City Council regulating street performers with new busking bylaws
15 May, 2018	1 Briain Kelly
Galway city council adopted new busking bylaws for the city centre at yesterday's council meeting in a close vote.
The new bylaws prohibit buskers from using amplification in a performance within a designated protected streetscape in the city centre before 6pm, and completely forbids the use of drum kits within the protected area.
Circle Acts, performances that reserve a specific space and require the audience to stop to watch or participate are also banned from the protected area up until 6pm.
The Protected Street Scape referred to in the bylaws covers all of Quay St, High St, Shop St, Mainguard St, Buttermilk Lane, William St, Middle St, Williamsgate St, and Abbeygate St from Shop street junction to Whitehall junction.
A group of people from the Galway busking community were present at the meeting and expressed their disappointment with the council after the vote, promising to challenge the bylaws.
A heated debate took place during this month's council meeting on what everyone agreed was an emotive topic.
Councillors sought to balance preserving the tradition of busking which is a massive part of the city's national and international image, and preserving the rights of local businesses which were being interfered with by excessive noise and blocked traffic.
Councillors in favour of the bylaws said they were not against busking but that it is the duty of the council to look after rate-paying businesses in the city centre.
Councillor Terry O'Flaherty said that while busking is the "life and soul" of Galway there has to be some form of regulation as the council has been dealing with ten years of complaints from local businesses.
Councillor Peter Keane, who brought the matter for a vote at this meeting, said it, "gives no-one any joy to regulate busking but the council has to legislate because the busking and business community cannot reach an agreement."
He also pointed out that inner city businesses pay €35 million euros in rates every year, accounting for nearly 40% of the city's budget.
Councillor Ollie Crowe agreed with the need to support businesses who have been impacted by traffic caused by busking, "The rate payers of this city are entitled to be able to get people into their shops."
On top of this Councillors said that the regulations will only affect a small number of buskers within a limited area, and that the majority will be able to play without interference.
However Councillor Mike Cubbard said that no matter what councillors say, or what provisions are put into the bylaws to limit their adverse impact, they will do "irreparable damage" to the city's reputation.
"The message will go out nationally and internationally that, 'Galway stops Busking.'"
Councillor Cathal O'Conchúir said that banning the use of amplification completely will stop any dancer with a backing track or any busker with an electric guitar from performing during peak hours.
One fear expressed by several councillors was that even if the council amends these regulations after they've been active for several months, the damage might already by done.
"That's the danger here, we could get rid of busking altogether." said councillor John Walsh, "It could just get up and walk to another city."
403 submissions were made to the city council during the public consultation process for the development of these bylaws.
Of those submission the overwhelming majority, 385 out of 403, were against the introduction of bylaws.
Amendments to original text of Busking bylaws
Several amendments were made to the proposed bylaws before the council voted on adopting them.
In their original form the bylaws would have permitted the use of battery powered portable amplification with a maximum power output of 50 watts.
However the council adopted an amendment proposed by councillor Keane which removed any mention of portable amplification along with removing permit requirements for underage performers.
Councillor Billy Cameron proposed a motion seconded by councillor Níall McNelis to designate an area in Eyre sq and Fishmarket sq each to develop for performances, which passed with 13 votes in favour.
The challenge of enforcing busking bylaws
Questions were raised at the council meeting about how it is proposed that that the city go about enforcing the new regulations.
Speaking in favour of a complete ban on the use of amplification, Councillor Collette Connelly said the Gardaí had told the Strategic Policy Committee when it was debating the proposed bylaws that attempting to measure noise levels would be an issue for a garda on patrol.
Mayor Flannery added that gardaí are not in position to measure decibel levels and need clear guidelines, "They can recognise from ten paces, that guy's using amplification."
Other councillors expressed skepticism of the city's ability to enforce busking regulations under any circumstances.
Councillor Frank Fahy noted that there are existing bylaws against rickshaws and public drinking in the city but, "our streets are awash in broken bottles."
There were also concerns about the definition of a Circle Act. The text of the bylaws states that a Circle Act is a structured performance that, "requires the reservation of a specific space and requires the audience to stop, watch and/or to participate." and may incorporate fire, theatre, juggling dance, comedy, or acrobatics.
Councillor Mark Lohan said the wording was too widely interpretable; Councillor Conneely agreed with him saying it's the audience that forms the circle, and therefore any busker could become a circle Act.
Speaking on behalf of city management, Acting Director of Services Gary McMahon said that the city does not currently have the resources to enforce these bylaws and suggested trialing a voluntary Code of Conduct.
However Mr. McMahon also said that gardaí had informed the city management that if they were to be involved in enforcing any regulations, they wanted a bylaw in place.
Protecting underage performers
Also adopted in the new bylaws is a requirement that performers under the age of 16 have a parent or legal guardian with them at all times while performing.
According to the original text presented to the Council, performers under the age of 16 would also have had to get a photographic performance permit from city hall.
All councilors agreed that any regulation had to protect underage performers, however it was ultimately decided that a permit system was both unreasonably onerous on performers and their families, and wouldn't be effective in protecting young people.
Councillor Connolly described the permit system as "inoperable" and councilor Conneely remarked that, "It'd be easier to get a passport than a permit here."
Mayor Flannery also said that he felt that a permit would do nothing to protect underage performers from being bullied out of their place, and that the crucial thing was for a parent or guardian be present.
The vote was split 9-9, with Mayor Flannery then deciding the tie break.
Councillors Collette Connolly, Mike Crowe, Ollie Crowe, Pearce Flannery, Peter Keane, Noel Larkin, Donal Lyons, Declan McDonnell, and Terry O'Flaherty.
