When does a ride to the airport mean more than a ride to the airport? In her New York Times Magazine Letter of Recommendation essay, Jacqueline Kantor refers to the idea that the offer to drive someone to the airport often holds signification in romantic relationships and friendships. Write an essay about a mundane task or practical favor that you have done as a gesture of your burgeoning feelings for someone. Did the recipient note the significance of the act? Was it the beginning of a new chapter in your relationship?

Last November, over five hundred pieces from the art collection of Patricia and Donald Oresman were auctioned off in New York City, including work by Roz Chast, Allen Ginsberg, William Kentridge, Jacob Lawrence, and David Wojnarowicz. What is unique about the couple’s collection is that all of the drawings, paintings, and photographs depict a common subject: They are all portraits of someone reading. Inspired by this singular focus, write a series of vignettes that all explore a shared subject or theme. Experiment with different styles, perspectives, or tones to create a multivalence in your collection.
Wesley Yang’s essay collection, The Souls of Yellow Folk (Norton, 2018), takes inspiration from W. E. B. Du Bois’s 1903 book, The Souls of Black Folk, which addresses the experience of double consciousness: a divided identity split between the consciousness of how one views oneself and how one is viewed by others. A number of Yang’s essays examine his role as a writer within “the peculiar burden of nonrecognition, of invisibility, that is the condition of being an Asian American man,” and circle around the frustration and isolation of attempting to reconcile or unify public opinion with one’s inner life. In your own nonfiction, have you struggled with representing yourself honestly while being conscious of how your readers might view you? Write an essay about striking a balance between writing truthfully about your interior self and considering the pressures of others’ perceptions.
In “‘I Read Morning, Night and in Between’: How One Novelist Came to Love Books” in the New York Times last month, Chigozie Obioma writes about how his journey to becoming a voracious reader was shaped by a childhood full of books and storytelling, and recounts a discovery made about the differences between stories told by his father versus those told by his mother. Write a personal essay about a storyteller who has played an important role in your life, such as a parent or guardian who animatedly read you bedtime stories, a relative whose tales are particularly exaggerated, or a friend whose sense of comedic or suspenseful timing is always just right. How has this person had an effect on your own storytelling and writing?
Poet Maggie Smith’s essay “Tracking the Demise of My Marriage on Google Maps” published in the New York Times Modern Love column, uses images of her house on Google Street View, photographed throughout a period of several years, as a means of imagining and remembering the events that occurred inside the residence. Smith reflects on the trajectory of her relationship with her husband and the gradual transformations of their family. Look up a current or former residence of yours using Google Street View. Click through photos taken over the years if available, and write a remembrance of your time spent there, focusing on your habitual movements within the home and how they have affected your relationships.
“Philosophically, the New Year is a time for beginnings, a time for reflection and change. I can’t think of a better place than this vast and ruggedly beautiful continent to put things in perspective,” says traveler Chuck Ward in a recent New York Times article about celebrating New Year’s Eve in Antarctica. Write a personal essay about a particularly poignant or exciting New Year’s celebration you’ve had in the past. Describe the setting and how it influenced your mood. What made the night memorable and did you intend for your festivities to help start the year off in a certain way? How did the rest of the year measure up to your New Year’s expectations?
In the essay “The Poet’s Table,” published by the Poetry Foundation, food writer Mayukh Sen pays tribute to the late Maya Angelou for her lesser-known literary feats: her cookbooks. Angelou published two cookbooks when she was in her seventies and eighties, which offer readers more than just lists of measured ingredients and directions. The pages are filled with anecdotes and deeply personal stories touching upon cultural narratives, racial divisions, juvenile traumas, and moments of joy. “I feel cooking is a natural extension to my autobiography,” Angelou told the Guardian in 2011 regarding her cookbooks. This week, think of a recipe that contains some of your personal history within it—childhood memory, exploration of heritage, sense of place, or simply a snapshot of life. Write about the dish in detailed prose, allowing instruction to blend with your reminiscence.
What riches lie in that special space between the conscious and unconscious mind, when you’re just about to fall asleep or right as you’re waking up? In “The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Harnessing the Power of Hypnagogia” in the January/February issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, Melissa Burkley writes about this mental twilight state, and the ways that these daily moments before and after sleep can be used for storytelling inspiration. Read about the hypnagogic techniques Burkley outlines in the piece and try one of her tips for harnessing these moments of creative potential. For example, use a twenty-minute nap or ease yourself out of your waking routine slowly to let your semi-conscious mind work over the ideas. Record notes on your experiences as soon as you get up, and then see how you might incorporate them into your writing.
In Amanda Hess’s New York Times essay “The End of Endings,” she writes about how in our current age of “the prequel, the reboot, the reunion, the revival, the remake, the spinoff,” the logic of the Internet contributes to a timeline where nothing ends, a time when scrolling through social media continues indefinitely, an age of never-ending online content. Whereas in the past, “we needed stories to end so we could make sense of them.” Write a personal essay that extends a previously explored subject or experience to investigate what came before or after, or that offers a different version or perspective.
In The Library Book, published by Simon & Schuster in October, Susan Orlean’s lifelong love of reading and books propels her toward an exploration of libraries, as well as the personal stories of librarians. In the process of turning an eye toward one specific subject, Orlean delves into larger themes of obsessions, collecting, and memory as they pertain to universal human tendencies and to her own life. Think of a broad subject of particular interest to you and write a personal essay about it that incorporates different types of nonfiction, including elements of memoiristic writing, historical research, interviews, and primary-source documents. Examine the ways in which the formation and collection of your own memories joins with other voices and stories to create a chorus.
Is simpler always better? Last year, scientists reported findings that the familiar and more easily built, open bowl-shaped nests most birds build today likely evolved from more complicated dome-shaped nests with protective roofs, not the other way around as previously theorized. Write a personal essay about a task you’ve attempted to simplify, perhaps an everyday skill like cooking or cleaning that you learned from an elder as a child. Did you find your way was more efficient or did you go back to the ways you were taught? Has hindsight provided new perspectives?
Imagine you are being interviewed for a literary publication. Pose incisive and personal questions another writer might ask you about yourself and your writing. For ideas, browse our rich archive of online exclusives for interviews. Consider a few open-ended queries that resonate with you and respond to them as honestly as possible: What are some of the lies you have had to let go of when writing about your life? Has writing changed your relationship to your body? Where is the line between what you will and won’t share with strangers? Then, try writing a personal essay as an expansion of one of your responses.
