Precarity in late life: Rethinking dementia as a 'frailed' old age
Read the latest publication released in the February 2017 issue of Sociology of Health and Illness.
At present, there is little information about how precarity and precarious conditions carry out into late life. Our position is that policymakers and program managers require information that is grounded in empirical results, including feedback from practitioners/stakeholders and the narratives of older people. Research data on precarity & aging from this project will provide insight into the life trajectories of older people, outline the service barriers that exist for people 'aging precariously' with regards to low-income, ability and status in order to broaden existing understandings of these trajectories in scholarly research and social programming. An improved awareness of older adults' experiences and the needs that occur at the intersections of precarious aging, can for example, help find solutions for better access to and or suggest changes with regards to institutional resources in health and social care. Research results will inform the fields of social gerontology and social work as well as provide suggestions to better equip policy makers and practitioners to address the unique needs of Canada's older population.
A variety of research findings / outcomes from the project can be found below, including blog posts, tool kits, journal articles, conference contributions, project success stories, and more.
New materials are uploaded regularly, so be sure to check back often for updates.

LONDON: A clinical trial of four potential Ebola treatments in Congo has been narrowed to focus on two of the experimental drugs: Regeneron's REGN-EB3 and a monoclonal antibody called mAb114: after they showed encouraging results, scientists leading the trial said on Monday.
Two other experimental treatments – ZMapp, an intravenous treatment made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical and Remdesivir, made by Gilead Sciences, will now be dropped from the trial, the researchers said.

Her work has appeared in Paste Magazine and she holds both B.A. and B.S. degrees. our editorial process Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Anita George Updated on September 19, 2020 Game Play & Streaming Consoles & PCs Cheats & Codes Gaming Services Game Play & Streaming Mobile Gaming Tweet Share Email Discord is a popular, free voice and text chat app for gamers. But, if you're going to make the most of this communication app for gamers, you'll need to add your friends to it. There are actually several different ways to add people on Discord, including via their profile and by user search. For the purposes of this guide, the instructions that follow show how to add friends on Discord using the desktop web browser version of the Discord server dashboard. While the Discord app is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux devices, instructions for the web browser version should be enough cover how to add friends on Discord, regardless of your operating system. How to Add People on Discord: Discord User Search The fastest way to add people on Discord is to search for your friends using their Discord user tag. Login to your Discord account via the Discord app web browser login screen. From the Home screen on your Discord account's dashboard page, select Friends, located on the left-hand side of the screen. The Friends menu should open up towards the right side of your screen. At the top of the menu, select Add Friends. This will open a window containing a large search box in which you can search for your friends by their username, also known as a DiscordTag. In the large search box, type in the DiscordTag of the person you want to add. Once you've finished typing, select Send Friend Request, located at the end of the search box. The DiscordTag should consist of a case-sensitive username, a pound sign (#), and lastly your friend's 4-digit DiscordTag number. How to Add Friends on Discord: Add Via Their Profile If you didn't find your friends using search, you can try adding people via their Discord profile, but there are some caveats that apply. Before going further, it's important to note that, with this particular method, you won't be able to add a friend via their profile if they're not already part of your Discord server or you're not already joined to their server. You have to already have at least one server in common, preferably your own server. Login to your Discord app account via the web browser login web page. From your account's dashboard screen, on the far left side of the screen, select your profile icon, which is located right underneath the Home screen icon (which is basically the Discord logo). Selecting your profile icon should open your server's dashboard. On the far right side of this screen is your chat list. The person you want to add as a friend on Discord should be listed on this chat list. Right-click this person's name, then select Profile. A small, black dialog box should pop up showing your friend's profile summary. Select Send Friend Request. How to Add People on Discord: One-Click Adds You can also add someone on Discord if you've been in a chat with them before. It's a fast way to get connected to people you already talk to. Login into your Discord account via the web browser login web page. Select your profile icon, which is located on the far left side of the screen under the Home icon. Now go to your chat list, which is on the far right side of the screen. Right-click the person in your chat list you want to add. From the menu that pops up, select Add Friend.

To my Father. From Sally.
To some, our nickname for you doesn't make sense, they'd have to know
us to understand. Which, in a way, was pretty much how we lived. And is
how we still live even though you're not here anymore. I had to leave up
north before you left us, and because of that I couldn't properly say goodbye.
That still eats away at me, a year and a half later. I miss you. I wanted to say
goodbye. Be there in your last moments of clarity. Apologize for how often
we fought. I never meant to. And I never thought it would hurt this much
when you were gone... It just... Feels so wrong without you here... So wrong
to see grandpa without you... It just doesn't make any sense in my head or
in my heart...
There's so much I want to tell you. So much I want to talk to you about.
I'm getting married, probably next year. I proposed to Michael. He said yes.
I'd always imagined you at my wedding, hugging me tight in your bony arms,
and kissing my cheek, and congratulating me. Since, I know you very well
would've been able to figure out, I can't afford a whole lot of things for
the wedding. And I'm making my wedding dress myself. Which, I so wish
you were here to help me with since you were and ARE the best seamstress
I've ever known. I'd have loved to have your touch in that. It would've
made it absolutely perfect.
But you won't be here... Unfortunately... And that puts a major hole in
the wedding. It won't be perfect now with you missing from it. But, it
won't be a "Traditional" wedding anyhow. Since there's another thing
I wanna tell you about.
Michael is what you call "Trans". You know how when people are born you
know what gender they are? Well, Transgender people are different. They're
physically one gender, while in their hearts and in their minds, they're the
other gender. That's what Michael is. He's a transgender female. She he's
going to become a woman. And I'm supporting this because of how much
I love him. I don't think you would have supported this fully when you were alive...
In fact, I don't even know how you would have reacted to this news in general.
I think you would have been against it at the start, or understood it for that
matter since you lived in another time. But I think you would have gone with
it since Michael and I love each other so much. It's because of Michael I've
been able to become more responsible and take care of a lot of things better
than I used to.
I think you might be proud of me for how far I've come in the past two years.
I still cry from how much I miss you. I still wish I could've said goodbye. I still
want to hug you one last time and tell you that I love you. But I guess this'll
just have to do for now.
Know that I love you, Father. And I will know that you're watching over us and
blessing my love and my wedding. I will see you at the end of this life. I hope
you will be the one to guide me through that door of light. Guiding me with
my hand in yours. Your ever so bony, but comforting hand.
- Sally

