On this, the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ movement, we pause to remember the activists and scholars within and outside of counseling psychology. It is not possible to assemble an exhaustive list of all of the individuals who have been and are currently embroiled in the fight for queer and transgender equity. It is important, though, to pause and reflect on some of the people who have fought and continue to fight for queer and transgender people around the world. It is our hope that they will serve as inspiration and as sources of encouragement as we continue a battle that, in many respects, has only just begun, with challenges continuing in religious institutions and the military.
Historical Context
"The original pride was riot." You may have heard this or similar phrases on social media over the years. The phrase is popping up with more regularity as we approach the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots that started on June 28, 1969. The first gay pride marches in US history were held on the one-year anniversary of the riots. Stonewall was actually the first of a series of riots and protests that included the riot at Cooper's Do-nuts in 1959 and the riot at Compton's Cafeteria in 1966.
We recognize that transgender women of color were at the forefront of these uprisings and continue to be central to the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. The advances for LGBTQ+ community that have been made over the past five decades are certainly nothing to balk at, but the most marginalized within our community, queer and trans people of color, have often been and still are left behind.
In this counseling psychology space, a place where empowerment and social justice advocacy are encouraged, we want to take a moment to reflect on the inspiring lives of some of the trailblazers in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, all of whom were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots.
- Marsha P. Johnson, a black, queer, trans woman who was an activist, drag performer, and sex worker. She died under mysterious circumstances in 1992, but her story lives on thanks to documentaries such as The Life and Death of Marsha P. Johnson.
- Sylvia Rivera, a Latina trans activist who co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR). She fought tirelessly to help homeless LGBTQ youth and highlighted that the LGBTQ movement needed to be more inclusive of different genders, classes, and racial identities.
- Miss Major Griffin-Gacy, a black trans woman, has dedicated much of her life to fighting for justice for incarcerated transgender people and is currently the executive director of the Transgender Gender Variant Intersex Justice Project.
Counseling Psychologists
Against this historical backdrop, The Counseling Psychologist continues to feature articles about transgender and non-binary psychology and health. The most recent issue included 3 articles on transgender and non-binary topics. These articles and other resources have been and are being produced by scholars and advocates in the counseling psychology community.
- lore m. dickey, a provider at North County Health Care, will be recognized this year at the 2019 American Psychological Association Convention with an APA Award for Distinguished Contribution in the Public Interest for his advocacy and scholarship.
- Anneliese Singh, president elect of Division 17 and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at University of Georgia, is the author of a many important transgender and non-binary works, such as The Queer and Transgender Resilience Workbook, and is listed in Trans Bodies, Trans Selves as a leading transgender advocate.
- Stephanie Budge, an associate professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, runs a Trans Research Lab, producing innovative literature in transgender health.
- Elliott Tebbe, assistant professor at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has written extensively on gender, including about how to enhance scholarship focused on transgender issues.
- Emmie Matsuno, soon to be graduate from University of California Santa Barbara, is a prolific writer and co-author on a recent fact sheet on non-binary gender identities as well as co-discussant for a webinar on experiences of non-binary graduate students.
We invite counseling psychologists to draw inspiration from the advocates listed here and from the many others we didn't have space to name. In honor of this PRIDE anniversary, we hope counseling psychologists will take a moment to reflect on what each of us can do to contribute to a more just, affirming world for queer and transgender people.
Chloe Goldbach (she/her), MS, is a second-year graduate student in the counseling psychology doctoral program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She holds a BA in psychology, BS in mechanical engineering, and MS in biomedical engineering, all from the University of Florida.

If you're like me and you've wondered why your table doesn't have embedded lights on it, then you're in luck. Intrepid designer Dennis Vetu has just what you need.
Embedded with 1,700 LEDs, it is said to be "a metaphor for the circle of life itself." It certainly looks like it with the tree-shaped design of the lights. These Arbonata Light Tables come in two colors, Black (more of a mahogany though) and Bamboo.
It's currently being made by company nKcharms and they supposedly can do away with the tree-hugging design and go with anything the customer wants. For an environmentally-conscious company though, wouldn't a table that produces light be less eco-friendly, creating a carbon footprint and all that. Also to note: the company images are all renders so we're not quite sure if there even is a prototype of this thing.
For me, I'd probably just swap out the LEDs with lasers and annoy the heck out of the cat.

Life through a Fisheye
My self-portrait using a full 180 degree fisheye lens on a still camera.
Logan is a good friend and from time to time he helps me shoot and edit my own tutorials for my workshops and talks. We meet often to share ideas and talk about concepts for upcoming projects. When discussing his upcoming Imax film he told me his ideas and ask for some direction on cool Texas locations. He mentioned the problem of shooting so many locations in the limited time he would have access to the rented camera gear and crew needed to shoot such a project.
I mentioned my ability to shoot interval-timed exposures. This means that my still camera can be set-up to shoot an image every 1 to 15 seconds for as long as you have card space. This was great news to Logan. It meant he could focus on shooting the motion stuff while I did the still time lapse images. Definitely more bang for the buck! The idea was to use the still images along with the motion images together in the final film. Another reason this plan was so perfect is because it helped Logan keep the crew small and efficient allowing quick movement from location to location. Often only staying in one area long enough to capture a sunset then moving to another location to capture a sunrise. The gear used to make an Imax film is very expensive that means " time is money"!
Logan with one of two digital cameras used to make the "Skylines of Texas"
This project is for the Imax dome theaters, which presented a challenge. My still camera would need to have a complete 180-degree lens, which is a very specialized 4mm lens and not often used. In fact as far as we could tell, never used for an Imax film. After a few calls to the larger rental houses, no one was able to help which says a lot because DFW has some of the best gear rentals houses in the country. Logan had better luck and found out that the lens used for the Imax camera is a Nikon mount. Turns out this lens is a rare piece of glass and is made in small factory in Japan. We're were able to get our hands on a second 180 lens for my camera and we hit the road.
This is a raw unedited sample of some of the recent images we've shot. I have to say I'm very impressed with Logan. In the first place this 20 something guy is completely self taught, an amazing director, producer and shooter. In the next place he was able to rework the still images from my camera and correct the perspective to a normal lens. You'll see the original capture in the top of the frame as you view the images.

