Job vs. Career: Which One Are You Pursuing?
Posted March 02, 2015 by Tricia Mool in IT Degrees
Tags: IT Degrees
In the last 30 years, the U.S. job market has undergone an interesting transformation. Though most careers still require specialized training and higher education, the guidelines that define a job vs. career have evolved.
Contract workers comprise a growing portion of our modern economy, and the new norm is a more transient, dynamic workforce, where many professionals change positions every two to five years. And now more than ever, career-changing jobs are a way for mid-career professionals to explore new paths.
If you're just starting out, or thinking about starting a new career, it's important to understand the difference between a job and career path, and the kinds of career paths you might take. There are benefits to both, and knowing the latest trends will help you decide on the best option for your temperament and work-life goals.
Job vs. Career: Know the Difference
A career typically requires a specialized education and is more of a long-term approach. It's not just a way to earn money but rather a pursuit of a lifelong goal. A job, on the other hand, is steady work where higher education or training may not be required. It can be a means to "bridge the gap," such as hourly work that pays the bills while you pursue a bachelor's degree in your field of interest.1
While these are basic guidelines, not every job or career fits this structure. Certainly, an administrative assistant who can secure an entry-level job without higher education can also pursue this as a career, working toward an executive assistant role—one with better pay where specialized skills are reached by on-the-job experience.
A Career is a Lifelong Ambition Reached
That said, a career path is comprised of various jobs: If your goal is to work as a senior programmer, you may start as a junior programmer or system administrator before reaching senior programmer status. Careers may be more likely to include benefits such as a company 401K plan, stock options, paid time off or healthcare coverage. But the main benefit for most professionals is to land a fulfilling position that fits with their personal goals and interests.
Steady Jobs Can Support a Career Change
Those who take the path of seeking individual jobs that aren't related to a specific career path or goal may find fewer of these ancillary benefits but may enjoy greater flexibility. One of the biggest benefits of a job is the ability to create a schedule and earn an income while pursuing training for a career. Indeed, those with a degree see higher earnings potential, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which finds that people with a bachelor's degree earn 70% more than those with a high school diploma alone.
Portfolio and Encore Careers are the New Norm
One key difference in how professionals carve out a career today is marked not by the company they have worked for, but by the latest project they've completed. These professionals pursue what's known as a "portfolio career," built around project-based jobs that can span different industries and draw upon a variety of skill sets.
Whether a professional is working to build experience or thrives on a variety of experiences, these are careers made up of one-off projects typically secured through contract work. This type of career serves individuals with a variety of interests who are passionate about pursuing these interests without being tied down to a single arena. They may feel limited by one position or one employer and thrive with less structure. For those interested in this type of career, learning transferable skills –– skills you can apply to different positions—is optimal. Those with backgrounds in finance, for example, may work in many fields, such as higher education or in the corporate world in a consultant role.
There's another type of career that has developed in our modern economy: encore careers. Many workers approaching retirement look to a second career after 25 to 30 years in one field. These professionals aren't yet ready to stop working. Similar to those new to the workforce, they begin a career search exploring new areas of interest. And they often return to school for continued education in a new field that fits those interests.
Research a Field or Company First
No matter what your career approach or individual area of interest, the best action you can take is to network within the field. Seek out either a counselor or mentor who can talk to you about the best strategy to take to reach your goal. You might also try to identify someone you know who currently works in the company or field of your interest and talk about company culture, best paths to take to reach the position you desire and what the reality of working in a particular field or company is like.
Build a Career One Job at a Time
Your first job probably won't be your last job on your journey building a career; consider it important experience when you're entering the workforce. But to pursue a career, build on each job as a step to the next, continue to broaden your network and work toward mastery of your skills as you move toward the career that's right for you.

