UNC's Free Pass Offers Hope for Louisville Fans
By Riley Overend
October 16, 2017 Updated June 5, 2020 at 5:51 pm
Louisville fans were not happy by the time their bourbon-fueled gameday experience was over late Saturday afternoon. They watched their Heisman hero total 500 yards and five touchdowns, only to be outdone by a notoriously low-scoring Steve Addazio offense led by a backup quarterback and a true freshman running back.
As SBNation's Spencer Hall wrote on Twitter, "Giving up 35 points to Boston College is a sign your defense has termites and needs to be tented."
And that was with 15 minutes remaining. By the end of the 45-42 upset, the Cardinals' battered front seven looked overpowered against the Eagles equally-battered offensive line.
"This is about as tough a loss as I remember being around," Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino said after the game.
What was frustrating for Louisville fans were the repeated missed tackles and blown coverages—plus, it looked like BC just wanted it more. So the 45,000 faithful in Papa John's Stadium let the Cardinals know how they felt about it.
Boos showered from the stands on each of the Eagles' final three scores, usually provoked by a thundering run from A.J. Dillon, who finished with 272 yards and three touchdowns en route to Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors. Fans retreated back into the heart of the city after the loss with their heads down. My Lyft driver ranted about Bobby Petrino's short leash, and how his buyout was cut in half when athletic director Tom Jurich was canned.
Even the United Airlines representative, who spotted my BC sweatshirt after telling me my 6 a.m. flight was delayed again, couldn't help but roast his team's defense. "TURH-ible," he said shaking his head. "Just TURH-ible."
The loss comes at a troubling time for fans. In the background of football's mediocre year lurks the impending FBI scandal that chewed up Rick Pitino and spit out grease. The future of Louisville men's basketball is in serious jeopardy: After the program's 2013 stripper scandal, some are even calling for the dreaded "death penalty."
But there are two pieces of news this week that may ease die-hard Louisville fans' qualms about their only local sports team.
First, the FBI investigation into the pay-for-shoe-deal debacle may not make its way back into NCAA jurisdiction in quite some time. That bodes well, as North Carolina just showed the rest of the country how to expertly "run out the clock" on the NCAA.
On Friday, the NCAA announced that it would not be handing down sanctions in an academic fraud case dating back nearly a decade. It concerned phony classes, and the high number of student-athletes who enrolled for bogus essays and easy A's.
But because UNC also offered these courses to the general student body, they fit neatly into a loophole in NCAA bylaws. The university was in the wrong, the Committee on Infractions admitted, but couldn't be punished because they didn't break the rules. In other words, the NCAA provided a blueprint to its members on how to get away with academic fraud.
The NCAA's disciplinary process, which dragged on for four years until the scandal was nearly a decade in the rear view mirror, worked in favor of UNC. It also didn't hurt that the Tar Heels are the darlings of college basketball, with enough of a storied history to make any commissioner think twice about sanctions.
And so it was business as usual for Roy Williams & Co. this weekend.
UNC hung up its 2017 national championship banner, right next to the 2005 and 2009 titles that were at risk of being vacated as a punishment. Many players from both national championship teams were enrolled in the courses in question.
This is fake education. It's exposing the fallacy of the modern student-athlete, and the inability of the NCAA to control its member schools. And it's why any harsh sanctions that the NCAA deals Louisville won't hold up in the court of public opinion. It's hard to crack down on the Cardinals if the NCAA just gave the Tar Heels a free pass for cheating.
Unfortunately, Mark Emmert & Co. seem unconcerned with public approval. Otherwise, they wouldn't prevent a USF punter from using his popular YouTube account while they cling to to their outdated model of amateurism. It isn't ridiculous to think they could make an example out of Louisville and impose penalties that could damage recruiting for years.
But even if worse comes to worst, Louisville will be just fine. Just look at Penn State. After receiving sweeping sanctions in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky-Joe Paterno scandal, the football team went won eight games the follow season. The Nittany Lions made bowl games in 2014 and 2015 before finishing ranked seventh in the country in 2016. This year, they're considered a serious College Football Playoff contender.
So cheer up, Cardinal fans. The next few years will likely be painful. You'll lose some recruits, a few fans, and maybe one national championship from 2013. But Louisville men's basketball, like Penn State football, is engineered for success with its resources, facilities, and fanbase. And you really only need five players to turn things around—that's only a couple recruiting classes worth of talent.
Yes, the loss to BC stings. And the next couple years will likely be painful. But whatever happens, just know that it'll get better soon—and we over in Chestnut Hill have suffered through much worse.

ONE COMMENT ON THIS POST To "UNC's Free Pass Offers Hope for Louisville Fans"
Fukowi says:
The NCAA's handling of the North Carolina disgrace makes the whole system a bad joke and the fault lies squarely with Mark Emmert – a gutless overpaid president who will always man up for the NCAA and its principles as long as he's dealing with a weaker less influential institution that won't threaten his cushy position. Case in point – he went after North Dakota with a vengeance over their Fighting Sioux moniker while completely ignoring the more powerful Florida State Seminoles and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. College athletics needs a strong NCAA and can be fixed – but nothing will happen until they get a Judge Landis type president more interested in the institution than a lightweight more interested in his paycheck.

Efficiency and sustainability are key areas the food industry will need to focus on.
There is no question that food waste is an issue that isn't going away any time soon; it has the potential to affect future generations and how food is made and consumed if we continue on the current path. From production and processing to retailing and consumption, food waste occurs at different stages. And unfortunately, it is a global problem for industrialized and developing countries alike.
According to The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), approximately one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year is lost or wasted. This equates to about 1.3 billion tons; sadly, this amount is enough to feed 2 billion people.
Globally, how do we overcome this issue and what can we do in order to create an impact that will be felt in years to come?
According to "The Great Balancing Act" published by the World Resources Institute, reducing global food loss and waste by one-half by the year 2050 would mean that we would need 1.314 trillion fewer calories than if we continued with our current approach to food. These savings would close roughly 22% of the gap between today's availability of food and demand in the year 2050.
Luckily there are companies and organizations across the globe that are advocating for awareness and taking small steps to ensure a big change.
A recent New York Times article takes a look at how some food sellers are discounting the prices of "inglorious" vegetables and fruits in order to avoid throwing them out in a fight against food waste. From blemished oranges to curvy cucumbers, these imperfect, but still tasty food products are becoming increasingly popular among bargain shoppers. And well-known chefs are even getting involved in the movement by cooking with all types of produce, even the less appealing choices. Ingredients sourced from farms and vendors that were once being thrown out, now have a place at the table.
In addition to fruit and vegetables, bread is another commonly wasted food product. Approximately one-third of purchased bread is thrown away. Between its constant availability, short shelf-life and low price point, fresh bread is often taken for granted and overlooked. To that end, it also has the ability to help save the planet by feeding future generations like its produce counterpart.
Ten years ago, World Bread Day (WBD) was started by the International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners and then later taken over by a German food blogger. Aimed at bringing awareness to bread and food waste, WBD is growing in popularity outside of Europe. Groups close to the cause are determined to make it a popular event everywhere, including Eat the Ball, a bread company that is making its way into U.S. retailers and food service operations.
In addition to creating awareness and change while reducing the amount of food we throw out, efficiency and sustainability are key areas that the food industry will need to focus on throughout future decades. To that end, companies implementing technologies and production processes that help reduce food loss and waste globally will help secure the food supply for new generations.
One of the most natural and important technologies for enhancing food security and maintaining the freshness and nutritional value of food is freezing. In fact, freezing is Mother Nature's way of pressing the pause button.
Eat the Ball has made food waste a major priority since inception. The company uses a patented technology process, called pro.ferment.iced to help its product maintain a longer shelf life without any preservatives and keeps all the healthy ingredients intact. The bread is not baked in a classic way, instead it goes through a special fermentation process, at a very low temperature. Flash frozen after production, the product keeps its quality for up to one and a half years and can even be refrozen after defrosting. Thus the bread becomes a high quality convenience product for the end consumer.
The bottom line is that the food industry will continue to innovate and evolve, and company leaders will need to ensure that sustainability and ethical business decisions are front and center. In order to continue to feed the billions of people around the globe, it is imperative that we collectively make better choices. In order to thrive in business and as a society, we need to embrace change, educate others, protect what we have and set up the proper foundation for what we will need in years to come.

