Microsoft: Windows 7 ready for Christmas 2009
Fill your stockings
By Gavin Clarke 8 Nov 2008 at 00:22
Windows 7 in time for Christmas? No, not this Christmas - but Christmas 2009.
Microsoft has reportedly told PC and systems engineering partners Windows 7, the successor to Windows Vista, will be on PCs in time for the next holiday season.
That contradicts Microsoft's official party line that Windows 7 would not ship until 2010, three years after Windows Vista received its official launch.
The holiday buying season typically refers to six weeks between US Thanksgiving and the New Year.
If Microsoft is correct, and if this isn't a piece of outdated PowerPoint carrying an old ship date, that could mean OEMs getting Windows 7 by September 2009 at the latest to hit the holiday shopping season.
Microsoft's last big success was Windows XP, which launched in late October 2001, in time for that year's holiday shopping season. Windows XP had been put in the hands of OEM with a release to manufacturing two months earlier, in August that year.
All about Microsoft blogger, and fellow MicroBite co-host, Mary-Jo Foley said the whisper around the Windows camp fire is there'll be a Windows 7 beta the week before this Christmas, with the release candidate released in either the first or second quarter of 2009.
Why so fast on Windows 7? Microsoft is keeping the operating system simple and cutting any features aren't working and that might mutate into delays if work on them continues, based on what The Reg heard at last week's Professional Developers' Conference (PDC). ®

Home News Former Northeastern Player Kenny Killed in Automobile Accident
Former Northeastern Player Kenny Killed in Automobile Accident
USCHO Staff Report
Rob Kenny, a three-year letterwinner and former assistant captain for Northeastern from 1989 to 1992, was killed in an automobile accident early Wednesday morning on Interstate 75 in Weston, Fla. He was 41.
Rob Kenny played for Northeastern from 1989 to 1992 (photo: Northeastern Athletics).
The Vienna, Va., native joined the Huskies as a walk-on for the 1989-90 season. In his three seasons, he quickly became one of the top players for the Huskies, leading the team in scoring his final year with 19 goals and 33 points. After graduating from Northeastern, he had a successful minor league professional career, playing for the Binghamton Rangers of the AHL and a number of IHL and ECHL teams as well.
Current Northeastern assistant coach, Sebastian Laplante, played with Kenny.
"Rob was one of the best teammates I have ever had," said current Northeastern assistant coach Sebastian Laplante, who played with Kenny. "He was as good a teammate as you could find, on and off the ice. He became a leader on our team with a very short amount of time."
For the last several years, Kenny ran a successful hockey program in southern Florida and was an avid supporter of the Northeastern hockey program. Kenny was constantly reaching out to the Huskies staff to recommend talent he knew of in the area.
Kenny is survived by his wife, Janelle, and their three children: Ryan, Sean and Ella.

Huobi Global denies 'large-scale layoffs' and key exec resignations
crodladmin November 1, 2022 2 min read
A spokesperson from Huobi Global says rumours of layoffs are "untrue" and the "senior management team is performing their duties as per normal."
Huobi Global says it has no plans to conduct "large-scale layoffs" and has refuted reports that two of its top executives have resigned amid a takeover of the Seychelles-based crypto exchange.
Reports that the company's chief executive officer (CEO) Leon Li and chief financial officer (CFO) Chris Lee have resigned appeared to have originated from an Oct. 29 Twitter post from Chinese crypto blogger Colin Wu, citing "people familiar" with Huobi.
The Twitter post also suggested there could be mass layoffs planned for its 1,600 employees due to "too many people" working at the company.
However, a spokesperson from Huobi Global told Cointelegraph that rumors there could be mass layoffs are "untrue" and that its senior management continues to perform their duties "as per normal," stating:
"Huobi Global's senior management team is performing their duties as per normal, and rumors of large-scale layoffs are untrue. At present, Huobi Global enjoys a healthy cash flow, and the new shareholders have completed the capital injection."
"Huobi has demonstrated positive development potential in key regional markets, and will continue to invest in business innovation, exploring international markets and recruiting local employees," they added.
However, the spokesperson admitted that due to the crypto market downturn, some cost-cutting could still be on the cards though it didn't clarify what this could entail, stating:
"Huobi Global is in a sound financial position at present, but due to the current market downturn, Huobi will also make adjustments to reduce costs and increase efficiency."

Huobi is a Chinese cryptocurrency exchange founded by Leon Li in 2013 and currently has operations in more than 30 countries around the world and a presence in over 100 countries.
In August the crypto exchange got the green light to offer fiat cryptocurrency trading services in Australia, after registering as a digital currency exchange provider with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC).
September saw Huobi establish a partnership with South Korea's "blockchain" city of Busan to provide research and development, technology and financial support for the Busan Digital Currency Exchange. Huobi is also set to assist in identifying and hiring blockchain talent for Busan's local exchange.
While the biggest news came in October when About Capital Management (HK) Co. Ltd, a Hong Kong based-asset management firm, became the exchange's controlling shareholder following a successful buyout deal for an undisclosed amount.

Akiva Goldsman Inks First-Look MGM Deal, Doubling Down On Sci-Fi Dramas
Hollywood power-producer Akiva Goldsman has signed a first-look deal with MGM Television that will see him develop scripted series for the company.
Goldsman, who was previously in business with Imagine Television via a non-exclusive first-look deal, is a veteran scribe best known for his Oscar-winning screenplay for A Beautiful Mind.
Under his Weed Road Pictures shingle, Goldsman will get to work writing and executive-producing buzzy sci-fi projects for MGM, which has stretched its range in recent years by developing projects like FX's acclaimed Fargo series and Hulu's award-winning adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale. The news was announced via a press release Monday.
First up for Goldsman at MGM is Ringworld, a sci-fi tale set up at Amazon that will adapt the 1970s sci-fi classic by Larry Niven. Like the novel, it will center around Louis Wu, a man who journeys to a gigantic alien construct in space shortly after celebrating his 200th birthday on a futuristic Earth.
Amazon's eyeing Ringworld as a potentially large-scale project akin to Game of Thrones, a high-caliber drama series with global appeal and a rich mythology. Though the company, through its streaming arm, has seen success with original dramas like alt-history The Man in the High Castle, superhero sendup The Boys, and fairy-tale fantasy Carnival Row, none of its series in that "epic" genre space have broken through quite like Thrones, its fellow HBO series Westworld, or even competing streamers's entrants like the dystopian Handmaid's Tale. That may likely change with the arrival of its massively anticipated, ultra-expensive Lord of the Rings series, one of the biggest creative gambles taken by any streamer in the past decade.
But teaming with MGM Television—and now Goldsman, a proven hitmaker across genres—is evidence that Amazon isn't pinning every last hope on Tolkien's Middle-Earth.
Goldsman is also set to produce Aurora Rising, an adaptation of the sci-fi YA novel by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff that was recently optioned by MGM. An intergalactic space opera, the series draws much of its drama from the presence of an at-odds squad of misfits, all recent graduates from Aurora Academy sent out on a risky deep-space mission; the books, aimed at a younger audience, have a fervent fan following and have earned comparisons to Guardians of the Galaxy with their tonal balance of humor, sci-fi action, and heart.
Said Goldsman in a statement: "I couldn't be more excited to work with MGM. Their creative and business acumen, thoughtful attention to storytelling, and excellent executives make them optimal collaborators in today's ever-changing television landscape."
Added Steve Stark, MGM's president of TV development and production: "Akiva is a powerhouse talent with impeccable taste and creative instincts. MGM is thrilled to be in business with him and our entire team looks forward to our collaboration on Ringworld and to the many distinctive and quality projects that lie ahead together."
Goldsman's one of the most prolific producers and scribes working in Hollywood. Since A Beautiful Mind earned him an Oscar, he's emerged as a studio journeyman, racking up credits as diverse as Cinderella Man, I, Robot, I Am Legend, and The Da Vinci Code. Upcoming titles for him include Doctor Sleep and Paramount's Tom Clancy adaptation Rainbow Six.
Recently, he worked with Hasbro and Paramount to set up a writer's room for the Transformers franchise, guiding that franchise away from the mega-budget cacophony it had leaned into previously. The first film since that collaboration, last year's Bumblebee, was a smaller character piece (directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson) that earned the best reviews of the franchise.
Goldsman has dipped his toes into television over the years, most notably working on Fox's sci-fi procedural Fringe across its five seasons. He executive-produced WGN's Underground, co-created and executive-produces DC's Titans and CBS All Access' Star Trek: Picard. He's also got iron in the fires at Amazon, with a music-oriented series to which Sandra Bullock and John Legend; at Fox, where 100 Days Without Fear is set up; and at Showtime, where he's shepherding Gormenghast, a Gothic fantasy series adapted from the classic British book series of the same name, which was published between 1946 and 1959.

