A good deal of lore lies in (and out) of this lovely poem, and I'll attend to that first before giving the poem a close reading. Curiously enough, some contemporary readers quibbled with Longfellow when this poem appeared in his 1850 volume The Seaside and the Fireside. The scenes described, they said, weren't visible from the Devereux Farm, which was set back inland too far from the harbor (for a map of which, cf. below).
Lore of this sort has its interest, and suggests what a reader may, in some sense, be said to "learn" from reading in and around a poem. But my real interest has little to do with whether or not the dismantled fort could actually be seen from where Longfellow and his friends once sat round a fire.
Marblehead and environs. The blue pin marks the site of Devereux Beach; the farm presumably lay just inland. The towns of Peabody and Salem are nearby; we are just northeast of Boston, here. Clicking on the image will, again, take you to an article about Marblehead.
The syntax of those last two lines is as graceful as it is, in the equations it draws, unbearable. These lines assimilate "scene" to "agents" (as Kenneth Burke might say): what burns without, and what burns within—fire built from ruined ships, ships ventured and lost; and "burning" thoughts that dwell, in the faceless dark, upon the "long-lost ventures of the heart," ventures in love, in friendship, in vocation, in hope. All is wreckage.
"Sail on!" it says, "sail on, ye stately ships!
I should point out that this poem, "Resignation," dates from the autumn of 1848, shortly after the death of Longfellow's fifteen-month old daughter Fanny on September 11.

For me, these beliefs are newborn infants I am swaddling and nursing to life.
Do I think about wealth or poverty?
Do I think about vengeance or justice?
Do I think about freedom or control?
Do I think about winning or losing?
Do I think about war or peace?
Do I think about success or failure?
Do I think about living or dying?
Do I think about what I intend or what I fear?
Do I think about goals or obstacles?
Do I think about illness or health?
My thoughts are mine alone. I am responsible for my thoughts. I choose my thoughts, so I become what I choose to become.
When I disagree with someone, do I withdraw, attack, or listen and learn something?
Can I set aside my pride and ask for help?
Do I treat others the way I would like to be treated?
Do I listen empathically to people, including myself?
Do I celebrate other people's successes, or envy them?
Do I help others and expect nothing in return?
Do I ask others to join with me to reach shared goals?
Do I reward people for their efforts, including myself?
What is the universe? Why does it exist?
Why can I feel emotion?
Why is the universe so large? Why not just one sun and one planet? Why the rest of it?
Why can I learn? Why am I not pre-programmed?
Why do I intuitively know the answer to some questions? Where does that come from?
Does time exist? Can I ever experience the past? Can I ever experience the future? Am I stuck only experiencing the present?
The more questions I ask, the more I realize how little I know. I find this belief empowering because I no longer feel the need to know everything, just the desire to know more. There is no end to what I can discover. While I believe I really don't know much of anything, I also have a strange intuition that the answers to all my questions reside within my consciousness and all I need to do is remember the answer.
I once believed that I had to pick a set of beliefs (religious, political, philosophical, spiritual, economic) and hold on to them like the breath of life – that I had to defend my beliefs and justify my beliefs. I believed those beliefs had to fit into some pre-defined category. At times, I even believed it would be okay to kill for my beliefs. Paging back through my memories, I realize that my beliefs evolved as I learned and matured, so if my beliefs stop changing I have likely stopped learning and maturing too. Being open to new beliefs is to be open to growth. This belief doesn't mean I should change my beliefs, it means I can choose to change them.
If you aren't getting the results you desire or expect, try on some new beliefs, look in the mirror, and see if you like what you see.
Fine article. Made me think. What came into my head, if I had to define my sense of empowerment, and what you say in #4 above, is that change is always for the better. The past is over, so don't live there, thinking about what you didn't get that someone else has, justifying your personal state of rotten-ness. Don't dwell too much dragging yourself through today, the job, the kids, the groceries, it's all temporary. In your head, live today in the future you want tomorrow, even though it might change along the way. Welcome any change with curiosity, like a new puzzle piece you've been given, and can turn about to see how it fits best in the big puzzle. It's not to be kept at arm's length, so as not to rock the boat of the present.
You do not choose your thoughts. The brain is a mechanism that responds to external stimuli. Think about something right now, go ahead. Now was that something related to anything that you saw, felt, or read? Of course it was. Now think about crayons. Did you think about crayons because you chose to or because I asked you to? Free will is one of the most oppressive misconceptions on human development. Once we get past it and understand the determined mind then we can flourish, until then we labor under the misconception that we should have been able to do something instead of recognizing that we had no say and correcting the matter through interaction with other causal agents.

