In late May (2019), Derek is walking the Camino de Santiago.
Also known as the French Way, the Camino de Santiago is an ancient pilgrim path that runs for 490 miles (790km) through Northern Spain. Many centuries ago, pilgrims would start from their very own home which is why there are several different paths for the Camino. However, the most famous of these is Camino Frances which starts in a small French town called Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and ends at the famous Santiago de Compostela.
In fact, people have been walking this route for more than 1,000 years and further evidence suggests that locals in pre-Christian times were walking this path because they were following the Milky Way to the edge of the earth.
While the precise details are unknown, it's thought that one of the twelve apostles (St James) helped spread Christianity on the peninsula here and King Alfonso II insisted that Santiago de Conpostella should be built to hold his remains.
Ever since that time, pilgrims have been walking the Camino and even during the Middle Ages, it's thought that as many as 250,000 pilgrims made this walk every year. Camino de Santiago is now one of the top the pilgrimages in the world with Rome and Jerusalem accounting for the other two.

'You Had Me at Innovate':
How the Private Sector Completes the Public
Uzi Scheffer
CEO of SOSA
We usually think of the private sector as the leader in innovation. The public sector, on the other hand, has earned a reputation for squabbles and bloated behemoths of programs. As usual, reality is much more complicated than public perception. Is Elon Musk, perhaps the literal face of innovative enterprise today, revolutionizing space travel? Of course. Lesser known, however, is that people like Musk are able to innovate partly thanks to decades of public investments and efforts to propel technology's stride forward in the private sector. The projects that are currently getting such publicity are contracts awarded by the government. This cooperation, this dance of the government working together with the private sector to achieve potent synergies, is powerful. The relationship between the public and the private is complicated and passionately fought over, but when one strikes the right balance, the results are often remarkable.
"It is no longer needed to discuss digital transformation as some kind of abstract concept on the verge of becoming reality because the solutions already exist. Now it's about implementation."
It is urgent and timely to delve into how this relationship is optimized. It is no longer needed to discuss digital transformation as some kind of abstract concept on the verge of becoming reality because the solutions already exist. Now it's about implementation. It's about having processes in place that allow for innovation to prosper. It's digital go time.
In recent years, some national and local governments started to find and realize their roles in creating better infrastructures for the private sector to innovate. Usually, the support comes in the shape of regulation, incentives, bilateral agreements, and above all, the understanding that their industries and ecosystems must connect to a broader, global innovation ecosystem. Companies can now tap material, human, and intellectual resources across the globe. Not only is the access physically available, but frameworks exist where flows are more dynamic than just cross-border transactions. The networks that make up the innovation ecosystem are living organisms that put technologies where they are needed.
The current pandemic has laid bare many realities that have been concealed for many years. One reality is that the government is central to society. That doesn't mean, however, that the private sector is sitting on the sidelines. It's not for nothing that governments are tasking the private sector with finding a vaccine for the novel coronavirus, and why there are hundreds of vaccines in the works simultaneously across the world. There are also multitudes of innovative technological solutions being adopted and developed at warp speed. Think back on the wars of the past, and how they spurred technological innovation often produced by the armies. Now the technological leaps are manifold larger and happening by thousands or even millions of innovators across the world in a decentralized fashion.
Whether they are global, national, or local, governments have particular agendas; they promote order, security, well-being, economic growth, and such. At the same time, private businesses are usually built for profit. It is often discussed as if the agendas are contradicting, but more often than not, they are completing each other. Each with their tools does their part as we see during COVID and have seen in earlier crises.
"Governments can form formal relationships with ecosystems globally, specifically with innovation leaders, and build bridges that enable innovation processes."
Photo by Jason Leung
Open innovation processes are taking place globally. Governments and corporates connect with state-of-the-art technologies in what is virtually the blink of an eye. Often rigid institutions are learning to change their mindset to adapt or die. Governments around the world are eagerly for example putting out fast-tracked calls for research proposals. Fields like telemedicine are not only gaining ground from the increased demand, but they have support from HMOs and governments too.
Around the world, we see how the relationship between the public and private is optimized and honed. Governments can form formal relationships with ecosystems globally, specifically with innovation leaders, and build bridges that enable innovation processes. A great example is a proactive approach by the European Commission, they have initiatives in place for social, and workplace innovation, as well as creating scoreboards for competitive analysis on a European, regional level, and resources in place to observe the innovative trends in different business industries.
Photo by Tabrez Syed
"The private can implement innovation facilitated and incentivized by the public. This will serve many purposes, companies thrive, economies grow, and life quality improves."
Innovation is a natural result of a well-calibrated relationship between the public and private sectors. The private can implement innovation facilitated and incentivized by the public. This will serve many purposes, companies thrive, economies grow, and life quality improves. It's not easy to do it, but it's crucial to strike the right balance between the public and private sectors. Then the two worlds instead of colliding are combining. Each can achieve its agenda while reaping the rewards of the technological innovation that will follow in its wake.

