"I can do it," she said. "I'm qualified. I played the game. I know the kids. I love the kids."
Those were the words Natalie Randolph spoke as she was introduced as Coolidge High School football coach this weekend in Washington, D.C.
While not the first female to coach high school level football, Randolph deserves to be congratulated for tossing her name in the hat this past January when the school was looking for a football coach.

How much should you buy / sell spinner items?
What are spinner items?
Spinner items are the things you can win only in the Spin game on PIMD. You need to earn 100 points for one free spin.
Some of the items are rotated out after a few weeks and some are not like the chibis.
For the prizes that rotate: You need collect the 4 themed items and have 5 of each one of the 4. (20 all together) They will then combine and make one item.
Why collect these?
Each of these collectable spinner items are worth 5,000 in stats. If you can collect the 20 and have them combine; it will be worth 250,000 in stats.
What are they worth?
Your first and best option is to trade other people for the spinner items. Lot of people have extra spinner items that are willingly to trade for the spinner item they need.
Your second option is to buy one for a chibis. I would not pay more than that.
How to sell your dorm:
First, I will explain what that means when somebody in chat is saying they are selling their dorm.
When a person wants to sell their dorm, this does not mean they want to sell their account, they are actually selling all the items on display in their dorm room.
To view these items, you would have to click the person’s profile and then use the “Enter Room” button.
To purchase or trade:
In order to purchase these items, you will first need to friend the person.
Open a chat with the person and hit the trade button.
Why are they selling their dorm?
Lots of people like to collect the whole dorm room theme and sell them for bentos.
It usually takes quite a bit of time to collect a whole themed room and it’s not easy.
Whole themed dorm room prices will vary. It will depend on rarity and what level the pieces are at.
Furniture items are usually exchanged for bentos.
The 499 & 999 items are going to be the most expensive. 999 items are a minimum of 15 bentos and higher.
I have seen 999 item go for 70 bentos. (I think that’s too high though) but level does play a major factor in how much something sells for.
499 & 999 are also the hardest to obtain or win.
A 499 item is going to be around 10 bentos (maybe higher)
A bed or desk – around 2 to 5 bentos.
The items that don’t level up aren’t worth even 1 bento. Those are the floors, wallpaper and some of the wall hangings.
The lamp, table, shelf, shelf items, chair and other floor item can usually start around 1 to 5 bentos (maybe higher depending on level and rarity.)

Press release: Monitoring biodiversity with sound: how machines can enrich our knowledge
No. 115 - 18.06.2019
Research team lead by Göttingen scientist compares traditional and modern survey methods
For a long time, ecologists have relied on their senses when it comes to recording animal populations and species diversity. However, modern programmable sound recording devices are now the better option for logging animal vocalisations. Scientists lead by the University of Göttingen have investigated this using studies of birds as an example. The results were published in the journal Ecological Applications.
"Data collection by people is less reliable, provides only approximate values, and is difficult to standardise and verify," says first author Dr Kevin Darras from the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Göttingen. For comparison purposes, the international research team prepared a systematic overview based on data from previous bird studies. In addition to the collected sound recordings, they also compared the usefulness of both methods.
The result: sound recording devices can provide the same data as those obtained by people during bird “point counts” (the standard survey method where a person logs the birds they see or hear). Sound recordings can be used to measure population densities and map territories of individual species. They can also record entire soundscapes and better measure animal activity over long periods of time. "In a previous meta-analysis, we found that recording devices could detect and identify at least as many species as traditional ornithologists using standard techniques," says Darras. There are further advantages: enormous amounts of data can be checked, archived and automatically evaluated by computer programs to identify animal species.
"There are now very inexpensive, small devices that can record huge amounts of data over long periods of time and large spaces. In an increasingly data-driven time, they are the better choice." In addition to the systematic comparison, the study also provides a guide for scientists who sample the noises of animal populations acoustically. The authors give an overview of the currently available recording devices and discuss their modes of operation.

By Simon Fischler
What happened in San Bernardino, California was an act of Islamic Terrorism. Saying otherwise is an affront to those who perished at the hands of the religion of peace.
I don't understand. If Americans are so willing to condemn the Catholic Church for its transgressions, why are so many Americans afraid to tell the truth when it comes to Islam?
If liberal Americans believe that Israel and the Jewish people must look in the mirror when it comes to Israel's actions in the defense of her citizens while facing down Colonial, Islamic fascism, then why can't these supposed liberal minded people make the same demands of Islam?
The gun epidemic in America has been what it is since Americas beginning.
While I do support the second amendment, I also know that there is absolutely no reason for most Americans to be able to buy assault riffles legally.
In truth, America should look to Israel for help on gun control laws just as America should look to Israel for help on health care legislation.
But, no matter what laws are passed, guns will still be able to be obtained. And if Islamic fundamentalists want to get guns to strike at the heart of America, they will.
The heart of the problem is not laws but the social fabric of American society.
Let's be honest, America was once the greatest nation on earth. That's saying a lot because I love Israel with all of my heart.
America under president Harry Truman did what no other country in the world has done in history. They behaved, through foreign policy, in a manner that appeared detrimental to the well being of American interests, just to do what was right.
In the end it did provide America with one of her greatest and most steadfast allies, but at the time Truman did not know this.
Truman's recognition of Israel was the morally correct thing to do. But before this moment and since, nations and their leaders did not behave in this fashion.
Truman faced serious repercussions for doing what was morally right. Most notably from Secretary of State George Marshal who was clearly against recognizing Israel's right to statehood.
George Marshal, the former hero general who was incredibly popular, threatened Truman with his resignation if he chose to back Jewish statehood.
It takes the upmost quality of character, something Truman had thanks to his American upbringing and the belief in strong social fabric to commit your country to a cause that is good and morally right instead of thinking only of your nations immediate interests.
Sadly today, if America had to it again, I don't see them doing what is right.
I don't see them committing to carry out the morally correct policy and recognizing the Jewish Nations right to freedom.
Certainly not under Barack Obama, a man who cannot follow his own red-lines.
Today people are so focused on deriding Donald Trump, I certainly don't want him as President. Yet the fail to look at Obama before the presidency.
No credentials that would afford him the right to be president. He was a senator for two seconds. Yet Americans blindly gave him the reigns to be the leader of the free world, myself included.
Is the American president still the leader of the free world today?I don't think so.
Today the president of France has proven to have more leadership qualities than Obama.
This is a sad state of affairs.
You want an end to gun violence, look to the social fabric of America. This is how you fix the problem with guns.
The social identity of American citizens has been raped and pillaged by bullshit uber-liberal Academia and Political Correctness.
This world of make believe born in American academia has torn apart the country that did so much to fight for freedom and lost so many of its sons and daughters fighting to fix the world in World War One and World War Two.
Americans have lost their way thanks to the constant mantra they are being fed of being illegitimate.
To many Americans today just don't know that it was inside of the America they have been taught to hate, that African-Americans and Jewish-Americans were able to come together, shoulder to shoulder, and were able to fight to create a better future for themselves.
These victories have been sold off by asinine political correctness.
Yes they had to FIGHT for this better America. Yes people were lost, but today things are better to the point where we have an African-American President.
I hope and pray that America and Americans (some of the greatest people I know) will find their way back to the path.
Without them, this world is in deep trouble.

About Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio
Delivering an infectious blend of soul, jazz and rhythm & blues, the DELVON LAMARR ORGAN TRIO proves to be a band on the rise. Their tantalizing grooves, lush sounds and vibrant jam sessions are always fresh with improvisations strengthened by their undeniable chemistry. This Seattle based trio — Lamarr on B-3 organ, Jimmy James on guitar and Keith Laudieri on drums — evokes a classic instrumental sound with a pioneering, virtuosic sensibility all its own on debut LP Close But No Cigar. Featured on Seattle’s KEXP’s “Local Artist Spotlight” in July 2017 followed by a live performance at Upstream Music Festival broadcast by KEXP that has garnered over 5 million views, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio has captured the attention of audiences around the world. The band put out their album independently in 2016 and Colemine Records gave it a wide release in March 2018 to critical acclaim.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio was formed in the Spring of 2015 with the help of Amy Novo, Delvon’s wife and band manager. She told her husband she would take over his music career and all he had to do was find the musicians, create and play music. They started with a weekly residency at The Royal Room in Seattle for the first year then self-released their debut album, playing short tours across the Pacific Northwest. Now they are headlining shows and spreading their contagious grooves with audiences across the globe. With Delvon’s soulful organ sound, Jimmy’s explosive guitar sound and Keith’s perfect pocket drumming, they have the impeccably unique blend of soul, jazz, rhythm & blues and rock & roll.

I think I've finished making Christmas cards for this year.
I do make multiples of some of these, while others are singles. Most of them are in the mail.
This is another old wood mounted rubber stamp by Art Impressions from 2001. I stamped it with Versamark ink and silver pearl embossing powder on the dark blue cardstock. The background is a very pretty paper called Sheer Marble Paper by Embossing Arts. I adhered it with vellum tape to the blue cardstock. The sentiment and corner pieces are silver metallic stickers.
I'm pretty sure these supplies are no longer available, but I'm trying to use these supplies I have hoarded for many years.

Still, February's job growth was the largest monthly increase since May, when the effects of the Obama administration's massive stimulus package were at their peak and the government was hiring thousands of temporary census workers.
Improved job growth is good news for President Obama, who said Friday that the nation needed to "keep building on that momentum." And the Obama administration used the news to warn against deep spending cuts being pushed by congressional Republicans.
Noting that there was still more economic work to be done, top White House economic advisor Austan Goolsbee said the administration would seek to "find ways to reduce spending, but not at the expense of derailing progress in the job market."
Ben S. Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, told lawmakers this week that there was "increased evidence that a self-sustaining recovery in consumer and business spending may be taking hold."
Initial claims for unemployment insurance fell last week to 368,000, the lowest level in nearly three years, the Labor Department reported. Large retailers reported sales were up 4.2% in February compared with the same month last year.
The Fed projects the economy will grow 3.5% to 4% this year.
Unrest in the Middle East looms as a potential problem for the recovery. A sustained rise in prices for oil and other commodities would threaten the recovery, Bernanke said.
But, Bernanke added, he did not expect the rise in oil prices caused by the Middle East turmoil to last.
Times staff writer Walter Hamilton contributed to this report.

Black bear spotted 'bounding' through Woodbury
Two witnesses reported seeing a black bear roaming Wednesday near Woodbury Lakes.
According to a police report, a Woodbury woman called at 5:18 a.m. to report seeing a bear "bounding" northbound through a wetland area west of Woodbury Lakes and east of the vacant State Farm Insurance Co. building property. The bear was last seen moving northwest in a wooded area north of a swamp.
Police were unable to locate the bear, but encountered a man walking his dog who also reported seeing the bear. The man told police the bear had traveled across Hudson Road from the swampy area south of Woodbury Lakes.
Police said the bear might have wandered away down a large storm water culvert under Interstate 94, which an officer said appeared large enough to conceal a bear. The culvert also was in the bear's general direction of travel.
Look for more on the story in next week's print edition.

