Workers plan major strikes at Edinburgh College after management victimised and sacked lecturer and prominent trade union activist Kevin Scally.
Earlier this year workers in the EIS-Fela union struck for four days over compulsory redundancies.
Now union members plan to strike for two weeks from Monday over Kevin’s dismissal as the only redundancy made so far.They are out to halt an attack on Kevin and the union and to prevent further job cuts that would follow.
Workers at different campuses are planning to alternate strike days. This means that at least two campuses will be disrupted every day of the strike.
Kevin told Socialist Worker there’s no justification for his dismissal. “I was marked on a matrix and got high scores for things like my teaching. But when it came to managers’ opinions, I was marked much lower,” he said.
“I appealed the matrix results and was told, ‘We’re making you redundant whatever you do’.”
“It feels targeted,” Kevin added. “It feels like those higher-ups managed my redundancy. It’s not like there are no jobs at the college. There are courses I could have taught on.
“But I was told I wasn’t qualified enough to teach them. But the next minute, they’re using support staff to teach when I am more qualified than them.
“At the end of June, I was officially made redundant. As a last insult, my redundancy pay was eight days late. Apparently, there was no malice behind that whatsoever.
“My sacking was about trying to get rid of me,” Kevin argued. “More broadly, the goal of college bosses here is to break the union.”
And Kevin told Socialist Worker that managers have created an environment inside the college that is “deeply wrong.”
“In January we were told to attend one of two meetings,” Kevin explained. “189 of us were told that we would face targeted voluntary severance. In total, management said they wanted to get rid of 32 full-time posts.
“We were told the window to claim severance would end in July. But then, out of the blue, we were told we had ten days to apply. This caused a lot of panic.
He added that the severance threat has led to the mood at the college being at “rock bottom.”
“Everyone feels affected by the threat of redundancy.
“Even those who weren’t offered severance see that their colleagues’ and friends’ jobs are threatened. And they could be next as the college bosses say they still want to make savings.”
“The number of days that staff have taken off for mental health reasons has tripled in the last years, and these are management’s figures.”
Kevin explained that the situation at Edinburgh College is just one example of how Further education (FE) is being dismantled across Scotland and the rest of Britain.
“People come to teach at Edinburgh College with a wealth of experience. They quickly conclude that something is wrong here.
“Around 40 percent of staff teach at the college, and 60 percent are support staff or managers. Of course, none of the managers are threatened with redundancy.
“Our college, like many others, is run by overpaid bosses who have never been in the classroom or haven’t been in a classroom for decades.
“Everything has become about profit, from how the bosses allow our classes to be over-filled, so sometimes there aren’t enough chairs for all the students, to these redundancies.”
Lecturers at City of Glasgow College are also planning to strike to hit back at the bosses’ plans to make 100 staff members redundant.
Members of the EIS union there are planning a 15-day strike beginning on 5 September.
College workers should unite and fight, and their union at every level should back them all the way.
Keep building the movement—and the militancy
Now turn words into action
Join the march on Saturday

There is a place for fat in your diet. And when using the right fats in the best possible ways, you will be nourishing yourself! Good fats transport fat-soluble vitamins and give your body a concentrated source of energy. They help you feel satisfied and full after eating. Bad fats contribute to heart disease because they increase blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol leads to the hardening of the arteries, which contributes to heart disease.
But it can be difficult to figure out which are the healthy fats and which are the ones to avoid. There are monounsaturated, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and trans fats. The good ones are the monounsaturated fats, which come from most nuts, canola, peanut, olive oils and avocados, and the polyunsaturated fats, which come from corn, safflower, soybean oils and fish.
The bad fats are the saturated fats, which come from whole milk, cheese, butter, coconut oil and meats; and trans-fats, which include shortening, most margarines, partially hydrogenated oil and most commercially baked goods.
Here are a few ways to keep them straight:
When choosing healthier foods, go for foods that have been broiled instead of fried, replace margarine with real butter, or even better, with extra-virgin olive oil, look for products which don’t use trans fats or saturated fats, eat more low-fat dairy and lean meats and be aware of the ingredients and serving sizes for foods such as salad dressing, nuts, sandwich spreads.

