American Apparel needs to update its image to attract Generation Z
25 April 2018	(Last Updated May 8th, 2018 14:38)
American Apparel relaunched its UK website on 23 April 2018, two years since the clothing specialist shuttered UK stores after spiralling into administration.

American Apparel relaunched its UK website on 23 April 2018, two years since the clothing specialist shuttered UK stores after spiralling into administration. Although the brand's new management is striving for a fresh viewpoint, it stocks extremely similar clothing to its previous collection and despite vowing to stay clear of its often controversial marketing campaigns, racy archive images are still being used on its UK website. This leads GlobalData to believe its overall offer has not adapted enough to appeal to a new generation of young fashion shoppers.
American Apparel before
The once iconic brand was a popular import from LA, selling high-priced 'sweatshop free' cotton basics. Before it closed the retailer boasted 13 stores across the UK and was the quintessentially cool brand of the late noughties. However, it made the fatal error of failing to evolve its basic collection to account for changing fashion trends and was therefore left behind when loyal American Apparel shoppers grew up and found more choice available at its competitors.
What's more its lewd advertising campaigns, coupled with the tarnished reputation of founder Dov Charney after allegations of harassment, left shoppers uneasy with the brand's moral stance despite marketing itself as an ethical retailer, contradicting the brand values American Apparel prided itself on.
American Apparel after
New management wants to address previous issues while maintaining its reputation for high quality basics. Firstly, it has attempted to learn from earlier mistakes, announcing plans to remove contentious advertising campaigns and focusing marketing around diversity, empowerment and inclusion. This is likely to resonate with millennial and Generation Z shoppers who are increasingly concerned about political and ethical issues. However, its UK website is still using archive images in online look books, suggesting not enough has changed to improve some consumers' negative perception of the brand. It has also added fuller figured models to its campaign and is offering shoppers a chance to purchase larger sizes for the first time, appealing to the growing plus size population.
Secondly, it promises more accessible price points, while not sacrificing on quality. Products are cheaper as it has diversified its sourcing locations and is now selling goods made outside of the US (before all products were manufactured in LA). For some styles two identical products are offered, one 'made in USA' and one 'globally made', with the latter up to a third cheaper. In reality it seems unlikely that many shoppers will chose the more expensive options particularly as both styles promise to be 'sweatshop' free, indicating dual production may soon be scrapped if sales do not warrant it.
In general prices are noticeably lower than previously offered, for instance its iconic 'disco pants' currently retail for £62 versus £74 pre-administration. Although these prices are arguably more accessible, with its target demographic still young, shoppers may be unwilling to pay this much for basics, especially considering the rise in fast fashion online players: ASOS and boohoo.com, that offer similar products for less. Moreover, it does not have a UK distribution centre currently, meaning shipping is costly and standard delivery takes between 9–15 days, making its offer uncompetitive compared to other online pureplays.
Work needs to be done to ensure its offer appeals to Generation Z
With many original American Apparel shoppers now in their late twenties or early thirties, it must work hard to grow its appeal among Generation Z consumers, so it can once again become a go-to destination brand for younger shoppers. It has attempted to capture this audience by introducing the #AASelfie, where consumers can tag themselves on Instagram when they are wearing American Apparel clothing and also creating an online blog featuring influencers such as artists, designers and journalists. However, with the majority of styles on offer remaining unchanged since the mid-noughties it will need to do more to engage shoppers, particularly given the increasingly competitive landscape the retailer is now operating in. It must modernise its assortment to incorporate fast-fashion styles alongside classic pieces to attract younger shoppers and re-establish its trendy image.

Saudi cluster bombs: Textron wins $641 million deal to build these illegal bombs

Textron wins $641 million deal to build Saudi cluster bombs
Reporting by Andrea Shalal-Esa; Editing by Bob Burgdorfer. Tue Aug 20, 2013
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Textron Defense Systems, a unit of Textron Inc (TXT.N), has won a U.S. Air Force contract valued at $641 million to build 1,300 cluster bombs for Saudi Arabia, the U.S. Defense Department and Textron said on Tuesday.
The contract, which runs through the end of 2015, formalizes the sale of Textron's CBU-105 cluster bombers to Saudi Arabia, a deal that was first notified to Congress in December 2010.
The Pentagon's daily digest of major arms sales said $410 million in foreign military sales funds were being obligated for the Saudi work at this time.
Textron said the CBU-105, also known as a Sensor Fuzed Weapon, meets the Pentagon's policy on cluster munitions, which requires that they must not result in more than 1 percent unexploded ordnance, or duds.
Company spokesman Stephen Greene said the Sensor Fuzed Weapon has a greater than 99.6 percent reliability rate, which means that it may yield a dud less than 0.5 percent of the time.
He said the U.S. Air Force had also verified that if a dud were to reach the ground, it would be inert and safe to handle in under two minutes. (Every one is killed, and Not maimed?)
The Air Force had no immediate comment on details of the contract announcement
Note: So the USA and Saudi Kingdom were planning their pre-emptive war on Yemen since 2010?

