Can you believe that the Holidays are coming sooner than you can imagine? If you haven't already picked out gifts for your loved ones, here's a subscription box that you can gift with pride.
Love with Food is a snack subscription box, which will definitely be an excellent surprise for the foodies in your lives. What I must highlight is the fact that for every box sold, Love with Food donates a meal to several food banks! Now, how's that for giving?!
Love With Food helps you discover new organic or all-natural snacks delivered to your door every month. Our subscription membership starts as low as $9.99/month. Every month, Love With Food members will receive a curated box of unique, hard-to-find tasty snacks which varies based on seasonal themes.
There are three plans for Love with Food.
My family and I have already eaten a lot of different snacks, and we have really been enjoying them. We even busted out the White Bean Santa Fe Chili, and it was delicious, and I'm already trying to find more like it. What I love the most about these subscription boxes is that depending on which box you purchase, you could feed 1 – 2 meals to hungry children in America.
Also, with Black Friday rapidly approaching,here's what you need to know! All subscriptions will be 15% off on Black Friday and on Cyber Monday, as well.
Are you a snackaholic or a foodie or know someone who would love this?
What a great sounding subscription box– everything looks so yummy! I love that they have such an important philanthropic component to their business! There are lots of hungry children who could really benefit from this!
This would be a lovely gift for that foodie in your life!
yum, yum, yum, and I love that they give back to US kids in need!
YUMMY!!! This is every pregnant girls dream haha I need to check this out!
I think it's so wonderful that they are charitable. That would make me feel proud to give this as a gift.
Nice to see a twist to usual sub boxes…. snacks!
My son would come over, eat his way through all three in about five minutes flat, chug a soda, say it was nice to see me and take off.
Haha, this is what I have to look forward to with my little, right? He doesn't eat so much… yet….
Ooh so much chocolate! Anything with chocolate is a win for me!
Ohh YUM! I love snackie boxes!
Ooh, this si so neat! It would make such a great gift for hard to buy for people.


Great review, Jamie. I might have to check this one out. Fingers crossed for Spain later in the week. The US game against Ghana could be a tricky one for Jurgen's mob!
Man, Spain really better get their act together. That was a crushing blow. Maybe that's what they needed to remind them that they can still lose!
I'm excited for the US vs. Ghana game! They can win, they just gotta get it together! I wish I could watch the Germany/Portugal game – that's going to be a good one too!
Chandler is fantastic! Love his books and his podcasts. I think my bible study is going to do the full Recovering Redemption study this Fall. I'm excited!

Shell Parameter Space
Fullscreen (disabled)
This implementation of David Raup's parameter space for modeling shells is similar to the Demonstration contributed by Phil Ramsden. However, this model also allows for the manipulation of the shell thickness, a parameter potentially useful from a biological viewpoint. In certain species of snails, there is evidence that snail shell thickness correlates to the threat of predation from surrounding invasive species, such as crabs.

Live recording with luminaries from two of the planet's bleeding-edge jazz scenes—London & Chicago!
Recorded live at Total Refreshment Centre 18 & 19 October 2017 (CHICAGOxLONDON), where 20 musicians and creative minds were involved in a five day mini-residency between two of the most vibrant Jazz scenes at the moment: Chicago and London. The first two days of the showcase was when all of the material was recorded. Days three and four consisted of mixing and mastering the sweaty live concert sessions, and the fifth day was reserved for an event called "Fresh Roasted" where live beat-making and remixing of stems recorded from the live sessions took place. Producers Ben Lamar Gay, Emma-Jean Thackray, Lefto, Quiet Dawn and Don Leisure & Earl Jeffers (of the Darkhouse Family) all pitch in great contributions to giving this live Jazz recording that special mixtape feeling.
Performed by Makaya McCraven - drums; Soweto Kinch - saxophone, voice; Theon Cross - tuba; Joe Armon-Jones - Rhodes piano; Nubya Garcia - saxophone; Kamaal Williams - keys.
12" vinyl LP packaged in heavyweight matte jacket, with printed insert, obi strip & 2 sided IARC/TRC patterned inner sleeve.
Remix Production & Additional Overdubs by LeFtO; Don Leisure & Earl Jeffers (Darkhouse Family); Ben LaMar Gay; Emma-Jean Thackray; Quiet Dawn; Lexus Blondin.

Supernova SN 2005E Says Hello to the Universe
Supernova SN 2005E shines brightly on the edge of spiral galaxy NGC 1032
An explosion for all time
Astronomy News – A supernova is one of the most spectacular and massive events astronomers journeying backward to the beginning of space and time view, and can often be billions of times as bright as Sol, or shine brighter than an entire galaxy. Take a journey to a supernova, like SN 2005E, which astronomers became aware of when it lite up the spiral galaxy NGC 1032 in 2005, and your view of life and the universe would change forever.
Supernova SN 2005E is shown in the halo of NGC 1032 (red arrow)
Astronomers spend countless hours looking for new supernovae to study
Astronomers had previously only viewed supernovae occurring in two ways during their Journey to the Beginning of Space and Time. In the first example, the massive core of a star collapses inward near the end of its life cycle, creating a shock wave that expels the star's outer layers into the cold darkness of space and time. In the second, a white dwarf star steals matter from a companion star, until it reaches 1.4 solar masses. At this point, the white dwarf star is unable to support more mass, according to natural law, and detonates in a titanic stellar explosion brighter than a galaxy.
A team of astronomers looking at the data obtained by space scientists studying supernova SN 2005E believe this supernova could represent a third as yet unseen, path nature uses to create a supernova. This analysis of this team of scientists has determined that this supernova occurred in a region of space and time devoid of massive stars. They also determined that this supernova only ejected a small volume of stellar material (0.3 solar masses) and abnormally high levels of calcium and radioactive titanium into the universe.
Team member Alex Filipenko of the University of California, Berkeley, and team leaders Hagai Perets of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge and Avishay Gal-Yam of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, conclude supernova SN 2005E took place between a low-mass white dwarf star that was stealing helium from a companion star. They also believe the volume of calcium released during supernova SN 2005E was large enough that only a few similar supernovae would be sufficient per century to provide all of the calcium presently viewed in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Health plans are recognized yearly by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through its National Environmental Leadership Award in Asthma Management for pioneering innovative strategies and programs to help consumers better manage their asthma. Their work in providing access to asthma care services is important, as asthma affects more than 25 million Americans each year, including nearly 7 million children. Asthma costs include an estimated $50 billion in health care expenses, as well as days missed from work and school.
Since 2005, the U.S. EPA has recognized more than 34 health plans, health care providers, and community programs through this national award. Health plan awardees include Blue Cross of California, State Sponsored Business Unit; Centene Corporation, Nurtur, Managed Health Services; L.A. Cares About Asthma; Monroe Plan for Medical Care; Neighborhood Health Plan; Optima Health, Peach State Health Plan; and Priority Health.
Health insurance plans have long been committed to improving the lives of individuals with asthma through comprehensive asthma management strategies. Their approaches involve evidence-based asthma interventions to improve quality of care and lower health care costs; data analytics and outreach programs to identify and engage members into patient-centered asthma care programs; and partnerships with regional, state and community-based organizations to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate care to members with asthma.
To learn about the 2016 application process for the EPA Award and for more information on AHIP's multi-year cooperative agreement with the EPA and opportunities to get involved, please visit http://ahip.org/asthma/.