Mariners defeated by A's 8-5, A's almost defeated by bad manicures
cuticle health is important, yo
By Kate Preusser@KatePreusser Mar 25, 2021, 5:19pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Mariners defeated by A's 8-5, A's almost defeated by bad manicures
Something I've gotten really into doing over the pandemic: at-home manicures. I've always had terrible nails; they don't grow at all, they break constantly, and when I try to do them for special occasions it looks like a preschooler has been practicing finger painting. Happily, a friend got me an at-home manicure kit for Christmas and now I have the kind of nice nails I used to envy on other people (thanks, Olive + June!). The most important thing I learned about taking care of my nails: it's not all about the polish. I never realized what a bad cuticle picker I was or how much of a mess they were until I started taking care of them. Now my hands look more like grown-up lady hands and less like something out of a 50s B movie. Seriously, cuticles are so important! Bleedy sore infected cuticles not only hurt but they also allow infection into your body. Do not pick! Do not rip! Moisturize them!
Good cuticle health is also important if you are an MLB pitcher, apparently, as A's starter Frankie Montas had to leave today's game with a torn and bleeding cuticle. Maybe he's also a picker? Get you some cuticle serum, Frankie, and relax! Montas was very sharp-looking for the first couple of innings, blowing through the Mariners 1-2-3 in the first with his fastball sitting around 95, ending on a called strikeout of Jose Marmolejos at 97. He dirtied the bases a little in the second although not through any fault of his own (Tom Murphy dunked base hit, Julio infield single/error on Chapman, depending on what side of the broadcast you were on), but then allowed a juicy base hit to Jack Reinheimer to score two. However, the wheels fully came off for Montas in the third when he walked Dylan Moore, hit Jarred Kelenic, and then ran to a 2-0 count on Marmolejos before someone in the A's dugout noticed he was actively bleeding and appeared with a merciful hook. Cuticle care, people! Hand sanitizer is hell on your hands! Moisturize those puppies and oil yer cuticles! Montas was replaced by Deolis Guerra who finished off the walk to Marmo and then surrendered an almost-grand-slam to Cal Raleigh, according to the Mariners broadcast, or a lazy fly ball that caught the wind, according to the A's broadcast. Either way, it scored another two runs. Unfortunately, that would be the last of the Mariners' scoring threat until the very end of the game, while meanwhile, "rub a little cuticle serum on it" doesn't seem like quite as easy a fix for the Mariners' pitching staff.
If you were looking for clarity on the sixth starter battle, well, unfortunately today's game didn't offer much. Nick Margevicius was equal to Montas in the first, throwing a first-pitch strike to every batter and retiring the top of the A's lineup 1-2-3, ending on his own swinging strikeout at a blistering 91 mph. In the second inning, however, Large Marge seemingly lost his feel, falling behind batters and issuing two four-pitch walks in the inning, while also surrendering two home runs: one a no-doubter off the bat of forever pest Jed Lowrie, and one a spring training special for Stephen Piscotty. Marge couldn't clear the second inning and was lifted for Moises Gomez, who performed his job as pitcher busboy effectively once again, coaxing a flyout from Matt Olson.
Margevicius came back out in the third and things looked to be back on track, allowing just an infield hit to how-is-he-up-again Jed Lowrie, but the fourth started off with a double surrendered to Chad Pinder. To his credit, Marge pulled it together and struck out Piscotty and Canha back-to-back, and then got a groundout from Elvis Andrus made a little more adventurous than it should have been by a poor throw from Haggerty, but as an outing, it wasn't quite as crisp as Nicky Marge has been in the past—and with a fastball that barely squeaks above 90, Margevicius must be crisp.
Marge doesn't get saddled with the loss in today's contest; that belongs to Brady Lail, who gave up the go-ahead homer to Matt Chapman on a 92 mph fastball that Chapman turned around at 110 mph over the fence. No wind needed to help that out. The rest of the damage was allowed by Casey Sadler in the eighth, who also seemed to not have command of his good curveball today and allowed four hits, all singles, which the A's manufactured into three runs. I wrote in my notes "death by paperbuts" instead of "cuts" but you know what, I stand by that.
Enough bad things. Let's talk about some Good Things:
Julioooooooo was on base in every at-bat today. He infield-singled and then stole a base (note: claim disputed); walked against Montas's replacement by refusing to chase a slider; got a base hit off Yusmeiro Petit, 16 years his senior, and hit into a fielder's choice. He was also denied an opportunity to come up in the ninth with the bases loaded by Jantzen Witte, who had the gall to flyout in the ninth, costing us a high-leverage Julio at-bat. Boo, Jantzen Witte. (*note: the dispute of this claim is disputed)
Like Julio, Jarred Kelenic played the whole game, and once again showed all the different ways he can impact a game, from a fine running catch in center field, to working a walk off presumptive A's closer Trevor Rosenthal, to smashing a double in the ninth-inning rally to draw the Mariners up a little closer and provide the first run for the Mariners since the third inning. You know who probably takes excellent care of his cuticles? Jarred "I want to cover my fingers in rings" Kelenic.
After today, Julio and Jarred are both batting .333. I know that's not anything, I just find it delightful, and it's the last week of spring training and I am allowed to do so.
It's hard to tell without video, but Will Vest seemed to be very sharp today. His fastball sat 94-95 and he punched out Chapman with 95 on the black. Again, so I'm told. Vest had some scary wobbles earlier in spring where I wondered if he'd even make the team, but has been stacking impressive successive outings as spring winds on.
All this cuticle talk prompted me to paint my nails while listening to the game. Hoppy spring! TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUTICLES.


