Once Upon a Time 2.18: "Selfless, Brave and True"
"That's my problem; hoping. Hoping that things can still work out. Hoping that I can find redemption for the mistakes that I've made. But maybe some things you just don't come back from."
- August
After rewatching this episode I have to say I'm still kind of lukewarm on it. We had a couple interesting back story pieces filled about August but the big reveal at the end was sort of a letdown. Though this episode does make the Neal/Emma shipper in me cheer that maybe the obstacle between them won't be around much longer.
We start in Phuket on October 24, 2011. August is in bed with random naked woman. He wakes as the clock hits 8:15am and he sees his leg is turning to wood. His lady friend doesn't seem interested. I laughed at just how silly his accent sounded. At least he didn't wake up with a weird tattoo a la Jack on LOST. In Storybrooke, David is making Mary Margaret breakfast in bed again. Emma thinks he needs to stop and let her face the music and move on with her life. That apparently spurs Mary Margaret out of bed and to the woods for some target practice while listening to "Bad Reputation". I have to say that was pretty awesome. As she's shooting arrows, she hits something. Upon further investigation, she finds a completely wooden, but ambulatory, August hiding in a dingy trailer.
That isn't the only surprise accosting the Charmings this week. Emma and Henry head over for a visit with Neal who promptly sends Henry on a hot cocoa run so he can chat with Emma. He tells her the bad news first; Hook has escaped the confines of that storage room (guess his leg was all healed up). And then we get the worse news; Tamara is 10 minutes out. But hey, she's bringing bagels. Apparently that's enough for Emma to stay and meet the new woman in her man's life. I mean come on, Neal. What guy willingly encourages his ex and his current lover to bond? That just least to all kinds of weirdness. There was some awkwardness between Emma and Neal when he blurts out that he needs Tamara. He realizes that probably hurt Emma a lot and she's just brushing it off by saying she's not the one being lied to. In the woods, Mary Margaret fills August in on the goings-on in town, including Neal being back. There's kind of a glimmer of hope (can wood glimmer?) that maybe Neal and Emma are back together. But that's crushed when she mentions his fiancée. August is feeling pretty sorry for himself still and he tells Mary Margaret to leave and pretend she never saw and to not tell anyone about him. We flash back to Phuket. August is in the hospital but obviously the doctor he sees doesn't believe him. He takes off running (after stabbing a scalpel in his leg) so as not to be dragged off in a straightjacket. A kid nabs him and says a man called The Dragon can help for a price. It's apparently a long walk to get there and August has to do more waiting. But he does get to hand a pretty girl her cell phone after it falls out of her purse. And of course, that someone is Tamara.
Speaking of, she's arrived with bagels (lots and lots of them) and Henry is interested to know how his future stepmom and his dad met. Apparently she was running late, Neal bumped into and then lent her his scarf to cover the coffee stain. Emma takes this moment to whisk Henry off to Grandpa Charming and Neal tries to explain to Tamara that he's not from our world. Gotta say, leading off with "I'm from the Enchanted Forest" isn't gonna win many points. She says he's just covering because he still has feelings for Emma and that when he's ready to deal with his feelings and tell the truth about himself, to find her. Don't find her, Neal. Go find Emma!
I'm going to deal with the random Greg/Owen subplot in a quick little paragraph. Regina finds him eating pie at Granny's and thanks him for telling her about Henry. She swears he looks familiar but he denies that they've ever met. Until he gets back to his room and she's waiting for him all creepy like. Even the things she says about keeping the little gift he gave her sound extra creepy. He demands to have his father back but she says he left years ago and that if he doesn't leave the next day, she'll make him disappear. Totally pointless and wasted airtime if you ask me. I honestly don't give a crap about him or his dad.
Down at Granny's, Mary Margaret tells Emma and Marco that she found August but he's gone all stiff. They hoof over to Mother Superior but she says she can't help August because he didn't heed her warning about being truthful, honest and unselfish. Mary Margaret is not going to give up. They'll head to the woods to find him and drag his oaky ass back to town if they have to. Back in Phuket, August meets with The Dragon and has to give up the string that animated him as payment. Well and he needs $10,000 by that night. But the Dragon promises if August gets it, he won't turn to wood ever again. He ends up running into Tamara at a bar and she's flashing a big fat envelope of cash around in her bag. Tamara tells him she's got rare cancer and she's hoping the Dragon can cure her. She takes a call, giving August the perfect opportunity to snatch the cash and run. In Storybrooke, a knock comes on August's trailer and as he angrily opens it, he finds Tamara standing outside.
August goes back to the Dragon with the cash and gets the potion that will save him. Before he can drink it, Tamara catches up with him and after a brief chase, his body gives out on him and he falls, tossing the vial into the air. She takes it and walks off, leaving him lying in the gutter. He is obviously surprised to see her. But he believes the potion worked since you know, she didn't die from cancer. She says that there's some of the potion left in New York and all he has to do is go now and not come back (I swear I've heard that in a fairytale somewhere before). August at least makes the connection that she is Neal's fiancée and I think he was a little dismayed to find out Neal knows nothing about her plot (whatever that may be). In the woods, Marco admits to Mary Margaret and Emma that he made the Blue Fairy lie about the wardrobe. Mary Margaret slaps him (which he totally deserved) but they get to the trailer to find it empty. August is speeding away from town in Tamara's car.
Tamara visits the Dragon the next day and says she's analyzed the contents of the vial and there are no known elements from this world in it. SO she's finally found the real deal. We still don't know why she wants magic but she does. She whips out a serious stun gun and kills the Dragon. Seriously, that shouldn't be possible. As August is driving off, he hits a pothole and the photo of Tamara and her grandmother falls out. He realizes he's been played and races back to the Sheriff's station. He manages to call Emma from the landline but only says he needs to warn her before Tamara yanks the cord from the wall. He tries to act tough and say he's going to warn them but she stuns him too. Okay, he's made of wood that doesn't conduct electricity. Seriously people! Though I suppose August telling her she's hit the mother lode of magic in Storybrooke was stupid because now she's going to stick around probably try and steal Rumple and Regina's magic, too. I really hope the Charming/Mills/Gold clan just takes her out.
The Charmings and Marco race to the station to find August stumbling outside. With his dying breath he tries to warn Emma about what's going on but doesn't get it out. Mother Superior (after Henry makes the connection) works her mojo and turns August back to human. There's a catch though, he's a kid again. So there goes my slug fest fantasy of Neal duking it out over the fact August stole all the watch money and blew it. But I guess it makes sense in a way. This is August's second chance. He wanted a clean slate and the chance to start over. Tamara appears in time to see the magical transformation and acts not at all surprised. We get a flashback of how they first met. And it's pretty accurate to what she told Henry. She leaves out the fact she's spying on Neal and August as Neal heads up to Storybrooke to get Emma to break the curse. He even tells Neal there's an upside to breaking the curse, he could see Emma again. Back in Storybrooke, Emma and Henry finally make up over the whole "I lied about your dad" thing and Mary Margaret comes clean to David about her pseudo suicide-by-evil-Queen. We end with Greg getting a call from Her, only to reveal it's Tamara and they are apparently lovers. Yeah, Neal really needs to dump her ass fast.