Police ready to deal with an animal cruelty case when called to a house by neighbours who could not ignore the howls of a tortured dog were startled to find the miserable noise coming from a parrot.
Officers were called to the house in Herbrechtingen, Baden-Württemberg by neighbours who said they had been disturbed by howling for hours, and were sure the source must be a dog in terrible condition.
When they made the landlord open the door, the officers found a perfectly healthy, but obviously bored parrot, howling away on its own.
To top it off, one of the policemen put his finger towards the bird in a friendly gesture, only to receive a nasty bite, according to the police report.


Goulburn Council has a 6 month weather window for carrying out hot bitumen spray seal works, which can be limiting if scopes are delayed. A contractor has recently suggested we trial the use of a polymer modified cold bitumen emulsion as an option to extend this window. Does any one have data on the performance of this product compared with the hot bituem equivalent for resealing works. We currently use an unmodified cold bitumen emulsion in a paveline truck for small repairs, but have not considered the modified option for larger capital works.
Orange City Council would be interested in any response you get to this item Martin as we have similar seasonal issues.
I refer back to my post on the Forum last 25 October in regard to a unique cold mix asphalt called Carboncor. The Australian Company is now just less than 12 months old.
Carboncor was developed 20 years ago in South Africa, is an anionic cold mix which includes carbon as well as surfactants and a number of classified additives. Carboncor is activated by water - by a water truck on larger jobs or by a watering can on potholes.
A typical resurface would be 27 - 30mm compacted to 20mm, the compaction with only a 3.5 tonne roller, preferably pneumatic wheeled to achieve a better finished surface.
I don't believe Carboncor has any representation yet in NSW, but I signed last week for Central and North Queensland.
However, to start a conversation, email Johan Potgeiter, Sales Director - Australia on johan@carboncorproducts.com and he will be more than happy to answer any enquiry.

Fritz Joachim Raddatz (* 3. September 1931 in Berlin; † 26. Februar 2015 in Pfäffikon ZH, Schweiz) war ein deutscher Feuilletonist, Essayist, Biograph und Romancier, der als einer der einflussreichsten deutschen Literaturkritiker seiner Zeit galt.

Leben
Fritz Joachim Raddatz' Mutter Alice, eine "Pariserin aus reichem Haus", starb nach seinen Angaben bei seiner Geburt oder an anderer Stelle im Januar 1933. Der Vater war ein ihm später namentlich geläufiger "nicht unbekannter" Mann, den er aus diesem Grund nicht nennen wollte. Sein Stiefvater war während des Ersten Weltkrieges Angehöriger von Richthofens Staffel und während der Weimarer Republik Direktionsmitglied des Filmunternehmens UFA. Raddatz schilderte ihn als aggressiv und brutal, machte ihn für körperliche Misshandlungen in seiner Kindheit und die Zuführung zu erzwungenem Sex mit seiner Stiefmutter Irmgard verantwortlich.

Als der Stiefvater 1946 starb, bekamen Fritz und seine Schwester zunächst französische Pässe, doch übernahm dann der 31-jährige protestantische Theologe Hans-Joachim Mund seine Vormundschaft. Dieser begann mit dem fünfzehnjährigen Raddatz – gemäß dessen Schilderung – eine Affäre. Raddatz legte an der Askanischen Oberschule in Berlin-Tempelhof sein Abitur ab. Wie sein Vormund ging Raddatz 1950 aus politischer Überzeugung nach Ostberlin. Er studierte dort Germanistik, Geschichte, Theaterwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Amerikanistik und legte 1953 sein Staatsexamen an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ab. 1958 folgte die Promotion.

Als Zwanzigjähriger schrieb Raddatz für die Berliner Zeitung. Von 1953 bis 1958 war er Leiter der Auslandsabteilung und stellvertretender Cheflektor beim Verlag "Volk und Welt" in Ost-Berlin. Nach lange währenden Konflikten mit Regierungs- und Parteibehörden der DDR siedelte er 1958 in die Bundesrepublik über. 1971 wurde er an der Universität Hannover bei Hans Mayer habilitiert.

1960 wurde er Cheflektor und stellvertretender Verlagsleiter des Rowohlt Verlags unter Heinrich Maria Ledig-Rowohlt sowie Herausgeber der Taschenbuchreihe rororo-aktuell. 1969 musste er diese Funktion aufgrund der sogenannten "Ballonaffäre" aufgeben, dem Abwurf von 50.000 im Auftrag von Rowohlt gedruckten Exemplaren der Erinnerungen von Jewgenija Ginsburg über dem Gebiet der DDR. Ab 1976 war er Leiter des Feuilletons der Wochenzeitung Die Zeit. 1985 schied er nach der Verwendung falscher Goethe-Zitate in einem Leitartikel aus diesem Amt aus, blieb aber weiter als Kulturkorrespondent bei der Wochenzeitung tätig. Das falsche Zitat fiel auf, weil er es nicht aus Werken Goethes, sondern aus einer Glosse der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung entnommen hatte (die ein satirischer Beitrag war). In dem Text wurde der Frankfurter Bahnhof erwähnt, den Goethe gar nicht gekannt haben kann, da er erst über 50 Jahre nach dessen Tod gebaut und eröffnet wurde.

Mit Mary Gerold-Tucholsky gab Raddatz Kurt Tucholskys Gesammelte Werke in 10 Bänden (Reinbek 1975) heraus.

Auf Grundlage seiner seit 1982 geführten Tagebücher veröffentlichte er 2003 den Erinnerungsband Unruhestifter; die Tagebücher selbst erschienen in redigierter Form 2010 und 2014. Seine Tagebücher sind nach Ansicht von Hellmuth Karasek ein Panoptikum der west- und ostdeutschen Verlags- und Autorenszene nach 1945. Neben seiner journalistischen Arbeit legte er eine Vielzahl von Essays, Romanen und Biografien vor.

Er war offen bisexuell, nach eigenem Bekunden weit überwiegend mit männlichen Partnern, und lebte in Hamburg mehr als 30 Jahre lang mit seinem Lebenspartner Gerd Bruns zusammen, davon 13 Jahre in einer eingetragenen Partnerschaft.

Im September 2014 gab Raddatz bekannt, sich aus dem aktiven Journalismus zurückziehen zu wollen. Grund dafür sei, dass er sich nicht mehr als zeitgemäß empfinde. Die aktuelle Lyrik und die zeitgenössischen Romane seien für ihn nicht mehr interessant und vor allem nicht mehr liebenswert.

