Talking It Out Educational Workshop Series - FREE LESSONS in Yoga and Poetry
The Talking It Out Virtual Arts Festival is currently offering FREE lessons this Winter & Spring as part of the rollout of our Educational Workshop Series, featuring Yoga workshops led by Program Manager Maria fe Picar available now on Sundays at 1pm EST & Poetry workshops led by Daenah Campbell (aka Dae the Poet) this coming February on Sundays at 4pm EST, with additional workshops to be announced in the coming weeks.
Visit www.linktr.ee/talkingitoutfest to access the Zoom registration links for these workshops and follow @talkingitoutfest on Instagram and Facebook for more updates.
Now in its third season, the Talking It Out Virtual Arts Festival’s current leadership slate consists of Producing Artistic Director Anthony J. Piccione, Associate Artistic Director Ryan Thornhill, Program Manager Maria fe Picar & Literary Manager Angelo Lorenzo.
Founded in 2020 by Mr. Piccione during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the original Talking It Out performance was presented live at the Dramatists Guild Foundation's Music Hall on March 10th, 2019. At the time of the initial readings, Michael D'Antoni wrote a rave review of the event for Five-Star Arts Journals, describing it as having “nothing less than pure, unadulterated, genuine, unpretentious focus on the agonies and anguish of mental illness, while also celebrating the triumphs and accomplishments over those living with, or those living with someone who suffers from mental health issues.“
Originally intended to be a one-time event of minimalistic staged reading of short plays, the event has since been revived as an ongoing festival of plays - as well as an expanding line-up of additional arts programming - presented online via Zoom. Hi! Drama praised the inaugural November 2020 Zoom performance for having “drawn from a wide range of ages and genders” and for “detailing the pain and distress encountered not only by those suffering from the various disorders but also those who support them”, while Young-Howze Theatre Journal praised the festival in a review earlier this season as “proof that digital theatre works.” Each of the plays is presented by an ensemble of actors from different corners of the world, highlighting various issues related to mental illness - ranging from anxiety, depression, neurodivergency, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, and more.

SCHENECTADY — A plan to expand the presence of police officers in city schools is heading towards final approval after the City Council’s Public Safety Committee on Monday advanced a resolution signing off on the proposal.
In a 2-0 vote, the committee advanced a three-year contract between the city’s police department and school district that would place up to six community engagement officers in schools. The vote comes two weeks after members moved to table the proposal in order to probe the program and further vet the contract.
Council members Carl Williams and John Mootooveren voted to advance the proposal. The committee’s third member, Carmel Patrick, was not in attendance, though she has voiced support for the program in the past.
A final vote is expected to take place at next week’s City Council meeting.
Williams, the committee’s chair, said he voted to advance the proposal after listening to concerned residents for and against the program and meeting with the district’s superintendent and one of the community engagement officers that has been working in Schenectady High School since the program launched last fall.
“I understood this coming before the council, it wasn’t our authority to approve it or disapprove it,” he said. “It was our responsibility to make sure it actually read as it was intended. It is our responsibility to ensure the city and its residents are protected and that this achieves the aim of what it was meant to be.”
Monday’s vote caps off two months of debate that saw dozens of community members attend school board meetings to voice opposition for the program, with many arguing that officers have no place in schools and their presence would serve only to traumatize students of color.
Others pointed to studies compiled by the American Civil Liberties Union that found the arrest rates for Black and brown students increase when police are present in schools and argued the district would be better off using the funds to bolster mental health services.
The Schenectady City School District Board of Education, in a 4-3 vote back in March, voted to enter into a contract with the city’s police department that would place two community engagement officers at the high school and see three officers divide time between the district’s middle and elementary schools. A supervising sergeant will also be assigned to oversee the program.
Under the agreement, the school district will pay the city $50,000 per officer the first year, with a 2% increase each year after.
Dozens of high school students walked out of class following the vote, leading to accusations that school board member Jamaica Miles, a prominent community activist and critic of the program, was using students to advance her political agenda.
Miles has denied organizing the rally, but has said she provided advice on how to safely stage the walkout after she was contacted by students.
Superintendent Anibal Soler Jr. appeared virtually at Monday’s meeting to voice his support for the program.
He said the program has been a collaborative effort between the district and police department, and that the officers will serve as an additional layer of support for students and their families, which he has said repeatedly over the past two months.
“It’s been very beneficial,” he said. “It’s not a traditional school resource officer program. We’re really intentional about calling them community engagement officers because we’re trying to change the narrative.”
The committee also voted to approve a separate resolution proposed by Mootooveren that would ensure funds the city collects from the school district for the program are reallocated to the police department in order to bolster mental health services and hire additional community engagement officers — two priorities laid out as part of the city’s police reform plan approved last year.
Mootooveren noted that the original community engagement officer plans did not include placing officers in schools and believes it’s the council’s responsibility to ensure the plan is being implemented as intended.

Ask yourself this, do you want your school board members giving your kids advice on how to walk out of school? There is a new school board election coming up do your due diligence and make sure that we don’t add to the Jamaica Miles posse.
“… their presence would serve only to traumatize students of color.” How foolish to think the impact would only be negative, and would only affect one group of students. No other group of students would be affected at all. Zero logic to that train of thought.

An Auckland company at the centre of an eviction dispute with the Transport Agency wants it to pay its legal fees before it will agree to a meeting.
Wire manufacturer Faulkner Collins occupies a property owned by the agency in the path of the Waterview motorway extension.
The Transport Agency says it is owed rent by Faulkner Collins, which in turn says it needs better compensation for moving.
Faulkner Collins missed a deadline on Tuesday for rent arrears and is supposed to meet the agency.
But chief executive Hadley Wright says he will only meet if the agency pays its legal fees and sends a representative with decision-making powers.
The agency says it wants a solution satisfactory to both sides.