In a recent New York Times profile by Penelope Green, author Anne Lamott says, “I don’t write stuff I don’t think is universal, if I write about my butt or my body or my, you know, challenges with self-esteem or my raging ego, I know it’s universal.” Jot down a list of personality traits, idiosyncratic beliefs or opinions, or past situations that seem extremely specific to you alone. Upon deeper reflection, is there a possible overlap between any of these topics and circumstances others may be familiar with? Select one of these items and write a personal essay that extends this seemingly personal concern into the realm of the universal.
“Boredom becomes a seeking state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking, you’re engaged,” says psychologist Heather Lench in an article for Wired about the connection between boredom and creativity. Do you remember the last time you allowed yourself to truly do nothing to the point that you felt bored? Write a personal essay about a time when you had nothing to do and how that inspired you to create something. This could be a childhood memory of inventing a new reality or a more recent experience when you allowed yourself time away from distraction and wrote a new piece. Use this essay to reflect on how silence and inactivity have played a role in your creativity.
“Where would we be without the women who plant their feet, who set their chins, who step forward and never fear the dark?” asks Laird Hunt in his Literary Hub essay “In Gratitude for the Fierce Women of the World.” Hunt describes his high school girlfriend and his grandmother, who both served as fierce female inspiration for him and his novels which center on women who “are making their own story, their own names, their own games.” Write a personal essay about a woman who has had a powerful presence in your life, who inspired you to persevere, to overcome obstacles, to not back down.
In the chapter titled “The One Where Two Women Got Married” in the nostalgic retrospective I’ll Be There For You: The One About Friends (Hanover Square Press, 2018), journalist Kelsey Miller writes about the prevalence of homophobic jokes and the depiction of the lesbian couple in the television show Friends. Looking back twenty years later, Miller explores the ways in which the series was a product of its time. Choose a television series that aired ten or twenty years ago that you used to watch, and find a clip or episode to view. Write a personal essay about how your perception of the show has changed with hindsight. Consider what your own opinions of the show were when you watched it the first time around, and then examine how your perspective might have evolved over the years with the culture.
“As a nonfiction writer I tend to write about things when I am still in the midst of them, when I am too close to the subject matter and there is no possible resolution to the thing I am writing about,” writes Steph Auteri in “Writing Partners: Working Together Through Writing and Life” in the November/December issue of Poets & Writers Magazine. What issues or conflicts are you in the midst of struggling with right now? Begin an essay about a subject that you are dealing with at the moment, writing down all the raw emotions without self-editing. Perhaps in a few weeks or months, you can revisit the piece and decide whether to continue working on it from more of a distance.
Think about a place that has served as a sanctuary to you as a writer, whether in the past or present. Perhaps it is somewhere you’ve visited only once, somewhere you return to every year, or somewhere in-between. It could even be a writing retreat or residency. Write an essay about what makes this space so inspiring to you as a writer. Describe the setting using all the senses: You might include a favorite soft-cushioned chair, the aroma of fresh flowers, the colors of the walls, a favorite snack, or the sound of pen to paper. What are the elements that help motivate you to write in this place?
This past August, a couple browsing through a Florida Goodwill store’s secondhand goods found a baseball mitt that was lost by their son forty years earlier when the family lived in their hometown in Ohio. Think of the various belongings you lost as a child. Is there one item in particular whose loss hit you the hardest, or that you find yourself thinking about often? Write a personal essay about several long-lost objects, drawing upon your memories and what the object’s importance expresses about your values. If the objects were to turn up now, would they still hold meaning for you?
Labor Day, a holiday honoring the American labor and trade union movements celebrated on the first Monday in September, is the marker of the unofficial end of summer. Oldfangled fashion etiquette dictates that it also marks the annual cutoff point for wearing certain items of clothing such as white shoes or white pants, along with patterns and materials including seersucker, eyelet, patchwork madras, linen, and canvas. Write a personal essay about a seasonal item that you’re either reluctant to let go of at the end of summer or eager to dig out from the depths of your closet storage for the beginning of fall. Explore how the seasonal clothing you wear is associated with the climate and traditions of your particular geographic region, as well as the emotional ties and memories linked to this annual transition.
“And it seemed as though in a little while the solution would be found, and then a new and glorious life would begin; and it was clear to both of them that they still had a long, long road before them, and that the most complicated and difficult part of it was only just beginning.” In “The Chekhov Sentence That Contains Almost All of Life” published in the Atlantic, Gary Shteyngart talks to Joe Fassler about this last line of Anton Chekhov’s 1899 short story “The Lady With the Dog,” and explains why he believes it expresses a universal truth about all human relationships. Find a favorite final sentence from a prose piece you have long appreciated and write a personal essay about why you find it particularly resonant. How has your reading of it evolved over the years, and what memories surface upon its recollection?
The National Audubon Society, National Geographic, BirdLife International, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology have teamed up to declare 2018 the Year of the Bird, to celebrate and draw awareness to the centennial of the signing of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. As you go about your daily tasks this week, keep an eye out for the birds that you encounter, whether flying overhead, perched in trees, or underfoot. Write an essay inspired by the feathered friends that fly in and out of your day. What memories or emotions do birds bring to mind? Have they been symbolic of an important moment in your life?
In the September/October issue of Poets & Writers Magazine, Heather Lanier writes: “Don’t settle for your first idea or point, the thing that might have brought you to the page. Let that first point be a jumping-off place to deeper questioning.” Lanier shares an anecdote about starting an essay initially focused on exploring the etymology of a word, and then realizing it was on track to recreate a well-trod argument, a realization which steered her toward a more challenging and uncertain direction. Think of an essay topic that seems like a good idea for exploration, and then seek “the deeper questions, the ones for which you don’t have ready answers” as you write and dive into your topic. Where do you end up when you can’t see where you’re headed?
Can you remember the last time you handwrote a lengthy text? The Magic of Handwriting, an exhibit currently on view at the Morgan Library in New York City, showcases a collection of handwritten documents and autographs acquired by Brazilian author and publisher Pedro Corrêa do Lago. The exhibition includes intimate inscriptions by Jorge Luis Borges, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Emily Dickinson, Allen Ginsberg, Marcel Proust, and Oscar Wilde, among others. Write a personal essay about how your own handwriting has changed from childhood, through adolescence and adulthood. What memories are brought to mind when looking at your old handwriting? Perhaps try handwriting the first draft of your essay to help connect back into this practice.
“One of the most surprising responses to my book came from my mother. She said above all what the poems illustrated to her is that anyone can be a monster to any number of people—even if they don’t intend to act in ways that harm,” writes Diana Arterian in an essay on the Poetry Foundation’s blog, Harriet. Write an essay about a time when you were caught off guard by a surprising or unusual response to your creative writing, perhaps by someone close to you. How did this unexpected, or unintended, reaction offer a new perspective into your own work?