Zu seinem langjährigen Freund Arno Widmann sagte er: "Irgendwann muss Schluss sein". Raddatz wollte das Ende seines Lebens selbst bestimmen. Er war seit langer Zeit ein Anhänger des begleiteten Suizids und hielt ihn für eine würdige Form, das Leben zu beenden. Wichtig war ihm: "Eben nicht zu warten, bis der Schlaganfall kommt, in seltsamer Finsternis zu versinken, in die kein Mensch mehr eindringen kann". So wählte Raddatz den in der Schweiz legalen begleiteten Suizid. Er starb am 26. Februar 2015, einen Tag vor dem Erscheinen seines letzten Buches Jahre mit Ledig. Eine Erinnerung, im "Sterbehaus" von Dignitas am Ufer des Pfäffikersees. Sein Grab liegt auf dem Friedhof von Keitum auf Sylt, wo er die Grabstelle und den Grabstein bereits Jahre vor seinem Tod gekauft hatte.

Funktionen und Mitgliedschaften
Fritz J. Raddatz war ab 1969 Vorsitzender der Kurt-Tucholsky-Stiftung, Mitglied im PEN-Zentrum Deutschland und der Hamburger Freien Akademie der Künste.

Auszeichnungen

François Mitterrand verlieh ihm den Orden Officier des Arts et des Lettres. 2010 erhielt Raddatz den Hildegard-von-Bingen-Preis für Publizistik.

Alan Moore F****** Hates HBO's 'Watchmen': I'm Here For It
Published by gabrielpino
Oh what a time to be a Watchmen fan. I have seen the released trailer, and though I'm a HUGE fan of the graphic novel (a book I suggest everyone, and I mean EVERYONE read) I am equally intrigued and mesmerized be its creator, Alan Moore. Not familiar with the grumpy genius? Well, in the comic world he is known for his creations such as Batman's The Killing Joke, his run on Swamp Thing, which brought the character to critical acclaim, the mind-blowing V for Vendetta, and of course the unmatched Watchmen. Now, when I say this man is grumpy I am putting it VERY nicely. Having known about the creator for some time I can tell you that Alan Moore HATES any and all adaptations of his work. He is not for it AT. ALL. This man has spoken some real S*** when it has come to live-action versions of his creations or even taking his characters and recycling them with new writers/artists. Can we understand the anger? After all, imagine creating a piece of …

Time to Call Time of Death for 'The New Mutants'
Everyone may remember the dumpster fire that was Dark Phoenix (or maybe not… not like anyone went to go see it), but what may have gone under the radar for some is how that movie was being described as Fox Studios' final project in the world of the mutants. Umm… this is awkward. Almost two years ago Fox Studios released the first and only trailer for it's horror film, The New Mutants, a spin-off film that would have released after the final X film. What is this group of young weirdos? Well, based on a younger team, the New Mutants was a spin-off comic released in the early 80's. Like it's flagship title, the Uncanny X-Men, The New Mutants took several issues before finding it's beat. That day came with the release of issue #18 which kicked off the famous Demon Bear Saga that, coincidentally enough, was the inspiration for the unreleased film. So, what happened to the project? Shortly after the release of the initial trailer the film went through several release date push-backs until …
What Bombs to Expect at D23?
With Comic-con behind us, attention now turns to next month's D23 Disney Expo. You might be thinking we should have our nerd guts full from all the MCU reveals over the weekend, but to you I say- NOPE. Kevin Feige said it himself! They didn't have time to talk Captain Marvel 2, Black Panther 2, GOTG Vol 3, Fantastic Four, and "mutants." Will we have phase five announcements with phase four not having yet begun? I wouldn't be surprised if they did. After all, Feige confirms that they have their phase 5 mapped out. We know the previously mentioned films are definitely happening. Therefore touching on them at next months expo doesn't feel unreasonable. Since Marvel Studios belongs to Disney, I would expect that the BIG news bombs would be saved for this event instead of Comic-con. What kind of bombs? 1: Fantastic Four Casting: They managed to sneak attack us not only with the announcement of a Blade film, but the surprise casting of Mahershala Ali in the title role! It is wildly important …
'Young Justice' and the Mystery of the Token Gay Character
Young Justice has returned for the second half of its third season over on DC Universe. While I'm enjoying the plot unfold and getting to see more familiar faces for the DC world make their series debut, I am still caught up on trying to figure out just WHO the show-runners were referring to when they said, "gay characters have always been present on the team." I blogged about this during the first half of the season. Though I haven't posted reviews for the latest episodes, they did provide more information for who could and couldn't be ruled out. So, let's take it from the top people! Team roll call! Just like last time, since Weisman said the character(s) have been present since the end of season two, we will omit the mention of any outsiders or others brought on since the beginning of the current season. S1 characters Nightwing- No. He is very much with Barbara Gordon. Superboy- He is engaged to Miss Martian Miss Martian- ditto Kid Flash- Dead and was with Artemis …
'Beautiful Thing' Review
The LGBT appreciation continues with the review of not just one of my favorite LGBT movies, but one of my favorite movies PERIOD of all time- Beautiful Thing. Talk about a film before it's time! I discovered this movie back in 2006. As a gay teen with little places to find representation (let alone a sign of hope), this film REALLY left a stamp on my soul that maybe things don't have to be so bad! Following Ste (Scott Neal) a stern teen with an abusive father and brother along with Jaime (Glen Berry) his next door neighbor with a rocky mother-son relationship of his own, we have the first (and only?) gay teen romance movie! There are no negatives! I just want to take the time to highlight what made this film such a timeless icon. Not Another Gay Tragedy: When it comes to gay representation we are usually given the gay comic relief or the story of the gay tragedy. The latter has not been in short supply when it comes to gay …

'Downton Abbey' First Trailer
Look, this show was so good that it was really just about rich people in the past having dinner and we were hooked! Downton Abbey has to be one of my ALL TIME favorite shows.

