This is the second in a series of articles addressing issues confronted by entrepreneurs starting a new business. This article will focus on what steps to take once you know what type of business you want to start.
You know your business, but now you are confronted with many decisions that will determine whether your business is a success or failure. The following are just a few issues that all new business owners must consider.
Business Entity
A business entity is important for many reasons; however, here are my top three:
- To protect you and your personal assets from personal liability (and to protect your spouse and his or her assets as well).
- To allow you to gain certain tax and benefit advantages
- To allow you to receive outside investment or have a business partner
Current business entity choices include corporations, limited liability company, sole proprietorship and partnership. Entity choice is typically driven by liability protection and tax factors.
Raising Capital
Regardless of the business type, some amount of capital is required. Raising capital might mean dipping into your savings, having a family member loan you money, partnering with someone that has capital, or going to a bank. If you are going to go into business with a partner, there is a whole set of issues that need to be considered.
The amount, type and source of capital are important considerations. Your business entity should be designed with capital source in mind. If you are involving investors, security issues may arise. If you are seeking loans, loan structure become important.
Structuring your business to minimize the impact of taxes is extremely important. The best type of entity for tax purposes will depend on the type of business that you are establishing (construction is different from telemarketing), whether you will have employees, whether you will be operating solely in one state and a variety of other factors. Taxes to consider include income taxes, employment taxes, sales and use taxes and many other business specific tax types.
Liability and Insurance
Avoiding liability exposure is often key in establishing your business. Key types of exposure include the financial risk of the success or failure of your business, your acts and the acts of those that work for you , and general hazards such as fire. In establishing your business, you should identify the risks that are specific to your business.
Some of the risks can be addressed with business structure. Regardless of business structure, appropriate insurance coverage is important. Start with a good commercial general liability policy. Depending upon your business, you may need special policies. If you are in a profession, you will need professional negligence or "E and O" insurance. If you have people advising you on your board, you may need officer and director liability insurance. If you have employees, you need workers compensation insurance. proper insurance is a very minimal investment for something that can save your business front disaster.