Hacks to prevent a training slump
Maintaining your fitness is hard work and requires persistence, dedication, and motivation. Often the desire to get out and exercise comes easily, and endurance sports are popular because they are fun. But fatigue may creep in. The stressors of "real life" may pile on; the weather won't cooperate, and motivation can wane. This may result in a training slump that can be hard to shake. A few hacks can help you to get back on track.
Have a Plan
Create a training schedule to eliminate the stress of deciding what you're going to do for a workout each day. A little effort ahead of time can keep you from getting derailed. Treat your work out simply as an item on your checklist to be completed. If you don't want to create your own training schedule or don't feel equipped to determine the best workout, there are plenty of easy plan options online. For more more detail or personalization, private endurance coaches can help keep you on track.
Create Accountability
Involve other people in your training as it provides external motivation. Train with a buddy; it increases the fun and puts on a little pressure for you to follow through. Group training may be a lot more rewarding as well. Whether you are in a fitness class, attend a regular group run organized by a local club, or aweekly group bike ride, the training hours go by quickly; sometimes you even feel like you didn't suffer at all. Another way to increase accountability is to enlist the service of an endurance coach who will create a plan and evaluate your performance.
Avoid Anticipation
Don't overthink your training program. Keep your preparation time simple and just get out the door. Everyone has a constant dialogue in their head and it's easy for that dialogue to turn negative. The key is to tune it out. Zone out with music or recite a mantra. When Nike popularized the phrase "Just Do It," they keyed in on a valuable motivational tool: less thought, more action.
As training volume increases, so does fatigue. Consistent training stress can also elevate cortisol levels, which can weaken your immune system and make you grumpy. Be sure to incorporate adequate rest into any exercise plan so you can avoid the pitfalls of overtraining. And it's true what they say about absence making the heart grow fonder. A little time off can increase your drive to get back to your favorite activity.
Make a Purchase
A little bit of "retail therapy" can also go a long way when it comes to motivation. A new pair of shoes, a jersey, or a pair of shorts can be just the push you need to get out the door. It's always fun to play with a new toy and it never hurts to feel good about how you look while you're exercising.
Rediscover Your "Why"
Everyone who exercises was inspired by something, whether it was to lose weight, improve your fitness, or for the adventure. Something motivated you to take the first steps. Spend some time focusing on that inspiration and you may find the fire to exercise is rekindled.