In recent decades, scholars have argued that the Roman Republic's political culture was essentially democratic in nature, stressing the central role of the 'sovereign' people and their assemblies. Karl-J. Hölkeskamp challenges this view in Reconstructing the Roman Republic, warning that this scholarly trend threatens to become the new orthodoxy, and defending the position that the republic was in fact a uniquely Roman, dominantly oligarchic and aristocratic political form.
Hölkeskamp offers a comprehensive, in-depth survey of the modern debate surrounding the Roman Republic. He looks at the ongoing controversy first triggered in the 1980s when the 'oligarchic orthodoxy' was called into question by the idea that the republic's political culture was a form of Greek-style democracy, and he considers the important theoretical and methodological advances of the 1960s and 1970s that prepared the ground for this debate. Hölkeskamp renews and refines the 'elitist' view, showing how the republic was a unique kind of premodern city-state political culture shaped by a specific variant of a political class. He covers a host of fascinating topics, including the Roman value system; the senatorial aristocracy; competition in war and politics within this aristocracy; and the symbolic language of public rituals and ceremonies, monuments, architecture, and urban topography.
Certain to inspire continued debate, Reconstructing the Roman Republic offers fresh approaches to the study of the republic while attesting to the field's enduring vitality.
Karl-J. Holkeskamp is professor of ancient history at the University of Cologne. He has published extensively on civic society, politics, and law in ancient Greece and the Roman Republic.

News	 February 27, 2019 February 27, 2019
Sudanese American Physicians Association Call for Swift Action Against Sudan Regime
Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA) are calling for swift action against Sudan regime. They made this call on February 25, 2019 in a statement released to the media.
The association said for the ninth week in a row, Sudanese citizens have taken to the streets to peacefully protest the brutality and corruption of the dictatorial regime of Omer al-Bashir and seek freedom and justice under a new and democratically elected Sudanese government. al-Bashir has met these protests with unrestrained violence, including using live ammunition against defenseless and peaceful gatherings, breaking into homes and hospitals to assault and kill pro-democracy activists, and arresting political opponents on a massive scale.
Despite increasing international outcry, al-Bashir and the head of his security apparatus continue to threaten more bloodshed as protests continue to demand justice and an end to more than 30 years of tyrannical exploitation of the Sudanese people. Per Human Rights Watch 1, the death toll of innocent demonstrators has reached at least 51, a figure that does not include thousands more who have been assaulted or unjustly detained by the security forces.
On February 22, al-Bashir has declared a year-long national state of emergency, dismissed the federal government and sacked all state governors. Shortly after the televised speech, the announcements were met with street demonstrations and protestors who were chanting "Just fall, that's all", demanding al-Bashir and his regime to step down.
Two days later, hundreds of peaceful demonstrations were erupted throughout the country to defy the state of emergency. Security forces swiftly confronted protesters with tear gas and live ammunitions. Also, video footages showed masked security forces storming the premises of University of Medical Sciences and Technology and beating students with sticks and whips.
In the United States, Sudanese-American communities nationwide have been organizing protests to voice our support and solidarity with our people back home. We declare our pride in the remarkable courage, determination and sacrifice of the Sudanese protestors seeking freedom, justice, and an end to the corrupt dictatorship of Omer al-Bashir.
We appeal to our elected officials and fellow citizens in the United States of America to stand in solidarity with us and to support our efforts by calling on the Trump Administration and the United States Congress to:
Strongly condemn the al-Bashir regime's killing of peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators and demand an international judicial investigation;
Release political prisoners immediately and unconditionally, and allow the people of Sudan their right to protest and freedom of expression;
Support liberty, justice, and peaceful transition of power.
We understand that the fate of this regime will only be decided by the will of the Sudanese people themselves, but it is time for the United States and the international community to stop legitimizing a regime that has long been delegitimized by its own people.
Community members, scholars and activists are available for interviews.