In early 2012, Scott and Lindz Lane, of Miss Piggy's BBQ team in the UK met me through Benny Adauto, my former SYD assistant, who lent them equipment to compete in the Ultimate BBQ Showdown East v West in Wildomar, near San Diego, in April 2012. I met them together with Benny for lunch in downtown Los Angeles and the conversation drifted towards whether I was willing to teach to increase the popularity of American BBQ in the UK since many had watched TLC's BBQ Pitamasters Season One which we were in. Scott subsequently introduced me to Toby Shea, the director of the British BBQ Society, and we hit it off right away. In July 2012, I'll be headed to teach in the London area and compete in the UK!
To celebrate this opportunity, I planned to cook a British dish in my UK class. One of the most traditional British dishes is a classic dish called Sheppard's Pie which is cooked lamb topped with mashed potatoes and then baked. In the US, we do something similar using ground beef and although it's called Sheppard's Pie, it is really Cottage Pie according to British convention. To add a BBQ pitmaster's twist, I decided to barbecue the lamb before making the pie. After the lamb is cooked and cooled, you shred the lamb with your fingers and mix it with a mire pox of onions, celery, and carrots. Transfer to an oven-safe casserole and top with your mash and bake for about 25 minutes. Serve with English peas. I prefer my peas el dente but I was informed by Eric, an English butcher in Los Angeles, that the peas should be cooked until they are mushy and no longer green. Do your peas your way!
Trim excess fat from leg of lamb.
Apply thin layer of yellow mustard all over the leg of lamb to make it easier for the rub to stick. Apply a medium coating of SYD Hot Rub until the meat is completely covered and you cannot be seen through the rub.
Cook in a 250 degree smoker with some apple wood. Check after a couple of hours to see if the bark has formed. If it has not, check back every 30 minutes until the bark is set.
Foil your whole leg of lamb after bark is set and put some mopping liquid into the foil (you can use red wine, chicken stock, beer, etc.).
Cook the foil pouch and probe your meat through the foil until it feels tender when you probe it. The internal temp when done is between 175 to 195. Don't rely on the temp reading but by the feel of the meat when you push the probe in. Mine was done to probe perfection in about 4 hours. Remove and cut open the foil to let it cool and then shred into chunks.
Heat canola oil in pan and add mire pox mixture of onion, celery, and carrot. Cook until vegetables are tender and add the rosemary, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, BBQ sauce, and chicken stock. If you don't want a BBQ flavored pie, substitute with brown gravy for the BBQ sauce. Mix well and heat until boiling. Add shredded BBQ lamb. If mixture is dry, add more red wine or chicken stock. The mixture of lamb and vegetables should be a bit soupy. Season to your taste with salt and black pepper.
Easy SYD Mash – Bring 6 cups of water to boil in a pot. Add 3 heaping tablespoons of chicken bouillon powder. Add 4 large potatoes peeled and chopped. Cook until tender and mash with some butter, milk, salt, and white pepper.
Paint the top of the mashed potatoes with beaten egg wash. Use a fork to make stiff peaks. Bake for 20-25 minutes in 400 degree oven until crust is browned. Serve with some English peas sautéed in butter.
Great recipe and will definitely be giving it a go this weekend, can only assume Eric is a northerner, mushy peas only go with fish and chips!!

BMW raises R&D spending for electric, autonomous cars
By Edward Taylor
Munich (Reuters) – German carmaker BMW will increase research and development (R&D) spending to an all-time high of up to 7 billion euros ($8.6 billion) this year as part of efforts to bring 25 electrified models to market by 2025.
The Munich-based maker of BMW, Rolls-Royce and Mini vehicles said that despite higher spending it expects group pre-tax profit to be over 10 billion euros in 2018, at least in line with last year's level.
In its annual report, BMW also warned of a possible impact from trade barriers and any anti-dumping customs duties in the United States and added that Brexit could have an adverse long term effect.
Spending on developing electric and autonomous cars pushed R&D costs a billion euros higher last year, reaching 6.1 billion euros.
"Investment will rise by a further high three-digit million euro amount year-on-year, primarily from the ongoing new model initiative as well as continued work on e-mobility and autonomous driving," BMW said in a statement on Wednesday.
BMW's R&D ratio for 2018 is expected to be between 6.5 percent and 7 percent of sales. In the next two years the R&D ratio is expected to remain above its usual target corridor of 5 percent to 5.5 percent range, BMW said.
LUXURY CARS IN DEMAND
BMW this month reported a 5.3 percent rise in 2017 operating profit on surging demand for high-margin sports utility vehicles, helping to offset higher research spending.
Sales of luxury cars are expected to continue rising, contributing to new record unit sales this year, it said.
"In the automotive segment we expect to achieve new all-time highs in 2018. As long as conditions remain stable, we should see a light increase in deliveries from growth in China and the U.S. in particular," BMW Chief Financial Officer Nicolas Peter said in a statement.
BMW did inject a note of caution over trade tensions and Britain's looming exit from the European Union.
"A possible introduction of trade barriers, including anti-dumping customs duties, by the U.S. administration could have an adverse impact on the BMW Group's operations," BMW said in its annual report.
Separately, BMW said the prospect of diesel bans had hit the second-hand values of some cars, leading to a rise in the credit loss ratio to 0.34 percent, from 0.32 percent a year earlier, reflecting "the situation in the used car markets in North America and Europe."
The increase was mainly due to the debate on diesel engines in parts of Europe, BMW said. BMW said risks related to the residual value of used cars were covered by risk provisions.
BMW shares traded 0.6 percent higher at 0935 GMT.

April 2021 DEI Article
"Dismantling AAPI Hate for a More Inclusive Future"
Written by Bobby T. Rimas, Associate Professor
So far this year, America has seen many great moments of more diverse representation than ever before with Deb Haaland, the first Native American United States Interior Secretary, Xavier Becerra, the first Latino U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, and Dr. Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health. The list of firsts continues as does its profound impact on several fronts, including our nation's youth who are inspired to see themselves represented in some of the highest positions of power in our country – and who too often believe that they must "see it to be it."
However, despite more diverse representation, hate and violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has increased 150% in 2020. Recent news from across the country reflects that hate and violence against the AAPI community are still on the rise. This includes the March 16, 2021, shootings in Atlanta, Georgia, where six out of eight victims were of Asian descent. There has been taped surveillance footage from New York City to San Francisco and beyond that horrifically displays scenes of AAPI individuals being physically attacked for what is apparently no other reason than their heritage. According to the Stop AAPI Hate National Report, from March 19, 2020, to February 28, 2021, there have been 3,795 incidents of hate committed against the AAPI community. It is even more sobering to know that "(t)he number of hate incidents reported…represent only a fraction of the number…that actually occur, but it does show how vulnerable Asian Americans are to discrimination, and the types of discrimination they face."
From the infamous Chinese Massacre and Chinese Exclusion Act of the late 1800s, to the 1930 Watsonville Riots where Filipino farmworkers were attacked, as well as the internment of Japanese Americans during the 1940s, the AAPI community is no stranger to violence and discrimination.
In recent decades, the AAPI community has experienced the stigma of the "model minority" stereotype. According to National Public Radio's Kat Chow, "Since the end of World War II, many white people have used Asian Americans and their perceived collective success as a racial wedge. The effect? Minimizing the role racism plays in the persistent struggles of other racial/ethnic minority groups — especially black Americans."
While there is some good news regarding AAPI representation in the legal industry as reported by the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession's 2019-2020 State of Diversity and Inclusion report, they pointed out that "Today, after more than 50 years of equal opportunity programs, 72% of senior management positions are occupied by white males, who now constitute 54% of the total work force. Asian Pacific Americans are 21% of top management ranks… Race, ethnicity, color, and gender continue to determine how we are seen or understood most immediately by others. And contrary to speculation during the Obama presidency that America was experiencing a 'post-racial' era, according to a recent NBC poll, a majority of Americans believe race relations are actually getting worse."
For approximately a year, many credible sources have specified that the rapid increase of the hate and violence aimed at the AAPI community stems from the rhetoric and misconceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, that can sometimes be associated with the incorrectly termed "Chinese Virus." Most of us know that America can do better.
You can be a positive agent of change to help dismantle AAPI hate by doing one or more of the following:
reject all negative stereotypes of the AAPI community;
contact your local, state, or national political officials to see what they are doing about the drastic increase in violence towards the AAPI community;
support organizations that openly advocate for the AAPI community and businesses;
support organizations that advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion;
speak out against and report hate crimes;
participate in a neighborhood watch group that has zero tolerance for hate and violence;
participate in seminars or webinars that discuss solutions to hate and violence;
learn about the historical origins of Asian American hate;
consider asking your employer or favorite organization if they will issue a "statement of solidarity" with the AAPI community; and
bring awareness of the hate and violence towards the AAPI community within your network and discuss how you can be part of the solution.
It is comforting to know that United States President Joseph Biden recently stated, "Across our nation, an outpouring of grief and outrage continues at the horrific violence and xenophobia perpetrated against Asian American communities…anti-Asian violence and xenophobia is wrong, it's un-American, and it must stop. Our silence is complicity. We cannot be complicit. We have to speak out. We have to act."1 It is important to note that the White House is taking action. However, much more needs to be done at the state and local levels.
Please consider being a part of the solution for a better America. Let us stand in solidarity against hate.