'Pippin' Star Patina Miller Soars On Broadway Actress Patina Miller made a splash on the theater scene in 2009 as the star of Sister Act. This year, she won a Tony Award for the Broadway revival of Pippin. She portrays Leading Player, the circus artist who guides a young prince in finding meaning and magic in his life. Miller speaks with host Michel Martin about the intense physical training and personal sacrifices that went into recreating Pippin.

< 'Pippin' Star Patina Miller Soars On Broadway
August 26, 201311:50 AM ET
I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. Later in the program, I want to share some words about my dear friend and colleague Teshima Walker. She was the executive producer of this program and, as you might have already heard, she passed away recently. I want to share some thoughts about her in just a few minutes. But first, a special conversation with Tony Award-winning actress Patina Miller. She first got noticed on the theater scene in 2009 as the star of "Sister Act - A Divine Musical Comedy." She earned rave reviews for playing the accidental nun who led a choir to stardom. Now Patina Miller takes center stage again in the Broadway revival of "Pippin." The musical first launched in 1972. Miller takes on the role of Leading Player, the circus artist who guides a young prince in finding meaning and magic in his life.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MAGIC TO DO")
MARTIN: That was Patina Miller singing "Magic To Do" in "Pippin." Miller won this year's Tony Award for starring in the revival. You can also hear her on the newly released CD of the shows' songs. And she is with us now. Welcome, congratulations on everything.
PATINA MILLER: Thank you so much. Thank you so much, it's good to be here.
MARTIN: How did it come to you to play the Leading Player? I think many people will remember that that was a role originated by Ben Vereen 40 years ago.
MILLER: Yes, well, I had worked with the director, Diane Paulus, before in 2007. Then I got a call from her after I left "Sister Act" in 2011 and she was telling me that she was going to revive "Pippin" and that she had this idea for the Leading Player to be a woman, and that, like, immediately sparked my interest. I thought it was so clever and so amazing, you know, to do a revival and think of it in such a different way. And that's just the kind of director she is. So, you know, she called me in and told me what she had in mind of what she wanted this character to be and asked me if I would come in and audition, and I did and the rest is history. I'm telling you, it's been the most amazing experience of my life.
MARTIN: Well, speaking of history, I believe this is the first time, for this role, that a woman and a man have each won the award for the same character.
MILLER: Yeah, that's pretty insane.
MARTIN: It is, and so I was wondering, following Ben Vereen, did it make it better or worse that you're a woman?
MILLER: You know, I actually have to say a lot of people were excited for me to do it and, you know, I'm sure there were tons of people who were like, no one could ever top Ben Vereen, so I came into this process with a challenge - a really big challenge is how do you make "Pippin" different, but also, how do you take people's minds off the fact that - you know, people come in expecting Ben Vereen and that's why I think Diane is so smart in that she completely made it so different in making the Leading Player a women.
So that you can kind of go in, you're not going to see Ben Vereen, you already know you're not seeing him, you're not seeing another man, so you can't compare it to that, but you can see it through the eyes of something different, and I didn't really know "Pippin" that well, so I could come into it, you know, as like a blank canvas. I could just make this world my own and there wasn't something that I had to compare myself to. And so that's kind of how I threw myself into it and it was great for me as an actor to be able to create this character that people thought they knew but to be able to bring something different to it.
MARTIN: I want to talk a little bit more about "Pippin" in a minute, but I did want to ask, this is the second time that you have taken on a role that other...
MILLER: ...Yeah...
MILLER: ...People may have already formed opinions about because you played the same character that Whoopi Goldberg played in the film version, you know, of "Sister Act," and you were a relative newcomer at that stage, I mean, was that hard? I mean, did people come in expecting to see Whoopi Goldberg?
MILLER: You know, to be given a role like that at 24 years old, having never lead a company and to go over to another country and perform by yourself and lead the show, and you know, people love Whoopi over there. So it was frightening and scary but at the end of the day, I really wanted it so much and I wanted the opportunity to be able to just be an actor and find my way throughout this piece and make people see that, you know, you're not seeing Whoopi but you're seeing a performer who is giving her all and making you have a good time and hopefully in the end they forget about it, you know.
MARTIN: You talked to Whoopi about it though, right?
MILLER: Yes, I did.
MARTIN: At one point - Whoopi, like we're friends, like, right, I'm acting like she's my best friend, right...
MILLER: ...Yeah, Whoop, you know, I talk to Whoops.
MARTIN: Yeah, exactly. Was she nice about it?
MILLER: Yes, she was the most down-to-earth person ever. I met her right before I went out to London and she just let me know she was there for me every step of the way, and she knew that it was going to be hard for me stepping into her shoes because she knows, you know, "Sister Act" was a huge film, but she told me to just do my thing and forget about what other people think about it. Don't be afraid but use it, and that's exactly what I did.
MARTIN: It would've been really rough if she'd gone the other way...
MILLER: ...Oh, God.
MARTIN: ...And go, yeah, girl, you just cannot possibly - you know...
MILLER: ...Well that would've been awful.
MARTIN: What would you do?
MILLER: I would cry in the corner or something.
MARTIN: Really?
MILLER: But I would've pulled it off.
MARTIN: If you're just joining us, we're speaking with Tony Award-winning actress Patina Miller. We're talking about her role in the Broadway revival of "Pippin" and also about the rest of her career. I want to play another song from "Pippin." This is a bit from your solo, "Simple Joys."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SIMPLE JOYS")
MARTIN: Couple things I wanted to ask about that. First of all, this role is very physically demanding.
MILLER: Yes.
MARTIN: I mean, you can hear, it's vocally demanding but it's physically demanding. You spend a lot of the time like literally in the air.
MARTIN: Performing on a - what would you call it? A high wire?
MILLER: A trapeze.
MARTIN: A trapeze.
MARTIN: So that's the first thing I wanted to ask, which is, how do you keep yourself together to do that, eight performances a week?
MILLER: Well, the good thing is before I started I started to take lessons on trapeze, but I also started to really get into fitness, getting into being healthy and taking care of my body. So about a year ago - I mean, I've always been physical and everything but I wanted to really start getting into figuring out how strong I could get without bulking up. And so I started taking personal physical training and nutritional things with these trainers at Mark Fisher Fitness here in New York City, and I really got into it.
Something that I really love to do and the one thing about my character I wanted was for my character to be really strong. I wanted her to be able to hold her own and a lot of that, you know, flying in the air - it's not easy. You know, I'm very strong but I was strong in a different way so I had to find a way of building muscle in a different way to be able to hold my bodyweight on the trapeze and I'm dancing a lot, I'm doing a lot of Fosse, it's nonstop physical movement the entire show. And also singing in this big emotional arc that my character goes through the show. So I just wanted to be prepared mentally - physically to be able to take on the role.
MARTIN: Do you have to take steps to preserve your strength and voice that perhaps friends and family don't quite understand? Like not speaking on your day off, for example?
MILLER: Yes, yes, yes, there are days where it's, like, you know, I know what I need to do tomorrow, so I - you know, I come home and I crash. Being on this journey for two hours and 30 minutes and some days, you know, you do it twice in a day, can be very taxing on your body and on your voice. And so I really have to be strict about the things that I do. But, you know, I've learned throughout this process that I'm stronger than I think I am. It's allowed me to not have to be a nun like how I was in "Sister Act."
MARTIN: Well, do you literally, like, not go to parties? I've heard Broadway performers say they don't go to parties because they can't afford to project over the crowd noise.
MILLER: No, I mean, I...
MARTIN: ...So yes, you do go or you don't go?
MILLER: No, I do not go to parties, I mean, no, not at all. I don't go to parties, I don't really go to bars and, you know, it kind of sucks sometimes 'cause your friends want you to go out, but they understand that, you know, if I go out right now I'm jeopardizing what I have to do at night. And listen, I love what I do so much and I don't want to jeopardize that at all. So I like taking care of myself because I like being on stage. I've been given a great opportunity to do what I love to do eight times a week. I don't want to mess that up.
MARTIN: One of those weird ironies that here you are, like the toast of Broadway, but you can't go out.
MILLER: I know, right?
MARTIN: You have to go home and drink tea.
MILLER: I know, our opening night party was so amazing, but the entire time I'm like whispering in people's ears. Just like, you know, you have to talk to so many people on your opening night and everyone congratulating you and you're so excited but, like, you know that you have a show to do tomorrow and it's like midnight, and you want to have a drink but you can't have a drink. I don't think I've really touched any alcohol or anything else. I haven't been social in the way that I used to be social, but that's kind of one of the things that you sacrifice for something that you want to do.
MARTIN: Interesting, though, because "Pippin" is in part about what would you do to be extraordinary.
MILLER: Yeah.
MARTIN: What risks and sacrifices are you prepared to take to be extraordinary, to really understand who you are meant to be, you know, in this world. When you think about the path that you've taken - you were Tony-nominated for your first major role, you won for your second major role, great and amazing on the one hand, but on the other hand is it a little scary 'cause you kind of feel like, what'll I do for my follow-up? What's my next thing?
MILLER: Yeah, those are the things I think a lot of actors go through. I mean, after "Sister Act" I was - I remember thinking to myself when I left after my last show, and I had been working since 2000 - well, since I graduated I've been working nonstop. And so after that all ended for me in 2011, after such a long time, I went into like a depression of, was this a mistake, you know, was this going to be my only show? Did this happen by accident?
And I started questioning myself and my ability, and luckily I have amazing - an amazing mother and an amazing fiance who really just kind of like, you know, talked me off the ledge a little bit and was like, stop this, you know, you haven't had a time to rest for a long time, like, this is a good thing. And as soon as I stopped being depressed about, gosh, people are looking forward to what I'm going to do next. That was the question right, when people saw me - oh, so do you have anything lined up? After that moment, I think I left in March, in June Diane called me about "Pippin."
MARTIN: So you never thought oh, gosh, I should have majored in electrical engineering?
MILLER: No, I...
MARTIN: ...I always have that to fall back on.
MILLER: ...I always knew that this is what I was going to do and I was going to stop at nothing to get what I wanted. Like Pippin who's on this journey, as an artist, you know, I've always wanted to do this. I wasn't going to stop because what my idea of when I was young of, you know, I'm going to be a star, and how do I get there? So I went to school, I studied musical theater, I went to college, I was first in my family to go to college and, you know, I've been working professionally. I've been doing all of these things - now what's next? And I've learned, doing the show, that just being in the moment, like Bertha says in "Pippin," and experiencing, you know, the joys and all the other things of what life is now is enough, you know, 'cause nothing's guaranteed, so why not just live in the moment. And that's kind of what, you know, my whole thing is now, is just living from day to day, enjoying the blessings in what I get to do now.
MARTIN: Well, I'm going to let you save the rest of your voice for today, so thanks for coming in...
MILLER: ...Thanks, Michel.
MARTIN: ...And sharing a little bit of it with us.
MARTIN: Patina Miller is a Tony Award-winning actress. She portrays Leading Player in the Broadway revival of "Pippin." The music and lyrics are by Stephen Schwartz, and she was kind enough to stop by our New York bureau to speak with us. Congratulations, once again.
MILLER: Thank you.