Outstanding blog. My personal favorite camera is the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS. I wrote a review for it, please let me know what you think:
UPDATE: This camera is currently on sale at Amazon. You can find the link here:
If you need a solid, reliable, and stylish point-and-shoot ultracompact digital camera that produces high-quality images, then the new Canon PowerShot SD1100IS may be right for you.
I am an advanced amateur photographer and own 2 Canon digital cameras (G2 and 20D). Both have served me well over the years but recently I have found myself needing a decent ultracompact camera that I can easily carry with me at all times for unexpected photo-ops.
Other current Canon models that I also researched before my purchase of the "bohemian brown" SD1100IS included the SD950IS and the SD1000.
Here is my take on the SD1100IS:
- 8MP CCD sensor with DigicIII processor (excellent resolution images with good dynamic range)
- Solid construction (most of body made of anodized aluminum)
- Feels sturdy and well-balanced in the hands
- Easy to use (logical user-interface) with minimal need to consult owner's manual for basic operation
- Multiple shooting modes to fit variety of situations (action/sports mode is a glaring omission but read section below to see possibly why)
- Advanced metering system with accurately exposed pics in even "tricky" situations (great balance of highlights and shadows)
- Tack-sharp images (much more so with sufficient lighting and use of built-in flash)
- Macro mode can result in stunning close-ups with outstanding level of detail
- Optical IS feature helpful when shooting in either low-light conditions with flash off or at telephoto lengths
- Fast start-up with acceptable shutter-lag (when not using flash)
- Bright 2.5" LCD monitor (100% coverage, 230k pixels) made of polycrystalline silicon; fairly scratch-resistant (can't vouch if this applies to keys and coins)
- Optical viewfinder (though only a tiny peephole, it is essential when LCD glare and washout become an issue shooting in bright sunlight or when LCD cannot be used as battery power is nearly depleted)
- Camera made in Japan (at least those from the 1st shipment; this easily may be subject to change)
- Lack of manual control over aperture, shutter speed, and focusing (for the obssessive control-freaks)
- Noise is noticeable beginning at ISO 400 (ISO 800 still useable but probably for only 4x6 images; ISO 1600 mostly unuseable)
- Fastest shutter speed is 1/1500 sec (not fast enough to stop action for some sporting activities)
- Auto-focus speed inadequate to follow fast-moving subjects
- Shutter-lag accentuated with flash on (precious Canon moments lost while waiting for flash to recharge)
- Cannot adjust focus or optical zoom while shooting in movie mode (focus is fixed for distance selected at first frame, and digital zoom is permitted instead, resulting in significant image quality deterioration)
- Battery/memory card cover and hinge made of plastic (no safety latch that needs to be de-activated first before sliding cover out, in order to prevent accidental opening)
- Minor vignetting and chromatic aberration (albeit, difficult not to expect from compact p&s)
- Pincushion and barrel distortion at the extremes of the focal lengths
- No RAW shooting mode
Battery power in camera mode with LCD monitor on is mostly as advertised, allowing for approximately 240 images. If your budget permits, I recommend investing in a few spare batteries as backups and replacing the supplied 32MB memory card with a pair of 4GB SDHC memory cards--vital purchases if you plan to use the movie mode frequently.
Overall Impression:
Even with some serious limitations inherent to virtually all digital cameras in this class, I am recommending the Canon PowerShot SD1100IS. It does what it's supposed to do. This camera allows one to take beautiful photographs in an ultracompact, reliable, and elegant device that is both easy and fun to use.

By Grant Allen
About six miles north of the original Paris stands the great Basilica of St. Denis--the only church in Paris, and I think in France, called by that ancient name, which carries us back at once to the days of the Roman Empire, and in itself bears evidence to the antiquity of the spot as a place of worship. Around it, a squalid modern industrial town has slowly grown up; but the nucleus of the whole place, as the name itself shows, is the body and shrine of the martyred bishop, St. Denis. Among the numerous variants of his legend, the most accepted is that in which the apostle of Paris carries his head to this spot from Montmartre. Others say he was beheaded in Paris and walked to Montmartre, his body being afterward translated to the Abbey; while there are some who see in this legend a survival of the Dionysiac festival and sacrifice of the vine-growers round Paris--Denis--Dionysius--Dionysus.
However that may be, a chapel was erected in 275 above the grave of St. Denis, on the spot now occupied by the great Basilica; and later, Ste. Genevieve was instrumental in restoring it. Dagobert I., one of the few Frankish kings who lived much in Paris, built a "basilica" in place of the chapel (630), and instituted by its side a Benedictine Abbey. The church and monastery which possest the actual body of the first bishop and great martyr of Paris formed naturally the holiest site in the neighborhood of the city; and even before Paris became the capital of a kingdom, the abbots were persons of great importance in the Frankish state.
The desire to repose close to the grave of a saint was habitual in early times, and even (with the obvious alteration of words) ante-dated Christianity--every wealthy Egyptian desiring in the same way to "sleep with Osiris." Dagobert himself was buried in the church he founded, beside the holy martyr; and in later times this very sacred spot became for the same reason the recognized burial place of the French kings. Dagobert's fane was actually consecrated by the Redeemer Himself, who descended for the purpose by night, with a great multitude of saints and angels.
The existing Basilica, tho of far later date, is the oldest church of any importance in the neighborhood of Paris. It was begun by Suger, abbot of the monastery, and sagacious minister of Louis VI. and VII., in 1121. As yet, Paris itself had no great church, Notre-Dame having been commenced some 50 years later. The earliest part of Suger's building is in the Romanesque style; it still retains the round Roman arch and many other Roman constructive features. During the course of the 50 years occupied in building the Basilica, however, the Gothic style was developed; the existing church therefore exhibits both Romanesque and Gothic work, with transitional features between the two, which add to its interest. Architecturally, then, bear in mind, it is in part Romanesque, passing into Gothic. The interior is mostly pure Early Gothic.
The neighborhood to Paris, the supremacy of the great saint, and the fact that St. Denis was especially the Royal Abbey, all combined to give it great importance. Under Suger's influence, Louis VI. adopted the oriflamme or standard of St. Denis as the royal banner of France. The Merovingian and Carlovingian kings, to be sure--Germans rather than French--had naturally been buried elsewhere, as at Aix-la-Chapelle, Rheims, and Soissons (tho even of them a few were interred beside the great bishop martyr). But as soon as the Parisian dynasty of the Capets came to the throne, they were almost without exception buried at St. Denis. Hence the abbey came to be regarded at last mainly as the mausoleum of French royalty, and is still too often so regarded by tourists.
But tho the exquisite Renaissance tombs of the House of Valois would well deserve a visit on their own account, they are, at St. Denis, but accessories to the great Basilica. Besides the actual tombs, too, many monuments were erected here, in the 13th century (by St. Louis) and afterward, to earlier kings buried elsewhere, some relic of whom, however, the abbey possest and thus honored. Hence several of the existing tombs are of far later date than the kings they commemorate; those of the Valois almost alone are truly contemporary.
At the Revolution, the Basilica suffered irreparable losses. The very sacred reliquary containing the severed head of St. Denis was destroyed, and the remains of the martyr and his companions desecrated. The royal bones and bodies were also disinterred and flung into trenches indiscriminately. The tombs of the kings were condemned to destruction, and many (chiefly in metal) were destroyed or melted down, but not a few were saved with difficulty by the exertions of antiquaries, and were placed in the Museum of Monuments at Paris (now the Ecole des Beaux-Arts), of which Alexandre Lenoir was curator. Here, they were greatly hacked about and mutilated, in order to fit them to their new situations.
At the Restoration, however, they were sent back to St. Denis, together with many other monuments which had no real place there; but, being housed in the crypt, they were further clipt to suit their fresh surroundings. Finally, when the Basilica was restored under Viollet-le-Duc, the tombs were replaced as nearly as possible in their old positions; but several intruders from elsewhere are still interspersed among them. Louis XVIII. brought back the mingled bones of his ancestors from the common trench and interred them in the crypt. As regards the tombs, again, bear in mind these facts. All the oldest have perished; there are none here that go back much further than the age of St. Louis, tho they often represent personages of earlier periods or dynasties. The best are those of the Renaissance period. These are greatly influenced by the magnificent tomb of Giangaleazzo Visconti at the Certosa di Pavia, near Milan. Especially is this the case with the noble monument of Louis XII., which closely imitates the Italian work. Now, you must remember that Charles VIII. and Louis XII. fought much in Italy, and were masters of Milan; hence this tomb was familiar to them; and their Italian experiences had much to do with the French Renaissance. The Cardinal d'Amboise, Louis's minister, built the Chateau de Gaillon, and much of the artistic impulse of the time was due to these two. Henceforth recollect that tho Francois I. is the prince of the Renaissance, Louis XII. and his minister were no mean forerunners….
The interior is most beautiful. The first portion of the church which we enter is a vestibule or Galilee under the side towers and end of the Nave. Compare Durham. It is of the age of Abbot Suger, but already exhibits pointed arches in the upper part. The architecture is solid and massive, but somewhat gloomy.
Descend a few steps into the Nave, which is surrounded by single aisles, whose vaulting should be noticed. The architecture of this part, now pure Early Gothic, is extremely lovely. The triforium is delicate and graceful. The windows in the clerestory above it, representing kings and queens, are almost all modern. Notice the great height of the Nave, and the unusual extent to which the triforium and clerestory project above the noble vaulting of the aisles. Note that the triforium itself opens directly to the air, and is supplied with stained-glass windows, seen through its arches. Sit awhile in this light and lofty Nave, in order to take in the beautiful view up the church toward the choir and chevet. Then walk up to the Barrier near the Transepts, where sit again, in order to observe the Choir and Transepts with the staircase which leads to the raised Ambulatory. Observe that the transepts are simple. The ugly stained glass in the windows of their clerestory contains illustrations of the reign of Louis Philippe, with extremely unpicturesque costumes of the period. The architecture of the Nave and Choir, with its light and airy arches and pillars, is of the later 13th century.
The reason for this is that Suger's building was thoroughly restored from 1230 onward, in the pure pointed style of that best period. The upper part of the Choir, and the whole of the Nave and Transepts was then rebuilt-- which accounts for the gracefulness and airiness of its architecture when contrasted with the dark and heavy vestibule of the age of Suger.
Note from this point the arrangement of the Choir, which, to those who do not know Italy, will be quite unfamiliar. As at San Zeno in Verona, San Miniato in Florence, and many other Romanesque churches, the Choir is raised by some steps above the Nave and Transepts; while the Crypt is slightly deprest beneath them. In the Crypt, in such cases, are the actual bodies of the saints buried there; while the Altar stands directly over their tombs in the Choir above it.