It’s time once again for that grand gathering of embedded Linux geeks known as the Embedded Linux Conference (ELC), as well as the co-located, non-Linux specific OpenIoT Summit. In this article, we take a closer look at the conference schedule, with keynotes and sessions you won’t want to miss.
ELC + OpenIoT is happening Mar. 12-14 in Portland, Oregon, the home of Linus Torvalds, who created Linux as a desktop OS and has watched it spread throughout the server world. Over the past decade, Linux has found similar success in embedded gear ranging from mobile devices to Internet of Things hubs to industrial equipment to drones.
Torvalds is not a scheduled speaker at the event, but the keynote speakers include the co-founder of another major open source embedded platform. Massimo Banzi is now the clear leader of the Arduino community after Federico Musto, the head of the formerly forked and then reunited Arduino Srl, departed last summer. There are no details as yet on the topic of Banzi’s Tuesday, 10 a.m. keynote, but it will likely be more about OpenIoT than Linux. Arduino appears to have backed away from its experiment in Linux/Arduino hybrid boards, such as the Yun, but it has a renewed emphasis on open source, community, and educational projects. Arduino is now focusing on its Raspberry Pi Zero sized MKR line of wireless, MCU-based Arduino boards.
Keynote lineup: From Google Cloud IoT to the robot apocalypse
Monday’s keynote lineup starts with a welcome from Sony’s Tim Bird, Chair of the Architecture Group of The Linux Foundation’s CE Working Group, and Philip DesAutel, the LF’s IoT Co-Chair. This talk will be followed by Antony Passemard, the Product Management Lead for Google Cloud IoT, who will discuss Google’s growing body of cloud-related IoT and analytics services. A hardware perspective on Linux will be provided by Patricia Florissi, VP and global CTO for Sales at Dell EMC.
Monday’s keynotes will be concluded with an address by Daniel Wilson titled “Sci-Fi Destroys the World, Science Builds It.” You can amp yourself up by reading Wilson’s bestsellers: Robopocalypse, Robogenesis, and How to Survive a Robot Uprising. (Maybe it’s time to keep that TurtleBot under lock and key.)
Tuesday’s lineup includes Banzi’s address, along with a keynote from DesAutels and Kate Stewart, Sr. Director of Strategic Programs at The Linux Foundation. Wednesday’s speakers include Amber Case of the Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center, as well as two longtime Linux leaders: Imad Sousou, VP and GM at Intel’s Open Source Technology Center, and Jonathan Corbet, Executive Editor of LWN.net.
Sessions: Real-Time Linux, Yocto, Zephyr, and much more
This year’s diverse selection of topics lacks a clearly dominant theme. There are, however, more than the usual sessions on Real-Time Linux. A half dozen ELC presentations include sessions on both the dominant Preempt-RT and its main rival Xenomai, and there’s a report from Ambient Sensors’ Sandra Capri on implementing a pseudo-real-time stack that uses neither of these technologies, with examples detailed for the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone.
The ELC lineup also includes five sessions on the Yocto Project, which is quietly extending its reach in embedded Linux development on both x86 and ARM platforms, especially when a high degree of customization is required. There’s even a session on porting OpenEmbedded/Yocto to the open source RISC-V architecture (see farther below).
The OpenIoT track, meanwhile, has seven presentations on the lightweight Zephyr OS. This quickly maturing open source distribution for MCUs will also be showcased at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany, taking place Feb. 27 to Mar. 1.
10 sessions to consider for ELC + OpenIoT 2018:
Mozilla’s Iot Framework: Putting People First (Mon. 10:50) — Kathy Giori, Mozilla Corp. Last July, Mozilla unveiled an open source IoT project called Web of Things in collaboration with the W3C. The project has a Things gateway prototype that runs on a Raspberry Pi, and which builds on linkable and discoverable APIs based on standard web technologies.
Zephyr LTS Release, What to Expect and Why are We Doing This (Mon. 11:50) — Anas Nashif, Intel. In its first two years, the Zephyr RTOS has had 11 development releases. This year, we’ll see a major Zephyr LTS release with new features, stable APIs, and a subset of certifications.
Introduction to SoundWire (Mon 2:00) — Vinod Koul, Intel. The MIPI Alliance’s SoundWire audio bus spec, which was recently merged into Linux 4.16, should eventually replace HDA and I2C for low-cost, low-latency audio streaming in embedded devices and PCs.
OpenEmbedded Yocto on RISC-V — New Kid on the Block (Mon. 4:10) — Khem Raj, Comcast. This year we’ll see the first Linux-ready implementation of the open source RISC-V ISA architecture. OpenEmbedded/Yocto is one of first embedded Linux distribution frameworks to support RISC-V, but challenges remain.
Preempt-RT Raspberry Pi Linux (Tue. 2:00) — Tiejun Chen, VMware. Real-time Preempt-RT patches are increasingly being integrated in the Linux kernel, but not the kernel maintained specifically for the Raspberry Pi. Chen explores the potential and challenges of integration.
Secure Containers in Embedded Deployments (Tue. 4:20) — Stefano Stabellini, Xen Project. Stabellini discusses a new approach for enabling embedded hypervisors to run container apps such as minimalist Docker implementations on small embedded Linux devices without sacrificing real-time or safety.
The Salmon Diet: Up-Streaming Drivers as a Form of Optimization (Wed. 11:05) — Gilad Ben-Yossef, Arm. Ben-Yossef describes his experience in up-streaming the previously out-of-tree CryptoCell REE device driver, how the process helped reduce the line count by 30 percent while also decreasing bugs.
Sensor Types and their Uses (Wed. 2:30) — Mike Anderson, The PTR Group. With the increase of IoT and robotics applications, sensors such as gyroscopes, stress gauges, thermocouples, and more are increasingly part of the embedded developer’s toolkit. But what do they do exactly, and how do you integrate them?
Civil Infrastructure Platform: Industrial Grade Open Source Base-Layer (Wed. 3:30) — Yoshitake Kobayashi, Toshiba, and Urs Gleim, Siemens AG. Catch up on one of the Linux Foundation’s latest projects. The CIP project is producing a super long-term supported (SLTS) industrial software layer for civil infrastructure to encourage improved reusability.
3D Printing with Linux and Xenomai (Wed. 3:30) — Kendall Auel, 3D Systems Corp. Auel describes how a dual-kernel architecture using Linux and Xenomai can maintain low and predictable latencies for real time control of a 3D printer, while enabling a complex and resource intensive slicing application to run in parallel.
Registration is now open for the Embedded Linux Conference and OpenIoT Summit, to be held Mar. 12-14 at the Hilton Portland in Portland, OR. Packages start at $700, rising to $850 on Feb. 18. Academic and hobbyist discounts are available. Linux.com readers can register now with discount code, LINUXRD5, for 5% off the attendee registration.

