Why Flemish people adapt their Dutch to Dutch people and not other way around

How does a scientist find out how people adjust their language use when they are together? People start talking differently with someone who doesn't speak their language or is hard of hearing, but how do you measure that? Prof. Marc Swerts, together with a colleague from Antwerp and his very creative students, devised a game method that shows that Flemish people are more likely to adapt to Dutch people than the other way around. This was shown by analyses of word choice as well as pronunciation. Their research was recently published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Communication. An interview with Prof. Marc Swerts about his study into linguistic and non-verbal adaptation behavior.
"I am working as a Belgian in the Netherlands and sometimes I am corrected for my Flemish Dutch, for example. My intuition is that a Belgian will not be so quick to correct a Dutchman. It is often assumed that interlocutors in the course of a dialog take over elements from each other. But I noticed that, for example, the Belgian footballer, Dries Mertens, tried very hard on Dutch TV to speak like a Dutchman, while Jan Mulder continues to speak in his Dutch in Belgium. So the question is whether you always move towards each other in equal measure in a conversation. That prompted us to explore that in more detail through a game with people who speak variants of the same language. And who don't relate to each other hierarchically, because then you can't move equally."
Game with icons
Swerts and his team therefore invited pairs of Flemish and Dutch students to play a kind of sea-battle game, which they did via a Skype connection, with participants not seeing each other. A crucial element of the game was that the players had to use certain icons, which are typically named differently in Flanders and in Dutch (e.g., microwave and microwave oven; a crate of beer and a tub of beer; sofa or couch) or whose words are pronounced differently, e.g., tram (in French and in English), or bikini and salami with stress on second or first syllable. Prior to the game, as a 0-measurement, it was checked how the Flemish and Dutch candidates actually named or pronounced the icons. The outcome was that the Flemish systematically adapted more in word use and pronunciation to the Dutch than vice versa."
What do these results on language use say about our behavior and motives?
These results are important for our models of adaptive behavior in communication, which is often not symmetrical. It says something about differences in language insecurity between Flemish and Dutch people. Officially, there is no Flemish language, it is Belgian Dutch, and historically you also notice that over the centuries Flemish has come to resemble Dutch more and more, becoming a standard language. A major difference between the use of Dutch as a standard language in the two countries is that for many Flemings the standard language is not the mother tongue. It is a language used at work or in formal contexts, while in domestic circles or with friends dialect or a regional variant is spoken.
Flemings thus adapt relatively often, but on the other hand, their compatriots laugh and even disapprove when they notice that fellow Flemings start to resemble their northern neighbors in language use. My children sometimes laugh at my expressions because I sometimes sound more Dutch, so I have also unconsciously adapted."
Robots and avatars
The experiment fits into Swert's research, which focuses on nonverbal communication and prosody (speaking style), which complement, nuance and therefore make sense of speech.
Where does your passion for this topic come from?
"I am interested in adaptive behavior, what a person adopts from another one, but also how we use different forms of body language, such as gestures, a movement of the eyebrow, a head nod, etc, to guide the interaction with the other. Through those visual expressions, we nuance our own expressions, but also provide feedback to the interlocutor. Until recently, it was difficult to do this kind of research because we did not have suitable tools, so it remained unexplored territory for a long time. But now we can make and edit videos, have robots and avatars to test specific hypotheses about nonverbal behavior.
Insights from this type of work are relevant even for people with communicative disabilities. A blind person, for example, will not nod of his or her own accord during a conversation because he or she has literally never seen others do it, but it can be taught so that a communication with such a person immediately comes across much more naturally. People with autism also need techniques to improve their non-verbal skills.
For example, we are now working together with a Swedish university that wants to develop a robot with a human face: we are trying to find out whether we can use this to create different personalities that give feedback in different ways, and therefore come across as friendly, extrovert, or interested. Hopefully we can use the results to teach people to communicate better, so that they are better understood or so that the interaction is much smoother."

Police reported "multiple fatalities' in a mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday. One suspect was dead at the scene, the local sheriff's office said, adding that it did not know if there was a second suspect and officers were "finding many people hiding in locked areas".
The shooting reportedly took place at an online gaming tournament.
The Jacksonville Landing area contains restaurants and shops and is situated along the St Johns river.
An eSports team, comPlexity Gaming, said on Twitter one of its players "was grazed in the hand" but was "away from the scene and safe".
Vic Micolucci, a reporter for local station WJXT, told CNN there were at least 11 victims, of whom four were understood to be dead.

It's been two weeks since our HHH - the memory still vivid. At 5 A.M. we were milling on the first tee. Fairway #1 lit by a full moon & a billion stars. The ocean's low-tide roared gently within earshot.
With nary a practice swing we amazingly ~ for Todd & me anyway ~ hit the fairway with our tee shots. By the 2rd hole the sun found its way out of bed to join us. Our highly anticipated HIKE had begun; 100 holes the goal.
33 HOLES behind us & we were off to the next venue.
Old Mac was a challenge. Maybe it was the wind that had picked-up? Maybe a bit of fatigue was settling in? Maybe the gravitas of a HUNDRED HOLES was registering into our now (somewhat)aching bodies? Whatever the case, after 3 hours, 51 HOLES were complete...and after a quick change of shoes, socks, shirts, & a 45 minute lunch break, we were off to Bandon Trails.
We started on #6. If you've played Trails you can appreciate that this would be the "make-or-break-your-spirit" round. The winds were gusting 25-30mph, and although the temperature peaked at a tepid 65 degrees, the elevation changes & sandy soil made for an exhausting trek. Midway through we realized we would be 'pressed for time' and fearing the worst,(NOT finishing!) the pace quickened. On the par-3 Fifth Hole, our 68th of the day, Brandon Carter ACED a beautifully struck, 133 yard pitching wedge!
The celebration was short lived because NOW we realized we were running out of time. We hustled to Bandon Dunes, checked the tee sheets, & sprinted to the first tee. We played the 1st '9' in ONE HOUR! The 2nd '9' in 1.5 hours, playing through a group of caddies on #12. Once we passed them it was smooth sailing; all of us hitting fairways & greens, in complete focus.
The sun was on its home stretch to the horizon, we stood on first tee of "The Preserve." Thirteen holes to play, 13 holes to ONE HUNDRED. Knowing we would finish in the nick of time, we paced ourselves & tried to enjoy the newest gem at Bandon. I'd be lying if I said anyone got close to making an ACE on those 13 par-3's because at that point of our day just getting the club face on the ball was the biggest challenge. Bandon's (Guru)Grant Rodgers came out to watch the last few holes and take photos. As the last putt dropped, the sun, as if on cue, settled into an applauding ocean.
•	Don't neglect food & water: sounds simple enough, but with a goal of 100 holes it can be easy to fall in the trap of 'pushing the pace' while neglecting the obvious.
•	Do not STOP for lunch – you'll just stiffen. Instead, keep moving. A steady, measured pace; eating & drinking frequently.
•	Don't try attempt the HHH with a handicap higher than 15.
•	Ibuprofen is your friend.
•	Body Glide? A maybe.?.
•	Socks? At least 5 pair!