How To Help Siblings Get Along Better
Sibling rivalry is often taken as an unexamined fact of family life — as much a part of parenting as potty training or bedtime storie
But experts say parents don't have to put up with the bickering and the fights: There are strategies and techniques to help brothers and sisters get along better, strengthening a relationship that will support them for life and make for a more harmonious home.
Given the enforced proximity that is still a reality for many during the Covid-19 pandemic, a game plan to improve sibling relationshipscould be a lifesaver for struggling parents tired of snarled insults and hurled objects.
"It's been part of our culture, at least in the US, to think that siblings fight. That there's going to be lots of times they don't get along. That's what they do," said Laurie Kramer, a professor of applied psychology at Northeastern University in Boston.
"When social lives are so restricted, families really see the value of encouraging their kids to be friends, in some respects, to be companions and playmates."
Unlike many of our relationships, we don't choose our siblings, and this makes fora unique dynamic. Brothers and sisters can withstand far more negativity and behaviorthat simply wouldn't fly among friends, Kramer said.
That's one reason why sibling interactions are developmentally so important. These relationships allow children to try out new social and emotional behavior, particularly when it comes to conflict, helping them learn ways to manage emotions and develop awareness of other people's thoughts and feelings.
"It's helpful for children to have experiences in a very safe relationship with a brother or sister where they can work through (conflict) and learn conflict management skills that they will be able to use in other relationships in their life," Kramer said.
"Conflict can be very constructive and helpful. It helps children get a sense of who they are and their own identity."
It's worth parents spending some time to help their children get along since these are typically the longest-lasting of our close relationships. That shared history can be really important in a crisis.
So what steps should you take to help feuding siblings get along? Here are some ideas.
One-on-one time
It may sound counterintuitive, but scheduling regular one-on-one time with your children is a good first move.
"When you have one-on-one time there is no competition for your attention. There are no perceived winners and losers in this regard," said family therapist Jonathan Caspi, a professor in the department of family science and human development at Montclair State University in New Jersey.
"There is the ability to praise and correct without the audience (and it having any meaning) for the other children. It's a freer relationship and one in which bonding and closeness can be developed without interference," he said via email.
Another tip: While it's tempting to seize the moments they do get along to get things done, it's important to take a moment and praise siblings when they are cooperating and playing nicely — parent the good behavior as well as the bad.
Intervene or ignore?
Tougher to deal with are the fights and knowing when to intervene or not.As a rule, Caspi said, it's better to ignore simple bickering.
However, he stressed that physical violence and the name calling that often precedes it should be policed.
"Since violence escalates incrementally in its severity, it is important that parents stop verbal violence before it becomes physical. Name calling is violence and opens the door for escalation into more severe violence."
"Do not allow your children to call each other curse words or negative terms like 'fat,' 'stupid,' 'icky,' etc. While physical wounds heal, verbal ones can last a lifetime."
Children under the age of 8 don't usually have the skills to manage conflict, said Kramer, who encouraged parents to act as mediators or coaches to facilitate solving the problem at hand rather than serving as a referee.
"What happens when parents do nothing and don't intervene is that children can get the message that parents think what you're doing is OK. That it's all right to keep on at one another," she said.
"We encourage parents to intervene to help children manage conflict on their own."
For example, Kramer suggested saying something along the following line: "I'm hearing some scuffling. I'm hearing some conflict. I'd like for the two of you to work this out together. If you need some help, I'm down the hall but let's see what you can do on your own."
It was once thought that girls used more verbal aggression than boys, Caspi said, but research is suggesting that sisters are just as apt to use physical violence as much as brothers.
"The difference may be how severe the physical violence gets. Boys tend to do more damage, particularly when older," he said via email. "It was also assumed that girls relied more on relational aggression (e.g., strategies to socially humiliate, isolating, injure reputation) than boys. However, there is evidence that brothers use this approach about the same too."
The danger with intervening or involving yourself in children's disagreements is that it can backfire and fuel the fighting.
Parents tend to intervene on behalf of the younger child, which builds more resentment in the older and empowers the younger to challenge the older more frequently, Caspi said. Avoid phrases like "You're bigger, be nice!" "Be a good role model," or "She's little, let her have the toy."
"Another reason for bickering is parents who make lots of comparisons. Parents should avoid comparing their children. Children hear the comparisons and it creates more competition and fighting," he said.
It's also important to take complaints seriously. For example, if a child consistently complains, "It's not fair" — something I find particularly challenging in dealing with my own daughters.
"When children complain about fairness, parents often dismiss it … which only confirms the sense that they are on the outside in the parent-children relationship. Acknowledge the feelings and openly discuss it," Caspi said.
"Parents should observe how they intervene in sibling conflicts. Are you taking one's side more than the other's? If so, change it up," he said.
Lastly, and perhaps most crucially, both Caspi and Kramer said that it's important for parents to cut themselves some slack and take care of their own mental health. Kids can pick up on stress and tension, and this may lead to more fights.
"Parents are stretched in so many different ways right now," Kramer said.

