Leaving our unexpected and comfortable accommodation at the border, Stephano, Tracey and I set off towards the next town (some 68 kms away). We were promised that the Police there would be expecting our arrival and would be happy for us to camp behind the police station.
The corrugated concrete road surface, together with sand, made riding a slow business. It was even slower for me than for Stephano and Tracey on their mountain bikes with minimal luggage (well that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it). The ride was tough, and got tougher as the day went on and the sand in the road became deeper. But it was still nothing short of spectacular, and it was incredible to be riding through this crazy landscape without cars or lorries (maybe 5 cars passed all day).
As I rolled into town, I met Stephano and Tracey again in Ollacapato. True to their word, the Police were expecting us and were happy for us not only to camp, but also to use the toilets at the Police Station (leaving the back door open for us at night). Whilst it might not have been the prettiest campsite in the world, the shelter and facilities were much appreciated.
Ollacapato exists, I suspect, only because of mining. It was clearly a tough town – constant beating sun, heavy winds, and really not a lot to do.
Leaving town the next morning, I was on the road that links the mines there with other parts of Argentina. Whilst the traffic was still infrequent, it did mean the occasional lorry.
Unfortunately, given the dry and sandy conditions, this was what then followed, so I made sure to get to the side of the road well in time, just in case another vehicle was following and unable to see me.
The landscapes remained amazing however and the road took me to my highest altitude of the trip so far (and I suspect of the entire trip), Alto Chorrillo at 4560 metres above sea level. Probably because of the gentle increase in altitude (as opposed to flying or driving to altitude) I suffered none of the effects of altitude that I'd previously experienced in Nepal. No headaches, no sleeplessness, and not even oxygen problems as I climbed hills. The body is a remarkable thing.
From this point, a few days of fun started as it was pretty much all downhill to Salta at 1150 metres, but still over 200 kilometres away. The scenery was spectacular, and the downhills were awesome (despite brutal headwinds at times).
Notwithstanding the incredible scenery, the towns in this part of Argentina weren't much to shout about. I hate to think what would have happened had I gone into the video shop or the (probably somewhat optimistic) tourist information.
In another one-horse town I met with Dante, an Argentinian who was cycle-touring with the added complication of being deaf and without speech. We had great conversations using a combination of lip-reading (which must have been difficult for him, given my beginner's Spanish combined with accent) and writing messages on phones. We rode together for a couple of days and also camped together at one of the prettiest campsites so far.
There's no way that my pictures can do justice to the incredible countryside. It was a fantastic welcome to Argentina. And as altitude dropped a little, the countryside was suddenly littered with Cacti, some of which were enormous.
I was a little bit worried by this sign, warning of a control of weight and dimensions. Luckily, the police officers on duty just waved us on, but of course not until they'd asked whether we had enough water with us.
I was also pleased that (once we were out of the super remote areas at altitude) the people were hugely warm and welcoming. The second picture is of a little train that's used to transport workers from one of the mines. The waves given as I took the photo were typical of the welcome from those I passed on the bike. Super friendly people with a great sense of fun. Argentina had started really well and I was looking forward to seeing more.
My blog is, in fact, a bit behind. I'm actually back in Chile now (I'll be criss-crossing between Chile and Argentina from now on). Over Christmas I'm going to be with John and Gertje, good friends from my time living in Pakistan. They're now in Santiago, and kindly offered to host me over the festive period. I've also agreed to house- and cat-sit here over New Year, so it's another good break before I set off South again.
What a fabulous post and such breathtaking scenery. I see you have totally acclimatised and are rockin' some bike abs too! I am way behind there. Not enough time in the saddle as yet for me, clearly.
I am glad to read that you have company on the road and for Christmas.
I can't wait to catch up soon.
Love hearing about your adventures. Stay safe, keep enjoying and have a fabulous Christmas and New Year.
I bet you're looking forward to some basic luxuries mate.! Glad to see is all going to well and bike and body holding up., adapting. The experiences look and sound great. Enjoy the Christmas period and a bit of respite in a house. Happy new year, take care caminante.
Fascinating journey you're undertaking. I really enjoy reading your blogs. A very Happy Christmas from the UK to you and I look forward to hearing about your 2019 adventures.
Argentina looks beautiful. I hope you are going to put the photos and the blog into a book when you stop long enough! Glad you well and hope that you have a relaxing and great Christmas. All the best for 2019.
weiterhin macht es große Freude, Deinem Reiseblog zu folgen. Tolle Fotos, tolle Unterkünfte, spektakuläre Geschäfte :-). Wie einsam kann man sich auf der Welt noch fühlen. Die Kastanienallee in Berlin scheint da das komplette Gegenmodell zu sein. Wir wünschen Dir ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Bleib gesund und munter! Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Bericht.
Stuart, just unbelievable vistas and well done so far (Michael told Annette and I about your trip and blog – WOW!), thanks for sharing the journey. Keep up the peddling, enjoy the Xmas break and keep the photos coming please. As you say, photos and even video (try some) just can't do it justice.
Merry Christmas and have good rest. Great pictures of Argentina.
Have a Merry Christmas Stuart, and a Happy New Year!
Enjoy the "days off" with your friends, look after yourself and relax some !
Hi Wolfgang! Und euch natürlich auch alles Gute. Hoffentlich hattet Ihr schöne Weihnachtstage und 2019 hat gut angefangen! Liebe Grüße aus Chile, und bis demnächst in der Hauptstadt!
Hi Stuart, loving the blog; fantastic photos (to be expected!) and great descriptions of your journey, the places you pass through and most importantly the people you meet! So jealous of such an adventure. Enjoy the Christmas/New Year break and stay safe on the next stage of your travels.
Hi Bruce. As ever, good to hear from you. Yes, it is an incredible adventure – and I still pinch myself on a daily basis that I'm finally out here living it! Hope you had a great break? I've been in Santiago with a former colleague from Pak and his family, but think he was before your time. All the best for 2019 – hope it's a good one for you!
I love the fact that there are very few people and cars, the world stands still.
Glad you had some shelter over Christmas and probably much needed sleep.
Hace ya mucho que no me reportaba pero he leído tus posts en compañía de mi hija de 7 años. Se sorprende de ver de ver de lo qué es capaz de lograr alguien que quiere ver el mundo y sus maravillas de una manera diferente.
Eres un campeón de las experiencias de vida sobre una bicicleta.
Gracias por compartirlas y dejarnos ver parte de Sur América y su diversidad de climas,, paisajes, culturas y personajes.
Espero que ya estés disfrutando de ese vino argentino en la Patagonia.
Los mejores deseos de bienestar, prosperidad y éxitos.
Nota. Seguro que ahora tienes un español bien internacional con buenas anécdotas.
Estoy muy feliz de saber que lees con tu hija. Me recuerdo cuando contaste de ella en nuestras clases.
Espero que las vacaciones fueron excelente y el año nuevo va bien! Ahora estoy cerca Patagonia, y sí, disfrutaba mucho las zonas de vino – en Argentina y Chile tambien!
A sucker for a beautiful blue sky!