When I was disciplined as a child, that discipline never served to separate me from my family or to change the status of my relationship to them. When my timeout had been completed, or when my grounding was finally over, I was welcomed back into my family with open arms, the punishment and its inciting incident behind us all, and the lessons learned weaving their way into the fabric of my world view for years to come.
Confrontation is a sticking point for many people. Upon reaching an impasse with someone in our family, our workplace, our neighborhood, our church, we'd much rather avoid than confront. It feels easier to sweep the event under the rug or to press it down inside of us. At face value, this seems like the less painful option.
More often than not, however, the thing just won't let us go. Each time we see that person or think of them, the impasse rises up to meet us. Thank God He has given us clear instructions for moments such as these.
Culture making is a sacred reflection of the God-in-us. Culture making is our response to God's call to humanity to cultivate the world we've been given. Culture is what we are making, in our day-to-day interactions and through the work of our hands.
I think we'd all agree there comes a time when we look at all the stuff we've accumulated and we either decide to build a bigger barn or face the fact that we've accumulated more than we could ever want or need. When that happens, what should we do? Apparently, according to the passage today, building a bigger barn is probably not the best, first choice. I'm not saying we need to give everything away, or pile a mountain of clothing on our beds. But how do we keep from wanting a bigger barn?
I have had the jobs that are passion-less rituals of meetings and projects and lunches and annual reviews and disappointing but acceptable raises and days filled with mindlessness. That kind of work has its positives (hello, benefits), but never enough to make me want to jump out of bed in the morning. Maybe you've had a job like that, too. Maybe you're in one, now? If so, maybe it's out of necessity, and I think there's something to that. But I do hope and pray for passion, too.
I know the idea of following your dreams often gets a bad rap. I know some people think it's foolish to keep going after some things. But I always end up right back in the same place: I honestly believe God gives us the desires of our hearts. Not in some kind of "name it and claim it" theology. And certainly not in a way that promises life will be a bed of roses. But, if you've got something stirring in your heart, and it keeps agitating your hope and making it rise to the surface, I say pay attention to that thing. Keep offering that thing up to God.
This feeling of chaos, hopelessness, and utter despair was the mood du jour for the people of God at the time of the events that unfolded in today's scripture. The first verse and the beginning of the second verse remind us that the rulers of the day were heavy-handed, tough-minded, and corrupt. It was into this cultural moment that John predicted the arrival of the Messiah, one who would usher in peace at just the right time.


John and Rose have been involved in Irish Dancing for over 20 years since their daughter Sarah, now ADCRG, first took up lessons at the age of six and progressed quickly through the grades into Open. From then onwards they have travelled extensively to competitions throughout Britain, Ireland, America and Canada, gaining an invaluable experience from not only the dancer's, but also the parents' side of Irish Dancing.
Rose is no stranger to Irish Dancing. As a child she danced in Belfast, as did her mother before her. Her nieces in Canada dance and her sister-in-law is a qualified ADCRG, teaching in Vancouver.
John spent a number of years on the Southern England Regional Council for Irish Dancing, serving for some time as Secretary and later as Chairman. During this time he became acquainted with Tom Gavigan of Antonio Pacelli through his various sponsorships and efforts in support of Irish dancing in the South of England and elsewhere. It was John's friendship with Tom that led him to become involved in the Irish dancewear business and consequently the Feiswear company was formed. Since then, John and Rose have travelled widely with the Feiswear stall trading at An Coimisiun World and All Ireland Championships, An Comhdhail All Ireland & International Championships and major competitions in Scandinavia, Europe, as well as Ireland and the UK.

Alicia and get around to review Dark Matter after watching the first two seasons. The series are on us and we were excited to see the 3rd season come out. But highly disappointed to know it was the last season.
When crew members working on a derelict spaceship awaken from stasis, they have no memory of who they are or how they got onto the vessel. The only clues to their identities are weaponry and a destination. They must band together to fight off the threats they face on a voyage filled with vengeance, betrayal and secrets. The sci-fi series is based on the graphic novel of the same name.


Dental insurance is an employee benefit offered by businesses of all sizes. Since it is not as widely offered as some other benefits, your decision to offer dental insurance as a benefit can help set your company apart as you compete in the market to attract and keep employees.
Just as we can help you find the best health insurance coverage for your business and employees in terms of price and coverage, we can help you with dental insurance, too.
When you get your employee dental insurance plan through us, we can generally get you the same, or better pricing and coverage than you are paying currently. We'll do the work for you and compare different group dental plan options and help you find the plan that offers the best solution for your company. Imagine you only have to make one call to us instead of calls to all the carriers and having to provide your information over and over.
Save time and most likely save money. Imagine not having to make multiple calls. We'll do the work and can shop Blue Cross®, Humana®, Delta Dental®, Guardian®, MetLife®, Prudential® to find the best combination of price and dental protection. You'll benefit from the additional support and service of our group benefits specialists on an ongoing basis. What could be better?
Do you already have a dental insurance plan? With the rising costs of dental insurance, you're probably looking for ways to save money for your company and your employees. Call us before your next renewal. We'll help you compare options, make your life easier, and help you find the best solution. The earlier you call the more options we can investigate.
Do we already provide other business insurance for your company? If so, it makes even more sense to let us help you with group dental benefits, too. Talk about one-stop shopping by having one reliable source for all your insurance needs.