Trump administration plans immigration enforcement operation
By SOPHIA TAREEN and COLLEEN LONG Associated Press
CHICAGO — The Trump administration is moving forward with a nationwide immigration enforcement operation this weekend targeting migrant families, despite loud opposition from Democrats and questions over whether it's the best use of resources given the crisis at the border.
The operation had been postponed by President Donald Trump late last month and would target people with final deportation orders, including families whose immigration cases were fast-tracked by judges in 10 major cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Miami.
It has sparked outrage and concern among immigrant-rights advocates and lawmakers.
"Our communities have been in constant fear," Estela Vara, a Chicago-area organizer said Thursday at a rally outside the city's Immigration and Custom Enforcement offices where some activists chanted "Immigration Not Deportation!"
The sweep remains in flux and could begin this weekend or later, according to two administration officials, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Still, the American Civil Liberties Union pre-emptively filed a lawsuit Thursday in an attempt to protect asylum seekers.
Meanwhile, activists ramped up efforts to prepare by bolstering know-your-rights pocket guides, circulating information about hotlines and planning public demonstrations. Vigils outside of detention centers and other hundreds of locations nationwide were set for Friday evening, to be followed by protests Saturday in Miami and Chicago.
The operation is similar to ones conducted regularly since 2003 that often produce hundreds of arrests. It is slightly unusual to target families, as opposed to immigrants with criminal histories, but it's not unprecedented. The Obama and Trump administrations have targeted families in previous operations.
But this latest effort is notable because of the politics swirling around it.
Trump announced on Twitter last month that the sweep would mark the beginning of a push to deport millions of people who are in the country illegally, a near-impossibility given the limited resources of ICE, which makes the arrests and carries out deportation orders.
Then he abruptly canceled the operation after a phone call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, while lawmakers worked to pass a $4.6 billion border aid package . Plus, details had leaked, and authorities worried about the safety of ICE officers.
The agency said in a statement that it would not discuss specifics about enforcement operations.
"As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security," according to the statement.
Trump started hinting anew in recent days that more removals were coming. He said last weekend they would be starting "fairly soon."
"Well, I don't call them raids," he said. "I say they came in illegally and we're bringing them out legally."
Ken Cuccinelli, the new head of Citizenship and Immigration Services, told CNN on Wednesday that the raids were "absolutely going to happen."
Pelosi said she hoped the administration would reconsider. "Families belong together," she said.
The administration has been straining to manage a border crisis , and some officials believe flashy shows of force in deporting families would deter others migrants from coming. But others have criticized any move that draws resources away from the border at a time when the Border Patrol is detaining four times the number of people it can hold. Also, a watchdog report found filthy, potentially dangerous conditions at some stations.
Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a former immigrant advocate, accused the administration of showing a "willingness to be cruel at every turn. It sickens me that this is this is the United States of America. We are so much better than this."
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, blamed Pelosi for the raids, saying she had done "nothing" since they were delayed. "It is the speaker who caused this problem," he said.
He said Trump would have postponed the raids again if he saw progress in House.
Operations in New Orleans were put on hold due to severe weather. The city tweeted that it confirmed with ICE that enforcement would be suspended through the weekend as the region braced for the first hurricane of the season.
Some activists said they were gearing up for operations to start Sunday and planned to protest. Organizers estimated a rally planned for Saturday in Chicago would draw around 10,000 people.
"We will not be swayed by fear and fiat," said Justin Valas with Asian Americans Advancing Justice in Chicago.
The ACLU lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York, argued that thousands of migrants fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, were not allowed a fair chance to request asylum due but were still ordered removed from the country. They are asking that those individuals get another hearing.
Others said they were skeptical that Trump would follow through on the threat.
Advocates have ramped up know-your-rights training since Trump took office, reminding immigrants, regardless of their immigration status, about their right to remain silent and to ask authorities for proper paperwork.
They have also explained that immigrants can often avoid arrest simply by not opening doors to agents, who need permission to enter private homes. That has forced ICE officers to wait outside courthouses and other public places to make arrests.
"We don't want to alarm folks, but we want to alert folks," said Melissa Taveras of the Florida Immigrant Coalition.
Long reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Lisa Mascaro and Mary Clare Jalonick contributed to this report.

خانه Brands Hugo Boss brand
Hugo Boss brand
The Hugo Boss brand, often known as the BOSS brand, is a German luxury brand that was founded by Hugo Ferdinand Bass in 1924 and is home to Metzingen, Germany.
The main focus of the Hugo Boss brand was the production of military uniforms for Nazi soldiers during World War II and even before the war began. After the war and the death of Hugo Ferdinand Bass, the founder of the brand, the company focused on the production of men's suit. The company became famous in 1985 and began designing and manufacturing a women's clothing line in 1997. The first collection of women's clothing in 2000, and in 2008 added baby clothes to its range of products, and has since grown to become one of the largest houses in the world with over 1100 stores. Fashion will be in the world.
History of the Hugo Boss brand
Hugo Boss, some time after his start, was bankrupt due to the economic conditions of that time. But in 1931, he agreed with his creditors and began to work with six sewing machines. In the same year, he joined the Nazi Army, where sales and profits from sales of his products multiplied.
In 1946, Hugo Boss was deprived of the right to vote and run a business for funding the group and producing uniforms for joining the Nazi group, and heavily fined for seventy thousand dollars. Bass later appealed and, in a new ruling, was recognized as a supporter and follower of the Nazi Party, which made his punishment cheaper. He died in 1948, but his business continued to survive.
Due to the bans curfew, his groom, Eugen Holy, was the owner and owner. In 1950, the company received its first man-made suit, and gradually and by the end of the year the number of employees reached 150. In 1969, he retired and left the company to two of his sons, which contributed to the global brand development.
The company introduced the first perfume under brand name in 1984. This led to the company's stock growth in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the same year. In the same years, the brand helped to recognize several famous golf and tennis players through sponsorship. In 1989, the company designed its first sunglasses under its license. The following year, the company was purchased by a Japanese group.

