A site consultant retained to evaluate the local climate for industrial development and recommend target sectors for recruiting purposes graded the Muskogee market more generously than business leaders.
TadZo Consulting, a site-selection and economic-development firm based in Yakima, Wash., facilitated an economic development seminar sponsored earlier this year by the Muskogee City-County Port Authority. The event offered some insight about the factors site consultants consider when determining whether a community would be a good fit for a company's expansion or relocation plans.
Participants who attended the seminar assigned letter grades for 10 factors typically considered during the site evaluation process employed by companies considering expansion or relocation plans. On a 4-point scale, seminar participants awarded an overall score of 2.06, a solid C, meaning they saw the Muskogee market as neither competitive nor fundamentally lacking when it comes to courting new companies.
TadZo consultants delved a little deeper during a subsequent study, the findings of which were released in June, evaluating 18 factors instead of 10. Consultants awarded an overall grade of 2.93, or a B-, meaning the area has some competitive advantages, but some key elements are missing.
Port authority directors retained TadZo Consulting to conduct a "bottom-up assessment" of the Muskogee market from the perspective of site consultants. The analysis will be used to develop a strategic recruiting plan to lure companies looking for what the immediate area has to offer and what is needed.
While the overall scores varied somewhat, the areas of concern cited by consultants in June and business leaders in January overlapped to some extent. Business leaders cited a need for improvement when it comes to the availability of real estate, human capital and resources conducive to innovation while consultants cited training resources for human capital and the lack of a communitywide sustainability plan as shortcomings.
With regard to training resources for prospective workers, consultants found "no direct pipeline of specific skills with local employers." While local educational institutions exist locally, consultants found them "to be underutilized" when it comes to providing opportunities "to significantly enhance skill development to world-class competitive levels."
Consultants awarded a C to the Muskogee market with regard to the available labor pool and cited four factors that make it difficult to attract new talent. Those factors include "a tight housing market, limited retail and amenities" along with "very poor" curb appeal and concerns about the quality of elementary and secondary education.
Transportation by rail and water, the Port of Muskogee and the local business climate earned the highest rankings, all of which earned an A- from TadZo consultants. Business leaders also scored those factors highly, but they awarded nothing higher than a B+ for any of the factors evaluated during the January seminar.


text: Q: Visualize Skeleton I have positional data of 24 joints which I want to visualize. I am able to read in the data into a pandas data frame. But I am not sure how to do the visualization. I am able to plot the points in a scatter plot with matplotlib, but I am still looking for an elegant way to draw the lines, because not all joints are connected. I know which ones are connected, but implementing it seems very tedious. One way of doing this I thought was to have a 24x24 matrix with entries 0 if the two joints are not connected and 1 if the two joints are connected. Such a matrix I can easily type out myself. But I am not sure how to use this then to plot the lines.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate for the July 14 poll, Kolapo Olusola, on Wednesday, got approval from the election Tribunal sitting in Ado-Ekiti, state capital, to serve notice of Petition, and other accompanying processes it filed to challenge the declaration of All Progressives Congress (APC)'s John Kayode Fayemi as winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), by conspicuous pasting and courier services.
This was coming following an affidavit by the Bailiff of the Tribunal stating that he could not effect personal service of the Petition to the 2nd and 3rd Respondents which are APC and Fayemi respectively as the party's office in Ajilosun area of Ado Ekiti has been under lock and key while the 3rd Respondent, is currently out of the country.
The PDP, through its legal team, headed by Yusuf Ali SAN, filed a motion Ex-parte pursuant to paragraphs 8 (2), 47 (1), ( 2), and 54 of the electoral Act , 2010( as amended), Order 6, rule 5 of the Federal High Court.
" And/or by serving the Petition and its accompaniments and other subsequent processes filed by the Petitioners in this Petition by pasting i.e notice put up at a conspicuous place at the Ekiti State Secretariat of the 2nd Respondents at No 156, Ajilosun Street, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
" And/or by serving the Petition and its accompaniments and other subsequent processes filed by the Petitioners in the Petition by pasting i.e notice out up at a conspicuous Not ice Board at he Ekiti Stay High Court Premises, Ado Ekiti Judicial Division, Ekiti State.
" And /or in the alternative, leave of the tribunal to serve the Petition and its accompaniments outside the jurisdiction by delivering same at the National Head office of 2nd respondent APC,at 40, Blantrye street, off Adetokunbo Ademola streets, Wuse II , Abuja, FCT via courier service by a registered courier company and other and valid and proper service on the 2nd and 3rd Respondents respectively.
However, Adewale also sought for abridgement of the time for the 2nd and 3rd Respondents, to respond not later than 14 days from the date of service.
This Adewale did on the grounds that their lordships of the Tribunal have the discretion and power to abridge the time for respondents as sought by PDP counsel. He also urged the Tribunal to be mindful of the time limitation of the case and on the need to ensure justice is served on all parties.
In their ruling, the Tribunal granted prayer(s) 2 (a), (c) and (d) as contained in the motion exparte which is to paste the Petition and accompany processes at a conspicuous place in the premises of the Tribunal in Ado Ekiti, and as well send same via a registered courier service to the National Headquarters of the APC in Abuja.
The Tribunal, however, did not grant the service of Petition notice to the APC Secretariat in Ajilosun in Ado-Ekiti as it noted that the office has been under lock and key.
The Tribunal found out that other prayers contained in the motion had been taken care of by the grant of prayers 2(a), (c) and (d).

text:
El vicari general (antigament ardiaca) és el diputat principal del bisbe d'una diòcesi per a l'exercici de l'autoritat administrativa i posseeix el títol de corrent ordinari. Com a vicari del bisbe, el vicari general exerceix el poder executiu ordinari del bisbe sobre tota la diòcesi i, per tant, és el màxim oficial d'una diòcesi o d'una altra església particular després del bisbe diocesà o del seu equivalent en dret canònic. El títol normalment només passa a les esglésies cristianes occidentals, com ara l'Església llatina de l'Església catòlica i la comunió anglicana. Entre les esglésies orientals, l'Església de Kerala, Mar Thoma Syria, utilitza aquest títol i continua sent una excepció. El títol per a l'oficial equivalent a les esglésies orientals és Syncellus i Protosyncellus.

El terme és utilitzat per molts ordes religiosos d'homes d'una manera similar, designant l'autoritat en l'Orde després del seu superior general.

Església catòlica
A l'església catòlica un bisbe ha de nomenar almenys un vicari general al seu bisbat, però en pot nomenar més d'un. El vicari general en virtut d'oficina és l'agent del bisbe a l'administració, que actua com a segon al comandament per a assumptes executius diocesans. Un sacerdot en un despatx separat, el vicari judicial, compleix un paper similar pel que fa a l'exercici del poder judicial ordinari de governança a la diòcesi que normalment s'exerceix en els tribunals eclesiàstics. Els vicaris generals han de ser sacerdots, bisbes auxiliars o coadjutor bisbes: si existeix un bisbe coadjutor per a una diòcesi, el bisbe diocesà ha de nomenar-lo com a vicari general. Altres bisbes auxiliars solen ser nomenats vicaris generals o almenys vicaris episcopals. Un vicari general és ordinari i, com a tal, adquireix els seus poders en virtut d'oficina i no per delegació. Es posseeix un doctorat o almenys una llicenciatura en dret canònic (JCL, JCD) o teologia (STL, STD) o ser veritablement expert en aquests camps.