A.M. No. P-11-3020 (Formerly OCA I.P.I. No. 10-3525-P), June 25, 2014 - PRESIDING JUDGE JUAN GABRIEL HIZON ALANO, MARY ANNABELLE A. KATIPUNAN, SUZEE WONG JAMOTILLO, ANALIE DEL RIO BALITUNG, EDWINO JAYSON OLIVEROS AND ROBERTO BABAO DOÑO, Complainants, v. PADMA LATIP SAHI, COURT INTERPRETER I, MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURT (MCTC), MALUSO, BASILAN. Respondent.
PRESIDING JUDGE JUAN GABRIEL HIZON ALANO, MARY ANNABELLE A. KATIPUNAN, SUZEE WONG JAMOTILLO, ANALIE DEL RIO BALITUNG, EDWINO JAYSON OLIVEROS AND ROBERTO BABAO DOÑO, Complainants, v. PADMA LATIP SAHI, COURT INTERPRETER I, MUNICIPAL CIRCUIT TRIAL COURT (MCTC), MALUSO, BASILAN. Respondent.
The present administrative matter arose from a Verified Complaint1 for Gross Inefficiency, Gross Insubordination, and for being Notoriously Undesirable, filed by complainants Presiding Judge Juan Gabriel Hizon Alano (Judge Alano), Mary Annabelle A. Katipunan (Katipunan), Suzee Wong Jamotillo (Jamotillo), Analie Del Rio Balitung (Balitung), Edwino Jayson Oliveros (Oliveros), and Roberto Babao Doño (Doño), of the 2nd Municipal Circuit Trial Court (MCTC), Maluso, Basilan, against respondent Padma Latip Sahi (Sahi), Court Interpreter I, of the same court.
Complainant Judge Alano claims that when he assumed office as presiding judge of the 2nd MCTC, Maluso, Basilan on 18 February 2004, he immediately met with the staff of the said court regarding ethical and work related standards. He even made sure that each of the staff members knows his or her job description well, with emphasis on respondent Sahi, since he learned that the latter is not performing her job to prepare minutes of proceedings, calendar and keep records of calendared cases. From then on, complainant Judge Alano noticed that respondent Sahi has been grossly inefficient in performing her duties and such issue was even raised during their Judicial Service Team Meetings.
Complainant Judge Alano alleges that from the day he resumed office, respondent Sahi never prepared any court calendar or minutes. He further alleges that respondent Sahi does not know how to speak the Yakan and Visayan dialects, which is necessary for her position. Also, complainant Judge Hizon gathered that even prior to 2004, it was Mary Annabelle A. Katipunan (one of the complainants) who prepared the minutes of proceedings, calendar of cases and kept records of the same. Respondent Sahi also abused her position when she required one of the complainants, Suzee Wong Jamotillo, Court Stenographer I, to fill up her Income Tax Return to include names of children that are not her own. She also required complainant Analie Del Rio Balitung to prepare a promissory note in favor of a party litigant in an election protest before another court.
Complainant Judge Alano claims that in all cases he heard since 2004, he was the one who would usually interpret the testimonies of the witnesses into English, to avoid inconvenience and delay in the proceedings. He also claims that respondent Sahi's performance deteriorated to a point bordering to recklessness, resulting in her consecutive unsatisfactory ratings for the first and second semesters of 2008.
Furthermore, complainant Judge Alano asserts that when respondent Sahi was assigned in the Office of the Clerk of Court, Regional Trial Court, Basilan Province, her stay was no longer extended and she was directed by the Court to return to her official position at the 2nd MCTC, S[u]misip-Maluso-Lantawan, Basilan in A.M. No. 08-12350-MCTC dated March 2010. Complainant Judge Alano also asserts that from the time that respondent Sahi reported back to office, she was not in the office for more than a month and worse, her Daily Time Records from August 2009 to May 2010 bore no signature of those authorized to sign the same.
On 28 July 2009, complainant Judge Alano claims that respondent Sahi again received an unsatisfactory rating due to her poor performance and unjustified failure to perform her duties. Even worse, the very next day, after respondent Sahi received her Notice of Unsatisfactory Rating, complainant Judge Alano again called her attention due to her inexcusable errors in formatting and grammar.
On 16 September 2010, respondent Sahi calendared only one case. In the morning of the same day, a representative from the Provincial Prosecutors' Office approached complainant Katipunan regarding the cases that are calendared on that day, since respondent Sahi failed to post a copy outside the courtroom. Consequently, at around 1:00 o'clock of the same day, respondent Sahi failed to call the case for hearing, as she was not around. However, the court's logbook shows that she was present at that time. Because of respondent Sahi's inefficiency and stubborn refusal to perform her duties, complainant Judge Alano decided to relieve her of her duties and designated complainants Jamotillo and Balitung as acting court interpreters.
In her Comment3 dated July 11, 2011, respondent Sahi vehemently denied the charges against her and asserted that the allegations in the Verified Complaint are maliciously concocted lies which are just part of complainant Judge Alano's scheme to get back at her for earlier filing a complaint for grave abuse of authority against said Judge. Respondent Sahi contended that in just a short period of time from complainant Judge Alano's assumption as presiding judge of the 2nd MCTC for Sumisip, Maluso and Lantawan, Basilan, the latter already ousted three court personnel from the service, including former Clerk of Court Akil Pawaki, who, said Judge pressured to retire. She also refuted complainant Judge Alano's charge that she does not know how to speak the Yakan and Visayan dialects, calling attention to the fact that she had been a court interpreter for years and had served several judges without any complaint of such nature. Respondent Sahi further averred that she did not expect a good performance rating from complainant Judge Alano since the said Judge already disliked her from the very beginning. She insisted that she should not be held solely liable for the clerical errors pointed out by complainant Judge Alano because when she approached said Judge, he ignored her, and even worse, at one time, he placed his clutch bag on top of his table and pulled out his gun. Lastly, respondent Sahi alleged that because of the unfair treatment she received from complainant Judge Alano, she suffered a stroke, leaving her with no choice but to resign from the service. Hence, she argued that the administrative complaint against her was already moot and academic and should be dismissed.
In a Resolution5 dated November 28, 2011, the Court re-docketed the instant administrative complaint against respondent Sahi as a regular administrative matter and required the parties to manifest if they were willing to submit the case for resolution on the basis of the records/pleadings filed within 10 days from notice. Only complainants submitted their Manifestation dated February 16, 2012.6 Respondent Sahi's failure to file the required manifestation despite notice was deemed a waiver of her right to do so. Resultantly, the Court considered the case submitted for resolution.
The Court agrees with the findings of the OCA that respondent Sahi is administratively liable for inefficiency and incompetence in the performance of official duties.
The charge that respondent Sahi was remiss in her duties as court interpreter has been duly proven. Not only do the complainants corroborate one another, but the documentary evidence supports the charge.
In A.M. No. 08-12-350-MCTC dated March 10, 2010, respondent Sahi was directed to report back to her official station at the 2nd MCTC Sumipsip-Maluso-Lantawan, Basilan, after her detail at the Office of the Clerk of Court of the Regional Trial Court, Basilan Province, had already ended. Yet, respondent Sahi actually reported back to her official station only on May 18, 2010. Respondent Sahi did not give an explanation as to where she had been reporting for work during the interval. Her Daily Time Records from August 2009 to May 2010 were not signed by authorized persons.
The calendar of cases actually prepared by respondent Sahi for July 29, 2010 is just one example of her carelessness and inattention to details. The calendar contained several errors (i.e., wrong name of accused and putting two different criminal cases under one heading even though said cases have not been consolidated) which may not only cause the court and the parties confusion and unjustified delays, but may also make the court appear inefficient in the eyes of the public. There is no showing that respondent Sahi eventually corrected the errors despite being instructed to do so by complainant Judge Alano.
There was also respondent Sahi's failure to prepare a calendar of cases for September 16, 2010. A representative of the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor approached complainant Katipunan about the hearing schedule as no calendar of cases was posted outside the courtroom. At 1:00 p.m., respondent Sahi was not around to call the lone case scheduled to be heard that day, although the court's registry book showed that she logged in at 1:00 p.m. Fed up with respondent Sahi, complainant Judge Alano already assigned her work to other court employees.
The foregoing incidents demonstrate respondent Sahi's indifference to her work and lack of effort to improve despite already receiving unsatisfactory performance ratings for the first and second semesters of 2008.
Respondent Sahi's general denial carries little weight. As the preceding paragraphs will show, there are specific charges against her, supported by documentary evidence, which she had the opportunity to directly address and explain, but she merely glossed over. Her allegations that complainant Judge Alano was merely retaliating against her after she filed an administrative case against him; that the other complainants are mere stooges, subservient to complainant Judge Alano; that Judge Alano had been pressuring employees to leave the court; and that complainant Judge Alano gave her unsatisfactory performance rating because he did not like her from the very beginning, are all uncorroborated and self-serving.
In contrast, complainants have adequately shown that respondent Sahi's unsatisfactory performance ratings were warranted in view of the error-filled output she had consistently produced and her indifferent attitude towards her work. While it is true that respondent Sahi is merely human and may commit mistakes, there is simply no excuse for making the same mistakes repeatedly despite her superior constantly calling her attention to correct them.7 Granting that respondent Sahi was not good at using computers in the beginning, she should have taken steps to learn and hone her computer skills which were essential to her work.
The Court further reminded court employees in Rodrigo-Ebron v. Adolfo,9 that as public officers, they are bound to discharge their duties with care, caution, and attention which prudent men usually exercise in the management of their affairs; and that the image of a court of justice is mirrored in the conduct, official or otherwise, of the men and women who work in the judiciary, from the judge to the lowest of its personnel.
Respondent Sahi's actuations fell short of these exacting standards for court personnel.
Section 46(B)(4) of the Revised Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RRACCS) classifies inefficiency and incompetence in the performance of official duties as a grave offense and punishable by suspension ranging from 6 months and 1 day to 1 year, for the first offense, and dismissal for the second offense. At the same time, Section 48 of the RRACCS allows the Court to consider aggravating and mitigating circumstances in the determination of the penalty to be imposed on the erring public employee.
WHEREFORE, respondent Padma Latip Sahi is found GUILTY of inefficiency and incompetence and is FINED an amount equivalent to her two months salary, to be paid to the Court within 30 days from receipt of a copy of this Decision.

