This real-life documentary from director Rokhsareh Ghaemmaghami follows the every-day life of Afghan refugee Sonita Alizadeh; now living in Iran.
She faces the oppressive traditions of her culture that have been imposed on her by her family. She dreams of a different life and a career as a rap singer; quite opposed to what is expected of her.
There is no set story-line here and the film allows Sonita to tell her own story. It is refreshing to not have the footage broken up with talking-heads however these long, drawn-out sections can at times lose the pace. Where there are interview style sections these are very in-formal and Sonita responds in typical stand-offish teenager style.
Shot mostly unobtrusively and in almost fully ‘fly-on-the-wall’ style; the film allows the subject to speak for herself and lets us into her world. The story is made perhaps even more powerful and culturally significant not only because it features a female at the centre but also it was shot by a female director.


While Boston-based guitarist Ron Bosse was inspired to begin his six-string journey while listening to classic rock, he became a jazz player and has been active for decades.
“The first instrument I learned was saxophone, in fourth grade,” he recently recalled to VG. “When I got to high school, I joined the jazz band as a saxophonist, which was right around the time I also started to play guitar. After about two years, I started playing guitar in the jazz band, so my first real experience playing guitar in a band was doing jazz.”
Not surprisingly, Bosse is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, and he ventured into the business of music by founding the Bosse School of Music, and Bosse Studios.
While expressing admiration for players such as Lee Ritenour and Mike Stern, he said, “For me, it’s all about the two Pats – Metheny and Martino. From Metheny, I get a certain way of moving around the neck from a technical perspective; he has this way of using hammer-on and pull-offs when playing lines that give him a very fluid, horn-like approach. From Martino, I get a type of feel and an approach to soloing. Simply put, Martino swings harder than any guitarist I’ve ever heard.”
Bosse’s recent album, Burning Room Only, leans heavily on the groove-jazz mode with a dollop of fusion. For the first time in his career, he opted for a collaborative focus.
“I’ve been a highly active composer since being a student at Berklee,” he detailed. “Prior to recording Burning Room Only, all the jazz songs I’d written were composed by me alone. For the new album, however, I wrote all the songs with Grammy-winning producer and keyboard player Jeff Lorber. I’ve found the approach to be extremely rewarding and feel that collaboration can yield an end result that’s more unique than just going about it alone.”
While there’s ample improvised soloing on the album, listeners will also notice a lot of unison playing, as Bosse’s guitar goes one-on-one with saxophone, keyboards, and a horn section.
“Compositionally, I think you’d lose the punch of the lines if they were harmonized,” he said. “The unison approach tends to be more effective and also helps establish the melody better for the listener.”
Many of the songs feature dazzling, almost “bubbling” double-time riffs.
“Those lines use specific techniques I’ve spent a great deal of time working on,” Bosse explained. “Having good technique is especially important to me, and I’ve studied a lot of burning players from a variety of genres, including John Petrucci, Al Di Meola, Joe Bonamassa, and Eddie Van Halen.”
Bosse used his ’89 Gibson ES-347 almost exclusively on Burning Room Only.
“I’ve been playing it my entire career,” he said. “My previous guitar, which my dad bought me, was a Les Paul Custom. When I started gravitating to jazz, I wanted to get a semi-hollow because I was a big fan of John Scofield. Only problem was I wanted the exact feel of the Les Paul Custom – I absolutely did not want an ES-335. I told the store owner what I was hoping to find, and he said, ‘The ES-347 is exactly what you’re looking for!’
“It’s got great, low action, which I love, and gets a beautiful clean sound. I always play the neck pickup to get a fatter, more-rounded tone, and I’ll typically set the Tone control at three to give it a hint of brightness, but also to preserve the slightly darker tone I love.”
A sunburst Stratocaster figured slightly into the mix.
“My Strat is great for getting a searing, distorted rock sound and for clean rhythm parts. I used it for some rhythm parts on the album, though it was minimal.”
After trying several amps for the record, he discovered, “The approach that gave me the cleanest possible sound was to go direct into my Apogee Symphony preamps. I added a long-hall reverb and stereo delay, and it sounded great. The only exception is on ‘Strutter,’ where I played the solo through one of my Orange amps, and it was perfect for that.”
Bosse and Lorber have written four songs for a follow-up album. Other plans include touring and live videos.