Wildfire news leads off today with another excellent article from Richard Brooks of San Bernardino Press-Enterprise, this time providing a close-up view of one of the workhorses of wildfire fighting, the Erickson Air-Crane, before they head home for the winter, and CAL FIRE releases seasonal firefighters after a busy season, as recounted by the article that follows. The next item touches on something that recedes from view all too quickly after the fires are out: the plight of the victims. As a major storm hits Southern California, two articles underscore the danger from mudslides in the burn areas. An Op-Ed piece by the director of the John Muir Project offers an environmentalist's viewpoint on an article listed in News Of The Day 12/1: "Sierra Nevada climate changes feed monster, forest-devouring fires". The new administration is putting together a team to tackle climate change (and the resultant wildfires) 'head on', as related by the next article, and with the new administration, there is hope that USFS upper management will be more agreeable to change than administrations stretching back many years have been. Moving to Florida, rains have still not driven fuel moisture levels up enough to give them relief from potential wildfires. Moving overseas, Epson is wading into restoration of Portugal's forests after the devastating wildfires they've had there in the past couple of years, and in Tanzania, Africa, there is a great deal of discussion regarding their forest resources and how best to utilize them in a responsible manner. Down Under, Victoria, Australia is thankful for some soaking rains that have reduced bushfire danger there, at least until the first of the year, but cattlemen in that state are miffed with fire authorities on the proposed fire plan that could chase their herds out of the forested areas, and a firebug is vexing authorities in New South Wales.
Wildfire Victims: Forgotten after the Fires?

Lady Bruins Claim Lions Tournament Title
37161a.jpg
After a pair of dramatic finishes landed Riverbank High's varsity girls basketball team wins in each of their first two contests, a 14-point win in their third offered a much-needed sigh of relief.
The Lady Bruins squeezed by Turlock Christian and Ripon Christian in the first two rounds of the 35th Annual Lions Club Girls Invitational at Escalon, then rallied past Central Catholic with a 31-17 mid-game rally to take the tournament title on Friday.
According to Bruin coach Tim Carnes, it was Riverbank's first Lions Club title since the early 1980s.
"I believe we are far away from being good, but it is starting to click and the girls are starting to click and gel together," Carnes said. "There are no personal conflicts on this team, which is cool."
The Lady Bruins were tested earlier after landing a difficult round one match-up with Turlock Christian. The Eagles were unbeaten Southern League champions a season ago and made the Division V California Interscholastic Federation State playoffs after two one-sided wins to start their postseason.
The Eagles returned six-foot, two-inch senior captain Marly Burton (2010-11 leading rebounder) to the varsity lineup, but Burton was held to two points and just three offensive rebounds against Riverbank.
Her limited production was a credit to the terrific defensive play of Bruin sophomore Janelle Luu, who scored 11 points in the game and battled Burton in the post throughout the contest.
"Janelle is amazing," Carnes said. "She is a (five foot, 11 inch) sophomore who guarded a 6-2 senior and was out-gunned by 80 or 90 pounds. Janelle had only two fouls and played nearly flawless."
Riverbank struggled to execute a zone defense during a 17-8 first quarter deficit, but bounced back to lead after three quarters. The Bruins pulled away after a good fourth quarter start and sealed the win with 39 seconds to play when Vanessa Vargas drained back-to-back free throws for a 37-30 win.
Vargas had six points in the win while Olivia Luu (12 points), Tori Sandoval (four), Kendra Garcia (four) and Tiffany Edgar (two) also found the net.
The Bruins nearly missed a chance to play for the tournament title during a semifinal contest with Ripon Christian (12-2 SL in 2010-11), but Janelle Luu sunk a basket with two-seconds to play to cap a 41-38 victory.
Riverbank led 13-2 after a quarter and won the fourth-quarter tally 16-14, but gave the Knights a combined six-point advantage during the second and third quarters.
Olivia Luu landed 22 points while Janelle Luu (seven), Vargas (five), Angel Harrell (five) and Garcia (two) also scored.
Vargas erupted for 18 points against Central Catholic in the tourney finals and saw Janelle Luu (15), Olivia Luu (14), Harrell (six), Sandoval (three) and Garcia (two) all find the net.
The Luu sisters were also honored for their efforts, with Olivia selected as the tournament MVP and Janelle named to the All-Tournament Team.

At what age did Lincoln die?
The words from Abraham Lincoln's speech, "to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan," consider as his motto.
Today, these words are written on a pair of metal plaques at the entrance to the Washington, DC headquarters of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
On 1865 April 15, at 7:22 am, Abraham Lincoln died at the age of 56 due to a gunshot wound; shot by a stage actor, John Wilkes Booth, a night before. The bullet wound became the reason for his unexpected death.
What were Abraham Lincoln dying words?
There is a huge controversy about the dying words of Abraham Lincoln. According to various websites, Lincoln's last words were: "We will visit the Holy Land, and see those places hallowed by the footsteps of the Savior. There is no city on earth I so much desire to see as Jerusalem."
However, there is no full authenticity or official records about his last saying, they are possibly like this, but there is no certainty.
According to Dr. Anson Henry, who wrote on April 19, 1865 (only 5 days after the assassination), his last words were:
"She [Mary] sat close to him and was leaning on his lap looking up at his face when the fatal shot was fired, his last words being in answer to her question 'What will Miss Harris [one of their guests in the presidential box] think of my hanging on to you so?'—'She won't think anything about it.'"
There's no surety that which one is correct but, the second one seems more precise according to his dying situation.
What did Abraham Lincoln say about fear?
In his normal life, Lincoln is afraid of women, as shown by his sarcastic saying: "A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me." — Abraham Lincoln
However, politically, his greatest fear was the rift fronted by abolitionists that could split up the country into slaveholding and non-slaveholding states.

