Have you been cleaning with dirty tools? The common products you use to clean also need to be cleaned and sanitized regularly to be more effective and last longer. Here are some tips on proper cleaning procedures for the most popular cleaning tools.
It depends on the type of bristles on your broom to know what kind of cleaning will be best. Make sure to always remove the particles from the bristles after use and shake off the dust. If your broom won't be damaged by water, you can let it soak in a bucket of warm water with a mild cleaning solution such as dish soap. Hang it to dry afterwards for a few hours and make sure it's completely dry before next use.
Most mop heads are machine washable. Use hot water and either a mild detergent or bleach for extra sanitization. Tumble dry on low or let it hang to air dry. If your mop head is not detachable, rinse it with hot water and soak it with a disinfecting solution for 30 minutes. Let it completely dry before use. Make sure to store your mop in a dry, cool place to avoid the growth of bacteria.
After each use, buckets should be poured out and rinsed with a disinfecting solution. Allow them to completely dry before storing to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.
Most rags and towels can be tossed in the washing machine on their own with hot water. You may want to add bleach or white vinegar for an added disinfectant. Avoid using fabric softener.
Sponges retain a lot of bacteria if not properly cleaned often. They are also extremely easy to clean. You can either run them through the dishwasher on the top shelf with the hottest setting or place your wet sponges in the microwave on high for two minutes. Let the sponges cool before removing and make sure to dry the sponges after the cleaning cycles. It's also important to store your sponges in a cool, dry place to prevent bacteria growth.
Always make sure to look up any specific instructions from the manufacturer of your products first before starting any upkeep work. Putting time aside to properly clean your supplies and equipment will not only extend the life of your products, it will also ensure you are providing your clients a top notch, germ-free clean environment.


With startups popping up all over the U.S., here is how to make the most of your local community.
But that isn't necessarily the case. What seems like a startup utopia also has its downsides, including talent wars, high cost of living and a massive echo chamber. Plus, there are obviously companies outside of Silicon Valley -- and ones that are a huge success. MailChimp, Sprout Social and Sling TV are just a few big names and up-and-comers.
With the recent Rise of the Rest tour -- a road trip designed to celebrate entrepreneurship across the U.S. -- wrapping up, we asked a few leaders in entrepreneurial hubs around the U.S. what advice they have for founders looking to succeed outside of Silicon Valley.
Don't be afraid to tackle any niche. Put all your chips in the middle of the table, put your head down and work hard. There's no reason to hesitate just because you aren't in Silicon Valley.
Don't just work in your city -- work with your city. Local government may not seem like the likeliest partner for innovators, but I've seen great things happen when entrepreneurs and policy makers are at the same table. Not only are leaders in the civic sector great cheerleaders for startup successes – they're also advocates when it comes to navigating bureaucracy or regulatory environments that many entrepreneurs encounter. And inside City Hall, we stand to benefit greatly from the ideas of innovators and disrupters in our community.
Step up to the role.
My advice for all entrepreneurs is to focus on developing leadership skills where you learn how to value all of the perspectives of the members of your team, create high-performing cultures and form an attitude that embraces transparency and collaboration.
Build a company, service or a thing, because you want to see how it will advance how we live, work or move, and because it's something you want the world to have in it. Hustle. Be fearless. And become a master learner capable of learning anything, anywhere, at any time.

Q: If Tensor Product of Two Finitely Generated Modules Over a Local Ring is Zero then one of the Modules is Zero Let $R$ be a local ring (commutative with identity) ans $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules.

If $M\otimes_R N=0$, then $M=0$ or $N=0$.

The problem clearly seems to be an application of the Nakayama lemma. If we can show that $M=\mathfrak mM$ or $N=\mathfrak mN$, where $\mathfrak m$ is the unique maximal ideal of $M$, then by Nakayama we would have $M=0$ or $N=0$, for the Jacobson radical of $M$ is nothing but $\mathfrak m$ itself.
I am unable to figure out what to do.

A: $$M\otimes_RN=0\Rightarrow M\otimes_RN\otimes_RR/m=0\Rightarrow M\otimes_RN/mN=0\Rightarrow (M\otimes_RR/m)\otimes_{R/m}N/mN=0\Rightarrow M/mM\otimes_{R/m}N/mN=0$$

El dosel arbóreo, dosel forestal o techo es el hábitat formado por las copas de los árboles de un bosque.

Es un factor ecológico importante, ya que limita la cantidad de luz que alcanza los hábitats que se encuentran bajo él, y condiciona el reparto del agua de precipitación hacia el suelo. Como consecuencia, los suelos de la selva y de los bosques densos tienen, considerablemente, una menor cantidad de vegetación que el resto de las capas del bosque.

Para medir su densidad se utiliza el índice de área foliar.

When Nixon's mum Brodie was 32 weeks pregnant, doctors noticed a large lump on her baby's head during a routine ultrasound.
No diagnosis could be made without a biopsy, so the mum-to-be was transferred to The Children's Hospital at Westmead immediately for close monitoring, and just over a week later, little Nixon was born. Brodie and her husband Nick were devastated when tests on their newborn showed he had a malignant tumour the size of an adult fi st growing on the side of his head.
Nixon was just one week old when he underwent a biopsy. The surgery was risky, as he could bleed out due to the invasive procedure his tiny body would endure. While the five-hour surgery was a success, it would be an agonising week-long wait before mum and dad received the results. When the biopsy results came back, they confirmed the family's worst fear: Nixon was diagnosed with cancer. It was an extremely rare type of tumour known as a rhabdoid tumour. A few days later, at just two and a half weeks old, Nixon started chemotherapy.
After a couple of rounds of chemotherapy, to the relief of his family, his tumour started to shrink. Following four rounds of chemotherapy and at four months of age, Nixon had surgery to remove what was left of the tumour. He completed his fi nal six rounds of chemotherapy by January 2016 when he was declared NED (no evidence of disease). Since his operation to remove the tumour, Nixon has undergone numerous procedures to graft skin and heal his wound. These surgeries are ongoing.


The Waterloo Cycling Club Trails Committee (WCCTC) recognizes that every rider shares a passion for the Hydrocut mountain bike trails. We want to celebrate our past and present by creating a documentary film of how the trails came to be.