|Favoured haunt: The Binh Minh Jazz Club is a popular destination for young people who love the songs of composer Trinh Cong Son.
by Bui Nguyen To Hanh
Ha Noi's young adults enjoy a diverse range of music, from old-timey Vietnamese ballads to the latest Billboard hits. I explored a few live music coffee shops and bars to experience the musical culture in the millennium-old capital first-hand.
When talking about timeless Vietnamese musicians, the first artist to come to mind can easily be Trinh Cong Son. Although he passed away almost 15 years ago, his music is still sought-after by both old and young listeners.
Many cafes designed specifically to play his music have sprouted up around Ha Noi in recent years, like Trinh Ca Cafe (233 To Hieu Street).
Upon entering Trinh Ca, I realized that this place intended to have a Japanese teahouse theme. A modest goldfish pond, surrounded by round white pebbles, claimed a small corner outside the shop. Above it, a golden bust of Trinh Cong Son was etched into the wall.
Prior to entering the shop, customers were requested to take off their shoes, just like how it would be done at a traditional teahouse.
The cafe was rather small, with a low ceiling and wooden floors. The small, minimalist tables and soft floor pillows added to the Zen theme and saved space. Paintings of Trinh Cong Son hung on the walls, and some of his well-recognised lyrics were carefully hand-painted on the ceiling.
Customers exchanged conversations in low tones while the signature husky, raspy voice of singer Khanh Ly sang Trinh's songs in the background.
Cuong, a server at the cafe, emphasised that Trinh Ca differentiated itself from other Trinh cafes with its teahouse theme. The respectful teahouse complimented the depth of Trinh's music, which helped customers feel peaceful and helped them look inward.
I arrived at about 7:30pm on a Sunday, the night of live music. By 8pm, the crowd started rolling in, which to my pleasant surprise, consisted mostly of young faces. Customers came mostly for live Trinh music, according to Cuong.
Many young guests were first timers. One of them came because of his girlfriend's recommendation. He scoffed at the notion that Trinh music was only for older adults: "Our generation likes Trinh too. His songs are still significant."
|Music to our ears: Saxophonist Hong Son performs. — VNS Photos Truong Vi
The musicians also seemed to agree that Trinh's music was a rare instance where listeners were both young and old. Unlike other old-timey composers, Trinh Cong Son still has a big following of fans in their twenties.
Van Dao, the lead guitarist, said that he had listened to and played Trinh's music since a young age and had played at Hanoian cafes for 12 years. He was glad that despite the long time these songs had been around, the listeners at his live gigs still added a youthful vitality to the show.
Thanh Huong, the lead singer, noted that the life of musicians who go from bar to bar to perform could be rough, but admitted, "Singing at Trinh cafes really doesn't have a bad side. We do it because we are passionate about his music, and we enjoy playing it."
One listener, Anh, disclosed he came many Sundays to Trinh Ca because he was a big fan of Thanh Huong's voice.
"The bar plays great music. I like the teahouse theme and it's so close to my house."
One of Anh's companions, also a first timer, added, "Young people nowadays like to go to bars with the loud booming music. That kind of music gives me a headache. I like the atmosphere here a lot more."
Though some young adults might turn to Trinh's music to avoid the booming sounds of mainstream music, there is another alternative.
For those seeking some balance between old-timey music and overplayed top hits, Binh Minh's Jazz Club (1 Trang Tien Street) is the place to go. The music is a mix between the jazzy sounds of New Orleans and clever Vietnamese themes, which in turn creates a harmonious balance between the old and the new, the East and the West.
The club reserved a generous space for the stage, unlike at Trinh Ca's. The bar's name in red neon light cast a soft, red tone throughout the bar, making the guests feel as if they were in a smoky New Orleans jazz club. The audience was thin at 9pm, but gradually got thicker as the session proceeded. Both foreigners and locals could be seen bobbing their heads in tune with the music. The walls were filled with pictures of the club's musicians, as well as influential jazz artists who had performed with the band throughout the club's history.
With the exception of seasoned saxophonist Hong Son, the rest of the band were young in their 20s and early 30s. The saxophone improvisations were often exquisite. Surprised faces and satisfied nods from knowledgeable jazz ears were often seen at the bar throughout the night. The band played a variety of soulful, upbeat songs.
The band's young pianist, Ngoc Vuong, said he had been experimenting with jazz since he was a teen.
"The people who come here have very refined taste and are also well educated. There really isn't the bad influence that you often see at more popular clubs," he said.
The club's cashier, a woman in her early 20s named Hang, said her love for rock somehow led her to work at this club: "I am actually a rock lover, but since jazz gave birth to this genre, it's not a huge difference."
While jazz still has only a modest following in the youth community, Hang said it was gaining recognition as the parent of many mainstream genres that young adults loved, such as rock and roll, hip-hop, R&B and pop.
Young Hanoians' music taste seems to cover all colours of the musical spectrum, from old-timey music to Vietnamese jazz to the latest hits. Thus, young people are not backward or conservative simply because they listen to Trinh Cong Son. More often, they listen as a way to return to a more Vietnamese sound that can heal souls with its complex meaning. Similarly, the young adults who prefer jazz or more modern genres such as rap or electronic should not be grouped as "delinquents" or "rootless". Ha Noi's young adults belong to the global generation, brave and individualistic enough to find their favourite sounds in this quickly changing city. — VNS

The ones that I have picked and pressed here are layered into the earring through a process that takes several steps to get the desired effect. These are very unusual earrings that will surely noticed.
The earrings are 3 inches from the piercing in your ear or a bit less than 2 1/4 from the bottom of your ear. Each earring comes with a gold filled ear wire.

Volvo Cars president and chief executive Håkan Samuelsson (below, right) has told a European Commission conference in Brussels that governments and auto makers should join hands in sharing traffic data in order to improve global road safety. If such data is made available, road authorities will be able to use it to better manage road traffic and make their roads safer.
Speaking at the First European Conference on Connected and Automated Driving in the Belgian capital, Samuelsson said, “Sharing anonymized data related to traffic safety in real time can provide a strong boost to overall traffic safety, while safeguarding the privacy of individual road users. At Volvo, we started doing exactly this in Sweden and Norway two years ago, in collaboration with local authorities.
“We think this type of data sharing should be done for free, for the greater good and to the wider benefit of society. It saves lives, time, and taxpayer money. I call on other car makers and governments to work with us on realizing this type of data sharing as widely as possible.”
In 2015, Volvo Cars started a collaboration on sharing safety data with the road administration authorities in Sweden and Norway. All Volvo cars in a certain area share anonymized information about road friction from their anti-skid systems via a cloud based network. The information is transferred in real time to other Volvo drivers, notifying them of icy road conditions. The same information is also shared with the local road administrations so that they quickly can address icy road conditions. The same approach is also used to warn drivers when another vehicle turns on its hazard lights, which may indicate a potential dangerous situation on the road ahead.
These connected car technologies, Slippery Road Alert and Hazard Light Alert, are standard on all SPA-based vehicles on sale in Sweden and Norway, including the Volvo XC90, S90, V90, and the new XC60 models.
Moving on to the subject of automated driving, Samuelsson underlined the need to put safety first when developing a regulatory framework for autonomous cars: “When it comes to autonomous driving, it is important that the user interface is crystal clear about the role of the driver.
“I am concerned about the so-called Level 3 autonomous driving modes. In this mode, the car is in charge of the driving, yet the driver must still be prepared to take over in case of emergency, which could be a matter of a few seconds. Volvo considers this Level 3 driving mode unsafe, and will thus skip this level of autonomous driving.”
Consequently, when Volvo launches its first autonomous cars in 2021, they will be at SAE Level 4, which is defined as the vehicle being driven in automated mode in all but a few environments, such as severe weather, completely unsupervised on applicable roads. This means that when enabled, driver attention is not required and the car will be able to manage emergency situations and bring itself into a safe state without driver interaction. Volvo says it will assume complete liability while the car is in autonomous mode.

Dubai – this name itself conjures up the image of high life and opulence! After all, Dubai is the most elegant and stylish of all seven emirates in the UAE. It offers a fantastic spectrum of premium attractions and experiences and this list is quite endless. So, if you are looking for a grandiose tour of Dubai, here is a list of luxury things to do in Dubai which makes your trip planning easier.
See Dubai on a Premium City Tour
This is undoubtedly one of the most convenient ways to hit all the must-visit spots in Dubai. It mostly involves a chauffeured ride in a private vehicle that is exclusively arranged for you and your group. The well-crafted itinerary further ensures that you tick off all of the region’s iconic landmarks, such as the tallest of its kind Burj Khalifa, the exuberant ever Sheikh Zayed Road, the historical Al Bastakiya Quarter and the pulsating Dubai Marina. If you possess an international driving license, go ahead and get behind the wheels of a supercar for that much-needed luxury and amusement in your Dubai exploration.
Sign up for an Aerial Sightseeing Adventure
If the sightseeing by a private vehicle is not enough, you can heighten your sightseeing experience on an aerial tour of Dubai. Consider booking a helicopter tour in Dubai; it lasts for about 20 minutes or 30 minutes and promises you unrestricted views over Dubai’s city skyline and beyond. For added fun and thrill, there is seaplane tour wherein the aircraft takes off from the water. Not to mention, it is one of the coolest ways to see the captivating sights of Dubai and beyond.
Admire Dubai’s Coastline with a Private Yacht Cruise
Seeing Dubai from water is equally enthralling! There are ample ways to do it, but opting for a private luxury yacht rental in Dubai is probably the most refined option of all. It will glide you along the gleaming waters of Dubai aboard an ultra-luxurious yacht, allowing you to take in Dubai from a distinct standpoint. With all high-end amenities plus state of the art facilities for water activities made available onboard, it is up to you whether you choose to gently waft past the spectacular sights or enjoy a super exciting cruise. The best thing is that you get to hire a yacht for an hour or two or even an entire day with all dining and entertainment arranged as part of your cruise.

Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is the second-highest ranking member of the House energy committee. This is a key committee evaluating the dangers of, and alternatives to, fossil fuels.
And yet, in a documentary about to be released by the BBC, Blackburn was asked what scientific evidence would persuade her that climate change was a threat. She replied “I don’t think you will see me being persuaded.” She also claimed that the earth had cooled in the last 13 years by a degree F, which is nonsense. Finally, when asked if she accepts the theory of evolution she said “No I do not.”
Upton Sinclair famously said “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” Funny, I guess I thought Blackburn’s salary was coming from the American people, but I must be mistaken.

The Evil Seed era is the main setting and most prominent era in the Astral Lineage series timeline. It began in 1584 and ended in 1612. It was revived in 2018 after the shards of Soul Edge where brought back together, bringing life to the cursed blade once again.
Prominent Timeline of EventsEdit
- The Evil Seed was released after Siegfried took the cursed blade, Soul Edge, and it accepted him as host. This released a bright beam into the sky, bringing death and destruction to the earth.
- Siegfried battled Nightmare, destroying Soul Edge and defeating the Azure Knight. The cursed blade retreated into Astral Chaos and laid dormant for 17 years. However, Malfested brought by the Evil Seed, continued to roam the earth.
- The cursed sword is destroyed once and for all by the main heroes, this brings an end to the Evil Seed and the heroes are rewarded by Soul Calibur, being sent far into the future to start a new life free of any threat from the Evil Seed.
- Over 400 years later, the Evil Seed was released once again after all the shards of Soul Edge were brought back together. Once again death and destruction was brought to the earth as malfested roamed the streets.
- Although The Evil Seed was revived in 2018, The Evil Seed era is used to refer to the characters from the 16th and 17th century, differentiating them from their modern-day, Crystalline counterparts.

Denizens of the city of Redwood City showed up en masse for an organized rally in front of the San Mateo historical museum about the current state of the United States under the administration of Donald J. Trump.
As I wandered around the crowd, taking in the faces of the old and young protesting silently or actively, I wondered about the supporters of Trump. Leading up the elections in November, I commonly saw a man walking around the area, pittbull on a leash, wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the message “Trump that Bitch”. Where was he this day?
If we take back the mood of the nation, a thing I am 100% invested in, people who are disillusioned and supportive of Trump don’t go away, they simply go silent. So, while the rally gave me such joy to see a community meeting in unison on the topic of openness and fairness, I understand that this is only the first step. As has been expressed many times, we need to win the hearts and minds of the people, this time not the Iraqi people but our own.

Large grants available for arts journalism – a rare opportunity! Details below.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 6, 2011) Knight Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) today are launching an eight-city competition seeking new models for local arts journalism in the digital age. The initiative seeks to rethink how traditional media systems function, harnessing the latest tools and technology to make the transition to the new information environment.
Just as cultural institutions are pursuing new ways to engage audiences, information portals are also seeking innovative methods to cover, inspire and engage communities through the arts and to provide platforms for high quality cultural criticism and coverage.
Winners of the Knight/NEA Community Arts Journalism Challenge will use the latest tools for storytelling and engaging readers to create model programs that could be replicated in other communities.
“Arts journalism is essential to the kind of vibrant communities we all want to live in,” said Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. “With the changing media landscape, we have a real opportunity here to find new, engaging and sustainable models.”
NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman said, “The challenges facing arts journalism are well known. However, no clear solutions have yet emerged to sustain locally relevant coverage. We are counting on the bold and innovative thinking in these eight communities to begin showing a path forward.”
Applications are being accepted for projects in the following cities: Akron, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., Macon, Ga., Charlotte, N.C., Miami, Fla., Philadelphia, Pa., San Jose/ Silicon Valley, Calif., and St. Paul, Minn. Although the applicant may be from outside these eight cities, the proposed project must benefit at least one of these communities directly.
Up to $100,000 is available per project: first round winners will receive up to $20,000 to create an “action plan” for developing their idea, and will be eligible for up to $80,000 in the contest’s second round to implement it.
Individuals, non-profits and businesses are eligible to apply. Partnerships between legacy and emerging media organizations are encouraged. There is no limit to the number of applications an organization can submit.
“No idea is too unusual,” Scholl said. “Embedding a nonprofit reporter in a for-profit news organization? Creating a new collective to share professional work? Asking the community to decide which arts stories are best and put up the money to cover those? Have better ideas that never would have occurred to us on our own? Fill out the application form, and send them in. The best ideas may well be the ones that stretch our thinking.”
For application materials and more information, visit http://www.artsjournalism.org. The application deadline is Thursday, August 18, 2011.
Knight and NEA staff will answer questions about the challenge during a live, online chat at 2 p.m. July 27th at http://www.ArtsJournalism.org. No registration is required, though you can go to ArtsJournalism.org to sign up for a reminder.

When you write a cookbook blog, you often find that you are the recipient of cookbooks that your friends bought on a whim. I know this sounds bizarre, but there are some people out there who see no need whatsoever for a thousand cookbooks to peruse. Well their loss is my gain.
Recently, I gained a lovely cookbook from my friend Nanci. Several years ago, she and her husband took a whirlwind trip to Scotland. While they were there, they had dinner at the famous restaurant, The Three Chimneys that was vote one of the world’s top 50 restaurants.
Being dutifully impressed, and filled with vacation largess, they not only ate at The Three Chimneys, but they also bought the book. Recently, without ever having to visit the Isle of Skye myself, I became the inheritor of the cookbook.
Shirley Spear, the cook at The Three Chimneys began her career as a journalist. The job took her to London where she met her husband. As with any journalist living in London, she couldn’t wait to go back to Scotland and open a restaurant. Sure, after being named one of the 50 best restaurants in the world, one might think it was a great idea, but for many years it seemed like a huge catastrophe. But Shirley was determined to make the local ingredients of the Scottish countryside a source of culinary pride.
Now, along with the gift of this cookbook, I also received the menu from 16 August 2004, the night Nanci dined there. I really wanted to start with the Loch Dunvegan Lobster & Langoustines with Peashoot, New Potato & Quail Egg Salad, Lemon & Olive Oil Vinaigrette but alas, the recipe was not included so I went for dessert.
Whisky and Lemon Syllabub with Skye Strawberries
250 ml fresh double cream
Finley grated rind and juice of 1 large lemon
125 g castor sugar
1/2 a measure or I generous tbsp. of your favorite whiskey
Whisk all the ingredients together until holding just form.
Spoon on top of fresh strawberries.
Eat and enjoy.
Did she really have to tell us to enjoy? Now I feel the need to re-visit Scotland. And eat langoustines and syllabub and…