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt, 29, just disclosed that her mother Soni Razdan manages her expenses.
Besides being a successful actor, Alia Bhatt stepped into business with an investment in Nykaa and launched an apparel brand Ed-a-Mamma. She recently founded her production house named Eternal Sunshine Productions.
Working in the Indian film industry for over a decade now, Student of the Year star revealed that her mother Soni Razdan looks after her expenses.
Alia doesn’t even know how much money she has in her bank account.
Dear Zindagi actor told CNBC-TV18, “When I was younger, of course, my relationship with money was restricted to the pocket money that I received from my mum, which I would very carefully save up and spend on some strange items. I remember once we went to London and we had only 200 pounds for the whole trip to shop, and I went and spent 170 pounds on the first outing because it was the first time I was going to such a large shopping space with so many brands. So I had no understanding of it.”
The actor added, “Even now, my mum handles my money. I am not sure how much money I even have in my bank. But every now and then I sit with my team and they take me through the numbers. I have a certain idea and a certain sense, but I know that my mother right now is handling my money very well. So my relationship with money is to make it and have my mother handle it.”

Forex Outlook: Euro Rebounds from Two-Month Low
According to Reuters the euro hovered near a two-month low on Wednesday, hurt by uncertainty over Greece’s fate and weak German business sentiment that highlighted the growing pain in stronger European economies from the Eurozone’s protracted debt crisis.
The EUR rose 0.2 percent to $1.2722, but still in close proximity to its two-month low level of $1.2661 set on Tuesday, when the currency plunged on a weak German ZEW sentiment survey.
Support for the euro stands at its 90-day moving average near $1.2667 and additional support level at $1.2653, the bottom of the daily cloud on the Ichimoku chart. A break below the Ichimoku support can be considered as a strongly bearish trend that could lead to a test of the $1.2608 mark. An agreement on Greece’s aid package and a swift delivery to Athens are expected to rally the euro.
“For the moment, the market’s focus is on whether they can decide on a deal for Greece next week,” said Teppei Ino, currency analyst at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, for Reuters.
On the upside Fxstreet.com expects immediate resistance at recent session/yesterday’s highs at 1.2730, followed by Monday’s and weekly highs 10 pips above, and 6 November lows at 1.2762.
Bild Zeitung, a German newspaper, reported that Greece would get a lump sum of over €44 billion (£35.24 billion) in aid under a German proposal to rebundle the remaining instalments this year, citing unnamed sources in the German government. The unconfirmed news has beaten the bears off the market, signalling further upside in the EUR/USD pair.
The most important piece of information today will come from the release of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes. Fxstreet.com points out that the effect of this release is very difficult to assess, and could easily reverse the slowly forming EUR bullish sentiment into a USD bullish sentiment.
Nothing very exciting is marked today on Europe’s economic calendar. French CPI should be published at 07.45 GMT, followed by EU industrial production, Portugal and Greece GDPs at 10:00 GMT, and Portugal unemployment at 11.00. Jobs data for the UK expected to be released at 09:30 GMT and the Inflation report one hour later could bring some volatility to EUR/GBP cross.
Reuters warned of massive anti-austerity strikes all day long in Spain and Portugal, while Greece and Italy are planning work stoppages and demonstrations. The Iberian Peninsula is set to witness historical international coordination in what is seen as a pan-EU protest against austerity.

Hey there, new mama with stars in your eyes, cradling that precious newness and measuring yourself suddenly unworthy of the blessing she is and the trust she unreservedly gives.
Just breathe. You are enough.
You will fail at your most cherished ideals, and you will misunderstand her. You will follow ideas that seem sound and then learn to adapt all over again when those foundations slip. Even your worst days won't break you. The curses spoken over you as a teenage mother will come to nothing, and you will prove those judgements wrong, because they are speaking out of fear and their fear has no power over you. There is nothing you can't learn from, and it will be OK!
Remember to say sorry, allow your heart to be tender and soft, work to forgive and act in ways that are grace-full and gracious - she will try to become what you are. Permit yourself that same grace when you mis-step. Because you will, and it will spur you to choose and choose again, more love, more peace, more joy.
Take brave baby steps and try things out. It's perfectly healthy to try a little and see. You can decide that something isn't for you. You can take a step in a different direction. You don't need to have a grand theory or figure everything out in advance. See the big picture and don't sweat the small stuff. Most of it is small stuff!
It isn't all yours to control.
You don't need to do it all. Your baby doesn't need a "perfect parent", she just needs you. Look, truly look, at your child, how she really is. Try to observe her without filters. She is a whole person already. You are forming a relationship with her, not with the child you thought you'd have, not with a mirror or a part of yourself.
Hold her, treasure her, don't worry about putting her down, babies don't spoil. You won't disappear or be swallowed up in giving yourself freely to her. Trust that immense love, that overwhelming bond with her, there is no such thing as too much love. Listen to even the most bizarre advice openly, and think on it, but run from blindly following *anything* you are told no matter how trustworthy the source. They are not you, and they can't know your baby in the same way you do.
When she cries, and she will, it is not about you and it is not personal. She is communicating something, yes, and you can help her, yes. But sometimes the only way you can help her is to be there - and sometimes she will still cry. She doesn't hate you. Look for the need, but let the pain flow away from you - it isn't your pain to take in. You can listen better if you are not frantic with the pain yourself.
She is not you, and you are not her.
Give her chance to relate to other people, in their own way. It's not a big deal that daddy changes her nappy differently, plays with her differently, gets the words to rhymes wrong. They will find their relationship more comfortable and much happier if you don't try to take over. A lot of the fears you have about things that might damage this precious baby are honestly just versions of the fear that you are no longer in control - well, not to be rude, but get used to it! - don't put that fear on to other people.
Appreciate the small things. You already have much more than you think you do. To slow down this crazy race, simply look around you and be in this moment, here, now. Time is not getting away from you, and it is never lost, all of this time is a part of you and will be forever. The layers are beautiful. And she will *always* be your baby.
Make space for yourself too, and fill your own cup. Find those soul sisters you can tell anything to, and treasure them. A tribe will shore you up when you need it, and celebrate you when you are dancing along in tune with each other.
Surround yourself with people who speak both love AND truth, but especially with people who see the positive, can laugh at themselves and disaster both, and encourage you to go on seeking the positive, the admirable, the worthy.
Laugh with her. Say yes as often as you possibly can. Have fun together. Be her safe place. Ask what she thinks. (And for in a couple of years, you need to know this: Stop bloody correcting her. Believe me, your inner teacher will come out when she starts talking, and I'm telling you it won't help. Trust her to ask if she needs to know. She'll forgive you, though, and you will figure out how to talk without constant "lessons" coming out of your mouth.) Learn to play, run barefoot in the grass, so many beautiful things are opening to you as she opens to the world. Embrace wonder!
This is only the beginning. I know you don't feel like you're doing that well, right now, but the things that you are growing in to will change everything. Trust yourself to figure this out, one small step at a time. You are already a wonderful mother, and just the mother this child needs. Or at least, you are growing in the right direction.