text: Tyler Miller 443 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 This is something I wrote to articulate a struggle I've been having with my own work and to help me resolve my feelings about it. I thought I'd share because it may help others crystallize their own artistic project. I will disclaim that the contents may not sit well with you the reader, but it is not meant to be directed outward, this comes from my own perception of myself and no one else. Please bear that in mind. This is 100% an internal and personal criticism directed at myself, no one else. I've come to the conclusion that my impulses as a potter have come into conflict. On the one hand, i want to explore and understand EVERY form. i want to know why Wedgewood is beautiful, why chawan can be perfection and how to get there, how to make the most perfect imitation of a longquan celadon, or get the highest gloss possible on an attic red-figure copy. But on the other, I can't help but feel like I'm betraying myself and my own potential for a naturalistic artistic vision if I carry those desires too far. Horace and Hamada ring in my ears. I can't help but think about what Hamada said about the pretentiousness of Japanese potters adding granite to their clay to make it like the prized clays of Shigaraki that naturally had it present, or the excessive effort put into applying hake me brush strokes in a beautiful manner when the Korean potters who came up with the technique were just hoping to cover the red clay of the body. Indeed, there are many Hamada copyists who miss entirely Hamada's artistic vision. Hamada was a brilliant potter who could work in any style and formulate any glaze to fit his purpose, but he chose to be a Mashiko potter and work within the limitations of that folk tradition. The boldness and revolutionary nature wasn't his forms, it wasn't his subject matter, it was that he let those decisions make themselves as he set down roots. Leach (and Cardew) tried to do something similar, but he found that he couldn't authentically work in the English country potter tradition as he'd hoped. Cardew's attempts especially failed at making slipware commercially viable the way he'd hoped. After all, it wasn't too long after Cardew was struggling to make it work that the last old time English country potteries closed. I suspect potters like Isaac Button would've thought Cardew "daft†for being too precious with "nought but clay.†Leach's true success was his marketing. The studio potter was his invention and I'm not quite sure I properly know what being a studio potter is all about. Maybe you do. But the concept eludes me. What bothers me, however, is how many Hamada and Leach copyists exist out there. How many little brown jugs and pitchers exist, how many tea bowls are thrown, only to be an awkward way to drink Earl Grey or a latté, or how many anagamas are built in North America and Europe. It may all be a part of the natural progression of studio potters—the artist's indulgence in the process seems to be part of the process, and that's fine. But to what extent are we really just adding granite to our finely levigated clay? To what extent are we just lingering too long over how we're going to apply our slip with a rough brush, when maybe we should be thinking about how best to do justice to our art as a continuation of ourselves? It's too easy to don masks and pretend we're one thing or another. Playing at pretend is almost a right in the western world. We've allowed ourselves the luxury of saying "well, I'm pagan, but I really like buddhist meditation, and I wear a rosary to honour my great aunt, who was a nun—I can still feel her spirit with me.†To me, as I get older, this kind of pastiche of cultural appropriation seems to miss the point entirely. We can dissemble ourselves into oblivion, when the point of it all is to seek and express truth. Can a westerner truly grasp wabi-sabi? Maybe academically, but I think we only have limited choices before us when it comes to approaching another culture, we can step into it through a contextualized "window†of study, we can compartmentalize its attributes into our own, preexisting culture, or we can let it wash over us and envelope us and change us, but even then, we're never quite authentically a part of it. Disagree? Examine how you feel about immigrants who come to where you live, do they ever really become a part of your culture in your eyes? Is the person with an accent ever really American/Canadian/Mexican/British/French/Swiss/or Japanese? I want them to feel like they are, but they know as well as I do that's not an identity they get. Their children and their children's children get that, but never them. So too, I feel it is with culture. We will always have a cultural "accent†when we work within an artistic context other than our own. I'm getting pretty good at throwing Hellenic forms and I make a decent chawan, but they're not real, my Canadian accent is too thick for me to speak proper Greek (οá½Îº á½€Ïθως ἑλληνίζω). And while it's a good and acculturating experience for me to try and expose myself to different cultures and ideas, at some point it becomes an exercise in hiding from oneself. At some point that in-between space between cultures becomes an insulation. Something like: I cannot identify with my own culture, so I adopt another to act as a mask among my own people, a means of explaining myself through other peoples and hiding myself the same way. Maybe the artist has a right to do this, but I've never been comfortable with that kind of conceptual art. It seems too much like the Animé fan girls who obsess over Japanese culture and pine over its superiority in order to compensate for their own struggle to fit in. Or a friend of mine who constantly travels, with no roots anywhere. When things get "too real†in any one place, he moves on, and finds a new set of friends and a new culture. But all this begs the question? What do I do as an artist to be authentic to myself and my work? I think Horace's Ars Poetica has a venerable answer. A painter cannot legitimately paint a horse's neck with a human head and all manner of feathers and features down below. At least, not without proper context. A writer sounds ridiculous writing a day's events in purple prose. There's a proper register and justice to be done to everything. A proper way to work with clay. Indeed, i think that's what the Japanese are talking about when they talk about the "flavour†of the clay. It's like a wine's terroir. A certain kind of climate does the best justice to a certain kind of grape. And so too, I think a certain land produces a certain kind of clay, a certain culture a certain set of vessels, and a certain person a certain kind of approach. There's little place for obfuscation in this, I think. No real reason to try to appropriate another culture, at least, for any length of time. The culture you grew out of is culture enough. And really, the best artists I know, seem to shoot at something above it anyway, they look too deeply inward. Their imitators, however, seem all too superficial by comparison.

Contact Jason Hogue, Peru State College Marketing and Communications, (402) 872-2429
Peru, Nebraska- The City of Peru has proclaimed June 20, 2017, as a day to honor Peru State College's 150th Anniversary of its founding. Peru State was founded on June 20, 1867.
Dr. Hanson said, "Peru State College is grateful to the City of Peru for 150 years of support and collaboration. From the College's founders and residents of Peru, to our current neighbors, we value our ongoing partnership."
The proclamation will read, "In 1867, the same year that Nebraska became a state, the new Nebraska Legislature, with the encouragement of Peru natives William Dailey and T.J. Majors, established the first higher education institution in Nebraska, a normal school in Peru to train teachers."
Darrin Reeves, mayor of the City of Peru, said, "I am glad to officially congratulate Peru State on 150 years for the City. We're looking forward to 150 more."
On June 20, 1867, the fledgling state government of Nebraska named Peru, Nebraska, as the home of the state's first college. The college was founded as a normal school dedicated to training teachers. June 20, 2017 will be the 150th anniversary of Peru State Colleges's charter.
Peru State College's Sesquicentennial All-College Reunion is June 16-18, 2017. All Peru State alumni are invited to attend this weekend before Charter Day. Activities include an All-College Dinner and Alumni Awards; the launch of the Peru State College anniversary book by the Omaha World-Herald; workshops with faculty and staff; and many other activities and meals to let you catch-up with old friends and new!
This Sesquicentennial Charter Event Celebration will mark the charter date of June 20, 1867, of Nebraska's first institution of higher education by the Nebraska Legislature. The historic event will include daytime activities for children ages 5 years to eighth grade, Nebraska artists program and historical presentations for all ages. The evening reception and banquet will kick off with musical entertainment and an introduction of Nebraska City's Chautauqua WWI re-enactors.
Homecoming in 2017 is a special celebration of the 150th anniversary of Peru State College's founding. The Homecoming dates are scheduled the week of the first day of classes (October 24, 1867) and events include: football; volleyball; an All-Alumni Dinner featuring milestone graduation anniversaries; pep rally and bonfire; special reunion celebrations for alumni who participated in Student Senate, Board of Trustees, Pep Band, Homecoming Kings and Queens, and Cheerleading; the Toughest Mile (race); and a parade like no other!