This month, we’re showing a series of dance films that celebrate the magic of motion.
Mixing the experimental artist Henry Hills’ rhythmic style of filmmaking with Venezuelan choreographer David Zambrano’s lively flair for improvisation, Social Skills is a shape-shifting delight. Made on the occasion of Zambrano’s sixtieth birthday, this electric short follows sixty dancers over the course of two weeks at the Tictac Art Centre in Brussels, where they practice a series of improvisational set-ups.
Two minutes into this audio-visual extravaganza, Hills includes a sound-bite from Zambrano talking about dance and “the fantastic intelligence of touching people.” In breathless fashion, he goes “we bring people with us, we go under people, over people, we converse through each other, with each other…” His breakneck speech corresponds with the film’s mutability, which switches up its soundtrack and visual focus in response to different dancers’ unique gestures.
“The ‘guiding logic’ in all of my films is spending a long time intimately learning the subtle nuances of the material I have shot, looking at it over and over, trying to recall what was going on in my head as I gathered it, and then assembling it in an improvisational manner, but with improvisation upon improvisation over an extended period of time, whittling the material almost microscopically until the rhythms are comfortable to my body and mind, my personal rhythms.” HENRY HILLS
Social Skills’ anarchic blend of musical excerpts is complemented by electric harp improvisations by the composer Zeena Parkins. Alongside Hills’ frenetic montage, these disparate sounds imbue his images with a hypnotic quality. As the distinguished experimental film critic Michael Sicinski once put it, “Hills is such a form-buster that watching his films inevitably prompts a momentary disquieting thought: what’s it like inside this guy’s head?”
Henry Hills was born in Atlanta, Georgia. In the late ’70s, he edited the West Coast Film Journal Cinemanews. During the 1980s he made a series of films featuring artists from the developing “L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E” poetry, post-Judson dance, and downtown improv music scenes, including Money (1985), which is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Throughout the 1990s, he worked as an editor on projects such as Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard (1996), music videos for the likes of John Zorn and the Kronos Quartet, and in 2001 In the Mirror of Maya Deren by Austrian documentarian Martina Kudláček, who he later married. In 2005, he became a Visiting Professor at the film academy FAMU in Prague and in 2009, he was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in the Creative Arts. He is currently working on Commute, a film that will pair over a decade’s worth of footage from his commute between Vienna and Prague with train-related music—from Charles Ives to Duke Ellington to The Buzzcocks. In late Spring this year, the Cinémathèque québécoise will present a two-program retrospective of his films.

Hello and welcome to the details of Netanyahu revives moves to shut Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV in Israel and now with the details
Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - According to a statement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take immediate action to shut down Al Jazeera in accordance with procedure set out in the law.'. — Reuters pic
JERUSALEM, April 1 — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revived moves today to shut down Qatari satellite television station Al Jazeera in Israel, saying through his party spokesperson that parliament would be convened in the evening to ratify the necessary law.
Thereafter, Netanyahu “will take immediate action to shut down Al Jazeera in accordance with procedure set out in the law,” the Likud party statement said. Israel has previously accused the station of agitating against it among Arab viewers.
There was no immediate comment from the station’s main office or the Qatari government in Doha.
Israeli officials have long complained about Al Jazeera’s coverage but stopped short of taking action, mindful of Qatar’s bankrolling of Palestinian construction projects in the Gaza Strip - seen by all sides as a means of staving off conflict.
Since the Gaza war that erupted on Oct. 7 with a cross-border killing and kidnapping rampage by the enclave’s dominant Hamas Islamists, Doha has mediated ceasefire talks under which Israel recovered some of those taken hostage.
Negotiations on a second proposed truce appear to be going nowhere, however. In January, Netanyahu publicly called for the Qataris to be pressed into applying more pressure on Hamas. Qatar hosts the group’s political office and several top Hamas officials.
Meanwhile, Israeli views on Al Jazeera have hardened. Israel’s communications minister accused the station on October 15 of pro-Hamas incitement and exposing Israeli troops to ambushes. Al Jazeera and the Doha government did not respond to those allegations.
The following month, however, Israel appeared to spare the Qatari station, instead ordering the shutting down of the local broadcasts of a smaller Lebanese pro-Iranian channel, Al Mayadeen, under emergency media regulations. — Reuters
These were the details of the news Netanyahu revives moves to shut Qatar’s Al Jazeera TV in Israel for this day. We hope that we have succeeded by giving you the full details and information. To follow all our news, you can subscribe to the alerts system or to one of our different systems to provide you with all that is new.

The World Council of Churches is encouraging people to share new images and messages created for 2021 on social media on and around Valentine’s Day, 14 February. These messages invite reflection during a year in which a “shadow pandemic” of domestic abuse and violence has risen alarmingly in conjunction with COVID-19-related lockdowns.