Animal Welfare and Social Media – Is the Internet an Ally of Animals?
Article by Katarzyna Szpargala.
Abstract: This essay examines the role of social media in animal protection. Animals dominated the internet. There are millions of cute and funny animal videos and pictures online. Considering this huge popularity of animals' videos and pictures online, it should not be surprising that activists and organizations will try to increase awareness among social media users about animal rights and welfare. Social media can be helpful, and its influence in the animal movement is obvious, but its impact should not be overestimated. Additionally, some of these seemingly harmless videos and pictures promote animal abuse, and viewers may unintentionally support harmful and illegal practices.
Keywords: Animal Rights, Animal Abuse, Social Movement, Social Media, Online Activism

The internet loves animals. It seems pretty obvious that animal content dominated the online sphere, be it by the number of Youtube channels focusing on animals or the popularity of animal profiles on Instagram. Among thousands of cute and funny profiles, videos, and photos that aim to entertain, there are also profiles and channels that wish to increase awareness about animal rights and improve animal welfare, such as animal rescue groups or educational Youtube channels run by individuals or animal rights groups. By the number of followers, it is safe to say that these channels and profiles are not unnoticed or marginalized. For instance, despite its controversial reputation, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has almost six million followers on Facebook, and the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has Facebook profiles for multiple countries such as Taiwan SPCA or SPCA Malaysia.
However, the question is how efficient social media can be? Can social media improve animal welfare and rights? Nowadays, almost everyone has an account on one or two social media platforms, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of social media users even grew; in the past twelve months, over 500 million people joined social media (Data Portal, 2021). It is estimated that there are over four billion social media users worldwide (Data Portal, 2021). Social media are used for various purposes such as communication, entertainment, education and so on. Recently, however, more users decide to use their platforms to increase awareness and gain support for certain social issues and promote social changes. The online sphere, together with the offline sphere, became the place for activism and protests. However, there is also an increasing debate about the effectiveness and sincerity of so-called online activism. Is online activism meaningful for social and political changes or is it just slacktivism? Are online activists engaged in social issues? Can they establish a collective identity or is it just an insignificant gesture? There are many reasonable doubts about the role of social media in political and social activities.
Some scholars argued that activism and social movements, similar to other aspects of our lives, have moved to the online sphere, and it is just a part of contemporary society; thus, it should not be rejected or treated as a nonsignificant part of social or political involvement. Moreover, due to the nature of the internet, certain social actions might reach a wider audience faster and do not need to rely on traditional media and their attention as much as in conventional methods, which contribute to political decentralization (Aji, 2019; Downing, 2018).
On the other hand, some voices argued that online activism, often called by skeptics slacktivism or clicktivism, has no real power or social effect, but people can feel good about themselves because they share or change their profile picture on Facebook to support a certain movement without much or any sacrifice (Morozov, 2009). Additionally, scholars in animal studies noted that social media might contribute to the increase of animal abuse as some users profit from the popularity of Youtube channels or Facebook profiles that promote animal cruelty or support illegal animal trade (Edes, 2019).
This article briefly analyzes the role of social media in animal protection. Social media contributes to raising awareness about animal issues and can be a supporting tool for animal activism but awareness alone is not enough to improve animal welfare. Simultaneously social media creates a hostile environment that promotes animal abuse and animal trade, which users may unintentionally support.
Is the Internet a Tool For Liberalization or Oppression? A Long-Standing Debate and Arrival of Social Media.
The debate about the efficiency and role of the internet in the social environment and socio-political changes is nothing new. According to van Dijk (2006), "when the new media arrived in the 1980s, some people were talking about the 'pollution' of our social environment by the new media penetrating our private lives" (p. 2). Some of the early voices firmly demonized the internet, treating it as a wonderland for "pornographers, terrorists and political extremists" (Newey, 1999, p. 13). The tone somehow changed in the 1990s, and many of the dystopian views were replaced by more optimistic attitudes toward the internet (van Dijk, 2006). Early media scholars and internet enthusiasts believed that the internet would be an egalitarian space, where social norms and hierarchies would not be reflected (boyd, 2011; van Dijk, 2006; van Zoonen, 2001; Vickery & Everbach, 2018). It was also speculated that the internet would enhance democracy and provide visibility to marginalized groups and viewpoints; in other words, it was seen as a tool for liberalization (Newey, 1999). Thus, some early scholars believed that the internet and technology could be tools to overcome various inequalities and oppressions. This view represents the so-called technological determinism theory. Technological determinism presumes that technology strongly affects and changes our society. By doing so, it is also assumed that "technology can solve problems that larger social and cultural institutions of sexism, racism, and power have created" (Vickery, 2018, p. 34). However, as critical media scholars have noticed, the internet has become just another space where hierarchies and power relations visible in our society are reinforced and recreated (boyd, 2011; Powell & Henry, 2017; van Zoonen, 2001; Vickery & Everbach, 2018).
In short, as much as the online sphere can promote positive social changes and give voices to marginalized groups, it can also be used to create a hostile environment and promote abusive behaviors. Nowadays, most scholars do not assume that digital technologies are inherently bad or good (Powell & Henry, 2017; van Dijk, 2006), but that these technologies should always be studied in the wider socio-cultural and political contexts, as well as in contexts of their production and consumption (Shaw, 2014).
This debate is even more noticeable with the growing popularity of social media. Social media has influenced society and affected socio-cultural and political changes. The question is to what extent.
There are numerous studies on whether the internet, particularly social media, enhances participation and involvement in political and social changes. According to Fuchs (2018), "social media is a kind of mirror of what is happening in society" (p. 385). Thus, people's social and political involvement can be visible through social media, but the extent of this involvement is complicated to estimate.
Some scholars argued that the internet harms social movements and the political involvement of people. For instance, the ties and relationships between members of socio-political movements are weak, there is also a lack of emotional involvement and hierarchical organization, which are needed in high-risk activism that challenges the status quo (Gladwell, 2010). Social media increases participation level and awareness, but as Morozov (2009) argued, even if the online sphere increases awareness, it is still not enough to solve the problems. Awareness must turn into actions while the online sphere complicates this process and lessens the motivation level to take actions (Gladwell, 2010).
Other scholars, on the other hand, perceived online involvement more positively. They argued that the internet might positively affect participation in social and political issues as it helps to mobilize individuals, for instance, by decreasing participation costs and requesting smaller contributions from participants (Cammaerts, 2015). It also allows faster and more equal distribution as more voices and views have a platform to share their opinions and information (Downing, 2018; Newey, 1999).