Opinions.This isn't just another sob story or a teenage rant.
This is my opinion. Feel free to share your own.
I tried my hardest to be the best person I can be. I really did try. But now as I sit here musing over everything, I wonder why do I deserve this? Why do I deserve this pain? Why do I lay in bed every night with a hurt heart and wake up with reality seeping in my mind and pretend my memories are dreams or a book I read? Every time I wake up, I want to numb everything and sleep. What would death be like? Would it be like sleeping? Just pitch black and not knowing you're living or dead? No thinking, not knowing or conscious of anything. Not even conscious that you have/had a life...
And if you think this is about the opposite sex, think not. It's not about being unable to find "the one ".
This is pain.
Nothing at all to do with "the right one " because, frankly, there is no such thing.

Cedar Park, TX, January 2022 – Capital Dental Equipment (CDE) is pleased to announce a new team member, Veronica De La Cruz, who will serve as an outside Sales Representative for the greater Rio Grande Valley area. Before this, the CDE sales team has been located at the company headquarters in Cedar Park, Texas, where it has serviced the dental practices in the domestic U.S.
Capital Dental Equipment has recently changed directions by adding approximately 20 new vendors and product lines to expand the full-service dental equipment business model. In doing so, the company has grown by 250% in the past year and has a projected sales growth of an additional 200% for 2022.
De La Cruz attended the Pankey Institute before starting her career in the dental industry as a dental lab technician, where she created mouthguards for patients with temporomandibular joint disorder. Later she realized her passion for helping dentists and transitioned into a sales role where she primarily sold dental supplies. She brings over 18 years of experience to the CDE team as a dental sales professional, specializing in developing and expanding territories by helping doctors with their practice growth and potential.
“We’re extremely excited about Veronica joining the team,” stated Ron Sharpe, President of Capital Dental Equipment. “She has already hit the ground running and has several projects already lined up for us. So, we’re excited about not only where she is, but where she’s going with it.”
Expanding the sales team to include a specialized territory sales professional will enhance Capital Dental Equipment’s ability to reach new dental professionals in the state of Texas. The sales representative’s role is to build and promote strong, long-lasting customer relationships by partnering with dentists and understanding each one’s specific needs. With De La Cruz’s background in dental supply sales, she offers the unique opportunity of having existing relationships with many dental practices in the Rio Grande Valley.
“It’s just a career that I’ve been so passionate about because it never stands still and is always changing. The more time goes by, the more exciting dentistry is becoming,” said De La Cruz. “I love being on the equipment side of sales now: hearing what a doctor wants, guiding them on equipment, and seeing what we can accomplish.”
Capital Dental Equipment is enthusiastic about the available growth opportunities that 2022 will bring and looks forward to continuing to expand the sales team further.

For example, some sites charge relatively high fees in an attempt to create an aura of exclusivity.
And some sites add other criteria, such as allowing only Ivy League graduates, plus fees to create greater selectivity.
You’ll hopefully get into a relationship or two along the way and need to suspend (not cancel! This feature is nasty, it’s legal, it’s stated in the small print, and all sites do it.
If you pay by credit card, after you sign up for a long-term contact (three months to one year) on most systems, you may immediately resign. It just means that you’ve quashed the auto-debit monster.
However, the disadvantage of this method is that you become very judicious about using your e Tokens and may become annoyed when you don’t get a reply from someone (consequently, a wasted token).

Verizon recently rejected a request from Naral Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group, to make Verizon’s network available for their opt-in text message program.
Verizon had initially claimed that the text messages violated their policy against messages that were “highly controversial.” From the WSJ:
In a statement Thursday, Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson said, “The decision to not allow text messaging on an important, though sensitive, public policy issue was incorrect, and we have fixed the process that led to this isolated incident.”
He added, “Upon learning about this situation, senior Verizon Wireless executives immediately reviewed the decision and determined it was an incorrect interpretation of a dusty internal policy.”
Verizon Wireless said Thursday its policy had been developed before text messaging protections such as spam filters “adequately protected customers from unwanted messages.” It was designed, the company said, to ward against communications such as anonymous hate messaging and adult materials sent to children.
Naturally, we’d try to start a text message consumer alert program on Verizon ourselves in order to make sure they’re really being honest about their new “loose” policy, but we imagine they’d just text back “LOL, no.”

Once the sponsor completes the survey, they are summarized by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) Food Distribution Program (FDP) Team. FDP will then order USDA Foods, based on demand, through USDA and will schedule deliveries to the State Contracted Warehouse (presently Newport Cold Storage). FDP will notify, via CLiCS 1, the approved USDA Foods distributors of the types of USDA Food and the number of cases available for pickup. The distributor will then coordinate the delivery of the USDA Foods with the sponsors.
Sponsors are able monitor and track their USDA Foods allocations throughout the school year using the CLiCS 1 Order Summary Screen. There are warehouse fees and distributor shipping and handling charges to receive USDA Foods that the sponsor negotiates with their distributor.
Bonus USDA Foods are offered in addition to USDA Foods Entitlement. Bonus USDA Foods are considered over and above USDA Foods Entitlement foods. USDA offers these periodically, but only as they become available through agricultural surpluses. The ordered quantity does not draw down USDA Foods Entitlement dollars. The type and quantity of Bonus USDA Foods distributed by USDA in a given year is dictated by agricultural surpluses and market conditions.

Police have now formally rewritten to Nasa outlawing today’s planned street protests in Nairobi, saying the alliance has not complied with the law.
Nairobi Police County Commander Japheth Koome, in a letter to Nasa executive director Norman Magaya says according to the law, they were supposed to have written to the OCS Central Police Station at least three days to the protest and in the prescribed form.
He warned Magaya that legal action will be taken against him for failing to follow the law governing public meetings and processions.
Here is the letter:
On Thursday, Acting Interior Cabinent Secretary Fred Matiang’i had outlawed street protests within the city centres of Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa and declared that Magaya will be held responsible for damages caused by Nasa supporters on Wednesday.
However, Nasa vowed to continue with the protests seeking to force out scores of top IEBC officials, saying the Public Order Act cannot override the Constitution.
No major incident has so far been reported in Nairobi save for an early morning tear gassing of Nasa supporters who usually converge near the Ambassadeur Hotel to discuss politics.
Several members of the Bunge La Mwananchi were injured.
In Kisumu, Mombasa and other Nasa-leading regions, supporters have taken to the streets to demonstrate.
Siaya Senator James Orengo on Wednesday said the protests will take place daily from Monday.