Ti amo... io di più/Scientificamente è un singolo della cantante e attrice italiana Ombretta Colli, pubblicato nel 1969.

Descrizione
Ti amo... io di più''' di  Ombretta Colli, è la seconda versione italiana maggiormente nota della canzone Je t'aime... moi non plus, scritta da Serge Gainsbourg e da questi cantata in un primo tempo con Brigitte Bardot e in un secondo tempo con Jane Birkin. È una differente versione del brano tradotto da Claudio Fontana, in arte Daiano, e già pubblicato dalla coppia di attori Giorgio Albertazzi e Anna Proclemer con il titolo Ti amo... ed io di più. La versione cantata da Ombretta Colli presenta, oltre a un titolo leggermente differente che viene modificato in Ti amo... io di più'', delle modifiche anche nel testo apportate da Gian Piero Simontacchi, che già aveva contribuito ad altri brani cantati dalla Colli. Il titolo, inoltre.

La voce maschile del brano è di Gianfranco Aiolfi, già amico e collaboratore di Giorgio Gaber e Ombretta Colli.

Il disco è stato pubblicato nel settembre 1969 dall'etichetta discografica Rare un mese dopo la pubblicazione del 45 giri di Giorgio Albertazzi e Anna Proclemer (che risale ad agosto 1969.