Nonetheless, online actions should be accompanied by offline activities. Social media might be an effective supporting tool for collective efforts due to its capacity to reach wider audiences in a shorter time. It also gives ordinary citizens and groups the possibility to increase their visibility without relying on mainstream media (Cammaerts, 2015). Social media also allows people to act globally and advocate for various issues worldwide (Cammaerts, 2015), although global actions are usually less efficient than local ones (Morozov, 2009).
Whether one supports or condemns online activism, animal protection organizations and individuals often turn to social media to advocate animal rights and welfare. Unfortunately, the same can be said about illegal wildlife traffickers and animal abusers.

Animal Rights/Welfare and Social Media – Does Social Media Increase Awareness about Animal Rights or Promote Animal Abuse?
The beginning of the animal rights movement is often associated with Peter Singer's Animal Liberation in 1975, but the movement began in the early 19th century when some started encouraging policies to reduce animal torture and exploitation (Aji, 2019; Munro, 2012). Early animal protection organizations and activists focused mostly on issuing policies to eliminate various forms of animal abuse (Aji, 2019). The debate and goal shifted in the 1970s as the philosophical foundation, based on Peter Singer and Tom Regan's concepts, focused on human and non-human relationships and animals' emotional sentiments (Aji, 2019). Nowadays, animal activists aim to improve animal welfare and conservation and eliminate abusive animal practices through various methods.
It is important to note that the animal movement is not homogenous; various groups have different agendas, goals, and philosophies toward animal rights and welfare. The socio-cultural and political background plays a significant role in the development of animal rights organizations and activism, so the difference between these groups has multiple sources. According to Munro (2012), there are three main orientations among animal protectionists, such as animal welfare, animal liberation, and animal rights, but they all "are united on the principle that animals are sentient beings rather than 'things' to be commodified as food, research tools, or sporting trophies" (p. 169).
Over the last few years, the internet became an important tool for animal rights protectionists, activists, and organizations. Considering the popularity of animals' videos and pictures online, it should not be surprising that activists and organizations will try to increase awareness among social media users about animal issues. As Aji (2019) noted, "social media seems to have a significant influence in the process of forming the collective identity of sympathizers of the animal protection movement" (p. 395).
Animal shelters and rescue organizations often promote their animals and events, which increases adoption. Almost all shelters rely on social media as a fundraising tool, allowing for virtual adoption or general donation.
Animal protection groups also use their websites to increase awareness about animal cruelty and, in general, to inform people about animal welfare. For instance, Polish animal rights organization Otwarte Klatki (eng. Open Cages) uses Facebook and Twitter to document animal abuse and educate about animal welfare, mostly farm animal welfare. The organization aims to introduce social and legal changes in farm animal breeding and treatment through their actions. On their social media profiles, the online petitions and campaigns are promoted; however, to increase their impact on socio-political changes, online actions are organized along with offline activities.
As Morozov (2009) mentioned, increasing awareness is not enough to solve all the problems. It is the same for issues regarding animal rights and welfare. Social media enhances awareness about animal mistreatment, but it does not mean that more people take direct actions to prevent it. Animal organizations may have thousands of followers, but one click on their pages, and it is clear that they still need volunteers and activists to conduct offline actions such as documenting animal abuse, organizing protests, or meeting with politicians.
Social media might contribute to the awareness about animal welfare; however, it can also be used to glorify animal abuse and support illegal trade, especially in the case of wildlife animals. Most social media users have most probably seen videos and pictures of animals, be it companion, farm, or wildlife animals, that perform tricks or engage in human-like behaviors such as scrolling through smartphones or wearing clothes. Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube are full of these kinds of videos and pictures. Many of those are seemingly harmless, even cute and funny, but in reality, some promote animal abuse, and viewers may unintentionally support harmful and illegal practices.
Edes (2019), a primatologist, noticed that videos of primates on social media could be harmful and dangerous for animals and their environment. This is especially important for wildlife as social media has an impact on the perception of wildlife animals, such as slow lorises or chimpanzees, as being suitable for companion pets and decreasing the belief of the endangerment of these animals (Edes, 2019; Leighty et al., 2015 Nekaris et al., 2013).
It might seem that social media posts do not have any real impact on animals' environment and well-being; however, they may impact animal conservation as a reaction to these videos and posts are noticed by traders in the exotic pet trade and increase wildlife trafficking (Edes, 2019). Scholars argued that these videos and pictures affect public perception of wildlife animals, leading to approval of animal mistreatment. Primatologists agreed that posting and sharing videos and pictures showing wildlife animals as companion pets contribute to the exotic pet trade (Cole & Emerson, 2019).
Additionally, it is extremely easy to find videos on social media platforms that glorify animal cruelty. Lady Freethinker, a nonprofit organization, published a report on animal cruelty videos on Youtube. Searching by keywords such as dogfights, eating animals alive, and so on, tons of videos are shown, violating Youtube's regulations (violent and graphic content and animal abuse are prohibited) and animal protection laws in certain countries (Lady Freethinker, 2019). Videos showing animal abuse have thousands of views, which means that some people are profiting from abusing animals; many activists and scholars called social media platforms on their inefficiency in monitoring and banning these kinds of videos and profiles.
The ongoing debate about the role and impact of the internet, social media especially, on the social movement and society has heated in recent years. It is hard to deny that social media is often used to promote animal rights and welfare. Animal protection organizations and activists turn to social media to increase awareness about animal issues and gain supporters. Of course, social media can be helpful, and its influence in the animal movement is obvious, but its impact should not be overestimated; online animal activism cannot replace on-the-street actions and campaigns.
Moreover, researchers also agree that animal abuse and illegal trade, especially in the case of wildlife animals, are increasing due to social media. Social media users may unintentionally support harmful and illegal practices. Edes (2019) mentioned Five Freedoms to help social media users gauge animal welfare in videos or pictures. The Five Freedoms were introduced in 1979 by the UK Farm Animal Welfare Council and are recognized as basic standards in animal welfare. These Five Freedoms are as follow: 1) Freedom from hunger and thirst 2) Freedom from discomfort 3) Freedom from pain, injury, or disease 4) Freedom to express normal behaviors 5) Freedom from fear and distress
If any of these freedoms are violated, the video or picture should be reported and not shared. However, even if reported, it might still not be enough. As many noted, social media platforms themselves are not doing enough to prevent and monitor posts that violate their own regulations and national laws. Allowing these kinds of posts and videos to operate on platforms enables animal cruelty and escalates harmful and illegal activities.