El vicari episcopal, igualment titulat, comparteix en el poder executiu ordinari del bisbe com el vicari general, tret del fet que l'autoritat del vicari episcopal normalment s'estén només a una secció geogràfica particular d'una diòcesi o sobre determinats assumptes específics. Aquests podrien incloure qüestions relatives als instituts religiosos o als fidels d'un ritu diferent. Aquests també han de ser sacerdots o bisbes auxiliars. L'oficial equivalent a les Esglésies Orientals s'anomena Syncellus.

Els sacerdots designats com vicaris general o vicaris episcopals són designats o eliminats lliurement pel bisbe diocesà, i són designats per un temps fix. Perden la seva oficina quan expira el termini, o quan la seu episcopal queda vacant. Els bisbes auxiliars també poden ser retirats de l'oficina del vicari general, però almenys ha de ser nomenat vicari episcopal. Un bisbe auxiliar que és un vicari episcopal o un bisbe coadjutor que és vicari general només pot ser retirat del càrrec per una greu raó. De la mateixa manera, mentre perden el càrrec de vicari general o vicari episcopal de la seu, vacants, conserven els poders de l'oficina -especialment, aquells poders que encara es poden exercir mentre la seu és vacant- fins que el bisbe successor assumeixi la diòcesi. Un bisbe coadjutor té dret a la successió, de manera que si la verda es deixa vacant, es converteix immediatament en el bisbe diocesà. Aquestes oficines no s'han de confondre amb el vicari forà o "degà / arxipreste", ja que aquests vicaris no tenen poder executiu ordinari.

El nomenament d'un vicari general és també una eina útil per al bisbe diocesà que té funcions addicionals vinculades al seu episcopat. L'exemple més notable és a la diòcesi de Roma. El Papa és "d'ofici" el bisbe diocesà de Roma, però passa la major part del seu temps governant l'Església Llatina i l'Església Catòlica mundial. El seu vicari general, per tant, funciona com a bisbe de facto de la diòcesi. El vicari general de Roma també serveix el mateix paper per a la diòcesi suburbana d'Ostia, la tradicional figura del degà del Col·legi dels cardenals, des que es va fusionar amb la diòcesi de Roma. El vicari general de Roma, que normalment és cardenal, conegut com a cardenal vicari, és un dels pocs responsables de l'església a Roma per romandre a la seu de l'oficina vacant. L'actual Vicari General de Roma és el cardenal Angelo De Donatis.

Un exemple similar es troba als Estats Units. L'arquebisbe de Nova York també funcionava com a ordinari dels serveis militars de la Primera Guerra Mundial fins als anys 80: a més de ser responsable de l'arxidiòcesi de Nova York, el mateix arquebisbe també era responsable de l'Ordinariat Militar. Això tenia l'estatut de vicariat apostòlic, i funcionava com a equivalent a una diòcesi definida per la qualitat (és a dir, tots els membres catòlics dels militars dels EUA i els seus dependents) i no per la geografia. L'arquebisbe tenia dues administracions separades, per tant, i dos conjunts de vicaris generals per administrar cadascun. Aquest acord va acabar amb l'establiment de l'arxidiòcesi totalment separada per als Serveis Militars, EUA.

Església d'Anglaterra
Els vicaris generals conserven importants funcions administratives i judicials a l'Església d'Anglaterra.

Seguint l'Acta de supremacia de 1534, Enric VIII va designar a Thomas Cromwell com el seu vicari general, una delegació de les potències amb les quals Enric va ser investit per la Llei a conseqüència de convertir-se en cap suprem de l'Església d'Anglaterra.

Because it's very hard to go from 70 km/hr to dead stopped.
I've checked as carefully as I (reasonably) to see if this idea has been posted before, so please bear with me.
I recently had the bad luck to be involved in a car accident as follows: I am on the freeway travelling at 70 k's, the car in fronts brake lights come on, so I go to slow down, only to realise that he has in fact STOPPED !. I slam on the brakes and stop just in time, only to be slammed from behind by someone who obviously didn't (stop in time that it).
What I'm thinking of is some sort of doppler radar, linked to a computer monitoring your own cars speed to calculate whether the car in front has in fact fully stopped, or indeed is closed to being stopped.
This system would only activate when your car was going in excess of say 60 k/hr, to avoid it sounding every 5 minutes.
Mercedes-Benz has something similar to this.
You didn't even say what the computer would do with the information.
It would need to work out the speed of a vehicle in front of you by determining its relative speed less your own cars absolute speed (with reference to Einstein's theory of Special Relativity).
That didn't answer what I said, but I think I get it now (I didn't understand the last paragraph before), you mentioned something about a sound in the last paragraph, so I'm assuming that it will make some kind of noise.
You should clarify, and elaborate on that.
I think this is definitely a good idea, but I think that it is probably close enough to an existing technology. The technology is not, however, widely known to exist.
Isn't this a variant on the application of the adaptive cruise control?
It looks like your idea is merely an indicator that warns the vehicle ahead has a significantly different velocity from your own. I'd have it stab the brakes.
Good idea, I want to say its currently being baked by Mercedes and Ford (Ford actually) but I havent the links to back up my claim.
The way I would have it work would be for the system to limit your speed, so that your (calculated) stopping distance is ~90% of the distance in front of you (or maybe 4m les than the distance). Whether it involves cruise control, rev limiter and/or braking system is the complicated bit, but this way it will maintain a correct speed under all traffic conditions (traction measurements, rain sensors, etc come extra).
Thanks BJS, I was thinking that it would be a system that would be an add on a standard car and would provide an audible alarm. I don't like the idea of a computer taking over control of the car's brakes.

AirAsia Plane Overshoots Runway in Philippines
(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) An AirAsia flight in the Philippines on Tuesday overshot a runway while landing in bad weather, but none of the 159 passengers and crew was injured, dpa quoted airport officials as saying.
The Airbus A320 was buffeted by strong winds as it landed at the airport in Kalibo town in Aklan province, 360 kilometres south of Manila.
The flight had been delayed for two hours in Manila as it waited for better weather in Kalibo, which was being affected by tropical storm Jangmi.
Passengers and crew evacuated the plane using emergency slides.
Operations at the Kalibo airport, a busy jump-off point to the Philippines' top beach destination, Boracay Island, were suspended to allow for the plane's removal.