Peter Curtis, became a Life Member of the Friends of the Laperouse Museum in 1992
Skilled diplomat made the world his home, November 9, 2013: Duncan Campbell (courtesy Sydney Morning Herald).
PETER CURTIS 1929-2013
Peter Curtis was Australia’s ambassador to a dozen countries in his career. He was among the most widely experienced, deeply admired and affectionately regarded of all Australia’s corps of career diplomats, and one of a core of founding fathers of independent Australian foreign policy.
His almost 40-year working life recommending, representing or reporting on our national interests, policies and diplomatic machinery spanned Australia’s bilateral dealings and its engagements in the multilateral world of the United Nations body of organisations.
The sense of humour, generosity of spirit and quick resourcefulness that define the Australian identity found brilliant personification in this dapper, deeply committed and tireless civil servant. Wherever he was, Curtis never forgot why he was there – to do good for Australia. He was a man who couldn’t be fooled and – just as important for a diplomat – couldn’t be offended. No one soaked up information more quickly, and then refined it into useful intelligence more effectively. He had an unerring knack for getting things right.
Peter Campbell John Curtis was born on September 8, 1929, the son of Billy Curtis and his wife, Alice (nee Moss). Alice died when he was seven and Billy when he was 10, so St Ignatius College, Riverview became his home. He went on to the University of Sydney, where he was president of the student council, for his BA and Oxford for his MA. At Oxford in 1954, Curtis married Chantal Courant, a French student whose father had been mayor of Le Havre during the German occupation and had afterwards been honoured by the Allies, then was the French minister of reconstruction and then minister of finance.
Curtis served first with the International Labour Organisation in Geneva from 1955 -57, and was then recruited into the Department of External Affairs.
His first placement was in the south and south-east Asia branch from 1958-59, which was followed by attachment to a sensitive UN visiting mission to the trust territories of Nauru and New Guinea. He then went to the Australian mission to the United Nations in New York for four years, until 1963. There he was mentored by the great Australian diplomat Sir James Plimsoll, a key influence.
For the next several years Curtis was posted to Singapore, then returned to Canberra and was given charge of the mainland south-east Asia branch until mid-1967 as well as being promoted to the rank of counsellor. There followed a two-year tour to Australia’s UN mission in Geneva.
Curtis’s first posting as an ambassador was to Laos in 1969. This was the first of two turbulent posts, the second being Beirut in late 1975. In the charged atmosphere of Vientiane, Curtis was remembered by a close colleague as having seemingly boyish appeal in spades, which endeared him to everyone.
He was a skilled cross-cultural non-ideological diplomat, at home as much with an American ambassador as an anti-war journalist, a soft-spoken Lao or any of the characters always found in that sort of town. He flew neither as hawk nor dove, was responsive to Australian policy needs and sensitive to the situation of the Lao people. It followed, as a colleague observed, that he quickly became one of the important diplomats for visitors.
When the Vietnam War ended, Curtis was one of Australia’s first official visitors to Hanoi before representation was established there and laid the foundation for Australia to resume full relations with the new Vietnamese government.
After Laos, now with six children, Curtis went back to Canberra to work in the personnel and administrative areas until, in mid-1975 and now a first assistant secretary in charge of public affairs and cultural relations, accompanying Gough Whitlam on missions to the US and South America. Then, after an abbreviated stint in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Jordan (where civil war cut short his tenure) Curtis was appointed high commissioner to India (and ambassador to Nepal and the first Australian ambassador to Bhutan), where he stayed until 1980. For many diplomats, India was a hardship post – its vastness, diversity and dusty tumult a condition to be endured rather than a life experience to be savoured. For the Curtis family, being in India was a privilege they never ceased to enjoy.
In India, his opinion was sought after and he was one of the few foreign diplomats to read the Indian political landscape correctly and call the defeat of Indira Gandhi in the 1979 election.
There was not much new left for Curtis back in the Department of External Affairs but between 1981 and 1982 he did have some valuable time in the defence and nuclear area, where he led Australia’s team in the negotiation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaties, before starting out for Paris where he was ambassador from mid-1982-87.
Curtis spoke near-perfect French, although with a strong Australian accent, and he and Chantal were in their element, to the advantage of Australian policy representations to the French authorities at a challenging time. There was ample scope for a lively and not entirely like-minded dialogue with France about the rate and direction of French decolonisation in the Pacific, French nuclear testing there, distortions in agricultural trade, the Rainbow Warrior incident and pricing caused by French farm subsidies all created a need for firm and precise diplomatic communication, which the Curtises provided.
The Curtises did not have far to move to their last European post, as from September 1987 to September 1991, Curtis was Australia’s ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Communities and NATO, defending Australia’s trade interests in an increasingly large European Union state.
On the way home again, for several years from late 1991 Curtis served once more in New York, this time as Australian consul-general, a post typically given to political appointments and a rare honour for a career diplomat. There he was awarded an honorary doctor of humane letters from Pace University for strengthening relationships around the world.
Retired to Canberra (with regular visits to their country house in France’s Loire Valley) Curtis engaged enthusiastically with the programs of the Alliance Francaise and became Australian president. He was honoured and proud to be one of the few Australians awarded the distinction of Chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur, the conclusion of his diplomatic career.
One afternoon, when he was well past 80, Curtis took a friend considerably younger than himself on one of his favourite walks in the Loire Valley. It was hard to keep up with him as he plunged through the high grass along the trail beside the canal. After a kilometre or so, Curtis stopped to pay his respects to one of the sheep dogs. ”Such a hard worker, and always in such good spirits,” he remarked. He greeted the sheep dog with the same sincerity and lack of affectation he had greeted countless ambassadors and more than a few kings.
Farther on there was a bridge. As his friend tried to keep up with him, Curtis explained the intricacies of the operation of that old bridge with the same delight, and expertise, he on other occasions had discussed the intricacies of Australian agricultural policy and the factional politics of Laos. The trail, the bridge, the old canal, this deepening summer afternoon were to him what the grand diplomatic salons and exotic locales earlier had been – a source of constant fascination, a reason to understand, and to rejoice in understanding.
Here, as everywhere else, he strode through life.
Curtis is survived by Chantal, children Christopher, Nicholas, Nathalie, Anthony, Timothy and Benedict, six grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.