It's hard to believe that I'm leaving France today… After all, I wasn't even supposed to be here that long. I think I may have fallen in love with its beauty and its people. The people here have really been so kind and so welcoming.
That brings me to James Baldwin. Many of his American fans have wondered why he lived between France and the United States. I believe that the answer couldn't be summarized any simpler than with William Wordsworth's definition of poetry as the spontaneous overflow of feelings recollected in tranquility. Of course, we all know that poetry wasn't Baldwin's forte, but the quote can apply to any type of creative writing. Maybe Baldwin had to leave the American chaos of intolerance to fully immerse himself in his grand imagination and in the beautiful ideas he produced.
As someone who has struggled with my writing back home, I can confidently say that getting away was the best thing for my creative mental flow. Aside from one rainy, shitty day in Europe, I have felt inspired to blog daily, sometimes even twice a day. I can only hope that this inspiration sticks with me all the way to back home in Cleveland. Gosh, I would hate for it to go away… Not many of you know this, but in addition to blogging about my travels, I also write poetry and short stories. My experiences here have helped me come up with new cool additions to the characters and plots I have created in the past and abandoned.
So anyways, Jimmy Baldwin… You have to know how much I love Jimmy Baldwin when I tell you that I sprinted down the Promenade des Anglais along the Mediterranean Sea to catch the 400 bus. The ride to Saint Paul de Vence where Baldwin once lived was an hour long and far from perfect. I stood for most of the way there and it was stuffy hot. It felt as if people were sweating on me and I was sweating on them, but I digress.
I came to Nice with Baldwin in mind. After researching about Baldwin's house in Saint Paul de Vence, I was still confused as far as where it is and if it's still there. I found various articles stating that the house was set for demolition and that a new development would be built there. However, I couldn't get a straight answer if it was or wasn't. I finally came across a blog that told me exactly where it is supposed to be. Apparently, his house was supposed to be right across from the hotel Le Hameau which ended up being on the bus route. The whole ride I kept thinking, "I hope they didn't tear it down!!!"
Most unfortunately, once we passed the Le Hameau, the only thing I saw across the street was an empty lot filled with construction. I was certain it was the place where Baldwin's house once stood. I was saddened, but in that instance, I finally understood why the author chose Saint Paul de Vence. The views from his house must have been immaculate!
Saint Paul de Vence is described as a village. When someone says "village," you're thinking cows and horses and barns and stables, right? Saint Paul de Vence is not this kind of village. Baldwin's house would have peacefully overlooked a gorgeous mountain pass from above and the numerous charming French houses built upon a mountain. One could easily obtain tranquility that writers seek and need there.
Although Baldwin's house is no longer there, I am still glad I went to Saint Paul de Vence. It helped answer my initial question: why the French Riviera, why Nice, and why not Marseille. Despite the beyond beauteous calanques, as the second largest city in France, Marseille would have been a little too chaotic for him.
After leaving Saint Paul de Vence, I met my new friend Jack at Coco Beach for some more sunbathing. I'm gonna be honest when I say that when you have only a few days in Nice, it's really hard to do anything else. Instead of swimming, Jack and I got splashed by the enormous waves as we collected sea glass and searched for sea shells. If you're looking for sand beaches, then the French Riviera is not for you. The beaches are rocky and they will hurt your feet and bother your back. For me, it was all worth it.
Jack and I got pretty hungry and headed to the La Ville de Sienne. This restaurant is located in a charming little alley. We sat outside next to a lovely older couple and we were really happy with the choice. They were humorous people that gave us wonderful suggestions on the highly extensive menu. I ordered the pizza diavola (I really wanted to try the pizza in France) with a glass of Soave and Jack ordered spicy spaghetti with shrimp and pomodoro sauce.
The pizza was the best I've ever had but you have to remember to ask for the piri-piri oil in advance. It makes the pizza so much better, even if it's hard to believe. I also sampled Jack's pasta and was blown away. I can only imagine how amazing the pasta has to be in Italy… There is always next year, right? We ended the mean with tiramisu. Although it was nowhere as good as my mom's, it was nonetheless delicious, perfectly sweet, and creamy.