Did you grow up poor? The odds are stacked against your success in Silicon Valley
In: biographies/books | economy/finance | education methods/programs | Essays | Events/Cultural/Educational/Arts | social articles
Why it's so hard to succeed in Silicon Valley when you grew up poor
by Ricky Yean on January 27, 2016
I've been collaborating with my college classmate David Tran on our start-up since 2010.
In some ways, our story is typical for a startup: We went through the mentorship at Y Combinator and StartX, raised seed funding, and then launched.
We introduced Crowdbooster to help thousands of organizations around the world use data to improve their Facebook and Twitter performance. Our newest product is PRX.co, where we're building software that delivers PR services on demand.
But our story is unique in one crucial way: David and I both grew up in poverty.
We can call ourselves "battle-tested" when it comes to both life and startups. So when the talk in the Valley turned to income inequality recently, our ears perked up. For a moment, our two worlds were colliding.
Building and sustaining a company that is "designed to grow fast" is especially hard if you grew up desperately poor
Here's a quote from Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham that got our attention.
"Closely related to poverty is lack of social mobility," he wrote. "I've seen this myself: you don't have to grow up rich or even upper middle class to get rich as a startup founder, but few successful founders grew up desperately poor."
Graham was right, and it's a truth David and I are intimately aware of as startup founders.
Not only are the cards stacked against us to even have the opportunity to found a startup, but building and sustaining a company that is "designed to grow fast" is especially hard if you grew up desperately poor.
We have been fighting this very idea since starting our company in 2010, and we've gotten pretty good at it. The main problem is what David and I call mindset inequality.
To really understand it, I need to put you in my shoes. Let me take you on a personal journey.
When I was 11, I moved to the United States with my dad, to Granada Hills in Los Angeles. We were broke in Taiwan. I picked up the English language; my dad did not. He also didn't work, so I started working when I was 14 by doing all kinds of odd jobs.
On top of that, I did all the things immigrant kids are familiar with, like translating or simply handling all the business with landlords, bills, government services, insurance, etc.
I'm 28, I just quit my tech job, and I never want another job again
I was smart, but I wasn't very good at school, and not knowing the language definitely didn't help.
My standardized test scores were bad enough that when I decided to take school more seriously in high school, my counselor actively discouraged me from taking even just one honors-level course.
I had to bring my dad to the office the next day and told him to pretend to say some words in Mandarin while I just demanded that I get put in an honors-level English class. I got a B in that class, and that was enough to start taking some AP courses the next year.
High school was no joke for me. I was so underprepared and didn't know how to learn that I basically committed to sleeping only three hours a night and reread the same chapters in the textbook three times to force myself to memorize the material.
I came to school every day with bloodshot eyes. One time I got a stress-induced bald spot that was pretty embarrassing, so I learned to develop a sense of humor.
I found out about the SATs in 10th grade. I took a mock test and scored around a 900 (out of 1600), and panicked because I knew college was my way out.
I took the money I made at my odd jobs, and instead of helping to pay the bills I paid for a few SAT classes at Elite Education Prep in my neighborhood.
When it came time to renew, I told them I couldn't pay anymore, but the amazing folks at Elite decided to just let me take classes for free and supplied me with all the study materials. I ultimately scored high enough that they put my picture up on the window to market to more students.
You can imagine how lucky I felt when I got into Stanford on basically a full ride (Go Card!). I spent my first year perpetually awestruck. All these amazing individuals to talk to. All these great resources to access.
Stanford successfully created this physical and financial bubble around me that meant that for the first time in my life, I didn't have to think too much about money.
That was extremely empowering. I felt like I was just like my peers and that I could do anything. I can't emphasize this enough, so I'm just going to say it again. During my first year at Stanford, I felt so empowered I believed I could do anything.
Of course, that was an illusion.
Reality quickly set in. I took an "elective" course about contemporary African politics my first quarter and I received a C+ despite grade inflation.
I didn't know how to talk in a small, discussion-based class of 12 students. I was scared. I was quiet. I didn't know how to read or skim the volume of reading we were given, so I was stupidly trying to read week 1 materials word for word during week 4. I didn't know how to think critically about what I was reading.
At one point, Professor Weinstein sat me down during office hours to ask me what was wrong and how he could help. I didn't even know what to tell him.
In the dorm, where I was constantly inspired by my peers, I noticed that everyone I talked to played an instrument, which made me feel out of place. Instead of moving on, I surveyed the rest of my dorm to see who else played an instrument, only to learn that I was the odd one out. Just a poor kid out of place. Not good enough.
Being poor makes you suck at using money as a resource. My time was always cheaper growing up, so I'd rather spend time than spend money.
Sophomore year was when it all fell apart. Like many of my peers, I didn't know what I wanted to do, so like them, I decided to do everything. I joined a bunch of clubs while the classes got harder. Soon enough, I fell into a slump.
When you're in a slump, you start to look around and find even more ways to show yourself that you're not good enough.
I'd go to the same classes with friends and dormmates, but then I'd notice how fast they were learning the concepts while I was struggling. I asked one of them to tutor me, and even then I wasn't keeping up. On top of that, the extracurricular commitments I picked up totally overwhelmed me, so I shirked many of my club duties.
I also noticed that in order to keep up socially, I had to spend money to participate in a lot of activities, like going out to movies or on dorm ski trips — and that was on top of having to buy my own books. I remember having to borrow a few hundred bucks from one of my best friends while I applied for another loan to cover the expenses.
I remember running to the student loan office crying because I felt so bad. I told the loan officer I needed the money as soon as possible because I didn't want the lack of money to ruin friendships the way it had ruined so many other things before.
I spent the next 48 hours basically stressed as fuck until the loan money showed up in my account and I paid him back. He's still one of my best friends to this day.
The money problem was hanging over me the entire time in school.
I'd get calls from home about money, but there wasn't much I could do other than picking up a side tutoring gig. I remember lashing out at my dad on the phone because I didn't want to carry him around as baggage while I was trying to get through Stanford like a "normal" student.
I didn't want to have a lesser, second-rate experience. I so desperately wanted to maintain the illusion that I was on equal footing. I wanted to believe that there wasn't anything holding me back from achieving, that I'd get through this.
I went on a trip led by Kimber Lockhart and Andi Kleissner to visit social enterprises in the Bay Area. I learned about entrepreneurship through companies like Kiva and World of Good. The two of them suggested that I join BASES, the Stanford student group for entrepreneurial minds. Then I fell in love.
I attended Y Combinator's Startup School the same year Jeff Bezos announced Amazon Web Services.
I ended up finding my niche at Stanford as the co-president for both BASES and AKPsi, a coed pre-business fraternity. I worked as a young VC at Alsop Louie Partners, where Stewart Alsop gave me my first Apple product (his old MacBook), and then I interned at Eventbrite, where Kevin Hartz saw something in me that I wasn't even aware of myself.
I became "that guy" on campus who was the most gung-ho about entrepreneurship. I learned how to execute, and then I learned how to lead. My side project with David became a startup that got funded by Y Combinator. We raised money, built Crowdbooster to profitability, and now are building PRX, which is an even bigger idea to offer PR services on demand. It's well on its way.
What is mindset inequality?
With that story in mind, now let me explain mindset inequality and why "very few successful founders grew up desperately poor."
I was lucky that I found something I loved in entrepreneurship, which helped me focus my energies away from academic classes. I was lucky I found out that I was good with people and loved organizing and leading teams to achieve great things. I was lucky there were no other traumatic events that knocked me further into the deep end.
I could've easily given in to the realities, dropped out, or just given up the illusion that I was the same as my peers and adjusted my goals — except I chose to start a company. Starting a company for me was the ultimate declaration that I wanted to hold on to the illusion and continued to believe that I could do anything.
But because I fought hard to maintain this illusion for myself all through Stanford and while building the startup, I'm extremely aware of the disconnect to reality.
The world is clearly not a level playing field. Just with myself and my experience, I can see a lot of buggy code in my mind's operating system that isn't conducive to building a successful startup. Here are some of the issues with my default mindset that I've had to fix over time.
One example of a poor mindset is to minimize conflict, because fucking up is costly and opportunities are hard to come by, so I have trouble putting my ideas out there and defending them.
I often hear about people having intelligent conversations at home with their parents. I never ate at the dinner table, because we didn't have one in the one-bedroom apartment I shared with my dad. You can imagine how this translates to pitching your startup. The idea of putting my grand idea out there and vigorously defending it to investors trying to tear it apart was new and counterintuitive.
Related to that, a poor founder tends to be less confident.
My mom, who didn't go to college, used to say this to me, and it bothered me a lot: "We're not meant to be successful, so what you've achieved is good enough!" Compare that level of confidence to a kid with successful parents who'd say something along the lines of, "If you can believe it, you can achieve it!"
Now imagine walking into a VC office having to compete with that kid. He's so convinced that he's going to change the world, and that's going to show in his pitch. You can't just muster up that confidence on the spot.
I don't have "friends and family" money to get going. In fact, I'm sending money to my dad every month from the measly income I take out from my startup.
Then there's knowing how to manage resources. Being poor makes you suck at using money as a resource.
My time was always cheaper growing up, so I'd rather spend time than spend money. I had to fix this when we raised our first seed round, but it took quite some time.
A simple decision to hire, for example, took a very long time because we weren't comfortable spending money on hiring talented people to help us move faster.
Then there are also human resources, networks of people who can help you. Again, growing up poor meant that there weren't successful aunts and uncles who could show me the ways of the world or even give me a little nudge in the right direction.
I've had to learn to work the room, to talk to and talk like a successful person, and to know how to ask for help.
I've also noticed the huge difference having some built-in resources can make. I don't have "friends and family" money to get going. In fact, I'm sending money to my dad every month from the measly income I take out from my startup. Knowing that you have "friends and family" money to get going or even some family money to help you when you fail makes it that much easier to be more risk-seeking and build the appetite for hyper-growth startups.
Most of the time, potential founders who share my background tend to work at lucrative jobs in finance or tech until they can take care of everyone in their families before they even dream about taking more risks — if they ever get there.
Finally, there's the constant guilt. If you have a Stanford degree and share my background, you're likely the only one they can count on at home. You most likely would have the opportunity to work in safer and more lucrative careers that would be of more immediate help to your family.
It's very irresponsible to pursue the startup path, and even if you do succeed in upgrading your mind software to get rid of all the bugs I mentioned above, you start to sound and act differently from the people you grew up with.
You might even get accused of losing your identity. This is why successful rappers are told they're turning their backs on their communities all the time.
All of this contributes to the mindset inequality that founders like David and I have to overcome. We think this is the reason why poor founders tend not to be successful. Fortunately for us, we consider this the biggest chip on our shoulders, a known bug in our mind software. We've overcome so many of these issues, and we'll keep chipping away at it until we win.
But for others, I think it's important to note this: Tangible inequalities — that which can be seen and measured, like money or access — get the majority of the attention, and deservedly so.
But inequalities that live in your mind can keep the deck stacked against you long after you've made it out of the one-room apartment you shared with your dad. This is insidious, difficult to discuss, and takes a long essay to explain.
David and I are living proof that if we can upgrade and improve the way we think, and overcome our mindset inequality, then maybe we can help others do the same. For me, that starts with sharing my story so far. Stay tuned.