Voting against adopting the bylaws were Councillors Billy Cameron, Cathal O'Conchúir, Pádraig Conneely, Mike Cubbard, Frank Fahy, Mairéad Farrell, Mark Lohan, Níall McNelis, and John Walsh.

Freirean Dialogue: An Effective Pedagogy for Critical Peace Education
Freire Diyaloğu: Eleştirel Barış Eğitimi için Etkili Bir Pedagoji

https://doi.org/10.17244/eku.801805
Dialogue promises fundamental opportunities for peace education pedagogy even in the hidden culture of war and violence in varying educational settings. However, despite remarkable theoretical literature focusing on critical dialogue, there is a need for reconceptualizing dialogue in the light of Paulo Freire's ideas. This paper discusses dialogue as an effective pedagogy for critical peace education. Towards this goal, it first presents an overview of the concept of dialogue. The second part of the paper provides a discussion of dialogue in critical peace education. In the concluding section, it is suggested that Freirean dialogue is a powerful pedagogy to fulfill the aims of critical peace education. It is also highlighted that research and practice regarding employing dialogue as a transformative pedagogy should be investigated and cultivated by peace educators in ways relevant to various contexts.
Diyalog, çeşitli eğitim ortamlarında gizli savaş ve şiddet kültüründe bile barış eğitimi pedagojisi için temel fırsatlar vaat ediyor. Bununla birlikte, eleştirel diyaloğa odaklanan dikkate değer kuramsal alanyazına rağmen, Paulo Freire'in fikirlerinin ışığında diyaloğu yeniden kavramsallaştırma ihtiyacı vardır. Bu makale, diyaloğu eleştirel barış eğitimi için etkili bir pedagoji olarak incelemektedir. Bu doğrultuda, bu çalışma önce diyalog kavramına genel bir bakış sunmaktadır. İkinci bölüm diyaloğun eleştirel barış eğitimindeki yerini tartışmaktadır. Sonuç bölümünde, Freire diyaloğunun, eleştirel barış eğitiminin hedeflerini gerçekleştirmek için güçlü bir pedagoji olduğu önerilmektedir. Diyaloğu dönüştürücü bir pedagoji olarak kullanmaya ilişkin araştırma ve uygulamanın barış eğitimcileri tarafından çeşitli bağlamlarla ilgili şekillerde araştırılması ve geliştirilmesi gerektiği de vurgulanmaktadır.

According to a Federal jury, Veteran Army Ranger Justin Slaby was subject to unlawful employment discrimination based on his disability at the hands of none other than the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). As an Army Ranger, Slaby served two tours in Iraq and another in Afghanistan. After his non-dominant left hand was blown off by a defective grenade in 2004, the 31-year-old applied to be a special agent for the FBI. Slaby successfully passed the basic fitness-for-duty tests, during which he demonstrated that he was proficient with weapons, even with his prosthetic left hand. As a result, he was certified as able to perform the essential functions of the job, and was admitted to the FBI's training academy in January 2011.
Just six weeks into the 21-week long training program, FBI instructors categorically concluded that Slaby could not safely fire a gun with his prosthetic left hand. This was despite the fact that Slaby uses his (uninjured) right hand to fire a weapon and can, when needed, use his prosthetic left hand to fire a gun as well. Appalled, Slaby offered, "Let me go to the firing range, and I'll show you what I can do." However, the instructors refused, as they had already made their decision to get rid of him despite his passing all the necessary tests.
During trial, Slaby demonstrated for jurors his clear ability to fire a weapon safely with his non-dominant, prosthetic left hand. Slaby's grey prosthesis appeared to firmly grip, hold, and pull the handgun's trigger with ease. Slaby could also fire with his uninjured right hand, which is his dominant hand. In addition, Slaby's attorneys presented evidence that firing with one's non-dominant hand is not an essential job function of FBI agents, who are never actually required to prove accuracy in offhand shooting (and often cannot fire accurately with their non-dominant hand). Moreover, other agents in the FBI with similar injuries have been allowed to remain special agents.
Agent Turgal, in response to Judge Trenga's questioning, eventually admitted that accommodating Slaby was possible, perhaps by using other agents to serve as actors in group scenarios. As such, Judge Trenga issued an order on November 21, 2013 requiring the FBI to start re-training Slaby on his own by April 1, 2014, or, if the FBI can put together a class of other trainees, by June 1, 2014.
Hopefully, Slaby will be able continue his path to becoming a special agent in the near future. Nonetheless, to prevent any unlawful retaliation once retraining commences, Judge Trenga ordered that the agency must seek the court's approval in the event it attempts to dismiss Slaby from training again.

How does a coder manage the Database?
but somehow have managed to figure out MVC and get a Web API going.
*What is a good way to pair the information given to me via business owners with the data I pull from Google API?
*Should I store business inventory items that don't need a description each as a separate object, or just include one long inventory list string?
*When do I have my application create an entire new database versus just add a new table in an existing database? For example, should user accounts and businesses be in two separate databases?
but a lot of it is just database design.
will be a data-driven application, database setup is important. Thanks!
all of this and it is not intimidating at all. It's just that a project of this magnitude requires me to fill many roles.
@P1xt has some really good information in his post. I've also been involved in various large scale web application projects at my current job using the same technologies you've described above. A couple of minor changes I'd make to his table schema would be to add an IsActive column to the User Table and an IsDeleted field to the Products Table. Then when you're displaying the inventory, you can filter it to display only active users/businesses and only their current products without losing the information for previous orders. When a business decides to "delete" a product, you just change the IsDeleted flag and it appears to be removed from their portal yet you maintain the information should they decide to look up past orders.
