 1st Amendment protect this right which is generally referred to as 'Freedom OF Religion'...but those words are never written.
It's probably why the FFRF used that name, as satire. But those words, like 'Separation of Church and State' are not written in the US Constitution.
They could have told them to" go to ____!" , but those types don't believe in that place either.
It refers directly to freedom of religion. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech"
(make no law) prohibiting the free exercise (of religion).
And "abridging the freedom of speech" doesn't exclude speech about any subject therefore including speech about religion.
Separation of church and state is a whole other issue, but people have made very valid points on here about the difference between God and State vs. Church and State and how the courts have viewed it in the past.
IMO,A good response from the administration.
No complaints have been received, they are obligated to provide support for these young men, and they have rights backed by the highest court in the land.
As a Christian it makes me sad that they are going after the program over religious reasons when all the responses have shown that nothing has been forced on players former or current. As a fan, however, if some crap story about forcing certain beliefs on people is the only complaint someone can find on the program, I think that says a lot that Dabo & Co. are dedicated to developing these young men into winners on & off the field.
This is Clemson at its best. FFRF can shove it. They are purely just snooping around and tryin to hurt us. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
I'm a 1989 graduate of Clemson and also a supporter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (ffrf.org). Thought I now live in Texas, I continue to follow Tiger football and I think Coach Swinney has done a great job with the team.
While I'm a big fan of his coaching, I think he should keep in mind the power and influence he has over the young men in his care. He could use his position to embrace and respect diversity of thought and ideas rather than pushing his personal faith on young people who might be uncomfortable expressing any disagreement with his religious beliefs.
There's just no reason to mix coaching with proselytizing. Stick to football.

Trumbull County, Ohio
According to the 2000 Census, Trumbull County, Ohio has a population of 225,116 people. Of those, 203,084 (90%) are White, 17,778 (8%) are Black, and 1,794 (0%) are Latino[1]. However, 1,729 (or 1% of the 225,116 people) are not residents by choice but are people in prison.
Even though prisoners cannot participate in the local community, the Census Bureau nevertheless counts them as residents of the county where they are incarcerated.
A more accurate description would not include the prisoners. This would give Trumbull County a population of 223,387 with a demographic that is 91% White, 8% Black, and 1% Latino.
225,116 1,729 223,387
203,084 742 202,342
17,778 968 16,810
1,794 8 1,786
[1]The numbers for Whites, Blacks and Latinos may not add up to the total number because we have not included racial groups other than Whites and Blacks and because the Census Bureau considers "Latino" to be an ethnicity, not a race. Most of the people reported as being Latino are also counted as being White or Black.

Fort Pitt ChapterAUSA's Five Things
AUSA's Five Things
AUSA's Five Things: A Weekly Tip Sheet for AUSA Members
1 Top Recruiter
The Army National Guard's Recruiter of the Year is Sgt. 1st Class Todd Crawford of the Wyoming Army National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion. "I love being a recruiter," Crawford said. "The biggest thing for me is to be able to help people achieve their dreams and goals."
What to watch: Earning the Recruiter of the Year title involved being the top recruiter in his state and then being judged in a two-day evaluation focused on appearance, education, knowledge and leadership.
2 Aviation Legend
After more than 60 years of service, John Shipley has retired but not before the longtime director of the Aviation Integration Directorate of the Aviation and Missile Command was inducted into the Army Materiel Command Hall of Fame for his lifetime of achievement supporting military aviation. He'd headed the directorate since 1982.
What to watch: AMC Commander Gen. Gus Perna said the Army turned to Shipley after the 1980 Desert One mission failure in Iran for help with special operations aviation demands. "There is a cliché we have all heard—'He was a legend in his own time'—but when that is said about Mr. John Shipley, it is not a cliché, it is the truth," Perna said.
3 IDEX Underway
IDEX 2019, a biennial defense exhibition and conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, got underway yesterday featuring 1,100 defense exhibits in 12 exhibition halls. A 50,000-square-foot USA Security and Defense Pavilion is organized by the Association of the U.S. Army. It includes a speakers' corner where U.S. defense and Army officials are expected to speak.
What to watch: IDEX 2019, expected to be the largest defense exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa, continues through Thursday, Feb. 21.
4 Dailey on Sexual Harassment
Asked at a Feb. 7 congressional hearing about sexual harassment and assault in the military, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey was clear in his response: "If there is one thing I could rid from our Army tomorrow morning, this would be it." He said, "We have to do a better job of changing the culture. … We have to get acts of indiscipline out of our formation."
What to watch: Dailey said it will take continued work, especially focused "down at the unit level to rid this problem from our military."
5 'Purple Bomb'
Army Secretary Mark T. Esper describes hypersonic weapons as the "purple bomb" because the Army, Navy and Air Force are working together on the boost-glide technology that could fundamentally change warfare. The weapon being designed could fire from the ground, from ships or from aircraft, flying at five times the speed of sound.
What to watch: By cooperating, the services may be able to shave five years off the time it will take to field a hypersonic weapon, a good thing considering Russia and China are also developing the technology.