Q: Jsf updates model value with old value I am having some problems updating to the right value. On the page which you can see part of down under, there is a parameter 'change'. I think that this parameter is causing jsf to update the backing bean with the old value and thus do nothing.
<h:panelGroup id="panel0">
            <h:form id="changeForm">
                <h:messages/>
                <!--This retains the parameter "change"-->
                <input type="hidden" name="change" value="#{param.change}"/>
                <!--CHANGE NAME-->
                <h:panelGrid id="panel1" rendered="#{param.change == 'name'}" columns="2">
                    First Name:
                    <h:inputText id="firstName" value="#{changeInfoBean.firstName}"/>
                    Last Name:
                    <h:inputText id="lastName" value="#{changeInfoBean.lastName}"/>
                     <f:facet name="footer">
                        <h:panelGroup style="display:block; text-align:center">
                            <h:commandButton value="Submit Name" action="#{changeInfoBean.changeName}"/>
                        </h:panelGroup>
                    </f:facet>
                </h:panelGrid>
          </h:form>
    </h:panelGroup>

I have also tried having the two inputText fields set to immediate="true" but this will not work either.
My backing bean:
@Named(value="changeInfoBean")
@SessionScoped
public class ChangeInfoBean {

    private String email;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;

    /** Creates a new instance of ChangeInfoBean */
    public ChangeInfoBean() {
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            // Gets the user which is currently logged in
            LoginBean bean = (LoginBean) context.getExternalContext().getSessionMap().get("loginBean");
            BasicUser user = bean.getUser();
            this.email = user.getEmail();
            this.firstName = user.getFirstName();
            this.lastName = user.getLastName();

    }

    public void changeName() {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
            Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
            String hql = "update BasicUser set firstName = :newFirstName, lastName = :newLastName "
                    + "where email = :email";
            Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
            query.setString("newFirstName", this.firstName);
            query.setString("newLastName", this.lastName);
            query.setString("email", this.email);
            int rowCount = query.executeUpdate();
            tx.commit();
            System.out.println("Rows affected: " + rowCount);
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            finally {
                session.close();
            }
    }
    public String getLastName() {
        System.out.print("I am getting my lastName: " + this.lastName);
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        System.out.print("I am updating my lastName to: " + this.lastName);
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }
}

When I try to change my lastName from Lindhardt to something new I get this
INFO: START PHASE RESTORE_VIEW 1
INFO: END PHASE RESTORE_VIEW 1
INFO: START PHASE APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
INFO: END PHASE APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES 2
INFO: START PHASE PROCESS_VALIDATIONS 3
INFO: I am getting my lastName: Lindhardt
INFO: END PHASE PROCESS_VALIDATIONS 3
INFO: START PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
INFO: I am updating my lastName to: Lindhardt
INFO: END PHASE UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES 4
INFO: START PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
INFO: Hibernate: update coffeedrinkers.basic_user set First_Name=?, Last_Name=? where Email=?
INFO: Rows affected: 1
INFO: END PHASE INVOKE_APPLICATION 5
INFO: START PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6
INFO: I am getting my lastName: Lindhardt
INFO: END PHASE RENDER_RESPONSE 6

So the backing bean never recieves the new lastName but just updates the model with the old lastName. Isn't that weird:)

A: With this you're referencing the current instance's variable, not the local (passed-in) variable. You're printing the current instance's variable before it has been set with the passed-in variable, while your interest is rather the passed-in one.
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    System.out.print("I am updating my lastName to: " + this.lastName);
    this.lastName = lastName;
}

Change it to
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    System.out.print("I am updating my lastName to: " + lastName);
    this.lastName = lastName;
}

or
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
    System.out.print("I am updating my lastName to: " + this.lastName);
}

and it'll print the right one.

Update: as per the comments, the above only fixes the problem partly. After all, still the wrong value is been persisted/redisplayed. This seems to be related to the CDI's @Named annotation. It caused the bean to be seemingly resonctructed on every phase of the JSF lifecycle. Replacing it by JSF standard @ManagedBean annotation did fix the issue.

Honey, I bent the screen
Once upon a time, TV sets bulged like fishbowls around the cathode ray tubes that fired electrons at the glass screen. Later, Sony's Trinitron all but eliminated the curve from top to bottom, but not side to side. Only with the switch to LCD did we get completely flat screens. And finally, the electronic display was perfected.
VERDICT of Samsung LC27F591FDUXEN Review
SPECIFICATIONS of Samsung LC27F591FDUXEN Review
Or was it? Some manufacturers are convinced we haven't gone far enough, and want to carry on right through from convex to concave. New curved screens sweep forward at the sides, enveloping you in the picture. Or they would, if you were a Borrower. For normal-sized folk watching telly across a living room, it just means the person on the edge of the sofa ends up looking at the picture from an even more oblique angle than necessary. We don't think this will catch on until HDTVs get even bigger or people become smaller.
In a PC monitor, though, it actually makes sense. Choose a wide enough model, like this 27in, and sit close to it, as you would normally, and the wraparound effect works rather nicely. The curve is a segment of a cylinder, and it really pays off if you have the space to sit two or three screens side by side. The latest 3D graphics cards specialist in warping computer-generated scenes to look realistic when shown this way.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, a single unit is reasonably affordable, and could be used for any computing purpose. Avoiding a multi-monitor setup not only preserves your bank balance, but lets you take advantage of Samsung's attractive adjustable stand to tilt the panel to your preferred angle. There's no height adjustment, but it sits a fair distance off the desktop anyway. The narrow silver bezel around the screen and the sleek white back panel, mercifully uncluttered except for a tidy set of ports, make a futuristic impression that's further enhanced by the console-style thumb stick that's used instead of buttons to operate the setup menus.
Full HD (1920×1080 pixels) is not a particularly high resolution for this size of display. In fact, it's the lowest you can get. But with high contrast and covering 99.2 per cent of the sRGB color range, the picture looks great. Out of the box, it looked a bit bluer than we'd have liked, and we had to resort to our calibration equipment to fix this, although you could do the same by eye with some twiddling. Because it uses the VA type of LCD, the screen stays clearly visible even if you're not looking at it straight on.
In short, as long as you're not looking for an extra-sharp 4K screen, this is fine for almost any purpose. FreeSync is supported for newer AMD graphics cards, and the maximum refresh rate of 72Hz will impress gamers. We also eliminated ghosting by setting the response time to Faster (but not Fastest) in the menus. Non-gamers needn't worry about any of this. There's no USB hub built in, so PC accessories will have to plug into your system unit rather than the monitor, but there is pair of 5-watt speakers, which we found a lot better than we expected.
This is a very good monitor, but when you can get a sharper 2560×1440-pixel screen such as the 25in AOC Q2577PWQ for less, or a 4K Iiyama G-Master Gold Phoenix for only a little more, the price can't quite be justified. Curves will have to get cheaper to win our vote.
We're not averse to curved monitors, but it's hard to see why you'd sacrifice other qualities for it at this kind of price.