Due to some of the issues we have had with Entity Framework, another change I'd make is to add a key field to the Inventory Table. I only suggest this due to the way Entity Framework handles composite keys (using multiple fields as the key). We've found it to be much easier to maintain doing it this way. I would then add a Unique constraint to the User ID and Product ID fields to help prevent duplicates in the table.
As for your question about whether to place products without a description in a single or separate records, you definitely want each one to be a separate record. It will be much easier to maintain and update the information if each item is its own separate item. You'll also want to keep the business and inventory information in the same database. It becomes extremely complicated to try to join tables from different databases together. The way we do it where I work is we have different databases for each unrelated project and create different tables for the information we need to store.
Wow, thanks for that great start you guys both! Very helpful information! Seriously.
Gosh I love this stuff! I definitely feel like I'm a back-end kinda guy for sure. Going to take what I just learned from you guys and dig deeper. I feel like if you really want to be good at back-end you should probably know database design huh? I was thinking about it today and I realized, honestly… That's all what 90% of the most popular sites are… They are all based on their database. The rest of the application just deals with presenting the data, but they are big data driven applications! I suppose this means that database skills are going to skyrocket in demand.
@P1xt - You have a point about the data-cleansing and quite frankly, I did a lot of drawing up the design for this application last night and discovered that I was trying to get too fancy too early. Frankly, there is no need for my application to pull data from Google in the beginning stages; I can just collect the data via form submission from my clients and then map them with my data using Google maps API. I think that would be a much better start, especially since this is a first real project for me. I suppose we could always add the bells and whistles later on if/when the program becomes more popular. I am definitely one of those guys who has a tendency to think way bigger and way too far ahead compared to how I should be to the point where I then overwhelm myself and never really get started. Putting an end to that for this project and sticking with the basics first!
That said, Your guys' posts were super helpful because even for the basic, I have to be able to properly set up a relational db.
I can just collect the data via form submission from my clients and then map them with my data using Google maps API.
That really fits in with the idea of building your 'Minimum Viable Product', so it sounds like you're on the right track.
Some key points (to me) to know about database design.
Understand the concept of normalization, if you're building a relationship database, it's vital.
What columns and rows represent when you're talking about relational databases.
Also - not sure how it works but make sure you need a relational database - if your design works better with NoSQL designs, look into it (data is stored as objects, I don't fully understand it myself).
So - if you have any other questions i'm more than happy to help out anywhere I can - drop me a direct message.
Regarding user accounts - if you are using ASP.NET MVC templates, you can check a box and have the template create user authentication for you. It's a big chunk of work if you do the authentication/verification yourself. After you pick MVC for your template, you get another dialog that gives you more template options within the MVC category. That's where you can choose (1) Forms authentication or (2) Windows authentication.
(1) Forms authentication will generate a local database for users inside your project's App_Data folder. That database has tables for user accounts, it does password hashing or encryption, user permissions, etc. And it makes code files to handle all of that. It's up to you to decide if you want to keep the tables there in the local database or move them to a sql server. I have maintained small projects where the user athentication tables (user roles, passwords, etc) are in the same database as business data. As people noted above, books or articles on database modeling and normalization will help a lot with database design. It's a sizeable topic on it's own. But yeah, you probably want user authentication tables to be in the same database as business logic.
(2) Windows authentication, on the other hand, will attempt to log people on using their windows accounts instead of the database credentials. In that case, you don't create any user authentication tables at all. I think that just makes you edit a configuration file and your application will ask windows to collect your network password when you log in.
ASP.NET MVC templates can create the user authentication/verification for you saving considerable time and effort.
How do I actually put this into use? In other words, say I have a table called Bars with a listing of Bars (created this as a fun little project), a bunch of attribs and ids… Now I have a table of Beers which has beer attribs and the primary key for the beers as well.
But when it comes to programming this in, this is where I'm getting tripped up. How do I now actually use the above scheme to tell my program and my users which bars have which beers and which beers are at which bars? I don't need help with pulling the data in C#, I just need help with how to actually join this "middleman" table into the equation, if that makes sense.
@TheOnlyRealTodd, which version of Entity Framework are you using and are you using Code First, Database First, or Model First design?
Using Entity Framework, you'll need to do the queries using Linq queries. A tool that I use to test my queries is LinqPad. It has a free version (without Intellisense) and a paid version (with Intellisense). If you are not familiar with using linq queries, I'd highly recommend finding a tutorial on how they work.
I'm using Code First Workflow, which I think is why I'm having a slightly harder time visualizing this. Honestly, everything has worked out surprisingly well (I worked on it for like 4 hrs last night and got some stuff going without an error messages; definitely a first in my coding career thus far lol).
I am also using AutoMapper to map my viewmodels and data transfer objects to my domain classes for time and simplicity's sake.
LINQ is definitely one of my weaknesses because the logic is like opposite of SQL which threw me the hell off (you do the SELECT at the bottom?!?!?). However, I have been using a little LINQ. I feel like it just comes down to me putting each of the LINQ methods into use and I'll pick them up which luckily I am doing some on this project.

Send Flowers for Joyce
Plant a Tree for Joyce
Joyce Ousley
July 29, 1962 ~ December 10, 2022 (age 60) 60 Years Old
Read more about the life story of Joyce and share your memory.
Whenever Joyce Ousley walked into a room, she brightened it with her warm smile, outgoing personality, and laugh.
"Wherever she went, whatever she did, it was always Kaseemah! Kaseemah!" said her lifelong friend Boyd Kurkland, referring to the nickname she adopted as a teen. "She was well-known and very outspoken. She was just sweet, beautiful, loving, wise. Everybody loved her."
Joyce Ousley, of Williamsport, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022, at Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital. She was 60.