The only thing missing from this week's link out is Mr. T or another reference to Rocky III.
Bill Miller has posted the third installment of the series we're doing for his blog on good players on awful teams. This week, Bill writes about Rusty Staub, the best thing going on the expansion Montreal Expos in 1969 (who were really, really terrible, even by Expo standards.) The locals referred to Staub as Le Grand Orange.
Anyone who enjoys this site or other history-related baseball blogs may like a series about "infamous or controversial historical figures who also had a notable association with baseball." So far, there have been posts on John Dillinger, Billy Sunday, and a 19th century catcher named Martin Bergen who killed his family and himself. I saw the Bergen story on Baseball Think Factory this week and subsequently read the other two pieces. They're all outstanding: well-researched, vivid, and well-told.
The journalism ethics student in me has loved a recent thread in the baseball blogosphere. For some reason, a lot of people hate Sports Illustrated writer Jeff Pearlman. With a passion. I read his book on the '86 Mets, The Bad Guys Won and don't know if I see what the hatred is about. Pearlman wrote a recent well-received CNN.com piece about tracking some of his haters down. Apparently, though, there's more to this story than he told.
Devon Young, who blogs about the 1982 Topps baseball set, has a fresh batch of articles up including one about a card he refuses to take out of the protective casing it came in off eBay: A 1982 Pascual Perez error card. Kind of sums up Perez's whole career.
Thanks for the plug of my blog, it's greatly appreciated.
You have to stop this friday feature though. I now have 2 more blogs that I have to check out on a daily basis. So many blogs to read, so little time…..I can't keep up!!!!!

According to her, it's his power color, so he's just rolled with it ever since he went pro in 1996. It might also be worth noting that he spent two years at Stanford, whose primary school color is red. Regardless, Tiger's another guy with a track record you can't argue with – on the course, at least. Tiger has 77 PGA Tour wins and recently made a long-awaited return to the number one spot in the pro rankings with a win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.

My boy Jax always seems hot. Even after he's been inside for a while, he sometimes pants heavy, like he's just come in from running. Just curious if this is normal?
He's 16 weeks. He has a vet check up next week and I'll ask about it then, but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Of course his favorite place in on top of the floor vent!
My dog is the same way. I would like to know that too. Lately after daily walks he pants and seems miserably hot for about 30 min. after we get home. I worry so much about my boy. I wish I knew.