(Edit: Shortly after I emailed him this evening, Jonathan Pokluda emailed me back, demonstrating humility and charity as he expressed concern for me over and above his article. As I contemplated his kind words to me, I thought, "Would I respond with this much humility and charity if someone challenged one of my articles?" I don't know the answer to that, but I pray that I would/will, by God's grace.
It's not that I disagree with Jonathan Pokluda's advice in his article "How to Ruin Your Life in Your Twenties." It's that in his article he allowed little to no room for me and others like me. You see, I ruined my life in my twenties. I violated every single one of his resolutions. And, yet, although I ruined my life, my life is not ruined. And that's a paradox of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In his article, Pokluda gives seven ways to ruin your life in your twenties: 1. Do whatever you want. 2. Live Outside your means. 3. Feed your addiction. 4. Run with fools. 5. Believe this life is all about you. 6. Live for immediate gratification. And, 7. Avoid accountability.
In my twenties, I did whatever I wanted, living with the single-minded objective to gratify my desires. Throughout my twenties, I left angry creditors in the rearview mirror of my life. Every morning, day, and night, I ingested marijuana, or worse. I didn't just run with fools, I was the lead fool. Rejecting the God of the Bible my parents had faithfully taught me about, I believed with every ounce of my being that I was all that mattered. Because of that, immediate gratification was the primary variable I considered when making decisions. And accountability? From whom?
By the time I finally repented of my sins and placed my faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus at the age of twenty-nine, I had a series of ruined relationships to deal with, was unable to go to sleep at night without getting high, had no marketable skill sets outside of theatre, and had destroyed my credit. I was ruined.
This morning, fourteen year after having been saved from my sins and adopted into God's family, I clicked over to the article from The Gospel Coalition website. As I read it I began crying, wounded.
You see, in His providence, God has me going through a hard season where I am being asked to fully trust Him and His sovereignty and His full and final resolution for me that will be revealed on the Day of the Lord, when my King and Savior Jesus Christ returns. I'm in a season where my past failings and my past decisions are being used by my flesh in an attempt to suffocate me into self-pity and anger directed at myself and into doubting God's infinite goodness. Every morning, for the last two weeks, I've had to cry out to God to sustain me by His mercies, to cause me, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to continue to cling to Jesus, the rock of my salvation. Thankfully, by God's grace, He has done so.
And, so, by God's grace, I write this post to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ who, like me, have ruined their life. To them I implore, please do no steer into the word "ruined." Do not own that word. If you are repenting of your sins and placing your faith in Jesus, you cannot possibly be ruined because you are a child of the King of Kings. Yes, in this life you are being asked to navigate the consequences of your past actions. But, remember, your Savior and your King fully dealt with your ruinous actions on the cross, and God remembers them no more. Furthermore, Jesus' Spirit indwells you, giving you the power and strength to glorify God as you navigate the consequences of your past, ruinous actions. What a privilege! Pray for the grace to cling to Jesus and to live in a way that honors your Creator.
For those who ruined their life in their twenties and are attempting to navigate the consequences of your past action on your own power, please stop. Surrender. Let go of your rebellion and bow the knee before God in repentance of your sins and place your faith in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Doing so won't make this life magically better. But doing so does provide immediate meaning to your life. And that meaning is to glorify your Creator. What's more, if you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus, God will not leave you to deal with the consequences of your ruinous actions alone. His Spirit will carry you through to the final day when all your suffering, all your temptation, and all your sin will be utterly consumed, and you will be ushered into the physical presence of Jesus to spend all eternity in God's full and final rest.
Yes, what you do in your twenties will shape your thirties and your forties and beyond. But, no, you are not trapped by the foolish and sinful choices you made in your youth. No, who you are in your twenties does not determine who you are in your thirties, forties, and beyond, unless, of course, we are defining "who you are" purely in materialistic terms. Thankfully, God doesn't do so. He defines the identity of His adopted children by the identity of His perfectly obedient Son, Jesus Christ.
Although I ruined my life, I am not ruined because I am in Christ.
I came across the article about how to ruin your life in your 20s at a time this summer when I was desperate to have something to share with my 20-year-old son. God Was kind and gracious enough to make my husband and I aware that our son was headed down a very dark path. You see, there is no way we would've known if it weren't for the perception that God gives a mother. His grades were good at the highly reputable christian college, he was attending, he was holding down two jobs, and his attitude was fine. As parents who did not raise him perfectly, but honestly pointed him towards Jesus pretty much every day of his life, we were devastated. I find truth and relevance to the article about how to ruin your life in your 20s and also this latter one in response to it. Of course there is always hope and obviously the Bible is a story about redemption. However, there are always consequences to ignoring the will of God and just pretty much doing life your way because it seems great and fun at the time. The latter article spoke about consequences and of course I would want my son and everyone else to know that there is always hope and it's never too late to repent and find forgiveness in Jesus. Both articles were well written and hold so much truth. However, I would much rather that my son heed the warning of the first article then recklessly disregard it and arrogantly go his own way only to deal with the ramifications later. I truly believe that is part of the issue with Christians and young Christians now is this carefree attitude The gospel is all about Grace, and we hear very little about accountability and consequences of our sin. It's as if everyone is afraid that they might offend someone, and oh my goodness we have to be seeker friendly. My son has read Many articles like the latter one about hope and grace and forgiveness. That is what the modern church is all about. Hey if we drink then everyone will think that they're just like us and they will feel free to come to church, or hey if we cuss or hey if we laugh at their jokes then they won't feel that much different than us and they want to come to our church. Are you kidding me? What people want is something different and authenticity; they are not looking for people to act just like them. Kudos to the man who had guts enough to write an article warning my child and begging him to steer away from the life that could possibly take his life. Trust me he has heard plenty of articles like the latter about grace and forgiveness!!!!
I love this post. I especially love that you were treated with such grace by the author. I, too, know what it means to "ruin my life," except I did it in my 20s AND 30s. Always a "Christian," I was never really surrendering to Christ until the last few months. Boy, has it been a rollercoaster of Christ's peace and Satan's attacks. But I wouldn't trade it. Like you, I ruined things, but I am not ruined. I am loved. Thank you for such a wonderful post.