When you're running a small business—especially in the early stages—it's easy to simply focus on how to stay afloat. The problem is, that mindset will keep your company mediocre at best and fighting for survival at worst.
In the first months of launching their real estate company Those Callaways, Joseph and JoAnn Callaway learned just how much real growth starts with client relationships. In that situation, they decided to forfeit a deal because it was the best choice for their client. Since then, their business brings in around $100 million in sales annually and reached $1 billion worth of resale in the first 10 years of business.
In their book Clients First: The Two Word Miracle, the Callaways discuss where most business owners go wrong when developing relationships—and how to fix the problems. Most employers are guilty of these bad habits without even being aware of it, and these habits can not only ruin relationships, but they can negatively affect business too.
1. Being too sure of yourself.
The Callaways say that when you have a healthy perspective of who you are, it will help you stand apart from your competitors, but when you're too focused on recognition, you may veer off "onto a destructive path."
"No client likes working with someone who has a patronizing attitude or constantly sings his own praises," Joseph says. "Your job is not to be the most important person in the room or to put others down. Believe me, when you take care of your clients first and foremost, they will take care of you through their loyalty and appreciation."
Instead, Joseph advises that you should always focus on your client. Don't try to find a common interest just so you can bring the conversation back to yourself.
2. Thinking it's just a job.
The only way you can honestly put a client first—time after time—is if you actually really do care about your job and what it means to society. If you have to, try to make a connection between what you do and how that affects the bigger picture.
"Whether you are a CEO or installing brake pads, you can learn to love what you do in that you feel pride in your work and strive to be better," Joseph says. "Having any other attitude will only make you miserable and drive clients away."
To fix a negative pattern of thinking, the Callaways say you should think of specific things you can do to ensure you're always growing professionally. For example, look into seminars related to your field and continually network so you can meet and learn from people in your industry.
3. Telling "white lies," which includes exaggerating.
If you've ever told your client you're sick just so you can have a few more days to work on a project, then you're guilty of not being entirely honest with someone who is paying you to be honest.
"When you cultivate a reputation for rock-solid honesty—for laying out all your cards even when it doesn't benefit you, for telling the whole truth, for never holding back or sugarcoating—you'll gain customer loyalty that money can't buy," Joseph says. "Clients will trust, respect and refer you, and your own life will become easier."
RELATED: Things You Should Never Say to a Client
4. Being too professional.
Do you see your clients as business opportunities and sources of income, or do you see them as actual human beings with likes, preferences, quirks and stories? If you want to truly put your clients first, you need to think of them as more than sources of income. You should treat clients—and potential clients—as if they're different from any other.
5. Thinking you're always right.
The Callaways say that it's easy to think you're always right, especially if you're the expert and the most qualified to make decisions. Although this may be true, it doesn't mean that other opinions don't matter.
"No matter what industry you're in, you need to turn your viewpoint around and make a sincere effort to see yourself and your business as your client does," Joseph says.
You can always ask the client what they think about your business, especially if the deal fell apart and they no longer conduct business with you. If you're willing to accept this feedback and change your business model based on it, you can stop yourself from making the same mistake with the next client.
6. Being stingy with time and money.
Yes, your time is valuable, but the first sign that you're trying to wrap up with a client quickly so you can get to the next one will probably be the last time you get that client's business.
"I remember being very apprehensive about donating a large sum of money to build a Habitat for Humanity house as a Christmas gift for our clients," Joseph says. "I thought I'd never see that money again. But in the years since, I've learned that new clients chose us—and even that a bank gave us all of their foreclosures to sell—because they had learned of that donation."
That might not be the scenario for every case, but Joseph says it shows the time and money you use for something will eventually "come back to you with interest."
7. Failing to express genuine gratitude.
If people don't feel valued, they'll likely take their business elsewhere, so it's risky to take people for granted.
"JoAnn and I have realized that there are many ways to say 'thank you' to clients, and not all of them are verbal ... you can show clients just how much you appreciate them by getting to know them personally, forgiving occasional bad behavior, and staying up-to-date in your field so you can give them the highest level of service," Joseph says.
RELATED: Why It's Important to be Gracious Every Day
8. Doing everything yourself.
When you truly care about the success of your business—and about the well-being of your clients—it can be hard to let go of any aspect of your work. The thought of allowing someone else to take over any area of responsibility is extremely difficult, but necessary. In actuality, one of the most important aspects of running a successful business is understanding how to delegate responsibilities to others. Otherwise, what ends up happening is that "you become stretched too thin, feel overwhelmed and actually become less effective," Joseph says.
Although it may be common to think about your business on a short-term basis, such as making enough money this month to pay the bills, the Callaways say that building the long-term relationship with clients is what will keep you in business and set you apart from your competitors.
"Most business owners are so concerned with paying the bills that we instinctively put ourselves first," he explains. "It's a behavior fueled by fear. But when you really put the customer first, and put your own needs second, a whole lot of other things naturally fall into place. Decisions will become easier, your business will flourish, and your relationships will be based on true transparency."

If you're anything like me and you're completely nocturnal, you surely have an appreciation for late night television programming.
Here are some shows or movies you don't want to miss if you're up after midnight tonight.
12 a.m. — MTV, Buckwild — Best new bad show on television. This show may as well be called "If The Girls on 16 & Pregnant Didn't Get Pregnant This is Who They Would Be."
The wonderful people at MTV go ahead and sink the hook in with a quick half hour of redneck Real World and follow it up with one more hour. It really is the perfect amount of time for this show at this time of night. You're already wondering what you're doing up and there are going to be like nine times where you question why you're watching this and what kind of person you are for it. But you will persevere. And by the time that hour and a half ends you'll have your mind blown that you watched that whole thing and equally mind blown that there are people like this.
12 a.m. – 2:15 — HBO, Boogie Nights — For those of you with premium cable, get ready to settle in with Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds. Nobody in their right mind turns this gem off, even if you have to be up at 2:30 a.m. for something (which you don't, unless you have a baby). Watching Dirk Diggler's life spiral out of control is a favorite. I'm still very much on the lookout for that album he recorded.
2 a.m. — Spike, Entourage — If you want the no cursing and no nudity Entourage check out Spike to watch the episode where Eric tries to cover up a lie he told to that crazy chick Ashley. Never understood the appeal of that girl. She reminded me of an Eastern European gymnast — but nourished. I think it was the one girl they could find that Eric was taller than, so they just went with it.
2:20 a.m. — Cinemax, Life — If you sign on for this one, you're going to hear a "Fuck Sleep" chant start in your head. It's normal, just go with it. Great movie though. Somehow underrated as hell. AIN'T NOBODY TOUCHIN' MY CORN BREAD!
2 a.m. — 7 a.m. — MTV, True Life — Five straight MTV True Life shows. I get sucked into these things every time even if I'm completely bored by the topic. You always come away from these feeling really good about who you are or really bad about yourself because you were not sympathetic to people like that until you saw this show. True Life: I'm Addicted to Porn was the greatest one of all time. There isn't even a second.