LONDON - Wasteless, an Israeli firm seeking to reduce food waste and save consumers money, won $2 million in funding Tuesday, as more businesses seek to cut food losses amid rising global hunger.
The two-year-old firm sells software to supermarkets so that they can manage their stocks and reduce food prices as shelf life dwindles, reducing waste and boosting profits.
'We inspire customers to be better citizens of the world and to take part in the war against food waste, while at the same time enjoying better prices,' Ben Biron, one of the founders of Wasteless, said in a statement.
Food waste is increasingly viewed as unethical, as well as environmentally destructive, dumped in landfills where it rots, releasing greenhouse gases, while fuel, water and energy needed to grow, store and carry it is wasted.
A growing number of impact investors - who aim to bring social or environmental change as well as making a profit - are putting their money into businesses responding to political and consumer pressures to address climate change and waste.
Globally, one third of all food produced - worth $1 trillion - is binned every year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, and researchers fear annual food waste could rise by a third to 2.1 billion tons by 2030.
World leaders pledged to halve food waste by then under the sustainable development goals set by the United Nations in 2015.
Wasteless said it will use the investment from Slingshot Ventures, a Dutch venture capital firm, to focus on West European food retailers.
In a trial with a Spanish food retailer earlier this year, Wasteless said its algorithm, which allows customers to choose between older or fresher food at different prices, cut food waste by a third and increased revenue by 6 percent.
Many experts say changing business practices and consumer behavior, rather than giving away excess food, is key to reducing waste.
'There isn't any more land or any more water. One of the things that has to happen is the food that is grown has to get eaten,' Oliver Wyncoll, a partner at Bridges Fund Management, a U.K.-based impact investor, told Reuters.

Unlike Salsoul, the West End sound did not rely on lush orchestration but offered a much more stripped down groove-led sound which worked in the nightclub environment even at lower tempos (see Taana Gardner's club classic 'Heartbeat' which barely breaks 100bpm). Much like Salsoul however, the label operated principally within the heyday of the disco movement in the late 1970s and post disco days of the early 80s and West End too experienced a resurgence of interest thanks to sampling, the label's music has been sampled by many of biggest names in Hip Hop and Dance music

Today I would like to discuss the installation of the hot tub and how it will affect your home's electrical system.
Just recently, I was called to a house in Ford's Colony in Williamsburg Virginia for an estimate to install a hot tub. Upon my arrival at the property, I started to ask a few questions of the homeowner and quickly realized that she did not fully understand what was required from the local authority, in order for her to successfully install a hot tub.
Hot tubs should always be installed by a licensed electrician and should always have a permit from the local authority to ensure correct installation. As well as the electrical permit, a building permit is required for the installation especially if it is to sit on some kind of structure i.e. a deck or raised engineered floor. This involves having drawings made up and signed by an engineer. The engineer will calculate the correct size of lumber that will be able to support the weight of the hot tub. Unfortunately my customer in Ford's Colony had had her son build a very low level deck for the hot tub. Regrettably, I was not able to proceed with her job, as I said I would only do it with an electrical permit. When the James City County inspector came to view the work and certify it had been done correctly, they would not pass it as there was no building permit for the job.
Hot tubs require quite a heavy electrical supply to run them, usually between 30 and 50 Amps. For most homes built within the last 30 years, the panel board and existing electrical are able to deal with this kind of demand. However, older homes may only have a 100 or 150 Amp service to the electrical panel, in which case the homeowner would be required by the electrician to have a new panel installed, in addition to the cost of the hot tub installation. There are also stringent safety codes that must be followed when installing a hot tub into a residential backyard. This is because of the increased electrical shock hazard that we encounter when we mix water and electricity together. Any metal framework that may be exposed i.e. hand railings for steps, or a stairwell from a deck, if it is metal and within 5 feet of the hot tub, it must be properly bonded.
So as you can see, the installation of a hot tub may sound like a simple procedure, but in reality it takes a lot more time and effective decision-making to have this process carried out properly.
British American Electric of Williamsburg, Virginia encourages you to call us at 757-707-0645 for free advice about this procedure. You can quickly get yourself into trouble as an uninformed homeowner. We would be happy to send a licensed electrician to your home and carry out a free estimate. We can advise you the safest and most cost-effective way to install your wonderful new hot tub. Please don't be fooled by the company that is selling the hot tub because they are merely interested in the sale, and unless you engage them to install the hot tub, they will not be worried about permits and how you go about this.