Nambucca left stumped
IT was a 200-year-old tree that formed the gateway at the northern entrance to Nambucca Heads and now it is gone.
At Thursday's council meeting Nambucca Shire councillors felt the full brunt of heated community backlash about the loss of the tree, which it had resolved to protect in 2007.
And to make matters worse the tree was cut down by contractors at the behest of council staff - albeit without the knowledge of the council's director of environment or the general manger.
Cr Paula Flack was ropable.
"This old tree, full of nesting hollows, was cut down in the height of summer, the height of breeding season and in the face of a standing resolution of the council," Cr Flack said.
"This vandalism by the council has got to stop.
Nambucca resident John Tait said the removal of the eucalypt was just the latest in a long list of incidents over the last five years.
"Nambucca is known for its natural beauty," Mr Tait explained.
"The loss of trees means the loss of tourist assets that take at least 25 to 50 years to replace - they are not like buildings.
"It is not a matter of budgets that either fix roads and bridges or take care of trees - we need both.
"I would like to see a change in council's attitude from trees being seen as problem to seeing them as something that benefits the community."
The council passed five resolutions on the matter, including the supply of nesting boxes and planting of replacement trees, the development of a tree inventory and also council staff training
After the meeting the mayor Rhonda Hoban said the loss of the tree had highlighted a communication problem within the council.
"The previous director, Bruce Redman, had this information but he has retired and the information went no further," Cr Hoban said.
"The report of the tree removalist said the tree itself was not in great health, however, people are upset the correct process was not followed nor alternatives explored."
Mr Tait said the resolutions were easy enough but it remained to be seen whether there would be any real attitude change.

Twelfth Night (Stage - 2003)
- Stage
In tackling these classics by Shakespeare and Chekhov, red-hot stage and film director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) bid a grand farewell to his London theatrical home — the Donmar Warehouse — where he built his celebrity-level rep on a smart, audacious talent for revisionism. Now his parting shots have arrived at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where Mendes — who, at 37, should be in the midsummer of his career — is showing a surprisingly autumnal side. Both plays feature the same troupe of actors (including Emily Watson and British theater star Simon Russell Beale) in low-key, measured, umber-toned productions. This approach serves Twelfth Night well, underscoring the comedy's strains of melancholy and malice. But like Road to Perdition, Mendes' Vanya is darkly handsome and curiously hollow. Perhaps these hushed affairs are Mendes' response to the clamor of fame. Night: B Vanya: C+

David Gilmour * Live in Gdansk
Pink Floyd's Lead Guitarist
Says What Can Be Said, Musically
The Daily Walk with Love, April 1, 2018, by Paul Evans. For my "second family" — The dedication to another of David Gilmour's videos (link below) says "Thanks guys, I never before really felt deep down how much you mean to me, though I glimpsed it, now I know, thank you for trusting and believing in me." Video is courtesy of David Gilmour, Pink Floyd and YouTube. Featured photo is courtesy of Gilmourish.com and YouTube. Included photograph/graphic is courtesy of Pinterest. Lao Tsu, the founder of the Chinese philosophical school which came to be known as Taoism, I believe said, "the mind seeking the mind, is this not the greatest of all folly." Stop thinking and stop worrying so much, and your mind will quiet itself. In fact, "Stop thinking and feel your life."
Have a listen (soon), as very likely the copyright ogres will block the video (sad but true). Also stop by YouTube and enjoy a wonderful concert, DAVID GILMOUR Live Acoustic 2001. You can definitely tell the recording was live by the applause of the audience, so if you like live music, this is PDG. Even if you don't often listen to or like live music, seriously, that performance is David Gilmour, folks. Put away your iPads and listen up!
Ladies, I am 61, never married though engaged three times, and "single and looking." I really hope you will be my friend and talk with me, I don't have any paid accounts with dating websites any more, and am very lonely. Please, if you want a good friend who would give you a lot of his time and is kind at heart, please send me an email at email@example.com… God Bless you all for reading my site. I'm sure a lot of you have prayed for me, but anyway, let's get acquainted and be friends.
Though their music can be a little on the dark side of things (or actually realistic about society), I have always thought of David Gilmour as the heart and soul of Pink Floyd. I know they have had one "last reunion" concert not many years ago, but everyone who as ever heard them wants more. C'mon guys, just one more….
Please visit the Haven of Rest Ministries organization's homeless shelter in Akron, Ohio's website. Did you know that $1.92 buys a homeless man or woman a meal? Even $10 helps!
David Gilmour, the former lead guitarist and singer of Pink Floyd, has a masterful repertoire of classic solo work I know you will all enjoy, along with some classic Floyd. ("But which one is Pink??") These guys are among "the gods" of progressive rock, and David Gilmour embodies the heart and soul of the old Pink Floyd. A little history for you: Gdansk is the Polish port city where Lech Walesa led the "Solidarity" labor movement that helped bring Poland independence from the former Soviet Union. So probably this concert had a special meaning to David Gilmour. Also listen to For My "Second Family": David Gilmour – The Best Guitar Solos, from July 13, 2016; and Top Tracks of Pink Floyd (HQ), from March 1, 2017, both here on The Daily Walk with Miracles.

Scott DesJarlais lead widens slightly
U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais' lead has widened slightly over his Republican challenger, state election officials said Tuesday as local election commissions began to report the results of provisional ballots in the 4th Congressional District.
DesJarlais now holds a 37-vote lead over state Sen. Jim Tracy, the secretary of state's office said, adding two votes to his razor-thin lead. Ten of the 16 counties in the district have reported the results of provisional balloting, including the district's second-largest, Bradley County.
Robert Jameson, a spokesman for DesJarlais, said it is statistically impossible for Tracy to make up the gap with provisional balloting. But he stopped short of calling for the Shelbyville Republican to concede the race.
"At the end of the day, when all the provisionals are counted, he should concede," Jameson said.
Both candidates have retained lawyers to advise them as county election commissions review provisional ballots and the running of the Aug. 7 GOP primary. DesJarlais, R-South Pittsburg, leads Tracy by less than five-hundredths of 1 percent.
The results must be certified by local election officials before they can be finalized, a process that could stretch into next week. Stephanie Jarnigan, Tracy's campaign manager, said they do not plan to concede until those reviews are complete.