Q: Say we have a group of N person, and each person might want to sell or buy one of the M items, how to find a closed path among them for an exchange? Say we have N persons and M items (when a person has a certain item, she usually only has one piece). For example,

*

*person 1 has item A, C, D, and wants item F

*person 2 has item B, C, and wants E

*person 3 has item E, and wants G
...
You get the idea. So it's basically a supply/demand matching problem, and if we represent this as a person-item matrix, it's gonna be a very sparse one.
So my question would be:

*

*How do I find the longest possible series (or path) of supply & demand matching among some people and therefore can foster an exchange?

*How do I find the shortest series (or path) that involves more than 2 people (so one-to-one exchange I think I've figured how by using some matrix operations)?

*What would be the complexity for finding longest/shortest paths?

Any advice would be appreciated.

A: Instead of a sparse matrix I'd go with a Directed Graph, where each node is a person and each link is a potential transaction.
Each cycle in the graph is a potential trade.  See Best algorithm for detecting cycles in a directed graph for more information.

A: I think a good way to represent the problem is as a bipartite, directed graph.
To create the graph, do this:

*

*Draw a node for each person.

*Also draw a node for each item.

*Whenever a person has an item, draw an arrow from that person to that item. (The idea is: if the person is happy, then we can obtain the item.)

*Whenever a person wants an item, draw an arrow from that item to that person. (The idea is: if we have the item, then we can make the person happy.)

Your goal is simply to find a circuit in this graph.
This means that your question can be rephrased as, "How can I find circuits in a bipartite directed graph?" The algorithms described in these questions and answers may be helpful:

*

*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/261573/best-algorithm-for-detecting-cycles-in-a-directed-graph

*https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/7216/find-the-simple-cycles-in-a-directed-graph
(The difference between a circuit and a cycle is that a circuit can visit the same node multiple times (although it can't use the same arrow multiple times), while a cycle can only visit each node once. In the context of your problem, a cycle would mean that each person only participates in one trade, and each item only participates in one trade.)

A: Edit: My other answer is better than this one; look at that one instead.
The problem can be represented by making a grid filled with dots. The grid has:

*

*N rows, one for each person.

*M columns, one for each item.

*One green dot whenever a person is willing to give an item (because "give" starts with "G" for "green"). For example, if Bob is willing to trade up to three apples, then put 3 green dots in the grid cell which is in the row representing Bob and the column representing apples.

*One red dot whenever a person wants to receive an item.

(In mathematical terms, this would be two N × M matrices, called G and R.)
Here's one algorithm for solving your problem. It's probably not the best algorithm, but it's an algorithm.
First, transform the grid into a directed graph by taking these two steps:

*

*Draw an arrow from every green dot to every red dot in the same column (indicating that one person can give an item and another person can receive it).

*Draw an arrow from every red dot to every green dot in the same row (indicating that a person can receive one item and give another item).

Second, find a directed cycle in the graph. This cycle provides the answer.
As an example, suppose that Bob has an apple and wants an orange, and Sarah has an orange and wants an apple. The grid would contain

*

*a green dot for (Bob, apple),

*a green dot for (Sarah, orange),

*a red dot for (Bob, orange), and

*a red dot for (Sarah, apple).

The cycle that we find

*

*starts at the green dot (Bob, apple) and goes to the red dot (Sarah, apple) (Bob gives an apple and Sarah receives it);

*goes from the red dot (Sarah, apple) to the green dot (Sarah, orange) (since Sarah received an apple, she's willing to give an orange);

*goes from the green dot (Sarah, orange) to the red dot (Bob, orange) (Sarah gives an orange to Bob); and

*returns from the red dot (Bob, orange) back to the green dot (Bob, apple) (Bob received an orange and so he's willing to give up an apple).