Is this really fair when a week previous to this gruesome event, a grandfather was stabbed on the street on his way back from evening prayers at his local mosque because of his religion and it was labelled as ‘a hate crime’?
The world we have live in since the 9/11 attacks AKA ‘the age of terror’ is apparently a dramatically different place, a milder version of Orwell’s 1984 with increased security and decreased civil rights and constant war. However, has ‘War on Terror’, been successful in counteracting terrorism? I would argue that it has not been a success and has in fact had the opposite effect by increasing global terrorism by inflaming an anti-American and British sentiment across the Middle East and beyond.
There are vast variations between definitions of the term ‘terrorism’. According to John Pilger the United States government have infringed their own definition of terrorism more than any other state or organisation and the UK government isn’t far behind.
Terrorism is a term with no agreed definition among governments and academic analysts. But if such actions are carried out on behalf of a widely approved cause then the term ‘terrorism’ is usually avoided and something more friendly is substituted. As Noam Chomsky states ‘one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter.’ According to Tamir Bar-On and Howard Goldstein in the absence of a worldwide consensus definition of terrorism, the term terrorism has today become a political tool used for propaganda purposes by either state or non-state actors such as with the new breed of ‘Eco-terrorists’ i.e. Radical Environmental Groups. Without this clarity, the concept of a ‘war on terror’ is obscure and unclear. Edward Herman focuses on this point claiming that the core basis of a ‘war’ on ‘terror’ itself is a political problem as the definition of ‘terror’ is selectively and loosely applied and the label ‘terrorism’ is an abstract concept with no objective universal definition.
The War in Afghanistan was the first stage of the US and UK-led ‘War on Terror’. Osama Bin Laden was held responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Al-Qaeda at the time of the attack was considered by most experts to be a small non-state operation, loosely sprawled across the globe and with, at most, a few thousand operatives. It is clear that such a small and diffuse operation called for an anti-crime and intelligence response, not a war. According to Aiden Hehir’s research in 2007, al-Qaeda groups are now found in 24 states across the globe including the USA and the UK. This reveals that since the ‘War on Terror’ began, this terrorist organisation has spread and grown. ‘The war on Afghanistan, judged purely as an anti-terrorist exercise, has been the worst failure of all.’ (Mahajan). This war has increased political problems; Afghanistan is less stable than it was before the war and al-Qaeda are arguably stronger, despite the capture and death of Osama Bin Laden. Afghan citizens are getting caught in the crossfire which is giving the US and UK bad press, and there is an increase in the intensity of US and UK soldiers killed with no foreseeable end to this conflict. The economic and social state of Afghanistan is deteriorating with not enough funds invested in ‘nation-building’ and reconstruction.
The Iraq Invasion of 2003 was also an important component to the ‘war on terror’ with much opposition. Instead of combating terrorism the war in Iraq has inflamed anti-Americanism across the Middle East, it’s increased the number of people who are willing to die to kill Americans, it created greater sympathy for terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. In regard to dealing with rogue states it has driven the Syrians, the Iranians and Hezbollah closer together. Syria and Iran are likely to continue supporting Hezbollah, and moreover Iran will probably continue to pursue nuclear weapons, they would be foolish not to given the way the US has been behaving and talking about Iran itself.
According to Mearshiemer and Walt:
“We didn’t make the war in Iraq any better, Iraq as you well know is dominated by Shi’a, and those Shi’a in Iraq including the ruling elites are deeply committed or at least have a powerful allegiance to those Shi’a who compromise Hezbollah. So if anything we have angered our allies in Iraq and that’s definitely not going to make a bad situation better.”
The United Kingdom and United States’ policies have failed in their efforts to combat terrorism through war and have increased the likelihood of repeat attacks. The term ‘war on terror’ in itself is a problem as it is an unclear and even abstract concept. Both invasions have been heavily and widely criticised from all angles but the consensus is that these separate wars aimed at counteracting terrorism and increasing international security have caused many complex political problems for themselves and for Iraq and Afghanistan.

CCTV Cameras – the Encroachment into Every day Life
There is CCTV technology lurking virtually almost everywhere today, specially in the big cities this sort of as New York Metropolis. There are individuals who stage on and off train platforms throughout hurry hour at Pennsylvania Station and Grand Central station in New York City daily. These commuters are like typical visitor on Shut Circuit Television ติดตั้งกล้องวงจรปิด hikvision.
Right after 9/eleven the use of CCTV in community areas has enhanced substantially. Numerous people are quite anxious about this form of surveillance due to the fact they come to feel that it is a violation of kinds privacy. Authorities argue that surveillance is helpful because it aids defend individuals in opposition to crimes and terrorism.
CCTV or (Closed-circuit tv), is a team of surveillance cameras generating video surveillance. This form of surveillance is various from the common broadcast television. All of it is in fact connected through cables.
CCTV is used at places where there is an enhanced need to have for stability. Financial institutions, airports and authorities properties are illustrations of high protection areas. CCTV is also utilized in the navy.
CCTV is not a new engineering it has been about for decades. CCTV was really produced as a result of the IRA bombings that took location in the United Kingdom. There are statements that CCTV technological innovation has reduced criminal offense because criminals now know that they are being viewed by the authorities.
At one time CCTV was created to increase the stability steps at monetary institutions. Today this surveillance technology is a way of existence, guarding properties, firms and culture in standard. Since CCTV has become common, a homeowner can effortlessly have this method put in in their house. This kind of surveillance is even employed in eating places, grocery stores, clothing stores and daycare facilities.
Surveillance cameras have also been set up in taxi cabs in different components of the country, to quit crime acts against taxi drivers. Given that this technological innovation has elevated, numerous criminals and most terrorist have been on their p’s and q’s. More and a lot more citizens are turning out to be used to the concept of being below the protective eye of surveillance engineering.
The unanswered query stays of specifically how helpful CCTV surveillance in fact is. Soon after all, there are no immediate figures of crimes that never took place. However, irrespective of the numerous questions that nonetheless overhang the use of CCTV cameras, the simple fact continues to be that they are ever more becoming a portion of every day life in modern society.