(Redirected from Gernsback)
(Aug. 16, 1884 – Aug. 19, 1967)
Hugo Gernsback was one of the most important founding figures of modern SF. He was Luxembourgian-American inventor, writer, editor, and magazine publisher, best remembered for publications that included the first science-fiction magazine.
Before helping to create SF, Gernsback was an entrepreneur in the new electronics industry. In April 1908, he founded Modern Electrics, the world's first magazine about both electronics and radio, and later founded The Electrical Experimenter, which became Science and Invention in 1920. It was in these magazines that he began including SF stories.
Gernsback founded the first prozine, Amazing Stories, in 1926, marking the beginning of SF as a distinct and separate genre. He saw SF as a teaching tool and said that a good SF story would be "75 percent literature interwoven with 25 percent science". (This has been called the "Gernsback Delusion".)
He also played a key role in starting fandom, by publishing letters in his magazines and including the addresses of people who wrote them. Fans who wrote to the lettercol and joined the Science Fiction League Gernsback founded began communicating directly with each other and that was the start of fandom. (See First Fan Letter with Address.) He also coined the term science fiction, though he preferred scientifiction.
In 1929, he lost control of Amazing Stories, but quickly founded two new sf magazines, Science Wonder Stories and Air Wonder Stories. A year later, due to Depression-era financial troubles, the two were merged into Wonder Stories, which he continued to publish until 1936, when it was sold to Thrilling Publications and renamed Thrilling Wonder Stories. Gernsback returned in 1952–53 with Science-Fiction Plus. In 1940 he had published three issues of a SF comic book, Superworld Comics, with the help of his one-time Wonder Stories editor, Charles D. Hornig. This comic book was described by genre historian Sam Moskowitz as the first SF comic book, although the first issue of Planet Comic also appeared early in 1940.
Gernsback was noted for dubious business practices, and for paying his writers extremely low fees or not paying them at all. H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith referred to him as "Hugo the Rat." Barry Malzberg said "Gernsback's venality and corruption, his sleaziness and his utter disregard for the financial rights of authors, have been so well documented and discussed in critical and fan literature. That the founder of genre science fiction who gave his name to the field's most prestigious award and who was the GoH at the 1952 Worldcon was pretty much a crook (and a contemptuous crook who stiffed his writers but paid himself $100K a year as President of Gernsback Publications) has been clearly established."
Gernsback's disinclination to pay writers led directly to the founding of the Futurians, after Donald Wollheim and John Michel visited other groups to complain about nonpayment, and when he failed to pay the room rental for a lecture he arranged, led to one of the first fan feuds, splitting the first fanclub, the Scienceers.
Gernsback wrote the novel Ralph 124C 41+ in 1911, which, although one of the most influential science-fiction stories of all time, and filled with numerous science-fiction ideas, is pretty awful. Brian Aldiss called it a "tawdry illiterate tale" and a "sorry concoction" while Lester del Rey called it "simply dreadful."
Nonetheless, Hugo Gernsback created modern SF and even the people who think he did so badly (e.g., Brian Aldiss who described Gernsback as "the worst disaster every to hit SF"), must describe their position in terms of his.
He published a fanzine, Forecasts. In 1940 he published three issues of a SF comic Book, Superworld Comics. An illustrated article about Superworld Comics by Jon D. Swartz appeared in Tightbeam 293 (February, 2019). Tightbeam is an N3F fanzine.
Awards, Honors and GoHships:
1952 -- Chicon II
1964 -- First Fandom Hall of Fame
The Hugos, the top award for science fiction and fanac is named in his honor, and in 1960 he received a special Hugo Award as "The Father of Magazine Science Fiction".
Also involved with: ISA - Minicon 5 - Mort Weisinger - P. Schuyler Miller - Phoxphyre - Science Fiction Hall of Fame - T. O'Conor Sloane - The Scienceers - Tom Perry - V-Con 5 - Who Killed Science Fiction? - Wonder Stories Quarterly

Artist Spotlight: Jordan and Joshua Earls
On May 27, 2020 December 15, 2021 By justiceartscoalitionIn Uncategorized
This month, we are highlighting two artists in our network: brothers Jordan (Jordy) and Joshua (Josh) Earls, a poet and painter/writer, respectively. What follows is gathered from our correspondence with the artists, the work they have generously shared with JAC, their descriptions of their work and processes, and an interview with their parents, Penny and Bobby Earls.
Josh: "Josh Earls did not create art most of his life. It was during the turbulent and sometimes terrifying first months incarcerated that he discovered the therapeutic powers of art. After nearly a year of simply coloring and keeping busy, someone impressed upon him to try to 'create.' Since then he has worked hard to develop skills in drawing and oil painting, painting a diverse range of subject matter matter from detailed, realistic portraits, to colorful songbirds to abstract forests and even his own mother's red velvet cake."
Red velvet cake. It's an image that, for many, calls up sensory memory: getting the sticky, tangy cream cheese frosting on the tip of your nose, or getting the honor of cutting the first smooth slice of cake. Josh and Jordan Earls' work is different in many ways, but childhood, and their mother's red velvet cake, brings both of their works together in the shared memory of home and family.
According to their mother, Penny, the red velvet cake recipe (passed on through generations, traveling from an aunt to Penny, who tweaked it just to make it "even better") was initially reserved for the special occasion of Christmas. Her sons took such a liking to it, though, that it became a consistent treat: "once I started making it, the boys just latched on…" Bobby jumps in to clarify: "EVERYBODY latched on!"
"Mom's" by Joshua Earls
Josh painted this picture of the cake as a gift to his mother. She says it is still one of her favorite pieces by him.