15 Years Ago: Radiohead Redefine the Parameters of Music With the Groundbreaking 'Kid A'
Saby Reyes-Kulkarni
"The problem we have found is that we are essentially in limbo," wrote guitarist Ed O'Brien in an August 4, 1999 diary entry from the making of Radiohead's Kid A. "For the first time, we have nothing to get ready for, except 'an album.' But we've been working on that since January and nothing substantial has come of it except maybe a few harsh lessons in how not to do things. It's like 'how do we start this?' When we made our last three albums, there were time restrictions. We no longer have these. Are we going down [the same path as] the Stone Roses? [...] We need a plan and something to aim for..."
At the end of the same entry, O'Brien concedes that he and his bandmates had in fact "recorded some good stuff" by this point – in truth, there were already a handful of songs in the bag that they'd later end up keeping. But seven months into their attempt to follow-up on their breakout album, 1997's OK Computer, Radiohead found themselves adrift on open water with no clear sense of how to proceed. As O'Brien's comments suggest, lacking direction, having low morale and a lack of time constraints all conspired to make for an extremely difficult process – so difficult that the band came dangerously close to breaking up in the midst of their creative paralysis.
Of course, that's not how things turned out. And once the creative rapport between the band members began to click, Radiohead hit on a collective groove, ultimately churning out approximately 60 completed songs, 21 of which they chose to release as two separate companion albums: Kid A in 2000 and Amnesiac eight months later in 2001. But O'Brien's account makes it painfully clear: as the weeks rolled by and turned into months, Radiohead spent the bulk of 1999 soldiering through a mounting sense of futility and dread as neither the band nor producer Nigel Godrich could envision a coherent album taking shape out of a pile of ideas that just kept growing.
Imagine for a moment that you're in a three-guitar band that's achieved international stardom on the strength of catchy, albeit smart and inventive guitar rock. Then imagine that someone (say, a producer or manager) instructs you to marginalize the role of the guitars, drums, bass and vocals (i.e: every single instrument the band plays) all while struggling with internal pressure to match the ingenuity of your last album – an album that happened to garner gushing acclaim and cries from the music press that your band was poised to quote-unquote save rock and roll. Under these circumstances, you and your bandmates might have good reason to cry out with a collective "WTF"?
Even when Radiohead gutted their sound and groped in the dark for fresh deconstructivist approaches, the spirit of the band's creativity prevailed.
In Radiohead's case, though, it wasn't an external source issuing these orders – Godrich has admitted he was initially baffled as well – but frontman-bandleader Thom Yorke, whose disgust in the wake of OK Computer's success left him suffering from a nasty case of writer's block and alienation (the first stirrings of which can be seen in the OK Computer-era documentary Meeting People Is Easy). Much to the concern of Godrich and his bandmates, Yorke insisted that the band relinquish guitars as the primary foundation of their songs, supplanting the core of the music with an abstract palette of synthetic sounds rooted in the progressive electronica of acts like Aphex Twin and Autechre. Eventually, everyone got on board with Yorke, and each member came to relish his role generating sounds and tweaking sounds generated by the other members.
Indeed, when Kid A begins with the haunting "Everything in its Right Place," it's immediately apparent that Radiohead had atomized all traces of their pop instincts into digital dust. Tellingly, in the album's first appearance of intelligible vocals, Yorke sings "I'm not here / this isn't happening" on "How to Disappear Completely." Indeed, for most of the album, our conventionally defined notions of "song" and "band" dissolve into a gauzy meshwork of gleaming computerized surfaces that threaten to swallow the music's organic elements (e.g: live drums, the occasional acoustic guitar and string arrangements courtesy of the Orchestra of St. John's). But as opaque as Kid A sounds – by design, the music instills a sense of spacial disorientation that's vaguely unsettling – the songs also radiate with a warmth that belies their sonic construction.
When the crashing buildup of "Optimistic," for example, dies down to a gentle murmur that gives way to the ethereal "In Limbo" – where echoing keyboards, delicate guitar, splashing cymbals and Yorke's voice fall like a soft acid rain from a gray, hopelessly polluted sky – Radiohead are clearly aiming for a breathtaking moment. Yes, Kid A observes humanity through the eyes of Yorke's oft-voiced concerns about the environment, industrial abuse, rampant modernization and enslavement to technology – a humanity in danger of choking its own chances of survival at the cusp of the new millennium – but the songs nevertheless retain the essence of that humanity. And in pure musical terms, it's obvious that Radiohead were reaching for majestic heights with the darkened shadings they chose to build the music out of. That they did so in the relative absence of hooks says a lot about their ability to craft memorable songs regardless of the ingredients.
As Kid A shows, even when Radiohead gutted their sound and groped in the dark for fresh deconstructivist approaches, the spirit of the band's creativity prevailed in preventing the final results from succumbing to the formless mess they could have been. Looking back, we can only speculate on the album's greater impact. Does the experimental flavor of Wilco's similarly groundbreaking Yankee Hotel Foxtrot owe any debt to the path that Radiohead paved with Kid A? Or do both albums exemplify broader undercurrents at play in the culture at large in the late '90s and early 2000s?
Either way, it's safe to wager that Kid A inspired scores of artists to explore similar terrain in their own work. Just two years ago, Detroit rapper Danny Brown wore his Kid A influence on his sleeve while making his 2013 album Old. Brown's testimony is just one of many that indicate how much of a chord Kid A has struck with musicians of all stripes, and thus how far-reaching a shadow the album continues to cast over the musical landscape.