The transition from adolescence to independent young adulthood can be an especially challenging time for people with special health care needs, including those with genetic conditions. An often overlooked area of discussion for teens revolves around starting one's own family and who can assist in planning and assessing genetic risk factors young adults need to know their medical history and rights as they consider their future.
To help patients, families and caregivers understand many important issues related to this period of transition, Nemours received an Impact Award from the Genetic Alliance, to develop two videos now available on YouTube. The videos address family planning and adult challenges for young people with genetic conditions.
"Becoming an Adult: Planning for a Family"
This video focuses on general information about family planning considerations for special needs youth, including those with genetic conditions.
Topics include medication safety in pregnancy, preconception and prenatal genetic screening and testing, and how to access resources such as genetic counselors and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
"Living with a Genetic Condition: Planning For Your Future"
This video includes a brief review of basic genetics, what it means to have a genetic condition and how to find out more about it.
The importance of continued genetics follow-up in adulthood is emphasized, for both those with a well-described condition and those with a presumed genetic disorder. The video also discusses implications of having a genetic condition with regard to insurance and employment law.
The videos were written and directed by the Division of Transition of Care at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children. "When a child is diagnosed with a genetic condition, the parents are often given a lot of information to absorb, with the assumption that the child hears and retains this information, too," said Cory Nourie, MSS, MLSP, the Nemours program's social work coordinator. "The reality is that teens and young adults have many questions about their genetic condition, particularly around family planning, and do not know where to turn for accurate information. The videos are designed to help arm young adults with knowledge about how to reach out to providers for a frank and personal discussion. Empowering young adults to be health literate and informed consumers of health care is the aim of these videos, delivered in an easy-to-understand format."
Please share these videos with young adults, teachers, health care providers and anyone else who may benefit from the information. As part of the Impact Award, we ask viewers to click on the link in the video description to answer a short four-question survey about the videos' impact and use.
The two Impact Award videos were created as supplements to four previously released videos, funded by NYMAC, and released in December 2013.

(CBS/AP) CAIRO - Amnesty International has called on Egyptian authorities to investigate reports of sexual assaults on women protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square in order to end impunity for repeated attacks.
The London-based rights group said Monday women are singled out by mobs for sexual harassment and assaults in the epicenter of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak last year. The group said the attacks are an attempt to intimidate women and prevent them from participating in public life.
In the face of a rise in violent attacks on women, activists organized a rally Friday to demand an end to the harassment. A group of men attacked the rally, groping women, tearing their clothes off and robbing them despite attempts by men to fend them off. Amnesty said authorities never investigated the attacks.
From the ferocity of the assault, some of the victims said it appeared to have been an organized attempt to drive women out of demonstrations and trample on the pro-democracy protest movement.
The attack follows smaller scale assaults on women this week in Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak to step down last year. Thousands have been gathering in the square this week in protests over a variety of issues - mainly over worries that presidential elections this month will secure the continued rule by elements of Mubarak's regime backed by the ruling military.
Friday's march was called to demand an end to sexual assaults. Around 50 women participated, surrounded by a larger group of male supporters who joined to hands to form a protective ring around them. The protesters carried posters saying, "The people want to cut the hand of the sexual harasser," and chanted, "The Egyptian girl says it loudly, harassment is barbaric."
After the marchers entered a crowded corner of the square, a group of men waded into the women, heckling them and groping them. The male supporters tried to fend them off, and it turned into a melee involving a mob of hundreds.
The marchers tried to flee while the attackers chased them and male supporters tried to protect them. But the attackers persisted, cornering several women against a metal sidewalk railing, including an Associated Press reporter, shoving their hands down their clothes and trying to grab their bags. The male supporters fought back, swinging belts and fists and throwing water.
Eventually, the women were able to reach refuge in a nearby building with the mob still outside until they finally got out to safety.
"After what I saw and heard today. I am furious at so many things. Why beat a girl and strip her off? Why?" wrote Sally Zohney, one of the organizers of the event on Twitter.
The persistence of the attack raised the belief of many that it was intentional, though who orchestrated it was unclear.
Mariam Abdel-Shahid, a 25 year-old cinema student who took part in the march, said "sexual harassment will only take us backward."
"This is pressure on the woman to return home," she said.
Ahmed Mansour, a 22 year-old male medical student who took part in the march, said there are "people here trying to abuse the large number of women protesters who feel safe and secure. Some people think it is targeted to make women hate coming here."
"I am here to take a position and to object to this obscene act in society," he said.
Assaults on women Tahrir have been a demoralizing turn for Egypt's protest movement.
During the 18-day uprising against Mubarak last year, women say they briefly experienced a "new Egypt," with none of the harassment that is common in Cairo's streets taking place in Tahrir. Women participated in the anti-Mubarak uprising as leading activists, protesters, medics and even fighters to ward off attacks by security agents or affiliated thugs. They have continued the role during the frequent protests over the past 15 months against the military, which took power after Mubarak's fall on Feb. 11, 2011.
But women have also been targeted, both by mobs and by military and security forces in crackdowns, a practice commonly used by Mubarak security against protesters. Lara Logan, a U.S. correspondent for CBS television, was sexually assaulted by a frenzied mob in Tahrir on the day Mubarak stepped down, when hundreds of thousands of Egyptians came to the square to celebrate.
In a defining image of the post-Mubarak state violence against women, troops dispersing a December protest in Tahrir were captured on video stripping a woman's top off down to her blue bra and stomping with their boots on her chest, as other troops pulled her by the arms across the ground.
In contrast, the small size of Friday's march could reflect the vulnerability and insecurity many feel in the square, which was packed with thousands of mostly young men by nightfall Friday. Twenty rights groups signed on to support the stand and hundreds more vowed to take part, according to the Facebook page where organizers publicized the event, but only around 50 women participated.
Sexual harassment of women, including against those who wear the Islamic headscarf or even cover their face, is common in the streets of Cairo. A 2008 report by the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights says two-thirds of women in Egypt experienced sexual harassment on a daily basis. A string of mass assaults on women in 2006 during the Muslim feast following the holy month of Ramadan prompted police to increase the number of patrols to combat it but legislation providing punishment was never passed.
"Women activists are at the core of the revolution," Hawary said. "They are the courage of this movement. If you break them, you break the spirit of the revolution."