Dante: A Very Short Introduction
Peter Hainsworth and David Robey
A clear and wide ranging exploration of Dante's work
Uses a thematic approach to examine the challenges of his work, and his life, and works
Places Dante within the context of his time
Provides an in-depth exploration of he Divine Comedy and its meaning
Part of the bestselling Very Short Introductions series - millions of copies sold worldwide
In this Very Short Introduction, Peter Hainsworth and David Robey take a different approach to Dante, by examining the main themes and issues that run through all of his work, ranging from autobiography, to understanding God and the order of the universe. In doing so, they highlight what has made Dante a vital point of reference for modern writers and readers, both inside and outside Italy. They emphasize the distinctive and dynamic interplay in Dante's writing between argument, ideas, and analysis on the one hand, and poetic imagination on the other.
Dante was highly concerned with the political and intellectual issues of his time, demonstrated most powerfully in his notorious work, The Divine Comedy. Tracing the tension between the medieval and modern aspects, Hainsworth and Robey provide a clear insight into the meaning of this masterpiece of world literature. They highlight key figures and episodes in the poem, bringing out the originality and power of Dante's writing to help readers understand the problems that Dante wanted his audience to confront but often left up to the reader to resolve.

He has published widely on medieval and modern Italian literature, including Petrarch the Poet (Routledge, 1986). He reviews regularly for the Times Literary Supplement.
David Robey lectured in Italian at Oxford University before becoming Professor of Italian at Manchester and then Reading Universitties. He has published on 15th-century Italian humanism, language and style in Dante and Renaissance narrative poetry, the computer analysis of literature, and modern critical theory. He is the author of a computer-based study on Sound and Structure in Dante's 'Divine Comedy' (OUP, 2000), and an extensive data resource on Sound and Metre in Italian Narrative Verse.
Peter Hainsworth and David Robey co-edited the Oxford Companion to Italian Literature (2002), and were joint authors of Italian Literature: A Very Short Introduction (2012).
Why we should read Dante as well as Shakespeare
Dante can seem overwhelming. T.S. Eliot's peremptory declaration that 'Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them: there is no third' is more likely to be off-putting these days than inspiring. Shakespeare's plays are constantly being staged and filmed, and in all sorts of ways, with big names in the big parts, and when we see them we can connect with the characters and the issues with not too much effort.

Sandblasting of metal and aluminium wheel rims is carried out in a blasting cabinet. It is important to choose an appropriate blasting agent for this procedure; we use a special mix of glass beads. When the wheel rim has been sandblasted, we powder coat it. Metal wheel rims are first coated with a primer metal paint. Customers can choose the final colour they desire.
Cleaning and preparing the surface of the wheel rim with sandblasting, ensuring that the surfaces are clean and ready for further treatment (powder coating).
Potential repairs are carried out (welding, grinding).
If needed and depending on the type of wheel rim, we can perform fine sandblasting (with glass beads, sodium bicarbonate or crushed walnut shells) before the powder coat is applied.
Next we powder coat the wheel rim.
The metal or aluminium wheel rim is placed in a furnace that heats the material to 180 °C.
We wait for the wheel rim to cool. Upon request we also install the wheel rims. The entire process is completed in one day!
We use various blasting agents. Owing to more than 40 years of experience we can offer you help and advice when choosing a suitable blasting agent. Wheel rim sandblasting in the blasting cabinet is performed with steel chips, corundum, glass beads, sodium bicarbonate, and crushed walnut shells as abrasive agents.
Wheel rim sandblasting with steel chips and corundum is carried out in a blasting cabinet measuring 6m x 4m x 12m; sandblasting using glass beads, crushed walnut shells or sodium bicarbonate is performed in a blasting cabinet measuring 3,5m x 3,5m x 10m.