Joyce was born in Newark, N.J., on July 29, 1962, to the late Charles Sr. and Dorothy (Woolridge) Ousley. The fifth of seven children, Joyce grew up in the Hayes Homes, attended Newark Public Schools, and graduated from Central High School, where she was a cheerleader and the class valedictorian. Her favorite color was red.
In 1982, Joyce was blessed by the arrival of her daughter, Tiffany Ousley, whom she adored. Joyce worked in security briefly at Newark Airport. But raising and caring for Tiffany became her life's work.
"She was always there for her daughter. Whenever her daughter was going through anything, she always had her back." said Joyce's brother, Gregory Ousley. "They were like sisters."
Tiffany recalled how her mom had her hair done up each year, brought her a new pair of her favorite sneakers, and made her look pretty for end-of-the-year school events.
"What I will miss most about my mom is her laugh," Tiffany said.
Joyce loved her family and liked to dance, sing and party in her spare time, which she did until she faced health challenges that required hospitalization.
Joyce is survived by a daughter, Tiffany Ousley of Columbus, Georgia; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two brothers, Gregory Ousley of Williamsport; and Tyrone Ousley of Newark, N.J; an Aunt, Hattie Taliaferro of Newark, N.J.; three other aunts; two uncles; and a host of nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by a sister, Eunice Ousley, and three brothers, Charles, Darnell, and Curtis Ousley.
A viewing will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2022, at Maneval Allen Redmond Cremation & Funeral Home, 500 W. Fourth St., Williamsport. A homegoing service will follow on Wednesday at the funeral home, with Pastor Janice Sapp officiating.

Why Iyengar-Yoga?
Yoga-Philosophy
B.K.S. (Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja) Iyengar is a living yoga master, born in southern India on December 14, 1918.
He is the author of the classic text Light on Yoga, and has been teaching since 1936, after a childhood marred by poverty and illness. When he started as a teenager, his body was weak and stiff, but he soon found that the postures improved his health. More than 75 years later, he's still practising daily, and his method has helped spread yoga far beyond India.
The technique is primarily physical, emphasising precision in bodily alignment, but the effects are also profound on the mind. As Mr Iyengar explained in 2005:
"When I left India and came to Europe and America a half century ago, open-mouthed audiences gaped at the presentation of yogasana positions, seeing them as some exotic form of contortionism. These very same asanas have now been embraced by many millions of people throughout the world, and their physical and therapeutic benefits are widely acknowledged. This in itself is an extraordinary transformation, as yoga has lit a fire in the hearts of so many."
B.K.S. Iyengar's gift as a teacher has been to make this systematically accessible, even to those with serious ailments, by the use of supports or props. This approach has changed how yoga is taught everywhere. In his words, the practice is for everyone:
"What most people want is the same. Most people simply want physical and mental health, understanding and wisdom, and peace and freedom. Often our means of pursuing these basic human needs come apart at the seams, as we are pulled by the different and often competing demands of human life. Yoga, as it was understood by its sages, is designed to satisfy all these human needs in a comprehensive, seamless whole. Its goal is nothing less than to attain the integrity of wholeness – oneness with ourselves and as a consequence oneness with all that lies beyond ourselves. We become the harmonious microcosm in the universal."
As Mr Iyengar stresses, this process is transformative:
"Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit the broken pieces together. Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life. Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed. To a yogi, freedom implies not being battered by the dualities of life, its ups and downs, its pleasures and its suffering. It implies equanimity and ultimately that there is an inner serene core of one's being that is never out of touch with the unchanging, eternal infinite."
B.K.S. Iyengar lives in Pune, India, next to the Institute he created. There, his insight is shared with new generations, by his children, Geeta and Prashant, who are themselves distinguished teachers and authors.

Father's Rights in Washington
Establish Rights to Your Child With a Paternity Suit
More appropriately, the subject of fathers' rights should be called "children's rights."
Mothers no longer have the sole responsibility for raising children. Today, many fathers participate in raising their children and seek parental rights if they are not recognized as the children's legal father. An experienced family law attorney can help you obtain rights to your child.
Please note that the term "father's rights" is anathema to the actual process. Some law firms use the term to attract potential clients. We don't. Women have just as many rights, but generally speaking, children have the most. We endorse the term "children's rights." This firm acknowledges that both fathers and mothers have rights. In some cases, they may be different, but to suggest that there is a special legal category called "father's rights" is improper.
If you are seeking help in this area, Anderson, Fields, McIlwain & Eubanks, Inc., P.S., can assist you. Our Seattle lawyers have the knowledge and experience you need to establish your rights to your child. We understand that you want to be an important part of your child's life and we can help you fight for a place in your child's future. To arrange an appointment, please call our lawyers at 206-905-4290 or toll-free 866-970-4558 or contact us online.
You Can Take Action
An unwed father has the right to file a paternity action and legally establish himself as his child's father. If a father is already paying child support, he can file a suit to enforce visitation (now called parenting time) rights. In addition, he can file for custody (residential time) if he believes the mother is unfit.
After a man has been legally established as the father, he has the same rights to the child as the mother. The court cannot show an automatic preference for mothers over fathers. However, in each case, the judge will consider what is in the best interest of the child, just as in a custody proceeding during a divorce.
Please call us today at 206-905-4290 or toll-free 866-970-4558 for an appointment with our Washington paternity and child custody lawyers.

Trude Jalowetz Guermonprez was born in 1910 in Danzig, Germany and attended the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Halle-Saale, where she studied weaving under the tutelage of Bauhaus-trained artist Benita Otte. In 1933, she earned a professional diploma from the Textile Engineering School in Berlin and earned fellowship grants to study Scandinavian weaving in Sweden and Finland. Upon completion of her studies, Guermonprez moved to Holland where she continued to foster her theoretical understanding of technical weave structures and patterns, working for the Dutch hand weaving production studio known as Het Paapje.