Lousy not worth the $4.99. Just over 700 pages. But most pages only 4 sentences long, and half the book just retells past entry's from earlier books. What a disappointment. 1 star is too much for this book. Can I have my money back?
The price? For a 157 page ebook. And that page count? Is at a largerish font. I will of course continue to buy Julia Kent's work, and I will continue to post complain about the price.
I know, I didn't have to purchase the ebook and spend that money, but the book is a very simple and somewhat entertaining read. I enjoy reading her novels while traveling as I can read them in one setting and enjoy guessing at what her characters will get into next.
Honestly, the book is way overpriced. The story was not good enough to warrant the 2.99USD I paid for it. .99USD on the other hand? Sure.

It feels almost instinctual as a human being to avoid a negative feeling. If something from the past doesn't feel good, it's quite common and understandable to distract yourself from it through any number of ways, such as using chemicals, overeating, overworking, etc. This may seem to help for a while, however, the act of avoidance keeps it locked in your body/mind system, unconsciously influencing you in a limiting way. A key to releasing an unwanted emotion lies in the last place one would expect to find it…inside the negative feeling itself!
Where would you look to find the unwanted past that has a grip on your underlying feelings and beliefs? Although the past no longer exists, it can have a strong, influential hold on us. The body is a good place to look, because it is a storehouse of old, outdated feelings that have not been given a chance to be fully articulated, expressed and/or processed.
In a new paradigm, unwanted feelings will not be avoided, but instead viewed more as a small child nagging for attention so they can be liberated from your body/mind system. As this happens, you become a freer human being…a clearer expression of your soul, rather than an expression of the fears from your past programming and conditioning. A negative feeling is simply a guidepost that informs us that we are out of alignment with our soul's perspective, while a feeling of harmony and joy indicates we are in alignment with our soul's purpose.
These days there are an increasing amount of emotional healing methods, such as EFT, EMDR, Emotion Code, etc. The right fit varies among individuals. It's important to note that healing is a process that happens in layers. A triggered emotion means you're ready for the next layer to release. I often use a light trance method that is a combination of effective techniques. It's a process that's best done with a skilled guide who can keep your focus anchored in the present moment.
When you permit a negative emotion to be your guide, it illuminates the unconscious beliefs it operates from, as well as where it originated. The key is to place your full attention into that negative emotion. As a result, the past is then reduced to a sensation in the body. The moment you fully feel it in the body, you have switched from thinking mode to feeling mode, and you've become anchored in the present moment. When anchored in the present moment, you can access the subconscious mind, thus uncovering the unconscious beliefs that this emotion operates from, as well as allowing it to point toward any situations, events or circumstances that contributed to this feeling.
With your will and intent, you can send the negative energy out of your body and recover the part of you that was lost when you took on that negative emotion.
Here's an example: A man came to me with debilitating anxiety. As he fine-tuned his focus on it, he could feel it most in his stomach. Often, I ask the client to give the feeling a voice. A dialogue creates a space for listening, understanding and resolution.
After some questioning, it said, "I'm most afraid of making a mistake, and that means I'll be judged and criticized, which means I won't be loved, and I'll be all alone." These subconscious beliefs fueled the anxiety and locked it in place. Then, the anxiety guided his awareness to the situations early in his life that contributed to the feeling. They were most evident from a father who would not tolerate mistakes. These tense energies from early events had been trapped and replayed in his body for years, creating a pressure-cooker effect that exacerbated his anxiety.
As he focused and felt the feelings from the past in his body, he could then release them from his body/mind system and bring in the part of himself that was covered up and lost when he took on the fear-based energy. As his body steeped in the lighter energies of freedom, strength and confidence, these positive emotions became more strongly embedded in his subconscious mind.
Our negative feelings are not who we are, but who we are can observe, understand, release and heal them with intention. As long as we fear and avoid them, they will enslave us. But when we allow them to guide us to what wants to be acknowledged and no longer hidden within us, we can liberate these negative energies from our body/mind systems, enabling us to live from the true freedom that we are — and from which we can never really escape!

