Analogy for what the Raspberry Pi is trying to achieve

Re: Analogy for what the Raspberry Pi is trying to achieve
I was reading the TechRadar article on Raspberry Pi and it uses the following Royal Society quote to explain computer teaching in schools.
"we appear to have succeeded in making many people comfortable with using the technology that we find around us, but this seems to have been at the expense of failing to provide a deeper understanding of the rigorous academic subject of computer science."
Kind of long winded so I got to thinking and as I like to work by example I thought an analogy woudl be a good way to explain the purpose of the Raspberry Pi.
So, for me:
if woodwork was thought the same way computers is thought the classes would be all about how to sit on chairs and sleep in beds. Raspberry Pi is about teaching to make chairs and beds.
Have you a better way of explaining the way computers is thought in schools and how the Raspberry Pi initiative (not just the device) is hoping to change it.

Cars is another good analogy
We all know how to drive them
But no-one knows how to build one or repair one from composite bits or make it do more interesting things - unless you're a restorer or garage mechanic
Or Movies - we all will sit and watch a good movie, but have no clue how to create one, except as far as waving our Smartphones around at concerts and wotnot capturing random blurred moving pictures

One I thought of a while ago…
"If Maths lessons were taught the way ICT lessons are currently taught they would consist of learning how to enter 58008 into your calculator and turn it upside-down"
OK, so thats more about the current state of ICT rather than what the Raspberry Pi is about...
"If PE was taught the same way ICT is, it would be about sitting and watching sport on TV, the Raspberry Pi is about getting up and playing the game."

ICT lessons are like trying to teach someone to brew great ale by giving them a can of Fosters.

During an interview Eben had with ITV the reporter made a good analogy:
It is like being able to read but not to write.

ICT lessons nowadays are all about databases, excel, or publisher. How that is going to help someone who wishes to pursue a career in computer science or just as a hobby is completely beyond me...
Toby said:
ha ha, I like that one.
I think (wrt reading vs writing) it is very much like being taught to read but not write, but it goes further than that. In literature lessons you read a range of books, by a variety of authors, you are taught to analyse them, compare them, understand the different styles of writing etc. You write short essays about them, you write your own stories to demonstrate an understanding of the mechanisms and styles involved in telling a tale, of communicating.

ICT is like climbing a mountain by being carried on the shoulders of a Sherpa. You go at his pace, take the route he chooses, and at the end of it all you've not really achieved anything yourself. You have memories and photographs, but not bragging rights.
Raspberry Pi lets you develop your mental fitness, so you can learn to climb the mountain yourself. You can choose a more interesting route to solve a problem or even go in an entirely new direction, and at the end you get to say "this is MY work".
The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it.
Good game - I want to play! Can someone tell me which school's ICT Scheme of Work we are basing this on, because I'm really keen to get started!
I know that you've all read the UK DfE's statutory programme of study for ICT plus various of Schemes of work, and perhaps even talked to actual ICT teachers (because it would be impossible to make these analogies and comparisons otherwise) - so a link to the school's site or their SoW would be really helpful, thanks! (It's hard to believe, I know, but I have heard (shocking!) that some people's understanding of teaching in general, and teaching of ICT in particular, comes via the Daily Mail et al. I know for a fact that the free thinkers on these forums would not find that remotely acceptable.)

Personally, my opinion is based on having two children currently finishing off their GCSE ICT courses (and a wife who is a teacher). They have done some amazing things over the past 5 years, such as produce powerpoint slides, write business emails and use MS Movie Maker to make short YouTube clips. In my opinion none of what they have undertaken in ICT belongs in its own subject, it is the kind of technology usage that belongs in every other lesson, or, at most, in a 'general studies' section.
Teaching kids how to write a 'business' email does not belong in a technology course, it belongs in (imo) english language, that is where the 'communication' part of ICT belongs. As far as the 'information' components - compiling results of surveys in excel or access - we did the equivalent of that in Maths (statistics) or even Geography (when studying things like population).

I have never read the UK DFE's "statutory program" but I do have a daughter who recently completed GCSE ICT at a good school with recognition for computing.
She has used computers from the age of 3 and had her own Apple laptop for several years and is very smart. However, I had a school report that, while every other subject was good, ICT was U (uncomplete/fail) with an expected grade of A*.
Her poor grade was due to fact that she was bored in ICT because it was mainly "data entry". Following this report she spent one week of hard work (lunchtimes and after school) and raised her grade to A. The fact that she could raise her grade to A after a week of spare time work is scary.
Whatever the "guidelines", the situation in the classroom is certainly not good.
As for an analogy - using the Raspberry PI is like learning to play a musical instrument rather than listen to downloads.
Yeah that was the one I heard too which I liked too.
Things like making movies and building cars, not everyone could or needs to do that, but technology is so embedded (in both senses) in todays world, having generations of children who can only use it but not make it i(or even start to understand it) is scary.
The similar one I heard was difference between driving a car or sitting in the passenger seat, ...how often would you let a hitch-hikers blindfold you and drive you to where ever they wanted? [ok..some people my enjoy such things...but still]
The scary thing is, we invite 1000s of unknown drivers to drive our computers and gadgets everyday without even thinking.