Guermonprez came from a lineage of artists; her father, Dr. Heinrich Jalowetz was a musicologist and opera conductor, and her mother, Jalena, was a voice teacher and bookbinder. Both of her parents immigrated to the United States in 1933 to assume faculty positions at the avant-garde Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Guermonprez, newly married to a young photographer named Paul Guermonprez, remained in Holland, working as a freelance designer for textile mills and architectural firms. On D-Day in 1944, her husband was tragically killed while fighting in the Dutch Resistance. A few years later, Guermonprez's father passed away and her mother asked her to join her and her sister, Lisa, at Black Mountain College. Coincidentally at this time, Josef and Anni Albers were taking a sabbatical to travel to Mexico, and so Anni asked Guermonprez if she would assume leadership of the weaving program in her absence. Upon Anni's return, she was asked to continue as a full-time faculty member, and continued teaching at Black Mountain College until the dissolution of the weaving program in 1949.
Instead of returning to Europe, Guermonprez decided to move westward to northern California to join fellow European émigré and Halle-Saale classmate, the Bauhaus-trained ceramicist Marguerite Wildenhain at the Pond Farm Workshops. Conceived by Gordon and Jane Err, Pond Farm was an artist community that aimed to foster creativity and above all, technical prowess in ceramics and other crafts. Though short-lived, Pond Farm served as an important incubator for the development of California craftsmen in the mid-20th century.
During her time at Pond Farm, Guermonprez met and married John Elsesser – a California builder and craftsmen. They settled in San Francisco and after a brief teaching position at the California School of Fine Arts (now the San Francisco Art Institute), she became a full-time faculty member at California College of Arts and Crafts (now known as the California College of Art & Design). In 1960 she was named Chair of the Crafts Department, and continued teaching there for nearly seventeen years.
A technically adept weaver, Guermonprez created many samples and full-scale works for architecture and industry; however, by the mid-1960s-early 1970s, she adopted a less-functional, more representational style of weaving. Works such as "Notes to John I & II" (1966), "Our Mountains" (1971) and "Mandy's Motto" (1975), exemplify the capacity of textiles to transcend their materiality and register as works of art. In the 1960s and 70s, many fiber artists were moving toward large-scale, sculptural installations. For example, the "off the loom" works of Kay Sekimachi Stocksdale demonstrate the experimental and imaginative approaches to fiber around this time. While her fiber-art contemporaries aligned their works with sculpture, her textiles were more akin to paintings – deeply personal, poetic and quiet reflections on the human experience. Despite her focus on textiles as materials for contemplation, Guermonprez continued to design industrial fabrics for New York and California textile manufacturers, as well as private commissions for individuals, architectural firms, and synagogues.
In 1970 Guermonprez was awarded the American Institute of Architects' Craftsman's Award, but she received little recognition during her lifetime. Trude Guermonprez died from cancer in 1976. Sadly, the only exhibition devoted to her work was posthumous – "The Tapestries of Trude Guermonprez" – at the Oakland Museum of California in 1982.
A talented weaver and profoundly influential educator, Trude Guermonprez is perhaps better known by the notoriety of her students – Kay Sekimachi Stocksdale, Ann Wilson, and Jane Lackey, among others. Though often omitted from art historical discourse, Trude Guermonprez played an important role in the American craft and fiber art movements of the 1950s, 60s and even into the 70s, particularly during her tenure at the California College of Arts and Crafts. Guermonprez is a part of a notable roster of innovative California college educators pushing craft forward in this country – Ed Rossbach at the University of California, Berkeley, Mary Jane Leland at Long Beach State College and Bernard Kester at University of California Los Angeles. Furthermore, her Bauhaus-influenced disciplined abstraction for hand woven textiles greatly contributed to the development of modernism in California and beyond.

— it brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.
Welcome July! My garden's cup runneth over with every color in the rainbow. Dahlia and Sweet Pea for the vase on our table, a sprinkling of chive blossoms and nasturtiums on our salad, a few blueberries and alpine strawberries atop our breakfast yogurt, fava beans and mint for risotto. Summer, you are delicious and oh so delightful.
When I look out onto our tiny slice of urban heaven, I feel proud of the beauty and the bounty we pack into 700 square feet. Every inch is filled with pure joy.
Spring in my garden–a feast of color–and my favorite time of year. Every day I see something new that wasn't there the day before, and a world that was filled with grays and browns is now flush with every hue in the rainbow. With my hands in the soil, surrounded by my beloved plants, I couldn't be any happier.
Many of my readers know gardening is a passion of mine, so I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I love to explore gardens and parks when I travel. My 'Garden Bucket List' is is much longer than what I'll be able to see in my lifetime, but as spring breathes new life into the flora of our world, I'd like to share five of the gorgeous gardens I've had the pleasure to visit.
Kauai's Limahuli Garden and Preserve was breathtaking. It's located at the end of the road (literally) on the north shore of Hawaii. As I toured the amazingly diverse gardens, I felt like I got a glimpse of what the Hawaiian islands looked like a long time ago. Dense greenery on the lower levels of the park are coupled with spectacular views of the ocean from the top of the hill. Limahuli is also filled with information about native Hawaiian plants and, sadly, invasive plants that are taking over tropical paradise. In the shadow of the Napali coast mountains, Limahuli is well worth a visit if you are on Kauai.
Ritan Park, my favorite park in Beijing was stunning, but in a different way than most of the other parks I saw there, like the Temple of Heaven or Beihai, which were so expansive it was hard to comprehend their size and grandeur. Ritan, with its stone boat cafe, masses of lily pads and weeping willow trees was intimate and accessible, the perfect spot to sit and meditate. Plus, it's only a stone's throw away from the Silk Market, if you're in Beijing and need a break from the craziness. Such a contrast!