Q: printfn in pipeline So I have a function SolveEquasion that returns a pair float*float[]. What is the best way to print the number and the array and continue working with the array? I made the following code but it seems there is a better way

...
|> SolveEquasion
|> (fun (det, solution) -> printfn "Determinant = %f\nSolution = %A" det (Array.toList solution), solution )
|> snd

A: I don't think your solution can improved if you want to do this in a pipeline. Another approach is to use a let binding, along with splitting up the pipelined operations, to avoid having a function that acts like the love child of map and iter.
let (det, solution) = SolveEquasion
printfn "Determinant = %f\nSolution = %A" det (Array.toList solution)
//do something else with solution

A: I think the original solution is fine, and we can improve its clarity by giving your anonymous function the name I've seen it given in some other libraries based around pipelining higher-order functions:  tap.
let tap f x =
    f x
    x

(1.0, [| 2.0; 3.0 |])
|> tap (fun (s, a) -> printfn "%A %A" s a)
|> snd

A: Well, for one thing you can skip the use of snd by returning a single value rather than a tuple from the previous function:
...
|> SolveEquasion
|> (fun (det, solution) ->
        printfn "Determinant = %f\nSolution = %A" det (Array.toList solution)
        solution )

A: I'd probably use Daniel's approach and just assign the value you want to print to a symbol using let. Alternatively, you could define a variant of printf that takes some arguments and returns one of them. I'm not sure if there is a general scheme how this should be done - for your example it would take a two-element tuple:
let mprintf fmt (a, b) =
  Printf.kprintf (fun s -> printf "%s" s; (a, b)) fmt a b

Then you can write:
...
|> SolveEquasion
|> mprintfn "Determinant = %f\nSolution = %A"
|> snd |> // ... more stuff with solution

'It's excruciating pain', Florida woman says epidural is still lodged in back days after giving birth
PENSACOLA , Fla. -- A routine medical procedure went horribly wrong, leaving a new mother in excruciating pain.
Selena Gray has had an epidural lodged in her back since June 25, WEAR-TV reports.
"It's excruciating pain," said Gray.
Gray went into labor at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. At 7.3 pounds, Serenity made her debut a day later on June 26.
But perhaps the most memorable moment in this new mother's life is now tainted by what happened after she gave birth.
"Basically, my epidural looped itself into my spine," said Gray. "It's in a knot in my spine and they've been trying to tug at it and tug at it and I haven't been able to get up or move or do anything."
Feeling helpless, Gray checked herself out of Sacred Heart Hospital and transferred to Baptist Hospital, a few miles away.
Doctors there were hesitant to even touch her.
"They just keep telling me, 'In all my years, I haven't seen anything like this.' So basically, they're just as shocked as I am," said Gray.
Now, Gray is heading to Gainesville to University of Florida Health Shands Hospital. It's a six-hour journey in the back of an ambulance.
Once she gets there, Gray isn't even sure what to expect. With numbness already in her legs, she said she is not thinking about the worst-case scenario: paralysis.
Gray says she's just focused on getting help and getting home to her new bundle of joy.
"She's so cute and just alert, she has her big, brown eyes open," said Gray. "She's the best, she really can just make you so happy and I just want to be home with her."
Doctors at the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital were not available to respond to an interview request. Representatives at Sacred Heart and Baptist Hospitals declined to comment.

Two young boys come to the aid of a fugitive.
Two 14-year-old Arkansan boys, Ellis (Sheridan) and Neckbone (Lofland), discover a mysterious stranger, who calls himself 'Mud' (McConaughey), hiding out on a small island on the Mississippi river. When he tells them he's waiting to be reunited with the love of his life, Juniper (Witherspoon), the boys scoff until they see the woman buying groceries in town. With his own parents on the verge of divorce and his first love having just rejected him, Ellis sets about reuniting the two lovers. He soon discovers there are those who aren't so keen; a group of thugs employed by the father of Juniper's abusive boyfriend who died at the hands of Mud.
There was a time when the U.S led the world in narrative film-making. Whatever other faults you might have bestowed on them, American film-makers were traditionally cinema's greatest story-tellers. This tradition was partly killed off in the late sixties by the "movie brat" generation who saw conventional narrative film-making as old hat. By the 21st century the tradition was practically dead, with European and Asian writers leading the way as far as story structure went. The odd contemporary American movie with a well written and engaging story, such as 'The Shawshank Redemption' would come to be treated as manna from heaven but, pre-sixties, America produced these type of films on a weekly basis. Jeff Nichols' third feature, following the over-rated but promising 'Shotgun Stories' and 'Take Shelter', is a return to this tradition, a piece of old school American storytelling at its best.
When we think of American culture, we're more often than not thinking of the South. Most of the country's greatest writers, artists and musicians have come from below the Mason-Dixon line but the area hasn't fared so well on celluloid. The South usually falls victim to a cornball representation, with dodgy Northern actors attempting wildly over-the-top accents. Last year we had two of the worst representations of the South, one mocking ('Django Unchained'), one patronizing ('Beasts of the Southern Wild'). Nichols is a child of the South and the Arkansas we see in his films is not the one we know from the silver screen, rather the one seen by everyday folks from the back of a pick-up truck. He does for the South what David Lynch did for the Pacific NorthWest, representing its rugged beauty alongside its underlying darkness. Indeed, the theme of first love set against the dangers of the adult world explicitly recalls Lynch's 'Blue Velvet'. The film's villains, all skinny ties and slicked back hair, are straight out of Lynchland, that enticing world where America seems stuck in the fifties.
If you had told me the best movie of 2013 would star McConaughey and Witherspoon I would have feared for the state of cinema. A whole generation has grown up without the knowledge that, back in the nineties, the pair were considered two of the brightest lights of American independent cinema. A decade-plus of dreadful (un)romantic-comedies has since soured our perception of them. Here they get the chance to remind us of their potential with career best performances from both. Speaking of potential, young Sheridan shows us that his impressive turn in 'The Tree of Life' wasn't just a once off. Himself and Lofland are fantastic together, a double act way beyond their years but still convincing as naive teens.
'Mud' is easily the best movie about childhood since 'Stand By Me', a stunning portrayal of the confusion of entering manhood in a post-masculine world. There's no sagely, wise-beyond-his-years, advice from Nichols' protagonist Ellis. He sees the errors adults are making but, already at his young age, he is making the same mistakes himself and his youthful ideals are crushed by three different failing relationships throughout the film. There's no annoying voice-over telling us the lessons Ellis is learning, indeed the film's climax suggests no matter how many times he feels love's hoof in his belly, he'll keep climbing back on the horse. Like 'To the Wonder', Nichols' film tells us love, or at least its unattainable ideal, is worth fighting for, even if we're never really sure why.