Design thinking has come a long way since my days at IDEO back in the early '90s when the mere mention of the word "design" saw most technologists and non-designers frowning their brow with skepticism.
What was design thinking before it was design thinking?
Back then, this process wasn't called design thinking. In fact, it didn't have a name at all. It was simply what you did when you gathered together a bunch of creative professionals (like engineers and industrial designers) who were experts at making things, and had them collaborate with another bunch of creative professionals (like psychologists and human factors experts) who focused on understanding human experience.
Teach a person to fish and you… gain an enthusiastic fishing buddy!
Today, those familiar with design thinking may understand how the practice of observation is central to its process. However, in those early IDEO days, we spent a lot of time justifying it to clients. They didn't see why we needed to go out on "observations" to gain inspiration. Weren't we supposed to be the beacon of inspiration? Couldn't we just think about it and come up with some new solutions?
We knew that if a picture is worth a thousand words, an experience is ten times more valuable than that. And we realized we had to start bringing clients along on our innovation journey.
So, we invited them to join us on observations to see the things people actually do out in the world. We asked them to immerse themselves in the experience they wished to create. And we showed them how to discover opportunities and get inspired by asking questions and staying open to all possibilities.
Those fears proved to be unfounded. It turned out that sharing the process with our clients simply made them better clients. And having them take the innovation journey with us allowed them to appreciate our unique approach and expertise even more.
Those results were compelling. And in 2012, some former IDEO colleagues and I decided we wanted to focus our efforts on guiding companies through the process of applying, learning, and adopting design thinking. And with that, our company Innovationship was born.
At Innovationship, we believe the most effective method of teaching design thinking is through immersion, iteration, and guided mastery. And we focus on the integration of learning over time, through ongoing coaching and mentoring.
Through our work, we've helped startups, midsize firms, multinationals, and academic institutions around the world bring this essential process into their organizations. We've worked with teams at Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Juniper Networks, Kaiser Permanente, PepsiCo (Shanghai), UCLA Andersen School of Management, UTEC (Lima), Wedgewood, and many others to help them adopt a design thinking — and doing — mindset.
Design thinking is for doers.
These days, the once unnamed process of design thinking has become almost synonymous with innovation. Yet for people who haven't experienced this human-centered, collaborative, and creative process, the name "design thinking" itself can be a bit misleading.
"How exactly do designers think?" is one question I get all too often, usually after mentioning that I teach design thinking.
It's a fair question. At face value, the phrase design thinking perhaps conjures an image of a group of designer-types (black shirts, unusual wrist watches, unique shoes) with thoughtful looks on their faces, sitting around a table, perhaps sketching with pencils, pondering possible solutions for an abstract aesthetic problem.
But anyone who has had hands-on experience with the process knows that the scenario described above couldn't be further from the truth. Because design thinking is actually all about doing. It's about taking action — observing, brainstorming, prototyping — as a way for thinking through a challenge or solving a problem. It's thinking by doing.
Getting into the right mindset (and bodyset!) is key.
Another way we talk about design thinking is to categorize it as a mindset, a lens through which to look at challenges and discover opportunities in the world. Although, this, too, can be misleading.
In reality, design thinking is not only a mindset but also a bodyset. Because it's not enough to perceive information and process thoughts — one must be able to act upon the learnings and insights gained from all of that thinking. And those actions require specific skills — whether drawing from the flow of an experience, building a cardboard prototype, authoring a presentation, or going out to do one more observation — you must continually do stuff to keep moving forward through the creative process.
By doing, we generate more opportunities to gather new information, which in turn affects our thinking, then informs our subsequent actions, and the cycle continues.
We use the word "design" to describe this magical cycle of thinking and doing, this mindset and bodyset, but people also use it as an umbrella term that serves to cover all of the specific attributes of an object or a space, like shape, color, size, placement, etc.
Next time someone says, "I love that design!" ask them what specifically they love. Have them describe the elements they admire, like the shape and color of a car, or the way a restaurant has arranged and decorated its interior.
Then remind them that someone designed those specific elements. Someone spent many hours shaping that car, and they probably tried hundreds of variations before that one was chosen. Someone sketched hundreds of restaurant interiors, then arranged and rearranged those ideas before bringing it into reality. Design is doing.
People will also praise a service like an online purchase or a process like a training program, and those too are the result of design by doing, if less often recognized as such.
Ongoing innovation doesn't have to be elusive.
When it comes to ongoing innovation, there is no substitute for doing — to actively create something new all the time, be it a story or sketch, a set of insights from interviews or observations, a presentation that captures your latest thinking, or a prototype to test your newest idea.
Thoughtless doing wastes time and resources, so be clear about your intentions as you jump into action. But remember that your action will generate new information, provide feedback and insights, and help move your thinking along.
Keep the mindset of a doer and the bodyset of a thinker — balance thinking and doing in a perpetual cycle that keeps your creative journey unfolding, evolving, and growing to produce unexpected results.