Downloaded – An exclusive clip | SXSW 2013
One of the highlights of this year's SXSW festival in Austin is going to be the movie Downloaded.
DOWNLOADED is directed and produced by Alex Winter and co-produced by Maggie Malina.
Several years in the making, DOWNLOADED focuses on the advent of digital file sharing, including the rise of game-changing company Napster and its controversial pioneers Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker. The digital revolution ultimately created a technology paradigm shift, upended the music business and musical artists and changed the world.
Winter filmed many participants in this saga besides Fanning and Parker, including artists such as Noel Gallagher, DJ Spooky (who also did the music for the film), Mike D from the Beastie Boys and Henry Rollins to name a few; label heads including Don Ienner, Chris Blackwell, Seymour Stein and other industry executives, government officials and leaders in the world of civil and digital rights, such as Grateful Dead lyricist, poet and essayist and "cyberlibertarian" activist JP Barlow and Harvard law professor and political activist Lawrence Lessig.

"Are poets the unacknowledged bioethicists of the world?" asked Tom Shakespeare, one of our Council members, on Monday night. Quite possibly so, if the rich ideas and concepts put forward by the poets who entered the Council's (un)natural poetry competition are anything to go by.
Tom was speaking at an evening of poetry and debate that we organised to mark the conclusion of our project on 'naturalness'. The winners of our poetry competition and Kayo Chingonyi, our poet in residence since the summer, stole the show with their beautifully crafted pieces that explored topics as diverse as organic food, hand transplants, afro hair, mobile technology and emigration.
In the bar after the event several people asked me "We're glad you did, but why did you decide to work with poets?" When we started the project earlier this year and got to thinking about how ideas about naturalness affect our views on science and technology, we soon realised this was a subject that resonated with people, and not just philosophers and scientists. When I asked my friends and family if they could define what natural meant, they would launch into a long and interesting debate, usually with no conclusion or consensus. Poetry, we thought, might encourage more people to see our work as something that applies to them. We have involved artists in the Council's work before, as a way of bringing wider society, particularly young people, into the conversation.

At Auschwitz, Netanyahu Vows Israel Will Do Everything to Prevent Another Holocaust
The prime minister was speaking at the opening of a new Holocaust exhibition at the former Nazi death camp in Poland, designed by Yad Vashem experts; Netanyahu is on a two-day visit to Poland, attending a ministerial summit in Warsaw.
In a defiant speech coming from the place symbolizing the suffering of Jews during World War II, Israel's prime minister warned on Thursday that Israel will do everything to prevent another Holocaust and to defend itself against any threat.
- Bibi in Poland Rejects Own Statement
- Editorial / Destruction as the Spice of Life
- Sting to Rock Auschwitz Peace Festival
- Yad Vashem Testimonies on UNESCO Register
Benjamin Netanyahu spoke during the inauguration of a new pavilion at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz that is to educate visitors about the Holocaust and Nazi's quest to exterminate Jews. Auschwitz with adjacent Birkenau was the most notorious of a system of death camps that Nazi Germany built and operated in occupied Poland.
"From here, the place that attest to the desire to destroy us, I, the prime minister of Israel, the state of the Jewish people, say to all the nations of the world: The state of Israel will do whatever is necessary to prevent another Holocaust," Netanyahu said, as he stood in front of the red-brick former prisoner block that houses the new exhibition.
"We must not be complacent in the face of threats of annihilation. We must not bury our heads in the sand or allow others to do the work for us," he said, not naming the threat but apparently meaning Iran and its nuclear program.
Before the speech, he visited Block 27, which is now dedicated to presenting Auschwitz in the larger context of the World War II genocide. More than 1.1 million of the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust died in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
Among some 4.2 million names of Holocaust victims listed, page after page, on a 14-meter-long list, Netanyahu found the name of Yehudit Hun, the twin sister of his late father-in-law, killed in Bilgoraj, southeastern Poland.
"If there are Holocaust deniers, have them come to Block 27 and go over one name at a time," Netanyahu said in clear reference to Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who questions the extent of the Holocaust.
The exhibition was curated by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. It aims to provide the backdrop of the Holocaust, the Nazi Germany's ideology for murder, and the physical and spiritual struggle of its victims. It also includes survivor testimonies and drawings by some of the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust.
The Germans carried out the Holocaust to a large extent in occupied Poland, because it had Europe's largest Jewish population and it was at the heart of a railway network that allowed the Nazis to easily transport Jews there from elsewhere in Europe. Many Israeli leaders are children of Holocaust survivors, and Israel has the world's largest population of survivors.
In recent years, Poland has become one of the friendliest states to Israel.
Netanyahu is in Poland on a two-day visit, during which he is attending a summit between top ministers of Israel and Poland in Warsaw.
Speaking alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday, Netanyahu contrasted the painful Jewish history of the past in Poland with the current strong relations between Poland and Israel.
He also accused Iran of planning another Holocaust: "This is a regime that is building nuclear weapons with the expressed purpose to annihilate Israel's 6 million Jews. We will not allow this to happen. We will never allow another Holocaust."
Netanyahu and a team of six ministers met with their Polish counterparts on Wednesday and discussed security, including the stalled peace talks with the Palestinians, the conflict in Syria and a series of bilateral issues such as Poland's possible purchase of Israeli armaments. Israel has been urging Poland, as a member of the European Union, to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