Led by his faith, former mayor back in Rio Rancho
By: Gary Herron / Rio Rancho Observer Staff Writer
Loading photo...
RIO RANCHO – If you haven't had a dark day – or dark period – in your life, you're one of the lucky ones.
Kevin Jackson had a dark period. He served the City of Vision as mayor from his election in March 2006 until his hasty resignation in July 2007 under accusations of illegal behavior.
But he has rebounded.
Now 62, he is married to Hannah, a native of China, and happily living in Rio Rancho. He said he is still doing what he'd done in his happier days as mayor: serving.
"I'm thankful; she has the same heart I do," he said of his wife, whom he met in Shanghai in 2015 and married two years ago.
Later, the couple was wed again by the Maisai tribe in Kenya – one of his favorite places.
"The Maisai is a curious culture, but they survived," Jackson said. "They went and hid and didn't fight the British."
Lately, he has been doing missionary and humanitarian work overseas.
"(Jackson) came to Maisai land as the first missionary volunteer to Olasiti, a village at the foot of Ngong Hills," noted Virginia Turasha, who invited him to her world. "I saw him in a dream, coming like an angel, and the following day, he arrived to Olasiti."
"He started teaching in a one-room school with four children; then the number of students increased up to six and then 14 more students joined the school," she said.
He helped to buy school books, paid the salary of the teacher, and found a "small desperate church" of seven members that Turasha pastored under a tree.
She said Jackson gave a donation to build the church, which has grown to 60 members.
"He also helped to build Naserian children home, now Naserian Children Foundation, that became the home for the needy, homeless, single parents, kids and orphans, plus the children born with HIV/AIDS," Turasha said.
A map of the world on a piece of metal has countless small magnets, each "pinned" to a different country where Jackson visited or worked.
"I'm at 188 countries and holding," he said.
Not many Rio Ranchoans can say they moved here in 1965; Jackson can. "When we moved here, I think there were 50 homes," he said.
In the mid-60s, there weren't enough boys to even field a Little League team.
"Karate was a big thing; there was nothing to do in Rio Rancho," he remembered. "I got into the Teen Club here as a 12-year-old. It gave us a sense of purpose."
He even managed to get some lessons from Chuck Norris, a friend of the club's founder.
"Going to Taylor Junior High and (then) West Mesa High School as a fair-haired, blue-eyed boy, you had to learn to run fast or fight back," he said.
He ran fast, competing on the track and field team, and following graduation, he said he obtained U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici's "first slot" to West Point.
"They weren't sending 'new people' to Vietnam in 1974," he said. "I was there 40 years later. I go back to Vietnam every year."
After his military career, Jackson headed back to Rio Rancho, eventually running for mayor.
"I loved serving the people; the staff was amazing," he said.
He recalled taking ride-alongs with officers, working on cleanup projects with parks and recreation and, literally, shoveling the muck next to then-Police Chief Bob Boone during the 100-year rains in summer 2006.
His wife, Kathy Jackson, served on the Rio Rancho school board.
Then came some miscommunication about who was going to represent the city in the July 4 parade in 2007, with Jackson angrily tearing up a proclamation, and financial woes, including allegations that he misused of a city-issued credit card.
He resigned as mayor, with his recall likely if he didn't step down. The family moved to Pennsylvania, and Kathy later lost her battle with cancer.
"It was the worst time in my life, clearly," he said. "My faith led me."
By faith, he means a request for his services in Somalia and Kenya, then suffering from drought and losing their cattle, a necessity for survival.
"I got my life together again," he said. "They asked me to come to their village. They didn't know what they needed; I didn't know. They had no education and no hope … I started a school; the warriors came and said, 'This is good,' and in one week we went from four to five kids to 16. By the end of the summer, we had 30."
That began another chapter in his life.
Jackson is still a regular at Grace Outreach Center, just as he'd been when he was mayor. He has been going abroad several times a year, building churches, schools and orphanages and teaching leadership and kung fu at the Chinese Military Academy.

Would have been the 4th tallest building in New York City at the time, surpassing the Chrysler Building, and would have been the 3rd tallest building in Lower Manhattan behind the World Trade Center.
(From ArchFwa.com)
Frank Williams conceived of the 60-story 1.5 million square foot office tower at the tip of Manhattan as "a metaphor of a lighthouse at the tip of the Island". This architectural design won the invited competition but the real-estate market has stalled the project from moving ahead. The rose granite and glass structure would have risen above a new Staten Island Ferry Terminal and renovated Battery Maritime Building. The Associated Architects are Fox & Fowle.The BMB will be recycled for cultural activities. The tower is topped with an all glass dome that will be illuminated at night. The dome provides public observation decks as well as public restaurants on three levels.
The architects designed a new limestone base for the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, and executed extensive copper restoration on the Battery Maritime Building. The enormous pedestrian activity at the base of the complex was reorganized. Generous public space to accommodate approximately 100,000 ferry and subway commuters that pass through the complex daily. A new waterfront esplanade, linking Battery Park to the Public Plaza has added two additional acres of park space. The new park adds a welcome amenity for the pedestrians in this new South Ferry Plaza complex as well as a gracious exterior arrivals space.
The South Ferry Plaza is one of my favorite never built projects, Its really hard to dislike this project. Its a real shame that it was never built. Dose anyone have any other info on this project?