News: And it won't require Red Read Redemption to play it.
Rockstar has announced that the "Undead Nightmare" expansion pack to Red Dead Redemption will be available to download on October 26. After they ante up their $9.99 (or 800 Microsoft Points), players will be able to send John Marston in search of a cure for a zombie plague that has invaded the wild, wild west.
Rockstar has also revealed that the expansion (and all of the previous Red Dead Redemption DLC) will soon shamble into stores as a stand-alone retail release. Titled Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, the compilation will include:
Undead Nightmare Pack
Outlaws to the End Co-Op Mission Pack
Legends and Killers Pack
Liars and Cheats Pack
All Multiplayer Free Roam Modes
Rockstar didn't give the Undead Nightmare retail version a release date as of yet, but they promise it'll be available "soon" for $29.99. The best part is that, like Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Librerty City, it won't require the original Red Dead Redemption to play.
We'll have more soon.

The media is having a field day – as in “battlefield” – following the release of a previously classified memo prepared by Republicans that details alleged FBI and Justice Department surveillance abuses involving onetime Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
The so-called FISA (for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) memo says that a dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele “on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part” of an application for surveillance of Page to look at possible connections with Russia.
“Steele,” the memo says, “was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.”
Is Biden's Vaccine Mandate Unconstitutional?
The memo also reveals that Steele was suspended and later terminated as an FBI source over allegedly unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with that federal law enforcement agency.
Steele’s apparent bias against then-candidate Donald Trump allegedly became clear in September 2016 during a conversation with then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr in which Steele said he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president,” the memo says.
The memo was sent to members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Release of the memo is already drawing criticism from Democrats and FBI officials who argue that it is lacking in certain facts. Democrats are also upset because their own memo on the surveillance allegations has not been released.
According to Fox News, the FBI issued a rebuke over the memo’s release in which the agency expressed “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”
The memo, from the committee’s Majority Staff, said that “our findings…raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain DOJ and FBI interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and…represent a troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the American people from abuses related to the FISA process.”
Days ago, a Rasmussen survey found that a majority of voters think there should be a special prosecutor to investigate the FBI.
In October 2016, a couple of weeks before the November presidential election, “DOJ and FBI sought and received a FIA probable cause order…authorizing electronic surveillance on Carter Page from the FISC,” the memo details.
It appears that an “essential part of the Carter Page FISA application” was a “dossier” compiled by Steele “on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign,” the memo details. “Neither the initial application in October 2016, nor any of the renewals, disclose or reference the role of the DNC, Clinton campaign, or any party /campaign in funding Steele’s efforts,” the memo adds.
The memo has all the ingredients of a major scandal in which it is alleged the FBI and DOJ were “weaponized” as a political tool against Trump, as a candidate and then as president-elect.
Former FBI Director James Comey appears to be trying to downplay the memo’s contents, while Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is having fits. She called Nunes “a stooge for the president.”
One question swirling around release of the memo is whether it will lead to some people losing their jobs. No doubt the memo will generate lots of material for debates between various network news pundits.

More than one in five nurses lack confidence in their colleagues’ ability to spot a deteriorating patient.
Twenty-two per cent of respondents to Nursing Times’s online survey said they were not confident that the staff on their ward who carry out observations were able to identify significant changes in a patient that might indicate their condition was worsening.
More than one third - 35% - said patient observations had got worse over the last year, with the majority saying that was due to staffing levels.
More than half knew of at least one incident in the past month where a patient’s condition had got worse because staff had failed to notice deterioration.
The most commonly cited reasons for these incidents were a lack of staff, inexperienced employees and staff being “too busy”.
The use of technology was also flagged as a cause of worsening standards in observations with more than half of respondents saying digital observation technology made nurses less likely to be able to identify signs of deterioration by themselves.
The survey also suggested that in 17% of wards, few or none of the staff responsible for using patient observation technology had been trained to use it.
Heart of England Foundation Trust corporate nurse at Jo Richmond said the use of technology could distract from the basics of nursing.
She told Nursing Times: “My biggest concern is that it doesn’t tell you if the pulse is irregular or has poor volume, or if the patient’s skin is clammy.”
To ensure observations are thorough, the National Patient Safety Agency has recommended that every trust should have a deterioration recognition group. However, only a quarter of respondents knew about such a group at their trust.
Ms Richmond said her trust had a multidisciplinary group, which set small targets to improve patient safety based on audits of nurses’ observations.
“The important thing is we have got intelligence on the ground to tell us whether our charts are being filled in and observations being done,” she said.
Medway Foundation Trust director of nursing Jacqueline McKenna said her trust was seeing a “turning point” in improving its observations thanks to its deterioration recognition group. She said: “It’s about having good policy, training and education and constant audit.”
Nursing Times ran a similar survey in October 2009. Then, 9% of respondents said they were not confident staff on their ward could carry out observations with competence, compared with 22% this month. However, our anonymous surveying method means that comparisons are not reliable.

The Baha’i Faith in Africa: Establishing a New Religious Movement, 1952-1962
In 1952, there were probably fewer than 200 Baha’is in all of Africa. Today the Baha’i community claims one million followers on the continent. Yet, the Baha’i presence in Africa has been all but ignored in academic studies up to now. This is the first monograph that addresses the establishment of this New Religious Movement in Africa. Discovering an African presence at the genesis of the religion in Iran, this study seeks to explain why the movement found an appeal in colonial Africa during the 1950s and early 1960. It also explores how the Baha’i faith was influenced and Africanized by its new converts. Finally, the book seeks to make sense of the diverse and contradictory American, Iranian, British, and African elements that established a new religion in Africa.