A special Sunday
Last Sunday was a rather special day for me, on a personal note, one of my best friends (who used to live in Gibraltar) came back to visit with her family for half term. Despite being on a flight at the crack of dawn, failing to land at Gibraltar due to 80km per hour winds and the plane being struck by lightning they successfully landed at Malaga and got the bus down to Gibraltar to meet up with nearly 30 friends for a great (late) lunch at Queensway Quay marina. It was so lovely to have the old gang reunited and there were a few emotional moments. The photo above was taken as we left the marina to head home between the storms!
Aside from that on a Postcard from Gibraltar note I had my most successful day yet. My post from last Saturday, about Gib Talks went bananas on social media locally and my viewing figures went through the roof. I woke to find I already had 39 views that day and that grew every time I looked at my phone to the hundreds!!! Thank you to everyone who has supported me on my blogging journey so far and hello and welcome to anyone who's new to Postcard from Gibraltar, it's lovely to have you along for the journey!
Curtain 3 completed!
I'm very pleased to say I've managed to make up any lost ground in my Home Furnishings course and in this week's lesson I started and completed a curtain! It was a standard tape topped curtain in a very bland sample material. I have already bought the fabric for my next project and I promise it's a bit jazzier than the previous three off-white offerings as I'm bored of that colour now.
A new week, a new skirt
As soon as one skirt had been completed on my dressmaking course it was time to crack on with the next one. From gathers to a full-circle skirt. This week's lesson saw no sewing at all, instead there was measuring, drawing, cutting out and sticking. Firstly I had to redraw the pattern for a plain simple skirt to my own measurements, then adjust it to make a full skirt. That's my carefully drawn out pattern sliced into strips like a grass skirt and then fanned out and stuck onto a bigger piece of paper. Also in the picture is the material I'm using to make it. I love this fabric, I bought it from a reduced / special offer basket at a fabric shop near my parents' home before we moved to Gibraltar – that makes it coming up to 7 years old. I liked it so much I was frightened of making a hash of it. Now I can make my skirt with the help of an expert dressmaker, and not just bodge it together on my own – I'm so glad I waited!
Watercolour florals
After finishing my door painting last week, I decided to take a floral break from architecture for a change. I'm happier with the top 2/3 of this painting of fuschias than I am with the buds at the bottom, but it made a refreshing change before I get architectural again next week. I think I'll try a window next.
A bit of flower power
Our bougainvillea is doing really well on our balcony at the moment. It's been such a grey and damp week weather wise, but this shot of magenta is a real pick-me-up as you walk past!
Founder's Day Yesterday, Gibraltar's Scouts & Guides joined together to celebrate International Founder's Day & Thinking Day. It was so nice to see all the different sections of the groups out in force. There was a lovely ceremony attended by dignitaries including the Governor of Gibraltar and his wife, who are the patrons of the Scouts & Guides on the Rock. The young people had been due to parade along Main Street, as is the tradition on Founder's Day, but strong winds meant that part of the event had to be cancelled sadly.
Those same winds made for spectacular scenes on the Eastern side of Gibraltar and at it's most Southerly point, Europa Point. As we drove along the coast we could see the sea was very rough and stopped to admire the huge breakers crashing into the cliffs. The road was soaked by the spray and you needed the windscreen wipers going in order to see where to drive! It was very dramatic although perhaps a little scary to see the true power of the sea.