My daughter did GCSE Geography. One thing they taught her to do was to put in lots of pretty pie-charts and bar-graphs and such like. Content appeared to be unimportant, just so long as it was pretty. Seems to be the same as ICT, which is "never mind the content, use powerpoint to make it pretty"
Bonus marks for animated powerpoint...double bouns marks for swooshing sounds too.

how often would you let a hitch-hikers blindfold you and drive you to where ever they wanted?
Every time I drive through Glasgow, I get lost.
One time I got lost it was because a hitch-hiker was directing me not the way I wanted to go, but the way that led past his front door. So yes, other than actually giving up my seat, I've done that. Whether I'd do it again is anther matter
Burngate said:
Haha, I remember this from my own geography GCSE in 1996, you've jogged a latent memory! Whatever it was, it had to have a graph. All but the tecchiest students were still doing them by hand at this point, but Power point's influence was obviously creeping in even 16 years ago.
The "Read but can't write" analogy is beautiful; concise and accurate.
tomyates said:

They're not. The media perpetuates this straw man because their reporters haven't actually been inside a school for thirty years.
How that is going to help someone who wishes to pursue a career in computer science or just as a hobby is completely beyond me...
It won't. But then that's not the intention!

from what people are posting in this thread.. it sounds like the analogy is more like..
raspberry pi is going to force people to become mechanics, even if they only want to drive a car.
there *is* a place for teaching people to "drive" excel, power point without them having to learn more. and IMO suggesting that "other" subjects like geography are the place for that is highly hypocritical.
however, there should be some kind of exposure to something deeper, and more importantly opportunitiesto do things like learn to progam.
ict – for learning drive – basic computer user skills.
compsci – for putting together pcs, programming and the like – with lashings of rpi.
i know i"d have taken compsci > ict or possibly even both.
at school i had trouble picking subjects that engaged me and added more sciences and languages to keep me entertained.. the bbc micros were locked away in some kind of vault and only brought out around twice in the 5 years i was there from what i recall. (from 87->92). if there had been a computer class, or club i"d have been all over it.
then again with music – the music teacher looked down on me when i enquired about how/where to get piano lessons "i don"t think so". 20+ years later i'm doing it on my own (but with the guitar). so it does depend upon who's supporting it on the front-line.
i was interested in computers but didnt have opportunities to learn or properly engage with them other than as a user until i was older. its this kickstart into exploration and programming that i feel is important as im sure there were kids in a similar position to me who fell through the cracks and didnt get the opportunity i took when it arose.
so to me, the analogy of exposure to something otherwise unavailable at that age is more like that of being shown the way into pandora's box. like being shown behind the curtain that an oracle in ancient greece is actually a high priest controlled spectacle.

Are there any ICT teachers on this forum who can give us "the view from the coal face" as it were?
I gave up my School Governor's position a couple of years ago so I can't just go and ask the ICT Head of Dept anymore...

I understand what you are saying with regards to not pushing into other subjects, which is why I said that perhaps it should be in with something equivalent to general studies. My reasoning behind saying things like compiling spreadsheets, presentations, documents and emails should be in other subjects is because they are the modern equivalents of what I remember doing in those subjects.
In my opinion none of what they have undertaken in ICT belongs in its own subject, it is the kind of technology usage that belongs in every other lesson, or, at most, in a "general studies" section.
Cross curricular ICT is a great idea (using ICT in other subjects is, in fact, a statutory requirement in all compulsory subjects (except PE ). The reason that cross curricular ICT as a replacement for dicrete ICT lessons is rarely seen is that it doesn't work. It doesn't work because most teachers do not have the necessary skills to teach it.
That's right – most teachers do not have very good ICT skills. Shocking, I know! (If you think I'm overstating this, ask ten non-ICT teachers how to landscape only part of a document; or how to make a line graph in Excel; or how to add an adjustment layer in Photoshop; or what the Internet and Web are.)
You may be wondering why, generally, teachers are not much good at ICT when by law they have to pass the Training Agency's ICT skills test. Here's why. (Though in fairness the test still gives them better basic skills than most longer serving teachers, who do not have to demonstrate any level of competency. And often don't.).
Of course there may be good reasons for a teacher not learning new ICT skills: workload; lack of CPD (training); lack of support from departments or senior management; lack of resources etc etc. But it still doesn't justify writing everything in Comic Sans. Or underlining. Now I've depressed myself