Although Lee set her novel in a very isolated locale, which she calls Maycomb, in an era when her notion of crossing racial and social boundaries does not always seem imminently attainable, the world ofwhen To Kill a Mockingbird appeared, was radically different. An "entire spin-off industry" was busy adapting Zinn's vision for lower grades, with works such as A Young People's History and "a plethora of lesson materials is offered to teachers through the Zinn Education Project.
This text was used by college students. Scratch where it itches.
That's what kind of guy he was. Make the youth of America believe insane things that aren't true or helpful. Are good parents at breaking point with schools? That is where the Kavanaugh mob was trained. The irony is that Miss Gates is unaware of the contradiction here: When she told the participants, "nothing that has been said is a surprise, at least to me," she was repeating language she had used to describe her Buchmanite experience.
One of the great ironies and tragedies of human history is that the most discriminating and harmful policies can be disguised within a seemingly benevolent or necessary purpose for the greater good.
And certainly worse than Barack Obama, who correspondingly rose to the top ten in the same estimation of the same political scientists.

Close examination of their report shows that no therapy was given, nor was there any encouragement of discussion of problems. Because of liberalism, children are being read to by drag queens, "entertained" by drag queens, and even turned into drag queens! Since no investigator has ever claimed that LSD used in this way does have any therapeutic effect, this experiment suggests that LSD used with no therapeutic intent or skill is not apt to help.

She and Harman disagreed strongly, however, on how the drug should be used since he [Harman] preferred larger doses that would provide the user with mystical experiences, rather than the milder effects that Eisner sought.
Police and parents in California were reportedly outraged after students at a high school magazine published cartoons depicting President Donald Trump as a Nazi and an officer wearing KKK garb while aiming a gun at a black child. I'd rather read Heidegger or grind my teeth.
You can be sure that most of those teaching history to kids have been steeped deeply in Zinn. A high school art teacher, he had his summers free and devoted them to Sequoia Seminar. Also featured is Miss Maudie, the friendly neighbor who seems to represent, along with Atticus, the best hope for change in the community.
Ciccariello-Maher's twitter account is a sickening mix of anti-American, anti-male, and anti-white rhetoric ironic considering he is a white American man but this sort of far-left self-hatred is far too common these days.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, academic Randa Jarrar gleefully celebrated the death of the former First Lady, calling her a "witch" and an "amazing racist.
A book so biased and so agenda-driven actually cuts off sensible evaluation of past events, and what they might tell us about today.