Brilliant Ways Sweden Recycles Its Garbage
In: economy/finance | education methods/programs | engineering/research/experiments | Essays | social articles
Recycling in Sweden has become part of their way of life.
They take it very seriously, so seriously in fact, that when they run out of garbage to recycle they will even import trash from other countries to turn it into energy.
Imagine if all countries were so good at recycling their own waste!
Here are a few things we can learn from the Swedes about recycling…
1. Recycling stations everywhere
As a rule, there's a recycling station less than a mile away from every residential area in Sweden.
2. Leftover Medicine
Instead of tossing pill bottles in the trash or leaving them in medicine cabinets, 43 percent of Swedes give their leftover medication back to pharmacists.
Apoteket, a major pharmacy outlet, last year sent 378 tons of collected and internal waste for safe combustion.
3. Discounts for Used Clothing
Last year Swedish megabrand H&M launched a global campaign that lets people swap used clothing for discounts. For every bag filled with worn clothes, H&M's Swedish locations give customers a $7.80 price cut on purchases worth at least $52, reported Bloomberg .
The company then uses the donations to produce eco-friendly clothing collections.
4. Musical Waste Bins
In Helsingborg, public waste bins have speakers that play music to make recycling a more pleasant experience.
5. Everyone Sorts the Trash
Households separate their newspaper, plastic, metal, glass, lightbulbs, and batteries.
For larger items that are harder to collect, such as furniture or electronics, Swedes go to special recycling centers outside cities.
6. Popular Artists Sing About Recycling
Pantamera, a recycling organization, enlists prominent musicians to record songs and star in nationally televised commercials that encourage viewers to return used bottles to stores.
Recycle at home or away to avoid wasting resources
Recycle everything you can. Anything made from metal, wood, most plastics, paper and cardboard, and electronic e-waste are all likely to have a recycling option.