An entrepreneur needs a network of supportive people and resources to maximize his or her chances of success, because there will always be fires to put out. While entrepreneurs can be found everywhere, some startup ecosystems are thriving more than others. Building a startup community, or startup ecosystem, is no easy task and requires a lot of intentional work.
An interconnected startup community is one that shares common values and whose interests support the entrepreneurs, their ventures, and the startup community as a whole. The GIST Network assembled a panel of experts to discuss best practices in helping your ecosystem become more interconnected, supportive, and prosperous:
Michelle Messina, co-author of the best-selling book Decoding Silicon Valley: The Insider's Guide.
Grant Warner, director of innovation for Howard University's Graduate School.
Chantalle Dumonceaux, co-founder of and adviser to Womena, an angel investment platform focused on women in the Middle East.
Moderator Jeff Engell, founder of Blue Oceans Group.
What is a startup community?
Chantalle describes a startup community as "a network of people and institutions that add value to each other and help each other succeed just like any network." Entrepreneurs are not the only players in the ecosystem.
Grant adds that when he thinks of startup communities he thinks of ecosystems as Chantalle mentioned. He sees an ecosystem as a community that has multiple players but "each one has to be nurtured and you have to develop a plan to nurture them."
Michelle defines a startup community on the basis of a group of different types of service providers, universities, investors, large corporations that function as customers, but they are all aligned and unified around the goal of serving and supporting the needs of the entrepreneurs. Michelle says, "It's a supportive ecosystem, but the entrepreneurs and startups are at the center of that and the most important part of it."
Why create a startup community?
The job of being an entrepreneur and building a startup is really hard. It takes a community to raise a startup. Michelle strongly believes a startup community commitment to serving and supporting the needs of the entrepreneur is what makes it so valuable.
Who are some of the key participants in a startup community?
As discussed by the panelists, the essential components of a startup ecosystem include:
Entrepreneurs with ideas, inventions and researches or startups at various stages.
A community culture that reinforces the idea that you can fail fast, often, and still advance your ideas.
Investor networks
Incubators / Accelerators
Service providers (consulting, accounting, legal, etc.)
Funding providers (loans, grants, etc.)
What role can universities play in a startup community? How do you influence the culture of the university to be more supportive of a startup community?
Universities have the potential to be some of the best places to build and support a startup community.
"The campus itself is a bed of talent and the university itself has resources to create spaces that can benefit the community," says Grant. There is also this idea that you have to reach markets to test your product, and universities tend to have very strong partnerships with large corporations so they have a pathway that can help entrepreneurs grow their startups. The training provided to student entrepreneurs affiliated with a university can have other benefits as well — such as creating opportunities for students to gain practical experience and start their careers before they have even graduated.
Why is it so hard for developing countries to support young startups despite the fact that this would grow their tax base?
Chantalle advises entrepreneurs in emerging markets not to depend on people from the United States or Europe to realize their value, but to build it themselves. She encourages entrepreneurs to "find their unique, local competitive advantage and exploit it."
Find your competitive advantage, your unique market, and figure out how the developed markets are not able to service your market. That's what you need to focus on as an entrepreneur, then later as an investor, and generally as a community leader.
Grant adds that when talking about the elements of a strong startup community, the government is a part of it. But there are so many other elements. He says, "If I was an entrepreneur in a developing economy, I would look to see what other assets are available in the community and how could those assets be assembled to help grow the impact of the startup community."
Being based in Silicon Valley, Michelle travels to different countries around the world. She doesn't believe in trying to copy Silicon Valley. She explains, "I believe in trying to assess what's there and leverage that in a way that the ecosystem locally — whether it be the industries, the partners, [or] the historical and cultural aspects of that local community — can be successful based on what their existing strengths are."
Jeff also notes that while some countries' economies are advanced, that doesn't necessarily mean that the startup ecosystem is, and that's important to consider when building a startup community.
Measuring whether a startup community is performing well can be tricky but important for the success of a startup ecosystem. Michelle believes that any startup community is unique because of where they are, the culture, the industries that have been established there over time, and the daily rhythms of business in that particular place. Every community is going to be nuanced and different in its own way.
Also important is being able to measure the community's activities over the course of years. Michelle recommends looking at the number of new companies in the system, how many events are happening, and if those activities are only general or if there is a range that reflects the diversity of growth stages for startups.
How can different entrepreneurship ecosystems connect with one another?
It's difficult coming from a developing country to connect with the right people that you need for your startup.
Michelle suggests starting with being clear about what your own objectives are before going into a particular ecosystem. Ask yourself "what you hope to accomplish and whom you want to connect with." She advises to start with events and meetups. Look at large technology conferences like Startup Grind, TechCrunch and IOT World. Reach out to online editors and journalists to ask about who is active in the community, who the key players are in the industry, and what are the meetups you should be going to.
The most important thing for entrepreneurs is to get involved. Learn what you can and share your own knowledge and expertise. After all, you may know something or someone that could be helpful to another entrepreneur, even if you are just getting started.