Monet's Giverny was one of the gardens on my bucket list. While the crowds were a bit overwhelming, I feel so fortunate I was finally able to visit when we were in France a few years ago. Throngs aside, the gardens are spectacularly beautiful. Monet's house, too, was a festival of color. I loved the bright green window shutters adorning the outside of his home. And if his kitchen, bright-as-the-sun yellow–and I mean all yellow, every last thing–doesn't perk you up, nothing will.
Of course, one cannot visit Paris without wandering through the Jardin des Tuileries. The gardens have a certain je ne sais quois that makes them feel oh-so-French. Whether you're meandering along the grand promenade passing by flower gardens and manicured shrubbery, sitting at one of the cafes in the park sipping wine and nibbling French cheese, or watching the sunset cast orange hues on the fountains, the Tuileries are not to be missed.
A trip to London would be remiss without a stroll through Kensington Gardens. Magnificent trees, arbors, flower beds…and a royal palace! So elegant and serene. I've seen pictures of the park fully decked out in its green-leafed glory, but even when the trees were bare in late March, Kensington was still lovely and peaceful, more so I thought than its famous next door neighbor, Hyde Park.
One of Little Bird's favorite books is 'The Carrot Seed," written by Ruth Krauss and originally published in 1945. The story features a little boy who plants a carrot seed. No one in his family thinks it will come up. But the little boy knows better. He pulls the weeds and waters his carrot until, one day, a carrot grows. Just like he knew it would.
Her first crop was decidedly on the petite size. Even though this variety, Nantes, can be grown in a pot, we clearly need a larger pot. But this pot of carrots was her first crop, hers and hers alone.
The proof is in the pudding–er–carrots.
My beloved garden, look how you've grown.
you should live a lovely life.
Our garden, like many things in our lives, has been a long labor of love. There is a sign inside our house, given to us by a close friend: Love grows in small houses. And indeed it does. Both inside and out.
"One tablespoon, taken at bedtime," said Mrs. Rabbit pouring a Peter a bit of chamomile tea. Peter rabbit was feeling rather poorly after dining on too much lettuce, French beans and radishes in Mr. McGregor's garden.
Mrs. Rabbit was one smart mama bunny. She knew her medicinal herbs. Chamomile has been used for thousands of years for numerous ailments, including sleep disorders, anxiety, digestion and intestinal conditions, skin infections and inflammation (such as eczema), wound healing, infantile colic, teething pains, and diaper rash. Chamomile is an uber-herb, a veritable one-stop cure all. It's even the national flower of Russia!
In the U.S., chamomile is best known as an ingredient in herbal tea preparations advertised for mild sedating effects. There are two plants known as chamomile. One is the more popular German chamomile (Matricaria recutita), while the other is called the Roman, or English, chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile). Although they belong to different species, they are used to treat similar conditions. I know I'm not the only one who has sipped on chamomile tea hoping I'd soon feel sleepy or at least less stressed.
But this summer I've got other plans for our miniature daisies (Chamomile is a member of the daisy family) because I recently found a recipe for Chamomile Cordial. Cordials are sweetened syrups infused with herbs, spices or plants. They are a snap to make (like the lavender syrup I blogged about a few weeks back) and the possibilities of herbs that can be infused is endless.
Fresh (or dried) German chamomile flower heads are used. Chamomile is easy to grow and it makes a fun addition to an herb bed or edging along a walkway. Or, it's readily purchased at most any grocery store.
For our first round of tasting, we sampled our Chamomile Cordial sans booze with 'Lavender DRY Soda' as a spritzy mixer. It was lovely and lightly herby, a drink that was both refreshing and peaceful on the palate.
The next time we enjoyed our flowery cordial, we pulled out the big guns and floated cognac on top as the recipe below instructs. Big Papa and I sat outside on our garden bench enjoying a warm summer's night. Stress melted away. I felt relaxed, slightly sleepy even. Hmmm…could it be the chamomile or was that the cognac talking?
How the Doctor's brow should smile, Crown'd with wreaths of camomile.
Note: Chamomile is also part of the Asteraceae plant family, which includes ragweed and chrysanthemum, so people with allergies may react when they use chamomile either internally or topically.
Add chamomile flowers to a muslin steeping bag or fine mesh tea strainer Chamomile seeds are quite small and thin so be sure to use fine mesh so they don't escape and float in your syrup. Steep in boiled water until liquid is stained yellow and perfumed, about 20 minutes. Press any reserved liquid out from the muslin bag and discard the solids. Add the honey and stir until dissolved. Keep in the refrigerator until cool.
Once cooled completely, add crushed ice to a glass. Pour in about ½ cup of the chamomile cordial and top with equal amounts seltzer water. Garnish with a thin slice of cucumber to fancy it up. If you like, add a float of cognac and serve immediately.
Store cordial in a clean jar or bottle, covered in the fridge where it will last for several weeks.
Big Papa and I are an online dating success story. In his profile he wrote, "Frankly, there's something really therapeutic about pulling weeds after a long week at work." When I read that, I thought, "This guy is for me!" I love to garden. Feeling the earth between my fingers is elemental, and watching plants grow and thrive in our yard is one of life's greatest pleasures.
During summer, the Urban Cabin's little backyard oasis becomes an edible feast. In the midst of our uber-urban neighborhood, we have two yellow plum trees, flowers that make their way to our salad, tomatoes, zucchini, Scarlett Runner Beans, a plethora of herbs, and even a corn stalk or two.
So, when I saw the "Armenian Cucumbers" at City People's Garden Store, I snatched them up without even a moment's thought. Armenian Cucumbers…how cool is that!