Research from Informa Telecoms & Media suggests the financial crisis made an impact on the global mobile sector during the second half of 2008. The slowdown in the growth of global mobile subscriptions and the device market is likely to become more pronounced in 2009.
The world's mobile subscription market grew by 18.5% year-on-year in 2008 (down from 22.5% growth in 2007) and is set to increase by just 12.7% this year, although Informa does note that this reduction in growth is partly due to the effect of natural market development, particularly in Western Europe and US.
The 7% fall in the handset replacement market in 2008 is of greater concern. The world's developed markets will be hit especially hard with the total device market in Western Europe set to contract by 13% in 2009, and it could take as long as three years for the device market to get back to 2008 sales levels.
"The handset market is facing a difficult period with the average replacement cycle likely to increase by six to eight months in 2009, which would result in a 5% year-on-year decline in the number of total devices sold globally to 1.16 billion," explains Nidhir Maudgalya senior forecasting analyst at Informa,.
"And things could get worse, as depending on the extent of the deterioration of global macroeconomic conditions, the year-on-year fall in the number of total devices sold could rise to 10% with replacement cycles increasing to up to 12 months."
Informa research suggests there is evidence of a strong regional divide on the impact of the economic downturn. New subscriptions in the emerging markets of Africa and south Asia continue to drive growth and the mobile device market should remain resilient, albeit with users buying basic and low feature handsets.
"India became the world's largest market in terms of net additions in 2008 for the first time with 102 million new mobile subscriptions over the 12 months, ahead of China," notes Nick Jotischky, principal analyst for emerging markets at Informa.
Jotischky warns those investors looking to escape the saturation of developed markets saying, "India and other emerging markets have their own difficulties as mobile operators continue to work out how they can deliver profitability in the face of increasingly brutal competition."
Senior analyst at Informa Dario Talmesio sums up, "Contingency plans are being prepared for the year ahead with many operators preparing to lower cost bases and downsize their business. Handset and network vendors will be affected more than mobile operators in the first instance as the number of consumers choosing not to upgrade devices will increase.
"This will be an indirect hit on network investments as growth in data usage is not as sustained as expected leading to less-than-expected pressure on networks and operators electing not to upgrade networks."

What is DMD?
Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a data-driven method used to analyze and extract dynamic behavior from high-dimensional data sets. It is a powerful tool for studying fluid dynamics, image processing, and other complex systems. DMD is based on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of a data matrix, and it provides a low-dimensional approximation of the original system.
This article will explain the key concepts behind DMD, including SVD and other related techniques, and provide examples of how it can be used in different applications.
The study of complex systems often requires the analysis of high-dimensional data. For example, in fluid dynamics, researchers may collect data on the velocity field of a fluid over time. This data is typically represented as a matrix, where the rows correspond to spatial locations and the columns correspond to time steps. However, analyzing such high-dimensional data sets is challenging. One approach is to use DMD, which extracts low-dimensional models of the data by identifying the underlying dynamic behavior. This technique can be used to extract coherent spatiotemporal patterns from noisy or incomplete data, and it can provide insight into the underlying dynamics of a system. DMD has been successfully applied in various fields, including fluid dynamics, neuroscience, and epidemiology, among others.
Now, let's see the mathematics behind it.
Assume that X1 captured at time t and X2 is captured at time t + ∆t.
DMD computes the leading eigendecomposition of the linear operator which maps to these two matrices X1 and X2 as given below
Now, to calculate the best fit value for the linear operator A, the pseudo inverse of X1 is taken as
where † is the pseudo-inverse operation. But, in a real-world scenario, n can take a very large dimension and hence A will be much larger to compute. Therefore this does not seem to be an optimal solution to proceed further. Thus we need a smaller matrix that would be easy and comfortable to compute and it should also capture the maximum possible characteristics of A.To obtain the approximation of A with the lower dimensions (named as A'), the number of modes for the analyses of data matrices is truncated by DMD.
In the first step of the DMD algorithm, the SVD of X1 is computed as follows.
Taking the inverse on both sides results as follows
Equation 7 is obtained from 4 and 6.
The dimension of A is relatively high. This leads to the involvement of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). This is a statistical method that helps in obtaining low-dimensional abstraction for high-dimensional data. Hence, we produce A' for ease of computation. Here, A and A' are similar matrices. Both the matrices will have the same eigenvalues and also the same number of eigenvectors. With this information, it is possible to compute the similarity transformation matrix A' as follows
We can prove that both A and A' have same eigen values by taking the eigendecomposition of A',
From equation 8 and 10,
W contains (n−1) columns where all of them represent the eigenvectors of A and Λ is the diagonal matrix with (n−1) entries which are the eigenvalues of A.
Applications of it, for instance:
Fluid Dynamics: In order to extract coherent structures from flow fields, such as vortices and eddies, and to examine their temporal and spatial evolution, DMD is frequently employed in fluid dynamics.
Aerospace: DMD is used in the aerospace sector to evaluate and improve the aerodynamics of aeroplanes and spacecraft, including the development of wing forms and control surfaces.
Medical Imaging: DMD can be used to examine MRI scan data and other types of medical imaging data to look for patterns that might point to disease.
Robotics: To recognise and follow the motion of objects, forecast their future motion, and enhance control methods, DMD is used in robotics.
Machine Learning: DMD can be used as a pre-processing step for machine learning algorithms to extract significant features from high-dimensional data, lowering the complexity of the input data and enhancing the precision of the machine learning model.
Climate research: DMD is used in climate research to analyse the data and spot patterns and trends. The temporal variations in different spatial points can be correlated with DMD.
In conclusion of this article at OpenGenus, Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) has become a potent mathematical tool with a variety of uses in numerous disciplines. By locating underlying patterns and dynamics, DMD offers insightful information into complex systems, from fluid dynamics and structural vibrations to neuroscience and data processing. DMD is anticipated to play an increasingly significant role in expanding our understanding of complex systems and contributing to a variety of practical applications as a result of continuous developments in computational techniques and machine learning. It is obvious that DMD has the potential to fundamentally alter how we approach and resolve complicated challenges in a variety of domains as research in this area continues to advance.