ST. PETERSBURG — If you’ve been injured in car accident, want to raise Florida’s minimum wage, ensure medical pot is accessible across the state, or maybe draft the next governor of Florida, call John Morgan, the publicity-loving personal injury lawyer who on Wednesday brings his flirting with governor tour to St. Petersburg.
The roguishly charming “For the People” lawyer is scheduled to address the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. If past is prologue, he will sound as if he wants to run for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but make no commitment.
Worth north of $100 million, Morgan says he sees no need to make up his mind until next year, unlike already declared Democrats Gwen Graham and Andrew Gillum of Tallahassee and Chris King of Winter Park.
Many Democrats think a blunt,politically incorrect populist is just the ticket for Democrats in 2018.
Morgan is a top Democratic fundraiser, and he led the successful medical marijuana initiative.
The Tiger Bay luncheon is sold out and not open to the public

Omaha Grand Jury Indicts Bar Owner Over Fatal Shooting Of Black Protester In May
A grand jury in Omaha, Neb., on Tuesday indicted the white bar owner who fatally shot a Black man during protests for racial justice in May.
Jake Gardner shot 22-year-old James Scurlock in an altercation on May 30, during a tense night of protests in the city following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Initially, after reviewing video footage, Douglas County District Attorney Don Kleine ruled the shooting an act of self-defense and released Gardner from custody. He quickly reversed course and requested a grand jury and special prosecutor review the case, saying he hoped it would restore public faith in the justice system. Community members and Scurlock's family had called for such an investigation.
On Tuesday, special prosecutor Frederick Franklin announced that the grand jury had reached a decision. It charged Gardner with four counts: manslaughter, attempted first-degree assault, terroristic threats and use of a firearm in connection with a felony.
Franklin said at a news conference that when he signed on to the case earlier this summer, he also believed the shooting to be a case of justifiable self-defense.
"But I can tell you that there is evidence that undermines that," he said. "[And] that evidence comes primarily from Jake Gardner himself."
The 16-member grand jury had access to far more information than what was available at the time of the district attorney's initial decision, according to Franklin. He said Omaha police continued the investigation, conducting roughly 60 interviews and acquiring video clips from the public, which they passed on to Franklin's team.
Without going into specifics, Franklin outlined how each of the grand jury's charges relate to the events of May 30.
He said the terroristic threat count applies to Gardner's conduct in a verbal back-and-forth with Scurlock, and implied that Gardner was threatening the use of deadly force in the absence of receiving any such threats himself.
Gardner fired two shots before fatally striking Scurlock. Franklin said the jurors decided to charge the second of those, characterized as a "warning shot," as attempted first-degree assault.
The use of a firearm in connection with a felony charge is related to the manslaughter charge, Franklin said, noting "that particular count does not rest solely on an analysis of the video that has been played in the media already."
(Eyewitness video that circulated on social media after the shooting shows Gardner being pinned down on the ground apparently by Scurlock at one point during their altercation.)
He said the jury had access to evidence about Gardner's activities prior to the shooting, including information from his cell phone and Facebook Messenger account as well as video from inside the bar he owned.
"They were able to get evidence relative to Mr. Gardner's state of mind as a part of what was presented to them from this investigation," Franklin said.
NPR's Kirk Siegler reported in June that Gardner had posted on Facebook the night of May 30 that he was going to his bar for a "military style fire watch" as local protests over racial injustice escalated, and law enforcement officials later said Gardner's concealed carry permit had expired.
Franklin emphasized that the decisions announced on Tuesday are "simply charges," noting that grand jury indictments require a lesser burden of proof than is required for a conviction, and that Gardner is presumed innocent.
Still, he said he believes there is "competent, credible evidence" to support the grand jury's decision.
Gardner has not commented publicly since the charges were announced. Local ABC affiliate KETV reported that Gardner, a veteran, said prior to the indictment that he was "more anxious now than when [he] was flying to Iraq."
"While this family is thankful, this family is also still frustrated that it took this process to occur," he said, noting that Black men in Omaha are not typically given the benefit of the doubt.
Wayne also said the process still has "a long way to go."
In a statement shared with local television stations, Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert said the case against Gardner will move to trial, and asked the public to accept the grand jury's decision and respect its confidentiality.
As far as next steps, Franklin said on Tuesday that Gardner can either turn himself in or face an arrest warrant.