It's been weeks or months in the making. A new product, process or software training program is heading your way. SMEs were identified, scripts have been written, resources allocated. Assuming that a proper Instructional design process has already taken place (goals written, audience identified, skill level determined, etc.), it's time to crank up the production process, right?
Well, hold on. This is the point in time where it's critical that some final issues are addressed in order to avoid huge barriers down the road. Too often I've seen the push to 'get it out there' shoot developers in the foot.
What is the technical environment for the e-learning module?
It's critical to define the technical environment that your training module will be housed and displayed on. The answers to these questions can greatly impact the authoring tool that's used (Flash won't work on iOS devices), the instructional methods employed (mouse hovers won't work on a touch device) , the resolution of the interface (desktop, table and smartphones are all different), and other key issues.
What operating systems are supported? – Windows 7, 8, Mac Mavericks, Mountain Lion, etc.
What browsers and versions are supported? – Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safai, etc.
What connectivity will the users need? – Will the program be resident on a drive or will the learner need a network or wireless connection?
Your client, SME and department manager are probably not the only stakeholders. I recently had a "stealth" stakeholder pop up in the middle of production who wanted to view the e-learning project on his smartphone. The program was being developed for desktop only. Imagine the panic that ensued after that previously unidentified VIP appeared on my client's radar!
Who is responsible for each task in the production of the program?
Ask the right questions to make sure you are clear about everyone's responsibility on your development team. And be sure to have one person identified as the primary contact who has the authority to sign off on each stage of the project.
Do you have all the necessary production resources?
Script, storyboard, resource files (video, audio, graphics, reference materials, etc.), must all be identified, available and clearly distinguished as final or placeholder.
Does the training program need to be served and tracked by a LMS?
If so, be sure the output files from your authoring platform have been tested on that system.
Have clear, reasonable deadlines been established?
"Tomorrow" is not a workable deadline. Everyone wants to make up for lost time on the back-end. Be clear on the deadlines established, including work-in-progress deadlines like interface design, prototype design, beta release, etc. If deadlines are unattainable, seek out less-time consuming production alternatives.
The development of elearning courseware in the industrial market takes a considerable amount of time and resources. Eliminate wasted effort and frustration by asking the right questions BEFORE production begins.

Home » About Health Inequalities » At national level » Slovenia
The Republic of Slovenia is a parliamentary democratic republic with 2 million people. Slovenia joined the European Union and NATO in 2004, and the Eurozone in 2007. Slovenia has a strong economy and a stable democracy, with a nominal per capita GDP of $36,566 (2018 est.). The country scores relatively high on equality parameters. Slovenia is organised into 211 municipalities with local autonomy and 62 administrative districts. The districts function as sub-units of government administration. Regional differences in wealth are pronounced with large gaps between the east and the west. These disparities are echoed in health as large regional differences exist in alcohol consumption and related death rates. The risk of alcohol-related death is nearly three times higher in eastern compared to western Slovenia.
Life expectancy at birth was 80.9 years in 2015. Yet life expectancy at birth for Slovenian men is six years less than for women
and nearly seven years higher for men with a university education than those with lower secondary education. There are marked socioeconomic disparities and people with the lowest level of education are more than two and a half times as likely to live with diabetes and almost 40% more likely to live with asthma as those with the highest level of education. Behavioural risk factors are more common among population groups with lower income and lower levels of education. There is a pronounced gap of nearly five percentage points in daily smoking rates between adults with lower educational (16.4%) and higher educational (11%) attainment. Plus, the level of obesity in the population with lower education is more than two times that of the higher educated population. In 2015, Slovenia spent EUR 2 039 per head on health care. This equals 8.5% of GDP. However, its health system is one of the most expensive among the newer Member States.
The first initiative has taken place in 2000, when regional development agenda aimed at reducing regional disparities and included health. Also, financial measures were put forward by the Ministry of Health for innovative regional projects which aimed to tackle health inequalities. Two main policies, the "Strategy to Tackle Health Inequalities" and the "Health Promotion Strategy and Action Plan for Tackling Health Inequalities in Pomurje" have been considered as pilot initiatives. From 2005 onwards, when the debate on health inequalities strengthen also at international level, politicians become aware of the broader social determinants concept and this moved the debate at national level. However, only since 2009, social issues started to be more frequently connected to health.
The Slovenia Ministry of Health use Health Impact Assessment and cross-sectoral policy development as tools to address health inequalities. These efforts also take on a cross-governmental character, as a broad range of governmental policies has recognized the importance of social determinants of health inequalities. These include the labor market and fair wage policy, the social protection policy, the social inclusion policy, the pension policy, the balanced regional development policy, the fiscal expenditure policy and the housing policy. However, qualitative research and data is currently missing that indicates what approaches are working and why and also effective cross-sectoral mechanisms that would foster better cross-sectoral action are still lacking.
There are currently two important developments that may put health inequalities higher on the political agenda, and make it easier for stakeholders to advocate for the issue. Firstly a recent report on health inequalities in Slovenia, which for the first time linked health and access indicators to social economic status and thus took the broader determinants into account. Secondly, the National Health Plan 2016-2025 addresses key problems of health in Slovenia and the Slovenian health care system. One of the priorities of this document is health promotion and prevention of chronic/noncommunicable diseases. It prescribes the main tasks and actions needed to be taken. There is also specific focus on health inequalities and the socioeconomic gradient. The system of health care (accessibility to quality programmes of preventive medicine, treatment and rehabilitation) has, along with other determinants of health (education, economic-social class, culture, environment, ethnicity), an important impact on health inequalities. The National Health Plan strongly promotes "Health in All Policies".