A Miracle
It is a story about a girl who is happy to go lucky until one accident changes her life.
A few years back a little baby girl came into this world. This little girl was one of the cutest children in the world. Her parents loved her very much. She was the apple of their eye. Her small little cries and her laughter was enjoyed by everyone.
She kept on mulling and puking everyday in the nursery but the nurses did not get fed up, they were happy because this was the sign of the good health of a baby. Now this little girl started to grow up. Her mother took a lot of care of her and fed her all sorts of nutritious things; her father bought her many types of rattles to play with. She started to walk at the age of one and spoke something at one and a half year.
She had a lovely big cot with angles, teddies and stars hanging above it and a soft lullaby getting played on pressing a button. Her maternal and paternal grandfather and grandmother also loved her very much as she was the youngest child in the family. Her elder brothers and sisters were also very fond of her. She was fond of making smiley face poses and getting her pictures clicked licking the mirror or climbing on her mom or in the lap of her relatives.
When she grew a little more she became an English speaking pampered brat who always roamed to different places in an aero plane. When someone spoke to her in Hindi she always replied in English as she understood Hindi but could not speak it. She started her journey in aero planes just when she was of about 2 months. Her favorite flights were KLM and Ethiopia and she kept on asking contradictory questions such as when will the flight move?
And when the plane started to move the question put up by her went like when will we reach now? Her mom read her stories from little ladybird storybooks and her dad cooked up stories and narrated them to her.
She had some very cute little things like a Mickey Mouse and a goofy bag which she always carried on her back and happily went to school. One of the loveliest things she had were her dresses. She had colorful, different types of dresses – red frocks, white skirts, floral pattern t-shirts, sweaters, shorts, t-shirts with tigger and pooh made on it and many more. She had bob cut hair which were always neatly tied into two ponies that jingled when she moved. On festivals she dressed up very nicely and enjoyed very much. Her birthdays were always celebrated with lots of pomp and show and with many friends around. Once her birthday cake had a beautiful Barbie doll with the purple clutches of Barbie on it. It was the most beautiful cake ever seen. Dance was not her cup of tea but on her parents insistence she participated in a dance show and was very proud of winning the participant certificate. She had a dream to travel to each and every part of the world. Kids playing world was her play school where she excelled in academics. After that in her primary school too she excelled in all the subjects. Her report card always consisted of A -grades and smileys, different types of stickers and good chits. But then one day came when her parents decided to shift back to India. She did not want to do that but she was helpless. She was 6 then. After coming back to India her admission procedures started. Everyone who took her interview was surprised to see her knowledge and praised her very much.
Finally her school started, new school, new friends; everything was very much unknown to her. Making friends was difficult because she was an introvert type of person.
Still she did it with the help of her teachers. At that time she was in first standard and she was the topper of her batch. Then came her little brother whom she never wanted to come. But she was still happy in her life; the things she missed were travelling in flights to long distances, her old friends and her home.
Till grade 6 she excelled in academics and had many good friends by now. But as it is said good thing surely come to an end, the same happened with her. Slowly as the time passed she had got used to her life, now she even had stopped speaking English and the skills which looked in built in her seemed to vanish from her life.
By now her brother also grew up and sibling rivalry started between them. Then came 7th standard and this was the time of her downfall. Now she did not get good marks. She was no more the apple of anyone's eye. This did hurt her very much and she was very upset. She tried her level best but still she could not succeed.
This ended her will power and she became an average student. At this point she started missing her old golden days. She wanted life to give her a chance to go back to those days. All the other years were filled up with misery and sorrow till the time when she came in high school. This time she was determined to do something to improve upon her grades. She tried to study hard and did that at her level best, in her exams too she put her best but nothing did happen. In the second term she knew that she had no choice but to surely do something to improve her grades.
Many people had hopes from her and if she did not excel this time then it would really be very difficult to come back to stability. This time she felt like god is too on a helping spree for her because she started to get chances to show her talents to everyone. Speaking on stage in the school assembly was what she wanted to do and she got a chance to do that.
She even got chances to participate in story writing competitions, Olympiads, plays and various other things. Now her confidence again started to come back. Now was the time to succeed. She became optimistic about life; no more negative thoughts were to come again. She started to live happily and as we all know that thought affect life, the same happened with her. She was able to concentrate more. She also was able to relax and enjoy when she spent family time with her close ones.
Everything started to be the same like before. Elated with her present she started to forget about her past and hoped that it would never repeat itself again. Though she never got to go back to the place she came from, she was still satisfied. She finished her school with very good marks and got admission in the college she wanted to go; her goal was half achieved. But happiness does not last for long and this is the fact. Once again her happy life came to an end.
This time it was very serious and a major accident that she had to face. Once while she was going back to her hostel, she slipped of the staircase and her left hand had a major injury which the doctors said could not be cured.
She now was left with just one single hand of hers. But this time she did not breakdown, she was strong. Instead she made her parents believe that she was fine and still she was capable of doing all the things that a normal person could do. She did not think that she was handicapped. Though everyone made fun of her, told her many things, but she did not mind.
She knew that the people whom she was truly loved by were always there beside her to support her. She continued her studies full fledgedly. She even took part in every activity that she did before. Her strong point was her voice which was capable to do all things, to give speeches, lectures, to take part in debates and even to sing. She was also a very good singer and liked to sing very much. In her college she started to give speeches and gradually she also went in other colleges to do the same. Her ignorance towards the comments given by the people became the reason for the people to stop teasing her. Once, she got a chance to audition to become the anchor of a popular TV show and not too surprisingly she even got the role to play.
This increased her self esteem more and everyone was proud of her. She became the idol for every handicapped child and this gave her happiness. She personally started to visit the schools, non government organizations for the handicapped. She encouraged people to help these people by donating their organs after their death and on the other hand she asked the disabled people not to lower their self esteem due to these disabilities.
She became popular everywhere not because of her disability, this was due to her confidence on herself that she could show everyone what she could do.
She was good and that was the reason that she was important and had a special place in many people's heart and not just because she was important. Whereas her brother whom she thought to be a devil Jwhen she was small proved to be her most trusted companion in the later stages. She won many competitions and awards for her speeches and her works towards humanity.
She even sang some songs related to the same. Doing this work she could also fulfill her own dream of travelling to all parts of the world. This one incident changed her life completely from a happy going girl to a conscious person who knew about the dreadful truths of the world and tried to bring people out of it. She was able to spread the light of happiness to many people in the world. If she moved according to her destiny, stayed in depression after the accident, all her talents would have been left in vain. But after the accident she became stronger and had gained more power due to all the positive thoughts she had before the accident. Maybe the little girl was truly a miracle sent by god to spread happiness in the world.

The rhythm guitar riffs in "Hoochie Coochie Man" introduce some of the most important and fundamental Blues Guitar techniques, such as call-and-response, muting, rhythmic syncopation, 12-bar-Blues, and more. Hope you enjoy it!
When you listen to Blues guitarists like Stevie Ray Vaughn or Johnny Winter, you can't help but appreciate the way they can blaze through a series of notes while somehow still retaining that Bluesy, Soulful feeling in their tone, phrasing, and articulation. But, when you are first learning how to solo over a Blues song, it can be really tricky to break into those quick runs, and not lose that feel.
To me, the secret to developing your own voice when soloing is by breaking your scales, patterns, and riffs into smaller, easily digestible sections. This way, you can apply and develop your own voice, inflections, and favorite techniques over small sections of the scale, and then learn to connect those sections once they are comfortable. Then, before you know it, you will be able to quickly nail those fast musical lines, not by practicing the whole scale or riff, but by mastering the sections and then linking them together.
In the following videos I explain how you can start with a scale diagram, break it down into playable patterns, and then break those patterns down into riffs and solos. In other words, I'll show you how to turn scales into your own unique Blues solos on the 3-String and 4-String!
Keep pickin' and don't forget to click "Follow" on this blog to stay in touch!
I've also created backing tracks for you to practice these techniques over on MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Check it out, and be sure to SUBSCRIBE to keep up with the latest!

Ronak, 19 Jul 2008Well, the x1i uses 7200a chipset while the x1a uses the 7201a chipset. The latter is the same ... morehi sone,,looks like we have got our question answered by Ronak...Thanks Ronak..
Sone, 19 Jul 2008What up Brynn I have a Q Is that 7201a chipset only in tha x1i or only in tha x1? PeaceWell, the x1i uses 7200a chipset while the x1a uses the 7201a chipset. The latter is the same as in htc diamond with max CIF/QVGA video recording capability. The 7200a chipset is the 1 with VGA capability. The reason for different chipsets is the lawsuit by broadcomm against qualcomm which restricts the use of qualcomm chipsets with VGA capability in the U.S. So, in short the U.S. version of xperia is less powerful than the international version. Refer to the white papers of xperia for further details.
Is that 7201a chipset only in tha x1i or only in tha x1?
Well I believe SE is responsible for their own actions over losing the annual sales targets, not making enough profit as they're still on the same old and fussy policy, not launching inovative handsets, kinds same style in all series of phones, UIQ is limited. There are so many shortfalls and long list of getting strategy wrong but I'm still waiting for X1 to buy one and hoping this flagship handset will play his role to bring the company to the shore.
Is this phone has dual core processor?
WOW! October? The HTC Touch Pro is already being released yet the X1 is only in October? Are SE realy planning to release it after all this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7514296.stm ?
Anonymous, 19 Jul 2008So that's why this phone doesn't get out, they fired their workers. Probably the fans may get ... moreWhat a ridiculous statement.SE commision HTC to produce a barnstorming device..commisioned the finest brains in america...informed handandgo of release date and software..spend millions in the process..know the market has shown great interest...know north america is crying out for such a device(symbian has 3percent share there) yet 6weeks before release you know SE are going to cancel the product...how silly can someone be?!!!!
Hebe Tian, 19 Jul 2008Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson on Friday posted a 97 percent drop in second-quarter earning ... moreSo that's why this phone doesn't get out, they fired their workers. Probably the fans may get the prototypes for low price if it will never be released. Sadly, WM and Qualcomm can't boost the phone industry; WM is too complex for businessmen and Qualcomm too slow for gamers.
What has market share got to do with this particular unit?!Nokia are a great manufacturer,they build many good devices and I say good on them but the xperia x1 offers more than any current nokia phone.If you can't see this then your ignorant or blinded by brand loyalty.I long for the day when the boys in here grow up!!!