Effective Energy Efficiency in an Industrial Sector
Energy saving project - Brodhead Creek case study
Customer: Brodhead Creek Regional Authority - Energy Conservation Measure Project
Location: Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania 18360
Date: April 11, 2016
The kWh reduction demonstrated by the BPU technology during the M&V period was 29.41% which exceeds the projected 11% kWh savings communicated to BCRA.
The kWh savings realized have little relation to any improvement in Power Factor as the BCRA had an average PF of 0.843 in the Baseline Period. The BPU technology improved this PF by 6.4% to an average of 0.897. This is further evidence that our unit is not simply a Power Factor Correction Device.
KW consumption and Power Factor are only few of the benefits provided by BPUTM.

Speculations were rife of late that after his blockbuster film Padmaavat, which released earlier this year and went on to rack up over ₹ 300 crores at the box-office, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was gearing up to reteam with superstar Salman Khan for a film called Inshallah.
However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the ace filmmaker is not joining forces with Dabangg (2008) Khan anytime soon. Instead, he has started reviving his old project, titled Heera Mandi. The project first hit the headlines around 2013, but since Bhansali was busy with Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela (2013) back then, it could not take shape.
But now it seems the director is ready to take the film to the next level. “The film is still in the final stages of the writing process. For now, it’s being called Hira Mandi,” a source revealed.
Though there is no official word on the plotline of the movie, we hear it is based on the life of gangster Gangubai Kothewali. Gangubai was a famous brothel madam who ran many brothels around Mumbai, where she would look after and protected young women in the sex trade.
An official announcement is awaited.

A Deep(er) Dive on the Science of Storytelling
The science of storytelling is fascinating to say the least. The effect a well-told, individually relevant story with a meaningful narrative has on the brain should not be ignored, especially as it pertains to fundraising, donor relations, stewardship, and advancement.
To that end, it is critical to explore the science of storytelling on a deeper level. This knowledge allows you to fully utilize it in order to better connect, engage, and motivate donors, and other constituents.
From the beginning, we’re wired for connection.
In the earliest days and months of our lives, the brain develops at an incredible speed. In fact, if babies’ bodies grew at the same rapid pace as their brains, they would weigh 170 pounds by one month of age. The initial three years of life see the fastest rate of brain development in the entire human life span.
Much of this unbelievable development is in forming an understanding of the nonverbal cues that make up interpersonal connections. Babies have the potential to recognize a sense of connection and being wanted starting as early as seven months. This sense of connection allows us to construct our own stories and engage in others’ stories.
So from the very beginning of our lives–and the development of our brains–the foundation for the impact that storytelling has on us is formed through our interpersonal connections.
And those connections develop into empathy.
As we experience increasingly complex interpersonal connections, the brain begins to match the patterns of neural activity as perceived in other individuals. We essentially begin to mimic each other and this process of imitation is a key concept in the process of empathy.
A subset of neurons in the brain, known as mirror motor neurons which exist in the premotor portion of the brain’s prefrontal cortex play a key role in imitation and, subsequently, empathy.
Studies show that as you observe another person perform a goal-specific action, those premotor mirror neurons fire action potentials as if you were preparing to do the task yourself. Some people will experience high levels of matched neural activity while others may exhibit little to no matched neural response at all depending on the particular conditions of the interaction.
Our empathy then leads to narrative transportation–the key ingredient in engagement.
As you read a story, all of the influence of all the interpersonal connections you’ve had in your life, and the subsequent empathy you’ve developed, come together to engulf you in that story. You imagine the details, the emotions, the sensations of the story and you are, almost literally, transported into that story in your brain.
This narrative transportation effect that stories have on the brain can literally change your beliefs and worldview. And this transportation results in the release of oxytocin and cortisol which together have been shown to increase the propensity of people to give.
Which is why individual impact stories are critical.
So the conclusion of the science of storytelling is clear–telling stories to donors about the impact that their donation is making on individual human beings is the best way to engage them in your mission. And telling those stories in as much detail and with as much clarity as possible helps heighten that engagement.
Easier said than done.
The key is to consider stories–and the supporting science of storytelling–as core to your strategy, plan stories into all your communications in some form by default, and create a culture of storytelling within your organization. Then apply the processes and tools that can make storytelling easier and more efficient.

Many famous actors made special deals for Disney projects last year. Among these names are names such as Hande Erçel and Demet Özdemir who have left their mark on the last period. The big goals set for the Disney+ platform dazzled everyone last season. With the arrival of this ambitious digital platform in our country, there was an expectation that a new direction would be given to the Turkish TV series and cinema industry. Because, together with the targets set and many famous names, Disney+ had set a goal of turning our country into a production base.
However, it is understood with the decisions taken before even a year has passed, that the appetite of the Disney + platform to produce these new projects was stuck for economic reasons. The economic measures taken by Disney globally led to the questioning of the agreements made in Turkey.
The news that the Disney+ projects, which important names have been preparing for a long time, started to be canceled one by one, were reflected in the press. Backstage information came that the planned works of Hande Erçel, Demet Özdemir and Yılmaz Erdoğan were postponed.
The fans of Yılmaz Erdoğan, who prepared the feature film Organize İşler as a series and completed the script last fall, were very excited. However, the postponement decision for the Organize İşler series caused great surprise.
Likewise, the plans for the second season of Demet Özdemir, who is the face of the platform, of the series named Dünyayla Benim Aramda (Between the World and Me), which marked last season, were also delayed. While filming is expected this summer, fans are now baffled by the news of the postponement.
It was understood that the series called Deniz Kızı (Mermaid), which MF Production is in the preparation stage for the Disney + platform together with Hande Erçel, was also caught in this postponement wave. The Deniz Kızı project, which was expected to start at the same time as Erçel’s series İki Yabancı (Twe Foreigners), which she will start shooting for Fox TV, was postponed due to its high budget.
At this point, fans of Hande Erçel and Demet Özdemir, who have made big deals for the Disney+ platform, ask; Was this deal true?
Players may have earned very good incomes, but there are also problems such as restricting their careers and shifting many of the projects that may come to them to other names. Making million-dollar deals with Disney+ may have offered actors good economic opportunities, but it is also possible that the constraints on career development will cause even greater losses.
Demet Özdemir will be on the Fox TV screen with the “Adım Farah” (My name is Farah) series next season. Hande Erçel will appear in front of the audience with the TV series İki Yabancı on the same screen. However, other names will have a chance in projects prepared for different platforms or television channels, where these two actors may have a role.
In terms of their careers, whether it was right for famous names to restrict themselves to this platform and Fox TV by making a special deal with Disney+, or was it a wrong decision, time will tell.