I'm Penny, married to Steve with three offspring 17,14 and 11. Eldest one mine, younger two, OH's.
We have a t-shirt printing business in Cheltenham, and it's our intention to build it up over the next few years, with the intention of Downsizing abroad in the future. The timing of said future is somewhat governed by firstly the needs of the children, (although youngest would probably be happy to come with us), and secondly by making the business secure enough for us to leave it running here and be managed from wherever we end up!
Our original chice was Spain, as my eldest sister already lives there, but property prices are so high there now, it's becoming difficult. More recently, having chatted to Pricey, and seen how beautiful it is, we are looking at Portugal too. We would be quite happy (as soon as funds allow) to buy a property before we are ready to completely up sticks.
When we move, we intend to live as self-sufficiently as possible. My OH is very keen on off-grid utilities, and is very handy too, (he can do most things). We live miles away from anywhere now (as Pricey can tell you!), and are much happier without neighbours too close.
We are practising now by growing our own vegetables, making much of our own food, but as we live in rented accomodation, there is not much we can do about off grid utilities at the moment.
brief intro from me: i'm sophie, married to andy, and between us we have 4 children, 3 of whom (aged 16, 15 & 12) live with us and are all home-educated.
we ended up in portugal through chance rather than choice - 4yrs ago we spent some time travelling through france, spain and portugal in a campervan and never actually made it back to the uk!
we live on a beautiful little farm of 2 hectares - www.pureportugal.co.uk/abelhas - trying to be as self-sufficient as possible whilst renovating our old house (shed!) and doing a lot of computer work trying to earn enough money to be able to continue living here.
we are members of pure portugal - www.pureportugal.co.uk - a co-operative business advertising holidays and property in central portugal.
and we have just started on a new website - www.centralportugal.com - an online info service for 'expat' residents and foreign visitors in central portugal.
I'm Giulia from Urbino, Italy.
Well, actually I live 6 months a year in an organic farm near Urbino and 6 months in Madrid.
My parents started growing organic in 1983 and in 1999 we opened a country inn called Locanda della Valle Nuova. We installed solar collectors and a high output wood-stove for hot water and heating and we serve 80% organic food (most of it home grown/produced). We also make lots of preserves, liqueurs etc. and this summer I hope to try some of the recipes I read on this site!
In Madrid I strongly miss the good and natural food from the farm but 2 years ago we joined a group that buys directly from the producers (most of them organic) so life is much better now!
Hope to see some of you Italy/Spain based (and other) fellow downsizers sometimes!
Evening all, I'm TD and currently living in Surrey, England but in the process of trying to decide where to move to. House is not important but we would love a decent amount of land. Currently looking at the SW of England, SW Ireland and France.
I'm not sure what I can add but it will be great hearing from some people who've moved, are about to or are thinking about it.
I am English, although I have spent at least 12 years living in different parts of the world.
Rita is Portuguese ( Madeira ) and has lived in Guernsey and England for the last 8 years.
We currently live & work on a big holiday park in the new forest. It has been my dream since I was young to have my own little smallholding or what ever you choose to call it. So about 18 months ago, we were in what we thought was a comfortable financial position to start looking. Well that was a eye opener, and we soon discovered that what we wanted here, we could not afford.
So thinking caps on, Rita wanted to go to a country she could speak the lingo,(she is very shy, and needs to understand what is going on)so we started to look at Portugal.1 Hour later I had found Sophie's site, found Fontainhas new it was for me, but there was 1 draw back, the wife, she liked some other places. So we put together a list of 13 I think it was, I took Alberto my brother in law & we went to Meet Sophie.
Two weeks later we went back to pay the deposit, 2 days after getting back Rita had Rebecca, and my wife finally saw her new barn in November. She is very trusting.
So we are the owners of a 240 mt sq barn with sheep in at the mo, 6 acres of land, with fruit and olive tree's every were, to many to mention, a wine cellar-well small house, vines to make 1500ltrs of red wine, 4 natural springs.
We are going to try and be as self sufficient as possible, with a goal of being 90% within 5-7 years, and everyone is more than welcome to come and see us.
So let's not bore you any more and let someone else have a go.
I've been out of the UK for nearly 11 years and it is becoming a bit of a foreign country to me these days! We live in Brittany after living first in the Netherlands and then in the French dept of Ain near to Geneva. We are my OH and me and two cats.
Finally have the huge garden I have always dreamed of (1 hectare) with a lake, woodland, orchard and huge veggie patch which we spent 3 months digging last winter! We are still working on 'renovating' our land. Never mind the house! Actually the house is habitable just needs some major redecoration but is far less important than what is going on outside.
Oh and I've got 3 hens who are pets with names! Hoping to get a horse in the not too distant future but in search of suitable land at the moment.
I love wildlife and bird watching, gardening (edible and not), cooking and learning (through my mistakes) jam and chutney making.
I was brought up in Bolton but lived in London too long before getting a job in Brussels nine years ago.
Terri is Irish (Tipperary) and was an Oncology sister in Cambridge before I recued her and dragged her out here.
We have three children (7, 5 and 2) who were born here.
We moved to Jauche to our own house in December '02, having previously rented closer in. The house needed a bit of 'refreshing', which has taken me too long, so the 18 ares of garden has not been developed as much as I would like. My area is a 7 are plot accessed through a gate at the bottom of the garden. All I have done so far is cut back the trees and plant fruit - there is still much to do. Some pictures are available on my blog - see the www link below.
Unfortunately, I still have loads to do on the house. We want to generate a bit of income from a chambre d'h�te (which will mean converting the playroom into a sixth bedroom), and we also plan to teach English.
I'm Jane, I live in the Ain region of France and work just across the border in Geneva. Have been here for nearly 5 years and moved into a new house with decent sized (but not huge) garden 18 months ago - last summer was spent trying to define the potager, soft fruit area and (unsuccessfully) do battle with the weeds. Have also planted fruit trees which I hope to train into a hedge.
We have been living in France for over a year now. We live in the Limousin, quite high up in the Ambazac Mountains. Its a very rural area, the village being pretty much the same as it was a 100 years ago. The village has 9 residents, three of them being English (us) and only one woman living in the village!!
We have bought a very run down property with a very large garden. Enabling us to start living the sort of life we have only ever dreamed of. The renovations on the house are going well as are the plans for the gardens. We are planning to re-roof the house later on in the year using 'recycled tyre slates' and are also planning to start using solar power. We have been using a 'dry compost loo' for about 9 months and it works very well.
There is so much happening here but I don't want to take up anymore of your time.
This is an excellent forum!!
The house is new (looked for an older property but had tremendous difficulty with planners etc) with land of 1500sqm. We hope to build a workshop and self-contained holiday let on the land and grow fruit and veg. The house is situated in a quiet village near Ribadesella and is half a kilometre from the coast and 10k from the Picos Mountains. Looking to eventually buy another property and more land if possible - occupy ourselves by pursuing hobbies (recaning and rush work chairs, various traditional crafts, walking, yoga, exploring Spain and Portugal and chilling out. Currently building a website about our move for family and friends. Hope to get to know you all better over the coming months and years.
I'm Irene who lives with Fabrice ( a real Frenchie!) and we've a small farm raising Angora goats and sheep with pigs, chickens and a variety of livestock.
I'm Scottish, but lived in London for 18 years, and I've been here in Soth West France for 15 years - and I'm not moving again because I'm never going to grow out of my French garden!
I'm a mad keen gardener, love keeping animals and making things, living off the land and experimenting with renewable energy projects. I also teach at an agricultural college, run courses here and this year I'm doing a full-time course myself in "Green Tourism".
<<<When I look back and see that I bought John Seymour's "Self Sufficiency" when it first came out, it makes me realise that the desire to do something along those lines has been with me for quite some time and that I, like many others no doubt, have instead taken the softer option and done a conventional job. With a wife, two kids and a mortgage, the great leap forward (or backward?) to a different lifestyle is not so easy to accomplish.
One year down the line things haven't changed all that much - the job is anything but enjoyable (I'm bored) - and the only thing preserving my sanity is the thought that I've got just over a year to go before this misery ends. I try not to complain, there are other poor souls far worse of than me.
What does get on my wick is the thought that I could be doing something far more useful with my time but I'm obliged to turn up at the office every day and pretend to be busy.
My wife is very understanding but frankly does not share my enthusiasm to have a go at "the good life", prefering to cite the educational needs of our boys (12 & 15) as the prime factor for staying put.
We may end up striking a compromise: ideally by finding a suitable location relatively close to where we currently live which would allow me to put my interests into practice, whilst the kids can continue to go to the same school. In reality the high property prices in the area mean a move further away to somewhere less expensive is inevitable and our youngsters would have to change their school, so that's out.
One alternative would be to find housing and a plot of land for me some way out of town, leaving the family home where it is but with an absent father during the week - not exactly the best solution. At a later stage, if and when the boys decide to go to university, my wife and I could relocate there - or maybe much further afield, like France, as she herself has suggested.
At the moment I'm rather frustrated.
Any ideas from you good people out there?
Hi everyone, I'm Purple Martin and I live in Canberra.
People tend to assume that Australia is a hot place, and most of it is, but Canberra is in an area with cold winters. The other night we had a -6C frost, and the daytime max was only +4C... and winter has barely started. Canberra summers can be scorchingly hot (how does 44C sound), with no rain for several months. This combination of freezing winters and hot dry summers makes it difficult to grow things. An irrigation system is an absolute necessity, and so is plenty of mulching. Australian soil is notoriously poor quality, so plenty of compost and manure are important if you want your veggies to succeed.
Apart from growing the usual veggies, I also grow my own hops for brewing beer. I set up a pulley-and-rope system on the tallest wall of the house, but even so I have to prune the tops of the hop bines after only about 4 weeks of growth because they get really tall really quickly!