Strange reading 1: Sulla and the satyr
Every now and then, you come across something in literature that makes you stop and wonder. If it's a 'classic' you're reading, often it's a distinctly odd passage no one in your experience ever seems to have commented on. Very occasionally, you get the eerie feeling you're the first reader in human history to really stumble across it – or at least realise its significance.
About two years ago, I read a Penguin Classics selection of Plutarch's Lives called 'Fall of the Roman Republic'. Plutarch lived from 46-120 CE, and was an ancient historian and moralist. I came across this bit about the patrician general, Sulla:
"After marching through Thessaly and Macedon, Sulla came down to the sea and prepared to cross over from Dyrrhachium to Brundisium with twelve hundred ships. Nearby is Apollonia, and near Apollonia is the Nymphaeum, a holy piece of ground with meadows and a green dell where at various points there spring up streams of perpetually flowing fire. Here, they say that a satyr, just like those represented by sculptor and painters, was caught while asleep and brought to Sulla. The satyr was asked through many interpreters who he was, but could scarcely speak at all and could certainly say nothing intelligible. He could only let out a harsh cry, something between the neighing of a horse and bleating of a goat. Sulla was horrified and ordered the creature to be taken out of his sight." (p86, trans. Rex Warner)
Plutarch then changes the subject – and never returns to it.
What to make of it? Sulla died in about 78 BCE; Plutarch didn't start writing until the end of the first century CE. And he wasn't always reliable (yet in his defence, there is his qualification, "they say that…"). He was mystically inclined by nature, and spent the last thirty years of his life as a priest at Delphi. (Still, that might make one expect a little more 'respect' – if that's the right word - for satyrs.)
Nevertheless, why is the story in there at all? It's very short, it doesn't cast much light on Sulla, nor apparently does it go anywhere. And if, as seems likely, it isn't true, then just who on earth made it up, and for what purpose? Because it is hugely different to just about all other stories about satyrs in classical literature. It leaves the reader with a distinct chill, a distant echo, perhaps, of Sulla's reported 'horror'.
And that may be the central point. There is a reason why readers are caught unaware by stories like this. Because no one in the modern world, present writer included, knows remotely what to make of them any more.
And of course, the number of possible rational explanations is overwhelming.

The Top 10 Worst People of the Week: Adam Lambert, Oprah, Jon Gosselin, and CBS
This is something new I'm going to start doing with the help of my new writers. The title is pretty self-explanatory, we'll just go through and name the top 10 worst people of the week and a little bit about why. This post will probably be posted on Saturdays, but seeing as this is Thanksgiving week and I'll be busy Saturday, we'll go ahead and do it tonight.
10. CBS- After CBS jumped at the opportunity to book Adam Lambert and be the shelter for the "kicked puppy", they blurred out the Lamber/Male keyboarder kiss, while not blurring out the Madonna/Britney kiss that was shown in the same slide set. I'm glad they blurred out the Lambert/Keyboarder kiss, but they should have been consistent and blurred both. Watch out folks, hypocrisy earns you a spot on my list.
9. Google- Go back in time a week, google image search Michelle Obama. What pops up? A monkey. True story. Google lands on the list because they removed the photo and the website from their searches. Don't get me wrong, I find blatant racial attacks to be despicable and unwarranted in today's society, but come on Google. There are MILLIONS of offensive images on the internet, why try and play police with this one? That image has been circulated to millions of American's by now, and this all making much ado about nothing. Everyone needs to quit being so dang sensitive.
8. Oprah Winfrey- Oprah started off great by announcing she was ending her tv show……… then she continued by saying it wouldn't be over until 2011. Geez Oprah, you got me all excited.
7. "President or Jihad" Billboard guy- Come on man, have some sense! Sure I'd love for B.O. to show us the birth certificate, but really? I'm not a member of the "AHH! HATE CRIME" group, I just think it's ignorant. I must say, it gave me a HUGE laugh when I first saw it though. For those who missed this story, read it here.
6. Climatologists dismissing the e-mails- No one can take responsibility for their actions anymore. 3 of the climatologists who were a part of the global warming e-mail scandal last week came out today saying that it was nothing but a smear campaign. When did "smear campaign" become the word of choice when trying to dodge a sticky situation?
5. Perez Hilton- The fact that I can't stand him aside, Perez really aggravated me on the AMA's. They gave him 10 seconds of screen time and he used it to say "I caught up with Derek Hough….. in the bathroom". Perez has a chronic case of pedestalitus; he can say whatever he wants, but the second anyone else steps up, cue the tears and Vlog.
4. Jon Gosselin- He's just a bully. His latest episode includes being a bully to his twins for preferring their mom over him. The two twins said they enjoyed being with their mom more, so Jon through them inside and wouldn't let the poor girls sell lemonade. I think he's just bitter that his 15 minutes are officially ovahhhh.
3. WikiLeaks- I've never heard of this website until today, but apparently they've discovered thousands of 9/11 texts and have released them to the internet. Why stir up memories with these messages, some of which were extremely personal and heartbreaking?
2. Keith Olbermann- Uhhhh…. He's just annoying.
1. Adam Lambert- I've never seen anyone more desperate for publicity in my life. I could tolerate him on Idol, but he took it too far at the AMA's and continues to take it too far as he does interviews throughout the week. Adam, you may not be "a babysitter", but that doesn't mean it's fair game for you to force simulated oral sex on some back-up dancer in front of 15 million people. You may think the the world is carrying out one big hate crime and discriminating against you, but I was just as appalled when Britney kissed Madonna. Save it for pay-per-view, not a show with a rating of TV-14.