If you're not happy with the performance of your unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 cell phone device then maybe it is time that you considered a change or two. Most of the time people get bored with the restrictions of their phones and think that the best solution would be replacing them. However, if you just replace your mobile phone unit and buy a new one on the same terms and conditions signed and sealed in the contract you made with the carrier then the restrictions are not very likely to disappear.
You obviously need a different approach to that problem. Your mobile phone is fine, it works fine and it looks fine. You don't have to buy a new one and spend more money on mobile phone gear and equipment. All you need to do is find a solution that can enhance the performance of your cell phone device and will minimize the restrictions.
Although, this may sound too complicated and too unrealistic it is neither of those things. As long as you have the right tool any problem can be solved with ease.
If you're looking for a way to remove the restrictions off your Samsung Galaxy S6 the solution is right here. It is in a form of a software application tool that can be downloaded from this page for free. You are looking for the Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool.
WHAT IS THE Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool?
This is an application that can be installed on any computer, laptop or tablet. It doesn't require special settings or updated operative systems. It works fine in literary any conditions.
As a software application tool, once you download it and install it you can use it remotely, no matter where you are or what you do.
The Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool takes the IMEI code of your Samsung Galaxy S6 along with other routine details and gives you a code in return with which you can erase the negative aspects of your mobile phone's working.
Your LG G3 mobile phone had all those restriction you thought it had because it was locked. Now, the Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool will provide you with the key that will fit the lock perfectly and will enable you to unlock it.
As I said before, you will need the Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool on your computer. And you will also need to open the Unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 Tool and enter the required details. After that you hit the unlock option and wait for the code. The code will be sent to you in approximately 10 minus after you have hit the unlock button.
Once the code is in your hands you need to enter it in your Samsung Galaxy S6 cell phone device. To do so you must enter a SIM card that wasn't previously supported by your Samsung Galaxy S6. When you do this there will be a request for an unlock code. This you already possess. Enter it carefully and press ok. Now your Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone is unlocked and the restrictions that once were, no longer are.

The Rescue of Ishanga
News Updates The Rescue of Ishanga
On Wednesday, the 17th November, we received a call from our Ziwani desnaring team leader, Nicodemus, about an orphaned elephant calf that the team, along with KWS rangers, had rescued
On Wednesday, the 17th November, we received a call from our Ziwani desnaring team leader, Nicodemus, about an orphaned elephant calf that the team, along with KWS rangers, had rescued. The Ziwani team operates in the southern sector of Tsavo West National Park, and in recent months this area has experienced an increase in elephant poaching. In recent months we have received a number of orphans from this area, Makireti, Murka, Salaita and now our latest arrival Ishanga. We named her Ishanga, after the area where she was found. (Another name for the area more commonly known as Maktau.)
Ishanga was rescued literally from the jaws of death. Not only was her condition very poor, as she had obviously been without Mum for many days, but just as the team who had sighted her all alone during a routine patrol, circled to capture her, a lion leapt out of the undergrowth and grabbed the vulnerable elephant baby by the neck. This most unexpected twist to the rescue caused enormous panic, but in the scramble the KWS ranger was able to fire gun shots into the air, and very fortunately the lion let go of its prey. The calf was now injured, and paralyzed by fear, so the team members (themselves pretty shaken) were able to restrain her quite easily having ensured the encircling lions were now a safe distance away.
She was driven to the Maktau airstrip in the Ziwani antipoaching team landrover, where the team waited with the baby until the rescue plane and Nairobi Keepers landed. She was immediately prepared for the flight, and after an hour long plane ride, brought straight to the Nairobi Nursery. Initially she was extremely wild and did not let anyone close, not even to take water or milk. But with gentle and tender company throughout the night she succumbed to her hunger and eventually took both milk and water by bottle from the Keeper in the early morning hours of the next day. As is so often the case with starvation victims, once she started taking in food she collapsed in a shivering state, and that all too familiar dread crept over us all as we wondered whether the events of the past week had proved too much for her. But after injections of Selenium, Vitamin B12 and being on an intravenous drip for two hours, she eventually struggled back to her feet much to everyone's delight. That afternoon, despite being so weak, we bought the other orphans to her stockade and they all enveloped her with love and fueled a will to Live. She left the confines of the stockades following them into the bush, and instinctively the orphans knew not to venture too far afield. This whole experience seemed to do the trick. The next morning she joined the group, and was eveb part of the midday mudbath, and despite the visiting public, surrounded by the others she seemed totally calm.
With her wounds now almost completely healed, Ishanga is one of the greediest babies we have, insatiable for milk. She has worked out the milk routine and literally climbs into the wheel barrow carrying the 3 hourly milk rations in an attempt to get her bottles first. She is desperately thin, and despite her many new Nursery friends still misses her lost family terribly. She suffers from nightmares, but we feel sure that with the passage of time she will learn to find true happiness again thanks to the love and attention from her Keepers and the other Nursery orphans.
Fate truly intervened in Ishanga's case; her destiny is to live a full and happy life.