Josh and Jordan Earls grew up in the foothills of North Carolina. While they didn't seriously pursue visual art or poetry growing up, both brothers were gifted writers. Part of what Penny calls a "musical family," Jordan and Josh taught themselves the guitar and Jordan began writing songs: "they were always real pretty. A lot of Christian songs, contemporary songs… very melodic and very pretty. He always wrote his songs because he wanted to touch people, to grab at heartstrings," says Penny.
Jordan K. Earls
Josh: "I create paintings and drawings that I hope that viewers will be able to connect with on some emotional level. Though my subject matter may be diverse, each of my paintings have been of a person, a scene, an animal or an object which pulled on the strings of my heart in some way. Whether that is by eliciting a nostalgic longing, portraying an often-felt emotion or simply evoking awe in its beauty, they all somewhat represent me."
In addition to the the subject of their personal stories, memories, and family relationships, the Earls each explore a number of different themes in their work. Both have an affinity for nature:
Josh: "If I had to say what my favorite subject is however, it would be the figure and portrait, particularly with a fantastical spin, but I'll love my birds forever"
Jordan: I don't know, I wanted to write about the lightning bug!
Josh also explores fantastical elements in many of his recent works.
Josh: "… I have drawn inspiration from fantasy short stories that I write myself and try to paint the characters and themes."
Josh: "Always in my composition I try to achieve a balance in placement, but also a nice, colorful composition too. I like to place complementary colors next to each other and let them vibrate on the canvas."
Josh: "I am often inspired by the ones who life has sort of hung out to dry."
Most recently, both Josh and Jordan have created pieces on the current reality of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Josh: "I wanted to paint something just to add my voice to so many others who are already expressing their love and gratitude for those medical professionals out there who are saving us all. Really, nothing makes you feel more helpless than when you see your loved ones in need and yet you are completely unable to do anything to help them. I don't get to use my time in quarantine to add my hands to my father's as he fixes up the house, or to pick up the things for my mother that she needs to make a trip to the store for. I can't help prepare a meal for my sister who still has to work through this. I can only sit here. And most of all, if someone I care for is sick, I can only rely on these miracle workers to meet their needs and to make sure they are still "home" when I'm allowed to be there. So I just want to, for any who may be listening, say thanks to the good folks on the front lines. May the appreciation and gratitude of our nation point to them in this new paradigm we are moving into. As one who has all but had their voice taken from them by this punitive system, I'll let my humble art be a voice."
Bobby and Penny Earls are very proud of their sons' work. They hope Jordan and Josh's art will move people, and help them to see the brothers for "who they are, not who people think that they are."
This echoes a sentiment from Josh, for whom those that overcome hardship or "battle with one's emotions and vice" are a major artistic inspiration:
Josh:"… I can't say why it inspires me so much except that I hope that down the road people will appreciate my humanity as well."

Wow what a touching reminder that God uses the broken and contrite heart of His people to bring Joy and Hope in this season of discouragement. Thank you for sharing this Mr. and Mrs. Earl's. I have been thinking about Josh and Jordy from time to time. Glad to see the Lord is still at work.
jelsawaf
Bobby, thank you so much for this message. It was an honor to share Josh and Jordy's work and story through this blog. I am truly touched and so glad that you enjoyed the piece, and think we've captured your sons' artistry– that is more than I could hope for. Thank you again so much for your and Penny's contributions to the piece; it meant so much to speak with you and get to hear your family's story. Wishing you and your family the absolute best in everything!
Jhenna
Thank you so much Penny. I couldn't have created the piece without your help, and I'm so appreciative of you and Bobby sharing your family's story with us. It's a pleasure to share Josh and Jordy's work!
Bobby Earls
Thank you JAC, Wendy and Jhenna, for filling my heart with both joy and pain as I read and looked upon the artistry of my two sons, Josh and Jordy Earls. Even though we experience daily pain that has gone on now for more than eight years; the joy we have discovered because of this pain far exceeds the small and momentary pain. You all did such an amazing job of displaying, communicating and sharing the artistry of our sons. We thank God for your labor of love that blesses so many. I truly pray for God's richest blessings in your lives and work!
Pastor Bobby Earls
Penny Earls

Boulton, George (1792–1862)
An almost universal gloom has been cast over the inhabitants of our town, by the demise of Mr. Boulton, senior, which took place at his residence on the night of Thursday last. The deceased gentleman had been for a number of years a resident at Toowoomba, and his character in social life was the admiration of all who were acquainted with him, as was shown by the very large procession that, in respect to his memory, attended him to his last resting place on Saturday afternoon. Many of the leading families here are thus placed in mourning –Toowoomba Chronicle, Jan. 16.

The theme of the Aircraft Survivability Symposium 2017 is "combat operations and emerging technologies." The goal of this three-day, classified Symposium is to foster technical dialogue and exchange of information on aircraft survivability topics such as design, operational experience, threats current and future, reliability and maintenance, and testing of aircraft survivability technologies. Additionally, the Aircraft Survivability Symposium offers a forum for learning through its presentation of relevant tutorials on survivability related subjects on the first day of the symposium. Using the Naval Postgraduate School as our venue and co-sponsor provides attendees with the unique experience of interacting with researchers, industry and government decision makers, and warfighters on a classified campus to discuss what is needed for the fight today and plan for the survivability challenges of tomorrow.
Aircraft Survivability Symposium 2017 is a SECRET/U.S. ONLY event that will include tutorials and presentations by senior level government and industry representatives, the armed services, and academia. These presenters will discuss survivability technologies, survivability sustainment and operations, threats and counter measures and warfighter lessons learned from recent combat experiences. Government and industry keynotes will present talks on survivability related areas that will set the overall tone for the symposium content. Additionally, the symposium will include a warfighter session to provide firsthand information on survivability effectiveness in today's fight which will inform solutions for tomorrow's challenges.
The Symposium will begin on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 and run through Thursday, November 9, 2017. The first day will offer survivability tutorials from a wide range of topics. The symposium presentations will start on the second day, with an opening keynote address from an industry leader, followed by presentation sessions on key topic areas. The third day will open with a government leader keynote address, followed by technical sessions on survivability related subjects. Technical presentation sessions will include design, operational experience, threats current and future, reliability and maintenance, and testing of aircraft survivability technologies. During both days of presentations, the Symposium will have a technical poster papers area where additional content can be viewed and discussed outside of the formal session presentations. The event will feature displays and extended breaks, and is specifically structured to facilitate relaxed dialogue and continuous networking opportunities among Attendees. Finally, NDIA's Combat Survivability Division (CSD) will recognize individual technical and leadership achievements in a formal awards ceremony during lunch on the third day. New this year, NDIA has established a new award to recognize the contributions of young professionals within the aircraft survivability community.

Q: How to use a layout for emails in Zend Framework I would like to use a layout for the emails I'm sending out. I'm currently usine Zend Layout for the web pages, but would like to theme my emails as well.
Here is what I've tried.
This is my function that sends the email
    $layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
    $this->_view->render($template);
    $html = $layout->render('email');
    $this->setBodyHtml($html,$this->getCharset(), $encoding);
    $this->send();

The email layout is simply
    The email content
    <?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>

When it comes through as an email it just has...
    The email content

A: You're pretty close in your original method; however, you have to perform a couple extra steps on Zend_Layout to get what you want:
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
$layout->setLayout('email')
    ->disableLayout();
$layout->content = $this->_view->render($template);
$html = $layout->render();

$this->setBodyHtml($html, $this->getCharSet(), $encoding)->send();

The call to Zend_Layout::disableLayout() prevents direct output of the layout rendering and allows you instead to store the rendered layout in the $html variable. Then, you have to manually store the rendering of the Zend_View template in into the Zend_Layout::content variable. After that, you're set.
You can also use Zend_Layout::setView to set an instance of Zend_View within the layout so that when you render the layout, you can get access to view variables. You could probably also write a view helper to take care of this.