Purpose/Objectives: To examine the effects of spirituality (meaning in life and prayer) on a sense of well-being among women who have had breast cancer.
Design: Descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional.
Setting: Rural and urban communities in central Texas.
Sample: Convenience sample of 84 women, 34-80 years of age diagnosed less than one year previously (36%), within the previous one to five years (38%), and more than five years previously (26%).
Methods: The study approach consisted of completing a questionnaire assessing personal and cancer characteristics, aspects of spirituality (meaning in life and prayer), and physical and psychological responses to breast cancer.
Main Research Variables: Meaning in life, prayer, and physical and psychological responses to breast cancer.
Findings: Meaning in life was positively related to psychological responses and negatively related to physical responses. Prayer was positively related to psychological well-being. Women with higher prayer scale scores reported lower education levels, less income to meet their needs, and closer relationships with God. Meaning in life mediated the impact of breast cancer on physical and psychological well-being.
Conclusions: Strong relationships exist among spirituality and personal and cancer characteristics. Meaning in life mediated the effects of breast cancer on well-being in breast cancer survivors.
Implications for Nursing: The findings support healthcare providers encouraging women diagnosed with breast cancer to explore their spirituality as an effective resource for dealing with the physical and psychological responses to cancer.

California officials say more than half of new drivers' licenses issued in the state this year have gone to people who are in the country illegally.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles reported Friday it has issued roughly 397,000 licenses under a state law that allows people who are in the country illegally to apply for licenses to drive. The law went into effect in January.
That's more than half of the total 759,000 licenses issued in the first six months of 2015.
Supporters of the law say giving licenses to people regardless of their immigration status makes the roads safer for everyone. Opponents say people who are not in the country legally should not be rewarded.
Applicants must pass driving tests and show proof of residency and identity.

At the foot of the Babylonstoren Mountain in the beautiful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, lies Mogg's Country Cookhouse. This gem of a restaurant is worth the extra ten minute journey, and especially in view of the fact that there are no less than five notable wine estates en route. Housed in an old farm labourer's cottage, the décor is pure country, a large stone fireplace, cosy pine ceiling, and an assortment of wooden tables and log-style chairs. The interior walls bear testimony to owner Jenny Mogg's talented family and are filled with paintings, embroidered pictures and pottery produced by one family member or another.
Jenny and her daughter Julia started the restaurant in 1995 and achieved great success with a small but frequently changing menu which combines the best of country and Mediterranean cuisine. Julia and Jenny continue to impress patrons with their flair and originality.
A cook's garden supplies plenty of home-grown vegetables for use in the kitchen, and Jenny confirms that absolutely everything else is homemade including the irresistible bread and wonderful ice cream. For a delicious combination of tastes and textures try the Fresh Asparagus Salad with hazelnut and orange dressing, followed by Kassler Chops with goats cheese and fig sauce. Save room for one of the legendary desserts such as the Gourmet Cheesecake with pineapple and ginger syrup.
Cater for evening functions of 20 or more people, but not on Mondays or Tuesdays.

One morning, staring groggily at my breakfast and letting the caffeine hit me so that I finally realise I am awake, I stared aimlessly outside my drawing room window overlooking the Bosphorus Strait. Suddenly, my roommate emitted a shrill ultrasonic sound to maybe announce to the world that Amir Khan was in the city, Istanbul.
Obviously getting excited momentarily, I sauntered lazily to take a shower thinking of the long day of Hospitality seminar I had at the university. So as a part of the class, we were to be taken to two luxury hotels and given a briefing and indulged into the marketing, business and history of the foundations. What seemed a tad boring initially as it had nothing to do with fashion, soon turned out to be more than I expected. We covered two luxury hotels in the same day, the Fairmont Quasar Istanbul and Soho House Istanbul.
The Fairmont Quasar was the first stop where we met the seminar instructor, Antony Doucet. After being slightly in a different zone initially, post the introductions, which I will admit, Antony’s disclosure of Chanel connections and his obvious knowledge of fashion brands, especially Coco, I was far more alert on any word that left the man’s mouth post the divulgence! Just after that, came the revelation that an Indian actor was staying at the Fairmont, yeah, you don’t even get points on guessing it was Amir Khan.
As fate would have it, while we were there, he had left the premises for some promotional stuff, so after a round of squeals and grunts, we went around taking a tour of the place.
Below is a photo series from the Fairmont Quasar and Soho House and of course what I wore, how I styled my attire and a brief history about both the establishments.
FAIRMONT QUASAR ISTANBUL
Rising over the slopes of the Bosphorus, surveying centuries of history, yet silhouetted against the modern skyline of Istanbul, the Fairmont heritage of distinction and style merges with the city’s historical past and traditions to bring guests an exceptional experience in the heart of one of the world’s most talked about destinations. For guests seeking a true luxury hotel in Istanbul, Fairmont Quasar Istanbul is the ultimate destination, comprising of the traditions of the past and the technological advancements of the future. It caters to sophisticated travellers with 209 guest rooms, including 25 suites and 40 Fairmont Gold rooms, with additional 64 Fairmont Residences along with a diverse selection of restaurants and bars, also the luxurious Willow Stream Spa and state-of-the-art gym are the perfect places to relax and revitalize.
SOHO HOUSE ISTANBUL
A exclusive group of private members’ clubs for people working in the creative industries, the brand Houses in London, New York, Berlin, Toronto, West Hollywood, Chicago and Miami. Istanbul is their 13th with some more ambitious projects in the future.
In 1873, Ignazio Corpi, a powerful Genoese shipbuilder in what was then known as the European quarter of Constantinople, commissioned a palatial residence bearing his family’s name. He engaged Italian architect Giacomo Leoni, who set about importing marble from Carrara for the flooring and facings and Piemonte rosewood for the doors and window frames. Famous artists of the day were invited to create the wall paintings depicting Greek mythological scenes in the entrance hall and on the ceilings of the Great Hall. The building took nine years in total to complete. Following Iganzio’s death, his nephews leased the building to the American ambassador, John G.A. Leishman. From 1906, it served as the U.S. embassy and residence, and then the US consulate general from 1937 to 2003. In 2014, Soho House began extensive restoration work on the Palazzo, returning it to its former glory. – From the History of Soho House Istanbul