JUST PLAIN TALK: Pandemic highlighted shortfalls in childcare industry
In light of the current labor shortage, I’m reminded of a conversion with a client. Now retired, they worked for St. Joe and predicted today’s labor crunch, “Where do they think we’re going to find workers?” The pandemic will end, but COVID-19 brought to light problems that will persist.
Yes, some people are too “sorry” to work. Those who understand Southern English know what I mean. But not everyone who quits a job does it because they don’t want to work. For example, after our son was born, childcare was a huge issue. My wife wasn’t making enough to justify paying daycare, so she gave notice, similar but unlike Johnny Paycheck. Fortunately for us, one of the accounting firm’s clients got wind of her resignation and offered her a better-paying job so we could afford childcare.
Historically, America hasn’t valued childcare, but it is a critical but underappreciated part of the economy. Gross Domestic Product includes goods and services. Childcare is a service, and parents, children, and society share the benefits. America came tantalizingly close to public childcare in the '70s. A bipartisan bill passed Congress, but Nixon vetoed it.
Infrastructure includes everything a society needs to function. Human infrastructure, caring for the young, sick or elderly, is as critical as roads, bridges, and cyber-security. For example, the pandemic forced parents with school-age or younger children to change how they worked to take care of their children. If you don’t believe me, look at the numbers. Ten million women were out of the workforce at the beginning of this year. Lack of consistent childcare is one of the reasons April had disappointing unemployment numbers.
Many working parents rely on an informal network to provide care for their children. But pandemic and subsequent social isolation meant people were less inclined to interact socially. As a result, COVID-19 frayed their cobbled-together arrangements. It shouldn’t have taken a worldwide pandemic for us to realize that without reliable and affordable childcare, working parents can’t build careers or hold jobs. Maybe that will be a silver lining from the COVID’s dark cloud.
Another dilemma facing employers and workers is our area’s lack of affordable housing. Soaring demand for short-term rentals has been good for landlords but a burden for renters. Twenty years ago, entry-level workers, with a buddy or two, could find an affordable rental. But, to borrow a line from Peggy Mitchell, those days are gone with the wind. A two-hour roundtrip reduces a paycheck twenty-five percent with an eight-hour workday, excluding gas and vehicle maintenance costs.
In a former occupation, I had a small staff, so I sympathize with employers. Don’t forget December and January were the two deadliest months of the pandemic. The increased unemployment benefits were signed into law in early March. Then no one knew how effective or available vaccines would be; hindsight is 20-20. We’re still not out of the woods. Given COVID-19 variants, vaccine hesitancy could mean a resurgence in cases.

The Arlington County Police Department responded to 14 DUI incidents this weekend. On Sunday afternoon alone, there were four DUI hit and run cases. Police say that number is more typical of a Friday or Saturday night, not a Sunday afternoon.
“This is not a typical shift, with four similar DUI hit and runs. We were able to locate the individuals and apprehend them a short time after the incidents,” said ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. “This is unusual for a Sunday afternoon.”
One of the incidents involved police receiving calls about a car on I-66 westbound with what appeared to be one missing tire. Officers checking out the reports saw the driver of the vehicle hit another vehicle and attempt to leave the scene. She then reportedly hit the concrete barrier, which stopped her car near Glebe Road.
Officers had to remove the woman from her vehicle because they said she was unable to stand or hold up her own head. She was taken to the hospital as a precaution but did not have any serious injuries. Blood drawn at the hospital showed the woman had a blood alcohol level of .36. She was arrested for DUI and hit and run.
All of the drivers in the other three hit and run incidents were also tracked down and arrested for DUI and hit and run, among other offenses.
ACPD cautions drivers that DUI incidents tend to increase during holiday weeks. The department will have addition patrols out this week checking for drunk drivers in light of the Thanksgiving holiday.
“If you’re driving, please don’t drink,” Sternbeck said. “If you do drink alcohol, please use a sober designated driver and wear your seatbelt.”

Can You Use OxiClean On Baby Clothes?
OxiClean is an oxygen-based stain remover that works wonders on household laundry. When it comes to baby and children’s clothes, many people are left wondering if they can use this product safely.
What Is Talc And How Does It Work?
OxiClean contains sodium percarbonate, a compound derived from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It breaks down organic stains using the power of oxygen. The other ingredient in OxiClean is talc, a fine, white powder that also helps with stain removal.
Can You Use OxiClean Safely On Baby Clothes?
The answer is yes, you can use OxiClean safely on baby clothes. The oxygen-based formula breaks down organic stains, it’s safe and gentle enough to use on delicate fabrics, and the talc works to absorb oils and grease.
Tips For Using OxiClean On Baby Clothes
- Read the Directions – Never use OxiClean on baby clothes without first reading the directions. Be sure to follow the instructions for diluting the product and follow the recommended soaking times.
- Test a Small Area – Always test OxiClean on a small, hidden area of the fabric before applying it to the entire garment. Make sure there is no adverse reaction before going ahead.
- Use Cold Water – When using OxiClean to clean baby clothes, always use cold water. Hot or warm water can cause the fabric to shrink, resulting in an ill-fitting outfit.
- Rinse Thoroughly – It’s essential to rinse baby clothes thoroughly after using OxiClean. Any residual chemicals could irritate a baby’s delicate skin.
As you can see, OxiClean is an effective and safe product to use on baby clothes. Just be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and test in a small area before applying it to the whole garment.