No part of Paolo Di Canio's all too brief reign at Swindon Town was quiet and conventional, so it should come as no surprise that his departure wasn't either. He won the League Two title and League Two Manager of the Year in his first year with the club last season and has the club atop League One so far this season. But Di Canio quit on Monday, citing "a number of broken promises" in the midst of a takeover of the club that he supported.
Since this is Paolo Di Canio we're talking about -- a man who said "I do what I want!" after getting sent off and just last month wanted to use his own money to keep several players on loan -- that would've been far too understated. So, according to the Swindon Advertiser, Di Canio snuck in to his old office two nights later to swipe some pictures that belonged to the club.
The Italian, who left the club on Monday, still had a set of keys to get into the stadium and is believed to have been caught on CCTV returning to his office at around 1am on Thursday.
The Adver has learnt that Di Canio removed pictures from the walls of his office which documented his success at the club.
The Daily Mail adds that Swindon caught on to Di Canio's picture heist when they viewed the CCTV footage on Thursday and subsequently changed the security codes at the County Ground and replaced the door locks at their offices. Di Canio says the club has yet to accept his resignation, but this might've helped push them towards doing so.

(FDS) Oil Refining Fat Modification Oleochemicals Value addition to
By-products Process Automation
Deodorization is the final stage of Oil refining. PACKD™ Deodorization not only removes odoriferous and unwanted components to produce bland and stable oil but also adds value to the by products(Tocopherols,FFA, PFAD etc..)
PACKD™ Deodorizer consists of high efficiency packed Stripping Column and Retention column designed for deodorization and deacidification of fats and oils. The stripping column consists of specially designed structured packing.
The heated oil from final heater flows to the distributor on the top of the column by gravity. The packed bed consists of layers of structured packing. Oil spreads evenly over the packing and trickles down as a thin layer on the structured packing. The stripping steam from spargers located at bottom of column, flows in counter current direction to oil flow. Since, the column is under vacuum and oil at high temperature, steam strips off volatile components and carries it to the vapor outlet at the top of the stripping column.
The oil from stripping column flows down to the retention vessel just below the column where oil is given retention of at least 80 minutes. The retention vessel consists of multiple trays with baffles and sparging steam arrangement. The sparging steam continuously strips volatile substances and take it to vacuum duct. Oil flows from one tray to another by overflow arrangement. Then oil undergoes regenerative heat exchange with incoming bleached oil and further polishing and final cooling.
- The extensive surface area created by structured packing enhances the stripping action
- Low stripping steam requirement – 0.8 % for small and medium capacity plants and 0.5 – 0.6 % for large capacity plants.
- Lower load on vacuum system
- Reduction in unwanted or side reactions (polymerization, isomerization etc)
- Sparge steam tubes can be removed for maintenance
- No splash oil generation
- Ideal for deodorization of specialty fats


Work starts on 73-home estate in mid Norfolk
- Credit: Supplied by Flagship
The first sod has been turned on the site of a £9.7 million affordable housing scheme which will create 73 new homes in mid Norfolk.
To be called Tower Mill, new estate will be on land to the north of North Pickenham Road in Necton - between Dereham and Swaffham.
The building is being done by Durham-based Partner Construction on behalf of Housing Association Flagship Homes. All of the new dwellings will be either for shared ownership or affordable rent.
Frank Lincoln, Partner Construction's regional managing director, said at a ground-breaking ceremony: “We are delighted to have started building at Tower Mill.
“We pride ourselves on supporting people with our affordable homes and employing a workforce on site that will be made up of local labour and contractors.
"We are determined to ensure that the housing market better serves young first-time buyers and families on low to average incomes.”
Tony Tann, Flagship's managing director, said the name Tower Mill was chosen as a nod to a former mill with the same name in the village, which was once five storeys high.

The one-storey remnant of the mill is still there in Mill Street, next to a pub and restaurant called The Windmill.
Mr Tann said: "We feel that this is a great starting point in the process of integrating this new development with the existing community.
"In addition, the beautiful rural location and open space is to be respected with landscaping plans already in pace, to ensure the scheme is in keeping with the surrounding area.”
The new homes are due to be completed in early 2024.
They will be in semi-detached blocks spread around the site facing onto two cu-de-sacs, with the estate entrance off North Pickenham Road.
There will be a mix of two-bedroom bungalows, one-bedroom walk-up flats and two, three and four-bedroom houses.
Homes England, a government body funded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, is helping to pay for the project.
Mr Tann said: “The housing provision being created here in Necton will ensure that many local people and families will have access to quality affordable housing."

A Riverside man accused of fatally slashing a longtime friend during an alcohol-fueled confrontation must stand trial for murder and other charges, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Kevin Scott Mansfield could face 50 years to life in prison if convicted of the March 27 slaying of 31-year-old Joshua Michael Sebald.
Along with first-degree murder, Mansfield faces sentence-enhancing allegations that he used a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony and committed a crime while out on bail.
Following a 45-minute preliminary hearing today at the Riverside Hall of Justice, during which one police investigator testified, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Charles Koosed found there was sufficient evidence to bound Mansfield over for trial.
Koosed also ruled that the 31-year-old defendant had a serious prior felony strike on his record and left his bail set at $1.1 million. Mansfield has been held at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside since his arrest.
Koosed set a post-preliminary hearing arraignment for Sept. 18.
According to police, on the night of the attack, Mansfield and Sebald were drinking in the detached garage behind Mansfield’s mother’s house in the 5900 block of Birch Street, near Magnolia Elementary School. For reasons not explained, Mansfield allegedly went after Sebald with a knife, inflicting fatal injuries.
Mansfield’s family saw him leave the garage, where he had been living, and decided to check on Sebald, who was discovered dead on the floor. Officers were summoned to the location and immediately began a search for Mansfield, who was found 20 minutes later walking nearby and arrested without a struggle.
At the time of the attack, Mansfield was free on bail after being arrested on suspicion of robbery, authorities said. He has a prior felony conviction for a 2002 burglary he committed with Sebald, who was also prosecuted.
The two men had known each other since middle school.