In addition to the War Memorial for St. Mark's that Thomas undertook (mentioned in more detail under War Memorials), he was also approached for his sculptural skills in decorating the Church in a sensitive and appropriate manner, by Mr Blomfield, who was the Architect.
Subsequently, the Church was embellished with a series of panels, each carved in marble by Thomas. These three, a central panel and two side ones formed a tryptich.
The central and largest panel takes the Crucifixion as its theme. Thomas describes it in his notes as: 'Christ on the cross, on the left, Mary his mother, supported by Mary of Cleopas and on the right St. John'.
To the left of this panel, a smaller one features St George and the Dragon. To the right of the main panel, is one of St Stephen, the first Martyr. Beyond the marble panels, to right and left were painted wings, planned and executed by Thomas, in keeping with the inspiration and request of the Vicar of St Mark's at the time, W G Pennyman 1918-1938. On the left wings, there is the "Call to Arms" and "Joining Up". On the right wings there are the paintings of "Sacrifice" and "Victory".
On 28th December 1919, the Vicar had written to Thomas about his suggestions, which were then incorporated into his work.
In 1929, Thomas was again asked to share his skill as a sculptor. This time, it was the Angel Lectern, in Bronze, on a carved wooden plinth. Sadly, I understand this was stolen from St Mark's in 1977.

KYKOTSMOVI, Ariz. — After over 15 years at the Kykotsmovi Village building the HEEF moved to House #2 located on the former campus of the Hopi Mission School.
Hamana was elected as president in the fall of 2018. She is joined by other officers that include Dr. Angela Gonzales, vice president, Stephanie Parker, treasurer and Dr. Pam Powell, secretary. The HEEF also welcomed new and renewing members to the organization: Tim Evans, Dr. Laura Huenneke, Dr. Carrie Joseph, Stephanie Parker, Kevin Poleyumptewa, Shon Quannie, April Sewequaptewa Tutt, Verrin Kewenvoyouma and Terri Honani.
Preparations are underway for the 2019 Silent Auction that takes place March 1 in the Courtyard of the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona (located across the street from the Heard Museum in Phoenix). The event is free to the public. Bidding starts at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. This event showcases traditional and contemporary Hopi art including artwork from other American Indian Artists. Hopi artists are encouraged to consider donating a piece of artwork for the event. Proceeds from the event will be put into the endowed fund from which the interest earned is used for scholarships and other educational opportunities for the Hopi people.
"The event is made possible due to the generosity of Hopi artisans and sponsorship supporters. We encourage our friends to consider donating their art, time or resources to help make this event a success," said HEEF Resource Development Manager Justin Hongeva.
The Silent Auction will feature pieces of jewelry from the estate of Mrs. Helen Detwiler. Detwiler and her husband Loren were educators who had the opportunity to teach across the U.S. In the 1980's the couple brought their skills to the Grand Canyon where Helen taught first grade for nine years at Grand Canyon School. During her time at the Grand Canyon she bonded with her Hopi students and parents which led to many invitations to ceremonies on the Hopi reservation. Detwiler passed away in 2017. It was her wish to leave her jewelry collection to the HEEF so that funds raised from the items would benefit the education of Hopi students. The diverse and high-quality pieces represent a variety of Native American tribes. Hopi pieces in the collection are believed to be crafted from some of the first Hopi silversmiths who were part of the world-renowned Hopi Guild.
"We had the honor of knowing Mrs. Detwiler. She was a sweet, caring and generous individual. Her passing is a great loss but through her husband Loren, we are honored to be able to carry out her final wishes. She loved the jewelry and valued all that education could bring to an individual. I can't imagine a better place for her collection to go to," said HEEF Executive Director Dr. LuAnn Leonard.
Pieces of the collection will be featured on the HEEF website at www.hopieducation.fund. More information or for artist donation forms, sponsorship opportunities or artwork contact HEEF at (928) 734-2275. HEEF is a public non-profit IRS Code Section 7871 entity of the Hopi Tribe created by the Hopi Tribal Council in 2000.