Holocaust of the East is a remembrance of the tragedies past, recounting the partition of Hindustan into India and Pakistan. Through the mirror of history polished by time, this book hopes to lend the light of harmony through its own candid reflection. It is a book of reckoning, staying afloat over the ocean of vengeance and bloodshed. Love to the right; hate to the left, cruelty in the foreground, compassion in the background. All rooted solid in the marshland of a paradox. Evil and good run parallel amidst the mass exodus of Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims; never meeting in twain, and filling the craters of the great divide with million dead, mutilated and slaughtered. Paradoxically, all the horrors and atrocities in the aftermath of partition in this book strive toward awakening the cosmic compassion of the world. A world, which could transcend above the petty conflicts of power and possession? A world within worlds where all creeds and nations could take pride in sharing the rosary of love, peace and harmony for the benefit of humanity in its evolution toward unity, preserving only the pearls of intellect and understanding."Farzana Moon's earlier writings are vivid evocations of life on the Indian subcontinent, bringing a rich depiction of a world too little known to American readers. Holocaust of the East promises to match her previous work. She brings the harsh and tragic history of Hindustan to bear on doubled love stories, as tragic as the peoples who are ripped apart by their country's partition. The effect on ordinary people of political power plays is powerfully shown, in story that is deeply engrossing. Recommended highly for all those wanting to learn more of the events which have shaped the last half century in an area of the world which is becoming increasing more important to American interests, both business and political." Alan Woods, Director of Lawrence and Lee Theatre Research Institute, Ohio State University, Columbus OH"Storytelling is a powerful teacher. We live our lives through our stories which can become, through reflection, lessons learned. A story of life, one truly told, is always explored through binary opposites. To "truly" tell an event is to recount its history from all points of view. Holocaust of the East engages the reader in the exploration of a tragedy that expands the definition of the word 'holocaust'. This book by Farzana Moon explores the concept of love in a world of madness. The unfolding of this remarkable story offers a view of history where love becomes a question in the past and an answer for the future. "Susan L.

Exquisite Green 40s Hawaiian Pake Muu by Kalakaua in a Bold Hibiscus Print
Product Description
Vintager 1940s pake muu by Kalakaua is made of sleeky, draping cold rayon. The print of this beauty is really striking - grey hibiscus, teal leaves and accents of white on navy background so dark it is nearly black. This piece features a classic 40s Hawaiian pake muu silhouette with a darted bust and gently fitted waist - how fitted will depend on your silhouette. It is finished with half-length kimono sleeves. The sleeves are lined with bright red celanese, matching trim at on the classic mandarin collar with frog closure. Short slits vent each side of the skirt, allowing a bit of wiggle room in your step. This dress closes with a side metal zipper.
This is best for a medium with thicker waist, or a large with less full bust size. The curve is present, but not dramatic in this garment.
Bust: 40"
Waist: 34"
Hips: 45"
Label: Kalakaua
Material: Cold Rayon
Condition: Good plus
This dress is fresh, clean and ready to wear. It has been dry cleaned but not hand laundered. There are some very subtle yellow spots here there that can be found in the white flowers upon inspection. One at the lower left hem. A scattering in a flower about thigh height on the right. One at the center, two spots below the collar. These are LIGHT, and shouldn't detract from your enjoyment. There is a single pinhole at the back left shoulder. I find no other issues to note!

It has been desirable for years to develop a reasonably simple, direct, accurate, and reliable method to measure pressure distributions in railroad trackbeds, especially the pressure magnitudes and distributions at the tie-ballast interface. In this study, specially-designed granular material pressure cells were used to measure pressure magnitudes and distributions. The cells were placed directly under the rail-tie intersection at the tie-ballast interface.
Initially, a MTS test machine was used to conduct a series of laboratory tie-ballast box tests for a wide variation of ballast types and loading configurations. The adequacy of the cells for in-track measurements was verified with a series of very controlled laboratory tests and measurements using simulated trackbed sections and loading conditions. Excellent correlations were obtained comparing applied machine pressures and measured transferred cell pressures indicating that this type of pressure cell is suitable for in-track tie-ballast pressure measurements. This preliminary testing sequence is briefly described.
A series of in-track wood tie tests were conducted on a yard lead track on a shortline railroad, Transkentucky Transportation, to optimize the in-track installation procedures and to obtain pressure measurements using repeated passes of low-speed locomotives and cars. A normalized pressure distribution was obtained by using metal shims when necessary to fill voids between the ties and pressure cells to insure continuous tie-ballast contact. This test sequence is presented and described.
Additional in-track tests were conducted on Norfolk Southern Railway's heavy tonnage concrete tie Class 4 mainline with train speeds of up to 64 km/h. Data was obtained for numerous passages of revenue trains over a period of several months for variable weights and types of locomotives and freight cars at typical train speeds. The average pressure intensities at the tie-ballast interface were acquired for six consecutive ties comprising a complete revolution of the wheels. This data is presented and the results discussed.