AMA 2009: Carrie Underwood, Lady GaGa, Kelly Clarkson Continue to Impress
To vote in the AMA Performance Poll, click here.
Since I had nothing else to do tonight, I decided I'd watch the AMA's. That show made me realize just how well-done the CMA's. Anyway, this year's AMA's came across as more of a concert series than an awards show, since awards were given out in the 5 second transitions between performers. Here are the highlights (and lowlights):
Great:
Carrie Underwood delivered another knock-out performance of "Cowboy Casanova," this time with even more dancers. The vocals for this one were spot-on. This was probably the best overall performance she's given of this song so far. The general mediocrity of the majority of the other performers made her look even better than she did on her own merit.
Kelly Clarkson gave an outstanding rendition of "Already Gone" without all of the bells and whistles of the studio version. She reminds us all that she's still got it, despite less-than-stellar live performances in the past few years (see, "Never Again" live on AI).
The one and only Lady Gaga convinced me to look at her new album, The Fame Monster (in stores tomorrow), after wowing in her performance of "Bad Romance"/"Speechless." I'm thinking "Bad Romance" may have been at the very least partially lip-synced, but "Speechless" was the real deal and it was great. Not to mention Gaga is incredibly entertaining.
Alicia Keys shined during her two performances, both of which made up for her disappointingly bland lead-off single from her latest album.
Good/Okay:
The Black Eyed Peas performed an unrecognizable medley of their latest hits because apparently they've spent half a year at #1? On what chart? Regardless, that's a huge accomplishment. And while the whole performance came together as a bunch of noise and lights, Fergie still showed everyone that she can and does sing quite well. If only we could hook her up with another gig singing Heart covers (see, Idol Gives Back).
Former Idol-contestant Chris Daughtry performed his latest single "Life After You." I can't fault the vocals, but I can say it was incredibly boring and unmemorable. It's only been an hour since I watched and I have no idea what the song sounded like.
Life-long divas Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston delivered good performances (in comparison to their "norm") and Houston was honored with some international award accomplishment. I'm glad she's trying to turn things around.
Janet Jackson got the first ten minutes of the show to lip-sync and dance around sporadically. Could've used that ten minutes to allow the latest American Idol Kris Allen winner and the immensely talented teen star Demi Lovato to perform instead of reducing them to lowly presenters.
Perez Hilton was in attendance and was allowed to speak.
Taylor Swift once again sweeped all of her categories and gave acceptance speeches "live" from the UK. Doubt it. They were obviously pre-taped and Taylor acted surprised the whole time. I don't really think MJ deserved "Artist of the Year" more, but I certainly don't think he deserved it less. Gaga should have won it.
Green Day cracks and squeels through "21 Guns," causing me to wonder if and why people still listen to that crap.
And finally, the worst part of the night was Adam Lambert's atrocious and over-hyped show closing performance of "For Your Entertainment." Suggestive dance moves aside, the vocals were terrible. He sounded like 40's-era versions of Mortimer Mouse (Mickey's cousin or whatever) on helium. Not to mention he fell and then made out with some ambiguously gendered keyboarder midway through. I just ask that I not be subjected to gay porn while I'm trying to eat a bowl of mini-wheats. Thank you.

TCJ Journal Honorary Plaque of Fail: Jon Gosselin, 'Kate Plus 8'
Gosselins: take your family drama out of the spotlight and work things out. It's not right for your kids to let this all play out on national television. Thank you.
Goodbye Jon.
It was announced today that Kate will continue "Jon and Kate Plus 8" under a new title; "Kate Plus 8," and talk about raising 8 kids as a single mother during the show. Interestingly enough, Jon Gosselin also released apology today for the way he's treated Kate and even asking to halt the divorce. Coincidence? I think not.
I'd love to live in happy land where everything is innocent and good, but unfortunately I do not. No one is naive enough to think that Jon Gosselin just happened to ask for forgiveness the day it was announced that he doesn't have a job anymore. I mean come on Jon, at least wait a week or two. For being worthless, Jon Gosselin earns the TCJ Honorary Plaque of Fail and a place in the Hall of Fame. Congrats Jon!
Having said that, Kate's not off the hook either. As a single mother, she needs to focus on raising her 8 children, not raising the ratings of her TV show. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely on her side (though she's probably a bit of a control freak), I just can't see how she's going to have enough time to raise the kids and have a TV show about their lives, among other business ventures.
Additionally, the kids deserve some privacy. They aren't old enough to say, "I'm not doing this show," so they're forced to go along with if that's what mommy wants. I can't imagine the difficulties of going through a regular divorce, and having that whole process play out in front of millions of viewers will make that about one million times worse for the kids. So Kate, put your (well deserved) desire to get back at Jon aside and do what's right for the kids. I'm not going to give you a Fail Plaque yet, but you're borderline.
What do you think of the Jon and Kate situation? Leave your comments below or send an e-mail to theconservativejournal@gmail.com. Don't forget to bookmark The Conservative Journal and sign up for the RSS Feed and the daily e-mail newsletter.

Here's Kris Allen's first single after winning American Idol, "Live Like You Were Dying". I like it, it's not anything revolutionary, but it's a fun song that I can see myself listening to while driving home from work. I'll probably even sing along. Listen to the song below:

September 21st News Bits and Pieces: Bill Clinton, ACORN, Scams, and Republicans
Groups spar over U.S. offshore drilling plan
As I said in a post earlier today, I'm in big support of offshore drilling. The benefits far outweigh whatever costs anyone can come up with. And I'm very happy to hear that the off shore drilling bans in place for 20 years were allowed to expire without renewal. Hopefully we can get some new rigs set up and begin drilling on our own soil ASAP.
'The Clinton Tapes,' a New Book
I can't wait for this to come out. I think it's going to be fascinating to read if even half of the hype is true. As for the claims that the writer thinks Clinton is probably worried, I doubt that's any more than his way of building hype. But either way, I think it's going to be a great read that I'll be sure and review for readers of The Conservative Journal. The book is set for release on September 28th.
Democratic fundraiser indicted in NY
Surprise, surprise. Yet another corrupt bimbo to deal with accordingly. I hope that people become more wary of scams like this one, but you never know. Can't wait to see where this case from here and I'm sure more information will come out as time goes on.
Justice Department Reviews Ties to Acorn
The pressure was finally put on ACORN and we're finally seeing results. I don't know what this investigation will hold as I didn't know the Justice Department would have ever been tied to ACORN, but I'm glad they're at least looking into it.
ANALYSIS-Republicans see opportunities in 2010
I think the claims by "top republicans" that the republican party could take back control of the house might be a bit of a long shot, but I do see the republican party making great strides in 2010. I see the party gaining seats in the house and probably 1 or 2 in the senate. As said in the article, the Governor races in November should be good indicators.
Kate Gosselin Confirms Talk Show, PopEater Readers Aren't Digging It
I'm digging it either. I think the Gosselin family needs to pull out of the spotlight and deal with family matters before going through with any other business ventures. They've got 8 kids to take care of and there's no way they're doing that with Jon's laziness and Kate's work-aholicness. They better have a good nanny.
World's Hairiest Man Having 'Pretty Monkey' Surgery
Well I'm glad he's getting that taken care of, I'm sure he's pretty self-conscious because of it.