Father buries his drowned toddler, family in Syria
KOBANE, Syria – The father of a three-year-old Syrian boy whose drowning off Turkey shocked the world buried his son, another child and his wife in an emotional funeral in Kobane on Friday, September 5.
Local journalist Mustefa Ebdi said three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, his four-year-old brother Ghaleb and their mother Rihana were buried in the Martyrs Cemetery in the Syrian-Kurdish border town.
The father, Abdullah Kurdi, "looked broken and numb" as he addressed a large gathering, said Ebdi who attended the service.
"I don't blame anyone else for this. I just blame myself," the devastated father told mourners.
"I will have to pay the price for this the rest of my life."
He said his children were only a few of the many victims of Syria's four-year conflict and pleaded for Arab countries in particular to find a "solution to the tragedies" gripping his country.
Relatives of the Kurdi family gathered in Kobane as a gaunt Abdullah carried the bodies of his young children to the cemetery, an Agence France-Presse photographer said.
There, he laid the tiny body of Aylan, wrapped in a snow-white shroud, into a small grave dug in the red-brown earth.
The two children and their mother drowned off the Turkish coast on Wednesday while trying to reach Europe across the Aegean Sea.
Nothing to live for
A photograph of tiny Aylan's lifeless body on the beach at Bodrum caused a global outcry and has put a human face to the dangers refugees risk trying to reach safety in Europe.
The boy's name "Aylan" translates to "symbols" in the Kurdish language, Ebdi told Agence France-Presse.
"Everyone was very sad and crying," said Ebdi.
He said the family was being honoured as "martyrs of Kobane who lost their lives to flee the war".
Ebdi said he told Abdullah "the world is standing with you", but the grief-stricken father said he had nothing left in the world to live for.
"What do I want with the world? I've paid the highest price," Ebdi quoted Abdullah as saying.
The father arrived earlier on Friday at the family's ancestral home of Kobane from Turkey.
There, he had travelled with the bodies of his family from the coastal tourist city of Bodrum to the Turkish border town of Suruc.
A car carrying him and three coffins crossed the border into war-torn Syria, along with several members of Turkey's parliament.
Ibrahim Ayhan, Dilek Ocalan, and Leyla Guven from the pro-Kurdish HDP party were among the Turkish officials who attended the ceremony and spent time with Abdullah afterwards.
Global condemnation
The heart-rending deaths of Aylan, his brother and his mother have dominated headlines and sparked condemnation from world leaders.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused European leaders of turning the Mediterranean into a "cemetery."
Kobane was the scene of fierce fighting between Kurdish militias and Islamic State group jihadists for control of northern Syria in the country's civil war.
Kurdish forces ousted IS from the town after a months-long struggle in January.
Abdullah's family was displaced several times inside Syria and had returned to Kobane in June in hopes of settling there.
But ISIS fighters re-entered the town, holding hostages in several buildings in a two-day stand-off that left more than 200 civilians dead.
The family then decided to try to reach Europe via Turkey, Ebdi said.
After a month of saving up and borrowing from relatives, the family of four boarded a tiny inflatable boat with dozens of other refugees to try to reach the island of Kos.
In a harrowing tale of how the boat capsized, a tearful Abdullah said his children "slipped through my hands."
Millions of Syrians have been displaced internally since Syria's conflict began in 2011, and more than four million have been forced to flee the country. – Rappler.com

>AQnet Frequently Asked Questions
AQnet is Aquinas College's Internet only network which allows users to connect their personal computer to the Internet through our high-speed Internet connection throughout campus. In order to connect to AQnet, users will need to have a network capable laptop or desktop computer and an Aquinas network account.
Do you need help getting your computer on AQnet?
You should know:
- The most common reason for being quarantined is out-of-date anti-virus definitions.
- You need to stay with your computer AT ALL TIMES.
- The ITS student workers are here to help you learn how to troubleshoot and resolve problems getting online at Aquinas.
- ITS is not allowed to perform system restores, operating system installations, or repair/install hardware.
- Some troubleshooting techniques are risky and can result in data loss or damage to your operating system.
- If you are having trouble connecting your laptop or mobile device to AQnet, you are encouraged to bring it to the ITS Help Desk in AB350 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) or email email@example.com with a detailed description of your problem and your contact information.