Before I set off from the States this morning I was feeling like one last American-ish experience so I decided to do SoulCycle, a spinning class that combines motivational yelling with intense – I would say dangerously intense, at times – exercise in a hot dark room. When you book a class you get an email that says: 'Your Soul is confirmed, for 8.30am on Saturday', as if you've made a suicide pact. I've been to the class a couple of other times this week, in Brooklyn, because I can't help being curious about any form of group exercise that sounds like a cult, and, as well as finding the class wildly awful, I've found it hilarious and engrossing. As your legs spin frenziedly on a stationary bicycle, you have to do dance moves (tiny bouncing motions that seem to serve no real purpose) and scream 'Wooo!' when the instructor asks you to. It's stupidly hot – no fans, no air conditioning. Four glowing candles anoint the base of the instructor's bicycle at the front. The instructor's job is to yell things. My first instructor, Nicholas, was a big yeller. 'Do not be afraid. You are ready for your life. You belong.' Every so often Nicholas would literally just scream – it was meant to be a whoop of excitement but it sounded like a scream of frustration, like one of his limbs was trapped under a rock and he couldn't free himself. While screaming, he'd twirl his towel around his head – and, again, it was meant as a 'fun' gesture but to me it looked like someone stranded on a remote island trying to signal a plane passing overhead. And then for one song, he stopped cycling and just swayed around extravagantly, like an exhausted American Idol contestant listening to an audience singing lyrics back to him.
The stuff Nicholas said was so meaningful that usually the centre could not hold and it disintegrated into some kind of sublime nonsense. 'Inside this room is where you will find your wildest, most dangerous truth.' 'Go inside yourself … and open yourself.' 'Let go of all of the bullshit out there, all that anxiety and fear out there, and live your truth out loud.' The instructors liked to reference 'bullshit'. They spat out the word. Bullshit was the antithesis of the SoulCycle philosophy, and I understood it to mean: ordinary life. Out there, deep in the bullshit, you're no hero. You're just a person. A person with bullshit obligations and bullshit responsibilities! The bullshit references were a way, I guess, of making people feel somewhat seen, like yes, we understand that your life is full of frustration! But you know what: none of that really matters. Which is true: we all lose perspective. But the message was double-edged. The implication was that being on this bike, being here, doing this expensive class and possibly buying some of the expensive kit out in the lobby to show your dedication to the expensive class, this is what matters. In a largely meaningless world, this means something.
But did it mean anything, actually? … well, there were moments that seemed close to it for me, when something the instructor said made my cynicism soften, like – to Bowie's 'Heroes' – 'You might not have any idea who it is, but to somebody out there you are a hero.' My soul was nowhere near soaring, like they kept telling us it would be, but I felt it startle, like it had been gently slapped and the slap had felt sort of pleasurable. I've heard of people weeping in these classes, feeling a cathartic release. Was it simply that, if someone throws enough stuff at you, then, like the cold-reading psychic, they'll hit one of your insecurities – I'm not strong enough, good enough, smart enough – so that you feel truly seen?
My second class was with a guy called Noh, a burly bearded man wearing a gold chain, who, like almost every other American I had to say my name to, called me 'Ishy'. He yelled it a few times. 'You got it, Ishy.' 'Ishy's gaining on us!' Noh explained to us why we should all choose bikes close to one another rather than spreading out around the room. 'There's always one fucken gazelle,' he roared, 'that wants to turn left when all the other gazelles are turning right. You've seen those nature documentaries: the lion is running after the pack, and one of the gazelles thinks, "I'll go over here" and it peels away from the pack, and in that moment you just know. That gazelle is gonna get eaten. So. Stay with the pack!' Noh only played Bowie and Prince, and it was this that got me. During both 'Purple Rain' and 'Heroes' I felt my energy – and some sort of … emotion – surging and I started grinning idiotically in the dark, and for a moment the line of joggling lycra butts ahead of me fell from my eyes and I felt like I was riding into the future. I felt good. It was a moment when SoulCycle's blatantly capitalist impulses seemed to collide with something really worthwhile.
Then the butts floated before me again and I realised: it wasn't SoulCycle doing that. That was Bowie. That was Prince. They were the ones doing all the emotional labour, and I'm not sure either of them would be happy about it in this context. And the spell was properly broken when the instructor said, as our arms were raised up, half stretching and half expressing some uncertain gratitude: 'Suffering does not happen just in the US. Suffering happens all over the world.' I can't quite put my finger on why this felt so cheap; I think it was the implication that being aware of this suffering pretty much meant doing something about it. The reminder that there was suffering vaguely somewhere in the world was meant to make us feel good, because now we knew about it – whatever and wherever it was. Everyone's arms hovered in the air until the instructor said we were done.
There's always a time, when travelling around or even just being somewhere unfamiliar, that your body starts to feel like just another awkwardly shaped piece of luggage that you have to haul around, and slowly but surely your mind starts to become luggage too, getting heavier and heavier and more and more awkwardly shaped and you can't get it into the right position for optimum carrying and it keeps banging against your leg and sometimes it just breaks open and all your brain's underwear spills out on the road. There was this one night, just after arriving in New York from New Haven with the other Windham-Campbell writers, when I was meant to go to a party, and I did want to go, but I felt so jagged and depleted that I couldn't – I felt like one of those burrowing frogs that won't surface from its sand dune unless there are very specific weather conditions. I stayed in my hotel room instead and tried to eat a bagel while crying. Like the desert rain frog letting out its tiny helpless roar I posted a despairing status update on Facebook. Maybe the difficulty, one of the difficulties, is that experiences that are extraordinary and joyful are quite close, in their felt intensity, to experiences that are overwhelming and distressing. The intensity wavers and wobbles like a compass needle. (Another reading of it … I'm a giant flake.)
But then the city would show me some sudden softness, like a guy asking me for directions as he crossed the street and then laughing, 'Why the fuck don't I know this! I've lived here fourteen years!' And so many dogs on leads, each of them the size of a slice of toast. And the poet Jeremy Sigler, after our reading with Eileen Myles at the Brooklyn Book Fair, sighing, 'Man. That was hard. I feel like I need to come down after all that.' And a brilliant photographer named Beowulf, who was taking photographs at the Windham-Campbell festival and had just seen me speaking at an event: 'I mean you do gesture a lot, but your gestures hold a lovely nervous energy.' And then he told me an anecdote about Anthony Hopkins being nervous to have his photo taken one time.
My dad found New York far too loud and abrasive, with all its jackhammers and sirens and shouting. So he bought a set of earplugs especially for the city. He'd become very attached to his earplugs and had started to wear them willy-nilly. On the day I met him and Mum in New Haven he said he'd been out walking and had gone through the park, New Haven Green, and he had to pass two guys shouting right in each other's faces. 'And they were so loud, I had to put my earplugs in!' I laughed my head off but later I thought when I'm seventy I'll probably be doing the same.
Knausgård drew an analogy between observing hedgehogs and writing about things in your world. That you can try to creep up on them; you can spy in a calculated sort of way. Or that you can sit quietly in the garden, waiting for darkness to fall and the hedgehogs to come out and be all around you. There, you can see the hedgehogs just be present in the world, as themselves, without noticing you. 'Whatever it is that shows itself in [my] work, it has to show itself unguardedly, with a kind of trust.'
He said that as long as you're thinking about how something seems to others – whether it's important enough, good enough – and if you begin to calculate and pretend, then the writing is 'no longer accessible as itself, but only as what we have made it into.'
One of the things that moved me the most about his talk was the way he acknowledged that as a writer he wanted to be seen. His yearning felt like his yearning to be a famous soccer player or singer when he was a kid. 'I wanted to be seen. I wanted the recognition that comes with being a writer, and that by becoming a writer, I would show that I was special, that I was remarkable, that my work had special significance.' He called this one of his selfish reasons for writing. But it was no less real than the loftier ones. It was weirdly moving to me that he was able to articulate this hope, after all this time, and after all this fame.
He stood at the lectern for about an hour, stroking the sides of it and sweating what looked to me like literal diamonds. He said, 'I feel a joy in existing and being a part of this world, as if the soul is lifted and I am no longer myself.' His English was perfect but strange, and seemed more perfect because it was strange. His syllables kept getting caught up in themselves like an audiotape catching and rewinding.
After his speech the Windham-Campbell writers were all called up into the wings. Knausgård was there, sort of pacing around shinily. We all stared at him and the poet Carolyn Forché clasped her hands together and said, 'Wonderful! You were wonderful' and he looked at us all as if through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, and drifted off. Later on, at the formal dinner, someone pinched his name tag from the name-tag table.
I want to say something about the men. It doesn't feel quite right to say that – 'the men'. When I say 'the men', I mean the men you pass in the street and the men who pass you; the men who serve you in a bar and who sit down the end of the bar; the men waiting alongside you at a train or bus station. The men are the weather of a place, the same way people's accents are the weather. For a given day, they make up your impression of a city. I was in Soho, walking behind an impossibly beautiful woman and it was as if she was creating this huge, slow ripple in the street as every man's head turned – men in doorways, men passing on bikes, men sitting on steps with their phones, out in the warmth. If there was any head belonging to a man, it was turning. Low whistles and murmurs were in the air like vapour trail. Another day, in downtown Brooklyn, a man came up to me and said, 'Let's play a game to see who's smarter. I ask you three questions and –' I realised he just wanted money so I gave him a few bucks, and he grabbed my hand tightly and started hugging me. 'You can't walk into my life like this and then leave!' He had this straightforward happiness about him and I wanted to be able to smile and talk to him, but I couldn't because he was a strange man hugging me. And also because earlier that day I'd been walking in Park Slope when I heard a guy screaming at a young woman. She was walking quickly, looking straight ahead, while he jogged at her side. 'You'll never keep a man because you're so stuck up! Ugly bitch!' He screamed and screamed at her. He spat at her. It was frightening and everyone including me was hurrying away. It was the first time I'd seen anything like that. On many of these streets the air felt like it was swollen with looking, and with angling to find a way into others' personal space so that they would look back at you. This man just could not deal with this woman not looking back at him. Looking straight ahead to where she was going, instead of looking up to acknowledge the man, was an act of defiance.
I'm writing this on the plane from New York to London and the man next to me is snoring kind of monstrously so I've decided to be awake for the rest of the flight. When we boarded a few hours ago, the snoring man was rude to an attendant, saying 'Get rid of this' (his way of asking her to take away a cup of orange juice he didn't want), and grunting when she paused before taking his cup. An hour or so ago he woke up from what sounded like a deep sleep and called on the attendant. When she appeared he said stiffly, 'I would like another blanket.' Not only did she fetch another blanket and pull it out of its wrapping for him, she also laid it over him gently and tucked it around the edges of his chair. She tucked him in like a baby. He muttered 'Thank you.' She was doing her job, a large portion of which must entail being kind to people who have been obnoxious to her, but I was still touched by her kindness to him, and by the reminder that even dickheads get cold.
Well. CLEARLY I am angling to connect this small observation to the New Zealand election, with so many people voting to keep things as broken they are. But it's probably enough for now to say … I'm making an effort to remember that people who feel very comfortable about their lives and unmoved by others' struggles are three-dimensional. And that they have their reasons, and that they feel vulnerable sometimes. It's just that getting an extra blanket is so much easier for them. They might even have a person to place it gently over them and tuck them in; all their blankets keep them warm and they sleep soundly. They're never awake to see all the people who are too cold, too worried, too hungry, to sleep soundly.
I voted in a Williamsburg pub where Gemma Gracewood (producer/musician/writer/mum of a cool baby called Wiremu) had organised a New Zealand voting party, with printer, shredder, and cardboard voting booth installed. It's funny, voting overseas – it feels as if your vote holds more weight just because you have to go to slightly more trouble to do it. But there's also an arrogance that automatically, embarrassingly surfaces – I mean, I find this for myself – where, simply because New Zealand feels so far away, you feel bigger and more 'a part of the world' than you were before, and so your vote must really be of special interest this time, like some rare migratory bird blown way off-course in a storm and ending up on a beach on Wellington's south coast.
(Rest in peace beautiful man Tom Petty.)