April 26, 2016 (Pittsburgh, PA) – The results are in. The National Aviary's newest penguin, a female, is named Maggie. More than 23,000 votes were cast over 3 ½ days. And the winning name – Maggie – won by a slim margin of just 544 votes!
The voting contest was held in honor of World Penguin Day April 25 as a way to highlight this critically endangered species and the National Aviary's programs to help save it.
Since this penguin came to the National Aviary from Monterey Bay Aquarium, the name choices are a tribute to the place of her hatching.
This female joined the National Aviary's colony – now at 20 penguins – a few weeks ago and is three years old. She is also joined by a male, and the two were selected to move to Pittsburgh because of their valuable genetic make-up. Together they make a valuable breeding pair, and according to Teri Grendzinski, supervisor of animal collections at the National Aviary, they are already showing the first signs of pair bonding.
In honor of World Penguin Day the National Aviary is also seeking donations for their programs aimed at saving African Penguins from extinction. Money raised will go to support the National Aviary's care of African Penguins. Donate at www.namethepenguin.org or www.aviary.org.

Hyperapp Router provides declarative routing for [Hyperapp](https://github.com/hyperapp/hyperapp) using the [History API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History).

[Try this example online](http://hyperapp-router.surge.sh).

```jsx
import { h, app } from "hyperapp"
import { Link, Route, location } from "@hyperapp/router"

const Home = () => <h2>Home</h2>
const About = () => <h2>About</h2>
const Topic = ({ match }) => <h3>{match.params.topicId}</h3>
const TopicsView = ({ match }) => (
  <div key="topics">
    <h2>Topics</h2>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/components`}>Components</Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/single-state-tree`}>Single State Tree</Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to={`${match.url}/routing`}>Routing</Link>
      </li>
    </ul>

    {match.isExact && <h3>Please select a topic.</h3>}

    <Route parent path={`${match.path}/:topicId`} render={Topic} />
  </div>
)

const state = {
  location: location.state
}

const actions = {
  location: location.actions
}

const view = state => (
  <div>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <Link to="/">Home</Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to="/about">About</Link>
      </li>
      <li>
        <Link to="/topics">Topics</Link>
      </li>
    </ul>

    <hr />

    <Route path="/" render={Home} />
    <Route path="/about" render={About} />
    <Route parent path="/topics" render={TopicsView} />
  </div>
)

const main = app(state, actions, view, document.body)

const unsubscribe = location.subscribe(main.location)
```

## Installation

npm i @hyperapp/router

Then with a module bundler like Rollup or Webpack, use as you would anything else.

```jsx
import { Link, Route, Switch, Redirect, location } from "@hyperapp/router"
```

If you don't want to set up a build environment, you can download Hyperapp Router from a CDN like [unpkg.com](https://unpkg.com/@hyperapp/router) and it will be globally available through the <samp>window.hyperappRouter</samp> object. We support all ES5-compliant browsers, including Internet Explorer 10 and above.

## Usage

Add the `location` module to your state and actions and start the application.

```jsx
const state = {
  location: location.state
}

const actions = {
  location: location.actions
}

const main = app(
  state,
  actions,
  (state, actions) => <Route render={() => <h1>Hello!</h1>} />,
  document.body
)
```

Then call `subscribe` to listen to location change events.

```js
const unsubscribe = location.subscribe(main.location)
```

## Components

### Route

Render a component when the given path matches the current [window location](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location). A route without a path is always a match. Routes can have nested routes.

```jsx
<Route path="/" render={Home} />
<Route path="/about" render={About} />
<Route parent path="/topics" render={TopicsView} />
```

#### parent

The route contains child routes.

#### path

The path to match against the current location.

#### render

The component to render when there is a match.

### Render Props

Rendered components are passed the following props.

```jsx
const RouteInfo = ({ location, match }) => (
  <div>
    <h3>Url: {match.url}</h3>
    <h3>Path: {match.path}</h3>
    <ul>
      {Object.keys(match.params).map(key => (
        <li>
          {key}: {match.params[key]}
        </li>
      ))}
    </ul>
    <h3>Location: {location.pathname}</h3>
  </div>
)
```

#### location

The [window location](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location).

#### match.url

The matched part of the url. Use to assemble links inside routes. See [Link](#link).

#### match.path

The route [path](#path).

#### match.isExact

Indicates whether the given path matched the url exactly or not.

### Link

Use the Link component to update the current [window location](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location) and navigate between views without a page reload. The new location will be pushed to the history stack using `history.pushState`.

```jsx
const Navigation = (
  <ul>
    <li>
      <Link to="/">Home</Link>
    </li>
    <li>
      <Link to="/about">About</Link>
    </li>
    <li>
      <Link to="/topics">Topics</Link>
    </li>
  </ul>
)
```

#### to

European Christians Who Helped Jews in WWII To Be Acclaimed as "Righteous Gentiles"
Dec. 26, 1962 - European Christians who secretly befriended Jews in Nazi-occupied countries will now be acclaimed.

They have begun a campaign to obtain public recognition of heroism shown by men and women who defied the Nazis to help Jews. An initial list of 175 has been published. Among those listed are: — Charles Coward, a British Sergeant Major (pictured at the Nuremberg Trials

Ex-Nazi Mass Murderer Hangs Himself in Prison
Aug. 21, 1962 - Hermann Höfle (pictured last year), facing trial in Vienna on charges of participating in the mass slaughter of Jews in World War II, hanged himself in his prison cell today.

Höfle played a major role in deportations of Jews in Mielec, Lublin, Rzeszow, Warsaw, and Bialystok to death camps. He also personally escorted Eichmann to the Belzec and
Nazi "Mercy Killers" Charged in West Germany

Eichmann's Appeal Rejected in Jerusalem
May 28, 1962 - Israel's Supreme Court unanimously rejected today Adolf Eichmann's appeal against his death sentence for a major role in the mass murder of 6 million Jews and others during World War II.