Right on the heels of the sleek, experimental Nex 3, Vivo has announced a new phone at the mid-to-high end of the market. The V17 Pro will serve as the company's headline device in many of its regions, or for people who aren't ready to give up volume buttons just yet.
The V17 Pro has the same Snapdragon 675 processor as the V15 Pro, which was released earlier this year, but otherwise basically everything is all-new. It has 8GB of RAM as standard, the battery has been increased to 4,100mAh, and the build is a noticeably bulkier at 9.8mm thick.
Part of that bulk can be accounted for by the battery, but the new pop-up selfie camera module probably also has something to do with it. The V17 Pro has two selfie cameras, including a 32-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and both are housed in a rectangular module that rises from behind the screen. The motorized module also includes an earpiece and an LED that can provide fill lighting.
The pop-up cameras let Vivo deliver a display without large bezels or a notch, and the panel in the V17 Pro is great. It's a 6.44-inch 1080p OLED with 100-percent DCI-P3 coverage and a 20:9 aspect ratio, which is a little taller (or wider in landscape) than most phones around. The difference isn't huge, but it is noticeable and allows for a larger screen that still doesn't feel too wide across. As you can expect from Vivo, there's also an in-display fingerprint sensor.
On the back of the phone there's a quad-camera array that includes a 48-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel 2x telephoto camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera that Vivo also touts for its macro capabilities, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
It's a capable setup, but I'm not in love with the physical arrangement here — the rectangular camera bump is situated in the middle, with a raised chrome edge that you can feel whenever you're holding the phone. I'd rather Vivo had kept the cameras in the top corner, or managed to eliminate the bump altogether as stablemate Oppo has done with the Reno lineup. This is a pretty thick phone for a bump to be an issue.
The V17 Pro does still make room for a headphone jack, and notably is Vivo's first V-series phone to make the switch to USB-C. The V15 Pro's Micro USB port felt pretty anachronistic on an otherwise impressive device, so this is a welcome change.
Overall the V17 Pro is looking solid, but at 29,990 rupees ($422) in India, it could be a hard sell to many beyond hardcore selfie fans and notch haters. The choice of processor is a little surprising — the Snapdragon 675 does punch above its weight, but there are Snapdragon 855 phones like Xiaomi's Redmi K20 Pro that cost less than this.
Then again, they don't have six cameras. The V17 Pro will be available soon, starting in India.

Holyrood's Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee (DPLR) has recommended the general principles of the Contract (Third Party Rights) (Scotland) Bill be approved.
Provision for third party rights is currently recognised in Scots Law under the common law doctrine jus quaesitum tertio or JQT. This allows parties to a contract to create an enforceable right in favour of a third party.
The general aim of the Bill is to provide a new statutory framework with clearer, more usable rules on third-party rights. The Bill seeks to put the common law position on a statutory footing.
The Committee's report on the general principles of the Bill notes widespread consensus in support of the legislation. The report, however, notes a number of suggestions from stakeholders as to how the law could be made clearer.
John Scott MSP, Convener of the Scottish Parliament's Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee said:
"This Bill should deliver the flexibility and certainty that has been sought in this area of law. It is clear there is consensus and universal support for the aims of the Bill amongst the stakeholders that the Committee heard from.
"There is potential for this Bill to be a useful tool for legal practitioners and their clients. There are a number of points however, where stakeholders have suggested the clarity of the Bill could be improved and the Committee would welcome the Scottish Government's reflections on these."
Background information
This is a Scottish Law Commission Bill. Although this is a reform to a technical area of law, its provisions will affect a broad spectrum of society, not just the legal fraternity.
Evidence was taken from law bodies, legal practitioners representing financial, construction and agriculture interests, academics, architects, arbitrators, the Scottish Law Commission and the Scottish Government.
The Bill implements the legislative recommendations contained in the Scottish Law Commission's Review of Contract: Report on Third Party Rights (SLC No 245; July 2016). The Report was published as part of the SLC's wider review of contract law.

At UTEMIS we are going to have cheaters, that is part of life. So, let's explain what happens with companies or people that once they get a bad reputation they just sign up with another name.
At UTEMIS we have sophisticated techniques for avoiding cheating. For obvious reasons, not all of them can be explained here, but here are a few for cheaters to consider.
- You cannot sign up at UTEMIS and start operating, you need to be identified with valid documents.
- We have a blacklist of both people and companies. Once a person or a company hits the blacklist it will be forever banned at UTEMIS.
- The blacklist of people and companies is on the blockchain and available for UTEMIS customers. The saying used to be "once a cheater always a cheater" but with UTEMIS is "once a cheater always a public cheater"
- The moment we identify that you've cheated we will freeze your account, return the money to customers and inform that your account and your funds are frozen.
- Expect a call from our legal team. Your behavior might not only be illegal but it also might cause moral hazard for UTEMIS and for its customers.
UTEMIS's pre-ICO will be between January 8, 2018 until March 8, 2018, more detailed information on this project can be found at UTEMIS- UTS, along with access to their introductory video, and Whitepaper.

Between 2014-2017 Young Pioneer Tours ran group and independent tours to Venezuela, or to give its full pomp and ceremony the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The YPT yearly trip and homage to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was extremely popular, and if you have been on and enjoyed a DPRK or Cuba tour with us, then this would have been the trip for you. We did all the socialist government stuff by meeting people very involved in the ongoing revolution, the mausoleum of Mr Chavez, and more socialist art than you can shake a stick at, all the while staying at the former Hilton, the very Yanggakdo-esque Alba Hotel. We also took time in Caracas to check out the opposition take on things, as well everything there is to do with Simon Bolivar.
The second part of the trip had us flying down to Ciudad Bolivar, a colonial city where independence was declared before embarking on a plane geeks dream, 6 pax propeller planes up to Angel Falls.
The Angel Falls part was no less adventurous with us taking a boat up to the falls and camping out in the jungle for 2 nights before transferring back to Caracas via Bolivar, with the tour generally being combined with our May Day tour to Cuba.
Obviously, things have become a lot less stable in Venezuela over the last few years, so we are not currently offering Venezuela Tours.
Currently independent travel to Venezuela is not recommended, but we have some excellent guides in Venezuela and beyond for when things do improve.
As things stand we are not currently planning any 2020 tours to Venezuela, although we are always keeping our eyes open with hope that things do change, and we can again visit Venezuela.