Iowa DOT announces more than $3 million in available funding for electric school buses
Kerri Johannsen, 515-244-0123 ext. 208
Peter Gray, 312-629-9400
Iowa school districts can apply now for VW settlement funding to purchase electric school buses
DES MOINES, IA — Iowa school children may soon breathe easier thanks to $3.15 million in funding for cleaner school, shuttle, and transit buses recently announced by the Iowa Department of Transportation. School districts that apply by Jan. 18 will be eligible to receive funding.
Iowa DOT is accepting grant applications for the first round of funding created by the Volkswagen Diesel scandal lawsuits. Iowa will receive a total of approximately $21 million to replace dirty diesel vehicles and equipment as a result of the settlements.
While multiple bus technologies are eligible for funding, the Environmental Law & Policy Center and the Iowa Environmental Council advocated for the funds to be used for electric school buses because they will create long-term savings for taxpayers while protecting children's health and reducing air pollution. The operating cost of electric school buses is roughly half that of diesel buses due to lower fuel and maintenance costs. Investing VW settlement funds in electric buses will advance this emerging vehicle technology and help Iowa jump-start the transition to a cleaner transportation system.
Pollution from school buses has been shown to negatively affect children's health and is a major source of school children's exposure to black carbon. Diesel exhaust exacerbates asthma, the most common chronic health condition among U.S. children.
"Electric school buses make sense for our children's health and our school districts' budgets," said Steve Falck, senior policy advocate for the Environmental Law & Policy Center. "The Department of Transportation is making a smart move by helping put electric school buses on the road in Iowa."
"School districts want the savings and clean air benefits that electric school buses create," said Kerri Johannsen, energy program director with the Iowa Environmental Council. "This first round of funding will kick-start a new technology that creates long-term savings for Iowa communities."
Multiple states are piloting programs that use electric school buses as a source of flexible energy storage to improve electric grid stability. Across the Midwest, more than $20 million in funding for electric school buses has been announced — Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio have all dedicated funds from the VW settlement to invest in electric school buses. Information on the Iowa funding opportunity is available at the program website, https://www.iowadot.gov/vwsettlement.