SB 956 & HB 7149 Would Add Barriers to Voting for Floridians
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
April 23, 2009
Brandon Hensler, Director of Communications, (786) 363-2737 or email@example.com
MIAMI – Today the ACLU of Florida sent a letter to Governor Crist urging him to veto SB 956 and HB 7149 if they make it to his desk. The letter also asks Governor Crist not to accept “a few changes to these bills as being adequate to address the serious concerns raised by the many organizations opposing them.”
The ACLU of Florida’s objections to the bills are wide-ranging, and mirror those objections raised in the joint letter that 42 Florida and national groups, including the ACLU of Florida, sent to Governor Crist yesterday.
However, today’s letter from the ACLU of Florida focuses on two specific provisions in the pending legislation (SB 956 and HB 7149). One provision further limits acceptable IDs, without proposing acceptable alternatives. The other provision expands the “no-solicitation zone,” creating a constantly shifting zone that would be impossible to enforce and make it virtually impossible for voters to receive critical nonpartisan voter rights information at the polling place. The ACLU of Florida has already successfully challenged the existing “no-solicitation zone” statute as applied to petition gathering from voters when they leave the polling place. In its letter, the ACLU states, “If Florida law is amended in the manner contemplated by these bills, the ACLU of Florida is prepared to take legal action. “
April 23, 2009
Via U.S. mail and electronic transmission: firstname.lastname@example.org
The Honorable Charlie Crist
Governor, State of Florida
400 S. Monroe St.
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
Re: Voter Suppression Bills in Florida
Dear Governor Crist:
On behalf of the 25,000 members of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Florida, we respectfully urge you to express your opposition to the anti-democratic election bills that are being forced through the legislature, and to veto this legislation if it comes to your desk for signature.
In the past week, we have seen the Legislature act in a manner that flies in the face of your stated commitment to transparency in state government. With little notice, a strike-all amendment to SB 956 was introduced that, if passed, would do more damage to voting rights in Florida than we’ve seen since the 2000 election debacle. One day later, with only hours notice and after suppressing public debate, the House Economic Development & Community Affairs Policy Council passed a bill (HB 7149) that similarly suppresses voting rights. As bad as the legislation is, the stealth and secretive tactics the legislature used to push this legislation through are equally offensive.
Floridians are rightfully outraged, and have demanded that these anti-democratic voter suppression bills not be passed, and have asked you to veto a final bill should it reach your desk.
This could very well be the first time in Florida history that the groundswell of opposition to a single piece of legislation has been so focused and so diverse. Forty-two grassroots, civil rights, and social services organizations representing Florida citizens who are elderly, veterans, disabled, Latinos, of African descent, immigrants, gays and lesbians - and more - have all joined together to demand a halt to this onslaught on Floridians’ right to vote. The ACLU of Florida joins them in this demand.
Among the many objectionable provisions in these bills are ones that would suppress Florida voters through the following means:
Forcing more voters to vote on provisional ballots;
Imposing unnecessary and onerous restrictions on third party voter registration efforts;
Imposing unnecessary and onerous restrictions on groups that collect citizen petitions for ballot measures;
Increasing the frequency of “list maintenance programs;” and/or
Extending the deadline for making accessible paper (marksense) ballots available for disabled Floridians, relegating voters with disabilities to four additional years of voting touch screen voting systems which, under your leadership, the Legislature banned for non-disabled voters.
While legislators may or may not make some changes to SB 956 and HB 7149, the bottom line is that these bills contain so many provisions that are detrimental to both Florida voters and our democractic process that only a wholesale overhaul of the legislation could even begin to make it potentially acceptable. Please do not accept a few changes to these bills as being adequate to address the serious concerns raised by the many organizations opposing them.
While our objections to the bills are wide-ranging, the ACLU’s work in Florida and nationwide to protect voters’ rights leads us to have particular concerns about two of the bills’ provisions.
Both SB 956 and HB 7149 expand the “no-solicitation zone,” creating a constantly shifting zone that would be impossible to enforce and make it virtually impossible for voters to receive critical nonpartisan voter rights information at the polling place. In addition, the ACLU of Florida is greatly concerned about the provisions in both bills that further limit acceptable IDs, without proposing acceptable alternatives. The effect of this restriction will be to prevent eligible citizens from registering to vote, and properly registered voters from exercising their right to vote.
As you know, the ACLU of Florida has already successfully challenged the existing “no-solicitation zone” statute as applied to petition gathering from voters when they leave the polling place. The ACLU of Florida also maintains that the existing statute is vulnerable to a constitutional challenge as it relates to Election Protection programs that provide nonpartisan voting rights information to voters as they enter the polls. The proposed expansion of the “no solicitation zone” in SB 956 and HB 7149 and the bills’ expansion of the kind of speech that would be prohibited under law would make this statute even more vulnerable to a constitutional challenge.
If Florida law is amended in the manner contemplated by these bills, the ACLU of Florida is prepared to take legal action.
Finally, the ACLU is particularly concerned about attempts to further restrict the types of IDs that can be used to register to vote or to confirm identity at the polls. It is well known that restrictive voter identification laws impact the most vulnerable voters: the elderly, the poor and people of color. Eliminating retirement center identifications and neighborhood association IDs from the lists of acceptable identification for voter registration and presentation at the polls, without proposing any acceptable alternatives, would result in widespread disfranchisement – and without any justification. The proponents of these restrictions have not - indeed cannot – point to any fraud or voting irregularities resulting from use of these IDs. In fact, the Senate sponsor – Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla – admitted that there is no evidence of fraud. Yet he maintains that this impediment to the right to vote is needed to prevent future fraud. Disfranchising eligible voters based on a specious and unfounded fear of future fraud cannot be tolerated, and will be met not only by ACLU litigation, but also undoubtedly by disallowance by the Department of Justice under the pre-clearance provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Florida still has a long way to go in protecting voting rights, but we have made progress, including taking initial steps to address the still-widespread disfranchisement of citizens with past felony convictions. However, if this legislation is passed and signed into law by you, Florida will be taking giant steps backwards. Florida citizens deserve better.
We respectfully urge you to take a stand for voters and democracy in Florida, and oppose these bills.