It is normal that the Maserati Quattroporte will be getting a minor overhaul soon. A somewhat disguised model was as of late spied experiencing frosty climate testing. There was just little measure of cover on the back guard yet other than that everything seemed to be like the current model of the Quattroporte.
The 2017 Maserati Quattroporte will wind up a slight touch bigger, however on the other hand, lighter in refinement for your prior model. Its outside would have some refreshment in view of the presence of the real organization's guard, then again most plausible it's lights and grille. Regularly, it has truly charming look together with really contemporary bends.
From the spy pictures we can see that the auto will hold its quad trapezoidal debilitates and the tail-lights yet get an altered back guard. In the interim, at the front, the Quattroporte remains to a great extent unaltered. The Italian carmaker is relied upon to offer a variety of composite edge outlines, alongside new hues for its hot four-entryway car.
In the front, there was no cover and the model seemed to be indistinguishable to the present model. Maserati is by all accounts taking after the "don't settle it in the event that it ain't broke" mantra. The Quattroporte's more youthful stablemate, the Ghibli, is likewise anticipated that would get a few upgrades in 2017.
The insides of the auto is still a secret yet it may get some minor changes. In any case, the infotainment framework ought to be redesigned with the Uconnect framework from guardian organization Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The facelift in the Quattroporte reach ought to convey a few changes to the inside of the auto, yet don't expect a gigantic redesign. All things considered, the organization's forthcoming Levante SUV has had its inside found, and for reasons unknown the Italian planners did not make a huge effort to change the brand's typical inside look and game plan.
On the off chance that you are a current client, this could be extraordinary news as you are now usual to the way things are masterminded inside a Maserati, however this choice could imply that new customers couldn't be lured by the new inside.
The determination with all the 2017 Maserati Quattroporte may pick the backing of four years 8-liter V8. The second imperative business sector on your United States furthermore around the world, the most critical rendition inside freshest Maserati Quattroporte beyond any doubt being less persuasive (and a lesser measure of excessive) V6 bi-turbo model we've quite recently determined inside northern Italy; both back wheel-drive form and in addition Q4 all-wheel-drive.
The organization is additionally attempting to add to a scope of half and half powertrains and wanting to incorporate them in their line-up by 2020.
The author is not known exactly how much the price of a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte but the authors presiksi , the price in the offer about $ 117, 900 - $ 159, 900 and will be introduced in early 2017.


By moving to the AWS Cloud, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) reduced the costs of maintenance and pushed its IT teams to be more creative to further their mission. ICMEC's mission is to eradicate child abduction, sexual abuse, and exploitation. ICMEC created the GMCNgine, a centralized platform that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Amazon Rekognition to scour the internet for photos of children to compare against images from ongoing cases of missing children from across the globe. The results provide law enforcement and NGOs with leads on the possible whereabouts of missing children.


Full of subtle but solid and rewarding tracks which are well composed and sonically masterful, Bridge of Sighs is the album where Robin Trower may have advanced the rock guitar a bit. This second solo album by Trower is the most solid and heralded output of his career, filled with consistent tracks of strong blues-rock with just a sprinkle jazz flare and improvisation that prevents the music from ever getting caught in a rut. Complimenting Trower's guitar work are bassist and lead vocalist James Dewar along with drummer Reg Isidore, who complete this outstanding power trio and added their own fantastic performance contributions.
From 1967 through 1971, Trower was guitarist for the band Procol Harum, spanning most of that band's successful career. Trower first worked with Dewar in a short-lived supergroup Jude before the two branched out with Isidore to commence Troer's solo career. The debut album Twice Removed from Yesterday was released in 1973, but to little critical or commercial success.
Recorded and released in 1974, Bridge of Sighs was produced by Matthew Fisher, keyboardist for Procol Harum and Trower's former band mate. Former Beatles' engineer Geoff Emerick also helped out with forging the sound of this album. The album reached the Top 10 in the United States and stayed on the charts for the better part of a year.
"Day of the Eagle" sets a frantic pace for the album during the beginning rudiments, before the song settles into upbeat, bluesy groove with good, soulful vocals by Dewar. The guitar sounds are much more impressive than the actual techniques in this sonic explosion which starts the album. The title track, "Bridge of Sighs" follows as the most indelible track. Starting with gated chimes and long, decaying guitar notes, the song's vibe is like bending the fabric of space and time. Droning and intense throughout, "Bridge of Sighs" never relents from its slower than slow pace, which works out well when Trower opts for long and slow outro with sound effects rather than the obligatory guitar lead in the coda section.
Wind effects from previous track serve as a bridge to lead into the calm but foreboding love song, "In This Place". Every note is accented beautifully by the precise beats of Isidore, while this song is a true showcase for Trower in every other way. Here, the guitarist shows his true a mastery of fat, sustained tones above several other outstanding guitar textures. It seems almost a shame that the song is so short. "The Fool and Me" is an upbeat blues/rock jam, co-written by Dewar, that puts a strong cap on the first side as a real gem with mocking guitars and funky, strategic pauses. The second side starts with "Too Rolling Stoned", the longest and best overall track on the album. It starts with a funky, bass-fueled song proper where Dewar especially shines on bass and vocals. Midway through, the track reaches an extended, slow rock guitar jam that meanders through the coda. This long ending part seems to be an intentional contrast to the early parts of the song, as a simple and direct beat with a clap and "party" sounds persist under Trower's animated guitar lead.
"About to Begin" is a calm jazzy number that seems to go in one direction, almost as a pause in the action during a movie drama. "Lady Love" is a very direct rocker which seems to be the only real attempt at a pop crossover on Bridge of Sighs. Still, this track contains soem great, late sixties-style blues guitar leads and Isidore's drums and percussion play an equally important role in another song where the only weak spot seems to be that it is too short. The album concludes with more blistering blues rock of "Little Bit of Sympathy". This one has a long mid-section sans bass but with extra hand percussion, giving it a cool edge. When the full rock arrangement kicks back in, the group is in full form with Trower doing more unique and inventive techniques to keep the listener wanting for more.
Bridge of Sighs would go on to a strong influence on the rock guitar sounds of the late seventies and beyond. Trower continued recording solo records, releasing one album per year through 1978, but never again quite reaching the heights of this album.


My husband fully appreciates a smooth, elegant tumbler of bourbon, making this cocktail a pertinent choice to start the Fathers Day weekend celebrations.
Combine bourbon, lime juice, sugar, marmalade and bitters in a pitcher. Stir vigorously until sugar is dissolved.
Fill glasses with ice, top with bourbon mixture and serve each with a maraschino cherry and a drizzle of cherry liquid.