New England Small Towns
21 comments:
Our New England trip is still on for early fall. Our son made the trip a couple of years ago all the way to Maine. He told us if you go once you will want to come back. The lay back atmosphere and the quaint little towns is what make this trip so appealing for us. The images on this post is the New England we want to see!! Thanks for sharing
The Driftless area is a lot like rural New England. I love both areas.ReplyDelete
What! No Dunkin Donuts?? Just kidding. I don't believe I've ever been in one. Small towns with the Fall Foliage is just gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos, Alan. A lot of beautiful little towns still remain in New England that is for sure.ReplyDelete
Seeing the picture of that blue gill harkens me back a couple of years ago when I was fishing to a riser along side the opposite bank from me on the Swift. I made a decent cast and had a good drift and the fish took. Not big, I thought it was a brook trout but it turned out to be a nice sized blue gill which put on a good fight. I haven't caught a blue gill there before or since. I have a feeling the big trout dine on them when they get the opportunity.
Best, Sam
Alan, I love small town America having done a University work exchange in Pennsylvania, charming, hospitable and friendly people and the Amish quilt is stillon one of our beds. Sue and I intend to tour some of those places. We had long chat with two USAF Airmen near Mildenhall, one said go to Vermont or Maine the other Arkansas. I'll put my little Hardy travel rod in next time! Sorry, I almost forgot, some lovely photographs there! Regards, JohnReplyDeleteReplies
John RichardsonDelete
John one of our most pleasant drives took us through the Amish countryside in Lancaster. As far as a New England state it would be hard for me to select one or two or six. They are all beautiful and have so much to offer.
The town in the first photo is Stark N.H. it is my favorite. It is in many respects the America I recall growing up. Lot's of history there.
my kind of post, I love small towns and the surrounding areas, cant be doing with all the hustle & bustle of cities. Lovely post Alan.ReplyDelete
I was born and raised in small town New England. At one point, like many people, I left to see the world. When I got back I set up my chair on the porch and determined to never leave again. My little New England town boasts a population of 350 souls.ReplyDelete
Haven't been able to stretch my legs in New England in a while, but I really think I need to change that this year. While we've got plenty of Dunkin Donuts where I'm at, there's no salter brook trout or the charm of barns and colorful fall leaves.ReplyDelete
There's just something about New England (and the Canadian Maritimes for that matter) that is uniquely special.
Hi AlanReplyDelete
Having grown up in a small town on the edge of the North York Moors I can fully appreciate your fondness for them. Like Mike I left my home town to go to the city for studies and work returning some 15 years later. Unfortunately my home town has expanded almost out of all recognition now! Fortunately where I live now is just a few minutes drive from the moors National Park with it's peace, solitude and (of course) trout streams.
Alistair CorbishleyDelete
Alistair seems like many of us have the desire to return to those kinder, gentler times of our small town heritage. The small town is alive still and it's great to be able to return. A National Park, I guess your safe from development.
Not where I live Alan, it is one of the largest private housing estates in Europe! However, the boundaries of the town are minutes from the National Park - I can see the moors and hills from my house!Delete
Yes indeed Brk Trt we are indeed so very fortunate to be living in New England..ReplyDelete

Marine Iguanas can be found on the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos Islands are a volcanic island chain off of the northwest coast of South America. These islands are home to some of the rarest and most unique endemic species on the planet. One of these endemic species is the Marine Iguana. These creatures are the only iguanas on Earth that have adapted to living on the shores of, and feeding in, the ocean.
They have several features that distinguish them from land iguanas. They have short, snubbed noses and flat tails. They have longer and sharper claws than other iguanas. Larger Maine Iguanas (mostly males), have the ability to dive and stay underwater for more than 30 minutes. They are able to dive in the cold water, despite being cold blooded, because these iguanas have the ability to slow down their heart rate and restrict blood flow in order to preserve heat. The smaller Marine Iguanas are unable to do this because they are not able to retain heat as well as the larger ones.
All of these unique features serve an important purpose for the Marine Iguana. The long, sharp claws are great for clinging to the lava rocks that line the shores of the Galapagos islands. If Marine Iguanas didn't have these, they could be knocked off of the rocks by waves. Their snubbed noses help them scrape the algae that they eat off of the lava rocks. Their long flat tails make it easier for the Marine Iguanas to swim. Lastly the larger ones' ability to dive and stay under water for long periods is allowing them to eat for longer times before basking and it allows them to search for food further from shore.
Unlike many endemic species of the Galapagos, Marine Iguanas can be found on every island of the Galapagos archipelago. All of these iguanas are of the same species, but they do differ from island to island. One example of these differences is coloration. All baby Marine Iguanas are black, as are many of the adults. However, on some of these islands there are examples of bright red or green Marine Iguanas. Variations in the size of these iguanas from island to island have been noted as well.
Marine Iguanas live peacefully together for around ten months out of the year. The other two months they are breeding. While the males are trying to find mates they display territorial behavior and will fight with one another for hours. Once the males have found mates and it is time for the females to nest, it becomes the female's turn to become aggressive with each another.
Interesting Facts About Marine Iguanas
-Marine Iguanas can shrink. When there are major food shortages these animals can and do shrink. What is interesting about this fact is that they not only get thinner, but they also lose a significant amount of length.
-Marine Iguanas crowd together in large groups on the shores of the Galapagos at night to keep warm.
-Marine Iguanas sneeze salt. Special glands collect salt when the animal takes in seawater while feeding. Every so often they get rid of the built up salt by sneezing. These salt bogeys often land right back on the iguanas head, where they dry up and turn the iguanas head white.
-They are the only iguanas on Earth that can feed in the ocean and depend on it for food.
These iguanas are not endangered, but they are vulnerable to changes in the ocean's temperature. Also, animals that have been introduced to the islands, such as cats and dogs can and do feed on these iguanas. If these introduced species are kept under control and the currents in the area do not change, these interesting creatures may be around for a while yet.

Reservation Agreements are the subject of the moment in the agency industry.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is to pilot them in a fairly low-key fashion in the new year, while several estate agencies have come out in favour.
One industry supplier, of course, has been advocating a version of them for some time - that's Gazeal, set up in 2015 by a group of solicitors, who wanted their produce to provide a lock-out agreement aimed at preventing fall-throughs.
Its business model applies to England and Wales and works like this.
Gazeal offers a legal pack of searches, contract and basic paperwork completed online by the vendor. This is offered to vetted buyers who can then make an informed offer and nominate a conveyancer. At this stage parties can then enter a legally binding Reservation Agreement, subject only to the buyer's lender's valuation and confirmation of good title.
There is a guarantee of one per cent of purchase price to the seller if the buyer walks away without good reason; in that circumstance, Gazeal then pursues the buyer not only for the one per cent in liquidated damages, while the seller may pursue the buyer, too, for unliquidated damages to cover other losses in the forms of abortive fees and so on.
So Gazeal offers a form of Reservation Agreement and up-front seller's pack, although not quite in the form the government has spoken of in broad terms over recent months.
Even so, the company is represented on the industry wide Home Buying and Selling Group, which in turn feeds research and opinions into the MHCLG - so this is a seat at the top table in terms of reforming the house buying process.
I caught up with Gazeal's founder and chief exec Duncan Samuel, a solicitor, and its relatively new recruit Bryan Mansell, who's worked at Foxtons, Countrywide and Your Move and who nicknames himself the 'chief uncomplicating officer' for Gazeal and its dealings with agents.
What do they think of the agency industry's response to Reservation Agreements in principle?
"All agents, whether they're Countrywide or Purplebricks, have one key issue these days - cash flow. An element of that is how much they spend on sales progression, and it's pretty much always disproportionate to the revenue it brings in" explains Mansell, who links this to the need for certainty in a deal - and therefore the need to cut fall-throughs.
Agents are more receptive to up-front information and non-returnable deposits now than they were, say, a decade or more ago when Home Information Packs were introduced.
"Yes, there's definitely a mood of wanting to do something" says Samuel "and agents have been trying Reservation Agreements in auctions and new homes. They're a bit nervous of using them elsewhere but I wouldn't say there's any significant resistance."
That change of heart, he says, is down to consumer demand for transparency, much more advanced technology now than a decade or more ago, and one other factor - "agents are paralysed with fear over CPRs."
But while the MHCLG has majored, to some extent at least, on Reservation Agreements in isolation, the Gazeal team sees them as inseparable from up-front information packs.
Samuel says: "You want as much legal certainty as possible, and if you provide the buyer with the maximum amount of information it engenders trust in the process. And buying a home may be an emotional exercise but when the public buy anything they want the logic - the hard information - to support the emotional agreement too."
And Mansell adds that upfront information addresses not only the buyer's needs but the agent's requirements too.
"The first two or three weeks of a deal is the most critical, yet under the current system at the moment it's when relatively little work goes on, except communications between parties establishing who knows what about the property and so on. Having all this information up front cuts out that delay and early uncertainty" he insists.
Gazeal has sympathy with the MHCLG's balancing act over how Reservation Agreements would operate, accepting that asking for too big a deposit could put people off buying completely while too small a sum would not effectively deter parties from walking away.
"I don't believe that £500 or £1,000 [two figures suggested by MHCLG] would do it. And who looks after the money in the meantime? That's not yet been discussed" says Mansell.
His company insists that while the government's trials in the first quarter of 2020 will be valuable, Gazeal itself has already done its trial in the real marketplace with several hundreds of participants.
It's tweaked and responded to requirements (for example, it gives 30 days extensions if a buyer has a provable problem such as difficulty in securing a mortgage) and it says that estate agents have a high level of control over the process.
In other words, Gazeal has, of course, got a commercial vested interest; on the other hand, it's been well ahead of the game when it comes to introducing Reservation Agreements and its team are worth listening to in the debate over reforming house buying.
What is most interesting, perhaps, is that Gazeal has helped move the debate on. So it seems no longer the case that agents or conveyancers are saying 'should there be Reservation Agreements?' but are instead asking 'What sort?'