Song of the Day: "Happy" by Leona Lewis (New Single Live on America's Got Talent)
I was a big fan of Leona Lewis on the X-Factor (Yes, I did watch that), and I was also a fan of most of the stuff on her first CD, and there's no denying she's got a great voice.

September 20th News Bits and Pieces: Terrorism, ACORN, Governor Paterson, and 30 Rock
First off, sorry for the lack of posts this weekend, it's been extremely busy. This week is going to busy as well, but I'm going to try my hardest to have time to post on a semi-regular schedule. But for now, here's your bits and pieces:
Urgent probe underway of possible Al Qaeda-linked terror plot
This one really scared me. I'm just beyond happy that they were able to nip this in the bud before anything happened. If they were direct links to Al-Qaeda then they obviously meant business. Score 1 for the U.S.
NY governor ignores pressure to end election quest
Ahh Governor Paterson, you're just in your own world. He currently has some of the lowest numbers of any New York Governor, but he's still standing firm in his plans to seek re-election. That's determination right there. Personally, I don't care either way because I don't live in New York. However, I do know that the longer he stays and the further his poll numbers drop, the more likely it is that a Republican has a shot for the seat.
President Says ACORN Should Be Investigated
Honestly, I'm surprised he knows anything about the scandal. I'm glad that he thinks an investigation is in order, but his comments were dismissive of the issue. "It's not something I've followed closely" were his exact words, and I just don't see the reason for that. While he's right in saying that it's not the biggest issue facing our country, I do think it's a much bigger issue than something to just place on the back burner.
Ex-aide says Edwards fathered mistress' child
I'm sure this "ex-aid" is extremely reliable, but I believe it even without his/her anonymous help. John Edwards is the scum of the earth and this doesn't really surprise me one bit. Is it not bad enough to have an affair with a woman while your dying wife lies in the hospital? So, you have to go and have a child with her? Zero. Morals.
ACORN scaling back or shutting down in many cities
Goooood, this is a good start and the first step to totally erasing ACORN from the map. I think if an organization that did what ACORN was made to existed, it would be very beneficial to society. ACORN is just so very corrupt that it's impossible for them to do anything honestly. They can't even be honest about why they're shutting down: they say it has a lot to do with the economy, but wouldn't a recession be prime time for a group that profits off people that make little money trying to get any government programs their eligible for?
'30 Rock' Wins Top Comedy Emmy
Dang, I was pulling for "The Office" to take the top comedy spot this year! I don't even know if it was nominated, but I think it's funnier than 30 Rock, Tina Fey must choose the winner. I also can't believe that American Idol hasn't won best reality show. I didn't realize anyone watched "The Amazing Race" and it's won for the past 7 years. You learn something new every day.
High School Students Flunk Civics Test
This is just sad. If I were Oklahoma, I'd be very discouraged right about now. It's totally unacceptable that a mere 25% know who the first president of the United States is. I'm sure that these same results are found throughout the country but that's no excuse. 92% of immigrants who take this test pass, why can't actual citizens of the country do the same?

Fringe Premiere "A New Day in the Old Town"- Recap and Review
The season premiere of Fringe opens up the sounds of shattering glass on a crowded street in Manhattan, New York. The driver of the vehicle that wrecked runs down the street and into an apartment, where he attacks the man he encounters in an apartment hallway. After he's got the man dead/unconscious, he sticks a wire down his throat and into his own. After several seconds his face is transformed into the image of the man lying on the floor.
The scene cuts to Walter and Peter shopping for groceries and talking about Peter's upcoming birthday. While in the store, Peter receives a phone call and is called to the scene of the wreck mentioned above. Apparently, Agent Dunham, his partner, was one of the drivers in the accident. When Peter arrives, there's a slight problem: Agent Dunham is nowhere to be found at the scene. While Peter is arguing with the officer, Olivia flies through the windshield of the car and onto the street.
At the hospital, the doctor informs Peter and Walter that Olivia has died. Walter refuses to accept this and storms back into the hospital room. While in the room, he finds that Agent Dunham really is gone, and he begins to cry. After leaving the hospital, Peter heads to a bar where he is found by Broyles. Broyles informs him that they're being shut down by the government for not delivering results. Peter leaves and heads back to the hospital to give Olivia his final goodbye. While he's in the room, Agent Dunham opens her eyes and mutters things in a foreign language and jumps up screaming.
The office staff at the hospital begins questioning Olivia, and she begins to recount the events before the accident. She says that someone told her something that everyone's lives depend on.
The next day Peter heads to the FBI office, but his card is declined due to the closing of the Fringe division. The officer from the accident (Agent Jessup) says she will take Peter where he wants to go. While in the car, she begins to question Peter on his past and the Fringe division. The officer from the accident takes Peter to the home of the other member of the accident, the man who transformed his face. In his house, they find a body, which is given to Walter for testing.
The man who transformed his face enters a gun shop, where he is given a set of keys to a back room of the shop. In the back room, he begins to type a message on an old fashioned typewriter. He types out "Mission Accomplished. Target killed in fatal car crash". The Typewriter types back "Mission Failed. Find Target. Interrogate Her and then Kill Her."
Agent Francis heads to the hospital to visit Agent Dunham. He tells her the story of the domestic disturbance that took his partners life, and almost took his. Agent Dunham tells him that she's so scared and shaken she can't even load her gun that's hidden under her pillow.
Back at the lab, Walter is continuing his tests on the body found in the home. He can't find anything wrong with the actual body, but he does find 3 puncture wounds in the roof of his mouth. He shows Peter, Astrid, and Agent Jessup a video of a girl who was having tests run on her many years ago. She talks about the man who sticks the "3 nails in the mouth" and shape-shifts.
At the D.C. hearing, the senators question Special Agent Broyles over the relevancy of the Fringe division. The panel of senators tell him without something physical to show for the human and fiscal costs, they can't continue funding the division. After the hearing, Agent Broyles meets with Nina Sharp to discuss what their options are saving the Fringe division. The two share a kiss and she says "Do like you always do Phillip. Save the day." Could this be hinting past occurrences between Nina and Phillip?
The shape-shifting man enters the basement of the hospital where Olivia is staying. He sees a nurse outside and attacks her so he can shape-shift and complete his mission of "interrogate and destroy". While disguised as the nurse, he asks Olivia several questions about what happened before the accident. When it's obvious Olivia can't remember, the nurse/shape-shifter attacks her and attempts to kill her. Agent Jessup arrives almost immediately and shoots the shape-shifter twice in the back. Unphased, he/she jumps out the hospital window and into the basement of the hospital. The agents follow it into the basement, with Agent Francis finally cornering and killing it.
Back in the hospital room, Peter tells Olivia about Walter's hypothesis: that the nurse was a shape-shifting soldier from another planet. Walter repeats the Greek words that Agent Dunham said when she woke up after the accident. Peter says that his mother used to say those same words to every night, which mean "Be a better man than your father".
Peter brings Broyles the shape-shifting device they took from the shape-shifter after he was killed. Peter tells him that's the physical evidence they need and that if they can fix it they can have armies of people who look like whoever they want.
In the closing scene, Agent Francis is seen throwing his own corpse into the crematorium. Apparently, the shape-shifter was able to shift into Agent Francis before the other agents arrived, meaning he's not dead but Agent Francis is.
Wow! What a premiere. It leaves so many unanswered questions. Where did Agent Dunham go? Will the Fringe division still be shut down? Why did Agent Broyles kiss Nina Sharp? Where is the shape-shifter from? When will Agent Dunham be back on her feet? I can't to see where this season goes!