You're a Muslim, so why did you write a book about the founder of Christianity?"
These were the beginning words of a now-viral Fox News interview with American religious scholar Reza Aslan about his new book "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth." As breathtaking as the ignorance of the question was, his calm and measured response was equally breathtaking:
"Well, to be clear, I am a scholar of religions with four degrees, including one in the New Testament, and fluency in biblical Greek, who has been studying the origins of Christianity for two decades, who also just happens to be a Muslim. So, it's not that I'm just some Muslim writing about Jesus, I am an expert with a Ph.D in the history of religions."
His interviewer, Lauren Green, did not stop pressing the issue: "It still begs the question: why would you be interested in the founder of Christianity?"
For Mr. Aslan, it is his "job as an academic," but the basis of her question seems to be that a Muslim would simply not be interested in Jesus. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus is so much a part of Islamic belief that the more accurate question would be: Why wouldn't a Muslim be interested in Jesus?
The Quran mentions Jesus Christ more by name than the Prophet Muhammad himself. There are dozens of verses that speak of Jesus, including his birth (3:45-49), his miracles (5:110), the Last Supper (5:113-115). Chapter 19 is named "Mary" after his mother, and many verses speak very highly of Jesus Christ.
Jesus, as the Quran says, "shall be of the righteous" (3:46). "Peace be upon me the day I was born," says Jesus in the Quran, "and [will be upon me] on the day of my death, and on the day when I shall be raised to life [again]!" (19:33). The Quran also calls upon its readers to remember "she who guarded her chastity, whereupon We breathed into her of Our spirit and caused her, together with her son, to become a symbol [of Our grace] unto all people" (21:91), referring to Mary and Jesus.
As a Muslim, I have been raised with Jesus in my mind, heart and spiritual consciousness, even though I do not worship him as God or part of the Godhood. Indeed, this is the most glaring difference between Islam and Christianity: Islam rejects the divinity of Christ.
Still, the common love for and devotion to Jesus and his basic teachings is something around which Muslims and Christians can come together. One of my favorite Biblical passages is the Sermon on the Mount, and many of the same concepts were expounded by the Prophet Muhammad centuries later. There should be nothing nefarious or suspicious about a Muslim being interested in Jesus.
Though I am not an academic with unimpeachable credentials like Reza Aslan, he seemed to be talking about someone like me when he said, "It's not that I'm some Muslim writing about Jesus," because I have been writing about Jesus and his prominence in Islamic belief for more than a decade.
This should surprise no one. Islam and Muslims have been praising, honoring and loving both Christ and his mother for over 14 centuries. If more people like Fox News' Lauren Green knew that about Islam, such a terribly embarrassing interview, like hers with Reza Aslan, may not have taken place.opinion_commentary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral levosimendan in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This phase II, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, three-period study with 6 months open-label follow-up enrolled adults with ALS and sitting slow vital capacity (SVC) 60%–90 % of predicted from 11 sites in four countries.Patients received levosimendan 1 mg daily, 1 mg two times a day or placebo during three 14-day crossover periods and levosimendan 1–2 mg daily during open-label follow-up. Primary endpoint was sitting SVC; secondary endpoints included supine SVC, ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R), tolerability and safety.Of 66 patients randomised, 59 contributed to the double-blind results and 50 entered open-label follow-up. Sitting SVC was not significantly different between the treatments. In post hoc analysis using period-wise baselines, supine SVC favoured levosimendan over placebo, estimated mean differences from baseline being −3.62% on placebo, +0.77% on levosimendan 1 mg daily (p=0.018) and +2.38% on 1 mg two times a day (p=0.001). Headache occurred in 16.7% of patients during levosimendan 1 mg daily (p=0.030), 28.6% during 1 mg two times a day (p=0.002) and 3.3% during placebo. The respective frequencies for increased heart rate were 5.1% (p=0.337), 18.5% (p=0.018) and 1.7%. No significant differences between the treatments were seen for other adverse events.Levosimendan did not achieve the primary endpoint of improving sitting SVC in ALS. Headache and increased heart rate were increased on levosimendan, although it was otherwise well tolerated. A phase III study to evaluate the longer term effects of oral levosimendan in ALS is ongoing.

The Evolution of the Honda Ridgeline
The Ridgeline was developed as Honda’s first truck for the North American pickup truck market. First produced in 2005 for model year 2006, the Ridgeline was redesigned for 2009 and 2012. After an initial popular start, the truck was discontinued in 2014 but returned to production for the model year 2017. Today, the Honda Ridgeline is considered one of the best trucks on today’s market.
Honda Ridgeline from 2006–2009
The truck had an unusual exterior design with flying buttresses joining the cab to the bed. Other unique features included an industry-first lockable in-bed trunk, a fully independent suspension, and storage space under the rear seat cushions. The dual-action tailgate could be opened either down or to the side.
This mid-size pickup truck was unusual in that it had some car-like aspects, including its unibody frame construction. The Honda Ridgeline was uniquely engineered with a powertrain similar to the Acura MDX‘s but strengthened. All models had a 247-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 transverse-mounted engine and a five-speed automatic transmission.
Able to tow up to 5,000 pounds, the 2006 Ridgeline was Motor Trend’s 2006 Truck of the Year as it combined truck capabilities with a car-quality ride.
The Ridgeline from 2009 to 2014
For the model year 2009, Honda introduced 50 changes and new features intended to make the Ridgeline look and feel bolder. The exterior and interior received new styling and the engine was more powerful. The trailer hitch was standard with all trim levels.
New premium features, like Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® and a rearview backup camera, were available on certain trims. The grille was changed to look similar to the Honda Pilot crossover’s grille. Other exterior changes included updates to the bumpers, headlights, and taillights. A new steering wheel and instrumentation updated the interior.
The V6 engine was modified to offer slightly more power with 250 horsepower; however, the fuel economy stayed the same. A sport model was introduced in 2012, which had a blacked-out grille and 18-inch alloy wheels. Production of the Ridgeline stopped after the 2014 model year.
2017–present Honda Ridgeline models
After a two-year gap, the Honda Ridgeline returned for the model year 2017. Following a more traditional truck design, it no longer has flying buttresses. Without those buttresses providing added strength, the Ridgeline now uses more ultra-high-strength steel.
It has, however, retained its unique features, like the dual-action tailgate, in-bed trunk, and rear-seat storage. It also has a new bed audio system, a first for a pickup truck. Other changes include a bigger bed — although shallower — and a smaller but deeper in-bed trunk.
The new Ridgeline retains the unibody construction but has a more rigid structure. Its platform is based on Honda’s “global light truck platform.” That is similar to the Honda Pilot and other large Honda vehicles but with an extended wheelbase.
It now has a more powerful engine, with 280 hp, plus more safety features. A final change is from a five-speed to a six-speed automatic transmission, although a nine-speed automatic is available. Both front-wheel- and all-wheel-drive options are also available.
One of the best-rated trucks
The Honda Ridgeline has received many awards and high scores. Consumer Reports includes it in its ratings of compact pickup trucks, where it ranked No. 1. It received good ratings for IIHS Front Moderate Overlap; IIHS Front Small Overlap, Driver; and IIHS Side Crash.
The Ridgeline was the first pickup truck to earn IIHS’s “Top Safety Pick+,” which it won in 2017. It was also awarded the “Top Safety Pick” in 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, it’s the only truck to receive five-star ratings across the board for NHTSA Overall Crash, NHTSA Overall Frontal-Crash, and NHTSA Overall Side-Crash.
In addition, the Honda Ridgeline made iSeeCars.com’s list of “Longest-Lasting Cars to Reach 200,000k Miles.” Its longevity helped it earn Kelley Blue Book’s “Best Resale Value Awards: Top Ten Cars” for 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Who says headshots have to be formal?! Times are changing and although I offer formal headshots… you know the ones. The ones with a backdrop and studio lighting. I am getting more and more request for fun and informal headshots. Autumn and I had a ton of fun walking around and scavenging different and beautiful backgrounds. Fun fact, all of these keepers were done in just 30 minutes.