Scole Vets held to a draw
By Christiaan Partridge
Easton St. Faiths equalise with last kick off the match
Scole Vets entertained Easton St. Faiths at Ransome Avenue, looking for a third consecutive win in the league. With a much changed side and players filling in, Scole got off to a slow start. The visitors dominated early possession, but without creating much in the way of clear cut chances. Scole were very scrappy and gave away too much possession, but took the lead when Michael Earrye's cross actually found the back of the net. Minutes later, Scole were 2 up, when defensive confusion allowed Barrett to side foot home from close range. The visitors pulled a goal back soon after when Scole failed to clear their lines, but went into the break 2 goals down, keeper Steve Bartram firing home from the spot after brother Simon had been pulled down.
The second half opened with Scole looking in control, but chances to add to the lead were few, notably Simon Bartram hitting the post. The visitors pulled a goal back midway through the half, a mis-hit free kick from the right wing somehow drifting into the far top corner. The game now became much more intense with the visitors pushing for an equalizer and Scole defending deeper and deeper. With time running out, Midwinter blazed over the bar, which proved costly as the visitors got a deserved equaliser right on time.
A hard fought battle with honours even at the end.

Thermoformed parts are made from thermoplastics, which are plastics that can be repeatedly heated and cooled without change to their characteristics. In order to be thermoformed, these materials are produced in sheets. These plastic sheets are loaded into the thermoforming machine where they are heated to their glass transition temperature. At this point, the material becomes malleable and can be drawn over the mold.
In this article, we’ll discuss some of the most common thermoforming materials, their characteristics, and what to consider when choosing a material for your project.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, or ABS, is a general-purpose plastic that is widely used due to its good impact strength and rigidity. It can withstand temperatures as low as -4°F and has a heat deflection of 176°F. It is used for a variety of applications because of its resistance to scratch and abrasion that helps it maintain a high gloss finish. It also possesses good electrical insulation qualities.
Acrylic closely resembles glass and is often thermoformed as a cost-effective, shatterproof alternative. In addition to being impact resistant, it is lightweight and UV resistant. Any markings, such as abrasions, are easily fixable without damage to its excellent clarity. It is important to note that while acrylic is easy to thermoform, modifications must be made to the material before thermoforming can begin.
Polyethylene Terephthalate, or PET, is a lightweight, moisture-resistant, and recyclable plastic used primarily for packaging. It has excellent clarity and durability and has a glass transition temperature of 158°F. While it is a popular material, thermoformed PET needs to be dried in post-processing to reach such superb resistance. It can also be difficult to produce a clean trim due to this material’s toughness, and more wear and tear will occur to dies used on PET than other materials.
Polycarbonate is best known for making bulletproof glass, meaning this material can take a lot of abuse. As such, it is used for high stress applications where durability and impact resistance are necessities. It may also be used in high heat environments as it has a heat deflection temperature of 284°F.
Polyethylene boasts excellent fatigue and wear resistance that makes it useful in packaging. It is also resistant to chemicals, moisture, impact, and abrasion. The most recognizable polyethylene thermoforming grades are LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene).
Polypropylene is a fatigue-resistant commodity plastic used for electric, automotive, and consumer goods. It is often used in thermoforming to make larger pieces while remaining cost-effective. In addition to being chemical resistant, it possesses low water absorption and low conductivity. Some grades of polypropylene are safe for food contact, making it a useful material for containers as well.
Polystyrene is a popular brittle clear plastic that is widely used for disposable and protective packaging applications. It is low-cost and easy to thermoform, which makes this material perfect for beginners. The most notable grade of polystyrene used for thermoforming is HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene).
Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC, is known for being a high quality insulator as it is most notably used in electrical housings and plumbing. It offers great resistance to chemicals, water, corrosion, and abrasion. Additionally, it is flame resistant and has a glass transition temperature of 170°F. While normally rigid, it may have additives blended in to change its stiffness as needed.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin, or TPO, is a durable material commonly used as a fiberglass alternative. Due to its chemical resistance, UV resistance, and capability to withstand extreme temperatures, this material can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Choosing the Right Material
With such a wide variety of materials available for thermoforming, it can be difficult to know which one to select for your design. However, there are two major factors that will help inform your decision: intended purpose and cost. Your part’s intended application should always be considered first so that you can choose a material based on what mechanical properties you require, such as strength, high heat resistance, and more. This may also include considering how you want your part to look and feel. In terms of cost, you may need to keep in mind that the cost of material depends on its processing temperature and ease of manufacture. Your budget may help you decide between two similar materials.
Thermoforming at 3 Space
Here at 3 Space, we offer thermoforming services to suit your every need. If you have questions regarding which material may be best suited for your part, our expert engineers will be happy to make suggestions based on your design. Also, ask us about the benefits of 3D printing your thermoforming mold. For more information, contact us today.

Closing arguments in the court case between Shelly Sterling and Donald Sterling are set for July 28, and the verdict will likely come at a later date. An appeal could follow.
The case is dragging as the NBA season is approaching, and Adam Silver sees the writing on the wall.
Ben Golliver of CBSSports.com:
The Sterlings owning the Clippers when the season begins would be a black eye for the NBA. Not a huge one, but a blemish nonetheless.
The the league could have had the Sterlings gone by now, but it chose to cancel the scheduled vote to remove Donald – and Shelly with him – as owner. The other owners didn’t want to vote out one of their own if it could be avoided, and they loved the $2 billion offer Steve Ballmer presented. They wanted to let Shelly sell the team on her own and watch the value of everyone’s franchises rise all while they avoided the precedent-setting dirty work.
That still might happen – and Donald is out regardless. If need be, the NBA will reschedule its vote to remove his ownership. The timeline just might extend into the season.
National Basketball Players Association vice president Roger Mason Jr. said LeBron James would boycott if Sterling still owned the Clippers when the 2014-15 season began, but Mason later backtracked from that assertion. Though the specifics got twisted, I don’t think the underlying fact was wrong: The players want Sterling out before the season. If that doesn’t happen, it will be interesting how they react.

Winter in Paris is notoriously clammy, and this winter was no exception. But Gregory Ferembach didn’t need to turn on his heat much. One reason? The walls in his public housing building are lined with one of nature’s best insulation materials: hemp.
“We’re never cold in winter,” Ferembach said in French. “The kids walk around barefoot all the time, or even in their underwear.”
Ferembach says it helps that their apartment is on a middle floor, and their building is sandwiched between two others. But the coziness also owes to the unique material in their walls: “hempcrete,” a concrete-like blend made by mixing hemp hurd — the woody core of the cannabis plant — with water and lime. Despite the name, the material isn’t a direct substitute for concrete. But as an insulating material within walls, it holds the potential to transform the homes where we reside in ways that are healthier for people and the planet alike.
The building industry takes a staggering toll on the environment. It’s not just concrete, which is depleting the world’s sand, making cities more flood prone, and spewing a huge amount of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere along the way. There’s also the insulation in our walls, the vinyl coating our floors, and the laminates in our countertops, most of which are derived from fossil fuels and have a sizable carbon footprint. From the foundations to the roof, today’s buildings are part and parcel of our extractive economy.
And that’s just the construction. Factor in the energy used to power and heat them, and buildings are responsible for nearly 40 percent of global carbon emissions, according to the U.N.
John Washington, a Buffalo-based organizer for the Homes Guarantee campaign, says it’s critical that climate mitigation efforts address both sides of this equation.