Benoni Northerns Athletic Club
28 April 2010 17 May 2019 Modern AthleteColumns
Runners in Gauteng jokingly refer to them as the 'Cheese and Tomato Athletic Club' because of their distinctive yellow and red club colours. Athletes from KwaZulu-Natal prefer to call them the 'Superman Club', referring to the Superman-like logo on their vests. Call them what you want, one thing is for sure: the members of Benoni Northerns Athletic Club (BNAC) have an unbelievable spirit of camaraderie and are loads of fun on the road.
Running clubs in the East Rand are known for their good relationships and friendly rivalries. Back in their heydays it was no different. In the 80s, clubs such as Springs Striders, Germiston Callies and Boksburg Athletic Club were at the height of their popularity, and the friendly partnerships between them lead to the establishment of Benoni Northerns Athletic Club (BNAC). Because many of the runners who frequented these clubs lived in Benoni, they felt it was time for a club in their 'hometown'. And so in 1981, Benoni Northerns Athletic Club was born as a sub-division of Benoni Northerns, the local sports club. "It was not a breakaway, just a logical decision to form a club in the area where residents lived. Even today BNAC and Brooks Springs Striders have a very good relationship," says Paul M'Crystal, chairman of BNAC.
BENONI BEGINNINGS
The club started with about 60 members, with Martin Theron being selected as the first chairman. Other chairpersons included Les Dickensen, Danie Rossouw, Paul Godwin, Rian Van Wyk, Barry England, Dave Edwards, John Roux, Jan Jordaan, Norman Milne, Debbie Thornton, John Mitchell and Gerard Visser.
BNAC was a strong club right from the start; between 1981 and 1988 they had about 60 annual Comrades entrants with between 12 to 16 finishing with silver medals. Some of the well-known BNAC runners who excelled at Comrades include:
Tex Cullen has 25 Comrades medals. Tex and Dennis Jones are the only local runners who have run every Springs Striders 32km race since its inception in 1969.
Frith van der Merwe, 1989 Comrades winner, shattered the women's record becoming the first woman to break the magical sub six-hour barrier.
Valerie Bleazard was the fastest female novice to earn a gold medal (6:54).
Gary Turner placed fifth overall.
BNAC is still a part of the Benoni Northerns Sports Club, which has different divisions including soccer and hockey. The club is based at the Northern Areas Sports Grounds (Albert Bekker Park) in Northmead and their current athletic membership stands at about 500. Almost 200 members, including about 80 novices, have entered for Comrades 2010. "This is the biggest number of entries we have ever had for Comrades. It is an exciting time for running. The majority of our members concentrate on road running and walking, but we also have interests in triathlons, track and cross-country events. The sections of BNAC are very supportive of each other. They train together and just before Comrades each year, the walkers host a social event for all Comrades runners," says Paul.
TRAINING ON SCHEDULE
Most members train together six days a week and generally stick to the following schedule:
Tuesday and Friday
Runners and walkers meet at 5:15am at the club for a 10km run. "The faster guys keep on going back to fetch the slower bunch. We don't want to leave anyone behind. When one starts running, you feel left behind when you are right at the back. If everybody has to wait for you, it feels even worse.
That's why we implemented this system where the fast runners keep on turning back. It does wonders for club spirit," says Paul.
Members gather at 17:45pm at the clubhouse for a 12-14km run. As Comrades approaches, mileage increases to about 20km. Often members only finish at about 20:00. There are four schools: a fast group, a Bill Rowan medal school, a medium pace school and a group who prefer not to focus on Comrades or long races. "We all follow the same route. These runs are usually great fun and very festive."
The club has implemented a new training session on a Wednesday morning in which runners train to walk, and not to run! "Some of our runners read an article saying walking can improve their running. They immediately tried it out. Runners slowly jog to a certain point, walk briskly up and down some hills before slowly jogging back. This has been received well by our members, from the walkers to the Comrades runners who know they walk a lot at Comrades."
Walkers and runners get together on the corner of Langenhoven and Wilge Street for a hill session which consists of 400m hill repeats.
Athletes meet every Saturday at 6:00am at the Virgin Active gym in Bedfordview for an 18-36km long run, depending on the time of season. "These are well attended and sometimes we have up to 100 runners," says Paul.
Sundays are reserved for an easy 'plot trot' in the East Rand or a race. "Anybody can join in on our training. We encourage participation. Just because you don't belong to our club does not mean you can't run with us," says Paul.
TAKING THEIR TIME
Time trials (4km/8km) are run every Tuesday night at 17:45pm on the corner of Kei and Wilge Road (close to the Homestead Dam) in Farrarmere. It is a fast and flat time trial with no major hills. "Our time trial attracts a lot of members from the East Rand kayaking community. There are also a few school kids from the neighbourhood who have joined in. It is wonderful when the community participates; that is what it is all about."
On the last Tuesday of every month the time trial venue moves to the nearby Ebotse Golfing Estate to provide members with something different. The route is run through the beautiful and peaceful golfing estate.
THE SOCIAL SCENE
Wednesday evenings are reserved for social nights. After the Wednesday night run, members get together for some refreshments at the clubhouse, and once a month, they fire up the braai. Often experienced runners will use this time to advise on different subjects such as nutrition or training. "We have found these talks not only help novices, but also experienced runners who sometimes need to be reminded of basic principles."
At most big races members are well looked after and a supply of refreshments is always on hand at the club gazebo. "This is another way we build camaraderie. Novices often feel more comfortable asking more experienced runners for advice in an environment like this. We all have fun. Our gazebo is often the very last one to come down after a race. Races have become like a family event. We encourage family involvement, healthy living and fun," says Paul.
The club has a traditional Aches and Pains party after Comrades where various prizes are handed out. Before Comrades, runners pay R10 and predict their own, or someone else's, finishing time. The one closest to their predicted time wins the money! Another fun and encouraging aspect to Comrades is when the runners are divided into different Comrades groups. "If you bail, your group is immediately disqualified. This usually means runners from the same group encourage and motivate each other. At the Aches and Pains party we hand out a prize for the group with the fastest average time."
RACING BENONI
BNAC hosts the annual Slow-Mag Marathon (5/21.1/42.2km), which will be held on 11 April this year. This race usually attracts close to 3 000 athletes and is often very popular, as many runners see it as one of the last Comrades qualifiers. "We are very lucky to have such a great sponsor as Slow-Mag on board. This year will be the 18th year that they are sponsoring us," says Paul.
BNAC also hosts the annual Rowlin National Brokers 5/10/15km night race, taking place on 17 November this year. "This race has become synonymous with rain! It rains nearly every year, but a fair amount of runners still support us."
The camaraderie and friendliness of its members is what makes BNAC stand out, Paul explains. "No matter if you are first or last at a training run or at a race, there will always be someone waiting for you and congratulating you, often with a cold beer in hand!"

The double Windsor knot is named after the Duke of Windsor and is a more symmetric, large and thicker type of knot. The double Windsor knot is best used with dress shirts that have wide-spread collars.
Because the style of the knot is thicker and wider, more length is required from the tie to achieve the look. Taller men may consider using XL length ties instead. The overall knot makes for a classy, balanced look.
Adjust and tighten to neaten the knot and place your collar back down over the necktie. Your Double Windsor Knot is complete!

Nonsense on Stilts (Paperback)
By Massimo Pigliucci
University of Chicago Press, 9780226495996, 336pp.
Recent polls suggest that fewer than 40 percent of Americans believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, despite it being one of science's best-established findings. Parents still refuse to vaccinate their children for fear it causes autism, though this link has been consistently disproved. And about 40 percent of Americans believe that the threat of global warming is exaggerated, including many political leaders.
In this era of fake news and alternative facts, there is more bunk than ever. But why do people believe in it? And what causes them to embrace such pseudoscientific beliefs and practices? In this fully revised second edition, noted skeptic Massimo Pigliucci sets out to separate the fact from the fantasy in an entertaining exploration of the nature of science, the borderlands of fringe science, and—borrowing a famous phrase from philosopher Jeremy Bentham—the nonsense on stilts. Presenting case studies on a number of controversial topics, Pigliucci cuts through the ambiguity surrounding science to look more closely at how science is conducted, how it is disseminated, how it is interpreted, and what it means to our society. The result is in many ways a "taxonomy of bunk" that explores the intersection of science and culture at large.
No one—neither the public intellectuals in the culture wars between defenders and detractors of science nor the believers of pseudoscience themselves—is spared Pigliucci's incisive analysis in this timely reminder of the need to maintain a line between expertise and assumption. Broad in scope and implication, Nonsense on Stilts is a captivating guide for the intelligent citizen who wishes to make up her own mind while navigating the perilous debates that will shape the future of our planet.
Massimo Pigliucci is the K. D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York. He is the author of many books, including, most recently, How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life.
Praise For Nonsense on Stilts…
"How can we decide what counts as science? That is the central question of this brilliant book, which ought to be required reading for, well, everyone."
— Amanda Gefter
"Pigliucci's book serves a seriously worthwhile purpose: that of giving you, the reader, tools and instructions for assembling your very own 'baloney-detector.' Armed with this, you stand a vastly improved chance of separating the wheat of reliable knowledge from the chaff of fashionable nonsense in your daily harvest of data."
— Lou Marinoff
"A tour of solid science, shaky science, and pseudoscience, this crash course in critical thinking by biologist and philosopher Pigliucci includes handy rules for evaluating the confused public discourse on climate change, evolution, and even UFOs."
— Discover, on the first edition
"Pigliucci's attack of high-stilted nonsense not only offers a great service in a world that is littered with irrational beliefs and pseudoscience, it is also an incisive and philosophically informed analysis of the nature of science and the pursuit of reliable knowledge. With books like [this] on the shelf, it is clear that there is more to skepticism than intellectual garbage disposal."
— Metascience, on the first edition