Police Officer Comforts Autistic Boy Who May Have Been Suicidal in Heartwarming Photo
The image was shared by the officer's department to illustrate how cops go the extra mile to protect and serve.
A North Carolina police officer was photographed coming to the aid of an autistic teen after he fled his high school.
Office Tim Purdy from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department was dispatched to help the unnamed teen who left school and may have been suicidal, according to reports.
The teen has a history of violent behavior due to a neuro-development disorder.
When Officer Purdy spotted the student, he approached him, sat with him on the concrete and tried to connect with him. At one point, the cop even made the teen laugh.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, who posted the story on Facebook Friday morning, “Officer Purdy established trust and a relationship that allowed officers to get this young man the help that he so desperately needed.”
The police department wanted to share the story in order to show that law enforcement officials do more than just make arrests, but it often goes unnoticed when they go the extra mile.
“There’s more to policing than making arrests and enforcing the law. Sometimes taking those extra little steps makes the biggest difference in someone’s life,” the police department wrote.

Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar. –Psalm 118:27
by Rachel Brownson
As a teenager who was really super into church and really super overwhelmed by her emotions pretty much 95% of the time, I loved Lent more than any other time in the church year. I loved the solemn putting away of the alleluias, the darkened purple sanctuary, the invitation to quiet, the permission for tears. I loved to feel that my sufferings, small as they were, connected me to Jesus. I did not, however, love Palm Sunday. What was joy doing right at the peak of Lent, messing up my sadness groove?
The dramatic irony of the story of Palm Sunday is that we know what is coming in the life of Jesus, but the disciples do not. We know that their joy, joy so all-encompassing that the stones themselves would cry out if they did not, is a prelude to torture and grief. We know that the festal procession, bound with branches, is bringing Jesus himself up to the horns of the altar as a sacrifice—we know that the parallel to this moment in scripture is the journey of Abraham and Isaac to Isaac’s binding. We know this is a funeral procession; he was prepared for it when Mary anointed his feet with burial spices. It’s jarring to be asked to feel joy when we know all this is coming.
Chaplains often joke amongst ourselves that our job is to make people cry—often when people feel like their suffering, their questions, their experiences have been genuinely heard, the tears start flowing. But there’s one moment that happens with some regularity in my work that looks a little different, and it’s one of the moments that makes my work worthwhile: I’ll be standing with a family around the bed of a patient who is about to die, or has just died, and I say, “I didn’t know her—what was she like? Are there stories you tell about her?” And nine times out of ten, there will be laughter in the room. Laughter in the midst of tears, but real laughter, real smiles.
A few years ago I was in Asheville, North Carolina, in my third residency out of six for my MFA in poetry writing. It was summer, evening, the mountain thrumming with crickets; all day I’d been listening to beautiful poets read beautiful poems, all day those beautiful poets had been teaching me what life is, what art is. I sat on the broad slate porch of the Fellowship Hall in the evening with a few friends and faculty members, listening to the poets Maurice Manning and Sara Slaughter sing old songs in warm Southern accents. It had just stopped raining and the air was soft and forgiving. One of my teachers began to sing along in his cracked and ragged voice.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy and so sad at once. I feel it again, right now, as I remember it. The pitch of the happiness itself brought about the sadness, because I knew this was fleeting and I would be gone from that place before long. I felt a choice before me at that moment—I could surrender to that grief right then, let it fill me up, or I could stroke its cheek and put it to bed until its time inevitably came.
Life is short. We know the ending. We know death comes for each one of us. We know that to try to replicate the constellation that brings about a particular happiness is to deaden that same happiness with imperfect repetition. So don’t be like my teenage self. Take joy when you can get it. Choose the joy, even when you know what’s coming. That’s what Jesus does, refusing to curtail the joy of his followers even in the face of the coming crucifixion. The joy does come, even at the peak of Lent, even at the deathbed of someone you love. Receive it. Savor it for the gift that it is.
Rachel Brownson is is a Reformed Church minister, a writer, and a board certified chaplain at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in the University of Michigan Health System.
This is beautiful. I have often been confused by Palm Sunday celebrations — for exactly the reasons you express. And I have experienced healthy laughter in the face of death — laughter through tears. Thank you for putting it in words.

Symphony No. 3 ES—Major, OP.55 “Eroica”
by Joanne Troppello
Concert hall filled with pleasantries.
Silk and satin shimmer.
Crisp bow ties rest on white.
Silence as Alfred Scholz rises to center stage.
London Festival Orchestra brings the Master to life.
His energy. His flair. His elegance.
The Master gave life to Eroica.
Eroica gives life to him.
Sweet strains flow soothing ruffled emotions and weary souls.
Eroica erupts energetically from 1st movement to 2nd and 3rd and
4th, charming all in the hall.
Music of the waltz rises and falls in its own cadence.
Harsh, then soft.
Burning the soul with fire.
Faster now, faster now.
Eyes are glued to the orchestra as they make magic this night.
Alfred Scholz waves his arms as if in a maniacal spasm.
He leads his flutes, cellos, violins, and cymbals into harmony.
Harsh percussion drowns out the sweet sound of harp and flute.
Flute whispers again.
Eroica is gone.