73 Mind-Blowing Terence Mckenna Quotes
Terence McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American philosopher, ethnobotanist, psychonaut, lecturer, writer and author who spend much of his life speaking and writing about a variety of important subjects, including but not limited to, shamanism, psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, alchemy, metaphysics, language, culture, environmentalism, technology and the nature of human consciousness.
Without further ado, here is a big collection of the very best philosophical quotes from the psychedelic mind of the mushroom ambassador Terence McKenna, hand-picked with love for your inspiration.
1. "I think of going to the grave without having a psychedelic experience like going to the grave without ever having sex. It means that you never figured out what it is all about. The mystery is in the body and the way the body works itself into nature."
2. "If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."
3. "If you don't smoke cannabis, you may spend your evening balancing your checking account. If you do smoke cannabis you may spend your evening contemplating the causes of the Greek Renaissance."
4. "Stop consuming images and start producing them."
5. "You are a divine being. You matter, you count. You come from realms of unimaginable power and light, and you will return to those realms."
6. "You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do is to bring back a new idea, because our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness."
7. "The male dominant agenda is so fragile that any competitor is felt as a deadly foe."
8. "You simply have to turn your back on a culture that has gone sterile and dead and get with the program of a living world and the imagination."
9. "The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams."
10. The message of psychedelics is that culture can be re-engineered as a set of emotional and spiritual values rather than products. This is terrifying news."
11. "Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed."
12. "Half the time you think your thinking you're actually listening."
13. "Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong."
14. "The artist's task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. If artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found."
15. "Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced."
16. "The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish."
17. "The purpose of life is to familiarize oneself with this after-death body so that the act of dying will not create confusion in the psyche."
18. "We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don't matter. And in the act of taking that idea to ourselves we give everything away to somebody else, to something else."
19. "The shaman is not merely a sick man, or a madman; he is a sick man who has healed himself."
20. "You see, a secret is not something untold. It's something which can't be told."
21. "If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan."
22. "Nature is not our enemy, to be raped and conquered. Nature is ourselves, to be cherished and explored."
23. "We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together."
24. "My technique is don't believe anything. If you believe in something, you are automatically precluded from believing its opposite."
25. "It's clearly a crisis of two things: of consciousness and conditioning. We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy."
26. "We can begin the restructuring of thought by declaring legitimate what we have denied for so long. Lets us declare Nature to be legitimate. The notion of illegal plants is obnoxious and ridiculous in the first place."
27. "Some kind of dialogue is now going on between individual human beings and the sum total of human knowledge and nothing can stop it."
28. "Nothing comes unannounced, but many can miss the announcement. So it's very important to actually listen to your own intuition rather than driving through it."
29. "We need to interact with like-minded people throughout the world to establish the new intellectual order which will be the salvation of mankind."
30. "Western civilization is a loaded gun pointed at the head of this planet."
31. "Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coersion, brainwashing, and manipulation."
32. "Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable."
33. "We are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get this, get that.' And then you're a player, but you don't want to play in the game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."
34. "It is the imagination that argues for the Divine Spark within human beings. It is literally a descent of the World's Soul into all of us."
35. "The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse."
36. "Even as the nineteenth century had to come to grips with the notion of human descent from apes, we must now come to terms with the fact that those apes were stoned apes."
37. "We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat."
38. "If you keep yourself as the final arbiter you will be less susceptible to infection by cultural illusion"
39. "The problem is not to find the answer, it's to face the answer."
40. "The way you stretch the envelope of culture is by creating language."
41. "The real tension is not between matter and spirit, or time and space, the real tension is between information and nonsense."
42. "Nothing lasts but nothing is lost."
43. "Matter is not lacking in magic, matter is magic."
44. "People are so alienated from their own soul that when they meet their soul they think it comes from another star system."
46. "Ideology always paves the way toward atrocity."
47. "The creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas. It is the night sea journey, the lone fisherman on a tropical sea with his nets, and you let these nets down – sometimes, something tears through them that leaves them in shreds and you just row for shore, and put your head under your bed and pray. At other times what slips through are the minutiae, the minnows of this ichthyological metaphor of idea chasing. But, sometimes, you can actually bring home something that is food, food for the human community that we can sustain ourselves on and go forward."
48. "You don't want to become so open-minded that the wind can whistle between your ears."
49. "If you're not the hero of your own novel, then what kind of novel is it? You need to do some heavy editing."
50. "Culture is the effort to hold back the mystery, and replace it with a mythology."
51. "Unexamined cultural values & limitations of language have made us unwitting prisoners of our own assumptions."
52. "This is a society, a world, a planet dying because there is not enough consciousness, because there is not enough awareness, enough coordination of intent-to-problem. And yet, we spend vast amounts of money stigmatizing people and substances that are part of this effort to expand consciousness, see things in different ways, unleash creativity. Isn't it perfectly clear that business as usual is a bullet through the head?"
53. "The culmination of man's effort in time will be the perfection and the release of the human soul. And it's not that we are 'doing' it. It's that a natural law that we are still unaware of is inexorably unfolding."
54. "Our world is in danger by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. And so to whatever degree any one of us, can bring back a small piece of the picture and contribute it to the building of the new paradigm, then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit, and that after all is what it's really all about."
55. "We have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. But we are led by the least among us – the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons."
56. "What civilization is, is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other's shoulders and kicking each other's teeth in. It's not a pleasant situation."
57. "Culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines.
58. "Culture is not your friend. Culture is for other people's convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well treated by culture."
59. "Personal empowerment means deconditioning yourself from the values and the programs of the society and putting your own values and programs in place."
60. "Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existance is defined in terms of control."
61. "You have to take seriously the notion that understanding the universe is your responsibility, because the only understanding of the universe that will be useful to you is your own understanding."
62. "The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it's only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse. If you go to Bosnia or Somalia or Peru or much of the third-world then it appears that the apocalypse has already arrived."
64. "The cost of sanity, in this society, is a certain level of alienation."
65. "The future of communication is the future of the evolution of the human soul."
66. "Our need to feel part of the world seems to demand that we express ourselves through creative activity."
67. "Part of what psychedelics do is they decondition you from cultural values. This is what makes it such a political hot potato. Since all culture is a kind of con game, the most dangerous candy you can hand out is one which causes people to start questioning the rules of the game."
68. "Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego."
69. "We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."
70. "Culture is not your friend, it's an impediment to understanding what's going on. That's why the words cult and culture have a direct relationship to each other. Culture is an extremely repressive cult that leads to all kinds of humiliation and degradation, and automatic, unquestioned and unthinking behaviour."
71. "We are caged by our cultural programming. Culture is a mass hallucination, and when you step outside the mass hallucination you see it for what it's worth."
72. "The internet is light at the end of the tunnel…it is creating a global society"
73. "If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."