Q: Create ready gentoo images for deployment Assume I know exactly what hardware each target machine contains.
Can I have reliable way to prepare images for target machines on my computer, which I can just copy over on that other drive and there she goes?
This has so many uses:
Preparing VMs
Deploying to older computers that need weeks to compile all the stuff...
Deploy to other architectures, like arm and mips for routers, singleboards, phones....
Is there any halfway reliable way for that?

Who Will Be Anthony Davis's Next Head Coach?
For the first time since the 2010-2011 season, the New Orleans Pelicans made the postseason. Unfortunately, that wasn't good enough for Monty Williams to keep his job.
Whatever the case may be, this doesn't change the fact that Williams is seeking new employment, and two-time All-Star Anthony Davis is in need of a new coach. While these two had formed a strong bond since Davis entered the NBA as the first overall pick in the 2012 draft, management didn't seem to let that influence its decision.
"Monty did a great job. He's done some really good things for us, but going forward we just felt like we needed something different to get to the next level," said Pelicans Executive Vice President Mickey Loomis. It's one thing to make the postseason as an eight seed, but it's another thing to help this team reach its full potential.
Davis is on his way to becoming the best player on the planet. This season he put up 24.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and a league-high 2.9 blocks per game. And despite all that, the Pelicans front office clearly believes feel that Williams was not the right fit moving forward. Now someone else will have the good fortune to inherit a group that features one of the game's best young talents.
Which individuals could potentially fill the coaching void in New Orleans? Here's a look at our thoughts.
Despite still being under the employment of the Chicago Bulls, you can't have an open coaching position in the NBA and not link it to Tom Thibodeau. It doesn't matter how many times the defensive specialist and Bulls brass try to skirt the subject — there is clearly tension between the two sides, and everyone knows it.
If this inevitable breakup occurs, you can bet the Pelicans' coaching vacancy would be enticing to the five-year head coach. It's a young team on the up-and-up that's finally tasted the postseason. Yet the Pelicans are still green enough that Thibs could mold them into a tougher, grittier group.
Also, is there anyone more equipped than Thibodeau to help Davis reach his full potential on the defensive end? After all, the two do have a relationship from USA Basketball — a familiarity that should only help the cause. If you ask us, this would be a win for all parties involved.
First-year head coach Steve Kerr may get the bulk of the credit for the Golden State Warriors' remarkable season, but this team would not be where it is without associate head coach Alvin Gentry. Lured away from the Los Angeles Clippers prior to 2014-2015 season, Gentry's work as the Dubs' offensive coordinator has helped this group become first in the NBA in points per game (110.0) and second overall in offensive rating (111.6).
If there's a good situation, yeah, I would like to be a head coach again. But it would have to be a situation that would have to be very good. What we got here is very special, and I've been in the league long enough to know that I wouldn't want to go into a situation that I didn't think had potential to be this way.
Does the New Orleans job fall into this category? Who knows. But if the Pelicans' higher-ups like Gentry for the position, they might want to make their intentions known. A guy like this may not be on the market for too long.
Thinking about this possibility just makes us smile. We understand that Mike D'Antoni hasn't had much success in his last few coaching endeavors, but it's time to leave the cynicism at the door. Sure, D'Antoni is not a defensive mastermind (that's putting it lightly), but the Brow is so good on that end of the floor that he is more than capable of offsetting his coach's limitations. What gets us pumped about this potential union is the offense.
It's been quite some time since D'Antoni was gifted a talented big man — in his prime — who was capable of handling the sort of uptempo offense he likes to run. Davis is already a complete freak of nature. But best of all, he hasn't even reached his prime yet. He is only going to get better. How scary is that? Think about what these two could accomplish together. Now try not to get excited.
You know you want this to happen. How could you not?