After I reached Malang, I directly took bus from Arjosari to Probolinggo. That’s where my cs friend Kholid waited for me. He hosted me in a small but warm house. First time I got into the house, his mom welcomed me with her warm greeting. Then I met his father. His father suffers blindness due to the accident he had. His mother served me a cup of tea, and also his sister who lived in the next house gave me surabi to eat. I felt
really happy here. I felt thankful because I have a good life, felt grateful of this kind people. Even I was thinking, if I were an angel, I would help this family and bring happiness to this family. God please bless this family. Traveling is not just having fun, but it teaches us many things about life. Oya ! If you visit Probolinggo don’t forget to come to the tourism center, located just in front of the train station. They will give you any information you want, and help you to get the best choice or service. Maps for free, information for free, postcard for free, all for free. I heard many compliments from tourists. If you wanna ask about Bromo, Ijen, transportation, etc, this is the right place.
So Friday, 20 July 2012 my plan was visiting Madakaripura waterfall. But Bang Kholid kept asking me, “are you sure you don’t wanna go to Pananjakan again? Last time it was cloudy right?” I said, “no need, it was great”. He replied, “Are you sure? are you sure? we can go now if you want”. I said, ” arrghh…okayyy let’s go.” Since we had enough time and it’s same way to Madakaripura, so why not. This time via Probolinggo. The access or road is better than Nongkojajar or Tumpang. Salute to Bang Kholid’s motorcycle, haha. It’s kindda steep till I need to get down from motorcycle and walk. Haha..We arrived in Pananjakan 2 at 11 p.m. We need to climb stairs to Pananjakan 2. It’s lower than Pananjakan 1. But ya, again, I was so amazed by the beauty.
|2 grannys who offered taking pic but then asking for money
|Beautiful view of Lautan Pasir
|Bromo in the noon
|Bang Kholid and his motorcycle
After taking pictures, we went to Madakaripura waterfall. It’s said that Madakaripura was a place where Prime Ministry Gajah Mada isolated himself in this waterfall. The waterfall height is 200m, surrounded by 7 waterfalls and caves. The entrance fee is 3000 per person. Then we need to walk bout 30 mins. Crossing stone and river for 2 or 3 times. Don’t forget to bring umbrella unless it’s ok to get wet, but there’s people renting the umbrella and it’s up to you how much you wanna pay.
|view of some waterfalls
|we need to pass this to go to the main waterfall. That’s why umbrella is needed
|it’s circle up there, beautiful
|this s the waterfall. It’s tall 200m
Done with Bromo and Madakaripura. You will find your vehicles are clean, there are some kids who clean it up for you and ask for money, even if you didnt ask them to clean it. Ya..I think this place is not really organized well by the local. Let’s hope it’ll better for next time and many tourists come here. We went back to Probolinggo and visit a place which is still on built progress. It will become a mangrove conservation, and also next tourism spot in Probolinggo. Let’s wait for few years later =)
Saturday, 21 July 2012 we departed to Jember by motorcycle. 2 hours from Probolinggo. I was in bad mood because my ass was fakin hurt at that time =p everytime, going anywhere using motorcycle was like uhhh ! I prefer taking train for 18 hours, or bus 24 hours, than motorcycle for 2 hours. But then, I changed my sit position, so sit not facing to the front but to the left side, and my ass wasn’t hurt anymore..So it’s okay for me now to ride motorcycle even for 5 hours..hahahhaa…Our destination was Tanjung Papuma. It’s located in south. Entrance fee is 7000. The stone there was spectacular. Let’s just look at the pics.