Homosexuality was of course …
Why Todd Phillips' 'Joker' Just Might Work
I have been the loudest voice against this movie. I have said time and time again that Warner/DC should be focusing it's efforts on building up their heroes along with villains, set in a modern setting where crossovers can happen, and that creating a Joker movie without Batman would be against the very identity of the character. After seeing the trailer for the film last week I have to say-I may have to eat my words. The Joker himself has said it himself, he exists because of the Batman. He is completed because of the Batman. If there were no Batman it would be no fun to do the things he does. They are both products of madness. They are both products of a corrupt and fucked up world. Where one chose to do evil the other chose to defend good. They cancel each other out. Heath Ledger's Joker said it at the end of the Nolan film- Batman will never kill the Joker because that's a line he cannot cross and the Joker will …

Medical Expert Confirms Unborn Children Feel Excruciating Pain During Abortions
Texas Right to Life Dec 12, 2018 | 5:17PM Washington, DC
The announcement of President Donald Trump's selection of Dr. Maureen Condic for his administration's science advisory board sparked outrage among abortion activists. Condic is an associate professor of neurology and anatomy at the University of Utah School of Medicine, where she has been since 1997.
With a successful career studying neural development and providing expert testimony to state and national legislative bodies, Condic's appointment to the National Science Board seems apt. Yet, abortion activists are outraged because Condic has publicly testified about the science of fetal pain. What the controversy reveals is that abortion on demand requires adherents to ignore the clear personhood, development, and Right to Life of the preborn baby. Science demonstrates that Life begins at conception and preborn babies feel pain. But for abortion activists, loyalty to abortion trumps recognizing scientific fact.
The Salt Lake Tribune quoted Alexandra Eller, a maternal-fetal medicine doctor, describing Dr. Condic by saying, "This is a woman who has scientific credentials, but she uses those credentials against science." She added, "I think that's dangerous."
What has Dr. Condic done that is "dangerous"? She has testified in support of legislation, like that in Texas, which protects pain-capable preborn babies from a tortuous and violent death through abortion. These laws are a significant step toward acknowledging the full rights of preborn babies as human beings and the state's interest in protecting preborn Life.
Dr. Condic testified before Congress about the capacity of preborn babies to have a mature perception of pain at 20 weeks' gestation, saying:
You know, we're all horrified by the pictures of the infants that were brutally killed by convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell. And yet we tolerate the same brutality – and even worse – for humans at 20 weeks of development. Imposing pain on any pain-capable living creature is cruelty, and ignoring the pain experienced by another human for any reason is barbaric. We don't need to know if a fetus experiences pain precisely in the same way we do. We simply have to decide whether we're going to choose to ignore the pain of the fetus, or not. It is entirely uncontested in the scientific and medical literature that the fetus experiences pain in some capacity from as early as eight weeks.
Despite the peer-reviewed studies and research backing her claims, Dr. Condic is vilified by abortion activists for being "unscientific." Leah Torres, a Salt Lake City abortionist best known for her inflammatory tweets told the Tribune, "She is willfully ignorant or not up-to-date," this despite the fact that Dr. Condic is on the cutting-edge of research into prenatal neural development.
Dr. Condic explained to the Tribune, "The neural circuitry underlying the most basic response to pain is in place by eight weeks. It is entirely uncontested in the scientific and medical literature that a fetus experiences pain in some capacity from as early as eight weeks." This information has been found through scientific study, not, as abortion activists falsely claim, through Pro-Life activists manipulating data. Eller called Condic's work "a coercion of science to forward a political agenda," but the error seems rather to be on the part of abortion activists who refuse to acknowledge scientific evidence that calls into question the ethics and legal status of elective abortion.
Dr. Condic clarified to the Tribune, "I'm not reporting bad science. I'm reporting an interpretation of science that's open to discussion." At the heart of Dr. Condic's interpretation is the basic theory of human rights that demands that we err on the side of Life. In no other circumstance would people assume that a person can be ripped limb from limb while her heart is still beating simply because we cannot get a first-hand account of the type of pain she is experiencing.
A writer for Slate railing against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act wrote, "What's clear is that 20 weeks is just a politically convenient line drawn, for the time being, along this continuum. If pro-lifers can nudge Congress, the public, and the Supreme Court from the viability marker to the pain marker, they'll keep pushing the line backward until abortion is completely illegal."
This is precisely why abortion activists are so afraid of the Pro-Life movement's successful lobbying for legislation that protects pain-capable preborn babies. The abortion industry does not want public discourse to turn to the child in the womb and does not want people to consider, often for the first time, the rights of a living child who can be killed in legal, elective abortion. Prenatal development is a continuum, and once people have accepted that we as a society cannot kill preborn babies who feel pain, they will likely begin to consider whether we can kill any preborn child. As laws passed in Texas continue to challenge the legal foundation of Roe v. Wade, we move toward not simply making abortion "completely illegal" but toward a just society that recognizes the rights of all human beings.
The recent backlash from abortion activists against Dr. Condic's appointment makes clear that some vocal ideologues in the medical community are committed to abortion before science. As Dr. Condic's unflinching advocacy for pain-capable preborn babies has shown time and again, science is on the side of Life.

[GUILLET, André Georges]. Athènes ancienne et nouvelle. Et l'estat present de l'empire des Turcs… Avec le plan de la ville d'Athènes, par le Sr. de la Guilletière, Paris, Estienne Michallet, M.DC.LXXV [=1675].
In the prologue to this book, André Georges Guillet (1624-1705), historian and member of the Acadèmie Royale de Peinture, explains that the ensuing narrative is based on the text of his brother, La Guilletière, which Guillet enriched with extracts from ancient and contemporary literary texts. It is unclear whether La Guilletière was a real or an imaginary person, but he is supposed to have travelled in the Ottoman territories in 1669, after the end of his captivity in Algeria.
This first edition was highly successful and had gone out of print within three months, but became the object of harsh criticism on grounds of its historical inaccuracies by J. Spon, "the true introducer of the archaeology of Athens". Guillet responded with a witty and vitriolic attack. Doubts on the credibility of the text continued to be expressed up until the 20th century.
It is nevertheless certain that, with their meticulous reports, observations and studies, French consul in Athens Giraud and the Capucine missionaries contributed so that ancient and modern Athens become part of European conscience. As Guillet notes: "Of all ancient cities, none but Athnes has preserved its name. Our geographers have tried to corrupt it in vain. The inhabitants, Greek and Turkish, all write and pronounce Athens." Soon thereafter La Guilletière published a similar edition, this time a fictitious narrative on Sparta, "Lacedemone ancienne et nouvelle...", which includes one of the oldest descriptions of Mani.
If one overlooks obscurities concerning the narrator's itinerary and experiences, the rest of the text is a work rich in historical information on Athens and Sparta. The edition on Athens includes a map of the city with monuments and other important locations, as well as a very interesting representation of a Roman theatre.
Written by Ioli Vingopoulou
Map of Athens. The author notes some of the most important monuments of the city.
Reconstruction of a certain monument, possibly of the Roman Odeon of Athens. This drawing was published in 1672, as a reconstruction of the Amphitheater of Verona. However, the same drawing had been published even earlier, in Hieronymus Mercurialis' "De Arte Gymnastica".