Beyond Campus
Sex in the Air: Freshmen Candidates Talk About Contraceptives, Intervis
Nick Fulchino	on September 13, 2018
Every year, a new class arrives on the hilltop, and it is up to them to elect their leadership to guide them through an inaugural year of learning and change. This year is no different as the Class of 2022, Saint Anselm College's largest class in history, met on Wednesday night to hear from candidates for the Student Government Association.
The first people to speak were the candidates for Senate. There are four candidates running for four senate seats. They are Michael Baumgartner, Jackson Peck, Aidan Pierce, and Kate Shubert.
Peck promised to work on campus-wide issues, like allowing students to get back unused meal plan funds at the end of the year. He also addressed recent budget cuts with an air of skepticism. "I want to know where my money's going," he told the class, noting that services seemed to be decreasing while tuition and fees increased.
Aidan Pierce promised he was "the best person to find out" what matters to the Class of 2022. He emphasized growing up in a working-class family. As a young teenager, Aidan worked jobs to help support his family. He noted that his financial aid package made him believe that Saint Anselm College wanted him here, and now he wants to give back to the school.
Like the candidates before him, Michael Baumgartner talked about a "vision for the future." He promised class members that he would fight for them. "Nothing will be as important to me as listening to your concerns and ideas," he explained.
The most rousing of the speeches came from Kate Shubert, a Politics major, who told the class she originally planned to run for class president. She raised eyebrows and drew applause when she argued that the issue she heard about most from classmates was that Saint Anselm College "pretends sex doesn't exist." She noted that the college's Catholic tradition prevents the school from providing students with contraceptives that can prevent the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases. She called providing condoms to students a "matter of safety."
Shubert's bold policy proposal immediately shifted the attitude of the room. In the question and answer periods for the senate, vice presidential, and presidential candidates, the issue of safe sex dominated. Members of the Class of 2022 expected candidates to take a stand on whether or not they believed that contraceptives should be readily available from the school and how they planned to implement such a change.
Vice presidential candidate Brendan Joyce, the tenth member of the Joyce family to attend Saint Anselm College, raised concerns about the college's intervisitation policy and said he wanted to work on a change to the policy while vice president. He also spent his speech talking about the values instilled in him as a child, saying his father always told him it was "more important to be a good man than a great man." He said he believed the same of Saint Anselm College and would work to get the school there. Joyce also expressed a desire to bring a fountain to campus.
His speech was followed by Tyler Cullen, a Londonderry, New Hampshire resident who emphasized his experience as a representative of his high school peers on the Londonderry School Board. As a student representative, Cullen said he had to deal with issues that are comparable to the ones facing Saint Anselm College, such as dealing with campus security in the wake of the Parkland shooting. During the question and answer period, Cullen voiced support for Shubert's proposal regarding contraceptives while noting a deep respect for the monastery. He also expressed a desire to work on recycling and avoiding littering on campus.
The most competitive race for the Class of 2022 is that of president, as is typical in freshman classes. There are four candidates: Sean Bentley, David Chairez, Gina Gagliardi, and Trever Nelson.
Nelson is a resident of Kennebunkport, Maine. He talked about his time working in student council as a high school student and his desire to be involved in the College Democrats while on campus. In the question and answer period, Nelson showed a deep concern for keeping the campus clean and preserving its beauty.
David Chairez hails from Los Angeles, California. He's a Post Malone fan and self-described "nerd" who said that he immediately felt a sense of family when he arrived on the Hilltop. He shared a vision of inclusion, emphasizing his desire to "unite as one school." When asked about the issue he cared most about, Chairez noted his desire to make Saint Anselm College the most inclusive and diverse school it can be, hoping to bring people of all backgrounds together.
Another contender is Gina Gagliardi, who introduced herself to the class by declaring, "I like warm hugs." Unlike many of her opponents, Gagliardi said that she didn't aspire to run for student government when she came to campus. Instead, one of her friends encouraged to her seek the position. While emphasizing a desire to hold fundraisers so the class is on a strong financial footing, Gagliardi was honest about her biggest goal as class president. "I just want to make you all happy," she said. Her jovial nature is embodied in her campaign slogan, "The girl with the smile will go the extra mile."
The final contender for president is Sean Bentley, a Politics major, who spent most of his time talking about school-wide issues, like reducing lines in Davison Hall and bringing a printer to every residence. He also joined others in calling for a change in the intervisitation policy. He hopes to expand the hours before scrapping the restrictions altogether. In high school, Bentley organized a backpack and school supplies drive for needy families.
On the controversial issues of contraceptives and intervisitation, Nelson and Gagliardi emphasized the need to bring both sides together and have an honest dialogue. Bentley and Chairez seemed to be more outraged by policies like intervisitation, promising to work to end the policy.
The candidate with the easiest night was Josh Pratt, a right-handed history and education double major from Concord, New Hampshire. Pratt is the only freshman running for secretary. He promised to be as transparent as possible in order to keep students informed of the issues the class council is discussing. In addition to taking thorough minutes, Pratt is excited to make Saint Anselm College into a home, not simply a school.
Voting is Wednesday, September 19 and Thursday, September 20.
UPDATE: The Hilltopper edited the paragraph about Sean Bentley's position on intervisitation. He believes that the current policy is too restrictive and supports expanding hours for intervisitation. He hopes to one day end the restrictions altogether. The wording has been changed to better reflect his position.