Martin reminded viewers when the South surrendered and ended the Civil War in 1865, it was General Robert E. Lee who ordered Confederate soldiers to store the flag in attics and never have it appear again. It wasn't until the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s that the flag reemerged.
Be explained much of Mississippi's economy is based on tourism and as a result of the Confederate battle emblem, their economy is suffering.

An early drawing of the battery by its discoverer, the scientist at the University of Pavia after whom the College is named.
The new North Wing, completed in 2013, houses the 78 graduate members of College as well as 5 short term visitors.
The College welcomes enquiries and applications from prospective PhD students. Further details under 'Admissions'.
The College has access to a number of schemes to enable its students to study abroad (see 'Academic Life').
The College is sorry to report that the breakfast room in the South wing was damaged during the night between the 4th and 5th of November. The damage involved the plastic cover of the radiator switches and one of the food dispensers.
The action was inappropriate and the College expects that the student(s) who have caused the damage will come forward and take responsibility for the action before Friday the 13th of November at 12.00 noon in the College office in order to avoid a general response from College that would inevitably - and sadly - affect the whole College community.
Should the student(s) responsible for the damage fail to step forward, the College will close the breakfast rooms (G62-65 and G206), ping pong and table soccer room (G80), tv rooms (GG82 and G205) and gym (F75 and F76) between Friday 13th and Monday 16th of November 2015. It will also lift € 10 from the deposit account of each student - the minimal charge College Office can handle - in order to pay for the repairs.

Lyft passengers with genuine rude-sounding names threatened with bans
Credit: Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash
US ride-sharing firm Lyft is restricting the accounts of users with unfortunately rude-sounding names, according to many users with giggle-worthy monickers.
The Uber rival is sending notifications to users who are genuinely named Cocks, Dick, Finger and Cummings. The notification says the Lyft account doesn't align with the firm's community guidelines and threatens to kick them from the service if it isn't changed to something PG.
Lyft asks users to update their display name by a certain date, because it requires "all members of the Lyft community be respectful to help create a comfortable ride for all." (via The Verge)
Those would-be passengers who happen to have a little double-entendre in their surnames are naturally asking what they're supposed to do in order to avoid the censor, which due to an over-active algorithm.
Related: Best phone 2019
"Dear @lyft – My last name really is 'Cocks'. How would you like me to proceed?" wrote Kevin Cocks on Twitter, while Mike Finger told the firm: "Hey, @lyft, I realize it might be hard to believe, but it's really my name, and you need to get your mind out of the gutter."
It's not only Lyft users like Jen Dick and a Mr. Cumming, who're experiencing the issues. Lyft's algorithm is even flagging non-English sounding names, as you can see from the tweets below.
Hello @lyft
You recently sent me an email to change the name on my account because it's not in line with your community guidelines. My name is Bubunyo and if you are expecting me to use an English name, it won't happen cos I'm not English. You might as well just ban me.
Yours.
— Local Man (@KiddBubu) December 19, 2019
Same thing happened to me, but I knew exactly why they flagged my name. (I contacted them via @AskLyft and they're looking into it.) I'm guessing it's Scunthorpe Problem (https://t.co/IRUpGzjGO3)
— Jen Dick (@Jennifer_Dick) December 19, 2019
The latter's problem appears to be that he has the word within 'pimp' in his name in some sort of rude word word search, leading some to believe it's a recurrence of the Scunthorpe problem, which had previously stopped people from the town using that username because of the presence of the worst four letter word within.
A Lyft spokesperson said the company had "cast too wide of a net" when trying to prevent offensive or inaccurate usernames. The company added: "We were well-intentioned, but our response clearly led to errors that we are working to correct, and we apologise."


Nominations for the position of Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are welcomed.
Miriam Smith has advised that she will no longer be able to attend Forum meetings due to work commitments. A replacement attendee will be identified and announced in due course.
During the period 2017/2018 the Local Licensing Forum has welcomed Susan Dunn, Louise Grant, Adam Grant and Martin Robb as new members.


Thank goodness it's summer! At last I managed to make my beach scene on the building platform so I can show you all the summer goodies. The main one today is the Beach Burger Shack from KraftWork, currently available at Knot & Co. Event. It's great fun with all the poses, there are animation sets for up to four avatars – inside and outside the burger shack.
Here, I'm leaning on the steps up to the kitchen of the burger shack and the seagull has already got here before me and has chips to eat! This saves him robbing other people. I'm wearing the Swear Shorts from Lapointe & Bastchild, currently showing at Second Pride, and you can pick up a free unisex texture change HUD bracelet from their store, too. These shorts, which are so well made by L&B, have lots of versions for Mesh bodies including Aesthetic and Jake, also a Standard Classic version which I used here as the ADAM body takes all the standard mesh very easily.
I was using the Max head skin for the ADAM Bento head. Try out the demo first. It shows some wear to the face with eye bags and a few lines etched into the skin and makes an interesting change from the usual youth obsession. You can make lots of subtle changes to this skin which will suit the various shades given here, via the ADAM HUD.
Here's the burger shack from the front. As it is fully modify, you can tint the outside walls and chairs any colour you like. I went with the pastels as it suits summer scenes so well.
KraftWork Beach Burger Shack – LI 81 – Footprint 10 by 9 – Copy/Modify – 8 poses for friends – these are animations sets for up to 4 avatars, inside and outside poses, great fun 🙂 – and you can tint the external walls and chairs. Released at Knot & Co.