New Bike Lane Aims To Prevent Burger-Related Collisions
SDOT added a bike lane in front of Dick's Burger's in 2017, but more are needed along the corridor. (Photo by Stephen Fesler)
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) installed a new bike lane in Wallingford a week ago. The one-block bike lane should provide a welcome measure of safety to people biking in front of Dick's Drive-In, a bustling burger joint. The bike lane, located on the south side of NE 45th St, heads in the eastbound, downhill direction.
The short bike lane segment was a high priority for SDOT due to the unique conditions of the street.
"This location was identified as a high collision location for bicyclists," said Karen Westing, an SDOT communications specialist. "There was a pattern of vehicles turning into bicyclists coming down the hill on 45th at the driveway of Dick's Drive-in, which has a high volume of visitors. We installed a buffer to formalize the lane where vehicles should be, create a space for bikes, and added green paint at the driveway entrances to identify the conflict zone and alert drivers more clearly of the presence of bicyclists."
Looking back up the hill.
The spot improvement had been marked on the street for well over a year, but full thermoplastic markings were not installed until Saturday October 14th. SDOT said the delay was related to poor weather conditions after the initial sketch markings.
"SDOT crews did layout in 2016, however, due to the extended period of wet weather, the installation was delayed until we could ensure the treatment could be appropriately installed," Karen Westing said.
The project cost was fairly minimal at just under $4,200 for the full-block installation. While the spot bike facility should improve safety on this portion of the NE 45th St corridor, the remainder of the corridor lacks any similar treatments. Plans to further improve the corridor are a few years off yet, SDOT said.
The Bicycle Master Plan identifies bike improvements across I-5 on NE 45th St in and around 2021. The implementation timing mirrors the planned construction timing for the Market RapidRide bus corridor. That line would run between Ballard and the University District largely via N/NE 45th St. Planning for the corridor is slated to begin next year, which will undoubtedly involve discussions for how bike facilities should be accommodated.

Darn it SDOT, you repainted the same unsafe design you put in four years ago! Simply adding new paint doesn't prioritize people who walk or bike at all.
Let me explain. The current design asks people on bikes heading quickly downhill (going east) to veer closer to the Dick's driveways for a single block and then veer back into traffic after passing the Dick's property. These two sudden movements are recipes for car-bike conflict. The uphill bike lane (heading west) stays in a straight line as a sharrow. Any sharrow is rarely ideal, but still provides predictable and consistent movement.
This block also has a fair amount of pedestrian traffic — many people drawn by the burgers and nearby taco trucks. There's not even a nod to that late night foot traffic.
So what would I suggest to prioritize walking and biking here? Close one of the two wide Dick's driveways or at least narrow them. Put down bright, textured strips and put up signs in the driveway to alert young and often distracted drivers that people who walk or bike might be crossing. Don't force people on bikes to swerve twice but keep them in a straight line in the downhill direction.
I know this is a high conflict area — I live close by — but putting bright colors on a previously deficient design doesn't do much to increase safety for all road users.

Daigoro Toyama October 24, 2017 At 12:43 pm
I agree with Cathy. In my opinion, to make walking/biking safe on that part of NE 45th requires removal of all the major driveway conflict points, including the driveway in and out of Dick's.
Mike Carr October 24, 2017 At 4:50 pm
Without the driveways at Dicks, would you still call it "Dick's Drive In"?

Dialogues, from Africa: Juan Orrantia and Vincent Bezuidenhout
ATKV Pretpark from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
Post by Juan Orrantia
"Dialogues, from Africa" is a series made in response to Alejandro Cartagena's running series in fototazo, that wants to extend the dialogue across the Atlantic, but further south. Having been based in Johannesburg for some time now, I have always felt the need to create a space of dialogue where photographers working in Africa and Latin America learn about each other's work, but that is not filtered through the galleries or mainstream media of the global north. The world we live in is not one where limits are traced easily, and within these spaces photographic traditions are increasingly varied, recognized, ignored and reconceptualized. Africa is as complex and varied as Latin America, and this series wants to recognize the current engagements of photographers from the continent with their own histories and the current environments of contemporary photography. In so doing we hope to open a space that enables a dialogue with their peers in Latin America.
The first post in the series was with Alexia Webster and the second with Musa Nxumalo.
Juan Orrantia (b. Bogota, Colombia, based in Johannesburg, South Africa) Relying on the evocative as a form of documentary his photographic works use banality and imagination as sites from where to explore experiences of the aftermath of violence; the lives and affects of postcolonial cities; memory and the cocaine trade; and the legacies of anticolonial thinker Amilcar Cabral. Awards include the Tierney Fellowship in Photography, solo exhibitions in Germany, Colombia and South Africa, as well as participation in various group shows including the New York Photo Festival, Le Cube (Paris), Cape Town Month of Photography, Bonani Africa Festival of Photography and Ethnographic Terminalia (New Orleans). His work has appeared in fototazo, Foto 8, Sensate, and other online media platforms and journals.
Vincent Bezuidenhout is a visual artist born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He holds a Masters Degree in Fine Art from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town.
Bezuidenhout is a Tierney Fellow and was part of the 2013/14 Photoglobal Programme at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
He currently lives and works between Cape Town and New York City.
Green Point Common from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
Juan Orrantia: Where are you based? Why?
Vincent Bezuidenhout: I am based in Cape Town, South Africa but over the least year I have been part of a special residency program called Photoglobal at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
As a South African artist making work about South Africa it is important for me to spend time here, but it is also vital for artists to travel and expand on their experiences. I always feel invigorated and seem to understand South Africa even better after having left for periods of time and returning.
JO: How and why did you starting working in photography?
VB: I started making photographs by taking a photography course at my local University when I left high school. I knew I wanted to work in the arts, but was not sure how to go about it having grown up in a very conservative community in the death throes of Apartheid. Coming from this environment, where art was the furthest thing on people's minds, photography seemed like a more accessible medium, as something that anyone could engage with as opposed to the other mediums.
Strandfontein Pavilion from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
JO: What are your projects about, and major themes in your work?
VB: My process is research-intensive and investigates the relationships between identity and power and the authenticity of memory in both past and present histories in South Africa. At the same time I am also interested in the changes and perceived limitations of the medium of photography as it continues to shift away from its origins.
In 2010 I was awarded the Tierney Fellowship while reading for an MFA at the University of Cape Town. I had the privilege of receiving support and mentorship from artists such as Stephen Shore, David Goldblatt and Roger Ballen, which was a tremendous period of growth for me as an artist. The resulting body of photographs entitled "Separate Amenities" (2010-2012) deals with South Africa's segregated recreational spaces built during apartheid. In my research I dealt with both spatial and art historical notions of the landscape as a construct, but my concerns developed towards the intentions, both political and psychological, of those who built these spaces and how in turn the contemporary constructed landscape reflects the notions of those who had shaped it.
Wild Waters from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
While "Separate Amenities" was a starting point for expounding my political concerns regarding the nature of power through the investigation of history, I also became acutely aware of how censorship had shaped South African society. Similar to the social engineering resulting from the constructed segregated landscape of apartheid, control of information also meant psychological segregation, the mind construct of the "other." I examine censorship both historically and in regards to the current political climate in South Africa by using ideas of absence, omission and cover-ups to convey these ideas.
My practice has shifted towards a more conceptual framework of dealing with these issues in recent times. I am currently working with elements of photojournalism, image appropriation, landscape photography, video and intervention, but in a manner that reflects on the limitations of all these strategies in terms of their use in artistic practice.
I use strategies such as these in order to construct my own narrative that allows me to expand on and re-contextualize the various facts and theories surrounding history. The development from a formal enquiry through photography, into a more conceptual, multi disciplinary approach allows me to reflect on my own identity within the South African historiography.
Maiden's Cove from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
JO: What is your experience with other photographers and traditions from the (African) continent? How did you learn of them or their work?
VB: I was introduced to many photographers from South Africa through the Tierney Fellowship, but have also been able to meet other photographers from the continent through organizations and events such as the Bamako Biennial and on various artist residencies. African photographers are in a unique position today to create their own place within the medium and I strongly believe in photographers from the continent coming together to forge there own history instead of the more established international centers of photography doing it for us.
Oudekraal from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
JO: How do you feel your young approach speaks/rejects/debates or expands themes or works in South African photography of the previous generation?
VB: While South African photography is very much rooted in the documentary tradition I see more and more conceptual practices developing in South Africa. There is no question that the African diaspora and increased recognition of African artists abroad have greatly influenced the practices being implemented by emerging photographers. In my approach, greatly influenced by my background and the places I have lived in all over the world, I try to challenge traditional approaches in photography as I feel it is impossible not to considering the radical changes the medium has undergone in recent times.
Green Point Stadium from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
King's Beach from the series "Separate Amenities" © Vincent Bezuidenhout
JO: Are there themes or styles that your work shares with other African photographers?
VB: In terms of my early landscape work, it is impossible not to mention David Goldblatt who continues to be a great influence on all local photographers through his generosity and commitment to South African photography. Artists such as Monique Pelser and Chad Rossouw are challenging traditional concepts of photo-based art, which is an approach I am also following in my new work.
JO: Where do you see your work going otherwise, how is your practice evolving?
VB: As mentioned my practice is taking on an increasing conceptual, multi-disciplinary approach that will continue into the future. I am very interested in shifting my work into a more public space where it can comment on universal concerns in a direct fashion. I want to continue to challenge traditional ideas about photography and consider the shifting role of the medium in contemporary art practices.