A new HBO series, Boardwalk Empire, premiered this weekend. Worlds away from what we see on Jersey Shore, it has reignited interest in New Jersey history and culture. Bryant Simon (author of Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America and Professor of History at Temple University) has been interviewed for the accompanying HBO documentary, and here we ask him some questions about the “dreamlike” place that is AC.
You’ve described yourself as a native of South New Jersey. What drew you to writing the history of Atlantic City?
When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s in Vineland, Philly was not the place that drew us; it was more Atlantic City. That was where we went for splurge meals, special occasions, amusement parks, parades, and shopping. In fact, that’s where I got my bar mitzvah suit! Years later, my family moved just outside of Atlantic City and I watched, while riding my bike in the morning on the Boardwalk, as gambling woke the place up and irrevocably transformed it. I was transfixed by the city, by people’s nostalgia for it, by its nervous energy, and its aching sadness and painful poverty in the midst of plenty. Really, it had everything I wanted to write about it – it was like a Springsteen song, a place that could be mean and cruel, but a place of romance and possible redemption. How could I resist?
Compared to places like Las Vegas or Coney Island in its heyday, how did/does Atlantic City epitomize the urban playground?
All of these places share something in common – they are each the tale of two cities. They are places built in the interests of visitors, not necessarily residents; they sell (or sold) fantasies – fantasies that put tourists as the center of the narrative and allowed them to slip their daily skin and imagine themselves not as they were, but as they wanted to be. That is what people paid for when they went these places – they paid for fantasies.
As you researched the book, what memorable anecdotes did you come across that really captured the heart and history of Atlantic City?
One of the first things I learned about Atlantic City stayed with me throughout the project. I remember looking at a postcard from the 1920s or so. In it, the benches on the Boardwalk were pointed away from the beach. I asked if this was a mistake. “No” an expert on the city told me, “That’s how it was.” That was my first lesson that Atlantic City was essentially a stage and the visitors were both actors and audience.
You’ve been interviewed for a documentary that’s set to run in conjunction with the HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. What do you make of the series’ take on Atlantic City, and what to your mind does it say about public perception of the city?
If the show is a success, it will no doubt draw tourists to town, looking for the romantic, if still violent, past the program surely mythologizes. Yet the real Atlantic City Boardwalk of today has little relationship to the past except its common geography. Most of the dreamlike hotels – buildings that looked like French chateaux and Moorish palaces – have been torn down. The amusement piers are long gone or covered up and turned into air-conditioned malls. The crowds of people dressed in their Sunday – really their sleek and elegant Saturday night best – have been replaced by people in t-shirts and flip flops. Except for the ocean and the Boardwalk, most of Atlantic City’s past has been sacrificed and erased to make way for the neon splashed casinos. People will still find plenty of “booze, broads, and gambling,” but these things on the ground may not carry the same romance as they do on film.
This isn’t a topic that has gotten much coverage elsewhere, but could you elaborate on the role race played in the politics of prohibition in Atlantic City?
Boardwalk Empire suggests that Atlantic City in the era of prohibition was a “wide open town” and all about “booze, broads, and gambling,” but that was only part of the truth. People did come to drink and to play, but that wasn’t the city’s only draw. Instead, many first generation immigrants and their families came to show off – to publicly announce, really – that they had made it, which they could do by parading along the Boardwalk stage in their dressiest clothes.
Crucial to this staging was segregation. The Atlantic City celebrated in Boardwalk Empire was not just a city of mobsters, speakeasies, and brothels. It was, in the words of a longtime resident born in Georgia, a “Jim Crow for sure.” Its schools, clubs, neighborhoods, and movie houses were segregated. In 1923, just three years after the start of Prohibition, the city opened a brand new school that included a 1,000-seat auditorium and a 6,000-pipe organ, at a total cost of over $1.75 million. It also included an indoor pool, but rather than have whites and African Americans swim together, officials covered it up.
In fact, segregation was more important to Atlantic City than prohibition or mobsters. Visitors – those legions of recent immigrants and their children – would not have embraced an integrated tourist city. To them, making it in America meant being white and living apart (and drinking apart) from people of color. That’s how the rich did it, and that’s how the people who emulated them on the Boardwalk wanted to do it.


I took a break from knitting for about a year. I have an addiction problem with projects. Once I start something it is literally all I want to do. That's it. I think about it all the time. Especially knitting. I long to sit and knit. I think it's the repetitive movement. It is very calming to me.
I have started knitting again. Sparingly. Especially if I know I will have long chunks of time available to me. Going to a Conference? I'd never be able to sit still through long meetings without something for my hands to do. Must stay busy.
I finally found the pattern I had printed and the yarn I felt would be perfect. Here it is: In it's glory!!