Q: Login PDO script gives an error of `Call to a member function blind_param() on boolean` I have this login code while I tried exactly what the tutorial said, yet it gave me this error :

Call to a member function blind_param() on boolean

The code goes as:
<?php

include ('db.php');

$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = ?"."AND password = ?";

$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);

$stmt->blind_param('ss',$_POST['email'],$_POST['password']);

$stmt->execute();

$stmt->blind_result($id);

if($stmt->fetch())
{
    echo 'loggin in';
} else {
    echo 'try again';
}

Any Help is Greatly Appreciated..

A: $stmt -> bindParam(1,$_POST['email']);
$stmt -> bindParam(2,$_POST['password']);

For a prepared statement using question mark placeholders, this will be the 1-indexed position of the parameter.
see:http://php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.bindparam.php

A: You query missing a space between ? and AND :
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE email = ? "."AND password = ?";

So, $conn->prepare($sql); fails and $stmt is false.
You should ever test the results of the functions :
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
if (!$stmt) { /* handle error */ }
else {
   $stmt->bind_param(...);
}

NB: PDO uses bindParam(), MySQLi uses bind_param() and bind_result().

Life as We Knew It (Compact Disc)
By Susan Beth Pfeffer, Emily Bauer (Read by)
This book is currently on backorder. Please call or email for availability.
When Miranda first hears the warnings that a meteor is headed on a collision path with the moon, they just sound like an excuse for extra homework assignments. But her disbelief turns to fear in a split second as the entire world witnesses a lunar impact that knocks the moon closer in orbit, catastrophically altering the earth's climate.
Everything else in Miranda's life fades away as supermarkets run out of food, gas goes up to more than ten dollars a gallon, and school is closed indefinitely. But what Miranda and her family don't realize is that the worst is yet to come.
Told in Miranda's diary entries, this is a heart-pounding account of her struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all–hope–in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar time.
Susan Beth Pfeffer is the author of more than seventy books for children and young adults. Her bestselling book "The Year Without Michael" received a starred review from "School Library Journal.

Attawapiskat has lived through several states of emergency, but its people also have stories of hope, strength, and resistance.
There is much to love about Attawapiskat, despite the tough circumstances it faces – the northern Ontario community declared a state of emergency in April because of an escalating rate of youth suicide attempts. During my most recent stay there this June as a visiting art educator, I witnessed the strength and beauty of its young people. The collaborative project "Reimagining Attawapiskat" brings University of Victoria researchers together with artists from Attawapiskat to circulate images created by community members on their own terms. High school art teacher Mandy Alves and I together spoke about visions and dreams, hopes and fears and challenges of the past, and we imagined brighter days for the generations to come.
Outside the classroom, we swam in the river, watched several sunsets, and on graduation day we danced into the wee hours of the night to honour the impressive 17 high school graduates who crossed the stage to receive their diploma on June 25.
Proud teachers, students and staff from Vezina Secondary School stand tall during the graduation ceremony.
Several of these graduates express their appreciation for their home through music, dancing and drumming. Videos co-produced by artists from inside and outside the community documented how community members are taking action and walking together to address health and wellness. Though the media continues to portray Attawapiskat as a "troubled" community, my aim is to tell a different story about the beauty and strength of the young people who call this place their home.
The Attawapiskat River, a vibrant place of activities ranging from swimming to paddling to fishing.
State of emergency declarations draw the public's attention to what life is like living on the edge — between hope and despair, on the fringes of mainstream society. Unfortunately, the spotlight can over-emphasize despair. It is just as important to honour stories of hope, strength, and resistance. Community member and artist Priscella Rose said it best a few years ago, reminding people that her community is so much "more than a housing crisis." Another youth leader, Chelsea Edwards, drew our attention to the challenges, but also to the beauty of this place. Her community, she noted, is rich in language and culture.
In this hymnal, the hymns were translated from French into Cree by the late Father Vezina, for whom the high school is also named.
A few weeks after the state of emergency declaration, young people in Attawapiskat began a healing walk along the 300km winter road that connects communities along the western shores of James Bay, to demonstrate support and raise awareness about the need for mental health services. Just a few years earlier, in 2014, community members walked over 1,000km to Ottawa seeking a renewed conversation about treaty relations. In these ways the community, young and old, mobilizes for change.

Of course, Canadians should not be naïve about the systemic injustices people in Attawapiskat face. The state of emergency declaration in April (the fifth in a decade) signalled the need for a much broader conversation about how we treat communities in crisis, how to deal with the long-standing environmental problems (such as flooding and sewage backups), and how to renew respect for treaty relationships. Attawapiskat Chief Bruce Shisheesh has said that mental health is an all-consuming concern and that his is a community in pain. His words echo those of former chief Theresa Spence, who held a high-profile hunger strike in December 2012 to raise awareness about the dire situation facing her community specifically, and Indigenous peoples generally. Bruce and Theresa both inform us about how difficult it is to stay positive in the face of the long-term problems caused by inadequate infrastructure and Canada's colonial legacy. These complicated feelings of grief resonate throughout the community, voiced by individuals of all ages.
Keisha and Janelle organize donations for distribution to the community.
During her hunger strike, Theresa expressed the need for an invigorated debate about treaties like Treaty 9, signed in 1905, that governs the area. The treaty involved federal, provincial and Indigenous authorities from the James Bay region, Toronto and Ottawa. When Theresa and I spoke this February in Timmins, she reminded me that I am part of the treaty too. All Canadians are.
When I left Attawapiskat (via Timmins) a few weeks ago to return to my home in British Columbia, I had the good fortune of running into Indigenous motivational speaker Stan Wesley. We spoke about his experiences facilitating a meeting between James Bay youth leaders and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in June 2016. I mentioned the "Reimagining Attawapiskat" project and my interest in treaty relations. He suggested convening a national conversation in 2017 to celebrate Treaty 9. Cities such as Timmins, where we ran into each other at the airport, have a role to play in these discussions. All levels of government must be part of this conversation for there to be a real exchange about the treaty. Public officials and the media have a role to play to enhance and deepen this conversation. They have a responsibility (as noted in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action) to reframe the debates and circulate knowledge to a wider public audience in ways that are culturally respectful and nuanced.

To reimagine Attawapiskat, we need to look at the past, so we can move forward together to find a decolonized future. When we focus on despair, emergencies, and grief, we miss the rich stories that ground communities in place. Celebrating these stories and bringing in a spectrum of voices across backgrounds and generations is crucial if we are to have a meaningful dialogue about reconciliation.