Marilyn and the Jews
Posted on February 1, 2022 February 1, 2022 by Curator Bot
Taggedcommunist, israel, jewish, nationalist
MARILYN MONROE is one of many Gentile actors who fell under the dominance of a string of Jewish psychoanalysts, including, most famously, Ralph Greenson (born: Romeo Greenschpoon) who was her therapist when she allegedly committed suicide. "Like many of his colleagues at the time," notes a review of Donald Spoto's biography of Marilyn, "Greenson relied heavily on drug therapy for his patients, routinely prescribing barbiturates and tranquilizers or having patients' other doctors do so. He referred Marilyn to [Jewish] internist Hyman Engelberg, who prescribed many of the medications Greenson ordered for her … Her friends noticed that the more Marilyn saw Greenson, the more miserable she became … Greenson encouraged Marilyn's deep dependency on him (he was seeing her twice daily)" ( Good Housekeeping , 1993, pp. 212, 214). Ralph Greenson The incestuous nature of Hollywood life may be observed in Greenson's case: his sister Elizabeth was married to Milton 'Mickey' Rudin, a Jewish entertainment attorney who was one of the town's major powerbrokers. Rudin was Monroe's lawyer.
Marilyn's publicist, Arthur Jacobs, was also Jewish. So were her agents at MCA, Jay Kanter and Mort Viner. Many of the directors of her films were Jews (for example, Billy Wilder of Some Like It Hot and George Cukor of Let's Make Love ). Natasha Lytess, her personal manager and the subject of speculation about Monroe's rumored lesbianism, was Jewish, from Austria. Their relationship, says Barbara Leaming, was "mutually exploitive" (Leaming, 31). Milton Greene, a Jewish fashion photographer "with whom she'd reportedly had a fling during the late forties," was another early personal manager. Natasha Lytess and Marilyn on the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes . Monroe had resolved to sleep with anyone who could help her attain fame and fortune in Jewish-dominated Hollywood. Close friend Ted Jordan notes that she had "sex with anybody she thought might be able to advance her career" (Jordan, 121). "It is clear," says Anthony Summers in his biography, "that Marilyn made judicious use of her favors. A key beneficiary was the [Jewish] man who got Marilyn that vital first contract at Fox — Ben Lyon. According to writer Sheila Graham, Lyon had been sleeping with Marilyn and promising to further her career … Lyon called the casting director for Sol Wurtzel, a [Jewish] B-movie producer of the time [and Monroe was awarded a small part in the 1947 film Dangerous Years ]" (Summers, 35).
In olden times," Upton Sinclair once remarked, "Jewish traders sold Christian girls into concubinage and into prostitution, and even today they display the same activity in the same field in southern California where I live." Or as F. Scott Fitzgerald summed up the Hollywood scene of his era — "a Jewish holiday, a Gentile tragedy" (Gabler, 2).
Garment millionaire Henry Rosenfeld was another Jewish sex partner on Marilyn's road to fame. "She would join Rosenfeld at his home in Atlantic City for trips in his speedboat and for quiet evenings of talk and laughter" (Summers, 45). Jewish mobster Bugsy Siegel, himself a Hollywood powerbroker, also slept with her (Jordan, 84, 87). Ted Jordan (born Edward Friedman) even wrote a book about his early sexual experiences with Monroe — they began on his fourth date with her when she was 17. Then known by her real name, Norma Jean, Monroe was soon sleeping with Friedman's uncle, Ted Lewis (original name also Friedman), who, "with his clarinet and distinctive style of old favorites, was among the hottest acts in show business" (Jordan, 73). It was Lewis who introduced the then-unknown model to narcotics.
"I learned," says Jordan, "that at one point in their little backstage meeting, Ted had slipped Norma Jean a piece of paper with his telephone number on it. Soon they were meeting in hotel rooms whenever Ted was in town … Soon he was pulling strings for Norma Jean, trying to hook her up with an agent who would do her the most good … As Norma Jean had vowed to me, whoever she had to fuck, she was prepared to do it. And, for good measure, she did the same with [prominent Jewish gossip columnist] Walter Winchell" (Jordan, 75).
Early in Monroe's career as a struggling actress, the Jewish head of Columbia, Harry Cohn, invited her to an overnight cruise on his yacht. Monroe was required to strip naked for Cohn in his office. As she bent over, at his direction, he approached her, penis in hand. When she declined his advances, said Monroe, "I had never seen a man so angry" (Jordan, 91; Wolfe, 211-212). Cohn then "banned her from the [Columbia] lot after she refused to accompany him on a yacht to Catalina Island" (Leaming, 8). "You know," Monroe once said, "that when a producer calls an actress into his office to discuss a script that isn't all he has in mind … I've slept with producers. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't" (Summers, 34-35). In 1955, 20th Century Fox awarded Monroe the richest per-film contract of any actress. "It means," remarked Monroe, "I'll never have to suck another cock again!" (McDougal, 217).
The network of Jewish men that controls Hollywood has always been characterized by an intense sexual fixation on the shiksa — shiksa being a derogatory slur for a Gentile woman, literally signifying "unclean animal" according to its Yiddish etymology. Hence the ubiquitous "casting couch," a Hollywood institution that provided Jewish powerbrokers access to otherwise unavailable non-Jewish women, whom they despised as non-Jews yet idealized as avatars of alien sexual desirability. The shiksa thus became the ultimate sexual trophy. The Jews who ruled Hollywood, noted Hollywood rabbi Edgar Magnin, "were men who made all that money and realized they were still a bunch of Goddamned Jews. Sleeping with a pretty gentile girl made them feel, if only for a few minutes, 'I'm half gentile.' No wonder they made idols out of shiksa goddesses." [Image: Marilyn in 1951.]
A key agent in accelerating Monroe's early career was Johnny Hyde (like many Hollywood Jews, born in Russia, and a veteran […]