Q: Sequence contains no elements - no info in stack trace Getting an error in my (at this stage) simple c# MVC3 (Razor) application, and I can't seem to find out what is causing the error below.
[InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements]
   System.Linq.Enumerable.Last(IEnumerable`1 source) +4188046
   RouteDebug.RouteDebuggerHttpModule.OnBeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) +78
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +148
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +75

this is all I get, no line numbers, no nothing.
I've tried putting breakpoints in various locations in the code, including the application_start sectin of Global.asax.cs, but these never get hit, the program just immediately bombs out with the stack trace as soon as i start debugging.
The structure of the application is as follows:
[Application.Core]
+Properties
+Reference
+Controllers
+Helpers
+Models
+AdminAreaRegistration.cs
+Global.asax.cs
[Application.Tests]
[Application.UI]
+Properties
+References
+App_Data
+Areas
    +Admin
        +Views
+Assets (css/js/images)
+Views

I've tried a few suggestions already, including adding the Application.Core namespace to the AdminAreaRegistration.cs file, and removing obj/bin and rebuilding.
I just can't see whats causing the problem.
Update
AdminAreaRegistration.cs
using System.Web.Mvc;

namespace Application.Core
{
    public class AdminAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
    {
        public override string AreaName
        {
            get
            {
                return "Admin";
            }
        }

        public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
        {
            context.MapRoute(
                "Admin_default",
                "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                new {controller = "Page", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }
    }
}

Global.asax.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;

namespace Application.Core
{
    // Note: For instructions on enabling IIS6 or IIS7 classic mode,
    // visit http://go.microsoft.com/?LinkId=9394801

    public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
    {
        public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
        {
            filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
        }

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Page", action = "Homepage", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );

        }

        protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

            RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }
    }
}

A: Glancing at RouteDebugger in reflector, the offending code is:
private static void OnBeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (RouteTable.Routes.Last<RouteBase>() != DebugRoute.Singleton)
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.Add(DebugRoute.Singleton);
    }
}

So: it sounds like somehow you have no routes. However, I would also wonder whether this module should actually use LastOrDefault, or basically cope better with this scenario.
Have you ensured that you have the current and up-to-date version of RouteDebugger ?
As for why you have no routes: maybe the pipeline is running in a different order now? First thing to do: remove that module and see if everything else works. If the site works fine minus that module, then ask Phil about it.

A: It's caused my calling the extension method Last() on a collection that has no elements, or calling Last(expression) on a collection that has no matching elements.
I would do a search through my code to try and identify where you have used this kind of calls. (just do a search in entire solution)
My best guess is that you have put this logic directly into one of your views, and not in the controller.