Tamina Jax and Nia Snuka.
Upon witnessing professional sports-entertainers Tamina and Nia Jax standing side-by-side this past Monday on WWE Raw, 33-year-old Todd Erickson of Tuscaloosa expressed his surprise that they are not one and the same.
"I'll be damned," muttered Erickson, rubbing his eyes to ensure he wasn't seeing double.
For the past two years, Erickson — and an estimated 17 percent of WWE fans — have held the mistaken belief that "Nia Jax" was a rebranding of Tamina, whose father, Jimmy Snuka, lived under a cloud of suspicion for decades that he had attempted to fatally squish Don Muraco.
Erickson has been similarly confused in the past, like the time he was mistakenly convinced that there was only one Ultimate Warrior (the role was portrayed by nine different men).
More recently, Erickson finally conceded defeat in his long-running argument that Curt Hawkins and Buddy Murphy are the same person.
He still refuses to believe, however, that Mr. America was Hulk Hogan in disguise, dismissing the allegation as "preposterous," since Hogan was suspended from WWE at the time.

Rail expansion would boost job creation, says labour union
By Tess KalinowskiReal Estate Reporter
Transportation Reporter
Fri., Nov. 29, 2013timer2 min. read
Instead of cutting the dwindling number of passenger trains, Canada should re-invest in rail to drive manufacturing, engineering and technology jobs and raise tax revenues, says the country's largest private-sector labour union.
Unifor, which represents about 9,000 rail workers, including 2,100 Via Rail employees, issued a report Friday calling for the overhaul and massive expansion of Via or the creation of a new high-speed passenger network.
"Let's not kid ourselves, it's going to be expensive," said union president Jerry Dias, who put the cost of high-speed rail in the order of $19 billion to $21 billion, depending on the technology.
But for every million dollars of investment, Canada would get $3 million back, he said.
Passenger rail is critical to cities, said Toronto councillor Adam Vaughan (Ward 20 Trinity-Spadina).
"It's not just about getting people to grandma's house at Easter. It's about getting ideas to market … sharing the synergies that are evolving in our post-secondary institutions, which are housed in cities along the rail corridor," he told a Toronto press conference on Friday.
"High-speed rail connects all these things through Toronto to a modern, global economy," he said.
"If you're developing new technology in Windsor, Waterloo or Montreal and you need to get to emerging markets in Brazil or China, the best airport in the world to fly out of is Toronto. With a rail link to Pearson, with a Union link to those cities at high speed, researchers, academics and investors can start to tie into the network of innovation that's taking place across Ontario and tie into international markets," said Vaughan.
But Ottawa appears to be doing just the opposite, according to the Unifor report. It projects that by next year, Via's federal operating and capital funding will be down 65 per cent from 2010 levels.
Via cut 195 union jobs in 2012 and eliminated 45 positions in July. About 20 per cent of stations are now unstaffed, according to the report. In Ontario, service has been reduced to places such as Cobourg, Cornwall, Kitchener, London, and Stratford.
Passenger rail is suffering from a vicious circle, said union economist Jordan Brennan: The government cuts funding, Via management cuts jobs and riders respond by avoiding rail travel.
"With faster trains, better service, increased connectiveness and higher frequencies, we think passenger rail could compete with the automobile and the airplane," he said.
Unifor says there are different options for building a high-speed rail system: one in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor where most Via service is concentrated; a service linking major Western cities such as Edmonton and Calgary; or a national line that would connect Vancouver to Halifax.
Unifor represents 300,000 Canadian workers, including some Toronto Star employees. The union is the product of a merger this year of the Canadian Auto Workers and Communication, Energy and Paperworkers unions.


When I was in high school, there was a school-sponsored gathering concerning the war in Vietnam. I asked the invited speaker what resources did Vietnam have. He dismissed the idea that the invasion had anything to do with resources. Thirty years later (and not a word before) I heard historian Howard Zinn saying that State Department memos in the fifties stated that the primary reason for a war in Vietnam was resources: tin, rubber and oil.