Auburn X knows a bit about dying and coming back to life. After spending time in a coma and life support last year, he has unleashed a new EP that details the experience. "Life & Death" is as fitting a title for this release as any and Auburn X is getting back to what makes most of us feel alive, music. From his days as a member in "Hope for Tomorrow" that saw him playing the Vans Warped Tour at 18 years old, Auburn X has quietly but successfully managed to make the transition to electronic music. With "Life & Death", the journey from awakening and coming back to life are beautifully and masterfully transcribed into a musical journey. With dubstep being his weapon of choice, I can't imagine a better style of music to accurately portray what it must be like to come back to life. From start to finish the EP exudes pain, the unknown, the rush of death and the first breath of life. The deep sleep of a coma and the vast abyss of nothingness is a dark place to say the least. Mixing in drum and bass with some heavy dubs, "Life & Death" is hard hitting and resonates in your body. Throughout the EP, the common thread of neither being dead nor alive drives each track. My favorite track is the last one, "5150." The piano and it's ensuing chord progressions through the track captivate the listener as we rise from the ashes and gasp that first breath of air into our lungs.
The EP is now available on iTunes and Beatport. You can catch Auburn X headlining his first event, Bunker Buster, just north of Los Angeles on December 19th. The night will feature some of the best underground dubstep, drum and bass, and all the heavy bass you could possibly desire.

In this sweet counting song for kids, Laurie Berkner shares the story of a little pine tree who longs to be a beautifully decorated Christmas. With the help of a group of woodland animals, the little tree becomes a beacon of Christmas – and togetherness – for the whole forest.
“I love this video and how it brings to life all of the animals, the counting, the decorations, the feeling of Christmas spirit, and of course, the Little Tree itself,” says Laurie Berkner. “It’s a song that is very close to my heart. I wrote ‘Little Tree‘ hoping that the kids who heard it would see themselves in the little tree and that they would take in the song’s message: that even though they are small, they still have so much to give, just by being who they are.”
A new Laurie Berkner Christmas video for kids, Little Tree, was released today.
Watch the Little Tree music video:

St. Petersburg – Fourteen days before the St. Petersburg mayoral election, incumbent mayor Bill Foster announces that he will hire a liaison to oversee economic development in midtown.
Mayoral frontrunner Rick Kriseman, who has pledged to hire an administrator to oversee economic development in Midtown since entering the race, criticized Foster's announcement as a campaign stunt fourteen days before an election.
"Mr. Foster waited nearly 1,000 days to appoint a new liaison to Midtown," said Kriseman. "Announcing this position two weeks before an election is offensive and nothing more than an act of desperation from a mayor trying anything to hold on to power."
Stunt or not, the fact is Bill Foster completely turned his back on the South side of St. Pete after he was elected.
St. Pete needs a mayor for the whole community, not just down town.

TORONTO — Winger Adam Higson has left the Toronto Wolfpack to rejoin Leigh Centurions.
The 32-year-old back has spent the last two seasons with Toronto after leaving Leigh following its relegation from Super League in 2017. Leigh says Higson is signed through the end of the 2020 season.
"I know AJ well from back in the day when I was still playing ... He's a Leigh lad and he wants to come back and I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Leigh shirt again," Leigh coach John Duffy told the club website.
Higson made his senior debut for Leigh in 2008.
"It feels like the club I was at five or six years ago when I played my best rugby," he said. "Playing for Toronto is something I've done in my life and I enjoyed it. But now's the time to start all over again at Leigh."
Toronto (20-1-0) tops the second-tier Betfred Championship. Leigh (14-7-0) stands fourth.
In other Wolfpack news, Australian forward Darcy Lussick has been handed a one-game suspension for punching former Toronto teammate Jack Bussey in the head in a weekend win over Featherstone Rovers.
Lussick, who was sent to the sin-bin on the play, will miss Toronto's Aug. 4 game against Bradford.
Bussey, who missed the rest of the game after failing concussion protocol, received a caution for his part in the altercation.