Osea Kolinisau
Born: 17 November, 1985 in Suva, Fiji
An icon of Fijian rugby, having led the sevens team to Olympic glory in Rio in 2016 as well as back-to-back HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series titles in 2015 and 2016.
Kolinisau carried Fiji's flag at the Opening Ceremony in Rio and scored the first of his team's seven tries in the final as they defeated Great Britain 43-7 to win the gold medal – Fiji's first ever Olympic medal of any colour. Later that year, he was nominated for the World Rugby Men's Sevens Player of the Year award only to miss out to South Africa's Seabelo Senatla.
The glue that knit the team together, Kolinisau captained Fiji from 2013-17. In addition to being an inspirational leader, Kolinisau was both a dangerous player in his own right and also very durable. He appeared in a record 62 events for Fiji on the World Series and his tally of 1,272 points is only bettered by fellow World Rugby Hall of Fame inductee Waisale Serevi.
One of his best performances came in the final of the Hong Kong Sevens in 2013, where he stepped off the bench to score a hat-trick of tries and help Fiji secure a famous comeback win against Wales.
Kolinisau retired from top level sevens in May 2017 before trying his hand at 15s in the USA, initially with Houston Sabercats and then briefly for Old Glory DC.

Groß Gaglow, , ist seit der Eingemeindung am 26. Oktober 2003 ein Ortsteil von Cottbus mit etwa 1500 Einwohnern. Davor gehörte die Gemeinde zum Landkreis Spree-Neiße.

Geschichte
Groß Gaglow wurde rund 600 n. Chr. von slawischen Stämmen gegründet.
Laut Götz Frh. von Houwald (Die Niederlausitzer Rittergüter) war Groß Gaglow – ebenso wie das benachbarte Klein Gaglow – eine ritterschaftliche Enklave inmitten der brandenburgischen Herrschaft Kottbus und scheint schon frühzeitig in einen zu Brandenburg gehörenden Anteil und einen der Niederlausitzer (böhmischen bzw. sächsischen) Lehnskurie unterstellten Anteil geteilt worden zu sein, der erst 1815 in den Kottbuser Kreis integriert wurde und bis dahin zum Kreis Spremberg gehört hatte.

1466 war zumindest der brandenburgische Anteil von Groß Gaglow, ebenso wie Klein Gaglow, im Besitz von Siegmund und Hans von dem Berge. Die jeweilige Lehnshoheit ging quer durch das Dorf. Danach scheint das Dorf unter verschiedene Besitzer zerfallen zu sein. Einen Anteil besaßen die von Beier (Beyer), die von Zabeltitz, aber auch seit 1570 die von Pannwitz, die bis Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts dort ansässig sein sollten. Der letzte Pannwitz'sche Besitzer war der Generalmajor Wolf Adolf von Pannwitz, der Groß Gaglow 1730 für 9.200 Taler an seine Schwester Martha Elisabeth verkaufte. Martha Elisabeth war in zweiter Ehe mit dem kursächsischen Obristwachtmeister Heinrich Wilhelm von Köpping verheiratet. Sie veräußerte 1752 Groß Gaglow an Margarethe von Sonntag, geborene von List, wonach das Gut in ihrer zweiten Ehe an die Familie von Massow gelangte und später im Jahre 1788 an Carl Albrecht von Görschen.

1844 hatte das Dorf Groß Gaglow 45 Wohngebäude mit 298 Einwohnern. Das Rittergut befand sich zu dieser Zeit im Besitz von N.N. Scheibner. Aber schon 1856 wird Carl Emil Malin genannt. Er war ein Sohn des königlichen Sanitätsrats und Arztes des Fürsten Pückler-Muskau, Dr. Karl Malin. Über die Tochter von Carl Emil Malin, Elisabeth Detering, scheint ihr Mann Richard Detering in den Besitz gekommen zu sein. Später wird Margarethe Freifrau von Kittlitz als Besitzerin des Restgutes Groß Gaglow genannt und für einen anderen Teil die Familie Brasch. Letztere erscheint noch 1929 als Besitzer. Von 1930 bis zur nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung 1933 bestand in Groß Gaglow unter der Leitung von Martin Gerson die Jüdische Landarbeit GmbH, ein Siedlungsprojekt, das 820 Morgen Land umfasste und im Rahmen der Umschichtung zur landwirtschaftlichen Ausbildung von jüdischen Jugendlichen vorgesehen war.

Im Jahr 1957 wurde in Groß Gaglow eine Gärtnerische Produktionsgenossenschaft (GPG) gegründet. Aus dieser ist der heutige Gartenbaubetrieb Floralia hervorgegangen.

Wirtschaft

In Groß Gaglow befindet sich der "Lausitz Park", ein Einkaufszentrum mit einer Vielzahl von Geschäften und Schnellrestaurants. Auch mehrere Autohäuser und ein Multiplex-Kino (UCI-Kinowelt) befinden sich in Groß Gaglow. Des Weiteren verfügt Groß Gaglow über eine eigene Freiwillige Feuerwehr, die unter die Trägerschaft der Berufsfeuerwehr Cottbus gestellt ist.