Greetings friends and family,
The last blog post contained a "before" picture of Layla's teeth. She bravely strapped on a gas mask, received the shots, and allowed the dentist to yank out her two front teeth.
She was the happiest patient the dentist will see this week. I'm sure of that because I've never heard of a person so excited to get their teeth pulled out. She proudly showed me her two teeth in the tiny plastic container the dentist gave her.
She placed the container under her pillow and woke up to find 4 dollar bills. She said, "I know the tooth fairy doesn't exist. You'll be the one to put the money under my pillow. Maybe you can wear one of my tutus and fairy wings?" I didn't agree to that, but I confirmed I am the tooth fairy who will pay her dearly for the teeth. She put the dollars in her money containers (1 in give, then 1 in save, then 2 in spend). My favorite part of this experience was her happy heart as she put the dollars into the correct containers in the correct order. It's amazing what a child considers normal when parents role model, teach, and expect.
Easton had strep throat. His quick spike in fever, sore throat, and lack of appetite resulted in a trip to the pediatrician. They quickly diagnosed his strep throat and we immediately put him on meds. Kendra and Layla both were tested and came back negative (hooray). Kendra cooked homemade chicken noodle soup to help Easton feel better quicker. He was so down and out that he didn't even want me to take a picture of him. poor little guy. 24 hours later he was back to normal and the band played on.
Kendra wanted the van to be cleaned so the 4 Webbs and Rebehka lined up our cars for an old fashioned car wash. Kendra started in on the van and the twins asked "can i have a rag to help wash?" Of course they can! Just another example of whatever the parents do (take care of their vehicles) the kids are sure to follow. I got that from my dad and gladly pass on the tradition of taking care of what we have.
Our weekend roommate, Rebehka, joined the 4 Webbs. Her car was dirty so she joined the cleaning bonanza. After a few swipes with the soapy cloth she said, "I've never washed a car. how do you do this?" I was surprised someone could be 22 years old without ever washing a car. Even so, I gladly jumped in with an explanation of the basics on how to wash a car. Easton and Layla jumped in with their rags and scrubbed it clean.
Not to be left out, they asked, "Can we clean our Y Bikes?" "Yes! yes you can", I replied. I smiled and proudly helped them scrub the dust off their vehicles. I was proud to see the way they put into practice what we teach them. Now, if only they'll do that with everything we role model...
Layla's love for ice skating is growing even though her chances of continuing through the summer are shrinking. I drove the twins over to Gilbert for Layla's lesson where she is blooming into an ice dancer before my eyes. After the lesson was over we stayed another hour because she kept on skating and begging for more ice time.
Her balance and strength are working to her advantage. All it takes is a little practice! Easton spent this time working on his photography skills. I sat him on the wall separating the hockey team's bench from the ice. He used my camera and we played with the settings to capture these pictures. This one below was taken by Easton. It was trickier than it may appear because the mob of people flowing past made it a real hole-in-one to take a clean picture as she passed by.
Saturdays are crowded with people. It is the other end of the extreme spectrum from when we were virtually alone in the building at the Chandler facility. We took a little break as the Zamboni machine cleaned up the mess. Easton wants to drive one. Big surprise there.
Another spontaneous thing we did was costume dinner night. About once per month I declare costume night where we eat dinner together in character. We scramble to find what princess or superhero we'd like to be for the evening. Easton and I are both Spiderman. Layla is princess Aurora. Kendra didn't participate because she doesn't have any costumes. Mother's Day and her birthday are coming! I foresee costumes in her future...
We cranked up the music and danced the night away after dinner.
You'd be surprised how much happiness can be expressed by just dancing around and being silly in costumes.
Saturday was a Daddy day because Kendra had several social and ministry gatherings. The twins and I were at home with an hour to kill so we did one of the things I've always wanted to do. We made a volcano. I used a paper plate, a shot glass, tin foil, and a big cooking sheet to catch the mess. I didn't go the extra step to use food coloring so that the eruption is lava red. I didn't know how big of a mess it would make. We'll try the food dye next time.
Then we spent another 20 minutes or so debriefing about chemical reactions and hypothesizing about other experiments. I've created science monsters! Hopefully this will continue through their schooling. Here's a video clip of the experiment. More than anything it shows Easton's personality. It's not all that thrilling, but to a six-year-old it was magnificent.
Kendra leaves on Tuesday for 7 days. That's right. The longest I've ever been alone with the kids and the house. I'm not scared or worried. It's just a lot of extra effort to juggle work and kids and house. I always have a deeper appreciation for single parents after going through something like this. The truth is, I'll miss her very much and don't want to be away from her for this long. I'm looking forward to Daddy Week!
see you soon

Would Floyd Mayweather, at his advanced age of 40 with a net worth of hundreds of millions, risk his health in a real fight or would he possibly consider to fix that fight to make sure he had no chance of getting hurt?
Does Floyd Mayweather care about the honor and integrity of boxing more than he cares about filling his pockets with people's hard earned dollars?
Does Floyd Mayweather know he has the establishment protection of the WBC, Nevada State Commission, gambling syndicates and Al Haymon or does he believe all his fights have been and will be contested on a completely level playing field for himself and his opponent?
Would Floyd "My health and self-preservation are more important than money" Mayweather and Conor McGregor agree to fix a fight where both box gently for twelve rounds and nobody gets hurt and potentially earn $100 million each – or would they both insist that they want the fight to be 100% real with danger, tension, grudge, personal insults, hostility, animosity and minimal respect?
Would Conor McGregor's future UFC drawing power suffer any depreciation if he were to lose a respectable decision to Mayweather, or would his fame and popularity actually grow by participating in a high-profile professional boxing match with Mayweather?