The five men on the high court said they were satisfied beyond a shadow of a doubt that Eichmann was a key man in the murders

Dec. 15, 1961 - In Israel today, Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death by hanging for his role in the killing of 6,000,000 Jews during World War II and for other war crimes and crimes against humanity. The three judges of the Jerusalem District Court delivered the sentence at 9:20 a.m. (2:20 a.m., Eastern Standard Time). Eichmann, looking very pale, was led to his glass cage at one minute to 9. He remained standing stiffly and arrogantly while Presiding Judge Moshe Landau acc
Movies: World Premiere of "Judgment at Nuremberg" Held in Berlin
Dec. 14, 1961 - An Berlin audience viewed the world premiére of the American film, "Judgment at Nuremberg." A capacity audience of 1,200 attended the showing at the Congress Hall, only 700 yards from the communist border wall that divides Berlin. Many sat spellbound through the 170-minute performance. There were gasps when documentary shots of Nazi concentration camps appeared, and some viewers broke into spontaneous applause during a scene in the second half when Spencer Tr
West German Media Approve Eichmann Verdict
Dec. 12, 1961 - West German newspapers were unanimous today in approving the verdict against Adolf Eichmann (pictured in 1942) by an Israeli court yesterday. None of the lengthy editorials devoted to the proceedings in Jerusalem registered surprise over the judges' findings. In a typical comment, the Süddeutsche Zeitung of Munich said: "Apart from the accused, there was hardly anyone in the courtroom or outside who could have any doubt about the verdict. Whether Eichmann or t
Eichmann Likely To Be Hanged
Dec. 11, 1961 - Israeli judges rejected one by one today the arguments that Adolf Eichmann hoped would gain some mitigation of sentence for him. The former Nazi was convicted in Jerusalem of crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, and miscellaneous war crimes. As the judges pressed on with the reading of their lengthy judgment, observers believed that Eichmann's chances for escaping the death penalty were fading. Eichmann's main hope lay in his assertion th
Eichmann Convicted in Jerusalem
Dec. 10, 1961 - Adolf Eichmann was convicted in a Jerusalem court this morning of crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and membership in hostile Nazi organizations. The former Nazi colonel faces death by hanging. A few minutes after the court opened, Presiding Judge Moshe Landau coldly ordered Eichmann to the stand. "The court finds you guilty," Judge Landau said. He then ordered the prisoner to be seated while he began reading the massive 20


Today June 30, we end the Lent 2012 collection campaign.
Many thanks to you, dear friends and benefactors. We are especially grateful to Mr.Phạm Hùng Sơn, Mr.Nguyễn Quang Trung, Mr. Đào Văn Đức, Mr. Trần Lộc and to our dedicated brothers and sisters from San Jose, California, who have collaborated wholeheartedly with KMF for many years.
With the generous help of donors, KMF has built a dispensary for the poor in a village near Kontum to provide basic and emergency healthcare to the people living nearby. In addition, the team of doctor and nurses also travels to more remote villages to provide care and medicine to poor people. This year, we have also established a Mobile Pharmacy to provide medicine to other villages with the help of priests and nuns. We need your continued contributions in order to pay for doctors and nurses, medical equipment and medicine. With your help, we will be able to sustain these activities to benefit the poorest of the poor.
It is often said that"Education is the key to the future." Sadly though, most children in Kontum lack the opportunities that we in industrialized nations often take for granted: the ability to attend formal schooling to gain a necessary education that prepares for employment and self-sustenance. For these children, lack of education translates into a very bleak future. A number of student houses have been established to offer free accommodation and food to poor students so that they can go to school. However, in view of the great number of young people in need and the limited resources, there is still a significant number of young people without a place to stay. KMF is currently supporting seven (7) such student houses. KMF is also funding this year the construction of a new student house in the Dak To area to cater for the needs of the poor students in that remote area.
If you have the opportunity to visit a village of lepers in Kontum or Pleiku, you will be touched by the scenes of people suffering from leprosy: people without hands or arms, feet or fingers or with faces disfigured by the disease. In most cases, taking care of themselves is a huge task, even for the simplest gestures such as holding a bowl of rice or a glass of water. Furthermore, they are constantly tortured by the pain and irritations caused by the bacteria.
We need your help to continue to provide needed assistance to the lepers. One can of soda costing US$.50 may help purchase a topical antibiotic ointment, a US $.99 burger may help purchase a pain relief lotion, a US $50 may help build a clean water reservoir and a US $150 may help towards digging a well for a group of families. However small the amount of donation, we will make every effort in making every penny count towards helping these less fortunate but still fellow children of God.
Due to extremely poor living conditions and lack of basic healthcare, the life expectancy of ethnic people in Kontum diocese is alarmingly short, thus leaving hundreds of children orphaned at an early age and without any resources. With your support and generosity, KMF is assisting two (2) orphanages run by Ya nuns. As they are not very big and are located in very remote areas, they do not receive assistance from other charitable organizations. KMF is also assisting the handicapped in a centre run by nuns. With just US $1 per day, you can make a difference in the life of these unfortunate children and would go a long way to brighten their future.
This year KMF has provided a small amount towards the cost of a ceiling for a small church under construction that could not be completed due to lack of funding. On the other hand, KMF has also made a CD of songs performed by Ya sisters of Kontum Diocese as a gift to our benefactors and as a means to raise more funds for KMF. I hope you will like it.
On behalf of our poor brothers and sisters in the Kontum Diocese: the lepers, the orphans, the disabled and sick persons, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you, dear friends and benefactors. You may want to visit KMF website: www.helpkontum.org for more details on these programs, including our updated reports, news and activities.
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did to the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me" (Mt 25:40). God knows whatever you do and will reward you and your family tenfold. KMF members will always pray for you and your families, and each month our priests will celebrate a special mass for all benefactors.
Best wishes for happy and peaceful summer holidays with plenty of joy.

Home News socceroos selection australian options new national manager
Socceroos selection: Aussie options for new national boss
Jamie Clark
Successive 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France proved terminal for Holger Osieck's tenure in charge of the Socceroos.
Australia may have already qualified for the World Cup, but these recent results raised serious doubts in the FFA hierarchy about their prospects.
They are a proud sporting nation, but the Aussies are in a state of transition. Players like Mark Schwarzer (pictured above) and Lucas Neill, members of the old guard, are reaching the end.
Not only must the new coach make a good fist of things in Brazil next summer, but he must also help to bring new talent through.
We look at the options open to the Socceroos:
Guus Hiddink
Former Chelsea caretaker Hiddink has had this gig before. The 66-year-old took Australia to the knockout stages in 2006 where they lost to eventual winners Italy.
Since then Hiddink has enjoyed a mixed managerial career. He took Russia to the semi-finals of Euro 2008 before adding the FA Cup to his CV. Hiddink failed to reach the 2010 World Cup in South Africa or Euro 2012 with Turkey, however.
When he quit Anzhi Makhachkala after the bottom fell out of the Russian club's investment this past summer we expected Hiddink to resurface quickly. He was linked with coaching Barcelona, but the role went to Gerardo Martino.
Hiddink still has close links with members of the FFA hierarchy, and thus he is understood to be their number one target. The Dutchman will not be making a decision on his future until the end of the month though, and is believed to have been courted by several countries.
Would Hiddink want a second stint with the Socceroos? The squad is a far cry from what it was seven years ago. Given his age, this would not be a long-term appointment, but Hiddink might just fancy one more World Cup.
The Socceroos have largely had foreign managers in recent years, so appointing an Australian to the post will prove popular. Are any of the A-League coaches up to the challenge though?
Frank Farina (Sydney FC) and Graham Arnold (Central Coast Mariners) have done the job before. Ange Postecoglou (Melbourne Victory) and former Crystal Palace captain Tony Popovic (Western Sydney Wanderers) have also been linked to the role.
Aurelio Vidmar, Osieck's assistant, is in caretaker charge for the friendly with Canada meanwhile. He would represent the promoting from within option.
Any domestic appointment could be made with a view to the long-term project of rejuvenating the Socceroos.
Foreign flavour
If Hiddink cannot be tempted for another tilt and the Australian coaching contingent doesn't quite measure up, there are plenty of alternatives.
The unorthodox, but curiously effective tactics of former Argentina and Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa could be worth considering. El Loco has been out of work since leaving Athletic Bilbao, a side he steered to the Europa League final so impressively.
Roberto Di Matteo, another Chelsea connection, has also been mentioned. French veterans Alain Perrin and Gerard Houllier have been suggested in some quarters too.
Well-respected Czech Zdenek Zeman, who has managed so extensively throughout Italy, would make an experienced candidate.
Even Sir Alex Ferguson has been cheekily touted as a short-term appointment, however unlikely that may seem.
Who would like to see at the Socceroos helm come the World Cup? Have your say below.