Good Security Practices for Windows
By following some simple steps you can go a long ways towards securing your computer. Listed below are a few of the more important action items you should take in regards to securing your computer.
Install Virus Protection
- Up-to-date antivirus software is required for AQnet use.
- Aquinas does not require a specific antivirus package at this time. Often, a student's home internet service provider will offer professional-grade antivirus suites to their subscribers at no additional cost. These licenses can often be used for college-bound students as well (as long as the Internet subscription at home remains valid.) Avira, Avast, Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender are all available at no cost through publishers' website.
Run Windows Update
- For unrestricted access to AQnet, PC users will have to ensure that Automatic Updates are enabled.
- Individual security updates are not checked for, though it is best-practice to download them when marked as Critical or Important. It is also recommended that Mac users stay up-to-date with important operating system updates.
- Running Windows Update is perhaps the most important step you can take in keeping your computer safe. An update can be performed at any time by visiting http://update.microsoft.com or the computer's Control Panel. See your Windows documentation for more information.
Use Strong Passwords
- Choosing strong passwords is an important step in keeping your computer safe. A strong password will have a combination of upper and lower case letters, and numbers or symbols. Read our important password guidelines for creating a safe password.
Prevent Malware
- Malware (a.k.a. adware) is any software that covertly gains access to your computer via an Internet connection without your knowledge. Malware applications can be bundled as a hidden component of freeware/shareware programs, or installed silently from unsecure or compromised web sites. Malware will attempt to disrupt your Windows environment by displaying ads, installing viruses, or attempting to steal personal information (i.e. credit card data, or other sensitive material).
- Today's antivirus software tools are designed to combat most forms of malware.
- It is also recommended that you turn on the built-in firewall that is included in your operating system for added protection against malicious software.

When angiogenesis is balanced, we have the right number of blood vessels. That keeps everything else is in balance, including other systems that are connected to the blood supply such as our heart, lungs, brain, and nerves, as well as the functioning of all our organs.
When there's too little angiogenesis, you don't have enough blood vessels, which causes ischemia, a restriction in the blood supply to tissues. Ischemia is associated with coronary heart disease, and results in a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed to keep tissue alive.
With cancer, excessive angiogenesis is an imbalance that results in the growth of way too many blood vessels as the cancer cells establish their own blood supply, which feeds the disease.
William Li and his colleagues discovered many inhibitors and mediators of angiogenesis in foods! These foods contain bioactives, which are antioxidants and help keep the angiogenesis balance in check.
Can we use food to treat cancer by inhibiting angiogenesis? YES! That's the focus of Li's research. According to Li: Foods are the chemotherapy that we take three times a day!
Angiogenesis-inhibiting foods prevent cancer cells from establishing their own blood supply, which helps us with cancer prevention and intervention. Many bioactives are very powerful mediators of healthy angiogenesis.
What kinds of foods are we talking about? Nutrient- and antioxidant-rich whole plant-based foods!
Some common antioxidants include (and are not limited to):
- Beta-carotene. A precursor to vitamin A and found in orange vegetables and fruits such as carrots, yams, butternut squash, mango, and cantaloupe.
- Lycopene. A cousin to beta-carotene and found in red vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit.
- Vitamin C. Found in vegetables and fruits such as leafy green vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, and papaya.
- Vitamin E. Found in beans, including soy beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas, as well as seeds and nuts.
- Selenium. A mineral found in foods such as mushrooms, onions, whole grains, soy beans, seeds, and some nuts.
- Manganese. A mineral found in almost all whole plant-based foods.
- Iron. A mineral found in beans and leafy green veggies, seaweed, coriander, peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, squash and other root vegetables, and most whole grains, nuts, seeds, and even fruits. Iron is absorbed from foods best when combined with vitamin C-rich foods (see above).
- Copper. A mineral found in beans, potatoes, mushrooms, radishes, leeks, chile peppers, seaweed, and most whole grains.
Beta-carotene and lycopene are assisted by selenium and reside in our cell membranes, acting to shield the cell membranes from damage by free radicals. Vitamin C stays in the fluid between cells, patrolling for and neutralizing free radicals before they can get to the cells. I like to think of antioxidants as the "A-C-E" (Get it? Vitamins A, C, & E) up my sleeves for fighting free radicals.
While we cannot completely eliminate free radicals from our bodies, we can control the balance of antioxidants and free radicals by consuming lots of brightly colored produce (fruits and vegetables) as well as beans and whole grains.