The number of young Americans without a job has exploded to 53.4 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.
The number represents the flip-side to the Labor Dept.'s report that the employment rate of 16-to-24 year olds has eroded to 46.6 percent -- the lowest ratio of working young Americans in that age group, including all but those in the military, since WWII.
I think these dismal numbers are a direct result of this. The Minimum Wage was increased last year. If you want to hire a totally inexperienced kid, you have to pay him what Congress thinks he's worth, not what you are willing to exchange for his labor.
Raise the price of something, relative to everything else, and demand drops.
Here's a chart from Gateway Pundit, showing what the electoral map would've looked like if no one had voted in 2008 except 18 and 19 year olds.
Seriously. Thank you. We couldn't have taught them this without your help. "It Takes A Village. "

The Mid-South Charity Horse Show featuring world-class Tennessee Walking Horse competitions will be held at Pugh Bourne Park (343 Oakfield Rd, Oakfield, TN. 38362) on Saturday, July 14 at 6 p.m. There will be concessions, games for the kids, a petting zoo, pony rides, a silent auction and more.
The Youth Town Legacy for Life Golf Tournament is one of the first and one of the largest events of the season. We are excited to play at Jackson Country Club each year, and we look forward to a day of great golf, great friends, great food and hopefully great weather!
Youth Town hosted the first Giraffe Awards in 2017. On the heels of the Hollywood award shows, the Giraffes were designed to recognize those who “stick their neck out for kids.” Individuals from the mental health community, juvenile courts, the universities, medical community, Department of Children’s Services and treatment facilities were among some who were recognized. Coworkers and/or mentors of award recipients are invited to present the awards. Several award recipients brought family and friends for this honor.
$2500 — Title Sponsors will have a booth at the event, lunch, time on the podium to congratulate the award recipients, logo on promotional materials and a day of team building for eight on Youth Town’s challenge ropes course.
$2000 — Exclusive Award Sponsors will have a booth at the event, lunch, time on the podium to congratulate the award recipients and logo on promotional materials.
$1000 — Corporate Sponsors will have a booth at the event, lunch and logo on promotional materials.
$500 — Partial Sponsors will have a booth at the event and verbal recognition during lunch.Benefit
Sponsoring the Giraffe Awards is an investment in the mental heath and substance abuse community that says “thank you” to those who work in it and to those who refer. It is tremendous exposure to a significant group of individuals who have gathered in the same room and are networked with dozens of others in the profession. And…it’s a really good time!
Join competitive runners and leisurely hikers on a beautiful early spring trail run and walk on Youth Town’s Morgan Trail at 3641 Youth Town Road in Pinson, TN. One of Jackson’s only train 5ks, this day should be enjoyable for everyone!
Last year, our annual BBQ Fest/Antique Car show began with The Extra Mile Trail 5k Walk/Run/Hike around the Morgan Lake and Trail on Youth Town’s campus in Pinson, TN.
A car show, arts and crafts fair, petting zoo, live music from Magi, championship BBQ competition, jumpers, climbing wall, hayride, children’s games and more provided entertainment for people of all ages. There was live music, great food and incredible beauty all around for this prime-time autumn Saturday.

NEW LIFE FOR HEALTH - THE COMMISSION ON THE NHS
By Will Hutton ... Published 2000 - 132 pages
The National Health Service is Britain's greatest and most prized national institution. Ever since it's foundation the NHS has commanded extraordinary popular affection and loyalty. Its medical and non-medical staff force alike has been strongly committed to its success and values. However, now more than fifty years later, a huge gap has developed between what the NHS is able to deliver and the expectations and the needs of its users.
In 1999 the Association of Community Health Councils for England and Wales established a Commission, chaired by Will Hutton, to examine the issue of the public interest and accountability of the NHS. The Commission's report has come up with some radical reforms that will transform the accountability of the NHS and will help rebuild the relationships between patients, doctors and NHS staff on a new basis of openness and trust.

what if my macbook is built in 2006?
The original poster said they had a Mac mini, if the Mac mini is an old PowerPC based model then it cannot run Mac OS X 10.6. Both 'late' and 'early' 2006 models of the Mac mini had Intel processors and hence should be able to run Mac OS X 10.6.
All MacBooks have used Intel processors and hence all can run Mac OS X 10.6. No PowerBooks or iBooks can run Mac OS X 10.6.