A bit busy but you get a good idea of the beauty of the area. Big red and white cliff walls with dramatic shapes that end in a green canyon. As it is not formed by Glaciers like in Yosemite but by water so the deeper you get into the canyon the narrower it becomes. The next day we decide to do a more challenging hike. A hike that brings us to the top of the canyon. As you have to climb a lot you immediately loose the big crowds. It is an absolutely great hike with great vistas along the hike but when we get to the top at the end of the hike we were rewarded with a spectacular view over basically the whole canyon. A perfect spot for a nice picnic lunch! Facebook friends will be able to enjoy the 360 degrees picture we took here. After lunch we slowly walk down and take our time to enjoy the scenery. We do a final small hike walking deeper into the canyon but it is a bit too crowded on this walk to our liking. We take the bus back to Springdale and enjoy a nice evening in the RV park. The next morning we head off early at 6.30 am as we want to make sure that we have a spot on one of the campgrounds in Bryce Canyon. As it is first come, first serve on the campgrounds in Bryce Canyon we don't want to arrive too late.
So at 9 am we arrive in Bryce Canyon and find a beautiful spot on one of the campgrounds. After having breakfast we start to explore Bryce Canyon. The campground is in the middle of the National Park on top of the canyon in a forest and we don’t have to drive or take a bus but can do everything on foot. Bryce Canyon is sort of a horseshoe shape and when you get to the rim of the canyon you are looking down into a canyon that is filled with these bizar shaped pillar structures (called hoodoos). Every layer of a pillar has a different color ranging from white, green, yellow, red to orange and every shade of these colors imaginable. One area is called the amfitheatre and you just keep on looking at these hoodoos. A popular walk (The Queen and Navajo trail) takes you down into this amfitheatre and seriously around every corner you take you get this real american feeling of Oh My God. You just don’t know where to look. All these shapes and colors it is just overwhelming and eventhough it is quite crowded on the walk you can still enjoy the beauty of it. In the evening we enjoy a nice BBQ and an evening aorund the firepit with a nice campfire. The next day we go for a more serious hike and do the Fairyland loop. A not so crowded hike but the views are as spectacular as in the Amfitheatre and we just keep on being amazed by all the shapes and colors. Again FB friends can enjoy the 360 degrees picture I posted on FB. I think I took around 300 pictures on these 2 days we hiked here in Bryce. I can say that Bryce Canyon is definitely the highlight of the trip sofar and we’ve had many highlights on this trip already. Next day we take the scenic highway 12 and 24 to go to Moab where we will visit Arches National Park. The first part of the trip is indeed a very scenic drive where the scenery changes from driving through red rocks to on top of a vast white / yellow rocky area into an alpine like mountain area that is already in its autumn colors.
Then into a part of the Canyonlands National Park with again amazingly shaped rocks on all kinds of shapes and shades of red. Then the last part of the trip we drove through these grey colored mountains and end in this vast flatland that seems to go on forever without a bend in the road. Just before we arrive in Moab the scenery changes again into a red rock canyon scenery. Only one mishap on this trip! In Escalantes, a small village on the way, I drove an itsie pitsie too hard and was pulled over by the cute sheriff of Escalantes and got a fine for speeding. Just 115 dollars that I have to send by moneyorder from a post office within 14 days. Yes sir we will do that but first a cold beer in a bar in Moab. The next day we explore the arches in Arches National Park. No bus service or walking from the campsite but here you have to drive through the park to get to the points of interest. We do a couple of short hikes in the morning to see the rock formations like the Three Gossips and Balancing Rock of which you really think how the hell does this rock stay on top.
The formations here are not like in Bryce called hoodoos but are called Fins. So the rock formations are not pillar like but more flat slabs of rocks lined next to each other. Over time the inner parts of these fins start to fall down and thus forming Arches.Time to see some of these Arches. First we go to the viewpoint of Delicate Arch. The most popular and photograhed Arch. You get a good view of the arch although it is a bit far away. You can walk to the base of the arch but that would mean a whole day of walking and then we wouldn’t be able to see other sites in the park and decide not to do this. Instead we head to Devils point for a hike. Here we get to see several arches like Landscape Arch, Navajo Arch, Partition Arch and finally Double O Arch. The latter two with a nice view through the Arch. In the end of the afternoon we also visit the Window Arches and Double Arch that is one of the most beautiful ones in our opinion. Again a great day of hiking with some spectacular scenery. It is a bit cheesy to say but I agree with the words on my newly bought cap that says: UTAH ROCKS!
We were glad that we could leave Las Vegas. Some say you need more than 5 days to see it all but I agree with the ones that say 24 hours is more than enough. Time for a new chapter: The National parks of Utah. First stop is Zion National Park. The campsites are overflowing but we found a nice RV park just outside the park entrance in Springdale, a lovely although a bit touristy town but beatifully situated. Like in Yosemite transport is really well organized here. There is a shuttle bus service that makes a roundtrip in the canyon and you can get out at several stops where there either is a nice view or several hikes start. The first day we do a sort of introduction hike, the Emerald Pools hike.

After inadvertently wading into contentious debates over Lake Michigan beach ownership and Long Beach seawall placement last week, the House Local Government Committee decided Thursday to swim away as fast as possible.
State Rep. Denny Zent, R-Angola, the committee chairman, said he worked with the panel's top Democrat, state Rep. Chris Chyung, D-Dyer, to craft a variety of possible amendments to Senate Bill 100 addressing those two hot-button issues.
In the end, however, Zent decided only to tweak the underlying proposal, which authorizes property owners, in certain circumstances, to repair or replace a damaged or destroyed residential structure that no longer conforms to local zoning standards.
Chyung said he believes Zent opted against including the Lake Michigan and seawall provisions because House Republicans already had rejected attempts by state Rep. Doug Miller, R-Elkhart, to push those issues in House Bill 1031.
While that should ensure there's no legislative impairment this year of the right of Hoosiers to access the Lake Michigan shoreline and engage in recreational activities on the beach, numerous Region lawmakers are continuing to keep watch for last-minute surprises before the General Assembly adjourns for the year in about two weeks.
Under the Indiana Supreme Court's landmark 2018 Gunderson v. State ruling, Indiana owns, and always has, the shoreline of Lake Michigan up to the ordinary high-water mark.
That mark is defined as the line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics, such as a clear and natural line on the bank, shelving or changes in the soil's character.
Within that area, individuals are entitled to use the beach for navigation, commerce, fishing, walking and other recreational purposes, according to the state's high court.

HORRIBLE - When I received an auto loan they never disclosed they charge a $4.00 paper statement fee every month. I finally looked at my statement after several months and noticed it. I called customer service and said it was never disclosed. They stated to go online and request e statements but they could not do it for me. Why would I pay when I make direct online payments. They charge more fees than banks do and also have the worst customer service. Sadly the branches are even worse. Please check out other lending institutions before wasting your time and money with them!!
It gives me great please to post this review in relation to my outstanding experience with Grow Financial. I had never done business with Grow Financial before and decided to give them a try. Visiting the branch on Sheldon, I was assigned to work with Amanda DeJesus. I found Amanda to be extremely knowledgeable and attentive to my banking needs. If you are in need of professional banking services and outstanding customer service, I would highly recommend giving Amanda DeJesus and Grow Financial a try.
in all my years of banking this is the worst bank i have ever delt with. the service is slow, the management is non existent, the tellers are fair and few between, and the ones that are behind the counter and discourteous and arrogant. the bank does no service after 5 oclock, it has no phone service to work with. the machines on this bank are broken more then working. its a surprise its not been shut down. i would give this no star if that was possible
Great credit union, never had anything but wonderful service there. They were the only one in the area that would give me a student account with a debit card as a teenager.
Done with them, Grow is better off having no after hours service then the after hours service available now.
A Private User
This bank has to be the slowest gf. Seriously get more employees
Excellent customer service! Very friendly staff!!!!