Frozen Cache made it to /.!
This is a good thing, as it shows that others see the problem of Cold Boot attacks as important. Don't want to complain about the state of the world or that most slash-doters just don't read the article they are about to comment on. What really irritated me was Jacob Applebaums comment.
It is not enough to protect just the key, you also need to protect the schedule.
I (Applebaum) am able to reconstruct the key from the key-schedule.
And anyway, Frozen Cache just misuses an expensive processor as the crypto device it was never meant to be.
Therefore the Frozen Cache approach is rubbish.
1) It is not enough to protect just the key, you also need to protect the schedule.
That is just a true statement. No arguing about that. Although the Frozen Cache blog did state expressiv verbis that the key schedule needs to be protected as well.
Anyway: To me it was always clear that protecting the key means to protect all key related sensitive information.
The thing is: The Frozen Cache blog is a blog dedicated to work on a proof of concept. It is not, as you might guess from Applebaums answer, a scientific paper proposing "the final solution" or a shrink wrapped product, ready to be sold.
Taking the words blog and proof of concept into account, this answer sounds a bit like "(pointing a finger and singing) na na na na na na, but you forgot to protect the key schedule as well!". This might be just my impression, though.
2) I (Applebaum) am able to reconstruct the key from the key-schedule.
For the interested: Wikipedia does a nice job on explaining how the encryption is done in AES.
The important bit ist the role of the AES Key Schedule when something gets encrypted. It is the expanded version of the key and the only thing that makes encrypting "Hello World" with two different keys produce different output.
Looking at it from that angle, there is no difference between key schedule and key. Strictly speaking, it is not even neccesary to "reconstruct" the key, once you have the key schedule.
3) And anyway, Frozen Cache just misuses an expensive processor as the crypto device it was never meant to be.
He gets full marks for that one. This is basically my main (economical) point of critique on Frozen Cache.
4) Therefore (1 & 2) the Frozen Cache approach is rubbish.
This statement really made me angry. Shouldn't he be glad (maybe even proud) that so many people think about the problems he discovered? Instead he bashes a possible solution – that surely is more hack than anything else – without any constructive argument. Without any non-nitpicking argument at all, to be precise.
With a lot of technical problems still to be solved, Frozen Cache still has a good chance to effectively work in practice. I am still waiting for a real (read: scientific) argument against Frozen Cache.
So, the rant is over and I feel slightly better. Mission accomplished. I'll send Applebaum a link, so that he has a chance comment, fair is fair.


With its many hues and dark foliage, the Chinese 5-color pepper is a real beauty in the garden. It's multi-colored, like the aurora pepper or Bolivian rainbow, but what makes it stand out from the pack is the unexpected shades it takes. Layers of purple and cream are in play, along with the more familiar yellows, oranges, and reds. Best of all, the Chinese 5-color pepper, even with its significant medium heat, delivers in the taste department, too – more than most other ornamental peppers – so it's a great fit for edible landscaping projects.
How hot is the Chinese 5-color pepper?
Like most ornamental peppers, theres a good amount of kick to the Chinese 5-color pepper. It shares the same heat profile as the popular spice-rack staple, cayenne pepper – 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units. Putting that in perspective against our jalapeño reference point, the Chinese 5-color is at least 4, but up to 20 times hotter than a jalapeño pepper, depending on the chilies tested.
What does it look like and taste like?
"5-color" is in the name, so it's no surprise that there's a lot of color to this ornamental. What's unique is the shades themselves (and the variants in the shades, leading to a lot more than 5 total colors). Chinese 5-color peppers are small conical peppers that grow to about an inch in length. They run from shades of purple, then age into a beautiful cream color (not common), followed by shades of yellows, oranges, and reds – gaining in heat as they change in color on the vine. It creates a vivid landscape as each plant can have a wide variety of these colors as the peppers mature at different speeds through the growing cycle.
The taste is unexpected, too. Many ornamental peppers offer little in terms of flavor. They're bred to focus on their looks, not flavor, so they tend towards high temps and a bitter flavor. The Chinese 5-color pepper actually has a sweetness to it that's more flavorful than most other ornamentals. It's not a complex chili flavor by any means, but it can serve dual purpose in the garden and the kitchen.
For landscaping, the Chinese 5-color pepper is one of the best ornamental peppers around. It works both in gardens and containers, and it performs reasonably well indoors with enough light.
In the kitchen, the Chinese 5-color is a good pickling pepper, especially with its varied hues. They also make good drying peppers, whether to be converted into powder or rehydrated down the road. With their sweeter flavor, they are also pretty tasty fresh, though with a decent amount of pop that may be too much for many to handle. They're a good base for a colorful salsa, or simply chop them to add some color to salads and soups.
Where can you buy Chinese 5-color peppers?
As these are ornamentals, you're more likely to find seeds than fresh peppers. Look online for Chinese 5-color pepper seeds (they are easy to source) or try a well-stocked gardening center. These are uniquely beautiful chilies and relatively easy to grow, so for those with even modest green thumbs, don't be afraid to give this pepper a chance. You'll be rewarded both in the garden and kitchen.

B.C. mom wins daycare contract fight after kids insulted in text message
Operator had tried to sue for $1,800 when mom pulled her children without giving 30 days' notice
Nov. 7, 2018 11:08 a.m.
Warning: The language in this story may be offensive to some readers.
A mom who pulled her kids out of daycare after the operator called her children a swear word will not have to pay for breaking a contract, a B.C. civil claims tribunal has ruled.
In a judgment released Wednesday, tribunal member Kate Campbell said the daycare breached the standard of "safe and professional care" when it referred to the children as "a**holes [sic]".
As a result, the mother does not have to pay an $1,800 fee for removing them in November 2017 without 30 days' notice.
The full names of the parents, the name and location of the daycare, and the name of the operator were not included in the decision to preserve the children's anonymity.
At issue was a text message the daycare operator had sent: "Looks like Hanna and dylan took the say [sic] off and gave me the a**holes."
Hannah and Dylan are the kids' parents, according to the daycare contract.
It is not clear when the text message was sent or who was the recipient. The mother provided a screenshot of it.
The operator denied sending that exact message, Campbell wrote, but could not provide evidence that it wasn't sent, or that it did not contain that word.
In evidence provided to the tribunal, the operator described the events leading up to the children not returning to daycare.
"After receiving this text, Hanna cried to me, unburdened herself to me regarding her personal life and work, hugged me and left her children at my home until 3 p.m.," she said.
"I did not kick Hanna out, she chose to not come back the next day knowing abruptly withdrawing would incur charges as well as the remainder of her monthly payment along with the burden of looking for new care."
Campbell said since it was the daycare operator suing the parents for $1,800, the burden of proof was on the operator who admitted a text was sent, and was unable to prove it was not offensive.
"I find it is an implicit term of any childcare agreement that the childcare provider provide safe and professional care to children," she wrote, "and referring to children as assholes, even outside of their presence, does not meet that standard."