The Armenian Cucumber was introduced from Armenia to Italy back in the 1400s. It is sometimes called snake melon or snake cucumber, because botanically it is a close relative of the honeydew melon, and when it grows, it sometimes curls into a snake-like shape. Armenian Cucumbers are considered hard to find, and are regarded as one of the best slicing cucumbers. The crisp, thin-skinned, and mild-flavored cuke has soft seeds, and grows approximately 30 to 36 inches long, on the ground or on a trellis. It is a "burpless" variety that is easy to digest.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and chill. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint before serving.
Bari akh.orzh.ak or Bon Appétit in Armenian!

Adult ADHD: Which Type Are You?
There is more to adult ADHD than a diagnosis and the doctor writing a prescription. With three subtypes of adult ADHD, there are treatment differences revolving around the type that you have. Receiving a diagnosis is not enough – developing an individual treatment focus and design around your needs is what makes for a successful outcome.
Adult ADHD can have a crippling effect on a relationship, a job, friendships, and overall satisfaction with life. There are three subtypes of ADHD identified. Two of the types of adult ADHD are "Inattentive," and "Hyperactivity-Impulsivity." The third type is the Combined type, the one most commonly diagnosed, where there is both hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention.
Being diagnosed with the combined type of adult ADHD means that you may have symptoms from both the Hyperactive-Impulsive and Inattentive types of ADHD. Working with a specially trained adult ADHD psychiatrist pairs experience with a successful history of developing individual treatment and medication plans that work.
Call Dr. Hege for an appointment convenient for your work and home-life schedules.

ADAS is very excited to announce the accreditation of a new ADAS training facility located in Tasmania. Commercial Dive Academy (CDA) became operational in February 2018 and is located on the sites previously used by The Underwater Centre Tasmania (TUCT) before its closure.
CDA has informed ADAS that it intends to extend its training scope in the near future to include Closed Bell (Part 4) and offshore supervisor training and assessment. At present amendments to equipment are being made to facilitate that application.
Two ADAS courses have been completed at CDA since February, with very positive feedback being received from both students and trainers alike.
ADAS congratulates the managers of CDA on their hard work and determination in creating this school and for helping to fill the gap left by the closure of TUCT.
Please contact CDA direct with any queries about course schedules and future training opportunities.


Mojo Maritime Ltd aims to develop a low motion floating platform for the marine renewable energy industry, capable of carrying site analysis equipment such as Lidar (light detection and ranging).
At present Lidar equipment has to be fitted to platforms fixed to the seabed in order to ensure sufficient measurement confidence at significantly higher cost than anticipated from the floating platform.
This GBI project looks at the final design, local fabrication, deployment, testing and decommissioning of Mojo Maritime's low motion platform.
The platform would incorporates an innovative retractable ballast system (for which the company has a patent pending), which would enable low draft in port and in transit, whilst having sufficient draft required for stability at site.
As a result of the retractable ballast system, the platform can be "tuned" both to the wave climate in which it would be deployed, and the specific Lidar "payload" which would be carried, thereby allowing for large scale production rather than site-specific design and production.
Given the fact all offshore wind projects require a significant amount of reliable site analysis data to receive financial backing; this project is directly geared towards lowering the costs associated with achieving the UK's renewable energy targets, with a direct focus on offshore wind.

NIMH Announces Availability of Funds for Competitive Revision Applications for Targeted Research on Mental Health Disparities
Notice Number: NOT-MH-10-021
Update: The following update relating to this announcement has been issued:
June 24, 2010 - See Notice NOT-MH-10-026, Amends this Notice to include P20 and P30 grants among the selected active NIMH grants eligible for competitive revision applications.
Receipt Date: August 31, 2010
Earliest Anticipated Start Date: April 1, 2011
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), (http://www.nimh.nih.gov)
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) announces the opportunity for investigators and United States institutions/organizations with selected active NIMH-supported grants to submit revision applications (formerly termed competitive supplements) to support an expansion of the scope or research protocol to conduct secondary analyses to target research questions addressing mental health disparities.
NIMH is seeking innovative, multidisciplinary research that uses existing data sources to increase knowledge of: (1) methods for measuring and tracking mental health disparities; (2) epidemiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among members of racial/ethnic/sex groups with serious mental illness (SMI); and (3) identification of differences in engagement, outcomes, or mediators for diverse groups in clinical trials. An application may focus on one or more of the three areas.
Background and Scientific Areas of Interest
A. Methods for Measuring and Tracking Mental Health Disparities
Over the last decade, the literature on the detection of mental health disparities has been enriched substantially. However, the field does not appear to have validated measures to track changes in racial/ethnic, sex, socioeconomic, and geographic disparities over time. These types of measures are important for research, clinical work, and policymakers. This notice seeks to encourage the use of existing data sources to develop methods and measures for quantitatively characterizing mental health disparities over time.
Scientific areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Development of preliminary methods for characterizing mental health disparities;
Development, testing, and validation of a mental health disparities index or set of indices to measure disparities in the domains of race/ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and/or geography;
Analyses of specific cultural variables that might impact measures of mental health disparities.
B. Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Risk among Members of Racial/Ethnic Groups with SMI
Compared with the general population in the United States, people with SMI experience, on average, a twenty-five year reduction in life expectancy. This reduction is largely attributable largely to CVD, which is the leading cause of death among people with SMI. Similarly, compared to non-Hispanic Whites in the United States, African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanics have shorter life expectancies and higher rates of CVD. Despite strikingly similar patterns in morbidity and mortality, a paucity of research exists regarding the intersections of race/ethnicity, SMI, and CVD mortality. Whereas differences in the onset, course, and outcome of CVD by racial/ethnic group membership are well characterized, less is known about the contribution of sex differences or racial or ethnic group membership to elevated CVD mortality in the context of SMI. This notice seeks to encourage the analysis of existing data sets to increase the understanding of the intersections among SMI, race/ethnicity, and CVD morbidity and mortality.