Brachiospongia is a highly-distinctive fossil sponge. It is a glass sponge, a member of Class Hexactinellida. Glass sponges make a skeleton consisting of a network of opaline siliceous spicules (SiO2·nH2O). They occur in deep-water ocean environments today but occupied shallow water marine facies during the Paleozoic. All fossil and living hexactinellid sponges are sessile, benthic filter-feeding organisms. Brachiospongia has an unusually-shaped skeleton consisting of a cup-like structure with a series of six to twelve, bent finger-like extensions.
Brachiospongia digitata (Owen, 1858) (top view) from the Bigby Limestone (Trenton Group, upper Middle Ordovician (sensu traditio)) at Bridgeport, Kentucky, USA (FMNH P59, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA).

At a high school, one of the most important events for the student body is the football games and pep rallies. This fosters school spirit and unity, and makes people more supportive of each other. Saee Joshi emphasized the importance of Centennial's school spirit.
"I don't want to look back on my high school [after graduation] and see a place," Joshi said. "I don't want to remember it like that. I want to see the memories."
She also recalls the clubs and organizations at Centennial.
"I see people coming together in clubs as a family," Joshi states.
Her little brother goes to Curtsinger Elementary. She recalls how he talks to her about Centennial, the admiration for the "big kids" showing clearly.
"He came home one day and told us about one of their pep rallies, where all the elementary students chanted, 'CHS! CHS!,'" she remembers. "I don't think many people here have the same kind of school spirit he does."
That is the kind of school spirit she envisions, one that will help bring unity and camaraderie to the students.

Colombia: Left in the Cold? The ELN and Colombia's Peace Talks
Source: International Crisis Group © 2014
Bringing the National Liberation Army (ELN) into the current round of negotiations is vital for durable peace.
In its latest report, Left in the Cold? The ELN and Colombia's Peace Talks, the International Crisis Group examines the opportunities for talks between Bogotá and the National Liberation Army (ELN). As the Havana-based peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Colombia's largest guerrilla group, look increasingly promising, pressure is growing to open a separate, but coordinated, negotiation with the ELN. Yet getting there is proving difficult. The ELN thinks the government needs to make an overture or risk ongoing conflict; the government believes the ELN must show flexibility or risk being left out. But delay is in neither's long-term interest. They should open negotiations soonest.
The report's major findings and recommendations are:
Although weakened, the ELN is not close to defeat. Stronger involvement in the drug economy and illegal mining has helped it resist military pressure and even begin a tentative recovery.
Postponing negotiations with the ELN until after a deal with FARC has been reached might appear attractive but would not be prudent, as continuation of the conflict would then risk undermining implementation of a possible FARC deal.
Even more than the government, the ELN has an interest in engaging in talks soon. Failure to do so would expose the organisation to escalating military operations, growing pressure to adhere to outcomes reached only with FARC and ever fewer possibilities to negotiate issues beyond the terms of its own demobilisation.
ELN demands for a wide agenda and broad social participation in talks are at odds with the Havana template's narrow and confidential focus. Nonetheless, common ground exists, and an agenda focusing on transitional justice, political participation and (the ELN's core grievance) exploitation of natural resources should not be beyond reach.
"How the ELN handles this situation will shape more than its own path. Continuing and potentially intensifying warfare in ELN strongholds would above all be a tragedy for communities that have already suffered decades of violence", says Christian Voelkel, Crisis Group's Colombia/Andes Analyst. "And without the second insurgency on board, the government's stated goal of ending the conflict would remain elusive".
"While both sides have incentives to move expeditiously to formal negotiations, the way forward will not be easy", says Javier Ciurlizza, Crisis Group's Latin America Program Director. "Audacity, creativity and pragmatism are needed from all if the ELN is not to miss what could be its last chance to exit gracefully from armed conflict, and Colombia is to seize its chance of achieving sustainable peace".