The Other Guys Theatre Company's Good Timber celebrates the golden age of logging in the Pacific Northwest. The production is coming to the Chemainus Theatre Festival
Cowichan logging scenes featured in Good Timber
Good Timber, the latest show at the Chemainus Theatre Festival, celebrates logging and will likely bring back some memories.
Ashley Degraaf
The people down at Chemainus Theatre may have struck the mother lode for capturing local interest with its latest production.
That is with Other Guys Theatre Company's Good Timber, a show built around the logging camp poems of former Chemainus sawmill worker Robert E. Swanson and which features many historic clips of Cowichan's logging history.
"We get a lot of older guys coming up after our shows, saying they recognized a family member from one of the photos or they remembered something particular from the part of the show," said Other Guys' artistic director Ross Desprez.
And he suspects that will be the case following their Chemainus run, beginning May 22.
"In fact, quite a lot of material also came from the Victoria Museum, as well as a huge collection from Cowichan, from the local IWA union," he added, noting a "terrific" local image of a high-rigger standing on top of a spar tree. "It really shows the immensity of the work and how dangerous it really was."
Good Timber celebrates the golden age of logging in the Pacific Northwest, and the legendary bulls of the woods, hookers, hi-riggers, fallers, whistle punks and locie engineers from a time when loggers climbed trees through songs and stories told on stage in front of a multimedia backdrop of rarely-seen images from museum archives.
The show sold out its first run with the Royal B.C. Museum in 2010.
And the team including Desprez, who also acts, creative partner Tobin Stokes, multimedia and set designer John Carswell and Peter Pokorny and cast of John Gogo, Mark Hellman, Kelt and Colleen Eccleston, Sarah Donald, have 150 shows for over 23,000 people in 14 B.C. communities under their belts.
It all began when Desprez was inspired by a dog-eared copy of Rhymes of the Western Logger, a compilation of poetry by Swanson.
"If you'd stumbled into a skid road smoke shop or camp commissary during the 1940s or 50s, you would have seen well-thumbed copies of Swanson's chapbooks sticking up among the Reader's Digests," said the show's promotional material.
Some of Swanson's poems lamenting the dangers of the bush include The Cat Skinner's Prayer, The Death of Rough House Pete, and BC Hiball.
Besides writing, locally the engineer is known for designing and building the largest steam whistle in Canada at the Chemainus mill, that in May 10, 1940, blew the first of decades of starting and stopping signals.
Audience members can expect to buckle up for a blast to the past journey as the theatre stage transcends into the deep forest where a group of loggers suddenly emerge.
"What were the noises you would hear and how would it sound," Desprez said of songs built on Swanson's poetry banged out live on axes, handsaws, and choker bells to closely replicate that atmosphere as well as jingles played on guitars and fiddles.
The show's been known on occasion to be so realistic that it's moved audience members to tears.
"There are often a lot of families of loggers who come and even logger widows," said Desprez. "There have even been women in tears who've told us, 'My husband was a logger and I really had no idea what he did until now.'"
A message locals can chew on is how logging has changed with modern equipment taking over the worker's jobs, said Desprez.
Evening and matinee shows take place starting this Wednesday.

Christophers Movie Matinee
Mort Ransen
You are here: Home » 1969 » Christophers Movie Matinee
When movie cameras were put in the hands of a few young people, they made this film about themselves and their world. The footage they gathered is presented in this hour-and-a-half film with very little editing. There are sit-ins, love-ins, animated discussions among themselves about almost everything, and encounters with adults on a bus and on the street. The film is revealing in what it shows of a dissenting generation and its rationale.
Mort Ransen is an award-winning film director, writer and producer, best known for the film Margarets Museum. He began his career on stage, first as an actor and then director, after studying with Peggy Feury (whose students included Anjelica Houston and Sean Penn). He has made over 30 films for film and television and taught writing across Canada, including workshops for the National Film Board of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Film and Television and the National Theatre School. He is gradually returning to the theatre and has recently directed a George F. Walker play, Problem Child. This spring he will stage Garson Kanins Born Yesterday at the Art Centre in Whitehorse, and then mount the same play at Artspring, on Salt Spring Island, BC, where he lives.