Fast Ion Confinement and Stability of an NBI-heated RFP
Speaker: Jay Anderson, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Abstract: The envisioned burning plasma experiment, regardless of magnetic concept, relies on sufficient confinement of the charged fusion products for plasma self heating. As such, the confinement of fast ions and their impact on the bulk plasma are crucial issues. While well-studied in tokamak, ST and stellarator plasmas, relatively little is known in RFP plasmas about the dynamics of fast ions and the effects they cause as a large population. These studies are now underway in MST with an intense 25 keV, 1 MW hydrogen neutral beam injector (300 MW/m^2 at injection port). Fast particles are confined much better than thermal particles in the stochastic RFP magnetic field, and a significant population of fast ions develops during NB injection. TRANSP simulations predict a super-Alfvenic ion density of up to 25% of the electron density with both a significant velocity space gradient and a sharp radial density gradient. There are several effects on the background plasma including enhanced toroidal rotation, electron heating and an altered current density profile. The abundant fast particles affect the plasma stability. Fast ions at the island of the core-most resonant tearing mode have a stabilizing effect, and up to 60% reduction in the magnetic fluctuation amplitude is observed during NBI. Simultaneously, beam driven instabilities are observed for the first time in the RFP. Repetitive 50 us bursts of m=1 modes have scaling signatures of both Alfvenic and continuum energetic particle modes. The dominant modes are n=4 (EP-like) and n=5 (AE-like), which nonlinearly couple to an n=1 mode. The feedback of the altered plasma stability on the fast ion confinement is investigated.
The Anderson-Higgs mechanism in Condensed Matter Physics
Speaker: Dushko Kuzmanovski & Saurabh Maiti
Abstract: With recent renewed interest in the Higgs mechanism after the announced discovery of the Higgs particle by experimental groups at the LHC, it is instructive to remind oneself of its manifestations in Condensed Matter Physics phenomena. We give a pedagogic overview of the topic of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the role of gauge symmetries. We also try to assess the role that P.W. Anderson had played in the formulation of the mechanism from a historical perspective. Finally, we put things into perspective of the electroweak gauge symmetry breaking.
Searching for the earliest life on Earth
Speaker: Clark Johnson, UW Department of Geoscience
Abstract: Finding evidence for the earliest life on Earth requires a bit different approach than say digging for dinosaur bones, because the evidence is much more cryptic. Microbial life dominated the biosphere for perhaps 4 billion years, yet the number of known localities of undisputed microfossils is quite small. What is a weird spot under the microscope and what represents true cellular remains? Fossilized microbial communities (stromatolites), which give us a hint about ancient ecosystems, are even more rare, and also subject to debate. Another approach, one we are taking at UW-Madison, is to look for the fingerprints of ancient microbial metabolisms that are left in the isotopic record of element that are cycled by life. These can be found in remnant carbon compounds, or in inorganic minerals that may be the product of microbial metabolism. In addition, such fingerprints inform us about past environmental conditions that permit, or do not permit, life (liquid water, etc.). We will take a broad tour of these issues, focusing on what we know, and do not know, from the formation of the Earth at 4.5 b.y. ago up to the first major rise in atmospheric oxygen about 2 b.y. ago.

Yea same problem here except I don't get major lag spikes. Just randomly I'll crash on my server, but my friend hasn't crashed a single time yet.
Is that the brodar mod or something you have?
That's what I meant, but on .486 and .489 it's stuck on Converting world. Luckily I can just exit out of Minecraft and load the world with minimal issues. It's just an inconvenience, especially when scanning for a good seed.
Yea same thing happens on my server, it crashes it. I have to manually go in MCEdit and delete all the fruit trees close to our construction area.
No, I didn't lose the lamps. It just irks me that they turn the block into a completely different stone. I wouldn't mind as much if they stayed the same type of stone.
I was working on the sewer system on the post-apocalyptic map when I realized I could use MCEdit to make my life a whole lot easier, as I was using chiseled blocks to make it look more authentic. I loaded MCEdit up and deleted space so I could just fill it in with the sewer, without having to manually mine all that extremely annoying falling dirt. Rejoined the server, and this happened; Before: After: It seemed to only affect the chiseled blocks within a certain radius of the edit, as I used to to delete space for the sewer. Any workarounds?

Cycling v/s electric cars : On the Path of Net Zero Cities
Net-zero cities, Carbon neutrality, carbon footprint– Haven't we heard a lot of this in recent times? The carbon footprint has become the most sought-after parameter in the construction and technology industry. It is a very effective way to keep a check on human intervention and save our planet. According to a report by World Economic Forum, Cities occupy 3% of the earth's surface and yet they are responsible for more than 70% of all carbon emissions. Therefore, To maintain global temperature increases to 1.5°C or below, cities have to achieve net-zero.
Cities contribute to more than 70% Co2 emissions on earth
One of the major reasons contributing to high carbon emissions in the city is the transit system- public and private vehicles. Hence to move towards sustainability and lower carbon emissions, adopting efficient systems like cycling, electric cars, and other sustainable options is imperative. In China, which is one of the densely populated countries, cities contribute to more than 60% of National Carbon emissions. Therefore it is important that the world collectively understands and acts upon reducing carbon emissions and working on environmentally friendly transit systems.
Sustainable transit systems & Co2 Emissions
It is seen that to reduce carbon footprint through transit systems, switching to bicycles and electric cars from fossil fuel cars have proven to be most effective. Let us see the significance of each of these transit modes and compare the two.
Cycling – The most effective way to reduce carbon emissions
Making a sustainable switch to cycling from cars will surely impact the carbon footprint in the long run. Cycling is not only environmentally friendly but also is healthier and cost-effective. It is observed that people who walk or cycle contribute exceptionally to reduce carbon footprints daily. Research on carbon emissions by Our Streets MPLS shows that Co2 released white production of a car is 313g while that for a bicycle is 16 g. Moreover, if a per km drive is compared the co2 released by a car per km is 271 g, while that for a bicycle is only 16 g. Also, this 16 g co2 emissions is from the emissions of the rider food. Hence we can see that bicycling is the cleanest and most effective way to reduce co2 emissions and save the planet through our minimum efforts.
Electric cars- The feasible alternative to fossil fuels
These are the electrically-propelled vehicles having emissions much lower than conventional cars. It is said that though there is a high emission involved in its production, most of it is compensated in its usage phase. Electric cars help in reducing the direct emissions-reducing of air pollutants and smog. In the overall process, the electric car has 35% lower emissions than fossil fuel vehicles. Thus, electric cars have emerged as sustainable modes of transport in cities around the globe.
Cycling v/s Electric Car
Though both bicycles and electric cars are sustainable ways towards Net Zero cities, cycling still has an edge over electric cars. Electric cars require the complicated process to store energy, produce batteries, and hence there is a range of high carbon-emitting processes involved. It is said that cycling is 10x better than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. To tackle the increasingly adverse effects of vehicular traffic we need to replace the process with a much simpler process that can directly control the pollution and dependency on resources. The thing with electric cars is in a way the dependency on the process of production and harnessing electricity will increase which will also have its individual effects on carbon footprint. It is an effective way to curb pollution true, but it is also in a way making the journey towards carbon neutrality a bit slower.
Moreover, cycling will also lead to direct reduction of noise minimal use of infrastructure thus leading to reduced impact on infrastructure and existing systems in the city. Hence, cycling is also cost-effective also t being sustainable.
The key takeaway message here is that – It is true and electrical vehicles are a Co2 footprint-reducing alternative to conventional vehicles. However, electrical vehicles in no way will help us attack the underlying issues of transportation such as congestion, health, and space crunch in the city. The feasible way as of now to tackle all these issues is to resort to cycling and making it an important aspect of the urban transit system.