Today I won't go to the gym. I won't teach any classes but I will practice yoga. I am about to leave for my two year follow-up MRI from my cancer surgery. This is only a follow-up and part of the process of being placed in remission. However the thought of an MRI is filled with past memories. The MRI was how the cancer was finally detected. It's a solitary experience as you are pushed into the tube, left alone with only your thoughts and the distant calling out of the operator to take a deep breath and hold. Every time I have had a MRI the operators have told me I am very good at holding still and holding my breath. Yoga is how I do it. I pull myself into a cocoon, silence the world and put my mind into a meditative state. It's as if time stands still.
Am I a bit anxious? You bet I am! Last time the nurse mistakenly hit an artery and with blood spurting all over the place I passed out cold on the floor. When I woke up a nurse standing over me and ready to call the emergency service. These kinds of memories sure can make one anxious the next time you encounter the same situation.
So my doctor prescribed Ativan. Once in the machine and under the influence of ativan I was relaxed. A couple of times I almost fell asleep. Time drifted by slowly without a lot of thought. I just laid still encapsulated in a nonchalant time machine capturing images of my pelvis and abdominal area. It only took about one hour and then I was released back into the world. I walked out into the sunshine that to me was a haze that looked out upon a slow moving world. But I was moving slow too. It all seemed so real and so passive. Everything was gentle, soft and flowing. I smiled as I noticed how different my perspective had become. A small pill made my world seem placid and muted and I drifted away without any emotions or caring. I just existed in a state of passiveness with no pleasure and no pain. Everything became dull and muted with just the drop of a tiny pill. I am sitting quietly contemplating this state of being and now anxiously waiting a return to the vibrant perspective of a world not clouded with allopathic drugs. I appreciate the coming clarity to my brain. Observing without judgment.
We measure our success by the number of fans we have, the amount of money we make, where we live, what we do, what we drive and the money we have in the bank. But sometimes success is measured by our failures. About a year ago I had an idea for a new exercise class. I put the class together, found an open time slot to teach and taught the class for 4 weeks. It bombed! The idea was good and everyone liked the concept but it lacked structure. One month ago I taught a segment of the new and revised version of this class and it was a success. My success came from my failure and because I taught the class to the same group of peole who took this class a year ago, I knew I was getting good feedback. They loved it and asked for more.
The moral of the story is; had I of given up and went out in defeat I would not have developed my new class. Instead I realized that it was not a failure but simply something wrong with my plan. So I set about to restructure my idea into a new plan and this time it looks like it's going to work. There are no failures just plans that need to be restructured. Each time it appears you have failed just revise your plan and go at it again. Thinks about this: - how many times did it take Edison to get it right?
It's interesting how my ability to make things happen is sharpening itself again. With a little projection and a lot of concentrated energy the pieces of my plan are falling into place. It's a skill. It's an ability to focus and then release my desires without attachment and wait for the right time and the right opportunity to arise. It's about being unperturbed by rejection and disappointment with the full realization that the time and the situation is not right for me at this time.
This week I'm shooting my video for my new exercise class. I have the crew, the facility, the trademark, the concept and the program all organized and ready to go. Last minute details like clothes, food, storyboards, contracts, releases and hair, make-up and nails are all that are left to do. And then we spend the unglamorous and long full day of shooting over and over to get it right. It's a lot of hard work but I will stay to task and get the job done.
Here's how it works. I need to give up two yoga classes because the facility where I teach is rundown and the company does not care. I am losing students because the room is filthy. My students have asked me to open my own studio but I just could not find the right situation. I told a lot of people that I was looking and that I would open a studio when I found the right place. In my mind I formed the right time, place and situation. My step daughter in-law asked me about teaching yoga for her employees. I told her I was looking for studio space. She went to her husband's high school reunion and sat next to a young woman who owned a Pilates studio, was looking for a cycle/yoga instructor and had studio space to sublet. I am looking for a new cycle/yoga class and studio space. She introduced us.
The space is not going to work for my purpose; however it made me think about another space and another way to solve my problem. Every path you follow whether successful or not always lead to another opportunity if you keep your eyes and your mind open.
Yesterday I did my new video exercise class for my yoga ball students. They loved it and encouraged me to make the video. These people are the best support. They inspire me to reach beyond myself and create. They give me energy. It's funny how they all tell me that I motivate them. They tell me I say just the right words at the right time to make their day. I am calming, balancing and centered. But they give me so much more. Everyone I have met through my many years of teaching has been a source of inspiration that spurred me on even when I felt tired, sick, sad, lonely and discouraged. And yes I do feel these emotions and experience hard times. I'm just like everyone else. I cry, I laugh, I love and I get sick. When I was diagnosed with cancer, my students stood by me and sent me words and thoughts of good health. They even arranged a group prayer for me even though I am not religious. When I shared with them recently that I had hit the two year mark of post cancer surgery without incident, they cheered me on. Teachers and especially exercise teachers get paid very little for their time. We do it because we love doing it. Our reward is the smiles, the changes we make and the times when someone tells you that what you said or what you did made a difference in their life. Rewards in life are not always monetary. Some time they are subtle and come disguised in the good fortune of meeting and interacting with wonderful people. So as I continue onward, writing my book, producing my new exercise program and creating my nectars I thank all of you for inspiring me to take the leap. Stay tuned and follow me through this journey and I promise you the secret to inner balance will be revealed. Oh and the book is scheduled for publication in August with the video coming out in July. Sign up for my free newsletter at www.doctorlynn.com so I can stay in touch. Follow me on Face book at Doctor Lynn and on twitter.
Tuesday I met with a photographer who was refereed by my marketing consultant who happens to be just right for me and really gets what I'm doing. It's amazing how when you get the energy moving things happen. These days I'm crazy busy running from one appointment or project to another. The next six weeks are crucial to bringing all the pieces together. Anne the photographer is doing a photo shoot for my website, book and exercise video. We connected immediately. One thing I've learned about filming is that the object and the artist must connect for there to be something beyond the ordinary. As an artist whatever your medium when the energy connects creativity moves to a higher level. Here is a flow of energy that takes over your body-mind and moves you into the moment. You experience that moment of complete connection in the here and now.
Yesterday I had lunch with a friend that I have not seen for over six months. She used to come to my yoga class until she got really busy with a new and exciting job. She is a business woman with a strong marketing sense. We laughed, cried and shared even though we are different. I am the artist and she is the strong business woman. Her life like mine has been one of struggle as a single mother raising two children. We both have such a strong sense of independence and self reliance. We both are in second marriages and struggle with the nuances of these marriages. She gets it when I roll my eyes and talk about the difficulties of ex's, children, adjustment, money, careers, friends, family and how very different it is from the early days when you first get married, start a life and build a family. How naïve we are to think it will all be simple. I shared with her the essence of my book and as I knew she would, she supported my work. She understands that I am doing this from a labor of love and a need to create and express. Lunch was too short. We could have talked for hours. Women…we never run out of things to say!
Today I am going to test out my exercise routine. I'm shooting the video that goes with the book next Wednesday. Fortunately for me I have a great group of people who will let me rehearse my routine in my yoga classes. I connect with my classes. Why? Because I care and I give with passion. I love what I do and the people I meet. I meet the most interesting people in my 8 plus classes I teach each week. I learn so much from them. I motivate them and they inspire me. It's early in the morning and I must go over my routine so that I have it locked into my head before I go to class. Practice makes perfect… so it has been said. Add a little focus, passion and belief, and you have the magic to make things happen.
My days are so full with writing my book, and now eight days away from filming the exercise video that compliments the book. I came up with the idea for the video about two months ago. Now I've done videos before and they cost a lot of money. This time my budget was almost zilch. So I posted an add on Craig's list for student interns who wanted to do a filming project. The response was overwhelming. Not just students but professional camera people who were between jobs and wanted something fun and easy to add to their resume. I met with John, camera man /director who happened to have all the equipment we needed and then signed on two interns. Lucky for me I live in a building with a beautiful function room which will work great for the video and is mine to use for free. The cost to me is the food and extras for the shoot. I do intend to give each person some money as a show of appreciation. As well I will list John as the director and camera man on the credits and give him permission to show my video as part of his work. I'm also giving the interns credit on the video which will give them something tangible to put on their resumes. Now all I have to do is spend the next eight days getting my routine down, get an outfit to wear, buy lunch and snacks and make it a fun day for everyone. If I told you I used a little magic to make this all happen you might think me a bit mad. But when you read my book, which will be published in August 2010 you'll understand what I mean.
Over twenty-five years ago someone gave me a book which I still have in my possession. It is tattered and worn but extremely valuable to me. The title is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The main premise of the book is that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to as long as you follow the thirteen basic principles outlined in the book. One of the basic principles is to start where you are no matter what and implement your plan even if it doesn't make any sense or you really don't know where you are going.
Twenty-five year ago I knew I had something to do but I wasn't really sure what it was. So I took the first step and traversed a long and tough road but with each step I accumulated knowledge and experience which has served me well. It brought me to this place in my life. Looking back I can see how each goal that I accomplished was but a building block and although they did not always appear to be compatible, all the various journeys of my life led me here. The bits and pieces of my life all seem to be bound by a common thread…and in finding this common thread it all seems to make sense.
All dreams begin with a burning desire. Without desire nothing happens. It is the ability to hang onto that desire through all sorts of hard and discouraging times, which separate the winners from the losers. Dreams are not realized through laziness, indifference and lack of ambition.
As I spend the endless hours writing my book and developing my projects I do pass through those moments where I ask myself why I am working so hard. I don't need to work. I could become the stereotypical Beverly Hills Housewife with nothing to do but shop and get my hair and nails done. I could kick back, travel and ideal away the time. But something in me is driven to accomplish my creative goals. It's a burning desire.
I've been disappointed, rejected, abused, mocked, discouraged and broke. But deep inside there has always been a burning desire that no amount of failure could extinguish. I've always believed that the only failure is when you lose the desire and pack away your dreams.
My book may not make it to the best seller and it may get rejected by the publishers but I have a backup plan and fully intend to see my dream become a reality. Success I have found is not the end result but all the tiny steps along the way. It's the little steps that are the essence of life.
There was a miner who worked a mine for several years. He spent all his money and still nothing happened. One day he sold the mine to another person. The next person dug for one foot and struck gold. The first miner stopped just one foot from finding his fortune. In my journey through life I have learned one thing. When you have exhausted all your money and all your energy, just make one more call, take one more step, and move forward just one more foot. Never give up just one foot from the "goal".