I Would Have to Choose the Shark: An Interview With John-Paul Young
We should catch up. Let's catch up


After a formidable amount of work, the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) exercise is complete and published. The results, which capture the UK chemistry research environment, and the quality and impact of that research, will no doubt prompt much discussion, analyses and comparison around the world. But what do the results mean for UK chemistry today and for the future of chemistry in general?
Before we discuss the results, we must emphasise that the process is conducted with the utmost rigour, and praise the professionalism and dedication of the panel, the assessors and secretariat. And of course, we must thank researchers and their institutions for their time spent preparing submissions.
The assessment process took 10 months, starting early in January 2014, and involved seven meetings of the panel and a huge amount of work between the meetings. At the start, calibration exercises compared and moderated the scoring of different panellists. Every item in the submission was then read by at least two panellists and there was a large measure of agreement and convergence in the scores. Careful consideration was given to 'borderlines' between the quality ratings and, where appropriate, items were discussed by the full panel.
We should also note that the process relies on panellists' expertise to assess the quality of research; journal impact factors were not considered, nor were author contributions. Citation data were used where appropriate, but ultimately the assessment was based on expertise, not metrics.
The chart gives the overall profile for chemistry and a comparison with the Research Assessment Exercise 2008.
The first and most obvious observation is the growth in the top (4*) rating and the reduction in 2* ratings. Is this 'grade inflation'? Emphatically not: it represents a real increase in the quality of the submissions. Several members of the panel (including ourselves) served on the RAE2008 assessment panel and it was quite clear to us that departments have upped their game in recent years.
Clearly, UK university chemistry departments produce high quality science. Almost a quarter of papers submitted are world leading (4*) while the great majority of the remainder exhibit international excellence (3*). In particular, UK chemistry departments show growing strength in many cutting-edge, emerging fields of chemistry: chemical biology, materials, catalysis, computational chemistry, nanoscience and supramolecular chemistry. But it is also clear that excellence in these themes is underpinned by excellence in core areas, including synthesis and spectroscopy.
Our results also reflect trends in chemistry research globally, as chemistry broadens its influence across borders and between sciences. Many outstanding papers were based on interdisciplinary research, but where chemistry is the core component, and a related development is the increased number of outputs involving large teams from several institutions.
The 'environment' component, an assessment of capability to undertake high quality research, was equally encouraging. Almost all the submissions, in their summaries of strategy, staffing, income, infrastructure and in their collaborations and contributions, demonstrated a strong and internationally competitive environment for contemporary research. Several showed real world class environments. Institutions have invested in both staff and infrastructure, and the investment has borne fruit.
One further encouraging statistic is a 25% growth in PhD graduates over the assessment period. The only warning sign concerned research funding: many departments have not managed to diversify their sources of funding, and some are clearly struggling to retain adequate levels, for which the real terms decline in funding from research councils must be a major factor. If the health of the discipline is to be maintained, this must be addressed.
However, the most revealing component of the exercise is 'impact'. The quality here is exceptionally high, with exciting case studies that really show how chemistry contributes to the economy and society. As might be expected, we see evidence of the crucial role our discipline plays in the manufacturing industry and in developing new pharmaceuticals. But they also showcase the truly impressive breadth of chemistry's impact: for example, restoring and preserving key historical objects or developing air pollution policy. We have always known that chemistry is an essential discipline for both a flourishing economy and a healthy society; now we have the evidence.
Of course, there are downsides to the process. The workload – both preparation and evaluation – is a concern. But the only way to reduce this is to move towards proxies, for example bibliometrics, rather than expert review, and we must consider as a community if this is what we want. Also, as scientists we know that measuring a system perturbs it. There is no doubt that assessment exercises have a major influence on, for example, staffing policies. Some of these are unquestionably beneficial, but are they all? Institutions must use the results wisely. Excellence should be recognised and rewarded, but we must remember that assessment is not an end itself.
There are still many other issues and questions, and much debate to be had. But let us conclude on a positive note: the most important message from this exhaustive (and exhausting!) process is that our discipline is in robust health.