Gravdal, which has merged with Fygle and Leknes, is actually a city of 4,200 people. It is located in the geographic centre of the islands of Ventvågøya and Lyon. Located about 68 km from the city of Svolvær and 65 km from the eastern part of the Å settlement in Moskenes.
One of the few cities in Lofoten that is not dependent on fishery, Leknes does not have a seaside center. For this reason, and because of its fast pace of development in recent years, it does not have the same old wood architectural tradition as most other Lofoten cities and may not be as scenic as its neighboring fishermen's hamlets.
Leknes Havn port of the city is one of the most important and frequented ports for cruiseships in Norway. The Hol Church is situated on the east outskirts of the city. Leksnes is a "twin town" with the neighbouring Gravdal hamlet, where the Nordland Hospital is based. The Gravdal lies about 4 km south-west of Leknes.
At Leknes the summer solstice (midnight sun) is over the horizon from 26 May to 17 July, and in cold weather the summer solstice does not come up from 9 December to 4 January. The Leknes is the trade and commercial center of the Lofoten region, which only Svolvær competes with. E10, the road through the city, connects all the Lofoten archipelago with the continent.
There is also Leknes International Airports, Leknes International Airports, for local planes, with 7 regular services to Bodø and some regular services to Svolvær with Widerøe. There is a small coach station, which is a junction with buses to the remainder of Lofoten.

Someone brought this macaroni and cheese to a potluck and thought, 'This is good'
There are two types of people who come to a potluck: those who bring food, and those who bring napkins.
Every once in a while, people will attempt to cross that inviolable boundary and pretend to be something they're not, putting the entire potluck at risk. Twitter user @coolstoryjanis' coworker, clearly a napkin-bringer, recently pretended that they were a "food potlucker" at a company event and well, you can see the consequences for yourself.

Warning: the following content you're about to experience may be disturbing to viewers who make good macaroni and cheese.

Folks, I have no words for this. The shredded cheese, which appears to have come from the ignoble Kraft "cheese mix" no one buys at Target, isn't even melted. And in a skillet — the most revered pan of all the pans — no less.
Twitter agreed with me.

Big Brother 16 winner Derrick Levasseur is set to return to television this week, only this time, he will be questioning whether O.J. Simpson really killed his ex- wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in 1994. According to Big Brother Network, Investigation Discovery will air the three-night event, bringing in investigators Levasseur, Kris Mohandie, and Bill Dear in Is O.J. Innocent: The Missing Evidence as they go through the evidence that led to O.J.'s acquittal in 1995.
This...trailer...is.... https://t.co/5YWVzJ8cYt— Derrick Levasseur (@DerrickL) December 19, 2016
According to Derrick's Twitter page, Is O.J. Innocent: The Missing Evidence will premiere on Sunday, January 15. It has been a project that he's worked on for several months, and he seems excited that the series is finally going to premiere on television.
Back in June, when Big Brother 18 houseguests made their way into the house, he told his fans that he couldn't participate in Big Brother due to his commitment to the ID series. At the time, he couldn't comment on the series, which was something that bothered his followers at the time. Now, we know he was working on the series about O.J. Simpson.
This...trailer...is.... https://t.co/5YWVzJ8cYt— Derrick Levasseur (@DerrickL) December 19, 2016
As the Big Brother fans recall, Derrick was an undercover cop that used his job skills against his fellow houseguests, earning their trust and friendship along the way. It served him well because he easily won the season without ever facing much opposition. Levasseur made winning the CBS summer reality show easy, when in fact, it is a tough thing to do.
Now, Derrick is bringing his cop skills to join a team of investigators as they go through the evidence from the O.J. Simpson 1995 murder trail.
ID released the sneak peek video which features Levasseur joining investigators Kris Mohandie and Bill Dear as they go through the files, visit O.J.'s Bronco, and talk to people who were involved in the case that captivated the nation in 1995.
Think #OJSimpson did it? I'm stumped. See @DiscoveryID's sneak peek of Is OJ Innocent? The Missing Evidence #o2o #ad https://t.co/YAHUPp5YoY pic.twitter.com/bYcgaB2ks9— Janine Truitt (@CzarinaofHR) December 20, 2016
In the trailer, Bill Dear says that he never believed O.J. killed Nicole and Ronald based on the evidence. They found blood in the Bronco, but it was on the passenger's side of the vehicle. He added that when you line up the files and evidence from the trial, "it doesn't add up."
They speculate that someone else was involved in the murders, possibly someone that was close to either Nicole or O.J. Investigator Kris Mohandie believes that one of the shoe prints in the crime scene pictures wasn't Simpsons or any of the police on the scene that day. They jumped to the conclusion that the unidentified shoe print could be the person(s) that killed them.
The most shocking part of the trailer is when they discover that there was no way O.J. could have pulled off the murders alone. He would have needed help. According to an O.J. insider, that was exactly the first thing Simpson told him right after the police arrested him in 1994. Levasseur and Bill Dear agree that this would be almost impossible to pull off alone, even for a man as "big" as Simpson.
BB Network BB16 Winner Derrick Levasseur On ID's "Is O.J. Innocent?" Series https://t.co/hFROD7qaSn #BBOTT pic.twitter.com/CzbDio2W96— CBS Big Brother - (@BigBrotherTalk) January 10, 2017
Apparently, they found so many inconsistencies in the evidence that they wondered why Simpson was ever a suspect. Hardly any of the evidence pointed to him except his violent history with Nicole. At one point in the sneak peek, Bill Dear says they really need to reopen this case and issue an arrest warrant.
Of course, no one has been arrested in connection to Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman's murders, so it's safe to assume that the Los Angeles police believe that O.J. was the one who committed the crime.
The series has six one-hour episodes squeezed into three nights.
"Is O.J. Innocent? The Missing Evidence"
- Sunday 1/15 (9/8c) – "New Evidence"
- Sunday 1/15 (9/8c) – "Follow the Blood"
- Monday 1/16 (9/8c) – "Person of Interest"
- Monday 1/16 (9/8c) – "About the Alibi"
- Tuesday 1/17 (9/8c) – "The Charlie Theory"
- Tuesday 1/17 (9/8c) – "What Really Happened"
If you miss seeing Derrick Levasseur on television, tune in or set your DVR to record his new series.
Is O.J. Innocent: The Missing Evidence airs on ID on Sunday, January 15.