Bevölkerung

Für seine Statistik über die sorbische Bevölkerung in der Lausitz ermittelte Arnošt Muka in den achtziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts für Groß Gaglow eine Bevölkerungszahl von 462 Einwohnern, davon waren 412 Sorben (89 %) und 50 Deutsche.

Groß Gaglow in der Literatur
Groß Gaglow spielt in Esther Freuds autobiografischem Roman Sommer in Gaglow (1998) die Hauptrolle. Die Autorin, eine Urenkelin des Begründers der Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freud und Tochter des Malers Lucian Freud, erzählt die Geschichte der jungen Engländerin Sarah, die sich auf die Suche nach ihren deutschen Ahnen begibt.

The weather was cooooold in the morning so we ended up having a tea party full of imagination. Slma dressed the girls in cozy, chic Gymboree knitted outfits. I love how Amira rummaged in her playroom accessories and added a sparkly belt, tiara, plush orange shoes, and gloves.
I loved how this one shows her true personality.
This one I loved also as she greeted Rania after a nap by jumping right into her crib and started to bounce. Rania was thrilled. Gallery belows shows her excitement.
My Favourite Rania Photo: She climbed up onto a chair and laid her head onto the table on top of a puzzle to get a minute of rest. She took a nap soon after.

Global Kids thoughtfully partners with schools to offer an array of services and programs that advance school goals and fulfill our mission to develop active global citizens who are prepared to engage and succeed in our ever-changing world. We work predominantly in middle and high schools in underserved communities, but do provide special services and training in elementary schools as well.
During the school day, Global Kids is able to provide academic enrichment/classroom residencies in collaboration with classroom teachers; one to one and group counseling for students; advisory workshops; college exploration and support services; attendance outreach; parent engagement activities, service-learning programs, and more.
During the out of school time/extended day, Global Kids provides its award-winning programs, which combine youth development, leadership development, global awareness, and civic engagement. These programs range from our flagship Power of Citizenry Leadership Program to our College and Career Readiness Program to our game design and other Digital Learning and Leadership Programs.
Funding for school-based programs includes support from 21st Century Community Learning Centers, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, United Way of New York City and National Capital Area, individual school budgets, and other sources. Global Kids is also the lead partner in six NYC Department of Education Community Schools
For more information on partnering with Global Kids, please contact Director of Programs Yvonne Brathwaite at yvonne@globalkids.org
Global Kids' flagship after school program, the Power of Citizenry, was launched in 1995, and has grown to involve over 800 youth each year, engaging them in international affairs, civic participation and opportunities for social action. Weekly workshops are grounded in our participants' interests and concerns about their own communities and global issues facing our society. They learn about current events, foreign policy, and human rights issues, and create projects to address issues they care about. Youth shape the content, structure, and goals of the program, and our expert staff give them the confidence, skills, and tools they need to make an impact.
Funded through 21st Century Community Learning Centers and OSSE in DC, the Global Kids Summer Institute brings together youth from our school year programs at Anacostia HS, Ballou HS, McKinley Tech, and Dunbar HS for an intensive summer learning program which focuses on leadership, social justice, global citizenship, and civic engagement. Participants develop service-learning projects, explore arts and activism, engage in international affairs content, and develop critical skills which bolster their critical thinking, literacy, and other 21st Century skills.
Funded by the Department of Employment Services, and run through a special partnership between Global Kids-DC and the Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute (MBYLI), the Global Education Program is a year-round program that trains youth in global affairs and exposes them to careers in international affairs. Aligned with Global Kids' mission, the Global Education Program aims to develop youth leaders for the global stage. Program participants are trained through weekly workshops during the School Year Program and a Summer Intensive Training institute that engages youth in meaningful international affairs content and career paths. After successful completion of the school year and summer programs, youth are also given the opportunity to apply and participate in a two-week international trip. In the summer of 2015, 2016, and 2017, students visited South Africa in culminating activities, designed to synthesize their leadership skills and career futures.
Global Kids participants have traveled to conferences and events around the United States and trained peers in over 30 countries. Each year, our youth have the opportunity to travel to places as diverse as Costa Rica, Croatia, Denmark, Eritrea, Haiti, Japan, Kenya, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Peru, South Africa, and more.
Each year, a team of Global Kids youth design an Annual Youth Conference around a topic of local and global importance. At conferences in both Washington, DC and New York City, youth work together to identify and secure plenary and guest speakers, organize performances, and design and facilitate peer-education workshops for hundreds of attendees.
Global Kids programming significantly increases a young person's chances of graduating from high school and attending college. Participants get an early start on college applications, explore academic and career options, get inspired about their futures and succeed in today's increasingly globalized workplace. Global Kids provides youth with ongoing support and mentoring with activities like one-on-one college counseling sessions, college exploration workshops, goal setting, career days at corporate and government offices, panels with professionals from multiple sectors, resume building workshops, interviewing skill sessions, and college tours.

Hell for many, a true return to real life for others.
How can we consider Internet and new technologies?
A boon or on the contrary as a burden?
It is quite clear that it raises question in a society that is going faster and further but also which is seeking for equilibrium between what it knows and what it wants.
Internet was first used by the American Army in the sixties and then it was popularized in the nineties the we talk about "the worldwide web".
In 2000, 368 540 computers around the world were connected and in 2014 there were more than 1 billion websites.
For many this new technology doesn't respond to all wishes.
Indeed, the dangers are numerous and it is not worth bearing them.
-Blackmailing: people often answer fake websites and give some personal datas, if they want to regain some privacy they have to pay for it.
-Hacking: many people have given their personal and financial datas because they thought they were talking to their banks, in fact it was a hacker.
-Fake profiling: many companies and love websites propose fake profile where people are improving some parts of their lives: either professional with better diplomas or better physical appearance.
-Addictions: Before people had to go to Casinos or to tobacco dealers to play, now they just have to be connected to gamble, nobody can stop them. Teenagers are often addicted to online game like: league of legends, warcraft etc. People lose their marks and forget their surroundings.
-Inappropriate comments: very often on the web there are some racial or sexually oriented comments which can hurt or which are illegal and the moderators are not very efficient.
-llegal uploading: movie goers are no longer going to the cinema; they can upload recent movies on streaming. Some artists prefer to use platforms to release their albums but very often you just have to go on deezer or youtube to listen to their new album. Less profits for major music companies, less money for artists which can lead to less creativity.
-End of family life: children are texting instead of talking to their parents at dinner time for instance, they don't read books anymore they just watch videos or listen to e-books on their computers, they don't really think when they have homeworks to do they just copy the analysis of wikipedia and they know how to play but can't use all the softwares.
-Cheaper: than buying books to find information, or going to a travel agency to book a flight, a hotel room.
- Faster: than waiting for the next lesson at school, to get the answers to a question, to discover history.
-Better: than some books that were written long ago and which don't take into account what is going on in the world today.
You can watch a program on your computer, you can use chromcast to watch it on a larger screen, you can see new movies thanks to streaming sites and therefore make some savings because you don't go to the cinema very expensive nowadays). you can even shut the curtains when you are at work thanks to your mobile.
Parents can see your mark on the web, you can do researches, follow MOOC (massive open online courses), you can learn many things without a teacher, you can find a school, a country or some parts of history very quickly with many details.
Children can work on computers and be more independent.
At home sport is available with different apps, you can improve your health with apps that are counting your steps for example.
You can read books and you don't need space to stock them.
You can travel without moving and if you want so you can book easily and fast.
food, books, clothes, various electronic items, concerts seats, everything is at reach with a simple connection.