A federal grand jury is scheduled to hear testimony Wednesday in the government's criminal investigation into WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
A federal grand jury in Virginia is scheduled to hear testimony Wednesday from witnesses in one of the government's biggest criminal investigations of a national security leak.
The WikiLeaks case is part of a much broader campaign by the Obama administration to crack down on leakers.
National security experts say they can't remember a time when the Justice Department has pursued so many criminal cases based on leaks of government secrets.
"For people who are concerned about freedom of the press, access to national security information, it's a worrisome development," says Aftergood, who writes for the blog Secrecy News.
"Leaks serve a very valuable function as a kind of safety valve," he adds. "They help us to get out the information that otherwise would be stuck."
The Obama Justice Department doesn't agree.
With the investigation into disclosures by WikiLeaks, a federal grand jury in Virginia is exploring possible charges including conspiracy to transmit national defense information; knowingly accessing a computer without authorization; and stealing from a federal agency, according to a subpoena and related documents first made public by Salon.com. The documents say the latest grand jury session is scheduled for Wednesday.
Aside from the ongoing WikiLeaks investigation, federal prosecutors have brought criminal charges against four other people, including former State Department employee Stephen Kim; former CIA operative Jeffrey Sterling; one-time National Security Agency analyst Thomas Drake, who is going to trial next month in Baltimore; and former FBI translator Shamai Leibowitz, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to almost two years in prison.
Aftergood says despite the burst of activity within the Justice Department, there are still calls for more action against leakers.
"As aggressive as the Obama administration has been in pursuing and prosecuting leakers, the signal that the administration is getting from Congress is, why aren't you doing more?" he says.
At a pair of oversight hearings last week, Republicans blasted the Justice Department for deciding not to prosecute Thomas Tamm, a former government lawyer who admitted to telling the New York Times about a secret electronic surveillance program.
Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley says the case raises questions about whether prosecutors went soft on leaks.
"I am concerned that the decision not to prosecute anyone related to this specific leak may indicate a reluctance to enforce the law. Leaks of classified information threaten the lives of our agents and allies in the field," Grassley says.
The House and Senate intelligence committees have proposed directing the intelligence community to create new computer systems to detect leaks and give government officials the power to yank away the pensions of suspected leakers.
Abbe Lowell is a Washington defense attorney at the Chadbourne & Parke law firm. He's defending Kim, the former State Department employee, in an ongoing leak prosecution.
"Going after leakers of classified information, if you will, is low-hanging fruit to show that you're tough in national security issues," Lowell says. "Other than the media, who are willing recipients of this material, there's not a constituency out there who basically is outraged when you go after a leaker."
Lowell outlines some of the defense arguments that he has been making in court: first, that government employees have First Amendment rights to share information or talk to people as part of their job.
Lowell adds that many federal employees shake their heads at double standards, where bosses can leak information to favorite reporters with no punishment, but federal workers face a crackdown if they do it.
"It is so arbitrary and capricious for the prosecutors to decide that some leaks are criminal and other leaks are what we actually want to have happen," Lowell says.
Advocates for open information say the government should use less severe tools, such as financial penalties or removing a worker's security clearance, before pulling out all the stops and bringing an indictment.
Laura Sweeney, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department, says federal workers can't take the law into their own hands.
"There are specific, authorized ways for a government employee to report possible concerns about classified programs, which include notifying inspectors general, specific congressional committees and other specified entities," Sweeney said in a written statement. "It is never appropriate, however, for government employees who are trusted with the nation's most valuable and sensitive information to mishandle classified information in any manner that puts the nation's security at risk."

Master Jeweler, Metalsmith, Sculptor: Mechanical savant Ira Sherman on his "Chastity Couture"
#byMeredithKurz
"Aesthetics are the mechanics and the mechanics are the aesthetic." — Ira Sherman
Ira Sherman with his sculpture "Scorpio 1F"
"I can make what I can imagine," states Ira Sherman in an interview with ARTpublika Magazine. The artist's work — which includes fine jewelry, kinetic sculpture, liturgical pieces, and mechanical haute couture — chronicles his 50-year, ever-increasing mastery of metalworking and fabrication techniques that get "the metal to do what [he] wants it to do," though "it takes a long time to get the aesthetics right."
Some of his most popular works, referred to as "mechanical prostheses," embrace the line of the human body. "I am an artist who uses mechanical technology and biomorphic aesthetics to invent devices that blur the definition of useful achievement, making daydreams into plausible realities," reads his artist statement. When asked if there are other sculptors that do what he does, "I am the only one in the world," he replies.
Model wearing veil "Armored Headdress F1"
"The human body is curvilinear," explains Sherman, so "to make [sculptures] fit around the human body — and still have this incredibly beautiful elegance, form, and mechanical function — is mind-blowingly difficult." When making his wearable art, "most of the forged elements that you see are hammered out — formed around a mannequin, assembled, and double checked to be anatomically accurate."
Sherman's works are now part of permanent collections housed at numerous notable institutions, including Renwick Gallery, a branch of the Smithsonian American Art Museum; the Metal Museum; and the Denver RTD Public Art Collection. He's earned an extensive list of awards, and his sculptures and traveling exhibitions have been displayed in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, England, Scotland and Japan.
Close up of the award-winning "Orchid Chastity Belt" by Ira Sherman
Raised in a Jewish neighborhood in North Chicago, Sherman spent time hanging around the metal fabrication equipment at his family's used machinery business. "At an early age, I found myself wanting to manipulate mechanical architectural lines into lyrical beautiful forms," writes Sherman in his biography. Soon, he would get his chance to do so.
As a student, the young man showed an aptitude for mechanics, art, and science. So, his parents encouraged all three. Growing bored with biology and chemistry in college, Sherman began taking art classes as a way to escape the "rigidity of science." While learning jewelry making, he started designing and creating unique wedding rings, and then began adding mechanized components to his artwork not too long after that.
One of his works, the "Arbitrator," is both a kinetic sculpture and a performance centerpiece. It features three components — a "controller," a two person harness, and a stand — which, after a preset duration, begin to work together to literally lock people engaged in a dispute or disagreement. "As more time slips away, more photoelectric circuits are tripped off and higher pressure is added to the negotiations."
The "Arbitrator" by Ira Sherman
The artist's design process is rooted in four specific steps. The first two involve focusing on paradoxical societal issues and defining otherwise unsolvable problems that may be resolved by plausible mechanical solutions. The "Arbitrator" was inspired by "failed negotiations." Logically, Sherman debuted his device in a courtroom and, for dramatic effect, invited the press to witness a demonstration.
The last two steps involve designing sculptural mechanical aesthetics using refined craftsmanship and crafting kinetic mechanical systems to animate his sculptures. True to form, the "Arbitrator" has a distinct aesthetic and functions as a dual exoskeleton that forces the two negotiators to find a resolution or risk having their heads compressed together by the device's built-in mechanisms that rely on high-pressure gas.
The "Arbitrator," along with the "Gas-Powered Tick Plucker" (yes, a tick plucker) and the "Pavlovian Trainer" (a device that effectively muzzles overly chatty people and disrupts their vocalizations by ringing a bell) are part of his 30-piece traveling exhibit called The Panacea of Persistent Problems, which features "absurd" but highly imaginative works of art.
Although his devices are often humorous solutions to a range of societal problems, he also addresses serious issues. One controversial piece in the aforementioned exhibit is Sherman's "Pneumatic Anti Rape Device," a chastity belt featuring an internally activated "trip" mechanism that releases two pneumatically propelled darts that effectively perforate an attacker, which "came out as a beautiful kinetic piece of jewelry."
The response to the work, particularly from victims of sexual abuse, led Sherman to create his Impenetrable Devices exhibition, with the first installment of fully functioning works featuring 16 wildly imaginative, stainless steel "prostheses." Dubbed Chastity Couture, titles of sculptures like "Intimate Electric Fence," "Bear Trap Corset," and "The Injector" hint at their intent.
Sherman went on to create a second installment for the series "built around the mythical symbolic framework of the medieval steel chastity belt" focusing on pleasure and permission. He exhibited the jewel-adorned, mechanical, wearable sculptures at different fashion shows, which were — by all accounts — hypersexual yet empowering events that often incorporate performance.
One of these features male and female identifying models demonstrating a mating dance. "The woman has a veil that opens up, but the consummation of the act is only realized when she touches herself in her erotic zone with a jeweled device," explains Sherman. "In order for the female to let the male in, she must give him permission." Unsurprisingly, this installment of works is regarded as Safe but Sexy.
Model Daphne Mosko in "Scorpio" by Ira Sherman
Model Daphne Mosko, who calls the exoskeleton prosthetics "wears," says that the sculptures "are heavy and can be difficult to get in and out of" even though "they hold immense power." Wearing them "felt sensual and empowered, even regal," she explains to ARTpublika. "There is a sense of strength I embodied when wearing them, or a tempered ferociousness that carried a measured calculating presence to it."
Speaking to victims of sexual abuse, Ira Sherman realized that his sculptures can be more than just preventative devices. That's when the artist started thinking about the concepts of redemption, forgiveness, and rebirth. "If you forgive, you don't need a lock, you are free," he reasoned. And so he dedicated the third installment of the series to exploring that, using the human organs as symbols for certain emotional processes.
"Heartfelt" by Ira Sherman
Normally, Sherman's creative process starts with a sketch. "Heartfelt" — a sculpture embodying the theme of forgiveness — is based on a drawing of the human vascular system. The anatomically-correct heart is bejeweled on the inside and has veins and arteries — made of pneumatic tubes that open and close the muscular organ — form the exoskeletal structure around the human body.
"E. Detox" by Ira Sherman
Similarly, Sherman's sculpture "E. Detox'' features exterior kidneys that pneumatically open up to reveal a butterfly on the inside. It serves as a "metaphor for ridding the body of emotional toxins," explains Sherman, and the "metamorphosis of ugly emotions into beauty and flight." The "air muscles" are operated by the stylized air tanks that are strategically located on the exoskeleton.
The artist is now working on "Hope," a fashionable, mechanized piece or armor designed to offer protection for pregnant women from the front, while sporting lyrical delicate details from the back. The armored shell opens up with mechanized birthing contractions to reveal a baby growing inside. It is Ira Sherman's favorite piece in the third installment of his Chastity Couture series.