Museum welcomes new president
Photo: Yurij Trytjak
Mykola Darmochwal
This year's annual meeting of The Ukrainian Museum, on June 26, saw the election of a new president of the Board of Trustees, Mykola Darmochwal, and the installation of several new Board members. As in years past, the meeting also provided attending members with a detailed description of the Museum's activities, accomplishments, and financial status throughout the past year and into the current one, as well as a look at the Museum's plans for the future. Members who were not able to attend the meeting will receive this information in the Annual Report (covering the years 2009-2010), which is being mailed to all Museum members.
Prof. Jaroslaw Leshko
Professor Jaroslaw Leshko, the outgoing president of the Board of Trustees, kicked off the meeting by recapping the Museum's many achievements in 2010, foremost among them the major multinational exhibition Ukraine-Sweden: At the Crossroads of History (XVII-XVIII Centuries) and the Invitation to a Wedding exhibition, which remains on view through this fall. He also lauded the Museum's extensive educational and public programming and the success of the 35th anniversary fundraising gala. After reminding members that the expansion of the Museum's activities would not have been possible without its move, five years ago, into a much larger, state-of-the-art facility, Professor Leshko noted that maintaining the new premises and sustaining the Museum's multifaceted work will require a coordinated fundraising effort and the addition of a sizable number of new, younger, active members who will take a leadership role in the coming years.
Director Maria Shust then offered a detailed account of the Museum's numerous activities throughout 2010, including exhibitions; special events; a wide variety of public programs, among them lectures, concerts and other performances, films, and book launches; and an extensive selection of courses and workshops for adults, children, families, and school and community groups. She concluded by thanking the Museum's staff for their dedication and collaboration, its volunteers for their generosity of time and spirit, and its donors, foremost among them Self Reliance New York Federal Credit Union, for their staunch support. She also expressed her deep appreciation to Professor Leshko for his countless efforts on behalf of the Museum, a sentiment echoed later by Marianna Zajac, president of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America, in a tribute to his leadership.
Zoriana Haftkowycz, the Board of Trustees' Treasurer, rounded out the presentations with a review of the Museum's financial statements, audited and approved by the accounting firm Drotman & Sawkiw, which were distributed at the meeting and are included in the Annual Report. Like most non-profit institutions, particularly those in the cultural milieu, the Museum is facing a myriad of challenges during these tumultuous economic times – an issue that was addressed repeatedly during the meeting and that was the subject of many questions from the floor. The need to expand the Museum's bases of support and membership was a recurring theme.
The annual meeting concluded with the election of Mykola Darmochwal as the new president of the Board, succeeding the retiring Professor Leshko. A member of the New York area's Ukrainian community, Mr. Darmochwal had held senior-management positions at Johnson & Johnson until his retirement after more than 30 years of service. He pledged to work tirelessly on behalf of the Museum, undertaking a thorough review of its programs, plans, and processes in order to ensure its continued success.
The complete slate of Board members now stands as follows:
Mykola Darmochwal, President
Marianna Zajac, Vice-President
Mark Bach, Vice-President
Iryna Kurowyckyj, Vice-President
Zoriana Haftkowycz, Treasurer
Roma Shuhan, Secretary
Lilya Kalat, Secretary
Orest Glut, Member-at-Large
Mykola Haliv, Member-at-Large
Motria Kuzycz, Esq., Member-at-Large
Andrei Harasymiak, Esq.
Adrian Hewryk
Sophia Hewryk
Professor Renata Holod
Alla Kuchinsky
Luba Labunka
Andrew Lencyk, Esq.
Chrystyna Melnyk
Rostislav Milanytch
Roksolana Misilo
Christina Samilenko
Natalia Sonevytsky
Olga Stawnychy
Oksana Trytjak
Olha Yarema-Wynar
The membership also voted to re-elect the members of the Audit Committee:
Nadia Cwiach, Chair
Ihor Hayda
Roman Sorobay
Marianna Woloszyn
Lydia Zaininger
The meeting was chaired by Professor John Luchechko, a former president of the Board of Trustees, and recorded by secretary Motria Milanytch.
The Ukrainian Museum was founded in 1976 by the Ukrainian National Women's League of America as a showcase for Ukrainian culture. Since its founding, the Museum has amassed extensive collections of folk art, fine art, and archival material. It mounts several exhibitions annually; publishes accompanying bilingual catalogues; organizes courses, workshops, and other educational programs; and hosts a variety of public events. In April 2005 the Museum moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility in New York's East Village, funded entirely by the Ukrainian American community.


Well, I know you are all going to be SHOCKED to hear that I've cancelled my WoW account. I've still got until the end of October to play, but I don't really see myself renewing it any time soon. It's the end of a good era in my life, and the beginning of an even better one.
Feel free to look me up on Facebook (ask Brauer or some of the other bunnies to hook you up) or just tell Brauer to say "hi"!
I love you guys, I've had a real blast getting to know you and raiding with you and farming stupid vanity pets with you, etc.
Enjoy motherhood! You'll be missed.
It's been fun raiding with you over the years. Good times! Best of luck with the next chapter in your life and don't be a stranger!
Be well hon, I'm sure we'll see each other some day. You will, of course, be missed.
I blame Lailo for this one. Due to his crazy WordPress antics I had to sign into the forums from Antje's computer to get the forums to believe my login info. Seems to be fixed now. I will happily continue to convey greetings back and forth.