Rod, recently I read about a study that tried to assess global de/reforestation rates. Iirc, the US is indeed experiencing some reforestation — but this comes with the caveat that the new ecosystem is always very much poorer in biodiversity than the original. Many of these "forests" are, in fact, tree farms comprising cheap pine monocultures.
Worse, the assessment found undiminished deforestation rates in the tropics. This is devastating to biodiversity and may also accelerate climate change, as the cloud cover that accompanies tropical forests disappears.
Jim (251), Thanks. I was talking only of the United States. And I recall there was noticeable differences in losses/gains among tree types. I understand that rain/tropical forests are a whole different ballgame.
Rod B, 250, I don't know a lot about the figures for US forestry, and I'm certain you are smart enough to google for anything you want to know, and don't require me to do it for you.
In the UK, forestry is now probably better managed than any time for centuries, but all that really has happened is that timber demand is sourced worldwide and imported from countries where forests have less protection. I know that Japan has the same practices, cherishing it's own forests while devastating forests elsewhere. Likely USA is the same.
As Jim Galasyn says, quality is more important than quantity. Secondary re-growth, or replanting does not replace natural virgin or primary forest, like for like. That's one of the most striking lessons I learned in my life. I studied wildlife since childhood and spent a lot of time in the woods. About 20 years back, I had the privilege of studying a bit of ancient woodland, tiny by USA standards, just 150 acres, one of a handful of fragments left in UK as forest cover since the glaciers retreated. The density of species there is astonishing. Things I'd never seen anywhere before. It takes hundreds, even thousands, of years to establish that sort of complexity and variety.
But that place is just a tiny island in an ocean of farmed land, which must once have been similar woodland. It's easy to smash a complex ecosystem and put something diminished and inferior in it's place. Rats and stinging nettles and the like. But reversing the process takes a long, long time. Fortunately, there's many enthusiastic folk working on behalf of trees these days, so, if it were not for the threat from climate change, I'd be optimistic for the future of British trees.
But I agree with Jim Galasyn, every year enormous areas of tropical forest are lost which is a terrible tragedy, a loss to science and posterity, in addition to the bad feedback toward global warming. That's where effort should be directed.
Thing is, what to do for the best ?
I thought this was interesting. A couple of pie charts, and what conclusions to draw from them ?
To see the power of paying close attention to what's in the news and holding the editors' and reporters' feet to the fire, you can't do better these days than the Calculated Risk blog (not about climate; it's about risk and sense and cost and benefit and reading the data for yourself instead of just believing what people say).
Reporters and editors: I'm going to keep this up until it stops. So I really suggest you make it stop. If you don't bother to evaluate your sources before you publish, I will do it after you publish.
There is a lot of reforestation happening in the United States, but too often it is occurring after the liquidation old growth forests.
In Alaska, for example, the U.S. Forest Service spent nearly $36 million in 2002 preparing timber sales that generated only $1.2 million in revenue. The logging of ancient forests here simply is a subsidy to a few hundred loggers. There is little domestic demand for these trees, so most of them are shipped to Japan.
Plus a lot of forests (especially plantations) have gone up in smoke the past few years. Many of the fires that ravaged California this summer were burning in lands that had been logged and replanted. So it will take some time until these lands again are reforested.
"33.1% —or about 303,089,000 hectares—of United States of America is forested. Of this, 34.4% —or roughly 104,182,000 hectares—is classified as primary forest, the most biodiverse form of forest.
CL (253) and Jim (257), thanks; very informative.
"…the second largest continuous area of forest in the world: the Central African Rainforest. This great block of green canopy contains some of the richest plant and animal habitat in existence. This area of forest also contains, potentially, around 37 billion tonnes of carbon, more than the whole of Southeast Asia and the USA combined; that is over five times as much carbon as all human activity on Earth produces each year.
"..the Central African Rainforest was under extreme pressure from logging and other practices including the mining of mineral resources. The natural Canadian Boreal forest may not have the deeply rich ecological diversity of the rainforest, but neither is it a monoculture plantation of identical trees marching across the landscape in some grotesque military spectacle. The "owners" of plantations in these forests proudly claim the planting of two trees for every one removed – look at the back of a birthday card, or a pad of paper – and they are not lying; yet they fail to explain that those two trees are part of a cash crop, substituting a complex interweaving of dependent species for a desert of quick growing sawmill fodder.
Wood removals are declining in Mexico and the United States of America, while they continue to increase in Canada. This trend is reflected in economic data, with modest growth in several economic indicators in Canada and a slight decline in the other two.
1) As an "Austrian", I think you're almost as far from the neoclassical mainstream as I am!
2) Economics is more liable than the physical sciences to ideological pressures, because its conclusions are used to justify existing distributions of wealth. Of course saying this is not a refutation of neoclassical microeconomics – that depends on its wildly inaccurate picture of human decision-making, its fixation on equilibrium phenomena, and its cornucopian assumptions about natural resources. On at least the first two of these, I would think as an "Austrian" you agree with me, at least in the negative sense of criticising the current majority position – and you say above that markets aren't particularly good at dealing with environmental problems. Incidentally, I agree Adam Smith is a good place to start – but so did Marx.
3) The approach I advocate is democratic socia-lism, with decision-making organised using an approach called negotiated coordination. I've mentioned the latter before, the best current reference is probably "Democracy and Economic Planning: The Political Economy of a Self-Governing Society" Pat Devine, Polity Press, Cambridge UK and Westview Press. Boulder, CO., USA, 1988. Pat's a friend of mine, who I believe is working on an update.
Theoretically, I'd describe myself as a world-systems theorist at the macro-scale (capitalism can only be understood as an inter-societal system in which elites in "core" states use state power to maintain their position both internally and externally) and a radical institutionalist at the meso-scale (institutional systems – where an institution is a coordinated set of norms – are constitutive of individual motivational structures). I regard the attempt to separate out an "economic sphere" which can be studied independently of broader socio-techno-ecosystems as fundamentally misconceived. I realise the above would need a lot of unpacking to stand alone, but you did ask. Google William Dugger for a starting point on radical institutionalism, Christopher Chase-Dunn for my favourite world-systems theorist. Others who've influenced me a lot include Herbert Simon (also a Nobel-winning economist), and the school of experimental and cross-cultural economists around Samuel Bowles. Finally, I have a recent article in "Ecology and Society" (http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol12/iss1/art24/)that could be of some interest.
On other points, I agree with much of what CL and Jess have said.
Incidentally, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the minimum wage example you gave to know whether Sowell is right in that case, but there clearly are cases (like the recent UK one) where the predicted drop in employment has not occurred. Changing one specific aspect of a complex system won't always have the same effect: it depends on what else is going on.
Gazeing wistfully at the little cartoon map at the head of this topic…where are the forests ? Where are the rivers ?
"it is obvious that economic growth is ultimately unsustainable – especially given the narrow, capital based definition used to define the term "economy" in the industrial world – yet, we continue to be fobbed off by the message that we must have economic growth in order to progress or develop as humans. Of course, if we judge development or progress in terms of the number of televisions, computers and cars we have, the size of home we have or the amount of energy we use; then economic growth most certainly does lead to a more "developed" human race. If we judge development or progress on rather more esoteric (and, quite frankly, more important) measures such as clean water and air, physical and mental health, freedom of expression, and having a future that our descendants will be able to thrive in; then economic growth is failing on almost all of these counts. Humans in every place touched by the rank hand of industrialisation are told that development based upon economic growth, is good. When you think about it, though, the only true form of development is that which moves us into balance with our natural environment – in effect a reversal of what we are now doing. You do not have to be financially prosperous in order for your water to be clean – you just need a basic level of hygiene, sensible water management techniques and, most of all, a lack of toxic muck being poured into the water supply by industrial processes.
"The delta of the great Colorado River – where once it swept into the Gulf of California – used to be the most wonder-filled wetland in the whole North American continent.
IMO that cleanly and succinctly describes the deficiencies of economic models and of economists viz-a-viz AGW — or for that matter viz-a-viz anything — better than I have seen. Thanks.
Unfortunately, just so my accolade doesn't inappropriately spill over, I have to assert for the record that I do not agree with your further analysis and conclusions regarding democratic soc_ial_ism.
Nick, 262, you MUST be wrong!!!! The economics graph says so!!!
Sigh. It seems as though denialism is all around sometimes, doesn't it.
It is a bit of an over generalization to suggest economists are in some sort of opposition to the idea of climate change — many are involved, working on "how do we resolve this issue" as opposed to working to refine the science, which isn't thier job.
There are three main problems facing humanity, as I see it. First, there is the sheer number of human beings presently alive on the planet. Therefore, it doesn't much matter what one individual does or does not do, it matters what 6.7 billion humans do. What we do, collectively, is chew upon every other form of life in sight, which brings up the second point: severe degradation of all life ecosystems on the planet. The third matter, of course, is rapid and severe climate change, which exacerbates the first two effects. If the first two problems weren't bad enough (and they clearly are), then global warming is the accelerant added to the fire.
Picayune arguments as to whether or not changing one's light bulbs or driving a hybrid auto are a moral good and will allow us to collectively survive are rendered nonsensical by the scope of the matter. In all other cases of human history and likely pre-history, when faced with a population overextended beyond its resources, human populations collapse back to a sustainable level, just as with all other animals and other creatures. We cannot escape the laws of life on this planet, and until we learn to eat sand, that will remain the truth.
Economists view life with blinders on. They are only concerned with the movement and exchange of money, with lame and amorphous justifications for it like "self-interest." Economics is useful as far as it goes, as a social tool, but it is not very useful for life as a whole (i.e., ALL of life). Furthermore, economics is always, always interpreted from the human standpoint, not in essential broader terms. We do not exist, as a species, in a bio-vacuum.
In David Montgomery's recent book on soil, Dirt, he presents an overview of human agricultural exploitation of the critical, thin layer of humus upon which our very lives–and the existence of nearly all terrestrial life, depends. We have thoughtlessly and selfishly destroyed every rich, life-preserving soil on this planet, and there is no room for further ignorant and maniacal exploitation. This fact alone will diminish our numbers before long–and permanently. Add to this the destruction of life systems in the ocean, and the emptying of the skies of avian fauna, and we are faced with living (or not) upon a desertified, deserted world which has been seriously crippled for rest of our unimportant existence as a species.
There is no "energy solution" which can forestall the steepest decline in human numbers in our collective experience (ever?), meaning billions of people must and necessarily will die off shortly. Yes, every drop of practical oil will continue to be burnt, and every lump of coal will also go up some chimney, as long as we are able. Meanwhile, the entire planet which is Rome continues to burn, and we are unable to stop ourselves from our own self-destructive will to survive at any cost. The cost will be great.
Mark R., While I see great challenges ahead, I think that there is as much danger in the complacency of hopelessness as there is in the complacency of denial. We can certainly buy time to find solutions by driving hybrids and changing lightbulbs–even building clotheslines. The people of Juneau, AK managed to cut back energy consumption by 30% with relative ease whan avalanches cut them off from hydroelectic power earlier this year.
Humans face not 3 major problems, but really just one: sustainability–that is maintaining progress in a way that is consistent with and conducive to the health of our finite environment. Even if we could stabilize human population tomorrow, there would still be pressure to increase consumption as the poor strive to survive and perhaps prosper and the wealthy strive to become wealthier. Even if we were to decrease human population we would be faced with the threats of deflation and caring for an aging population that always result when human population declines. Peak oil complicates things. Development complicates things further, and climate change makes things difficult indeed. I do, however, think that it is just possible that human civilization can survive and prosper if we can navigate between the Scylla of denial and the Charbidis of hopelessness.
If anyone is interested, there's just been a change in the planning rules in Pembrokeshire, Wales , UK, where I live, just a few weeks ago, so there's new opportunities opening up here to allow that kind of dwelling.
I have 25 acres, and cottage, where I've been for 20 years, and which is more than I can cope with because of health and getting old, so shareing with someone would probably be a mutually beneficial arrangement. I have the timber already, highest quality oak that's been cut 20 years.
If anyone feel inspired to explore possibilities, I can be contacted at wolf dot bird at virgin dot net.
Dear Jeff Davis, You are correct that none of us has really good handle on carbon based energy supplies. The nuttiness is the simultaneous belief that we are past peak carbon and CO2 based global warming will stay a problem. If we truly are past peak carbon, we will see 200-300$ a barrel oil and massive reductions in it use. Just like we saw with 140 per barrel.
I do look forward to the nuttiness that it as a random clumping of La Ninas + snow reflection feedback effects that is causing the the global temperature flattening, but it was NOT a cluster of el Nino's and snow/ice feedback effects that caused the upsurge in warming.
The nuttiness is that when the fever pitch of battle is such that we stop thinking.
The the certain people who want oil company executives tried for crimes against humanity. Maybe having them tried for collusion, fraud, violation of federal contracts, influence peddling, bribery, and/or racketeering would be a better first option. Especially since they may actually be guilty of some of those crimes and misdemeanors. When the main people who could be instrumental in pushing for such rational approaches start sounding a little deranged (and in some cases more than a little deranged) hope is lost as few prosecutors want to go to court with a unreliable witness.