Jak and Daxter take a trip to another world, dragging Graham and Paul along.
haha, nice guys, good work as always! Keep on Busing (spelling?) "I'll Get you Gadget!!!"
shameless plug: you can see paul RIGHT now on www.desertbus.org its for the children!
"I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME GADGET." Win.
Indeed. You all should go over there now.
I loved Jak 2. I cheered when I saw it up.
Very cool unskippable, loved the "Meanwhile in Ratchet & Clank" I'm glad I'm not the only one that connected these two series.
Interesting, I recently picked up the first three Jak & Daxter games. Playing the second right after the first makes the dark overhaul especially silly.
EDIT: Also, was expecting a Protoss joke instead of the Inspector Gadget reference.
And mothers everywhere regret buying the cartoony game.
Haha! Loved the game and love the work on this cut scene. Dead-on on the rails around testing area comment. It's become a staple of villains to never use railings where appropriate.
yes slowly...just like that. WIN.
Impressive that they found time to make this with the whole bus thing going on.
very good guys, certainly not as good as your Ace Combat 6 or Star Ocean but by no means bad! (it's hard to mock something that is meant to be dumb) I was always was a Ratchet and Clank fan...would love to see you do an episode with the opening scene of R&C 1...couldn't skip them the first time through and there's like three 3 minute cut scenes too lol. Anyway back to the point, love the show, loved the episode, take care gentleman and good luck with Dessert Bus!
One of the best games the PS2 ever put out.
Well I would've made several Stargate references, but good work anyway guys.
Very amused. Great job guys.
"Jak: the missing link between Crash and Nathan Drake." Perfect line to go out on. Good job!
So the Precursors built a Stargate h-uh?
Sheesh, I coulda told you being within close proximity of Daxter will invoke a berserker rage in anyone. But does anyone listen to me?
And now they're in the esophagus...OF TIME.
Good one this week, guys.
I love Jak 1, 2 and 3 the other spin-offs like Jak X and such is just bad compared to this shiny jewel.
I couldn't tell which of you two did the, Dr. Claw impression (I think it was Graham) but that was awesome. That basically means you can also sound like every character Frank Welker has ever voiced...and that's alot of voices.
That's about it from me. See you guys next week!
Nothing like hearing the great voice of Clancy Brown as an overgrown rodent with a giant moustache.
I guess that can count as the link between Crash Bandicoot and Jak II?
Wow it took him two years to rescue Jak. Remind me never to count on Daxter if I'm ever captured...or for anything.
I gotta admit, I joined the Escapist purely for Zero Punctuation, but Unskippable is legendary.
The Escapist - Come for ZP, stay for Unskippable. And pie.
Probably my favorite game of all time. I did an obligatory fist bump when I saw it was up. Great video, too.
Woo! This review takes me back to the PS2 era when myself and a friend played the Jak games (only 2 and 3 for some unknown reason) Absolutely THE best PS2 games ever! Great show guys!
I honestly pissed myself when I saw Jak 2. Good work guys, best one yet! Oh and thanks for taking me back to the old PS2.
You stole my heart with the Inspector Gadget reference.
Man I haven't heard an Inspector Gadget joke in AGES! Made my day. THanks guys.
That intro video to Jak II was a bit of a slap in the face after all the time spent in Jak I. It's like, hey, good job in the last game. Your reward? 2 years of torture! I actually tuned out a bit from the Unskippable jokes because I was a little too involved in remembering that. Jak 2 was a pretty cool game, though - it did Sandbox well and early after GTA 3 made it seem like a good way to go.