We feel lucky every day. Our community has provided us with a great place to live and work. Our kids can grow and learn in safety and comfort. We're surrounded by opportunities personally and professionally.
For that, we are eternally grateful, and we like to give a little bit back to our community. We work hard to research the charities we choose to support and to make sure they're doing the greatest good with their contributions.
Episcopal Relief & Development works to save lives and transform communities worldwide. They rebuild after disasters and empower people to create lasting solutions that fight poverty, hunger, and disease. They working in 40 countries impacting the lives of nearly 3 million people around the world.
ERD has a high rating on Charity Navigator. While we typically seek a higher rating, it's very close to the highest it can be and we have close personal ties with the organization.
One thing we love about this program is you get to donate specific needs to the communities you're supporting. This is certainly the first time we've donated a cow and chickens. We also funded farming tools and community gardens, prenatal and postnatal maternity care, and 1 year of education for 5 girls.
A little closer to home, the Tiger Flight Foundation, base in Rome, Georgia inspires kids to be "Pilot in Command" of their own lives. All donations go toward the motivational and character development programs.
My relationship began with Tiger Flight as a volunteer pilot. I had a young man in my plane and as we taxied out, he said, "I've never been in a plane before." I asked him what was his favorite place to visit. He told me he'd never been out of Rome, GA. He was nervously excited as we started rolling down the runway.
We had barely left the ground when he could no longer contain his excitement and he looked at me almost teary-eyed and said, "I feel like I can see the whole world from here!" I thought, "from here kid, the whole world is in front of you . . . and I think you'll see it."

It may be an odd thing to say of a player who has represented both Liverpool and Sporting CP (both have 37 domestic league titles between them) but on Tuesday night, Tiago Ilori played arguably the biggest match of his young career at the Madejski Stadium in Berkshire.
Ilori may be only 24, but he seemed in danger of drifting into obscurity.
He broke into the first team at Sporting in 2013, making his senior league debut for the Lions alongside a certain Eric Dier in defence in a 3-2 victory over Gil Vicente. In total, he made 11 league appearances before Liverpool decided they had seen enough and snagged him for an undisclosed fee. Dier stayed one more season in Lisbon, and then moved to Tottenham Hotspur.
One can only speculate as to the reasons, but what is clear is that the paths of both players have diverged markedly.
Liverpool perhaps proved a step too far, and too soon, and after sundry loans, the Reds finally cut their losses, accepting a bid by Reading to take the player off their hands in a club-record deal for the Royals.
Dier has blossomed in London, scoring on his debut, becoming a mainstay at White Hart Lane, and representing England at the Euros last summer.
It is a cautionary tale, and not just about the dangers young players face moving to a huge clubs in a different league.
Dier came into Tottenham as one of the first signings of Mauricio Pochettino's tenure, a manager whose demands on defensive players suited him down to a tee. The Argentine has refined the 23-year-old, magnifying his strengths and showing him the trust that is so crucial to player development.
That same intangible but crucial ingredient has been in short supply for Ilori, first under Brendan Rodgers, and then under Jurgen Klopp.
No surprise then that, under Dutch legendary defender Jaap Stam, he may belatedly be coming of age.
In the absence of club skipper Paul McShane, Ilori came into the backline for the second leg of the Championship playoff semi-final against Fulham, and was magnificent. For context, the Cottagers finished the regular season tied with Newcastle United for the league's best attack (85 goals scored), and led both on shots per game and average possession.
Basically, this Fulham side can play.
Despite a lack of playing time this term, Ilori turned in a thoroughly accomplished performance, with he and veteran goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi particularly defiant under heavy shelling. Particularly impressive was his ability to anticipate the movement of ball, cutting out Fulham attacks before they had a chance to develop.
He was not, however, averse to getting his hands (and shorts) dirty, as shown by his game-high five tackles. On the bench, Stam must have smiled quietly, himself a tough-tackling defender in his playing days, at the sort of assertiveness that was so frequently lacking while the 24-year-old was at Anfield.
On the basis of this display, he now has a choice to make for the final as to whether to retain Ilori in the starting line-up for the playoff final against Huddersfield Town following their penalty victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday. If they do secure promotion though, we will finally get to see how the Portuguese-Nigerian would get on at the highest level, a possibility denied us while he was with Liverpool.
This would be vital for the possibility of him playing for Nigeria at some point in the future, as Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr will not consider players in the lower divisions. There is, however, a bit of a shortage at the back for the Super Eagles, with an injection of quality surely needed.
Ilori has, up to this point, featured exclusively for the Portugal youth sides despite also being eligible for England, and was a part of their squad to last year's Olympic Games in Rio. However, the step up to the senior national side is the steepest, and Nigeria could very profit within the window of uncertainty.
First though, there is work to do to convince. He has taken the first step and seized the opportunity handed him, and though it has taken him a lot longer, he may finally be able to showcase what it is Liverpool saw in him four years ago.