A Winter 2017-2018 Kids' Indie Next List Selection
"In a vividly dark and fully imagined universe where special abilities are feared unless they can be strictly controlled and labeled, Meyer celebrates and subverts popular superhero tropes while mining the gray area between malevolence and virtue. Third-person narration builds suspense as it shifts between Nova and Adrian, a Renegade with his own secrets; the worldbuilding details and many combat sequences will captivate devotees of superhero comics. Beyond the capes and masks is a strikingly grounded story of star-crossed would-be lovers, deception, and the recognition that most of humanity exists between the extremes of good and evil."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Tackles a familiar genre in a brand new way."--Hypable.com
"A fully realized new world with compelling characters and just enough edge-of-your-seat action to rival the biggest on-screen adaptation?."--Bustle
"Exciting...perfect for your Fall #TBR list."--PopSugar.com
"Even reluctant fans of hero fantasies will fall for the smart plot and wonderful world-building. Prepare to fangirl."--Justine Magazine
"Meyer delivers a balance between intricate world-building and fast-paced action sequences. Nova's childhood tragedy will draw sympathy from readers as they watch her integrate into the group of Renegades in order to seek vengeance. Back-stabbing, plot twists, and hidden agendas will have readers turning pages in an attempt to discover the truth."--School Library Journal
"Meyer smartly refrains from focusing totally on Adrian and Nova's potential romance and instead fleshes the characters out as separate individuals with flaws and strengths, regrets and desires. ...The world is exceptionally well crafted, particularly the complex backstory of the rise of prodigies among humans, and the secondary cast of villains and heroes could give Marvel and DC a run for their money. There's a lot going on here besides cool names and superpowers, and the book earns both its hefty page count and its expected sequel."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Recommended