"WOW, I have had a lot of articles written about me in the last couple of years and I must say yours is my favourite one! Seriously – it flows so well and you've chosen to highlight points no one else does; it goes so much deeper than the general mainstream media article. Thank you!" – Sukhjit Khalsa, Australian Sikh spoken word artist, educator, performer & human rights reformer
"A lot of ghostwriters will help someone with their manuscript and then send them on their way, but Jas isn't like that. She brings her co-authors into her events and gives them a platform. When it comes to telling people's stories with heart and soul, Jas is your girl. She doesn't have to do this work – she chooses to." – Ocean Reeve, Managing Director of Ocean Reeve Publishing & Book Publishing Queensland/CEO – eMAGINE Academy
"Jas Rawlinson was fantastic when she interviewed me for Issue 2 of Provoke Magazine. I was nervous because it was my first feature but she made me feel at ease and wrote up an amazing story that was true to my character and what we discussed in person. I highly recommend her for journalism and editorial work. I would definitely think of her straight away if I was ever going to hire someone to help write my full autobiography. – Lauren Watson, Paraplegic Circus Aerial Performer
"Jas Rawlinson, your lived experience talk was so inspirational and had a positive effect on everyone there, thank you so much!" – Cindy Heddle, Gold Coast Counselor and Mindfulness Practitioner/Care for Life Suicide Prevention Network Member
"Jas is an incredibly brave and honest soul, driven by a passion for the greater good that runs so deep, you can't help but be inspired by it. Sharing my story for the book was a seamless process, largely due to Jas' professionalism and devotion to the suicide prevention cause. – Dan Price, Global Suicide Prevention, Mental Health & Wellness Speaker/ R U OK Day Ambassador
"As an Occupational Therapist with a background in Mental Health, I was keen to meet Jas and hear about her new book 'Reasons to Live One More Day, Every Day'. I invited Jas to present her own story and her book to a group I coordinate to support consumers through their recovery.
Jas was incredibly engaging and confident as she spoke about her story and the events that lead to her creating an inspiring, accessible and helpful resource for people who are experiencing difficult times. She was warm and open to hearing the stories of the consumers participating in the group, and consumers drew common themes in their own personal experiences. Consumers reported they found Jas to be interesting and inspirational.
I have also found the book to be a hopeful resource for patients on the ward with feedback received such as: "this sounds like she is writing my story." We are happy to welcome Jas back. – Jackie, Occupational Therapist NSW

Fully functional evaluation version.No credit card required
Approximately 23% of CAD professionals globally use SolidWorks on daily basis. Together they generate tremendous volume of 3D files in native format, which are troublesome to feed into 3rd party major and minor CAD systems due to format specifics. SolidWorks files (previous to version 2015) use the Microsoft Structured Storage file format. This means that there are various files embedded within each SLDDRW (drawing files), SLDPRT (part files), SLDASM (assembly files) file, including preview bitmaps and metadata sub-files. CAD Exchanger seamlessly reads SolidWorks data and converts to the file format of your choice.Read more
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language, pronounced vermal or by its initials, originally—before 1995—known as the Virtual Reality Markup Language) is a standard file format for representing 3-dimensional (3D) interactive vector graphics, designed particularly with the World Wide Web in mind.
VRML is a text file format where, e.g., vertices and edges for a 3D polygon can be specified along with the surface color, UV mapped textures, shininess, transparency, and so on. URLs can be associated with graphical components so that a web browser might fetch a webpage or a new VRML file from the Internet when the user clicks on the specific graphical component. Animations, sounds, lighting, and other aspects of the virtual world can interact with the user or may be triggered by external events such as timers. A special Script Node allows the addition of program code (e.g., written in Java or ECMAScript) to a VRML file.
VRML files are commonly called "worlds" and have the *.wrl extension (for example island.wrl). VRML files are in plain text and generally compress well using gzip, useful for transferring over the internet more quickly (some gzip compressed files use the *.wrz extension). Many 3D modeling programs can save objects and scenes in VRML format.Read more

Radiology ScholarshipsWritten by Rylee Newton
If you want to enjoy the benefits of working in a medical environment, with less training and formal education, you might want to consider a career in radiology. Many students prefer this career path because the training is very specific and you can obtain certification in less time than traditional medical school degrees. If you want to become a radiation technician, you can find scholarship programs to help you fund your education.
As imaging technology continues to advance, more and more jobs are becoming available for radiology students. Your college or training facility can provide you with information on recent trends in the industry, and an outlook for your future in it. It's a good idea to ask counselors about average salary rates, benefits, and working conditions. Your career counselor can also help you determine which school is right for you.
Scholarships in Radiologic Technologies
If you're interested in earning money towards your education in radiologic technologies or medical imaging, you might want to consider applying for the AHRA Education Foundation Broadley Scholarship. This program is sponsored by the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators, and is for members in good standing. This $2,500 award is for people who already have experience working as supervisors in the medical imaging field and want to advance their studies.
The American Society of Radiologic Technologies also offers several scholarship programs for students. This organization lists opportunities for students who are interested in getting into education, management and supervision fields. These scholarships are also open to people who already work in the field and want to take on more responsibilities or increase their earning potential.