The Office Premiere- "Gossip"- Recap and Review
Michael, Andy, and Dwight open the show by imitating parcore, an internet sensation from 2004 that includes running and jumping off of things. Andy "parcores" off the dumpster right into an empty Vance Refrigeration box that doesn't do anything to break his fall.
Back in the office, Dwight gives an intern the order to "go put all those files in random order, then come talk to me about what's wrong with the order."
After the credits roll we find that Pam is pregnant with Jim's offspring. Well congrats Jim and Pam! They say they aren't going to tell the office members, and I can't say that I blame them.
The latest office gossip is that two of the interns, Eric and Megan, are a couple, and Michael is very sad that he doesn't know about it. One of the interns tells Michael that he saw Stanley and his wife at a club and Michael thinks he's got the latest gossip that Stanley is having a midlife crisis. Michael soon finds out that Stanley's wife is out of town, so he gets mad at the intern for lying. Through further discussion, Michael and the intern decide he is having an affair. Michael then realizes that he does have the latest gossip so he tells Kelly.. and everyone else. "It's wonderful to be the center of attention," said Michael. Jim quickly puts an end to the gossiping by telling Michael he could ruin Stanley's life. Michael must know, so he asks Stanley. Naturally, Stanley initially denies the claim, which causes Michael to say its just "racial profiling and gossip". Eventually, Stanley admits to the affair and talks about the "long walks on the treadmill" he had with Cynthia, the woman he's having an affair with. Michael assures Stanley he can keep a secret.
Back inside Michael tries to "untell" the affair story by spreading "false gossip so everyone thinks what was said is untrue" about office members. The first batch of rumors he starts are hilarious and include: Angela is dating an 81 year old billionaire, Kelly is anorexic, Andy is gay, and Pam is pregnant. Uh oh.
Michael then calls everyone into the meeting room to wish the departing interns a fairwell. During the meeting, everyone dicusses the rumors of the day. Andy tells Jim the evidence is stacked against him and he may be gay, and Jim advises him to have sex with both genders and compare. Andy then tells him congrats on the "baby tuna", causing Jim to go find Pam. Other rumors include that Oscar is the voice of taco bell dog, Toby is a virgin, and Kevin has someone inside him working the controls. The staff traces the rumors back to Michael and they demand an explanation. Michael explains he was trying to "untell" a rumor and is about to reveal the true rumor when Jim steps in and says that the true rumor is that Pam is pregnant, saving Stanley from the the news of his affair from going public… for now.
Michael has Jim and Pam in his office to scold them for not telling him their news before telling everyone else. While they're chatting, Stanley's wife returns Michael's call about the affair and he accidentally breaks the news of the affair to Terry. In the closing scene you can see Stanley beating the crap out of Michael's car. I think he's angry.

The Awesome, Goofy, Competitive World of Collegiate Club Triathlon
More than 1,300 athletes will race for individual and club titles this weekend at USA Triathlon Collegiate Club National Championships in Tempe, Ariz.
April 3, 2019 Kristin Goett

The USA Triathlon Collegiate Club Championships are a whirlwind of school pride, fast feet, and unbridled enthusiasm. While triathlon is usually a solo affair, over 100 collegiate club triathlon teams gather each year and prove how a team mindset can be applied to swim, bike, and run.
This year, the event returns to Tempe, Ariz. on April 4 and 5. Collegiate triathletes have the options of competing in a draft-legal sprint, an Olympic distance non-drafting race, and a mixed-team relay super sprint.
I got the pleasure of chatting with representatives from three dominant schools in the collegiate tri scene—CU Boulder, Stanford, and Penn State—and they shared anecdotes about how these young athletes manage to keep collegiate triathlon goofy and maintain a competitive spirit.
Triathletes are known for having nutty pre-race superstitions, but nothing tops this ritual, as described by Roy Madrid, a junior on the CU Boulder Triathlon Team: "One of our teammates will do a practice swim in her wetsuit, but only if she wants the swim to get cancelled."
Hey, we're not judging… ok, maybe a little bit.
While CU Boulder has multiple national championship titles to their name, Stanford is revered as one of the fiercest teams to hit the course, but even with all the hype, they keep their egos in check.
Hollis Crowder, President of the Stanford Triathlon Team, shared the Trees' unique way of boosting teammates' motivations on race day.
"Something pretty funny we did at last year's nationals was a bet between the genders: whoever placed lower in school rankings by gender had to wear their nationals costumes home," Crowder said. "The TSA agents had no idea what to do with us."
(It is not uncommon for students to dress up in ridiculous costumes to support their teammates who are on the course. In this case, the Stanford men's team dressed up as traffic cops and traffic cones.)
Proving even more that Stanford has a sense of humor, Crowder graciously sent a photo of the men's team all gussied up as traffic cones on the trip back to Palo Alto.
Keeping groups of collegiate triathletes focused the night before a race can be a difficult task—just ask Brad Seng, head triathlon coach at CU Boulder. To boost morale and capture the team's attention for a few minutes on race eve, Seng created a unique team tradition: reciting poems.
Yep, you read that right.
"[The poems are] a kaleidoscope of motivation and silliness," joked Seng. "[The poem is always] a variation of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.'"
Seng tacked on with a chuckle: "The team ends up laughing at me, mostly."
With 18 national titles to their name, it seems the Buffs respond well to Seng's stanzas.
When the medals have been awarded, the cars have been re-packed, and flights have been boarded, all collegiate triathlon teams can leave nationals knowing they achieved something great.
For Penn State, this means handing out end-of-season superlatives at a team banquet, complete with In-N-Out burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Triathletes gotta eat, right!?
Stanford hangs up their racing hats with "Tri Prom," which is exactly like high school prom—the best night ever or delightfully cringe-worthy, depending on your experience. This special event involves breaking out dresses and suits, no spandex allowed, and celebrating by showing off only the coolest dance moves.
Everyone at Triathlete is wishing all schools competing this weekend in Tempe good mechanical luck, weather that isn't too hot, and safe travels to and from the race. Fans can follow the action at the USA Triathlon Live Twitter account this Friday and Saturday.