Our Industrial Pellets are manufactured in Nova Scotia where the mill has the capacity to produce approximately 120,000 tons per year.
Our pellets are made from sustainably managed forests and all the raw material received at the mill goes through a comprehensive screening process to ensure the quality of the fiber is in compliance with our high standard quality.
The great fiber basket in the region allows for a high quality industrial wood pellet grade that offers above average BTU's (energy or heating value) while still generating clean and renewable energy.
This clean and sustainable biomass is shipped in bulk vessels of different sizes to service some of the largest Power Plants in Europe.
Strategically located - about 80kms away from the Port of Halifax, a deep water port located in the Atlantic - Scotia Atlantic Biomass is the natural supplier to the European market.
Viridis Energy is increasing its presence to the industrial market working closely with major Power Plants to substitute the use of fossil fuels for wood pellets. Wood Biomass can largely be used to substitute the use of coal - a higher pollutant to the atmosphere - providing high energy value while protecting the environment.
European nations have adopted aggressive and mandatory new regulation targets for 2020. Several countries have already implemented additional regulations that are designed to displace coal based Power Plants. Existing coal-fired infrastructure can be fully converted to the use of wood pellets and that is a great benefit.
Our company is engaging more and more in projects to expand biomass use in larger scale servicing public institutions such as schools, small districts, smart neighborhood, using biomass as the main source of heating. These projects are under development and we expect to be able to make a positive impact in our communities.