We stayed one night in Mas Pandu’s house, he is Bang Kholid’s workmate. Both of them is is charge for the tourism center in Probolinggo. Thanks Mas Pandu =) Then on Sunday, 22 July, proceeded to Bali yuhuuu !!
Thanks a lot for Bang Kholid and family. Total I spent more or less was 200k

Who Will Be The Next Winner: American Idol 2014 Audition Cities And Dates Announced
By Staff Writer | May 18, 2013 12:28 AM EDT
Now that Candice Glover has been proclaimed season champion, the search for the next American Idol is on with the announcement of the American Idol 2014 auditions cities and dates. Despite the backlash over the American Idol judges this year and the decline in ratings, it is still expected that hundreds of thousands of people are still considering auditioning for this long-running, iconic show.
Like Us on Facebook
According to Wetpaint, a blog dedicated to covering the American Idol genre, the show continues to lives up to its slogan of “Others dream, Idol delivers.” The show continues to turn out stars, year after year, and 2013 is proving not to be an exception for the successful show.
Six cities have been announced so far for the 2014 American Idol auditions, but more may come depending on how the searches go in those areas. AmericanIdol.net notes that aspiring contestants need to register before the audition and must do so online.
The show began reaching out in different ways in 2013, going to remote places where people might not have the means to getting to bigger audition cities where Idol usually goes. The show has also allowed friends and family to nominate someone who they feel is worthy to be part of the rigorous audition process.
The 2014 auditions are also being done online. Since last night, immediately after the finale, online casting service eTribez is accepting electronic submissions for those who want to be part of the next season’s show.
On site auditions for American Idol 2014 begins in San Francisco (July 16, 2013) at AT&T Park; Detroit, MI (July 21, 2013) at Ford Field; Atlanta, GA (July 26, 2013) at Gwinnet Center; Boston, MA (August 2, 2013) at Gillette Stadium); Austin, TX (August 7, 2013) at Frank Erwin Center; and Omaha, NE (August 11, 2013) at CenturyLink Center.

K-Pop Crossover: Stephen Colbert Slips In Hallyu Reference During Seth Rogen Interview On 'Colbert Report' [VIDEO]
Stephen Colbert's eight-year tenure playing a conservative blowhard on "The Colbert Report" might be coming to an end on Friday, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have time for one last shout-out to the South Korean music scene.

The highly competitive nature of the K-pop industry unfortunately means that some groups don't make it. In 2014, there were four groups we said goodbye to.

Filmmaker John Sayles' first bonafide box-office success, Brother from Another Planet centers on a black escaped slave from a faraway planet (Joe Morton) who finds himself on the mean streets Harlem. Though the locals are put off by the slave's inability to speak, they are won over by his technical wizardry. He is adopted as a "brother" by his new friends, who protect him from pursuing white aliens played by director Sayles and David Strathairn.
Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. A sweet Atlantic soul groover from Brother Jack McDuff – and a set that has him tightening up his Hammond sound from his earlier years at Prestige Records! The tunes here are short and punched-up – almost instrumental soul numbers in their construction, but still filled with plenty of jazz – thanks to Jack's mad solos on organ, and some killer drums from Joe Dukes and Bernard Purdie! Other players include George Coleman on tenor, Cornell Dupree on guitar, and Buddy Lucas on baritone sax – and arrangements are by JJ Jackson and Jack himself.
Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. One of the more open-ended sessions that Brother Jack cut for Atlantic – with less of the tight larger soul arrangements that the label usually saddled him with. (Not that we mind those, though!) David Newman plays a variety of saxes, and the group also includes a young Melvin Sparks on guitar. Tracks are longish, and the album includes the originals "Duffin 'Round", "Esperanto", and "More Head" – as well as stunning versions of "Sunny" and "But It's Alright"!
Van Zant is an American musical duo composed of brothers Donnie Van Zant and Johnny Van Zant. Both are brothers of the late Ronnie Van Zant, former lead singer for the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Johnny became the lead vocalist for the reunited Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1987, and Donnie was also the leader and vocalist of .38 Special. Initially a Southern rock band, Van Zant first recorded in the 1980s on Geffen Records before disbanding… Johnny joined up with Donnie, and they revived the Van Zant name to release an album in 1998, Brother to Brother Initially intended as a one-off project, Brother to Brother saw chart success in the single "Rage", so the duo followed it up in 2001 with Van Zant II for the label…
Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. There was a lot of change in the air in 1967 when Jack McDuff released “Do it Now”, and that is reflected on many of the tracks on this fine soul jazz disc. In 67 James Brown was still developing the new funk sound, he had already hit us with the semi-funk of “I Feel Good”, but had not quite hit the pure funk heights of “I Got the Feelin” and “Say it Loud”. The first and last cuts on side one of McDuff‘s “Do it Now” are not quite full-on funk jazz numbers, but you can clearly hear the influence of James’ recent hits. In fact, side two closer and title cut, “Do it Now“, sounds like its based on that famous walk down riff from “I Feel Good”.
Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. Brother Jack McDuff recorded an enormous number of albums during the '60s, so it can be difficult to figure out where to start digging a little deeper into his output (which Hammond B-3 fans will definitely want to do). 1967's Tobacco Road stands out from the pack for a couple of reasons. First, unlike many of his groove-centric albums, it's heavy on standards and pop/rock tunes (seven of nine cuts), which make for excellent matches with McDuff's highly melodic, piano-influenced style.