My oldest grand niece, Dolly – who is now 31, was about 12. T'was a few days before Christmas. Perhaps even Christmas Eve Day (my favorite day to shop – love being among the crowds and listening to the music, wandering through the mall, , people watching…a throwback to my childhood when we did practically everything from getting/decorating our tree to buying presents to being super excited to… ) But, to return to my story: we were shopping at Nordstrom and they were gifting customers with reindeer antler headbands. Dolly got one. I got one. I promptly put mine on…Dolly, being twelve was appalled. So uncool. Such an embarrassment. Really Aunt Honore´!
And you know, she's right! I always wear some and have occasionally been known to adorn a red nose, too!
Wonder if she'd be game for that? Hah!

PS. What is even more interesting is I am wearing lipstick! I haven't worn lipstick in nearly 20 years!
Rudolph looks GOOD on you, lol! And THAT sweater! And, YES always in my customer service rolls (and at school) I would wear a Santa or elf hat, or bells, I love being festive, the headbands give me a headache but I'm still game. (I even wore Walgreen's 'red nose' the past couple of years in Spring.) When I was twelve though? In a mall? Never. Would Dolly now?
When Brin was growing up we always got our 'free' tree on Christmas Eve and decorated it, wrapped gifts, ate dinner and then unwrapped because I worked Christmas Day so my staff could have it off. LOVE Christmas Eve but not the mall/crowds that's too much for me, lol.
LOL! I'll have to ask Dolly if she'd wear a red nose! Probably not! So you wrapped/unwrapped all on the same night. Funny! So nice of you to work Christmas Day…but I'm not surprised…t'is your DNA!

Jordan and Megan had an incredible North Shore proposal. Because Jordan knew he wanted his proposal to Megan to be unique he knew he had to pop the question in Maui. Since he and his family had been visiting Maui for years, it held a special place in his heart. Megan had never been to Maui, and now she will always remember her first visit.
Jordan's mom, June, played a big part in pulling off this North Shore Proposal. She wanted to be sure everything was extra special for the couple. The couple had dinner plans at Mama's Fish House, but before dinner, Jordan wanted to show Megan his favorite beach.
The beach was pristine that evening, and the sky was filled with kite surfers. Megan was in awe of the beauty that surrounded her. The colors in the sky and the beautiful light were genuinely amazing. So Megan took out her cell phone and began to record some video. She was so enthralled with the beauty surrounding her she almost missed Jordan getting down on one knee!!! When Megan finally realized what was happening she was overcome with joy! After she said yes, the couple walked on the beach to take in the beauty together. Then they were off to celebrate with Jordan's family over dinner.
North Shore beach is quickly becoming one of our favorite engagement destinations in Maui because of all the beauty it offers. The variety of scenery is just a few of the amazing things about this unforgettable location.
Jordan and Megan: Thank you so much for having Engaged on Maui shoot for your incredible North Shore Proposal. Congratulations!
Looking for a scenic beach proposal? We can help you with that!

Texas Counterfeit Laws & Charges + Statute Of Limitations
By Geoffrey Nathan, Esq.
If a good is an unauthorized reproduction, even if it appears to come from a legitimate source, it is likely that the crime of counterfeiting has been committed. The offense involves both the creation of these goods or documents, altering these goods or documents and purchasing these goods or documents.
Trafficking of counterfeit goods is an additional crime that often spans interstate and international borders. Because of this, the regulation tends to come from federal government. However, a state is allowed to set and enact the laws that criminalize counterfeiting activity, but the punishment is handed down by the U.S. Congress.
Counterfeiting is an old crime that has been present for hundreds of years. It has long been used as a tool to create instability in the economic climate. Counterfeit money, for instance, damages the currency itself as well as the faith people have in the government. This is why our Founding Fathers ensured the Constitution granted the government power to criminalize counterfeiting. The very first laws to this extent were passed in 1790, and these original laws are still frequently updated to keep abreast of new counterfeiting techniques.
At first, counterfeiting was mainly related to currency, and this is still a very big issue. However, it quickly became clear that criminals also focused on other forms of security, as well as tools (including digital technology). Furthermore, counterfeiters often copy a trademark, thereby altering merchandise or goods. This comes under the Counterfeiting Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property.
Finally, there are the laws pertaining to international counterfeiting. It is illegal to counterfeit foreign securities, currencies, tools or goods. This includes those made by foreign corporations or banks, but only if the act of counterfeiting occurs in this country.
All these areas apply to documents, bids, bonds, proposals, contracts, affidavits, public records, import documents, seals of agencies, court documents, stamps, meters and more.
Texas Laws and Penalties
The penalties for counterfeiting are brought down by the federal government. Although the punishment varies depending on the severity of the case, they include:
A fine of up to $250,000 and/or a prison sentence up to 20 years for U.S. obligations and securities and foreign obligations and securities.
A fine of up to $250,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to 25 years for for possessing stones, plates and other items used in the production of counterfeit items.
Up to 10 years imprisonment for putting parts of different bank notes together in order to create a new note.
Up to 15 years imprisonment for counterfeiting coins over 5 cents or gold/silver bars.
Up to 5 years in prison for trying to pass counterfeit precious metal bars.
Texas Counterfeit Penalties
Under certain circumstances, the penalties delivered may be much harsher. If, for instance, there has been a financial loss or gain for someone other than the defendant, a fine may be included that doubles the amount that was lost or gained by the third party.
Texas Statute of Limitations
The statue of limitation for counterfeiting charges in Texas is 10 years. If the federal government has not brought charges within that time period, they are no longer able to prosecute at all. However, the statue of limitation can be suspended or tolled depending on circumstances, which means that the period could actually be longer. However, an official note of this has to be made.
Key Texas Counterfeiting Cases
– 7 indicted in Texas counterfeit DVD, CD cases – Seven residents of South Texas have recently been indicted in a counterfeit DVD and CD case, which lead to over 58,000 fake items being seized. Six people in Corpus Christi have been arrested and now face copyright infringement charges. The seventh suspect has not been found yet. The group distributed their wares on flea markets and through at least one registered company.
– Central Texas Couple Sentenced In Counterfeit Money Case – Couple Christina Lynn Turner and David Scott Turner have plead guilty to using counterfeit U.S. money in a Hill County convenience store. Mrs Turner received a one year and one day sentence as well as two years supervised release. Additionally, she has to pay a fine of $1,000, restitution of $150 and $100 to the court for a special assessment. Mr Turner received a sentence of 3 years and 10 months, a two year supervised release period and had to pay the same fines as his wife. The charges related to them using a knowingly forged $50 in a Mt. Calm convenience store