A: Have you considered just using Zend_View to generate your email template?

Justin Roiland Net Worth 2021 | Girlfriend, Wife, Bio, Movies & TV Shows
January 4, 2021 January 4, 2021 by Famous People Today's Staff
Justin Roiland is an American writer, producer, director, and voice actor who voiced the character Lemongrab on Adventure Time and was the voice of Oscar on Disney's Fish Hooks. But, Justin is best known for creating the "Rick and Morty" series and voicing both of the lead characters.
He was born on February 21, 1980, in Stockton, California, USA. Justin has a younger sister named Amy Roiland, who works as a fashion designer.
As a child, Roiland says he loved watching "The Ren & Stimpy Show," an American animated television series that follows the adventures of title characters Stimpy, a good-natured yet dimwitted cat, and Ren, an emotionally unstable chihuahua.
The series was created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.
Justin went to Sierra High School and Manteca High School. After high school, Roiland attended Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California.
In 2004, he moved to LA and got involved with Channel 101, an Los Angeles media collective that was started by Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon, where Justin acted in the VH1 television show Acceptable TV as well as in various movie shorts, like – House of Cosbys and 2 Girls One Cup: The Show.

Roiland then featured regularly on Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program as "Blonde Craig."
Justin co-hosted The Grandma's Virginity Podcast with Jackie Buscarino and Ryan Ridley, from 2010 to 2013.
Squanchtendo
In 2016, he co-founded a virtual reality studio – "Squanchtendo." The name comes from Squanchy, one of the main characters on Justin's show – "Rick and Morty."
In the same year, collaborating with Crows Crows Crows (a studio that is based in Berlin and is working on experimental and unique video games), Squanchtendo released – "Accounting," a virtual reality video for the SteamVR platform.
When asked what made him want to become a video game developer, Justin responded:
"VR was sort of the gateway drug for me, it blew my mind… It was the future!"
In 2017, he changed the name "Squanchtendo" to "Squanch Games."
Harmon, Roiland, and Spencer Grammer – © Guliver / Getty Images
The official statement is:
"We recently discovered a video game related company with a similar name to our former name. We never could have predicted the discovery of a video game entity with such a similar name."
They also said:
"What a surprise to us. We were shocked and surprised. So we decided in order to avoid confusion we are changing the back half of our name!"
Justin currently works as a voice actor on Rick & Morty, for which he is also a co-writer, co-creator, and executive producer with Dan Harmon (an American producer, rapper, writer, actor, and podcaster).
"Rick and Morty" is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom that was created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series premiered on December 2, 2013, and the 3rd season concluded on October 1, 2017.
The series has received near-universal critical acclaim, holding a 97 percent approval rating by critics on review Rotten Tomatoes, one of the most trusted measurements of quality for movies and TV series.
The series follows the misadventures of Rick Sanchez, a cynical mad scientist, and his grandson Morty Smith, who split their time between interdimensional adventures and domestic life.

During an interview, Roiland said that he hates doing the voice of Rick due to the many burps he has to do. In his words:
"In the pilot episode, I burped on every single line. It took four hours to record, and I went home and I felt like I might need to go to the hospital.~
In a review shortly after the 2nd-season premiere, Sean Sebastian of Junkee declared that although the over-the-top voice acting and the crude animation might have discouraged some viewers to continue watching, the series is "exceptionally well-made."
David Sims of The A.V. Club applauded Justin's voice talent for the eponymous characters and the "effort to give each character a little bit of depth." Furthermore, David stated that "Rick and Morty" has "a dark, sick sensibility" and liked the animation for its "clean, simple style."
Todd Spangler of Variety said about "Rick and Morty" that it is "a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger" and that the series "often seems overly reliant on simply being frenetic at the expense of being witty."
Wife/Girlfriend
Justin Roiland is not married, but he used to date Abbie Lyn Maley.

Q: Prove that a subset of the minimal uncountable well-ordered set is uncountable
Theorem. There exists a well ordered set $A$ having a largest element $\Omega$ such that the section $S_\Omega$  of $A$ by $\Omega$ is uncountable but every other section of $A$ is countable.
Proof. Consider an uncountable well ordered set $B$, consider $C=\{1,2\}\times B$ with the lexicographic order and let $\Omega $ be the smallest element of $C$ for which $S_\Omega=\{x\in C| x<\Omega\}$ is uncountable. Let $A=S_\Omega\cup\{\Omega\}$
.

I'm trying to show that if $X_0$ is a subset of $S_\Omega$ of all elements that have no immediate predecessors, then $X_0$ is uncountable.
Assume the converse: $X_0$ is countable. Any countable subset of $S_\Omega$ has an upper bound in $S_\Omega$. Let $\Gamma \in S_\Omega$ be this bound: $x\le \Gamma$ for all $x\in X_0$. Now $S_\Omega$ has no largest element, so every element in $S_\Omega$ has an immediate successors. I believe I have to apply this to elements of $X_0$ and find connection with immediate predecessors. So for every $x$ in $X_0$, there is an immediate successor $s(x)\in X_0$. But how to establish connection between immediate predecessors and get a contradiction?

A: If you're allowed to use the fact that any countable set is bounded in $S_\Omega$ (which is true, but not quite trivial from what you've mentioned so far unless I'm missing something), then you're on the right track with letting $\Gamma$ be an upper bound for $X_0.$
What you want to look at then is the set $Z=\{x\in S_\Omega : x \ge \Gamma\}.$ In this set, by definition, every element except possibly $\Gamma$ has an immediate predecessor. And it's easy to see that for every element of $Z$ except $\Gamma,$ the element's immediate predecessor is in $Z.$ So $Z$ is a well-ordered set with least element $\Gamma$ such that every other element has an immediate predecessor. This means $Z$ is order isomorphic to the natural numbers with their usual ordering, and hence is countable, which gives the required contradiction.
To see that it is isomorphic to the natural numbers, take any $z_0\in Z$ (other than $\Gamma$). Then let $z_1$ be the immediate predecessor of $z_0,$ and $z_2$ the predecessor of $z_1$ if $z_1\ne \Gamma,$ and so on. This sequence must hit $\Gamma$ at some point, because otherwise the sequence would give a set with no least element. Thus every element of $Z$ is the $n$-th successor of $\Gamma$ for some $n.$
Alternatively, you can prove that $X_0$ is unbounded (and hence uncountable) directly, as Carl suggested in the comments. Let $a\in S_\Omega.$ Well ordering implies every element has an immediate successor, so define recursively $a_0=a,$ $a_{n+1}=s(a_n),$ and $A=\{a_n :n\in \mathbb N\}$
You know that the initial segment $S_a$ of elements $< a$ is countable, and that that $A$ is countable. You can also show that $S_a\cup A$ contains the initial segment of each of its elements and the successor of each of its elements.
$S_a\cup A$ is countable, hence not all of $S_\Omega,$ so there is a least element $b\in S_\Omega$ larger than all of its members. In fact, we have $S_a\cup A=S_b.$ We can see that $b$ does not have an immediate predecessor since any element $c<b$ is in $S_a\cup A,$ so $s(c)\in S_a\cup A$ so is not equal to $b.$