This should be so encouraging to those of you who are sick of being frightened, who are sick of fear, sick of anger. You don't need some sort of new program. You need to sit down and get quiet and turn the light of the mind inward.

What is BNB and how does it work on Binance?
Binance coin is denoted by the symbol BNB, which stands for 'build and build.' It uses the standard ERC-20 protocol to run on the Ethereum blockchain.
Numerous projects and assets aimed at various goals comprise the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. It is not uncommon to come across projects that aim to address similar problems.
There are several cryptocurrency exchanges, for example. Although each exchange's design and features vary, they all aim to provide crypto traders with a place to exchange their assets in a broader sense. A cryptocurrency exchange may occasionally have its own asset that is used for specific purposes on its related exchange, such as fee reductions on the trading platform.
One such crypto exchange asset is Binance Coin (BNB) of the Binance exchange. What exactly is a Binance Coin? BNB began as an asset sold in Binance's initial coin offering (ICO), and later evolved into a way for Binance exchange users to pay lower trading fees on the platform once the exchange launched.
BNB has remained a part of Binance's expanding ecosystem since then, as the company has evolved beyond being just a digital asset exchange.
Binance Coin's history
Without discussing the history of the Binance exchange, it would be difficult to tell the story of Binance Coin's origins. Binance Coin debuted in July 2017 with an initial coin offering (ICO). As part of the ICO, BNB tokens were distributed to various participants, including angel investors and the Binance founding team.
Here's a quick rundown of how BNB tokens were initially distributed:
During the ICO, each of the 100 million BNB tokens available for public purchase was sold for 15 cents. This ICO netted Binance $15 million in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
The $15 million raised was divided as follows: 35% was used to upgrade the Binance platform and exchange system, 50% was used for Binance branding, marketing, and education of new innovators, and 15% was set aside as a reserve in case of any emergencies or unusual circumstances.
BNB was an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain during its ICO and early days. Binance launched its crypto exchange platform just days after its mid-2017 ICO concluded.
Binance launched its own native blockchain, Binance Chain, in 2019. (BC). BC introduced the blockchain's own native BNB coin. In 2019, users received the new BNB coin in exchange for their BNB ERC-20 tokens through a token swap.
How does Binance Coin work?
BNB is a crypto asset that, like other digital assets on the market, fluctuates in value as people use and trade it. People can keep BNB in compatible wallets obtained from crypto exchanges and send it directly to others for payments or other purposes.
One may also wonder how to purchase Binance Coin. People can purchase BNB through a variety of channels, including Binance's own crypto exchange. But, as always, make sure to research and follow any applicable jurisdictional laws.
On a more technical level, the Binance layer-1 blockchain is merged to form the BNB Chain (previously the Binance Smart Chain and the Binance Chain).
Binance tailored the blockchain for optimal performance when it came to trading on-chain when building the BNB chain, and Binance DEX, Binance's decentralized exchange (DEX), is based on this newly formed chain. Furthermore, BNB chain transactions are powered by BNB, a blockchain gas token that stands for "Build and Build" (previously known as Binance Coin).
The BNB chain is made up of two parts: the BNB beacon chain and the BNB Smart Chain. The former is concerned with BNB Chain governance, in which BNB holders can participate in staking and voting. The latter is a consensus layer that is Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible and has multi-chain hubs.
BNB Burning
Binance spends a portion of its revenue each quarter to buy back and burn Binance Coins, effectively eliminating them. Binance has been performing quarterly burns since 2017.
Binance will continue to burn BNB coins every quarter until it has purchased and destroyed 100 million Binance coins, or half of its total supply. The process reduces the supply of Binance Coin and affects its rarity, which may affect the asset's value.
Binance also has a program called the BNB Pioneer Burn Program, which evaluates cases where BNB holders have unrecoverably lost BNB and repays them by deducting the amount from the next BNB burn.
What is Binance Coin used for?
Binance Coin usage is increasing in tandem with Binance's growth. The asset began as a means of raising funds for the Binance exchange. Following its 2017 launch, Binance quickly gained traction as a cryptocurrency exchange. Under the Binance brand umbrella, Binance evolved from an exchange platform to more of an ecosystem.
Binance has launched a DEX, two blockchains, a peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading option, a crypto borrowing option, and more over the years. BNB has expanded in tandem with Binance.
BNB coins can be used to pay for transactions on the Binance Exchange. The BNB coin has historically been used to reduce fees on the Binance crypto exchange, with customers paying lower fees by holding BNB and paying platform fees in BNB. Binance will extend the ability to receive a 25% discount on trading fees when paying with BNB until July 13, 2022, at 11:59:59 pm UTC. Furthermore, BNB has become a component of other Binance products.
Furthermore, merchants can accept BNB as payment, providing customers with more payment options. Furthermore, BNB is used in the entertainment industry for a variety of purposes, including paying for virtual gifts and purchasing lottery tickets.
Binance Coin can be used on a variety of platforms to invest in stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other assets. BNB can be used as collateral for loans on some platforms. Some apps allow users to split expenses and pay friends and family with Binance Coin.
BNB pricing and dynamics
In general, the price of BNB has historically fluctuated in line with other crypto assets traded on the market. Binance Coin's market capitalization has risen over time, surpassing a valuation of $70 billion. During Binance's initial coin offering (ICO), BNB sold for around $0.10 per token.
Since Binance's ICO, BNB has increased significantly in value, reaching more than $600 per coin at times. Is it wise to invest in Binance Coin? Its previous price rises most likely resulted in profit if buyers entered and sold at the right times. However, only time will tell where the price of BNB will go in the future.
Binance and regulation
Binance, which began operations in 2017, has grown to become one of the largest players in the cryptocurrency space. However, regulatory issues surfaced against Binance in 2021. In 2021, Binance faced regulatory action from the Cayman Islands, Japan, Malta, the Netherlands, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and Thailand.
Binance, for example, was ordered by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority to cease all U.K. regulated operations in June 2021 because it lacked the necessary authorization, registration, or license. The following month, Malaysian authorities responded by filing a criminal complaint against Binance for operating as an unauthorized virtual asset service provider (VASP).
Is Binance prohibited in the US? Prior to its 2021 headwinds, Binance announced the removal of US customers from its main exchange in 2019, despite the fact that the same year, Binance launched Binance.US, a platform compatible with US users.
Binance has stated that in response to increased regulatory scrutiny, it intends to open additional offices around the world and seek licenses in each jurisdiction where it operates. Binance is also strengthening its compliance capabilities and resources, as well as discontinuing or restricting a number of high-risk items.