Society and companies benefit from an attractive and lively cultural scene. We believe it is our duty to the public and our employees to provide targeted support to help nourish the diversity of these cultural offerings. This applies in particular to the regions in which our facilities are located.
If we decide to offer support in the form of manpower or finance, we always seek a long-term cooperation over many years. We attach great importance to active, sustainable partnerships where we can contribute our special expertise and experience and which offer a good fit with our company history or corporate values.
Sport conveys great emotions and creates memorable moments and experiences. Sport stands for motivation and inspiration, as well as for dynamism, liveliness and an enjoyment of life. Just like Melitta.
Moreover, sport conveys values that we also stand for: team spirit, fairness, passion, tradition, commitment, success. For this reason, Melitta has long been closely involved with sport and supports both recreational and competitive sports at a regional and international level.
At the regional level, we have close ties with the players of our local handball team GWD Minden. We support both the club's first division team and its other men's and youth teams. We also sponsor the Melitta Eight, whose men's and women's teams both compete in Germany's top-flight rowing leagues. A further regional partner is the German second division team Arminia Bielefeld. Of outstanding international significance for us is our cooperation with the UK-based soccer team Manchester United. In 2017, we signed an extensive partnership agreement with the Premier League's record champions which goes far beyond classic sponsorship.
Melitta has been working together with the well-known English soccer club Manchester United since 2017. The partnership focuses on those special moments which both soccer matches and freshly brewed coffee generate and comprises a wide variety of joint activities. The cooperation goes far beyond classic sports sponsoring.
Melitta's role in the partnership is to secure the bean-to-cup provision of coffee in the stadium and on the training ground. At Old Trafford, lovingly referred to by fans as the "Theatre of Dreams", Melitta serves visitors via "Red Café Supported by Melitta". All VIP boxes are equipped with fully automatic Melitta® Caffeo Barista® machines.
The multi-year cooperation agreement goes well beyond classic sponsorship: joint promotion campaigns are as much a part of the partnership as cooperation on social media events, advertising activities and events.
No other club fascinates as many people around the world as Manchester United. With its rich tradition, the record English league champion stands for exceptional performance, inspiration, and a love of life. It stands for success, hard work and passion. And as of 2017, it also stands for outstanding coffee enjoyment throughout the stadium: the legendary Old Trafford.

PhDs and Doctoral Degrees >
Doctor of Philosophy >
Ramesh Kaipa
'The PhD programme at UC is one of the premier programmes in the Asia-Pacific region for the field...'
PhD in Speech and Language Sciences
Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State University, USA
Having taken up the post of Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University, Ramesh looks back with pride at his time at UC, where he gained his PhD.
'The PhD programme in Speech and Language Sciences at UC is one of the premier programmes in the Asia-Pacific region for the field of communication disorders,' he says.
'Completing a PhD requires dedication and perseverance, and devotion of time, but at the end I would say it is worth it – and the opportunities are plentiful.'
Ramesh's research investigated Motor Speech Disorders, which occur when there are abnormalities of the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system. These can often be improved with the application of Principles of Motor Learning (PMLs), and Ramesh looked at the efficacy of four PMLs in learning novel speech skills among patients with Parkinson's disease. He hopes the research might be used to develop evidence-based protocols for speech therapy.
'I enjoy the fact that my field is clinically orientated, and the research I do can be applied in clinical settings. I direct the Motor Speech Lab in the Department of Communication Sciences at Oklahoma State University, most of the research in this lab aims at investigating how healthy individuals as well as clinical population learn/re-learn new speech skills'.
Meanwhile, a typical day as Assistant Professor involves 'teaching one or two courses, attending meetings related to my department or college and overseeing research projects.' Ramesh has also assumed the role of interim program director in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Oklahoma State University.
Ramesh has been recently awarded the College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Teaching Award for his contributions to teaching in the College of Arts and Sciences at Oklahoma State University. While at UC, he won the Research Excellence Award from the New Zealand Speech Therapists' Association.
As an international student, Ramesh says he found studying at UC an enjoyable experience. Ramesh's wife, Roha, is also a Speech Language Pathologist and holds a Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. The couple got married soon after Ramesh had finished his PhD at UC, and relocated to USA. They are keen table tennis and badminton players, and they also love to travel and explore new places.
'I enjoyed being close to so much scenic beauty while in Christchurch, and the University's location within the city proved ideal for my lifestyle.
'The people of New Zealand, and at UC, are very friendly and warm. The resources available at the University, the support from organisations like the Postgraduate Students' Association, and all the social events made my study at the UC very stimulating and enjoyable.'
'I had a fabulous supervisory team – Professor Michael Robb, Dr. Maggie Lee Huckabee, and Professor Richard Jones – who always made sure that I was on the right track, and I am very thankful to them for supporting me throughout. I would definitely recommend UC to someone who is planning to pursue a PhD.'

You could be rolling in dough if you find one of these special dishes.
You've definitely seen those old-fashioned Pyrex dishes somewhere. The brightly hued containers — often decorated with floral motifs — can be found at yard sales, grandparents' homes or even your own kitchen cupboard.
Maybe you only use them for cooking that special stuffing or dressing to serve with the turkey on Thanksgiving ... or maybe they're just collecting dust.
Before you decide to donate or toss any of that outdated glassware, think twice: Vintage Pyrex sets have sold for up to $1,800 online. Even single bowls have gone for a whopping $900 and this "Foulard Pyrex mug" on Etsy is up for sale at $800.
Think you're sitting on a vintage Pyrex gold mine? Look out for opaque, brightly colored pieces that often feature floral or geometric designs.
While you're home for the holidays and everyone else is watching football, consider going through the cupboards to see if you can discover any hidden Pyrex treasures.
Social media is flush with posts from Pyrex enthusiasts, too.
Vintage Pyrex collectors are currently sharing their glassware hauls, swaps and purchases on dozens of Pyrex Facebook groups. The hashtag #pyrexjunkie on Instagram reveals over 23,000 posts from the glassware aficionados.
Between avid collectors and other home cooks, the century-old Pyrex brand is still beloved by many.
Pyrex can go in the fridge, freezer, oven, and stove top. I haven't had any break, despite dropping them occasionally. Love it!
So why is this American dishware so coveted? Vintage Pyrex has been hailed for its durability and longevity. Once Pyrex changed its formula to soda-lime, instead of the arguably stronger borosilicate, discontinued Pyrex dishes made with the original glass formula became even more valuable.
Today, pieces made between 1915 and the late 1970s are sought out by thousands of Pyrex collectors. Vintage Pyrex is so special that it's even made it into the Corning Museum of Glass.
So, check your cupboards for that vintage dishware — you might be sitting on a fortune!

Temperatures in plates subjected to a recovery temperature varying linearly with time.
ESDU 89023 treats the transient situation of the variation of the temperature distribution through a thick plate insulated on one side when the aerodynamic heating temperature on the other side is changing, from an initially constant temperature condition, linearly with time. Curves are given that allow the temperature change from the initial constant temperature condition to be obtained at both surfaces and at three surfaces at equal +intervals through the plate. The method can be applied also when there is a thin insulating layer at the heated face. A fully worked example illustrates the use of the method.