Our modern life is cluttered with day-to-day hurdles. Exploring creativity with Amanda Blake Soule could save your family from the unintentional and mundane routine.
The Creative Family Manifesto (Roost Books, 2017) by Amanda Blake Soule dives into the challenges of raising children during our time. You can find advice on how to embrace life with a more simple approach and learn how to create meaningful connections along the way. The following handmade guide will allow time to relax, play and grow together. This following excerpt is from the introduction "A Creative Journey".
At the heart of every mindful and loving family lie the seeds of endless creativity. With patience, support, and just a bit of guidance, that creativity can flourish and grow in beautiful ways. In our modern lives, it's all too easy to get swept up in the busyness of the day-to-day — meals, cleaning, school, work, and other life details often stand in the way of the time we need to pursue our creative endeavors. As parents, it is both our responsibility and our privilege to be sure that our family's creative spirits have all the room and tools they need to soar freely.
Fortunately, we don't have to "teach" our children to be creative — inherent in the very core of children's beings is the embodiment of creativity. To think of something in a new way, to inquire about something that others don't even question, to come up with something truly unique and new is what children do best. When we give our children the space and encouragement to explore their own creativity, they can become our most inspiring of artists, our most inquisitive of scientists, and our most original of philosophers.
As their parents, we are blessed to have these amazing teachers. I'm reminded of this each and every day as I watch my children in the simple and small, but fully creative and dynamic, things they do: Adelaide, our one-year-old, finding pure delight in a basket of fabric from which she can recover her favorite piece of purple silk and start a game of peekaboo; Ezra, our three-year-old, lying on a riverbank and examining handful after handful of the earth's rich clay, which he later portrays in a painting; Calvin, our five-year-old, rushing out of bed to draw his dream before he forgets it — a gigantic half-pipe with a dozen or so skateboarders, kids on scooters, and inline skaters spinning around in circles, all with gigantic smiles on their faces. These seemingly simple acts of childhood are small, yet full of wonder, appreciation, and imagination.
Given the creative nature of children, it is no coincidence that so many of us are led to seek a more creative life in their presence. Either an old creative passion or pursuit that has been forgotten is internally churned up, or we suddenly feel a need for something else in our lives when we've never considered ourselves creative before. Being around even the youngest children — and the purity of their rich creative energy — brings out our need for that same innovative spirit. They inspire us not only to nurture and embrace all of who they are, but to nurture and embrace our own creative selves as well.
I would often make things with my paternal grandmother on the weekends. She was an accomplished seamstress and knitter, and my visits with her would start with a trip to the fabric store for a pattern and materials. More often than not, I would return home at the end of the weekend with a new garment that we'd made together. I learned from her the skills of sewing, and I enjoyed our time together immensely, but I was never thrilled or passionate about the projects. In fact, I was rather turned off by the details and confusing nature of all the "rules" of sewing by pattern.
Later on, in my college years, I would periodically dabble in one crafty project after another — trying to teach myself to knit, playing with clay or pottery, sewing an apartment curtain here or there. I enjoyed all of it, but it was never anything that stuck, and eventually, I would pack the sewing machine (or whatever the supplies of the moment were) back up and store them in the closet.
All of that changed for me in a life-altering way when I was pregnant with my first child. I found myself suddenly consumed with wanting to knit. Which is just what I did. I knit morning, noon, and night. I knit with a passion that surprised and changed me. There was something powerful happening when I was knitting for my little one. I felt peaceful and soothed and calmed, and at the same time, fully present in the moment. The simple act of wrapping some yarn around two sticks was repetitive, meditative. As I would knit a baby sweater, blanket, or hat, I felt as though each stitch carried my intent and thoughts of love for the child who would be wearing it. It was becoming something before my eyes. So I knit and knit, and when my hands tired of knitting, I embroidered and eventually began sewing. It was truly a gift to me — a gift of connection to the past, of mindfulness, of intent.
I had long had a love of vintage textiles, a love that came from my maternal grandmother. When I was a child, we would go on many grand adventures together through rural Maine to yard sales and antique shops looking for "treasures." Even as a young girl, I was drawn to the textiles — old quilts, embroidered linens. Years later when I was discovering knitting, all of this made sense for the first time. These old objects that I had loved and the handwork that I was now loving were a connection to the past, a connection to women before me who had made such beautiful things. Their objective was one of practical reality — keeping their family warm and clothed. Yet, also in the process, their love came through as they created amazing works of art.
By the time my first child was born, I realized that my newly found creativity was too important to lose. I began to notice that when I was able to fit a bit of creating into my day, I was more centered, at peace, and fulfilled. All those things made me a calmer, more patient, and more mindful parent. My needs were getting met, and I was therefore able to meet the needs of my children even better. Creating quickly became an essential requirement. I was determined to find a way and time to make creativity a part of my life as a mother. Knitting was a pretty easy medium for that. I changed the projects I was working on to accommodate our daily lives. I kept baskets of knitting throughout the house, so if I ever had just a minute, I could easily grab my work and knit while my son played on the floor with me. I'd work on simpler projects that required a bit less of my attention. And I'd always travel with a project, in case there would be a moment I could claim for creativity. Yes, I would even knit at long stoplights.
I know that I am not the only one whose creative life was sparked by the birth of their children. I have talked to so many other people who felt the same need arise once they became parents and to people who are searching for ways to incorporate their creative passion into family life — parents who are inspired to create themselves after watching their young children's creative spirits growing and soaring. Whether you've been creating your whole life or have been inspired to do so since becoming a parent, there are ways you can incorporate creativity into your day-to-day activities. It may take some tweaking, a bit of juggling, lots of rearranging, and much patience, but I assure you, it can be done if the desire is strong enough. And it is worth it. A large part of nurturing a spirit of creativity comes from being mindful, slowing down, observing, and looking around you at the beauty and inspiration all around. We are blessed as parents to have the best teachers for this — our children. Stop and watch your children often. Really stop and watch, and you'll see them using such creativity in everything they do — a toddler picking dandelions, a young child making something out of blocks — they inherently work and play with creativity, intent, and imagination.
I now have a need and desire to create every day. It may be as simple as a walk with my three-year-old during which we find a pinecone to bring home and draw together, or it may be handwork on a quilt that I work on in solitude. In many ways, it doesn't really matter what the daily outcome is. What is so deeply important to my soul and the soul of my family is the act and the process of creating itself.
As my need to create things on my own has grown because of my children, so has my desire to create with my children. I see both my personal creative efforts and the act of engaging creatively with my children as being on the same continuum of creative living — they feed into each other. Being creative (in whatever capacity) is important: important to me, because I feel myself to be a more complete person when my creativity is expressed; important to my children, who witness adults growing, sharing, and learning creatively; and important to my family, who grow and connect by creating together. It is so important to me that my children not only see this creative pursuit and drive in action, but also that we do it together and that they fully know, love, and embrace their own creative selves. A lot of my time and energy goes toward making this happen — thinking of things for us to do together and visiting the issues of why I want us to do them together.
This book is the result of that labor, and I hope that it will speak to you and give you practical tips and ideas toward making creativity happen in your everyday life as a family. The joyful act of creating together can be positively magical and truly a gift for everyone. Much of our cultural energy is spent filling our minds, hearts, and time with things outside our families, as is evident in the smaller amount of time that families spend together and at home. There's a missing piece in this search for fulfillment — the piece that's home, connection, and heart. While all the external events and energy are wonderful, it is often forgotten that the home and family can be a tremendous source of balance, happiness, inspiration, and creativity. The experience of turning inward toward our family for creative fulfillment can be an amazing and powerful experience for the entire family — young and old.
Community — the ways in which we can connect to others around us, in both our local and global communities, through the act of creative living.
ways please you. Living a creative life can encompass all areas of our family life — from our hobbies, to the way we connect with nature, to the ways we connect in our community, to the ways we celebrate our days together, and to the ways we celebrate each other. This book attempts to offer a wide range of ideas on living creatively.
All of the activities included in this book have in some way had a presence in my family's life. They are a collection of projects we have loved in the past, projects we are currently in the midst of, or projects that we are planning for the future. There is a wide range of ability levels required, and great variety in the creative mediums they use. None of them are intended to be firm and rigid ideas that must be conformed to. Don't be afraid to be, well, creative about your use of these activities in your own family. Start at the beginning and do a chapter each month or skip around to what interests you the most. Just find something that speaks to you and get started creating with or for your children.
My great hope in writing this book is that something you read here will spark a project in your family — and that fun will be had, connections will be made, and creative spirits of all ages will soar. The most important lesson I think we can learn is simply to create. Let your children see you creating. Create for yourself and for them. And create with them. When you do this with love and intent, I promise you there will always be beautiful results.