If yes, then you need any of the various modafinil tablets. You can get modafinil for sale at any online pharmacy store easily using your credit card to make payment and get it shipped to you.
In case you are thinking of which of the modafinil tablet to purchase, I want to share with you two of the best and most sought after modafinil tablets you can consider depending on your budget and choice.
Manufactured by HAB Pharmaceutical Ltd, modvigil has been a blessing to people suffering from obstructive sleep caused by apnea and those suffering from shift-work sleep disorder.
Modvigil is a cost effective generic form of modafinil that gives the same modafinil experience at a cheaper price. Modvigil contains 200mg of modafinil which can improve your alertness and mental energy.
It has the same composition as Provigil by Cephalon Inc. (an alternative brand).

In simpler terms, it is a drug used to stay awake and alert so you can be productive in whatsoever you are doing. It is a modafinil drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agencies around the world including World Health Organization (WHO).
By now, you might be asking about the different between the two drugs and which you should go for.
Modalert is from Sun Pharmaceutical, a much larger and more experienced company known all over India while modvigil is produced by HAB Pharm. The ingredient in both pills are the same with the same modafinil effects. The only different between the two drugs are the price, quality and production rate.
Modvigil is more asked for compare to modalert because it is slightly cheaper. Although, users of modalert still stick with modalert because they sense that higher products are more effective than cheaper ones.It is left for you to order now and see for yourself.

First time users are advised by doctor prescription to take half dose (100mg) of any of the modafinil tablet. This means you are to break the drug into two. Regular users suffering from shift-work disorder can take 200mg to experience the modafinil effects.
It only takes 24 hours for your order to be shipped to you after payment confirmation, and to be expected between 7 to 14 days.

Do I need to be able to read music before coming to lessons?
No, you will be taught to read music during your lessons, through a mixture of practical use and theory.
Do I need to be able to sing or play the piano already?
No, absolute beginners are completely welcome.
Do you only teach one style of singing?
No, all styles are taught. Whether you want to perform pop, jazz, R&B, rock, classical or musical theatre, you will be taught the correct techniques for each style.
Why do I need lessons? Can't I just learn from teach-yourself books?
Although there are some very good teach-yourself books out there, there is no substitute for having lessons, and these types of books should really only be used in conjunction with lessons. You will be taught the correct techniques that are often hard to describe in print. You are also in greater danger of developing poor technique, which can actually damage your voice, if you try and teach yourself.