LCD monitor information share ...
February 13, 2007 8:51pm CST
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display simple ASCII characters, and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, and portable game consoles. LCD is also the technology used for displays in notebooks and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows display devices to be much thinner than those employing cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD devices consume much less power than LED and gas-display displays because they work on the principle of blocking rather than emitting light. How are LCDs made? LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few microns. Plates are filled with liquid crystal, then sealed together. The top plate is colored with an RGB pattern to create a color filter. Then polarizers are glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called a 'glass' or 'cell'. The LCD cell is assembled into a 'module' by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame. LCD TFT components include: 1. Polarizing filter: Regulates in and out 2. Glass substrate: With electrodes 3. Transparent electrodes: These electrodes with high transparency ratios are used to operate the LCD materials. 4. Alignment layer: Films used to align liquid crystal elements in a fixed direction 5. Liquid crystal 6. Spacer: Maintains a consistent gap between two glass plates 7. Color filter: Displays all color with RGB filter 8. Backlighting: Sends light to the screen In the active matrix LCD, a switching transistor (TFT) and a diode are attached to each color element to switch each element on and off. X and Y electrodes are attached to the same circuit board as the TFT. A switching signal is impressed on X electrodes; video signals go to the Y electrode. What is polarization? Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called 'polarization direction'. Normal or non-polarized light has fields in multiple directions; polarized light has fields in only one direction. What is a polarizer? A polarizer is a sheet of special plastic that transmits light with a given polarization direction and absorbs all light with different polarization directions. What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs? A LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time. For example, with an active matrix LCD, your mouse will appear to move more smoothly across the screen. On the other hand, a passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with pixels located at each intersection in the grid. How does a TFT LCD panel work? On the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive is attached to each column while a gate drive is attached to each row. Each cell's TFT drain is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differs depending on whether or not it is impressed with voltage. The voltage varies the direction of polarized light and the amount of light by passing it through different arrays of liquid crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with spiral structure of the liquid crystal molecules and passes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral structure and the direction of the light is not turned 90 degrees. In this case, light that comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom. What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared to CRT? In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitor basically operate with analog RGB signals. A TFT LCD monitor displays an input image by operating a liquid crystal panel. The TFT's structure is fundamentally different than that of a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A TFT LCD is comprised of two glass panels. The space between them is filled with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, the molecular structure of liquid crystal is altered. This controls the amount of inlet lighting used to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT: It can be very thin and does not flicker because it does not use the scanning method. Why is a vertical frequency of 60 Hz optimal for an LCD monitor? Unlike a CRT monitor, the TFT LCD panel has fixed resolution. For example, an XGA monitor has 1024 x 3(R,G,B) x 768 pixels and higher resolution may not be available without additional software processing. The panel is designed to optimize display for a 65 MHz dot clock, one of the standards for XGA displays. Since the vertical/horizontal frequency for this dot clock is 60/48 Hz, the optimum frequency for this monitor is 60 Hz. What kind of wide angle technology is available. How does it work? The TFT LCD panel controls/displays input of a backlight using the dual refraction of liquid crystal. Employing the property that makes the projection of input light refract toward the major axis of the liquid element, it controls the direction of input light and displays it. Since the refraction ratio of input light on liquid crystal varies with the inlet angle of the light, the viewing angle of a TFT is much narrower than that of a CRT. Usually, viewing angle refers to the point where the contrast ratio is 10. Many methods to widen the viewing angle are currently being developed. The most common approach is to use wide viewing angle film, which increases the viewing angle by varying refraction ratio. Also IPS (In Plane Switching) or MVA (multi Vertical Aligned) is used to widen the viewing angle. The new range of LCD monitors employs advanced IPS Technology. Why is there no flicker on an LCD monitor? Technically speaking, LCDs do flicker; however, the cause of the phenomena is different than that of a CRT monitor -- and has no impact on ease of viewing. In an LCD monitor, 'flicker' refers to usually undetectable luminance caused by the difference between positive and negative voltage. On the other hand, CRT flicker - the kind that can irritate the human eye -- occurs when the on/off action on the fluorescent object becomes visible. Since the reaction speed of liquid crystal in an LCD panel is much slower, this troublesome form of flicker is not present in LCD display. Why is an LCD monitor virtually free of Electro Magnetic Interface? Unlike a CRT, the LCD monitor does not have key points that generate Electro Magnetic Interfaces, especially magnetic fields. Also, since LCD display utilizes relatively little power, its power supply is extremely quiet. At what percentage is the brightness level preset? At the factory, Contrast Level is preset at 100% and Brightness Level is set to the maximum level. Liquid Chrystal Displays Liquid chrystal display is the type of display used in laptop computers, in desk computers LCDs have not yet become as common. For their advatages LCDs will possibly replace the traditional CRT monitors, but the development has not been as fast as first was believed. It has been estimated that LCDs have 50% of the market before the year 2004. The advatages of LCDs compared to CRTs are * LCDs consume less power * do not produce electromagnetic radiation as CRTs do * flicker less than CRTs * are light and small in size The drawbacks are * poorer viewing angle * higher price * problems with contrast ratio and response time * less accurate colour performance Other differences: 1. resolutions: CRTs are able to display more resolutions than LCDs which have only one resolution at full screen size. Lower resolutions are possible by using only a part of the sreeen. If a panel with 1024 x 768 resolution needs to display a resolution of 640 x 480 it uses only 66% of the screen. 2. diagonal measurement: LCD's viewable area is the same as its diagonal measurement. CRTs lose about an inch behind the faceplate or bezel. 3. convergence: In LCDs each cell is switched on or off individually so there is no convergence problems as in CRTs in which use electron guns and need faultless convergence if a sharp picture is wanted. 4. signals: CRTs require analogue and LCDs digital signals. Current graphic cards have analogue outputs, hence analogue signals must be converted into digital: 1) graphics signal generated digitally in PC, 2) converted to analogue signal by the graphics card, and 3) fed into LCD where converted back into digital. How LCD works Liquid chrystal displays are based on technique in which current is lead through liquid chrystals. Liquid chrystals are substances that are almost transparent and have properties of both solid and liquid matter. There are two kinds of LCDs: DSTN (dual-scan twisted nematic) and TFT (thin film transistor), which are also known as passive and active matrix displays. LCD is made of several layers that are arranged according to the following order: E) polarising filter D) sheet of glass C) electrode B) alignment layer A) liquid chrystals B) alignment layer C) electrode D) sheet of glass E) polarising filter CRT's look better because they are, this is mostly becuase of the resolution.