I was delighted the other day when two of my many passions merged in the form of a story about Architect, Frank Gehry's soon to be christened Lou Ruvo Brain Institute designed in Las Vegas.
There is no doubt that a well crafted story and design of a world-class building have much in common. Both need a solid foundation; a blueprint to guide the builder or reader and the necessary tools to compete the task.
Now you might find this a bit of a stretch but I grew up walking past one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last designs and his last church design on my way to school every day.
Wright designed the Pilgrim Congressional Church in 1958 before he died in 1959 in for the time was as far west of the town of Redding you could get before running into dirt.
There was nothing but black oak; manzanita brush and poison oak as far as you cared to itch. The church was designed as a tent. It was said to represent temporary, migratory and transient lives.
This guy knew his stuff as there was little reason to migrate back to this area but then he was known as a visionary and a designer far beyond his time.
"Tell the people of the little church that I will help them out. If I like the 'feel' of a job, I take it." said Wright when he took the job.
Not unlike an Architect, a journalist must design their work with quality content as their purpose. Without a sound foundation that will inform, challenge and educate the reader; it's just an empty shell. Gehry said it perfectly in the Las Vegas Sun article.
As a volunteer for FOVEA exhibitions there is always a surprise around the corner, or at least walking through the front door. Shoulder to shoulder, photographers, authors and artist stepping on the hardwood.
I'm constantly amazed at both the number and quality of talented photographers that come by to visit the gallery. I have often wondered why in twenty some years as a photo editor in southern California I didn't meet more artist passing through the area?
I don't know that there is more of an appreciation for the arts, but I do think that people take more time to enjoy art on the east coast. From my experience I do find them more giving of their time in conversation pertaining to visual art specifically, and art in general.
This past weekend, a visit from John Nordell, photographer and instructor at Hallmark Institute of Photography was a wonderful treat.
John's work in "Reality-based abstractions" is bold and exciting and opens up new avenues of expression as a photographer.
Multiple-exposure is nothing new to the photo scene but Nordell raises the bar with his beautifully constructed graphic images and technique.
Please don't let my experiment above stop you from visiting John's work or his blog.
Both offer an opportunity to be transported by a new vision and wonderful expression.
How long does it take ice to melt before it becomes a puddle?
Is it the largest icicle with the widest grip on the roof that will hold the longest, or does the weight drag it crashing to the ground before the thin more fragile ice spikes?
There appears to be a parallel to the economy and the nation's continued unemployment with that of the weather. Over time the temperature determines if the melting water continues to grow the icicle or it becomes fractured like broken glass…the same with people who love to be useful and find that through using their acquired skills.
Last evening, I was returning from my "Job Searching Techniques" class at the local community college. The headlights illuminated and doubled the size of each snow flake produced by the white flurry making it impossible to see the car ahead.
Why am I intimidated by the classroom white board? Is it the instructor? The magic markers that never work? Not really knowing my career objective? What are my skills and my strengths…do I still have them?
As humans, we are defined by our employment, five seemingly very nice people trying to understand who they are and what they want to be when they grow up. We were all sitting in a cold classroom with a menacing white board predicting our future.
The social worker, who was beat down by the work load and the hours. She wanted to help others, make a difference, and maybe thought a career in health care.
The woman who owned a child care business, who was also beat by the long hours and who felt she had fallen behind in technology.
The security administrator, who had worked hard and sacrificed much, returning to school for a degree and still confused on life's direction. She felt safe in what she knew but knew she needed more.
And, the photo editor who felt much like an icicle, not sure which one he closely identified with but his eyes are coldly fixed upside down on that puddle below.
Autum in New Paltz, searching for the flying pig.
Man, I can feel it down to the morrow of my California bones; the weather is teetering on change.
The icy drop of temperature fills the air with each breath of north wind as it blows up the canyon. Afternoon walks are now met by neon red, orange and yellow leaves tightly hanging on trees. Many more have succumbed to the breeze and now cover the ground along the roadside.
The week days are calmer than the weekends along the Hudson River and trips to small communities like New Paltz are best made when city visitors are consumed by work and their Wednesday night dreams of hikes, climbs and kayaking in the Wallkill River Valley.
The branches of thousands of apple trees bend heavy towards the earth with red and yellow apples with the arrival of fall. It only helps to entice more visitors to enjoy the vineyards, orchards and farms.
For those in the west that can still see nature without a looming cloud of smoke, think in terms of Santa Cruz, Mendocino or Eureka without looking at the ocean.
On any given Saturday you will be hard-pressed to even make it into town after exiting west off I-87. Many give up and head back across the river for calmer Hyde Park and Rhinebeck.
With coffee in hand make your way for the "Rock and Snow" for anything that you care to hammer, click, or hang from rock. These are the area experts in rock, ice climbing. They actually appear to enjoy talking to customers share their experience for those who may have questions.
With the "College at New Paltz", there is that college town color and vibe. With an understated urban flare, the shops are filled with local art from watercolors to flying pigs made of recycled materials.
There is a dizzy selection of restaurants along Main Street and the "Lemon Grass" is a valid choice for a reasonable Thai lunch, with a charming quiet atmosphere with gracious servers.
Today is Wednesday and I now think of the weekend's passing; zipping up my sweater and looking forward to being a week closer to the heart of autumn.
One of the sad things about being a child is that you both trust and rely on an adult to say and do the right thing.
It's not until you are an adult that you see that your path was illuminated or shortened in distance by those adults.
Take a child, who wants to be an artist and tell them they have no talent, shorten the path, reduce the goals.