Young people today are born into society inundated with constant, short-term, passive stimulation, while often socially isolated. Music improvisation in music therapy gives them an opportunity to slow down, listen to one another, be present, be playful, be curious, be creative, be together, or just be.
“This is more engaged in anything than you’ve been all day,” an adolescent in a partial hospitalization psychiatric clinic remarked to their peer. When I entered the therapy room, this peer had been lying down, isolated and withdrawn. Yet once a wide array of instruments sat like an invitation in the center of the room, everything changed. Now this peer was leading the group in a music improvisation using a drum.
I studied music therapy at New York University, a Master’s program that emphasized the Nordoff-Robbins approach to music therapy. Thus, my music therapy education highlighted the benefits of clients taking an active role in music making in a therapeutic context. When I began providing music therapy groups for adolescents in mental health facilities, I soon realized that behavioral challenges, resistance and apathy were barriers I’d have to learn to work with when using this method. In this blog post, I will share some insights I have gathered along the way, which I will highlight anecdotally using this one particular session as an example, as well as potential benefits of group music exploration with adolescents in mental health facilities.
To provide some context, I had been alerted by a staff member that morning that this group of adolescents was particularly “touchy,” in a physical sense. Despite other therapists’ repeated requests, they had a hard time sitting still and at an appropriate distance from one another. Fortunately, as a music therapist, I do not ask clients to sit still. On the contrary, movement is often encouraged in this mind-body integrated framework, and music therapy can provide a healthy way for clients to release pent-up energy. Of course, physical boundaries still always need to be respected.
Repeated observation of social trends in these groups has caused me to be sensitive to the issue this closeness could pose for other peers thereby feeling excluded. Considering that some of these adolescents had been playfully sitting on top of one another as I entered the room, when the group heeded my invitation to form a circle around the instruments, I knew we were off to a promising start. Not only does sitting in a circle set group members up for success in maintaining appropriate distance from their peers, but this organized formation of our bodies in space also helps to create a sense of belonging and inclusion.1
Sometimes the first task I offer the group is to each select an instrument. Though it may seem simple, for those struggling with anxiety, depression, or people-pleasing, the act of making a choice and exercising their agency is undoubtedly an achievement to celebrate. Afterwards, I might offer, “Rumble on your drum/instrument if you felt _____ (anxious/excited/hesitant/etc.) about choosing an instrument today,” (a technique I learned in Simon Faulkner’s Rhythm2Recovery training workshop). Rumbling in this way increases participation and promotes connection while validating clients’ experiences as they observe that they were not alone in this feeling. Plus, the physical act of making noise on the drum allows clients to release tension, transforming nervous energy or excitement into a welcomed, shared experience of making sound.2 Then, within minutes of the group starting, together we can honor their immediate accomplishment of selecting an instrument, despite feeling “anxious” or “embarrassed.” Cultivating the practice of self-compassion may play an important role in mental health and reducing self-harm, and music therapy provides ample opportunities for clients to do so, starting with when patients select, or even touch, an instrument.3
I always make time towards the beginning of each session for group members to check-in with the group. Providing individuals an opportunity to share their name and pronouns immediately creates a space for autonomy, inclusion, and respect. I also invite them to direct their focus inwards to share their current mood, either verbally or on their instrument. Every mood, from “annoyed” to “I don’t know,” is always a valid response that gives me and the rest of the group valuable information about what mental state a client is bringing with them to the group, while promoting self-awareness and empathy.
I have found it advantageous to establish some ground rules together. Since some group members were more sensitive to sound than others that day, as is often the case, they even came up with a creative way to signal non-verbally when the music was too loud. By creating the rules together, the adolescent clients once again practiced both autonomy and boundary setting in a mindful and inclusive way. Through listening to and expressing one another’s needs, clients cultivate a safe space conducive to exploration and growth. (Note: The clinical site may also provide clients with ear plugs as an additional tool to cope with sound sensitivity).
Not long after I noticed one client continuing to play while I was speaking to the group, I invited them to take the lead in our musical improvisation. They expressed willingness, and the others then played with them in response. Organically, as a group and without speaking, they chose another group leader. This proceeded until each client had led the group. Afterwards, I explained that this had not been my plan and that they, as a group, had decided what to do and without any words! Then they processed what made them successful in their nonverbal communication. Shared music-making with a flexible framework empowers clients to practice being present with one another and in real-time. Such experiences of group cohesion allow feelings of isolation to dissipate through meaningful social connection.4
While sometimes everyone is playing together, often at least one group member declines to participate or appears withdrawn. That day, I noticed that one patient was lying down in the circle, and yet still he engaged by hitting a tambourine with a mallet. Following the musical exploration, we might verbally process as a group the integral role of each sound, or of each person’s presence, to our group’s music as a whole, including that tambourine.
Simultaneously, one patient was in an anxious and elevated state and used the music as an outlet for creative self-expression and stimulation. They rolled the cabassa over their arms and legs. They put shakers inside bongos and shook them, seeming noticeably pleased with the sounds they discovered through their innovations. I often invite the group to lead with their curiosity; through exploring various sounds and textures with the instruments, there are infinite possibilities in the sounds that we can create together as a group.
I’ve observed expressions of anxiety softly fade as I remind them, “there are no wrong sounds.” It is from this space that we may bring to our awareness those judgmental inner voices concerned about lack of natural ability or prior music experience, and then quiet them by welcoming the free-flowing voice of creative self-expression in the music-making process.
During the current youth mental health crisis, social connection, validation, and feelings of self-worth are more vital than ever for health and well-being. Whether you are a practicing music therapist or someone who is curious about clinical applications of music therapy, I hope this blog post illuminates a handful of seemingly simple and yet powerful mechanisms at play during group music making, beyond the healing potential of music in and of itself. Group music improvisation in mental health facilities with adolescents provides opportunities for releasing tension, cultivating self-compassion, exercising agency, setting boundaries, experiencing social cohesion and inclusivity, establishing autonomy, practicing nonverbal communication, being mindful, and engaging in creative self-expression, thereby setting the stage for future success both in and outside the music therapy room.

I hope that you have had an absolutely amazing 2018! I just finished high school and went on a trip to Cape Town with a group of four of my close friends in celebration of this! It was an absolute blast and I wanted this memory to be my last post of 2018. We were there for eight days (Saturday to the next Saturday).
Day 1 (Saturday)
We flew down to Cape Town and arrived around 5 pm🛬. The rest of the night was spent sorting out food for the house and other things.
We spent the day at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and it was such a beautiful place. It reminded me of Jurassic World, all it needed were some dinosaurs! 🦕 I had my first and best toasted bacon sandwich at a little cafe here. On our way back we stopped by Hout Bay beach and walked along the pier. Then we went out that evening.
We spent the day at the World of Birds: Monkey and Bird Wildlife Sanctuary. 🐒🦉I’m not the biggest fan of birds but it was cool to see all the different types of birds and wildlife. It was also super cool getting to interact with the monkeys (which are softer and lighter than you’d think). On our way home we got some of the best fried calamari, then we went home and had a chilled night in playing games and eating tons of snacks.
This was a very relaxed day. We slept in and had brunch at the house. Then we went to Camps Bay beach and spent some time there before having supper at Ocean Blue, right by the beach. 🏖
This was one of my favourite days! We went to the Two Oceans Aquarium and then had a late lunch by the V&A Waterfront. Then we went to Charly’s Bakery. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I watched their tv show. After that we went to the Bo-Kaap (the coloured houses) and took some photos. Then we went home and had a movie night. 🎥
We slept in that morning then we all dressed up. We went back to the Bo-Kaap and heard all about its history in the locally run Cape Malay mueseum. That afternoon/ evening we explored the V&A Waterfront: we walked around, had lunch, walked along the pier, got on the Ferris wheel. 🎡 Afterwards we went out.
This was our last full day and probably the most active day. We hiked up Lion’s Head (the pointy mountain next to Table Mountain). ⛰ I honestly don’t know how I made it to the top and I was super stiff for three/ four days afterwards. I have genuinely never been that stiff before. On our way home we stopped by the cutest Chinese shop with really good food. We then went home, got ready and went to Clifton beach 3. We stayed at the beach until around 8pm then we ate supper at Hard Rock Cafe.
Our flight was in the afternoon so we spent that morning tidying up, packing and getting ready to leave. Then we flew back home. 🛫
Isn’t it crazy that 2018 is over 🙈. Honestly this year flew by so quickly! 2018 is definitely a year I won’t forget. I hope that you all had an amazing 2018 and I’ll see you, friends in the new year!