A Raid on the NSW Op-shops.
This weekend we have a funny thing happen. In Canberra we get the Monday off as a public holiday, but for NSW it's another normal working day.
For Taph and me this means a chance to raid the ops-shops of NSW on a normal working day. The question is where we will go.
We can go South and do Queanbeyan, Cooma, Nimmitabel, and then track back to Adaminaby?
We can go North and do Goulburn, Moss Vale, Bowral and Mittagong?
We were saving Yass, Harden, Young and Boorowa for later in the year. ideally that would be during the cherry season.
With so many options what should we do?
Also we need your help. If you know of any little shops in or near these towns that have not been reviewed here, then let us know.


Case workers and other practitioners in the welfare system benefit from keeping abreast of new research and clinical approaches when working with clients. One such method that has been around for decades but has only recently been popularized in the field of self-sufficiency is motivational interviewing. Developed in the 1980s by clinical psychologists William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick, motivational interviewing was created as an approach to behavioral change particularly for individuals dealing with substance use disorders. Compared with the more traditional dynamic of counselor-patient relationships, which commonly features an expert counselor educating or persuading a less-informed client, motivational interviewing occurs in the context of a partnership where client autonomy is the foundation. Together, the counselor and client engage in a collaborative conversation about identifying problems and solutions, particularly by focusing on barriers to change that are preventing progress toward the client's goals. Rather than imposing change externally, motivational interviewing seeks to elicit and strengthen an individual's intrinsic motivation for change.
Since its initial development in substance abuse treatment spaces, motivational interviewing has proven to be an effective approach for facilitating productive change in various client contexts. With respect to self-sufficiency, studies of TANF-eligible client outcomes have shown that motivational interviewing is a valuable addition to case worker interventions. For example, a six-month follow-up evaluation of 322 randomly selected TANF-eligible clients participating in Kentucky's Targeted Assessment Program (TAP), which combines motivational interviewing, holistic assessment and strengths-based case management, found medium-to-strong decreases in self-reported barriers to self-sufficiency. These included barriers related to physical health (at six-month follow-up the percentage of participants who had seen a doctor in the previous 12 months decreased, as did the percentage of participants who wanted to see a doctor but reported being unable to), mental health (feeling badly about oneself, having thoughts of self-harm, and feeling worried or anxious), substance use, and intimate partner violence. Additionally, TAP participants reported lower work difficulty and higher employment rates at the time of follow-up.
Another study found a connection between motivational interviewing and veterans' self-sufficiency. Eighty-four veterans who had psychiatric disorders and had applied for service-connected compensation were assigned to either a control condition, where they received an orientation to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs health care system and services, or an experimental condition, where they received four 50-minute sessions of individual counseling that followed a motivational interviewing framework. At a six-month follow up, veterans in the experimental group reported significantly more days of paid employment compared with participants in the control group. This suggests that motivational interviewing may reduce barriers to employment that are associated with disability payments for psychiatric disorders.
The TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project: Innovative strategies for serving TANF recipients with disabilities: This report summarized findings from three county-level initiatives that sought to improve services for TANF participants with disabilities.
Beyond behavior: Eliciting broader change with motivational interviewing: This case study described the role of motivational interviewing in one client's recovery from frequent engagement in risky behaviors.
Motivational interviewing and social work practice: This article discussed the seven elements of the motivational interviewing "spirit," and explored ways that motivational interviewing is valuable for social workers who may have limited resources.

From Thomas Jefferson to Robert Bolling and Others, 12 April 1781
To Robert Bolling and Others
In Council April 12. 1781.
Reasons to believe that the enemy intend a movement across the Country towards Carolina have induced Majr. General Baron Steuben to desire anxiously to have made up of a sudden a body of 200 cavalry. It is probable they will not be wanting a fortnight, but in any event they shall be discharged at the end of one month from their rendezvousing at Petersburg. Supposing it would be in your power to raise a number suddenly I take the liberty of troubling you as I do several other Gentlemen with the proposition. It will be necessary for the troopers to mount and equip themselves. Some good Swords it will be in our power to furnish and all of them with a shorter kind. So that the want of that article need not keep them from the field. Their horses and accoutrements shall be ensured by the public against every thing but negligence, and the service shall be counted in lieu of a tour of Militia duty. We wish them to rendezvous as they are raised at Petersburg, as the call, should it happen, will happen in a few days. The Commands shall be arranged at the rendezvous. For so short a service it is hoped that no difficulties will arise on that head.
I am with great respect Sir Your mo. ob. Servt.,
Th: Jefferson
RC (DNA: RG 15, Revolutionary War Pension Files); in a clerk's hand, signed by TJ and with his notation at foot of first page: "Capt. Robt. Bolling." FC (Vi); at head of text: "Colo. Meade, Colo. Griffin, Colo. Mosby, Mr. Smith, Colo. Goode, Colo. Pleasants, Mr. Bolling, Colo. Southall, & Colo. Dixon."
On 12 Apr. the Council took under consideration Steuben's representation of the "necessity of strengthening our army below" and also his "anxious desire to have made up of a sudden two hundred Cavalry." Being "very unwilling to harass the Militia more than shall be absolutely unavoidable," the Council advised TJ to write to all county lieutenants requiring recruiting officers (those appointed in consequence of TJ's letter to the county lieutenants of 30 Mch.) to receive "the Delinquents of whatever denomination who have been sentenced to serve in the army, and march them to Richmond and Williamsburg without delay." At the same time the Council advised TJ "to write to Colo. Everard Meade and some other gentlemen of activity and influence requesting them to raise a body of volunteer Cavalry agreeable to the Baron's request" (Va. Council Jour. description begins Journals of the Council of the State of Virginia, ed. H. R. McIlwaine description ends , ii, 333). Steuben was in Richmond on Wednesday, 11 Apr. 1781, and attended Council that day. At any rate several important decisions were taken at this time and it is possible that all were done at Steuben's insistence, as one undoubtedly was: (1) the attempt to raise an emergency body of cavalry; (2) the renewal of efforts to complete the defenses at Hood's; (3) the order to enforce the law against militia delinquents; and (4) the removal of the suspension of the draft law in those counties whose militia were not in the field (see TJ to Steuben, 19 Apr. 1781).

A short-term mission trip is a group of Christians traveling to another location for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many short-term mission trips will participate in humanitarian aid also. For the purpose of this blog, I will be referring to mission trips that are 1-2 weeks in length and for people that are 55 and older. Short-term mission trips can be for 1 to 2 years and for any age. They can also be close to home or in any foreign country. The participants can ... Read More about What is a short-term Mission trip?


Have you ever seen a sea creature than can flash like a disco strobe light over its ENTIRE BODY?
Watch these kings of camouflage in action. Of course they can blend in with their surroundings to trap prey but when they DON'T want to blend, such as when they mate or when they want to "mesmerize" their prey, they can put on quite a show!
It turns out they are extremely intelligent too. This drives scientists up a wall because a short lived creature such as this one doesn't seem to have had the time to "evolve" such high order thinking. This creature, as you will see above. has demonstrated the ability to learn quite quickly and adjust its behavior accordingly..
I AGREE that this wonder of the ocean, the cuttlefish, certainly DID NOT have time to "evolve".
There is even a teeny tiny species of cuttlefish that puts on a show ALL the time instead of trying to hide. Scientists discovered why it is so seemingly fearless. It's quite pretty too. Enjoy the show!