In Cumbria, the LSCB Child Death Overview Panel analyses the historical deaths to establish the demographic issues and identifies any key themes.
One of these key themes is the risk factors for Sudden Unexpected death in Infancy (SUDI). Despite public health campaigns and involvement of universal services in parental education, the following risk factors are still identified in cases categorised as SUDI.
It's not known why some babies die suddenly and for no apparent reason from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or cot death. Advice for parents and cares from NHS Choices states the following. "Experts do know placing a baby to sleep on their back reduces the risk, and exposing a baby to cigarette smoke or allowing them to overheat increases the risk. It's also known there is an association between co-sleeping (sleeping with your baby on a bed, sofa or chair) and SIDS.
For every sleep episode a baby should be on a FIRM, FLAT AND WATERPROOF place to sleep.
Its possible using a dummy at the start of a sleep also reduces the risk of SIDS. However, the evidence is not strong and not all experts agree that dummies should be promoted.
If you do use a dummy, don't start until breastfeeding is well established. This is usually when they're around one month old. Stop giving them the dummy when they're between 6 and 12 months old.
Babies often have minor illnesses, which you don't need to worry about. Give your baby plenty of fluids to drink and don't let them get too hot. If your baby sleeps a lot, wake them up for regularly for a drink.
It can be difficult to judge whether an illness is more serious and needs urgent medical attention. See spotting the signs of serious illness on the NHS Choices website for guidance on when to get help.

Gallo Pinto Fueled Fools Zig-zagging Through Nicaragua
We ended up on a slide-at-your-own-risk water slide. It was 0-60 mph in a half-second, not sure our bodies even made contact with the slide on the way down and we hit the water at 4Gs shooting my bikini and Ville's shorts to the four corners of the pool as we skipped along the surface of the water at the bottom of the slide. What a ride! But first...
After a roller-coaster of ass-kicking hills of Guatemala, followed by sweltering temps in the hundreds through El Salvador and Honduras low-lands, we coasted into Nicaragua where the temps dropped into the 90's and our spirits lifted. With the soaring temperatures, Ville and I were pounding water like crazy (drinking over 8 liters of water a day), but watching it pour out our pores before it ever made it through our bodies. I had to tackle a super painful bladder infection, "staying out of the sun" (actually biking all day IN the sun), waking up at 4 am to try and beat the heat, struggling to find accommodation during Easter party no available affordable lodging celebration week, riding nasty patched together shoulder-less pavement packed with high-speed aggressive drivers, and all while also struggling with food allergies I haven't been able to eliminate since Mexico. It was rough folks. We took reprieve from the mid-day heat in American fast food chain establishments because they were the only places with consistent WiFi and air conditioning (my refusal to enter a fast food joint went right out the window when we had hit our lowest lows). Our saving grace was the Central American people.
When we were on the side of the road, me in heaps of pain, a family took us into their restaurant and took Ville on their motorbike to get antibiotics. Again when the infection came back on the side of the road, another family gave us a ride to the pharmacy and refused to take payment. Where Americans live in their cars and roads are only for travel, Mexicans and Central Americans live on roads; walking, biking, in horse-drawn carts, waiting for buses, sitting on porches, lying in hammocks, pushing carts, pedaling rickshaws, motoring moto-taxis, sitting in snack stands, selling fruit, soda, water, gas, you name it. Our entire days are filled with passing people, smiling and saying hello. There is the occasional person who looks past me or through me, but most everyone smiles. And says hello. And safe journey. And for that moment when we look each other in the eye and smile, I hope it makes that moment, their day, their week a bit better. It makes this whole ride worth every mile.
Once we crossed into Honduras, we noticed that where the fields stretched out for miles on either side of the road, loads of people had built shacks in the 7 meters or so of land between the road and field to try and sell fruits or vegetables that came from the fields to people passing by. Where stable (or as stable as can be) governments bring investors, which in turn bring tourism and money to some of Honduras's surrounding countries, Honduras has not found the same stability and more of it's people in the rural areas between towns, seem to just be surviving. One would expect (especially if you follow news), Honduras to be super dangerous and many cyclists opt to rush through or skip it altogether. But we found the same kindness from people as we did everywhere else we have traveled.
Once we crossed over into Nicaragua and the roads became beautiful, freshly paved roads with a giant shoulder, we cruised into Chinandega and were tipped off by some locals about a sweet water park complete with a slide-at-your-own-risk water slide. It was 0-60 mph in a half-second, not sure our bodies even made contact with the slide on the way down and we hit the water at 4Gs shooting my bikini and Ville's shorts to the four corners of the pool as we skipped along the surface of the water at the bottom of the slide. What a ride! The next day we rolled out early and had a pretty easy day to Leon. Leon is a colonial city, fairly touristy being close to the beach and volcanoes, but we enjoyed walking the streets and seeing the sights. We were able to catch the Barcelona vs Juventus Champions League Quarter Final game and although Barcelona lost, was nice to sit in a bar with other tourists excited to see the game. On our day off there, we made it out to a shop for me to find a new bra to replace my busted (no pun intended) one. For those following our ride, you may remember the goat trail from hell we ended up skidding and falling down on at Lake Atitlan. Well, on that same glorious day and moment of suffrage, my beloved bra, which had a zipper down the front, decided to pop open thanks to all the sweat rusting apart the zipper and leaving me flopping in the breeze WHILE skidding on my ass down the hill. Oh times we look back on now and laugh at.
While out bra shopping, Ville and I ran into Marie-Eve, a friend we had biked with a bit on the northern California coast and whom we had no idea now lived in Leon! What are the odds we happen to run into her the day before she was flying back to Canada on our one day off in Leon in a bra shop?! Was nice to catch up with an old friend and take some down time before hitting the road early again heading for Managua. We had the plan to find a cheap motel outside the city, but after many failed attempts, we found ourselves in the city, patching Ville's flat tire, going from full hostel to full hostel before the kindest German man, Manfred, at La Pyramide Hotel, took us in and gave us a beautiful room for two nights. He even drove us up to the non-active volcano in town to show us the city. We walked down into town through a park where we watched a full court of guys in wheel chairs playing basketball and a women's basketball game. Was really inspiring!
After our much needed rest day in paradise (thank you SO much Manfred for your kindness!), we were back on the bikes and decided on an easy day into Laguna Apoyo, where we were excited to finally get to swimmable non-polluted water south of the American border! We climbed up to the crater and had a steep decent to the water where we, again, went door to door at "obscenely priced eco hostels" that wanted over $40 USD and up a night, and only allowed camper vans, not tents, to stay at their places. Lucky for us we ran into David, hitchhiking backpacker from Germany, who helped us to find a no-name place that quoted us $10 a night for a closet with a mini-fan. As soon as all our bags and bikes were jammed into the closet of a room, she told us it would be $10 each, and as we packed up to leave, she felt sorry for us and allowed us to stay for $10.
Sundays are family days in Latin American countries and since it was a Sunday, the locals beach was packed with drunks and families and we thoroughly enjoyed our refreshing dip in the lagoon (although give it a few years and that place will be completely unswimmable and dead for sure). It was pretty depressing to see how the handful of hotels and hostels have claimed the beachfront for only tourists in their establishment, pushing the locals to the one completely separated beach we swam at. We could feel the resentment from the locals and who can blame them? We did enjoy watching the wild howler monkeys swinging from the trees above hucking mangoes at rooftops, feeding the baby squirrel at our place and even Ville enjoyed conversing with a Giant Macaw who was able to say, "Hello."
Since our closet room only had a tiny bed, Ville slept on his blow-up mattress on the floor and at dawn as the howler monkeys started growling like lions, we packed and had a very humid, sweaty couple mile ride up to the rim of the crater. We did pass a bunch of locals walking down the hill dressed in resort shirts on their way to work and because we made the move to say Hello, most of them were really friendly. It was a short easy downhill into Granada this morning and after watching a school parade, we are staying out of the heat and catching up with all you fine folks out there. Because Costa Rica will be quite a bit more pricey than Nicaragua, we are planning to spend a few more days here in this country before crossing into Costa Rica and making our way to San Jose where we will fly to Portland and Bend for a couple weeks to celebrate our making it to the "half-way" point of our journey. YAY! And for those not in the know, May 11th, Crow's Feet Commons, Bend, Oregon, 6-8 pm. Be there or be square! And until then, keep on keepin' on ya'll...