Sport at Griffith, it's more than you know
Sport is a growing global industry, with no signs of slowing down. As well as major international, multi-sport events such as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, every sport from athletics to surfing to skeleton have some form of world championships, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have a Sport Diplomacy Strategy, and sport is now used widely as a tool for international development.
My dream was always to work in the winter sport industry, and so when I discovered that Griffith was the only university in Brisbane to offer a degree in sport management, I knew it was the obvious choice. Although it wasn't until first year when I realised just how much Griffith's involvement in sport can help students succeed in any discipline. Griffith is an Official Partner of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018). This is the first partnership of its kind between a university and major international sporting event, and it reflects the depth of Griffith's sporting knowledge and expertise.
Here's an overview of the many ways you can get involved with sport – professionally, competitively, or socially — at Griffith.
Networking: The teaching staff within the sport management major in the Griffith Business School have industry-wide connections and access to student opportunities across the globe. From volunteering at a Gold Coast Titans U16 Rugby Competition, to attending a 'Future of Baseball' seminar at New York University, networking with Griffith's academic staff exposed me to the global sport industry.
Work experience: Partnerships with organisations such as the Brisbane Roar, Gold Coast Academy of Sport and internal departments such as Griffith Sport and the Student Guild, provide a direct link for students to gain work experience in the sport industry. During my degree, I worked on the event team of Surfing Queensland, which included a gig at the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro! I also spent a semester volunteering as the Griffith Mates Social Sport Coordinator.
Coursework: There are sport-related subjects and research across many disciplines, and this could be a good way to spend any of your free-choice electives. These courses include subjects such as Sports Law, Sport Engineering and Sport Psychology, to name a few.
Research: Griffith is well-recognised for its research relating to the sport industry done by industry experts, there are projects relating to Women in Sport, wearable technology, sport economics, and more. In late 2017, Griffith successfully hosted the annual Sport Management Association of Australia and New Zealand Conference. In my final year, I was accepted through Griffith to complete a research internship in sport socio-cultural studies at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
Elite athletes: The Griffith Sports College is something all Griffith students should be proud of. As an Elite Athlete Friendly University, Griffith supports 500 students who are elite athletes through the College, offering important services to help them balance study commitments while competing at the highest level in their sport.
Social sport: No matter your campus, age, background, whether you're undergraduate or postgraduate, or whether you've played sport before or not, Griffith offers a social sport program for all students in every semester. You can try anything such as Volleyball, soccer, basketball, and more! Oh, and guess what? Griffith offers a social sport schedule for the community as well! You don't even have to be a student to play.
Uni Games: Whilst no longer officially called "Uni Games", the 2018 Nationals programs offer a week-long multi-sport event for students of all ages and abilities to participate in a variety of sports. As the 2018 Nationals are being held on the Gold Coast, you might even get to use the same grounds as GC2018 athletes! More than just fun, if you've been to a Uni Games before and are looking to build professional skills in a fun environment, Griffith are currently seeking Team Leaders to lead our team to victory.
Physical activity 'at your own pace': Griffith have more facilities than you can count on this one. From the multi-sport venues at the Mt Gravatt campus, to the Nathan football fields and the brand-new Gold Coast Campus Aquatic Centre, Griffith offers exercise and fitness programs in any format and facilities for students and non-students alike.
As you can see, sport at Griffith offers students unique professional insights into a global industry, as well as fun opportunities for socialising. As people from all over the world flock to South East Queensland for GC2018, Griffith staff and students can proudly share their knowledge of Griffith's sporting excellence, both on and off the field.

Here are some stories from people who have watched the movie Fireproof or done some of "The Love Dare." Some of these stories are wonderful testimonies, some are very sad, and some are still unfolding. As I read these and other marriage stories I feel sad that there are so many struggling marriages. I am encouraged to hear some inspiring testimonies.
I did the love dare on my husband, then a year later he done it on me. We were probably headed for divorce both times but we still loved each other. We both thought we were saved and doing what God had planned for us. But God showed us both that we weren't doing what he had planned for us. Both of us were active in church, but in the back of my mind I knew God didn't want us to limit ourselves to just going and working in church. So I suggested we open a bar and grill. Suprised everyone in my life including my husband. 4 years after opening the bar and grill, we have church in our bar on Sunday. Yes we did the unthinkable, but we have reached people who vowed to never step foot in church. We have atheist ,buddist,Catholics,and a lot of people who thought God gave up on them or was once a Christian and got hurt by someone in church.My story is alot longer and I believe God put a bigger calling on our lives. Which I have not shared with many,but I believe he wants me to help people by giving them a hand up,not a hand out. And believe me it's gonna take alot of money,time,devotion, attention, prayers, and love but I will do what God wants me to do. My marriage is still not perfect, but with God's help we will be going on to do more of the things he leads us to do.I don't know why I'm sharing all my private thoughts with all of you who are reading this but if you have any questions or answers for me,my email address is fashiondiva.pc@gmail.com. May God bless you all.


Jiangsu University is undoubtedly one of the best and top medical educational institutions to consider if you are planning to study MBBS in China. The ranking of this university is very high. This MCI recognized university provides high-quality education for MBBS in China at a very affordable fee. A large part of Indian students are flocking to study MBBS in abroad instead of doing MBBS in India because the fee structure for a medical course in India is quite high.
The total duration of MBBS in China at Jiangsu University is a period of six years including one entire year of internship. However, internship in China is not compulsory. Indian students can come back to India after five years of studies and do their internship in India. In case, a student does one year of internship in China before coming back to India, his/her internship is valid in India.
Zhejiang is an eastern coastal province in People's Republic of China. Furthermore, it has a rural interior with picturesque sites. Moreover, it is bordered by Jiangsu and Shanghai to the north, Anhui to the northwest, Jiangxi to the west, East China Sea to the east, and Fujian to the south.
Zhenjiang has a subtropical monsoon climate. It experiences all four distinct seasons. The spring and autumn seasons are very pleasing in this city. January is the coldest while July is the hottest month of the year.