Hello everybody!
Today's post will be short. I just wanted to announce my new very simple widget – WiFi Switch Widget. Basically this is just a half of my previous widget – WiFi & Mobile Data Switch.
Answering the question Why?, I'd say Sometimes there is no need for Mobile Data switch, for example not all tablets have 3G module. This is one possible answer. Another one is that I did it for myself. Yes, there are plenty of similar widgets/apps, but I wanted to have my very own too ^^
Do I really think it's useful? Not as much as my previous apps. Will it find its users? I don't know. I hope so 🙂

A sworn translation from Urgent Vertalen
We use sworn translators to perform our sworn translations.
A sworn translator is a translation graduate and is authorised to perform sworn translations of official documents such as deeds, diplomas, extracts from the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce or birth certificates.
A sworn translation in 3 steps
You send us a scan of your documents by email
Sending us a scan or photo of your documents is sufficient. We will then send you a quotation for a sworn translation of your documents.
The translation is performed for you quickly
The translation bears the stamp, signature and declaration of the sworn translator; the copy of your document is then attached to the translation. Your translation is performed in accordance with the guidelines for sworn translations.
Your translation is with you before 10.00 the next day
Delivery via regular mail + a digital version via email. If you wish to be certain that your translation will arrive the next work day, opt for express delivery for a small additional charge.
Why have your text sworn for translation at Urgent Vertalen translation agency?

Important information about your sworn translation
You would like to obtain a sworn translation of a document, and Dutch is not the source language or the target language of the document? This is no problem at all for The Hague's leading translation agency.
Sworn translators are also available for a number of language combinations with English as either the source language or the target language, for example a sworn translation from English into German. Unfortunately there is not a single translator in the Netherlands who is certified to translate other language combinations, for example from Turkish into Arabic, and it is not possible to obtain a direct sworn translation.
This means that it is always necessary to have a sworn translation into Dutch performed first, and then a sworn translation into the target language. No problem. Naturally you can always expect a clear and attractive price from Urgent Vertalen, in spite of the double translation.
Every day Urgent Vertalen performs a large number of translations for clients including major international companies, small businesses and individuals.
When is a sworn translation not necessary?
A sworn translation is only necessary if you need the documents for official bodies.
A regular translation is often performed for "personal use" and is often not intended for officialdom. A few examples of things that we translate daily without certification, and to the full satisfaction of our clients, are: websites, handbooks, books and presentations.
Urgent Vertalen performs a large number of regular translations every day for clients including major international companies, small businesses and individuals.
We perform your sworn translation urgently, at no extra cost
In order to obtain a sworn translation of the required document a clearly legible unedited scan or photo of the original document is sufficient for The Hague's leading translation agency. One of our sworn translators will perform the sworn translation into the target language. Naturally the project leader will look into which sworn translator is the best match for the jargon used in your document.
A copy of the original will then be printed out and attached to the translated document. The sworn translator adds his/her signature and stamp and his/her declaration to the document. The sworn translation then has the status of an official document within the Netherlands.
Is your sworn translation intended for use outside the Netherlands?
A sworn translation is performed by one of our sworn translators. If the translation is required for use outside the Netherlands you will need to have the sworn translation legalised.
Always a professional sworn translation
A sworn translation is often referred to as an official translation. But not all documents need to be the subject of a sworn translation. Every day we perform sworn translations of documents such as: birth certificates, general terms and conditions, diplomas, wills and mortgage deeds. Most of these documents are required for submission to official bodies and therefore require a sworn translation.
A sworn translation bears the stamp, signature and declaration of the sworn translator.
A sworn translation is performed by one of our sworn translators. All our translators are native speakers and possess a bachelor degree or higher. In addition all our sworn translators have taken oath before at least one court in the Netherlands.
Translators deposit their signatures with the court in question, to enable the legalization of signatures on sworn translations. This entitles them to call themselves a sworn translator.
Upon taking the oath the translator undertakes to act conscientiously and impartially, to conduct him/herself in a manner befitting a professional sworn translator and to observe a duty of confidentiality in respect of all confidential information.
In addition Den Haag's leading translation bureau operates its own privacy policy. If you should require an extra guarantee in addition to our privacy policy we are naturally willing to sign a confidentiality declaration drawn up by you.