Another busy and interesting year for CGI visualisations - Rolls Royce, Interactive imagery, dogs' homes and more!
From the ashes of the terrible fire in 2014, in which 50 dogs died, comes a new, state of the art facility. Designed by Dickinson Waugh Architecture of Knutsford, our visualisation shows the striking architectural design which will cater for over 30 dogs.
Many of the dogs rescued from the fire were moved to other sites, including Cheshire Dogs' Home, near Warrington.
For more details, see the Manchester and Cheshire Dogs' Home website.
Watch this space for an interactive 360 degree CGI visualisation of the interior coming soon!
We've added a new dimension to 3D CGI Visualisations.
Countryside Properties needed a more immersive way to present their design for a group of apartments in Manchester. Click on the image below to see our solution.
Have a play - drag the mouse cursor or swipe on a tablet to look all around. You can even zoom in and out!
Using our accurate modelling software we created a sun path analysis of the latest proposed development by Countryside Properties. Local Planners wanted to see how the existing houses would be affected by the proposed design.
We produced 4 sun path analysis movies to demonstrate where the shadows would fall at different times of year.
Shown below is the day of the Winter Solstice animation which is accurate for the exact geographical location of the development.
Our CGI visualisation photomontages are a very useful tool for understanding the way a proposed design will work in it's environment. When Knutsford based Dickinson Waugh Architecture were commissioned to develop Brae Cottage in Knutsford they came to Cheshire Creative to help with the visualisation process.
Interestingly, Brae Hall has a fascinating history, being what could be described as the birthplace of Rolls Royce. Sir Henry Royce began tinkering with cars here which led to the creation of the Rolls-Royce legacy.
Cheshire Creative Ltd have been creating high quality, photorealistic, computer generated illustrations and animations since way back in the mid 90s. Based near Warrington, our mix of 'cutting edge' technology and artistic flair helps keep us at the forefront of the 3D CGI visualisation industry.
The vast majority of our work is repeat business and through word of mouth, a testament to our quality, service and prices. If you need artist's impressions of anything, please get in touch on 01925 751683.

More than 60 Civil Air Patrol region and wing directors are attending the organization's first Youth Development Conference today through Monday at National Boys & Girls Clubs Headquarters in Atlanta.
"Youth-serving programs thrive only when theadults are well-trained," said Curt LaFond, CAP's director of youth programs. "While CAP has lotsof in-house training, it is not enough.
"To take adult training up a notch, we've asked some of the top experts in the youth development profession to enlighten our community's top leaders."
The Boys & Girls Clubs developed a collaborative partnership with CAP in 2017. By working together, officials believe, the organizations can achieve broader goals and outcomes to develop the next generation of American youth to be successful,healthy and engaged citizens.
"This training aims to create opportunities for current CAP staff members and volunteers to continue to learn and develop through evidence informed program models, staff practices and organization systems and practices that lead to impact," said Dawn Brunson ,Boys & Girls Clubs senior director of military outreach.
Boys & Girls Clubs provides CAP access to memberservices, including organizational development,program and resource development, assistance with developing a comprehensive professional development strategy, and assistance with developing acomprehensive growth strategy using the clubs' strategic growth model.
"We're trying to equip our community's top leaders with the latest evidence-based best practices,"LaFond said. "We're asking people to learn what the experts recommend and imagine ways to incorporatethat learning in our cadet program."
While there's a huge amount of information to be learned, LaFond is confident the event will be a success.
"CAP is asking a lot of the adults who volunteer to serve cadets," LaFond said. "Their job is really hard.They have to make cadet life educational, but not school.
"Adult leaders must point cadets in the right direction,correct them, challenge them, allow lots of opportunit yfor youth voice and autonomy while keeping the program a safe place to fail and bounce-back. This conference can help do that."
Along with LaFond, other CAP leaders have been invitedto speak at the conference, including Maj. Gen. Mark Smith, CAP's national commander/CEO.
Cadet Lt. Col. Isabella Mollison of the Alaska Wing's Birchwood Composite Squadron, the Boys & Girls Clubs' 2019 Overseas Military Youth of the Year, will deliver the conference's closing address.
A list of participants and speakers is available online.

It's the most wonderful time of year for sports lovers and the busiest time of the year for our Wolfpack mascot Wolfie as the TCC will be hosting a TRU sports event each weekend through March.
TRU Basketball and Volleyball will share the TCC court and host both their seasons inside the gym where you will be able to catch all the action and stay clear of the cold weather.
All teams will be looking forward to a successful season, starting with women's volleyball who are out to roar, start of four straight wins. Their most recent victory was against Calgary in their home opening weekend where they beat the Albertan team by 3-1 in front of friends and family.
"It's been really good so far. We have a lot of players, a lot of depth, anyone can go in for anyone and play really well," second-year middle Haley McNaught said.
Its been opposite ends of the spectrum for the Volleyball men's program as they start their season to an 0-4 record after losing to the University of Calgary 3-2 on their home court in a tight match.
"We got to get better at raising our intensity after 20 points and closing out games. We've had leads almost all the way through so the only disappointment is on the coaches as we've missed out on some quality volleyball chances," head coach Pat Hennelley stated.