St. Jude: Theater Review
6:27 PM PDT 9/23/2013 by Myron Meisel
Touching autobiographical memoir centering on the performer's care for his dying immigrant father. TWITTER
A son takes care of his ailing father at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
As part of the Radar L.A. Festival involving international theater events featuring dozens of both local and imported cutting edge companies from around the world – now ongoing at Disney Hall's REDCAT, UCLA, the Getty Villa and numerous other venues – the Center Theatre Group at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City is presenting three solo shows in repertory. The first to open is St. Jude by the long-trailblazing playwright Luis Alfaro, whose career has been one of the successes of that time when the CTG pursued the nurturing of new indigenous talent.
Alfaro has most generally made his mark with brusque and fanciful updated adaptations of classical texts such as Oedipus el Rey, Electridad (from Electra) and Bruja (fromMedea). His Aesop in Rancho Cucamonga will premiere next month. Meanwhile, we have the man himself, with his self-effacing yet outsized personality, playing out his memories of growing up picking fruit in California's Central Valley, his escape from that life, and his inevitable, sentimental returns to his family and his roots, punctuating his tales with gospel hymns he importunes the audience to join in singing.
Indoctrinated into devotional religion by both his Catholic father and his Pentecostal mother, Alfaro amusingly recalls: "None of the modern problems of the church back then. Not a single priest ever laid a hand on me… (pause) dammit!" Or, "I don't speak in tongues. They say I did, but I don't remember." Whether snacking with his "bad seed" brother on communion wafers, or mistaking a family absence for the coming of The Rapture from which he has been left behind, Alfaro lovingly invites us into his culture and its influences, constraints and deep bonds of affection.
While Alfaro's presence is highly theatricalized, his tone remains conversational and intimate, taking the audience into his confidence with assurance, so much so that it takes a while to realize that he is relating all his tales in a nearly subliminal verse. It's deft and rigorously relaxed poetry, and he has a dramatist's sure-footed way with narrative and interlocked imagery. His 80-year-old father still supervises his Orange County shop floor and plays in a senior soccer league, where a toe injury leads to a life-threatening mitral valve infection, drawing a devoted son back to involve himself in his hospital care.
Nevertheless, for all its subtle literary sheen, St. Jude at base remains a rather forthright piece of direct address storytelling, and anecdotally not appreciably more profound or moving than much of what one can hear on public radio, which has achieved an impressively consistent standard of comparable quality. Alfaro's physical reality lends heft to the piece, and he does inject a soupcon of performance art gesture, actually pricking his fingers more than a half-dozen times to lay drops of his blood on projected slides of maps of the towns along Highway 99 that represent both his past and present. It's a sanguinary ritual of a diabetic son in solidarity with his diabetic father. Yet it gently evokes the more extreme mutilations of icons of the performance art genre, such as Ron Athey.

American Airlines: How do I get a refund for a flight that got rescheduled?
Are still in the airport? If so, find the closest American Airlines ticket counter or customer service desk and one of the reps can help you. You should be compensated because it was the airline's fault that you couldn't make your connecting flight. They should also be able to check for any other available flights that they can rebook you on and hopefully get you where you need to go on time.
If this is for a flight that has already occurred and you are no longer in the airport, the best thing to do is to call one of their customer service reps. Once you have the rep on the line, let them know that you were originally scheduled for a flight and that you were rescheduled, and the time no longer works for you. See if they can get you on another flight, and make sure to (calmly) explain that you wish to get a refund for the original flight since the times no longer work for you. What's the point of booking specific flight times in the first place?
Make sure to let them know that you are fed up with the inconvenience of this rescheduled flight, and that a voucher will not work and that you require a full refund on your credit card. Let us know how you make out!

Purple Cows and Light-Blue Boxes
By Elaine Rigoli September 21, 2006 July 24, 2015
?Job interviewing is dead,? declared keynoter Seth Godin at last week?s ERE Expo in Hollywood, Florida.
The best-selling author and acclaimed marketing guru also gave his top-three marketing tips you can't afford to ignore:
Flip the funnel into a megaphone. The Web is a giant haystack and your jobs are tiny needles, according to Godin. Instead of desperately trying to hope top candidates find your needle, shout your message to the online masses. Whether it's posting innovative videos on Youtube.com or placing creative listings on Craigslist, if it's out on the Web, your needles will spread to the right haystacks and so will word of your great career opportunities. As Godin said, "Craigslist wipes out the whole idea of classifieds. The TV industrial complex is broken. There is no one place you can go to interrupt everyone. You're invisible."
Wrap yourself in a peacock-blue Tiffany box. Godin's message is that the box matters, the wrapper matters, and the illusion of grandeur matters. He stressed that attracting top talent starts with the first appearance of the wrapper and extends to everything from the sound of your voice, the tone of your language, the appearance of your lobby, and the firmness of your handshake. As Godin pointed out, "You're not just auditioning resumes; the resumes are auditioning you. So you've got to decide what kind of box that job comes in."
Be the biggest pumpkin in the patch. Why should the amazing people pick you? It should not be because you pay double what other people pay, Godin says. If resumes are all formatted the same, interviews are conducted with the same questions, benefits are comparable, then jobs are turned into a commodity. Godin noted that some recruiters are making a mistake thinking that amazing people are pining to come work for you. Whether you're the largest pumpkin in the patch or a purple cow grazing in a field alongside black bovines, you are remarkable and should be worth remarking on, he says. When you have carved an authentic, unique niche, people talk about it, word spreads, and you reach the people who were not looking for a new opportunity.