Development (2015)
In frog spawn in a pond, each egg is able to turn itself into a tadpole and eventually a frog, with no help or guidance from a parent frog or from anything else in the pond. The single egg will have no resemblance in any respect to what it will turn into. We now begin to understand how this extraordinary transformation takes place. Eggs of frogs and other animals have another remarkable property. If a single cell from adult skin is transplanted into an egg, the skin cell will be made to go backwards in development to become an embryo cell from which another adult can be formed (repeating the process of normal development). In this way it is now possible to replace aged or diseased cells of an adult with rejuvenated cells from their skin. This is opening the possibility of cell replacement in humans.
John Gurdon was judged at school to be wholly unsuited to science having come bottom in a class of 250 in Biology. However, he was able to take up science at Oxford University, where he also did a PhD. His work led to the concept that an egg has the ability to rejuvenate the nucleus of an adult cell, and hence to the current prospect of replacing aged and diseased cells in humans with new cells derived from other body cells such as skin. In mid career he moved to Cambridge where he still works in the University. He is an Honorary Fellow of Christ Church, Oxford, and of Magdalene and Churchill Colleges in Cambridge. He served as Master of Magdalene from 1995-2002. He has received a number of awards including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society (2003), the Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research (2009), and the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine (2012).

On this episode we're discussing Stress in ethical non-monogamy.
There are so many positive aspects about open relationships but one of the negatives we've discovered is how stressful they can be.
Everyone knows that jealousy, self-esteem issues, or mismatched levels of feelings can take their toll, especially when find ourselves managing them poorly or tamping them down in denial or shame. But it's easy to overlook the emotional cost of GOOD stress, like the *excitement* of new experiences, meeting people, and New Relationship Energy.
We're breaking down a number of different sources of stress in non-monogamy as well as some of the ways we manage, cope with, and process that stress so we can focus on the positive and get the most out of sharing the love.
Welcome to On The Wet Coast a podcast about sexuality and ethical non-monogamy of every variety.
On this episode - originally released on the Gentle Perverts Social Club Podcast Episode 11 on Swingset.fm - we wade into the murky green waters of jealousy.
We all know that as non-monogamous perverts, we're completely above jealousy. It's 100% full-time compersion up in here! Except we're not, and it's not.
Jealousy affects all our relationships for so many different reasons. Different people and situations trigger jealousy bombs in sometimes unexpected ways. We're discussing jealousy in many of its iterations, what it means, what it doesn't mean, why some people cause you to Hulk out while others might inspire giddy compersion rainbows, why rules don't always work, and what we've done to decrease the harm jealousy can do in our open relationship.


The AMWU will hold three meetings today and tomorrow with Holden workers after their shifts end, with the number of those applying for voluntary redundancy exceeding the number of redundancies offered.
The Advertiser reports that post-shift meetings with Holden's Elizabeth plant workers at 1 pm and 3 pm on Monday and 12 am on Tuesday morning.
"What management keeps saying to us is that (the) future of Holden depends on workers' flexibility - these workers do have flexibility," said the union's John Camillo.
Holden's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, following Ford's announcement in May that it would leave Australia, Holden's threat to also exit in 2016 if any funding is withdrawn if a Coalition government is elected this year, and managing director Mike Devereux asking 2,000 workers – 1,700 at Elizabeth and 300 at Port Melbourne – to consider pay reductions.
Devereux has cited high costs in Australia for the Holden's difficulties, claiming the cost per vehicle produced is up to $3,750 higher in Australia compared to elsewhere.
Last Friday the ABC reported that about 500 workers have applied for redundancy at the Elizabeth plant, 100 more than the number of separation packages Holden was seeking.
Camillo has suggested that this is indicative of the state of car making in the country.
months or years of uncertainty about the automotive industry," he said.