U.S. Plans on Iran
"There is a growing conviction among members of the United States military, and in the international community, that President Bush's ultimate goal in the nuclear confrontation with Iran is regime change," Seymour Hersh writes in the new issue of The New Yorker. He also reports: "One of the military's initial option plans, as presented to the White House by the Pentagon this winter, calls for the use of a bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites. ... The Pentagon adviser on the war on terror confirmed that some in the administration were looking seriously at this option, which he linked to a resurgence of interest in tactical nuclear weapons among Pentagon civilians and in policy circles.... He also confirmed that some senior officers and officials were considering resigning over the issue." Full Article
The following analysts are available for interviews:
Sahimi is professor of chemical engineering at the University of Southern California. He co-wrote, with Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi, the op-ed "Defusing Iran with Democracy." Sahimi said today: "The Bush administration should not willingly give rise to a potent and volatile mixture of Iranian nationalism, the Shiites' long tradition of martyrdom, and Islamic fundamentalim of Iran's hard-liners. But talk of military strikes on Iran, particularly use of tactical nuclear bombs, will do exactly that. It also strengthens the radicals, and weakens the democratic forces in Iran. In an actual military conflict with Iran, this volatile mixture would respond in a way that might engulf the entire region in fire. There is one and only one solution to Iran's nuclear program, and that is through negotiations."
Cabasso is executive director of the California-based Western States Legal Foundation; Lichterman is the group's program director. Lichterman said today: "If it is true that a significant faction at the top levels of government is seriously contemplating such nuclear weapons use, it should be a matter of the utmost concern -- and should be met with unambiguous condemnation. A 'preventive' war against Iran, a country that has attacked neither us nor its neighbors and shows no imminent signs of doing so, would be illegal, another act manifesting the rejection by the United States of the international legal framework that it played a leading role in constructing after World War II. An unprovoked nuclear attack would be an atrocity of historic proportions, definitively marking the United States as an outlaw state, ruled by criminals deserving of comparison with the most terrible regimes of the past."
Executive director of the New York-based Lawyers' Committee on Nuclear Policy, Burroughs just wrote the piece "Hersh's Bombshell," which states: "The options being considered are for use of nuclear weapons in order to strike targets difficult to destroy by non-nuclear means. In other words, the options are for integration of nuclear use with other military operations as part of the initial attack."
Burroughs also wrote: "As a whole, the [Hersh] article conveys that the administration is prepared to launch an attack should Iran not accede to U.S. demands, above all not to proceed with uranium enrichment activities. But the potential conflict goes beyond that: the administration seems committed to regime change regardless of whether the nuclear issues are capable of resolution (which they probably are, given any willingness to compromise on Washington's part).
"If executed, U.S. military action would apply the Bush doctrine of preventive war in an unprecedented way that would set the template for years or decades of regional and global violence, unrestrained by law."

As we enter Access to Justice Week, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on what access to justice is, what the Nova Scotia justice community does to promote it, and what resources are available to our members to understand what we can all do to advance the public interest and improve the administration of justice.
Access to justice is a universal principle which outlines that citizens within a democratic society must be able to participate in the justice system to exercise their rights fully, challenge discrimination and marginalization, hold lawmakers accountable, and generally have their voices heard. For us, it is crucial that the public has access to competent lawyers, both professionally and culturally.
The Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society is mandated to improve access to justice as per the Legal Profession Act. It states we must:
“Seek to improve the administration of justice in the Province by regularly consulting with organizations and communities in the Province having an interest in the Society’s purpose, including, but not limited to, organizations and communities reflecting the economic, ethnic, racial, sexual and linguistic diversity of the Province, and engaging in such other relevant activities as approved by the Council.”
Promoting access to justice is a responsibility of all participants in the justice community. The Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society, the judiciary, the legislature, the police, members of the bar, advocacy groups, members of the public, and many other groups share the responsibility of creating a climate that facilitates this principle. This week recognizes the work we all do to promote access to justice and asks us to reflect on what we can do better. Like all provinces, Nova Scotia has challenges to access to justice that we, as a regulator, must continue to address.
Legal deserts create access to justice issues in Nova Scotia. They exist when the public may be unable to find a lawyer near where they live because of the urban-rural divide. The map below illustrates the centralization of lawyers in Halifax and some counties with as few as two lawyers. The Society sees our role as a facilitator to encourage and improve rural practice conditions to improve access to justice for rural Nova Scotians. This is only one challenge that we must address to improve access to justice.
The Action Group on Access to Justice is a national organization committed to improving access to justice nationwide. I encourage our members to review the activities they have coordinated and possibly make time for some of the online offerings. You can access their offerings here: https://lso.ca/theactiongroup/access-to-justice-week/schedule.
Another key stakeholder we recognize this week is the Access to Justice and Law Reform Institute of Nova Scotia, which makes recommendations for the modernization, improvement and reform of law and acts as a centre of coordination, research, education, and action on access to justice. Some of their recent resources for lawyers from their “No Longer on My Own” project, which is a collaboration between the Institute, the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia, Coverdale Justice Society, and Be the Peace Institute, are listed below:
- Webinar and Manual on Bringing a Family violence claim in Family Court: https://nolongeronmyown.ca/our-work/
- Website with resources on family violence for lawyers, survivors and service providers: https://nolongeronmyown.ca/
- Newsletter on Family Violence highlighting new family violence cases, materials and events: https://nolongeronmyown.us9.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b80bab791f8d3226ca9ba9355&id=b2e756f247
- Family Violence Family Law Project: https://fvfl-vfdf.ca/home.html
Currently, they are surveying lawyers to help understand the difficulties they are experiencing in obtaining virtual orders. That survey is available here: https://s.surveyplanet.com/v0opbkla. I encourage our members to participate in this survey and reach out to the Institute if you have any questions about their resources or their work.
Throughout Access to Justice Week, the Society will spotlight some of the work we do to promote access to justice in this province. The Society’s Council has begun working on a new strategic plan, and we are certain that improving access to justice will continue to be a priority.