Today the African American Policy Forum, the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies at Columbia University and Andrea Ritchie, Soros Justice Fellow and expert on policing of women and LGBT people of color released #SayHerName: Toward a Gender Inclusive Analysis of State Violence, a document highlighting stories of Black women who have been killed by police and shining a light on gender and sexuality specific forms of police brutality often experienced by Black women such as sexual assault, police violence against pregnant and mothering women, and police abuse of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender nonconforming Black women.
The report's release is timed to support mobilization for a National Day of Action on Black Women and Girls called by Black Youth Project 100, Ferguson Action, and #BlackLivesMatter on May 21st. It is intended to serve as a resource for the media, organizers, researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to better understand and address Black women's experiences of profiling and policing.
What follows is an introduction to the report by co-author Andrea J. Ritchie.
#Say Her Name draws, builds, and expands on the cases, themes and analysis of a body of work beginning with Anannya Bhatacharjee's groundbreaking 2001 report Whose Safety? Women and the Violence of Law Enforcement and the Audre Lorde Project's groundbreaking work and analysis of police violence against women and LGBT people of color, through the writings and organizing tools published by INCITE! over the past decade in The Color of Violence: The INCITE! Anthology and Law Enforcement Violence Against Women of Color and Trans People of Color: A Critical Intersection of Gender and State Violence, to the publication of Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States in 2011 and Beth Richie's Arrested Justice: Black Women, Violence, and America's Prison Nation in 2012.
It is also informed by a long legacy of efforts to lift up Black women's experiences of police and state violence dating from Harriet Jacobs' (writing as Linda Brent) harrowing accounts of the abuses of enslaved African descended women by slave patrols, to Ida B. Wells' documentation of lynchings of Black women along with Black men, to Angela Y. Davis' calls for attention to physical and sexual violence against Black women by law enforcement agents from the Civil Rights movement to the present, to a report published in the mid 80s documenting police brutality against Black women in New York City described by Joy James.
Over the past two decades this body of work has surfaced the experiences of Black women and women of color with racial profiling and police abuses, and identified contexts and trends in the nature and quality of the police interactions that have driven the mass incarceration of Black women and women of color. It has described the operation of controlling narratives theorized by Black feminist scholars such as Patricia Hill Collins in Black women's encounters with police, and offered critical recommendations for ensuring that the names of Black women killed, brutalized, and abused by police never again go unsaid.
In conversations about racial profiling, we have continued to raise the reality that racial disparities in stops, searches and arrests are the same for women as they are for men, and that racial profiling of women of color, including queer and transgender women of color, takes gender specific and sexuality-specific forms, based on stereotypes rooted in slavery and colonialism, in the context of the war on drugs, the policing of motherhood, and the enforcement of prostitution and trafficking laws.
We have emphasized that Black women and women of color's experiences of racial profiling and police brutality are not aberrations or distractions from the central conversation, which features cisgender, heterosexual Black men and men of color as the prime protagonists, but rather are central to our understanding of the impacts of policing on our communities, and to the solutions we pursue.
And we have insisted that Black women and women of color can no longer be expected to lead movements challenging police brutality but be silent about our experiences, or be boxed into a frame that only allows us to be grieving mothers, sisters, partners of men of color or collateral damage in attacks on them. We are saying, once and for all, that we are, and forever have been, targets of state violence in our own right, and our experiences must inform the demands of the marches we organize and the movements we lead.
Bringing the experiences of Black women to the center of conversations around profiling and policing reveals that gender and sexuality represent central axes around which policing takes place, in conjunction with – and in service of, race and poverty-based policing. In other words, racialized gender-based violence by law enforcement officers is fundamental to the institution of policing itself.
The present moment offers opportunities to go beyond saying that police brutality happens to Black women too and naming the specific ways racialized state violence is visited upon us. It calls on us to engage in organizing and advocacy that is both gender inclusive and gender specific. What does it change to bring these voices and experiences from the margin to the center? How does it shape our actions, our demands, our visions for the future?
Recommendations for addressing discriminatory policing of women of color made to the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing by over 75 organizations and individuals – from organizers to academics to lawyers to anti-violence advocates – represent the beginnings of an agenda for policy reform rooted in the realities of Black women's interactions with police and specific to our experiences. The Task Force's adoption of several of key recommendations in its final report released earlier this week has created opportunities to begin the process of more systematically documenting Black women's experiences of policing, preventing the specific forms of discriminatory policing they endure, and offering meaningful remedies that address intersectional experiences of police profiling, discrimination and abuse more holistically.
The present moment also offers opportunities to go beyond data collection, policy reform and systemic remedies to ask ourselves what Black women's experiences of policing mean for the solutions to violence we envision or pursue – whether we are talking about domestic violence, sexual assault, or trafficking in persons. Does reliance on police to investigate and address violence ultimately hold the promise of increased safety for Black women given the ways in which the criminal legal system is constructed around policing of racialized notions of gender?
It also begs the question of how our communities must be transformed in order to ensure that the experiences, voices, and visions of Black women and women of color – queer and not queer, trans and not trans – are inextricably interwoven into our analysis of state violence and of structural racism. That question is the one we now hold, and which points to the road ahead. Only then will we be able to truly ensure individual and collective safety and justice for everyone in our communities.
Andrea J. Ritchie is a Black lesbian police misconduct attorney and organizer who has engaged in extensive research, writing, litigation, organizing and advocacy on profiling, policing, and physical and sexual violence by law enforcement agents against women, girls and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people of color in over the past two decades. She the co-author with Joey Mogul and Kay Whitlock, of Queer (In)Justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States. Currently, she is a Soros Justice Fellow whose work focuses on profiling and policing of women of color. In January 2014, Andrea was The Feminist Wire's featured Feminist We Love during Tanisha C. Ford and Hakima Abbas' co-cureated and co-edited Mass Incarceration and the Prison-Industrial Complex in honor of and featuring Mumia Abu-Jamal forum.

Szlamica – struga w Puszczy Augustowskiej, jest zachodnim dorzeczem jeziora Szlamy.

Szlamica przepływa przez jeziora: Głębokie oraz Szlamy i wpada do rzeki Marychy na Białorusi. W owej rzece jedynie wiosną można łowić wędrowne płocie, szczupaki i jazie.
Latem dolny odcinek rzeki przejmuje we władanie roślinność zanurzona, co praktycznie uniemożliwia wędkowanie. W połowie odcinka między jeziorem Szlamy a ujściem do Marychy położona jest wioska Kalety.