The future of baseball in Portland looks lush.
Today, the Portland Diamond Project announced an "agreement in principle" with the Port of Portland for the purchase of a little-used dock space.
Though the details of the agreement are still shrouded in mystery, the Diamond Project also released a series of renderings for a massive baseball stadium near the Willamette River.
The plan includes a retractable dome roof, a stage, a river boardwalk and, perhaps most notably, an aerial tram.
It's grandiose and would be unlike anything that currently exists in Portland.
And, as a non-sports fan, I have some questions.
1. Why is it so big? Is this an adult theme park? Baseballandia?
Sure, my sports knowledge is limited to a few Blazers games, and my fascination lies mostly in watching hoards of competitive beer guzzlers yell things like "Defense," "Let's go Blazers," and my favorite, while the opposing team is shooting, "Oooooooooooohhhhh."
I've also never, in all my life, watched a baseball game. But this just seems like a lot.
When asked if Portlanders are enthusiastic enough to fill a stadium this large, John McIsaac, a Portland Diamond Project spokesperson says: "Absolutely. This is a sports town. The Blazers, Timbers and Thorns sell out regularly."
2. Is baseball that high a priority?
Wouldn't you rather the billions of dollars it would probably cost to build this behemoth go towards things Portlanders actually care about—like a craft rehabilitation center for non-recyclable garbage or, I don't know, affordable housing?
McIsaac adds that projected costs are confidential, and that building affordable housing is still a consideration.
"It is our hope for affordable housing in this neighborhood," he says, "and I'd say we'll likely have it, but I don't know how much. It's hard to say what the master plan will be at this point."
3. What the hell is a tram doing in a baseball stadium?
The stadium's backers call it a "gondola," and say people who pay extra will be able to ride back and forth to the outfield. Is this another way of saying the people with expensive box seats can glide back-and-forth in a showy glass box to talk to their other aerial friends about aerial things?
McIssac says maybe.
"This is a stadium design concept at this point, and nothing's set in stone," he says. "I'm not sure what the tram's purpose is. Maybe to take fans from an entrance to a suite of some kind?"
4. Will people be able to watch games from the Willamette River?
If I can't afford to flaunt my wealth from a tram, will I at least be able to eat peanuts and crackerjacks and watch the 'ol ball game from an inflatable raft out back?
"That would be great," McIssac says. "We don't know for sure [if it's possible] yet."
5. Will Ciara perform at all the halftime shows?
I know baseball games don't have halftimes. But as one of Portland Diamond Project's investors, I think Ciara should have the right to change that. Or at least tweet at Ted Wheeler to hold a vote on it.

Meet X-Force in the Final Deadpool 2 Trailer
Posted on April 19, 2018 by Zach
The final Deadpool 2 trailer is here with even more hilarious gags and sweet burns on other comic book franchises. Wade (Ryan Reynolds) has to assemble a team of mutants he dubs X-Force to stop Cable (Josh Brolin), a cybernetic killer from the future, from killing a seemingly innocent kid, Russell (Julian Dennison). Wade's team includes Domino (Zazie Beats), Bedlam (Terry Crews), Shatterstar (Lewis Tan), Peter (Rob Delaney) and his old buddies Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) and Dopinder (Karan Soni). TJ Miller, Morena Baccarin and Leslie Uggams are also back from DP 1 and Bill Skarsgard, Shioli Kitsuna, Eddie Marsan and Jack Kesy are also here in as yet undisclosed roles. David Leitch, director of Atomic Blonde and the upcoming Rock/Statham Fast & Furious spin-off, is directing and it's out on May 18th (which cannot get her fast enough). Check out the final trailer below.

Timely piece since it's going up to 91°F today.
Ever since I started living in an urban environment (and had to install my own window air conditioner), I've wondered how likely a unit is to fall out and hurt someone. You certainly begin to wonder when you see some AC units propped up by bricks or wooden blocks — and some aren't propped up at all. I know I question their safely and I try to avoid walking underneath them (I also avoid walking under fire escapes for a similar reason). But you can't hide from them all.
Someone on Quora answered the question and found the death rates to be "statistically insignificant". The Village Voice did some more research and couldn't find any incident of death by AC. A few serious injuries but nothing deadly. But even though the probability is so small, that doesn't mean can't or won't happen.
Be safe out there New Yorkers… Better to stay inside where your AC keeps your head cool instead of taking it off.

For many years, Chongqing Television has run a program with several episodes a week called 'Fog City Night Tales,' or Wuduyehua雾都夜话.
Chinese people nationwide know Chongqing as both 'Mountain City' and 'Fog City.' Indeed, the low elevation of Sichuan, locked in on all sides by mountain ranges, plus the humidity from its extensive waterways, often combine to produce fog that envelops the city anytime out of the summer.
So it became the title for one of CQTV's best known exports to the rest of China, Fog City Night Tales, broadcast late in the evenings for a true in name, true in nature piece of entertainment programming.
From the outset, the twenty minute long episodes have always filmed by local amateur performers on an obviously low budget. However, despite the constraints of resources, the TV program does possess a cetain charm that appeals to enough of an audience to keep the show running. That is, the light Chongqing dialect the actors speak, the down-to-earth plots that depict the tough daily rigeurs affecting the less affluent portions of society, the conflict between pre and post Mao era generations, and the portrayal of Chongqing ladies famous for their 'spicy' temperaments.
Sometimes, epsiodes are run as a short series based on the same plot, while others are produced individually, so this doesn't class as a continuous soap opera, a popular format in countries like the UK where Eastenders and Coronation Street have run uninterrupted for many a decade.
For readers unfamiliar with Chongqing and its dialect, you can still take a fairly realistic glance into people's way of life, society, cuisine, and even famous city locations from time to time.
Unfortunately, there are only Chinese subtitles, making the show a rather incomprehensible for most foreign viewers, but for learners with access to the TV channel or Youku, the actors speak in a light version of Chongqing dialect, where Mandarin speakers can pick up words and turns of phrase, whilst not having to necessarily follow the subtitles all the time.
I came across Wu-du-ye-hua very early into my days in Chongqing, and it certainly helped me come to grips with the local dialect to some extent. Since those early days, I have never watched the program on a regular basis, and barely even watch TV at all nowadays, in fact.
Nevertheless, I would recommend you take a look for yourself. I recorded a twenty minute episode this morning to share with you in this blog post.
In a nutshell, this episode portrays a poor married couple who are considering whether to have a child. The husband, under great pressure from his mother, is keen to have one, but his wife is highly reluctant because of their tight financial situation. Also, her work colleague reminds her every day about the pressure and tribulations of child rearing, that only add to her feelings of reticence.
Enjoy!https://chongqinglife.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/vc1.mov https://chongqinglife.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/vc2.mov https://chongqinglife.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/vc3.mov https://chongqinglife.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/vc4.mov