Last Updated January 23rd, 2023: One of the most common pests you will ever find on a cannabis plant, Spider mites can be detrimental to your weed’s growth and development. Despite this small size, these garden pests are difficult to get rid of! Thankfully in this guide we’re gonna talk you through how to get rid of spider mites on cannabis plants!
Spider mites have many ways that they could harm your marijuana plants including sucking out fluids with their piercing mouthparts as well as injecting toxins into leaves which damages water-conducting cells in the tissue. This makes it extremely important to take care of spider mites as soon as there are any signs to help ensure your grow is healthy!
There’s only one surefire way to keep spider mites at bay, killing them! That being said, you need to be sure you’re killing the spider mites without harming your plants. Below we’ll cover more about spider mites, how to kill them, and how to keep your cannabis plants healthy!
How To Get Rid Of Spider Mites On Cannabis Plants:
If you noticed you have spider mites, then have no fear, you still can work to get rid of them before they do any damage to your grow. That being said, the quicker you notice them and get rid of them, the more it reduces the chances of any damage to the plants.
You can either choose to get rid of them naturally or use a spider mite poison which is usually more effective, but can be slightly more harmful to your plants.
Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Spider Mites On Cannabis:
- Use a handheld vacuum to vacuum off spider mites from your plants. Use it on a gentle setting so you don’t hurt the plant, but you remove the spider mites.
- Prune-infected leaves: If you’re noticing discoloration or spots on the leaves, you should prune the leaves off to prevent the spread of the infection.
- Introduce ladybugs to your grow! Ladybugs eat spider mites and are a friend to your plants!
What Even Are Spider Mites?
Spider mites are tricky pests that can wreak havoc on your marijuana plants. Spider mites, which are a part of the spider and tick family, pose as one of the most common household bugs in gardens across America today.
When you notice your plants are struggling it is easy to assume that low soil nutrient levels or low water content may be what’s killing off our green guys’ energy; but there could always be an outside force at work–namely these nasty little insects!
These pests feed off the nutrients of plants, and actively sap your plant’s energy. Spider mites can become a big issue quickly because they can reproduce up to 100 times within their 30-day lifespan.
It can be quite difficult to identify spider mites with your naked eye because they are so tiny.
Signs Of A Spider Mite Infestation:
We have already established that a spider mite infestation can be deadly, therefore, being proactive and monitoring your plant carefully to identify the problem in the early stages is crucial. The key is to observe your plant carefully, and most importantly, observe the leaves. You can also use a magnifying glass to help you see them. Spider mites usually stay on the undersides of the leaves. They can be difficult to see with the naked eye, but their impact is visible in the form of white or yellow specks. These specks are caused by the bites of these mites. In case of a bad infestation, you will see that discoloration has spread to the whole leaf.
Besides these specks, you may also find sticky silk webs on the plant – especially on the leaves and buds. Dirt and dust get stuck in these webs and make the foliage look dirty. These webs are relatively easy to see and signal that treatment should be started right away.
Quick Tips To Identify Spider Mites:
- Plants Aren’t Growing At A Regular Timeline
- Leaves Are Turning Yellow or Canoeing
- Leaves Have Colored Spots
- White Specks or Dust On Leaves
- Small Networks of Webs
Do Spider Mites Live In The Soil Of A Plant?:
Spider mites live in the soil and on top of plant canopies. If you see small specks around your plants appearing as if they’re moving it is likely that you have spider mites. Some of the most common places for them to live include in or on top of the soil, on leaves above ground, in and around the pots or planters, as well as in or around the flowers of your grow.
How To Prevent Spider Mites On Your Cannabis Grow:
The ultimate goal should be to prevent spider mites bebfore you get them because it’s easier to prevent than it is to get rid of them.
Here are some basic steps to prevent spider mites when growing weed:
- Ensure that your grow follows the proper temperature and humidty for your strain. Having too high of humidity makes your grow prone to spider mites and other issues such as mold.
- Inspect your grow daily and look for signs of spider mites. If you identify them early on, it will allow you to deal with them quicker and easier.
- Keep your grow seperated from other plants which could transfer spider mites to your cannabis grow.
Final Thoughts On Spider Mites:
Spider mites can be a scary situation for your grow to be facing. If left untreated these nasty insects will destroy your entire grow and suck the life straight out of your plants.
But by identifying spider mites quickly, then you reduce the potential damage to your grow!

Not sure if this was the right section. I apologize if it’s not.
Working on a project for a design studio. On their work page, they want a gallery that works as a lightbox when clicked. So far, all good. The problem is that this gallery contains both images AND video. I thought this would be a simple request, but I can’t implement the video part. Just images it’s good, but since you can only pick one “media” on the lightbox link (because it’s cms), using both has been more challenging than I expected. Ideally, they both live in the same gallery, and when clicked on the thumbnails, the lightbox opens, and with the arrows you can navigate to the prev/next independently if it’s a video or an image. Any ideas on how I can do this? I feel like there should be a native workaround, as it is such a standard and old technique on the web, but I can’t find anything online. Thx

This New report discovers that majority of Windows 10 laptop Manufacturers greatly hypes the battery life estimates on their devices – but there’s good news for Apple Macbook users.
If you think your laptop battery runs out quicker than it used to – you could be right.
New research from one of the UK’s top watchdogs has found that the battery life claimed by laptop manufacturers often falls drastically short.
Big brands such as HP, Dell and Lenovo are all affected, however anyone with an Apple MacBook could be in luck.
The HP Pavilion 14-al115na promised nine hours of battery, but only gave four hours 25 minutes, with the Lenovo Yoga 510 only living for two hours seven minutes instead of the promised five hours.
Which? testing found a number of high-profile laptops did not fare as well as expected
Of course, the amount of battery life you get from any device is reliant on what exactly you are using it for.
Several of the companies mentioned in the report have hit back against Which?’s findings, claiming that providing accurate battery life estimates is often extremely challenging.
Dell said, “It’s difficult to give a specific battery life expectation that will directly correlate to all customer usage behaviours because every individual uses their PC differently – it’s similar to how different people driving the same car will get different gas mileage depending on how they drive.”
Overall, Which? suggests always doing extra research before you buy a laptop and find yourself feeling short-changed.
“It’s vital to look past manufacturer claims and dig a little deeper to find out what kind of battery life you can really expect from your laptop,” the site said

I absolutely love this game. Any music based game like this, guitar hero and rock band, are my favorite kind of games to play and this is the best. I love the flow, the look of the game, the controls, and it is awesome when you get into a fast paced part of a song and she starts gliding, so so cool. Absolutely recommend! Prepare to have some fun When I saw the switch to 3D for the first time, I was sure it would ruin the game. I couldn’t be more wrong.