This is a "wordy" space, not one with many pictures. A picture sometimes does say (or paint?) a thousand words and last weekend, the numerous pictures Tress and I took would indeed, say a whole lot more than I can properly write.
Tress and I were at the Flowerdale Estate in the King Lake/southern Goulbourn Valley area. It's a serene pocket in Victoria. So peaceful you could hear the calls of half dozen or bird species calling out incessantly. Soft, lyrical calls which make the peaceful scene even more laid back. A particular type of rosella on the other hand, was very quiet but the half dozen or so feeding on the grounds of the property added such luscious colours we kept taking photos.
We arrived on Saturday afternoon just before 3pm. Tress and I had spent the morning cleaning the house. She vacuumed and I trimmed the hedges on our back fences, which are now over 7foot tall. We then had lunch at Madam K's before dropping LBJ off at George's just after 1pm.
On arrival, we quickly checked into our room and walked around the property. A small sheep paddock with maybe a dozen sheep on one stretch along a creek set against a backdrop of rolling hills looked so picturesque I wish I was a painter with a canvas and a palette full of colours. Some say winter creates a certain mood for a joint like this which in fact makes it a better time to visit. I can imagine however, the autumn colours doing so much more justice to the palette, or summer making it far more exciting to explore the creek. As it were, we tip toed past through the paddock towards the creek, manoeuvring past a minefield of very healthy looking sheep droppings. There was also a lake which was very still except when some ducks swim through it. A few more quaint features peppered across the property and we explored it enough to make dinner less guilty.
After a very thorough and wonderful dinner at Gracies' on the property, we went to our room to play with the photos we took, watched tv and then went to bed. In the morning it was back to Gracies for an equally delicious breakfast. We then left the property just after 11am, picked up LBJ just before 1pm and headed home. Once home, it was the usual routine of cooking for the week. This time Tress did some curries for our lunches and so the past couple of days I've had something more interesting than my usual bean salad. Happy.

The Government has announced that industries running critical infrastructure could face fines of up to £17 million if they do not have effective cyber security measures.
Energy, transport, water and health firms could be fined up to £17million if they fail to have the most robust safeguards in place against cyber-attacks.
New regulators will be able to assess critical industries, while a simple, straight-forward reporting system will make it easier to report cyber-breaches and IT failures, so they can be quickly identified and acted upon. Fines would be a last resort and will not apply to operators which have assessed the risks adequately, taken appropriate security measures and engaged with regulators but still suffered an attack.
The new measures follow the consultation held last year by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport seeking views from industry on how to implement the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive.
The NIS Directive is an important part of the Government's five-year £1.9 billion National Cyber Security Strategy to protect the nation from cyber threats and make the UK the safest place to live and work online. It wants to ensure that essential service operators are taking the necessary action to protect their IT systems.