US envoy to Israel David Friedman has said the Trump administration's peace plan is an attempt to "think out of the box and capture the imagination and hopes of both sides for a better life".
Speaking to the Jerusalem Post yesterday, the ambassador rejected claims that there is a lack of interest from both Israelis and Palestinians in what the White House has to offer.
"I don't think there is a lack of interest; I think there is exhaustion and frustration from so many previous failed efforts," Friedman said.
Friedman told the paper that the administration is continuing to "calibrate" matters and is "cognizant of all the factors implicated by the roll out [of the plan]", which is said to be scheduled for after Ramadan in June.
READ: In leaky White House, Trump team keeps Middle East peace plan secret
"The Palestinian people deserve the opportunity to consider a meaningful alternative to the status quo, as does Israel," he said. "We see value in presenting that vision, even if the initial Palestinian leadership reaction is negative," Friedman declared.
The ambassador, a long-time supporter of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, claimed that the Trump administration would be approaching the issue from the point of view of a final framework, rather than incremental steps.
"Our view is that people need to understand the endgame before they begin," he said.
"There have been many 'bridges to nowhere' precisely because everyone was focused on the process, even to the exclusion of the result," he added.
READ: US Middle East peace plan to be released after Ramadan
"History tells us that this approach will continue to fail."
Friedman told the paper that steps taken by the current administration should be irreversible by future US governments.
"I can't get into a political discussion, but I strongly believe that what President Trump has done in this region should and will be preserved, well beyond his remaining (hopefully six) years in office."

@Gunnar. Can I do this bug? I was planning a short description of the main different ways of installing desktop Ubuntu - I think there are many different ways (eg the alternative downloads) so I wasn't planning to try to mention all of them - with links to detailed documentation (where such documentation exists). As an example link the recommended system requirements for the latest desktop LTS are here:
I think the links will have to be to Canonical-
I wasn't planning to cover the details of installation at all (choose keyboard layout, enter username, etc, etc). I'll leave that stuff to the linked documents or the installer itself, which is now pretty good.

@Chris: It's fine to use the bug report for discussion.
This topic is a can of worms and, to be honest, my personal view is that a short description wouldn't add much value. I often point people to the page you mentioned, which covers the basics.
Areas which could be better documented (somewhere), and where people often encounter difficulties, is problems due to UEFI/secure boot when installing alongside Windows and problems with graphics drivers for certain hardware. There are many, many questions on those things at e.g. Ask Ubuntu. But a useful and up to date documentation of it would require expert input, and I feel that such documentation should be written and maintained by Canonical rather than those who maintain the desktop guide. It should be noted that installation matters isn't an Ubuntu desktop specific topic. It's basically the same for the server and the flavors.
And, of course, there is a comprehensive (but rather technical) installation guide already:
This bug report is 10 years old, and I have a feeling that the available guidance is far better today compared to when the bug was filed. I tend to think that the status of the ubuntu-docs task ought to be "Won't Fix". Awaiting your response before changing it, though.

Hi Gunnar, below I give my (revised) idea of a "short description". It's basically links to www.ubuntu.com but www.ubuntu.com doesnt organise the info in this way (why not?).
[ Start of page ]
The process is typically this:
Check the recommended system requirements:
Download the ISO.
Burn a DVD:
or create a bootable USB stick:
Check your computer is compatible with Ubuntu:
Back up your data.
Install Ubuntu:

Strictly speaking info on installing Ubuntu doesn't belong in the desktop help but in my opinion it's an obvious place to look for it. As far as I can see there's no exact equivalent to the above text at www.ubuntu.com (why not?). If there was we could just link to it.
Would something like this be of use to (some) users?

I disagree on the obviousness.

If you see room for improvements as regards how those pages are structured, wouldn't it be smarter to file an issue?

OK. So can we change the status of this bug to "Won't Fix" (as you suggest) on the grounds that the desktop help doesn't cover installation at all (which includes any overview of installation and documentation of any installation-
Thanks for the github link. I'll have a look and I may well file an issue.

Yeah, let's close the ubuntu-docs task. Possibly the ubiquity task should be closed as well, but I leave it open for now.

Callville Bay Launch Ramp Opening Delayed by Weather
Improvements to the Callville Bay launch ramp have been delayed by a few weeks because of the weather.
A project to demolish, remove and then replace the launch ramp at the popular boating spot started in August.
According to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the project was delayed by the thunderstorms that rolled through southern Nevada in the last few weeks of August.
Recreation area officials also decided to add to the project, including extending a sidewalk and adding striping.
When finished, the launch ramp will have a v-grooved reinforced concrete for better traction and drainage.
The timeline for the launch to be finished is now set for mid-October, park officials said.