Melody’s Escape 2 Direct Play:
If you want a chill rhythm game to lose yourself in, this is it. This game does a fantastic job of constructing an appropriate track for each song, much better than others I’ve seen. Unlike Audiosurf or its sequel, it doesn’t complicate the rhythm experience by layering other unnecessary mechanics over it. It’s just a rhythm game and it does that very well. The visuals are absolutely stunning; it nails the neon vibe perfectly and Melody’s movements are poetry in motion. It takes a little practise to get used to the visuals and how they line up with the music, but once you get it down, you’re flying. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right away.

An online platform for women to anonymously share traumatic relational testimonies, and its impact on our lives and relationships as a form of self-healing, and as a means to motivate others.
Stories are voluntarily submitted by women to shed light on current or previous relationships in hopes of preventing others from entering into similar situations, and to empower those currently experiencing the same.
“Information is the key to transformation. The quality of your life cannot be better than the quality of information available to you.” Sam Adeyemi. There is a wealth of amazing literature to promote healthy relationships such as the 5 Love Language: The Secret to Love That Last by Gary Chapman.
Please refer to the resource section for more. While many people learn best by reading the facts and seeing the evidence behind healthy relationship dynamics, many people learn best by hearing, seeing and reading how others have overcome challenges through testimonies. Let these testimonies transform your life by reading about raw experiences.
Some of these stories have never been told or told to this extent and for the writers themselves, sharing them in detail is therapeutic. “Sharing our stories with others, gives our pain, and suffering purpose. It offers hope to those who may not have any. It strengthens both them and us. Although we may be left with scars, the pain subsides, and the wound closes. We grow stronger, our character builds, and we become healthier than we have ever been before.”– Unknown
Meet the founder
This initiative came about talking to a group of women about where we are now, where we are trying to go, and most importantly where we have been in relation to our goals. A theme that emerged was how previous relationships have impacted our lives, and how we all have a story to tell.
I have written for almost 20 years, and have only started sharing publicly as of the past few years, infrequently. As a young professional I have always felt that depending on what I’m writing about, it doesn’t always come across as politically correct.
Freedom of speech is hardly free. What we say has the potential to impact the rest of our lives, and the lives of others as well. Likewise, opinions are more criticized and publicized than ever by way of social media. For those who write for healing, these are oftentimes barriers to sharing our experiences with complete transparency.
When we write anonymously about our Hurt, we Help others Heal through our transparency by allowing them to see that there are more similarities in our stories than differences. We are enabled to heal by expressing ourselves freely. We don’t have to exclude those parts of our story that we always leave out. The parts that have caused guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear of repercussions and etc.
“Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted.” -Jules Renard

We’re still darting around listening to the awesome, fun-filled new single from Stockholm’s Vigiland, and decided we wanted to hear more from the pair. Check out our grilling with them below – and be sure to listen to ‘Pong Dance’ if you get the chance.
Hey guys, glad to have you. Could you tell us a little about yourself, where you’re from and what you do?
We are two guys from a small town in Sweden called “Västervik”. Otto is 21, and Claes is 19. We have produced music for 5-6 years.
Do you get noticed a lot around where you live?
Yeah, but not in a bad way. We love our fans!
You’ve just released, ‘Pong Dance’ with an extremely entertaining music video – tell us more about the track.
We wanted to mix country vibes with a Vigiland touch. And also to tell a pretty fun story that could make a fun video as well. And we think the result speaks for itself!
Did you predict becoming big at all or is this all just for a bit of fun?
Haha, not at all! We are so blessed, and we have to keep reminding ourselves that it’s for real!
We wanna hear all about your plans for the future. Any secret collabs in the works, any less secret ones you can tell us about?
We well release new tour dates really, really soon! And we’ve got 2 new singles that is the best ones we ever produced.
I think 2016 is going to be a Vigiland year 😉
Finally, tell us about the most random thing to happen to you whilst on stage…
Haha, Claes got shot by a confetti cannon in the back of his head – and nearly passed out, haha!

Victoria's Secret legend Alessandra Ambrosio might be retiring from the annual VS Fashion Show, according to fan accounts on social media. Fashionista reports that multiple fashion bloggers have taken to Twitter and Instagram to share that Alessandra will be hanging up her wings and walking the VS catwalk for the final time this year.
If true, this is definitely a huge deal, as Alessandra has become an iconic model for the brand. She has walked in the VS Fashion Show for over a decade, and has broken records like wearing the heaviest wings the brand has ever created. In addition to being a classic face of the VS Fashion Show, Alessandra was also chosen as a PINK brand ambassador in 2006. And despite working with other brands (like Jordache and Jacquie Aiche), there's no doubt that her work with Victoria's Secret has made her a fashion icon.
At this time, Alessandra has not commented on whether or not this year's VS Fashion Show will be her last, but we'll be paying extra attention to her looks during the show on Tuesday, November 28. After all, if this is her final walk as an angel, it's bound to be incredibly epic.

There's something intriguing about old abandoned buildings to me; they're hauntingly beautiful and I know they carry several lifetimes of stories. I find myself wondering about the people who lived inside, the hopes, dreams and ultimate failures that led to the demise of the place and the overall history of the land and building. These places are almost always ignored, sometimes reviled, but I'm trying to pay homage to these relics of the past and their architectural and historical beauty.
This is the original piece of artwork I created using mixed media techniques including acrylic paints, pens, pastels and layers of vintage documents with my photography.
Specifications: • 4" x 4" in a natural wood floating frame that measures 5" x 5" x 1.5" • art is signed, backside titled/signed with artist info • art is sealed with a UV protective satin varnish • wired and ready to hang but also stands on own on shelf, mantle, etc.