The 2020 edition of the Global Conversation took place on 27 May from 10:00-12:00 EDT (16:00-18:00 CET). It gathered 41 participants from Belgium, China, France, Japan, the Philippines, Spain, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
While the COVID-19 crisis imposed a quick reactive transfer of our well-trodden face-to-face modes of learning and teaching (L&T) into the digital environment, educators’ reflective insight across the world has tended, understandably, to examine these changes primarily from a deficit perspective (i.e. to focus on what ‘we used to do that we can’t do anymore’).
Yet, we all know that ‘face-to-face’ is not totally perfect! Indeed, many will suggest that the move to digital is promoting healthy questioning of all aspects and modes of our learning and teaching practice, off and online.
In this context, and as we have now experienced some of the challenges and opportunities of going digital, the most productive debate that we could have at this transitional point in time was to ask ourselves these questions:
- What do we think are the opportunities afforded by going digital?
- What do we think that we can achieve better in a digital environment that we didn’t think about when teaching face-to-face?
- Is there a useful mix of pedagogies here that is of benefit to learning and teaching communities?
- What are the challenges and the main issues at stake in the transition to digital?
- How must we adapt our teaching expectations and learning outcomes for the potential impact on the broader cultural arts landscape?
The ENCATC/AAAE Global Conversations session sought to examine these issues via moderated Town Hall discussion.
FOLLOW UP EVENTS IN 2020
As a continuation of this Global Conversations, ENCATC organised on 5 June 2020 ENCATC Members Talk#3 on "Future of learning and teaching practice, off and online" for members of ENCATC, AAAE and TACPS to revisit the discussions on 27 May with new energies and ideas.
Later in 2020, ENCATC and AAAE organised a second Global Conversation, this time during the 2020 ENCATC Digital Congress on 4 November. The focus of this Global Conversation was on "Decolonising cultural management education".
The ENCATC-AAAE-TACPS Global Conversation was first designed in 2017 by ENCATC, the Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE) and the Taiwan Association of Cultural Policy Studies (TACPS) as result of the Memorandums of Understanding signed by the 3 organisations in 2016 (AAAE) and 2017 (TACPS).
This bi-annual exchange at the AAAE Conference in May and at the ENCATC Congress in October is meant to offer an international platform for a global debate on education on cultural management and policy.

Today You may fear the evil of man, worry about survival.

a rocket being launched.
You can imagine the feel of the winds of a hurricane,
destructive to all in its path.
You may remember the feel
The feel of the force of an earth quake.
You’ve seen the mighty water of the surf,
powerful enough to roll and crush.
You’ve seen the fierce and awesome fire
The Fire of a lighting bolt, unbelievably explosive.
You can imagine the unstoppable power of a rogue star.
Now observe the vastness of space,
the magnitude of the sun.
Stare out across the open sea,
reflecting only light.
Go now! Flit far away, beyond space.
Take note how small
How insignificant the sun is from there.
Put a galaxy into your pocket,
Notice the faint warmth of the suns.
Sprinkle a little cheer on a child’s smiling face,
think of a flower.
Eons can pass.
Surf, winds and fires may fade as you watch.
Force created by you,
enjoyed by you,
allowed to expire by you.
Create new energies, new fires!
Reignite the suns or make new ones!
Add huge spaces, new depth to infinity!
Roll an ocean to create waves.
Gently blow to make winds.
Motion you create and space too.
Enjoy the aesthetic action of your creations.
The future you create!
You are Life ∞