WINDHOEK More than five years after they first pleaded not guilty to mega corruption charges in the Windhoek High Court, former Public Service Commission chairperson, Teckla Lameck, her business partner, Jerobeam Kongo Mokaxwa, and Chinese national, Yang Fan, still maintained their innocence when they pleaded afresh before High Court Judge Christi Liebenberg yesterday.
Yesterday, Lameck as accused 1, Fan as accused 2 and Mokaxwa as accused 3 were asked to plead after they were informed of the charges against them and all three pleaded not guilty on all charges.
Advocate Gerson Hinda SC, who is defending all three on the instructions of Sisa Namandje, informed the court that the pleas were in accordance with their instructions and Namandje proceeded to read a statement on their plea into the record. According to the plea explanation, the accused shall demonstrate during the trial that the investigation against them was marred with unfair practices and that the investigating officers of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) abused their powers and came to court with dirty hands.
It was further stated in the plea explanation that the defence would vehemently object to certain evidentiary material being presented to court as the ACC agents procured it in a biased, most unlawful and unfair manner with a total lack of impartiality and as such heavily infringed on the Constitutional rights of the defendants.
The statement went on to address the various charges and the defence it intends to adopt, which in all cases is a blanket denial of any wrongdoing.
The trio faces mega corruption charges related to the purchase of scanners for the Ministry of Finance to be used at border posts and the purchase of trucks for Namibia Contract Haulage.
Lameck and Mokaxwa previously worked at the Swapo Party company and Fan was a representative for the Chinese company, Nuctech, from where the Ministry of Finance sourced the scanners.
The matter is to begin afresh before Judge Liebenberg after the trio succeeded in removing Judge Maphios Cheda from their trial for perceived bias.
While Lameck and Mokaxwa alone is accused of defrauding the Swapo-owned company where they worked with at least US$144,000 for the purchase of four tipper trucks, they, together with Fan, are accused of a range of charges under the Anti-Corruption Act.
It is alleged that Lameck, Fan and Mokaxwa duped government, through the Ministry of Finance, into paying an inflated price of US$55,348,800 for scanners to be used at airports and border posts.
In fact, the State alleges, the price was inflated by US$12,828,800 meant as 'commission' for Teko Trading, which facilitated the transaction.
The other charges the trio face � Lameck (18), Mokaxwa (12) and Fan (6) � relate to transgressions of the Immigration Control Act, the Prevention of Organised Crime Act and further contraventions of the Anti-Corruption Act.
The two Namibians and the Chinese national were arrested on July 8 and 9, 2009, in Windhoek in connection with the alleged massive fraud scam contract, through which the Ministry of Finance bought security scanning equipment from a Chinese company.
Lameck and Mokaxwa are currently free on bail of N$50,000 each and Yang on bail of N$1 million.
The State is represented by Advocate Dominic Lisulo assisted by Advocate Constance Moyo.

At the start of Much Ado about Nothing, the messenger informs the people of Messina that Don Pedro and his soldiers have returned from a victorious battle. When the messenger mentions Benedick who is a brave soldier, loyal to Prince Don Pedro, smart, rich, witty, generous and handsome, Beatrice makes sarcastic comments about him. Wit is mostly used through Beatrice and Benedick's love hate relationship. An example of wit in Act one is when Beatrice makes fun of Benedick, indicating that he is not a very skilled soldier and Beatrice will eat all of his killings that she describes is none.
"I pray you, how many hath he killed and eaten in these wars? But how many hath he killed? For indeed I promise to eat all of his killings"
The obvious comical scene within Act 1 is distributed with the two protagonists Beatrice and Benedick. In Shakespearean period the role of women in society was to have little power however Beatrice goes against that by being witty and clever with smart remarks. Due to her continuous conflict against Benedick, she produces comedy in the form of mocking physical features and aspects of his personality. Beatrice speaks arrogantly and hostilely towards Benedick, which then further goes against conformity. This is shown by the way she condemns Benedick portraying him as a disease named the "Benedick" that is easier caught than the plague. The use of these words is humorous due to the fact she always wants the upper hand in the competition of wit, outsmarting the notorious Benedick.
"O Lord, he will hang upon him like a disease! He is sooner caught than the pestilence, and the taker runs presently mad."
We can infer that there are numerous attributes that contribute to the humor and comedy of Act 1 in Much Ado about Nothing, the most noticeable element is the battle of wit between Beatrice and Benedick.
During the masked ball, the prince Don Pedro planned to make Beatrice and Benedick fall in love by trickery. The scene from Act 2 that is set in a garden and the audience can see musicians playing and singing a song that creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Beatrice and one of Don Pedro's soldiers sung "sigh no more ladies, sigh no more". This song explains the difference between men and women. The men must fight for their nation while the women must stay at home, they do not have a choice and tells women to not be possessive and to be happy with their life. Dramatic irony is used in the play to create the illusion of suspense, comedy and can cause conflict between the characters. Dramatic irony is illustrated when Beatrice and Benedick appear to hate each other, but they each over hear that the other loves them. During these events the audience knows that Beatrice and Benedick are being tricked whilst the characters know nothing of it. Don Pedro successfully achieved his plan, he knows that Benedick was eavesdropping into his conversation with Claudio and Leonato. During this scene slapstick is used when Benedick is so surprised that Beatrice is in love with him that he falls in his deck chair.
Alternative example of dramatic irony is after Benedick knows that Benedick is in love with him, Don Pedro tells Beatrice to fetch him for dinner and while Beatrice tells Benedick that it is time for dinner, she is insulting him but he is not replying to her wits because he thinks that she's in love with him.
"So you took pleasure in bringing me this message?"
"Yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's point and choke a daw withal. You have no stomach, Signior. Fare you well."
Hero and Claudio plan on getting married