4 plot ratio
and allowable height of up to 5 storeys.
With the central business district (CBD) growing in Phnom Penh residential properties with low plot ratios
will phase out.
Generally, it's 24 to 36 months, according the specific situation of a real estate enterprise; x(i)--monthly land selling growth on i-th month, i = 1, 2, t; y--average plot ratio
As such, the typical plot ratio
calculation did not apply to the overall footprint.
For instance, an average site of grade-one land for commercial use with a plot ratio
of 7 when the existing tenant is a state enterprise may have a base land price roughly around:
Architecturally, little dialogue exists between the faces of these homes, and with further regulations commonly limiting each footprint to a 50 per cent plot ratio
, many houses turn inwards to conceal courtyards, atria and internal facades that express more than those seen externally.
80 ha Confirmed List site at Jalan Lam Huat (Plot A) is zoned for Business-2 development and has a 20-year tenure with a maximum permissible gross plot ratio
Mok Wei Wei adopted the concept and, in spite of the statutory height restrictions, he effortlessly achieves a plot ratio
In late 2001, an international competition was held for the design of a 50-storey public housing project (with a plot ratio
of 1:8), on the edge of the city.
The project will have a 29:1 plot ratio
, which exceeds CBD planning controls, but has been approved because the building meets the requirement of delivering public benefit.
So the tall solution was accepted and the site's plot ratio
of 4:l has allowed the tower to have 43 storeys, flanked by a pair of terraces of flats formed as town houses.
And then, even symbolic gestures must comply with the regulatory framework, which included in this case an absolute height limit and street-wall requirement along Macquarie Street, a sun-angle plane designed to guarantee minimum solar access to the Botanic Gardens opposite, a podium requirement on Hunter Street and a plot ratio

Piers Morgan, 55, was the first of two celebrities who took part in the festive special of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Host Jeremy Clarkson, 60, welcomed him to the stage and took swipes at the Good Morning Britain star as the pair joked about their rivalry. The journalist was playing for his chosen charity and he was hoping to win a good amount of cash to donate, though the ITV quiz show presenter humiliated the broadcaster when he said he wouldn’t scoop £1million.
Introducing the journalist, the host said made a jibe about Piers, saying: “The next contestant is someone with whom I have had a few disagreements over the years.
“Come on, it’s Christmas so let’s put all that behind us and play nicely as we welcome the simply awful human being, Piers Morgan,” he joked.
When the player then entered the studio, Jeremy told his guest: “I’m just reading what it said on the autocue.
“It did not say that on the autocue,” the broadcaster hit back as he laughed nervously to which the quizmaster replied: “It did say that on the autocue.
“You should have seen what I wrote, it was way worse,” the former Top Gear star remarked before going on to inform viewers of who the player was.
Refereeing to his job, the game show master said: “You’re a daytime television host,” but his colleague disagreed.
“I’m a breakfast TV star, yes,” the journalist declared as he tried to put the former Top Gear star in his place.
“Um, daytime,” the host replied, then going on to inform the broadcaster of how proceedings were going to play out.
“I need to talk you through the rules because you’re usually in bed when this show is on,” the quiz show presenter said.
The quiz show presenter asked the journalist: “Which of these world champion racing drivers has not been a teammate of Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1?”
There were four options for Piers to chose from, which included Kimi Räikkönen, Nico Rosberg, Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button.
Unsure as to the correct answer and having used his lifelines, the broadcaster went for the latter as he made a complete guess.
Unfortunately, Kimi Räikkönen was the correct answer and this meant the Good Morning Britain star had to leave the table.
Before he did, Jeremy told the outspoken journalist: “You’ve humiliated yourself. And you’ve cost yourself £15,000.
“But actually very nobly, credit where credit is due, you’re going to make up the difference. I’m trying to think of a positive.
“You did make it to £4,000 all on your own, then everybody else helped you the rest of the way. You were brave to come on and I was brave to have you.
“We’ve embodied the Christmas spirit,” the host continued before showing Piers the way out of the studio.

Group will advise union, administration on recovery services for students
The Concordia Student Union (CSU) is launching its first addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery task force.
The CSU addiction task force is composed of five students whose mandate is to implement new addiction-harm reducing initiatives on Concordia’s campus.
The task force will be funded by the student life initiative budget, which the student life coordinator holds in order to implement any initiative for student life, including the upcoming Rapid HIV Testing Clinic.
“Addiction impacts students in a lot of different ways; it impacts their academics, it impacts their involvement in student life on campus,” said Michele Sandiford, the CSU student life coordinator and member of the task force. “We think that it is important to give them a space where they can thrive in school and thrive in the community.”
This issue is particularly important to Sandiford, who has been in recovery for two years. When she was elected as a CSU executive, she made this project part of her mandate. She said this year’s executive team has been interested in supporting mental health issues, giving her the necessary support to achieve her goal.
“For now, we really are just a body that makes recommendations to the CSU and the university, and we’re trying to implement some sort of resources or programing,” said Sandiford. “It’s about establishing recommendations for what might work for students.”
At the moment, the CSU addiction task force is a pilot project in development, while they determine what is already available to students on campus and what they might need in the future. While the launch date of the project is still unknown, the team will continue to discuss its primary focus during their weekly meetings. They also started looking into ways to promote their cause.
“We’re looking at space, we’re looking at resources, accommodations that can be made for students, and ways that we can support them,” Sandiford said. “It might be something like peer support or better access to resources.”
The team of five, including Sandiford, whose other members have not yet been revealed, is composed of students that have backgrounds in addiction recovery or have specific interest in harm-reducing or addiction treatment.
In order to maximize the task force’s impact on students in need, the group “[goes] over research, what’s already available for students, what can be made available, and from the personal experience of the members of the committee or task force,” Sandiford said. “If [students] have specific ideas for things that they might need, we’re happy to have that information brought to us,” she added.
Sandiford hopes the team will be able to bring the right help to Concordia students. She also hopes to offer students easy access to the proper assistance that many of the team’s members had a chance to get or are still going through.

A previous version of this article included the sentence “The Concordia Student Union (CSU) is launching its first addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery centre.” The sentence now reads: “The Concordia Student Union (CSU) is launching its first addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery task force.” In addition, the sentence “Since the task force is not fully operating yet, Sandiford advised students needing help with addiction to seek counselling for the moment,” has been removed to ensure clarity and accuracy. The Concordian regrets the errors.

This was the start of things to make a fireman smile. I done a fireman's helmet too. But the picture got lost of it. Hay, it did prove that sometimes you don't need to know someone very good & can make a preson smile with a gift. I used size 3 & size 5 thread to make this. It's under 2 inches high.
That is a very interesting piece of tatting! :)
Thankyou God's Kid. I wanted to make one cause I knew it would be a great way to make firemen smile.
I'm glad you like it. You never know what I'll come up with next. But it's fun to see what everyone is.