all windows - if I have only one in a workspace - is minimized if I start MC. If I close MC and save the workspaces all my windows are maximized.
Why are they on start minimized? So I need to maximize it every day manually. Chartwindows and QM window.
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. Could you please contact us through LiveChat (6:30 am - 4:00 pm EST) to show us the problem via HelpDesk, a remote desktop control utility?
I am working and can't shut down MC, to show it.
We still haven't been able to reproduce the problem.
I've got one question, though: after you open the workspace, maximize it, work with it, and then close it, do you save the changes?
When I exit MC, I click on the "X" at the right top corner of the program, then select to save every wsp.
do you save the changes?
Save changes to file "akt"?

Thank you dupl and TJ for reporting the bug.


The REM 16MT multi-turn encoder features energy harvesting technology for battery-free multi-turn functionality. A magnetic hall effect-based sensor combined with an N/S magnet mounted on the rotating shaft serves as the main source of angle information. The single-turn position is absolute, low-latency and timestamped, so it is well suited both for motor commutation and positioning applications. The sensor comes with on-board signal processing, providing signal filtering functions and calibration routines. Its working principle is robust and widely resistant to external magnetic fields.


I'm think about lowering my car.. but i don't know how much by, i've got 15" alloys and want the low euro look..
60mm ok? or can i go lower? or will it srub anway..?
depends what ofset your wheels are?
wheels are softstars.. thing offset ir 45 or 49 ain't they?
want a nice low look.. all standard bumbers so not worried about tht srubbage but what abour arches?
wont scrub. 60mm for looks.
ok, but i can never find cheap sus, thats decent that lowers alot..
60mm mate will be enough.
If you want a low look, i would recommend 60mm but be prepared for unconfortable harsh ride.
On coilovers you can play and toy with what ride height you want, this may be the best option for you..
Mines down 60, check the garage..
SA corsa - fk's dont go 120mm.....your front looks no lower than 70 - 80.....anything over 100mm is just stupid...the exhaust will rub the floor, the rear beam will nearly point upwards!!!
john g id say yours is 60-70ish at the back......???


We all want really good results, right? What we get (result) is usually a function of what we do, and what we do is usually a function of how we see our situation.
To make improvement in any or all of those, we need to spend a little time thinking about that sequence. Do you take adequate time to reflect on how you see your situation and what you do about it?
"See--Do--Get--Reflect" might be worth you taking a few moments and reflecting on how often and how deeply you consider this sequence!


Shanghai (Gasgoo)-Ford Auto is continuing to launch new products and research on new technologies in domestic market since its entry. It's learned that Changan Ford held a start-up activity on new project development center in Chongqing on October 18th, announcing to invest a total RMB 800m to expand the center and further strengthen Changan Ford's product development capabilities and testing abilities, so as to lift product qualities for domestic vehicles and promote technologies of key parts including engines and gearboxes as well.
Established in 2001, Changan Ford Project Development Center always provides technical supports for Changan Ford products. The center will invest in a series of auto testing and trial equipment, in accordance with Ford global project standards. The built facilities will greatly promote Changan Ford's testing capabilities in vehicles, engines, gearboxes and parts. The operation of the mostly eye-catching wind tunnel laboratory, which is a globally advanced environmental and aeroacoustics lab, will promote Changan Ford's development quality and efficiency greatly.
In fact, Changan auto made a five-year plan on domestic market in 2015, planning to invest RMB 11.4b to strengthen its R&D capabilities in the market and launch 20 models by the year 2020. The new plan will focus on self-independent R&D capabilities and promote progress in domestic products, alternative energy area and intelligent vehicles. The expansion on Chongqing Project R&D center is an important step in the new strategy, providing technical storage for the on-coming alternative energy era.

Q: Optional Synchronous Interface to Asynchronous Functions I'm writing a library which is using Tornado Web's tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient to make requests which gives my code a async interface of:
async def my_library_function():
    return await ...

I want to make this interface optionally serial if the user provides a kwarg - something like: serial=True. Though you can't obviously call a function defined with the async keyword from a normal function without await. This would be ideal - though almost certain imposible in the language at the moment:
async def here_we_go():
    result = await my_library_function()
    result = my_library_function(serial=True)

I'm not been able to find anything online where someones come up with a nice solution to this. I don't want to have to reimplement basically the same code without the awaits splattered throughout.
Is this something that can be solved or would it need support from the language?

Solution (though use Jesse's instead - explained below)
Jesse's solution below is pretty much what I'm going to go with. I did end up getting the interface I originally wanted by using a decorator. Something like this:
import asyncio
from functools import wraps

def serializable(f):
    @wraps(f)
    def wrapper(*args, asynchronous=False, **kwargs):
        if asynchronous:
            return f(*args, **kwargs)
        else:
            # Get pythons current execution thread and use that
            loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
            return loop.run_until_complete(f(*args, **kwargs))
    return wrapper

This gives you this interface:
result = await my_library_function(asynchronous=True)
result = my_library_function(asynchronous=False)

I sanity checked this on python's async mailing list and I was lucky enough to have Guido respond and he politely shot it down for this reason:

Code smell -- being able to call the same function both asynchronously
  and synchronously is highly surprising. Also it violates the rule of
  thumb that the value of an argument shouldn't affect the return type.

Nice to know it's possible though if not considered a great interface. Guido essentially suggested Jesse's answer and introducing the wrapping function as a helper util in the library instead of hiding it in a decorator.

A: When you want to call such a function synchronously, use run_until_complete:
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(here_we_go())

Of course, if you do this often in your code, you should come up with an abbreviation for this statement, perhaps just:
def sync(fn, *args, **kwargs):
    return asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(fn(*args, **kwargs))

Then you could do:
result = sync(here_we_go)

A vibrant centre for new ideas and conversations
In 2008, Melbourne was designated a UNESCO City of Literature and with that, the grand vision of establishing a vibrant hub of books, writing and ideas; a home for talks, public programs, storytelling and conversations that really matter.
For Arts Victoria, we were commissioned to create the brand, the marketing material and all the design requirements to launch the Wheeler Centre. Today, the Centre is such an integral part of our cultural scene, that we cannot imagine our city without it.