Dancing with the Community
By Stephanie Wise
Outreach and Engagement Communications Intern
The Department of Dance at Ohio State recognizes that it has a responsibility to expand public understanding and appreciation of dance, which takes on many different forms of expression - whether that be creatively, culturally, or educationally. Dori Jenks, former external relations coordinator for the Department of Dance, confirmed just this. "We are a performance based art form, so there is the sharing of work. That too is the sharing of culture and also education and enriching peoples' lives," she said.
Engaging Central Ohio
The department and its faculty and staff strive to have their students enhance their own area of study while being reminded that dance is meant to be shared with others in numerous capacities. Jenks spoke about how important that community involvement and exchange is. "I think that it is embedded in our department and our program and, quite honestly, our art form because it is collaborative by its very nature," Jenks said. The department's seniors participate in a senior project where they are encouraged to engage with the community in a conversation through words and movement. Partnerships include Columbus, Upper Arlington, and Hilliard City Schools, charter schools, and the Franklin County Community Based Correctional Facility.
These projects are exemplified by 2014 BFA graduates Tyisha Nedd and Theresa Niermeyer. Nedd spent a year with the Franklin County Community Based Correctional Facility, where she was able to bring the arts and creativity to women there. Niermeyer carried out her project at the high school branch of Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center where she taught diverse dance as a means of promoting the concept of global citizenship.
"It's not just a one-stop shop. This is a medium that can change your life. Here, let us share that together and learn together. So I think that idea is really the underpinning of the kind of community partnerships and projects that we get involved in with our students," Jenks said.
Gabby Stefura, a 2007 BFA graduate from the Department of Dance is paying it forward in her work as a dance teacher at Fort Hayes High School. She spoke about how impactful the connection between Fort Hayes and Ohio State is. "The impact of those upper level kids that get to be with students that are dancers at the collegiate level is huge...they get to see kids not that much older than them doing something cool that they like," Stefura said. Even her beginning and intermediate dance students get to view Ohio State performances from the audience, which Stefura feels has been eye-opening to them and allows them to cultivate an early appreciation for the art form.
The Department of Dance has also developed collaborations that expand its reach beyond Columbus. Last year, an ensemble of dancers was partnered with a cultural tour in a sister learning institute in China. The dancers presented nine performances in seven different cities. "Teaching and working in schools, performing in the community - there's this completely international reach for that kind of collaboration and learning from each other in cultural exchange," Jenks said.
This year over spring break, an ensemble of dancers traveled to Brazil in a similar capacity. Susan Hadley, professor and chair of Dance, took 11 students on the trip, which allowed for performances and instruction by Ohio State dance students, as well as an exchange between American and Brazilian culture. Dancers that were selected went through classes on Brazilian culture and history, ensuring that when they arrived in the country they had already invested time developing an appreciation for the location they would call home and perform in for the week.
Asha Whitfield, a 2016 BFA graduate and member of the ensemble that traveled to Brazil, highlighted that contrary to dance in the United States, the Brazilians they performed for interacted with the dance from beginning to end - fully taking in the performances. "Whenever we finished a show, our way of interacting with the audiences usually ended with a spontaneous dance party. The realization that these people dance together as part of what they do in life was comforting and invigorating. Dance is not a separate event or even something only certain people can do, but instead something everyone does together," said Whitfield.
With the experience being so impactful, Whitfield said the lessons she learned will continue with her. "By having an open mind, I was able to accept the differences I noticed within myself and how that related to the people around me. Because of this love for the people, I wanted to experience movement from their perspective and learn their values. Coming back home, I want to incorporate this newfound awareness and insight into what I decide to do with my dance career."

Train driver wins unfair dismissal case after dodgy alcohol test
Patrick Stafford
Businesses have been warned to not only maintain strict alcohol and drug testing standards, but actually make sure they're able to conduct those tests properly, after a business has been slammed by a successful unfair dismissal case.
The applicant was found to be unfairly dismissed after he was tested for drug and alcohol intake on a day during which he was not even rostered to work, by an employee who was not authorised to conduct the test.
TressCox Lawyers partner Nick Duggal told SmartCompany this morning it's not enough to just have a policy – it needs to be maintained.
"You need to have a clear drug and alcohol testing policy, but you need to also clearly articulate when that testing can occur," he says.
James Martin was employed by El Zorro Transport (now in liquidation) as a locomotive driver for nearly five years. However, in March of this year he was told there wasn't much work available, but he could attend an "expression of interest" meeting to find out about new opportunities.
Before attending the test, he was stopped by a manager to conduct a "pre-sign-on random alcohol test".
The next day, Martin was given a letter saying he had been summarily dismissed for testing positive to an alcohol test. His two tests registered readings of 0.014% and 0.01% respectively.
The Fair Work Commission found the dismissal was unfair given the nature of the meeting – which had nothing to do with work.
"He was not undertaking rail safety work. He did not present himself at the respondent's premises correctly attired and ready for work. He was not told to present for work on the day of his dismissal."
Even if the test was valid, the Commission found Martin wasn't even given notice of a new alcohol limit standard for tests of just 0%, rather than the old limit of 0.02%.
"The circumstances surrounding the applicant's alcohol test were seriously flawed. The testing officer … was not authorised to conduct the test. The applicant's dismissal was disproportionate to the gravity of his conduct."
Specifically, the Commission said, the conduct was neither deliberate nor wilful – two factors for a summary dismissal.
Duggal says while it's perfectly valid for drug and alcohol testing to occur in occupations in which employees handle dangerous equipment, the circumstances regarding this test were not good enough.
"The employee wasn't going to be driving a train that day, there were no real health and safety considerations.
"It's important to understand that a summary dismissal requires repudiation of the terms of the contract. Turning up to see if there was more work available and having an alcohol consistent test wasn't found to constitute serious misconduct."
The Commission also found workplace policies cannot be effected unless employers make arrangements to "provide them to employees in an orderly way" – and if they don't, there can be consequences.
"All changes made to policies must be clearly and openly communicated to employees. It follows that where changes are not properly communicated to employees, key compliance provisions may be unenforceable."