Not an ideal start but the season is still very young and promising as both teams will continue their campaign into next weekend where they will host the University of Alberta on Nov. 8. Come support your team as the men's team will start things off at 5 p.m. and the women will follow up at 6:45 p.m.
The men and women's basketball will be having their season and home opener this upcoming weekend on Nov. 1.
"Being at home to start the year is nice. At the end of the day, you play 10 at home and 10 on the road. You have to take care of your home games in order to be successful," Men's basketball head coach Scott Clarke said.
The men's team will be looking to have a big year after missing playoffs last year with a record of six wins and 14 losses. Clarke had a busy summer as he made multiple signings including Fredrico Martins who was Portugal's leading scorer in the 2019 FIBA U-18 European 'B' men's basketball championship. The women's team will also be looking to improve last year's record after they finished the year with four wins and 16 losses.
The poor record leads to women's head coach Scott Reeves being terminated, replaced by new head coach Goran Nogic. The new coach is looking to kickstart his team for the season.
"The possibility to challenge and share my coaching philosophy at the university sports level was the main reason I wanted this position," Nogic states, " At the same time, I believe and I hope that together with the players, directors and all supporters of the program we can change the current status of WolfPack women's basketball in the Canadian basketball community as well as the chance to promote Kamloops as a sports city."
Come and watch your Wolfpack basketball teams play this weekend as the men tip-off Friday at 5 p.m. followed by the women at 8 p.m. The entertainment should be fixating as their will be passionate play mixed with music, games and cheerleaders.

Looking for habit restoration resources is quite a bit less hard as many people think medicine remedy bali. Also usually, people search for these assets, unaware that several of the finest sorts accessible are merely a phone call or Web connection away.
Nowadays, we drug treatment bali are privileged to own those assets accessible on the internet that years ago would never have been imaginable. We could discover caution signals of dependency and alcoholism, any new developments in remedy, and how to offer with managing an enthusiast or alcoholic at only the click of a mouse. More, we can actually find an extremely reliable rehabilitation middle where we send our friends, family, or even ourselves. No matter of where we are on the planet, no real matter what vocabulary we talk, there's a wealth of information and folks proper at our fingertips, willing to help.
Obviously, all this really is wonderful. However, we have to consider that the alcohol rehab bali and research on this planet isn't any swap for when activity needs to be taken. The good thing, nevertheless , is that a lot of who get into drug and liquor treatment are nurturing those who wish to see others produce positive changes in their lives, and are more than satisfied to simply help the ones that come and ask. As such, consultants can be a fantastic supply of dependency recovery resources. They could provide ideas and training that produce them an original and very competent source that is frequently saturated in good-intentioned misinformation.
While jooxie is in treatment, among the finest and steady drug and alcohol habit recovery sources we build is our hyperlink with others who've suffered our same struggles. That Fellowship assists us keep perspective, and even though a sponsor who may have experienced the Steps is very a great destination to find assistance, no-one can be right a huge number of the time. Certainly, we also need somewhere to find a sponsor in the initial position, and the Fellowship is that place.
1 day, we finally need to keep treatment. Inspite of how great the connection we build with this counselor is, there will come a period when that interconnection has in the future extra, and larger help is required in relation to long-term basis. That is where in reality the mentor comes in. A sponsor takes the fan or alcoholic through the Measures, providing them with the various tools to greatly help get rid of their affliction, and provides for instance of desire for those who no more have any.
Ultimately, a powerful relationship with this Higher Power, whatever that may be, is an dependency reference that's usually overlooked but generally provides answers. Whether a person can be an berner, alcoholic, or somebody working together with one in their lives, using a spiritual source of strength and ease can get people through actually the darkest instances in life. Those days will come. If we control to keep clear and dry for a substantial time frame, we will one day have to rely upon that Higher Power, so that it is one of the most essential drug and alcohol habit remedy and treatment sources anyone can have.


When you are trying to gauge the next phenomena in advocacy technology, looking to political campaigns and private enterprise is usually a good start. New ideas coming from these two spheres will eventually trickle down to government relations departments in the corporate, association and nonprofit space.
In 2016, we saw an increased emphasis on both virtual reality and augmented reality. Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear and Google Cardboard are all becoming household items that are relatively inexpensive.
The New York Times released in early 2016 a virtual reality film from footage of presidential campaign events. Voters were able to view campaign speeches, rallies and intimate gatherings of candidates with increased sensory experiences of being able to look at the audiences reaction and hear background chatter of fellow voters commenting on the event. Virtual reality has also seen widespread adoption in the military, homeland security and professional sports along with other organizations ranging from real estate to education.
Going a step further, augmented reality is the combination of virtual reality and real-life experiences. The best example of augmented reality in 2016 was Pokémon Go, where many businesses leveraged the popularity and technology for grassroots marketing/advertising. Both virtual reality and augmented reality came in waves during 2016 with these notable high points in mainstream adoption.
What does this mean for the advocacy world?
The advocacy world has a tremendous opportunity to leverage this innovative technology to promote social change and activism for their causes and association engagement. Since 2014, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has taken a virtual reality exhibit to universities and colleges in the United States and Australia called "I, Chicken," a three-minute simulation of a chicken's life that concludes with being transported and slaughtered.
You can also go to With.in and watch virtual reality stories about the plight of refugees or the woes of urban poverty. These experiences are graphic, compelling and pull at the sensory strings of the user. This advocacy tool is targeted toward college students, but imagine if a headset was given to a member of Congress or staff member during a fly-in or in a meeting.
Human rights and public health organizations can amplify their advocacy messaging with virtual and augmented reality technology. If you are unable to arrange a factory visit or have a member of Congress tour your school, hospital or company, you can bring that same experience to them through a headset or even a mobile application.
Allow them to scroll through and see firsthand the public policy concerns facing your organization or why they should care about your cause. If you are able to get them to your school, hospital or company, why not leverage an augmented reality experience to overlay key facts and issues. Seeing a statistic or clip about the negative effects of funding cuts to a school program while in the classroom with a group of 2nd-graders is more compelling than a white paper.
In addition to the amplified sensory experience, a virtual or augmented reality experience produced in a mobile application would allow the member of Congress or staff to view persuasive content and be polled about their stance on issues related to the content. Get them to swipe left or swipe right on how they feel about Dodd-Frank, the Affordable Care Act, alternative energy tax credits or other pieces of legislation.
The advocacy technology space needs a renaissance to advance itself into the modern era where private enterprise and companies have been for a few years now. The stage is set with mobile applications designed for lobby days and year-round advocacy campaigns. I would expect this to be a key innovation in the advocacy technology space next year and beyond as organizations look to position themselves with the 115th Congress and the Trump administration.
Short-form communication and digital storytelling will continue to be the gold standard, but the mechanisms for action need to improve and advance.