Mormonism at its best: The sacrament of helping other people move
Mormonism is at its finest on a Saturday morning when the ward turns out to help someone move. "This is service in its raw form," writes guest blogger Mette Harrison. "It should always feel sacred."
Jana Riess
Mette Ivie Harrison
A guest post by Mette Harrison
Recently, my older sister and her son moved out of our basement and into their own home. She had spent a year with us following a difficult divorce after 30 years of marriage. She needed the time and space to figure out who she was again, find a job that could support her and her son (who is diabetic and has pretty high medical expenses), and deal with some mental health issues.
We had told her we were willing to take her in for three years, but she ended up only staying one. She had found a part-time job that allowed her to work at home four out of five days a week and still paid enough for her expenses. Her mood and mental health were much, much better, and things are looking good for both her and her son.
What does any of this have to do with Mormonism?
My sister had asked our family to be ready to help her move on a Saturday from noon to 2:00, but she hadn't thought about calling anyone else to help. She had rented a truck and had spent the whole week making sure that she had time to box up her things. On Friday morning, a couple of women from the ward were helping her box and label things so that it would be obvious which room they went to on the other end, and how heavy they were, so that they could be put in the truck in the proper order. These women had simply volunteered to help; they weren't assigned to be her visiting teachers. They came because someone needed them and because they believed that God would have wanted them to help.
Saturday morning, I called my sister's home teacher, whom she had been reluctant to contact because he was receiving treatment for cancer. He had asked me several times at church if there was more he could do to help. He had had difficulty getting in touch with my sister because she was gone every other weekend due to custody issues, and also because, as it turned out, he didn't have her cell phone number. He came and rounded up three other high priests to help load. My husband called the Elders Quorum president, and got another three men to help.
At exactly 12:00, the first Mormon mover arrived and was astonished to see how much my sister and the Relief Society sisters had already accomplished. It took only one hour with all these people to help to get everything into the truck. My husband, who suffers from a ruptured disk and scoliosis, was relieved not to have to do all the heavy lifting himself. We did have one injury from a pinched finger with the dolly use (The Elders Quorum President nearly fainted, but didn't end up in the hospital).
Watching and participating in this event was one of the most spiritual moments in my life. I felt on the edge of tears in the simple act of carrying boxes up the stairs. We had moved into this ward ourselves eleven years previously, and some of the same people were here, helping my sister move out. It was an act of service, but it also felt like a kind of ceremony, a rite of passage, moving from dependence to independence.
I thought of the temple and of crossing through the veil, and this felt very similar to me in so many ways. Here were men helping women, offering a hand even if we were not well known to each other. I thought of Christ's sermon to his apostles about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick and the imprisoned. Those who served my sister were surely serving Christ in her place.
Why do Mormons do this? It seems a strange way of distinguishing ourselves as a religion, this helping people to move in and out.
Though most often Mormons help other Mormons, it is not exclusive. I've seen my husband hurry over to help neighbors who have pulled up with a moving van, whether they were Mormon or not. And though it is more traditional for women to help by bringing over a hot meal and a Mormon sweet treat, women also help pack, load, and unpack. Yes, there are times when things are accidentally broken in transit, when someone is injured, and when there are hour-long discussions of how a couch is going to fit through a door.
But this is service in its raw form. We offer our backs to those who have done little more than ask for help. We offer time and we show love. It should always feel sacred. I am just glad I felt the sacred nature of this mundane task that day.

These stories are about going places for reasons other than to just go. Taking classes abroad, like cooking, or language learning, is one type of alternative travel, others could be living abroad, or teaching English.
Whether you're considering a volunteering program abroad, or want to find short-term work overseas, or are traveling for a more non-traditional reason, these stories will give you some inspiration and ideas.
Alternative travel is what you make it, some travelers say their experiences challenge them, bring them closer to what really matters in their lives, or gives them the ability to see the world in a new light. No one argues that travel can change us, so why not explore the kinds of travel experiences listed below and see what you can do with your life!

When I am going through processes of growth, some days are better than others. On good days it's often not so difficult to love myself. But when days are tougher, and I feel a longing for connection with, or approval from others. I feel needy, afraid and insecure. On top of that i feel judgment: i shouldn't feel like this. i should be beyond this, I've dealt with this. I want to get rid of what I feel.

Q: how to set orientation to correct device orientation after dismissModalViewController? i have a detailview where content is displayed. with a button i am presenting another view modally:
[self.viewController presentModalViewController:helpViewController animated:NO];

So, when i dismiss this helpViewController, the detailview is always in portraitMode.
Cant get it to the correct device orientation.
I have tried it with this to rotate it to device orientation:
if ([UIViewController respondsToSelector:@selector(
    attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation)]) {

    [UIViewController attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation];
}

It seems that after dismissing the helpViewController viewDidAppear is not called in detailView.
So how can i get that to work?

A: Plz try to set the detailview.m as
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return YES;
//    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);

How to get an Annulment in Florida ?
Florida Courts, and sarasota divorce lawyers look at Annulment and Divorce separately. In a Florida Divorce, the marriage is acknowledged as legitimate, and through the divorce action, the marriage is dissolved by the Courts.
In an Annulment case, your Sarasota Divorce Attorney would request that the Court recognize that the marriage was never valid in the first place, and that the Court enter a judgment indicating that the parties were never married.
For an Annulment to take place in Florida, there must be some grounds to set aside the marriage.
Historically, Florida divorce Courts have allowed a marriage to be annulled based on Fraud or often a lack of consummation. Sarasota divorce attorneys know that there are two types of marriages that may qualify for annulment in Florida: "void" marriages, and "voidable" marriages. Although they sound the same, there is a significant difference.
A "voidable" marriage is one that was obtained by fraud, misrepresentation or duress. If the party who was the victim of the fraud, misrepresentation or duress "ratifies" the marriage. Generally residing together as a married couple and engaging in sexual intercourse results in a "ratification". Interestingly, the Florida case of Savini v. Savini that if the marriage was consummated, before learning of any fraud, this ratifies the marriage. This ruling is regardless of whether or not the party refused to continue to ratify the marriage after learning of the above fraud, misrepresentation or duress. If the marriage is consummated, the marriage is no longer voidable. The best Florida annulment attorneys can help you identify whether or not a marriage is voidable, and then whether or not you can get the marriage annulled in Florida.
A "void" marriage is one that isn't valid because the Husband and Wife are related, are of the same gender, or if one of the parties is already married. No matter what happens between the Husband and Wife after the marriage, these types of marriages are always void in the State of Florida, and can be annulled in Florida. Contact one of our Sarasota Divorce lawyers to talk about whether or not you have the opportunity to annul your marriage.
The procedure for gaining an annulment is for one party to file a Petition for annulment of marriage, and to state one of the above grounds, for annulment, including a description of whether or not the marriage is void, or voidable, and if voidable, whether or not the marriage was ratified. Your Sarasota divorce lawyers will be able to advise you whether or not you can have your marriage annulled in Florida, and how best to go about getting the Florida annulment.