Examples of research congruent with the intent of this notice include, but are not limited to, the following:
Analyses of the prevalence and correlates of CVD risk factors across racial/ethnic groups among people with SMI;
Analyses of the potential modification of CVD morbidity and mortality risk by race/ethnicity among people with SMI.
C. Identification of Differences in Engagement, Outcomes, or Mediators for Diverse Groups in Clinical Trials
Disparities in access, availability, and use of mental health services are well established. However, published efficacy and effectiveness studies often do not report findings specific to participants from diverse racial/ethnic populations, sex, socioeconomic groups, or geographic locations. Establishing an evidence base for effective mental health interventions for diverse groups requires inclusion of adequate numbers of women and members of racial/ethnic and other underrepresented groups in clinical trials. Secondary analysis of existing data sources that will deepen the evidence base for intervention effectiveness in diverse groups is encouraged.
Subgroup analyses of treatment engagement and outcomes in intervention studies;
Analyses of potential mediators of treatment efficacy and effectiveness within or across racial/ethnic, sex, socioeconomic, or geographically diverse groups.
This notice calls for competitive revision applications to selected active NIMH grants, including, R01, R21, R34, R37, P50, U01, and U19.
To be eligible, the "parent" grant on which the revision application is based must be active at the time the revision application is submitted and the research proposed in the revision must be accomplished within the current competitive segment. The project period of the competitive supplement may not exceed 1 year (12 months). If a no-cost extension is needed to complete the work proposed in the revision, the no-cost extension must be in place before the revision application is submitted. Only one revision request may be submitted per NIMH-funded parent grant.
NIMH encourages the participation of individuals from racial and ethnic groups underrepresented in biomedical and behavioral research, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Budget and Funding Information
The NIMH intends to commit up to $3 million in total costs per year in FY 2011 to fund up to 14 competitive revisions in response to this announcement. Funding for competitive revisions to existing parent awards will be available in FY 2011. Due to the limited, one-year nature of these funds, competitive revision applications may be requested for no more than one year (12 months); therefore the scope and budget of the requested revision application must reflect aims and goals that can be accomplished within that limited timeframe.
An applicant may request a budget of up to $125,000 for direct costs associated with the proposed new work (excluding consortium F&A). The maximum duration of each award will be limited to one year. Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs will be paid at the full, negotiated rate. The budget format (modular or detailed) should follow the format of the parent application.
Although the budget plans of the NIMH provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this solicitation are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
Application Review Process
The mission of the NIH is to support science in pursuit of knowledge about the biology and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability. As part of this mission, applications submitted to the NIH for grants or cooperative agreements to support biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
Applications that are complete will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by appropriate scientific review group(s) convened by the NIMH in accordance with NIH peer review procedures (http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/peer/) using the review criteria stated below. Applicants will be notified regarding the review outcome.
As part of the scientific peer review, all applications will:
Undergo a selection process in which only those applications deemed to have the highest scientific and technical merit, generally the top half of applications under review, will be discussed and assigned an overall impact/priority score;
Receive a written critique; and
Receive a second level of review by the National Advisory Mental Health Council.
Overall Impact. Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the standard review criteria, and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed). The review committee will consider the overall scientific merit of the new work proposed, the appropriateness of the match between the parent project and the proposed work, and the likelihood for the project to achieve the goal of increasing knowledge in the three targeted areas of mental health disparity research.
If the revision application relates to a specific line of investigation presented in the original application that was not recommended for approval by the committee, then the committee will consider whether the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group are adequate and whether substantial changes are clearly evident. Additionally, the committee will consider the feasibility of accomplishing the specific aims of the revision application within the requested project period.
Scored Review Criteria. The standard review criteria for research grant applications and cooperative agreements will be used by reviewers for evaluating the scientific and technical merit of all applications as outlined in this Notice: NOT-OD-09-025.
Additional Review Criteria. As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider the following additional items in the determination of scientific and technical merit, but will not give separate scores for these items: Protections for Human Subjects; Inclusion of Women, Children, and Minorities; Vertebrate Animals; and Biohazards.
Additional Review Considerations. As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will address each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score: Budget and Period Support; Select Agent Research; and Resource Sharing Plans.
After the peer review of the application is completed, the PD/PI will be able to access his or her Summary Statement (written critique) via the NIH eRA Commons.
Applications submitted in response to this funding opportunity will compete for available funds with all other recommended applications. The following will be considered in making funding decisions:
Scientific and technical merit of the proposed project as determined by scientific peer review;
Availability of funds; and
Translational impact and relevance of the proposed project to program priorities.
Award Notices
If the application is considered for funding, NIH will request "just-in-time" information from the applicant. For details, applicants may refer to the NIH Grants Policy Statement Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General. A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA) will be provided to the applicant organization. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the authorizing document. Once all administrative and programmatic issues have been resolved, the NoA will be generated via email notification from the awarding component to the grantee business official.
Terms of Award
All awards will be subject to the standard NIH terms of award. Selection of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs. See Section IV.5., "Funding Restrictions."
A Program Official from NIMH will be assigned to each funded application and will assume responsibility for normal stewardship of the awards.
All NIH grant and cooperative agreement awards include the NIH Grants Policy Statement as part of the NoA. For these terms of award, see the NIH Grants Policy StatementPart II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart A: General and Part II: Terms and Conditions of NIH Grant Awards, Subpart B: Terms and Conditions for Specific Types of Grants, Grantees, and Activities.