The Mueller report into suspected collusion between Donald Trump and Russia doesn't conclude that the president dedicated a criminal offense, but in addition doesn't exonerate him.
Based on the chairman of the US Home judiciary committee, Jerry Nadler, the report "is placing issues squarely in Congress' court docket".
Particular counsel Robert Mueller has spent nearly two years analyzing Russian interference within the 2016 presidential election.
His investigation has not discovered that the Trump marketing campaign or its related "conspired or coordinated" with Russia, in keeping with a letter despatched to Congress which summarises the findings.
The letter by the US Legal professional Common, William Barr, advises Congress of the "principal conclusions" of the investigation.

Take a superstore full of crazy nutritional advice, and shove it all into the biggest pot you can find. Simmer gently for months, skimming the scum off the top occasionally. Finally, reduce until you have only the best, most trustworthy claims left. What's left? The world's healthiest meal.
That's pretty much the recipe that the Leatherhead Food Research group followed in order to sort the good nutritional research from the bad. They whittled down thousands of nutritional studies until they were left with just 222 that were judged to be most scientifically convincing.
It certainly sounds healthy, and the researchers can argue that every single ingredient present is there for a reason: from Omega 3 fish oils which are good for cholesterol, through protein for muscle mass, to walnuts which "contribute to the improvement of the elasticity of blood vessels".

Gesture Ninja
Time to join the Prof and Brian again as they hunt down games that cost less than your cappuccino. This week's 'Cost of a Coffee' game is Gesture Ninja.
Prof. Kelvin Harris | June 16, 2014 | Posted in Cost of a Coffee, iOS | No comments
Have you ever wanted to take out a ninja with a one fingered punch? This week's 'Cost of a Coffee' game is Gesture Ninja.
http://media.blubrry.com/costofacoffee/p/www.codecmoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/COAC-GESNIN.mp3
"Hello, I'm Professor Kelvin Harris, the resident scientist here at CodecMoments.com and this bumbling simpleton is my lab assistant, Brian."
"Together we've been tasked to identify games that you can enjoy for less than the cost of your daily cappuccino and with good reason too; some people seem reluctant to spend a few pound on a mobile game yet every hour in the United Kingdom we spend over £100,000 on coffee, which is enough to pay for 5 years of ninja training in Japan."
"I love ninjas Professor! Sometimes I dress up in my pyjamas and sneak about in the dark."
"Because they are black cotton Brian?"
"No, because they have the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles on them."
"Of course they do… Why wouldn't they? This week's game for the 'Cost of a Coffee' is Gesture Ninja on iOS. Gesture Ninja is a rhythm action beat 'em up developed by Miklos Kekkoi, who provided us with an unsolicited review copy of a game where you take on the role of a stick figure ninja and that's about it terms of plot. You swipe and tap to strike your enemies and the number of hits required to defeat them, is indicated by the colour of your sticky foe. According to the tutorial you can change into any one of four different martial arts stances, but it doesn't however give any explanation as to why you might want to do that. The aim of the game is to survive as long as you can. The game is graphically simplistic, sometimes the taps and swipes didn't quite register as they were meant to, it's got nothing going on in the way of plot or subtext and the sound consists of three different kiai noises."
"Is it worth the 'Cost of a Coffee' Professor?"
"Well the game costs 69 pence, which is babyccino territory Brian, but the frothy milk beverage is certainly more relaxing than the hit and miss hits and kicks
"Is that it Professor? Seems a bit short this week."
"Not really much else to say Brian. Why don't you talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a minute to fill time?"
"Well there's 4 of them Professor and they have a giant rat for a boss which is mint and one of them is Liquid Snake off of Metal Gear Solid. Their main bad guy is an alien brain called Krang and he has a mate called Shredder and a mutant warthog and rhino whose names are Bebop and Rocksteady, but I don't remember which is which."
"That'll do pig, that'll do. 'Cost of a Coffee' is a production of Codec Moments."
"For more information, or if you can recommend a game that costs less than a cappuccino, please visit codecmoments.com or e-mail prof@codecmoments.com. You can also tweet us @CodecMoments or Facebook and Google+ us."
"See you next time."
The Good: There are 3 different kiah noises and 4 different stances.
The Bad: There are only 3 different kiah noises and no-one seems to know what the stances do…