The snow leopard's ability to blend in with its surroundings is legendary. It even earned the cat its most famous nickname, Ghost of the Mountain.

The Danger in Worldliness
David Wilkerson (1931-2011)
Many voices in the church today say Christians must show a new kind of love. They are talking about a love in which biblical truth must bend with the times. According to their gospel, no personal changes are necessary when one accepts Christ. Indeed, no repentance is needed. Rather, the goal in presenting this gospel is simply to break down any barrier that could be considered a stumbling block to a person's acceptance of Christ.
Is it possible that we as Christians have allowed the fullness of Christ's light to become partly darkened? Jesus warned about the danger of allowing our light to become darkness. "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going" (John 12:35). According to Jesus, any desire for worldly acceptance causes our light to darken.
You can easily find acceptance in the world. People will call you friend, admire you, even love the kind of gospel you preach. How? It happens when you allow the ways of the world to seep into your soul. You can cast off the reproach of Christ, convincing yourself you can mix with darkness and still be a light to the world. But it does not work!
At the Last Supper, Christ told his disciples, "A new commandment I give to you" (John 13:34). This new commandment was not about methods of evangelism. He had already told him they were to go into all the world preaching the gospel and assured them they would need the Holy Spirit's help to fulfill that command. So what was this new commandment? Jesus told them, "As I have loved you … also love one another" (13:34).
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (13:35). Our love for one another in the church must be demonstrated in our deeds; only love in action will get the attention of a lost generation. I encourage you to ask the Lord for a baptism of love so that you can minister to your Christian brothers and sisters and also bring others to him.

A Guest Post by Eva Polak.
Attending a photography workshop is the best way to learn new skills. Not only will it improve your technique and expand your knowledge, it will also expose you to a range of interesting subjects to shoot and give you an opportunity to meet and have fun with like-minded people.
Whether you decide to go on a tour or a workshop, following these few simple guidelines will help you to get the most out of your experience.
Think about why you want to attend and what you would like to get out of the workshop. Make sure the workshop matches your interests and skills. Be realistic. Even the most intense workshop can't teach you everything you will ever need to know about photography.
If you like to photograph nature, a workshop in a attractive location would be a good choice. Not only will you get the kind of images you like, but you will also meet people who prefer the type of photography that you do.
Prepare a list of the most important questions you'd like answered while you are at the workshop. It's easier to forget things when you are rushed or excited.
Ask the instructor about any specific recommendations that will help you to prepare for the particular subject to be covered. The more you can learn before the workshop the more you will get out of it.
Make sure that your equipment is in a good working order. There is nothing worse than being in the field and having your equipment malfunction.
Ensure that you have spare batteries and enough disk space.
If you read your camera or other equipment manual in advance of the workshop and practice until you feel confident about how to use it, you can spend your workshop time doing what you really want to do – learning to take great photos!
Work hard to get the most out of your time. Take your own initiative.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Your teacher is there to assist you. If you are not comfortable asking in the group ask your instructor in private.
Use this time to practice using new techniques and experimenting rather than trying to produce great photos. Great photography is about being there at the right time and that may not coincide with the timing of the workshop.
Participate in each exercise fully and enthusiastically. Accept feedback with an open mind. The instructor may see some problems with your technique and approach and is there to help you. The purpose in going to a workshop is to expose yourself to new ideas.. Try it, it might work and you might like it. It's all about an attitude.
You may learn as much from other students as you do from the instructor. Participate in discussions, share information and your own experience. Listen to the advice being given to others. Pick up as much as you can.
Take time to reflect upon your workshop experience. Did you accomplish your goals? If not, why not? What would you do differently next time? Write all this down so you don't forget it. Learn from your mistakes.
Practicing new techniques, approaches, or ways of thinking could be a crucial element to the success of your workshop experience.
Obtain additional information about how you can reinforce what you leaned in the workshop.
Keep in touch with your instructor and fellow participants.
You may develop some great friendships along the way.

Oh, and excellence on the article by the way!
I agree with the posting above. Never buy new equipment unless it's going to make you money.
great article. Its really helpful and thanks for sharing.
Another good tip is to NOT buy any new equipment just for a workshop. There's a good chance you may find out it's not something you need. I would even say hold off on buying anything until the workshop, but write down a few products you've had your eye on and ask if they think it might be good for your type of photography.
a. What is the photographer to student ratio? Sometimes a high ratio can be ok, but you are going to get less attention when its 15 students to 1 teacher, if they have assistants how qualified are they?
b. Will the workshop leader be shooting his own photos or teachign exclusively? When they are trying to get their own shots, they will pay much less attention to you sometimes NO attention to you. If you are paying somebody a significant amount of money, you should be their priority, not getting new shots.
c. What physical shape do I need to be for your workshop. if you will be hiking 5 miles to a location and you are not in shape to do it, you don't learn much when you are exhausted.
d. What is their policy on late arrivers, if you are scheduled for a sunrise shoot and someone is not there on time, do you wait for them causing everyone else in the class to miss the shots?
e. Do they have the appropriate permits for wherever you are shooting? Unless this is a known guerrilla shoot, the instructor should have permits. I once took a workshop in a national park, where the instructor didn't have the permits, we were kicked out.
f. Are there additional fees that are not included? Portrait workshops frequently ask you to pay a model for a model release rather than having that included. Parks may have enterance fees and these are frequently not included.
g. if you are goign to travel to a workshop and spend alot of money, ask the instructor if you can email some previous participants. Although they will always give you people who they think will be positive, you can learn alot from them.
Someone really needs to create a website with workshops reviews, because this is becoming a big business and photographers sometimes put out alot of money to participate. On the other hand, there are alot of meetup groups and local photography clubs that put on great free experiences too.
Excellent article, as usual. I would add that it is a good idea to show the instructor any additional techniques that you may know and that they were previously unaware of.
As someone that does workshops quite often I would add another tip in that you should attempt to use what you have learned as soon as possible. Nothing worse than waiting a few weeks and then not being able to remember the tips. In fact, we always add a hands-on portion during and especially afterwards that can go on for several hours after the formal workshop is done.
i've been wanting to attend a workshop for some time now. this gives me the needed boost to do so soon! thank u.
You have very good points here. Have never attended a photography workshop before. On a self-learning mode at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
I think it's definitely a good idea to have a list of questions ready for any workshop, and most definitely a good idea to be an active participant. You will often find the squeaky wheel gets the grease and you make get more direct time with the leader of the workshop.