join this club?
Club de
l'Epagneul Breton
of the 2004
Click here for more
Own a french brittany or looking for one? You've found the right place! These are the original brittany spaniels, the Epagneul Breton. Bird dogs and gun dogs - perfect for the foot hunter! Epagneul Bretons are staunch pointing dogs with natural hunting ability, used for hunting all types of upland birds including pheasant, grouse, quail, partridge. French brittanys are close working, highly intelligent, intensely loyal and they are as at home in the field as on the couch! French brittany spaniels are the perfect companion in the field and in the home - they are calm in nature and smaller in stature than other pointing breeds. indices Is there a difference between an American brittany and a french brittany? Yes. Link to our French Brittany page for a full explanation and we've also included some history.
This association, formed in 1997, is the parent club of the breed in this country and has been designated as the UKC's provisional National Breed Club for the Epagneul Breton. We invite you to become a member of our club, see our club Membership page for an online application. You'll receive our magazine, full of Epagneul Breton information, French Brittany pictures, articles, training and veterinary tips, and you'll be invited to all of the club's events - fun hunts, foot trials, specialty shows and hunting tests and our annual event - all designed according to European trials with the foot hunter in mind! Local and Regional chapters of the club are forming, be sure to check the listing for one in your area.
Throughout the world, other than in
the United States, this dog is called the Epagneul Breton. You will notice this name being
used in various places throughout our literature in an effort to acquaint Americans with
their official breed designation as the Epagneul Breton. We have recently been successful
in our efforts to get the breed separated in this country, and though the dogs are
commonly known as French Brittanys, they are now registered with the UKC as Epagneul
If you presently own a French Brittany, visit our Registration page for information on registering your dog. We are aligned with European Epagneul Breton clubs and we subscribe to the country of origin's methods for the breed. The official breed standard adopted and utilized by the UKC was written based on the FCI standard, the international standard for the Epagneul Breton. Please be sure to visit our standard page which includes visual aids.
We subscribe to the French and European traditions that will preserve this breed's type in America as it has been preserved for generations in France, which means performance plus conformation. Thus we sponsor and encourage both working and conformation events. Within this site you will find recent event information, OFA and PennHip listings, past training, health and educational articles from our color magazine posted and lots of other informational links to visit. deposit
We are dedicated to promoting the breed and protecting the qualities and traits that make them such an excellent choice for hunting and for the home! Like to take a look at some of the members' dogs?
Epagneul Breton Recognized as
Separate Breed!
As of 2002 the United Kennel Club designated our association as the Provisional National Parent Club for the Epagneul Breton breed in the United States and our petition to recognize the Epagneul Breton as a separate breed was granted!

Faster Unit Testing in a Legacy JRuby on Rails App
Unit testing in legacy JRuby apps is a pain. Here's a fun and informative workaround to make testing a little smoother.
by Dan Corrigan
Recently I was asked to add some small features to a legacy Rails app. My development cycle was excruciatingly slow: the app runs on JRuby 1.5.6 and Rails 2.3, both of which are now eight years old. It took ages to run unit tests and other console commands. On average, JRuby and Rails together would take two minutes to load and begin running the test suite, which ran in about 45 seconds. This is eons for unit tests; you can only get up for coffee so many times a day.
The argument for JRuby has always been that it's fast once the Java Virtual Machine warms up. This works out fine for long-running programs like a Rails app. They can dedicate a certain amount of initial time to "warming up." It also means that shorter-running commands, like console commands and unit tests, have to wait for the JVM to boot and load the app.
Upgrading or doing development with a different runtime wasn't an option for a variety of reasons. Because of this, the biggest development obstacle wasn't the codebase itself, but just the slow cycle time in development and test mode. I tried all the usual strategies to improve startup time:
- I couldn't get a working installation of the JVM with a client mode.
- Passing other Java flags yielded limited performance improvements to JRuby.
- Spring and its equivalents are not compatible. (Not much is compatible with this app.)
A Way Around the Problem
What I needed was a way to keep the JVM and the app loaded so that I didn't incur the same startup penalty every time I wanted to run a unit test. I was puttering around in the Rails console one day when it occurred to me: the console was the answer. All you need to do is load the Rails console with the test environment. Unit tests are just code and can be executed in the console like any other code. To do this, I load a test runner available in the standard library in JRuby 1.5.6; your mileage may vary depending on what version of Ruby you have and what test library you use.
> require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
> load 'tests/some_controller_test.rb'
> Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run SomeControllerTest
This works:
TestRunner#run will run every test case in the
SomeControllerTest class and give output.
It's not very ergonomic, though, for a few reasons. First, all that typing (or cut-and-paste) is a pain. This problem is easy to solve. You can write a few helper methods to include globally when you load the console with the test environment. In my case, this meant an instance of a class that made a list of test files, loaded them in the console, and knew how to run tests from simple commands like:
> runner.run_test 'users_controller'
Here you can find the complete example code.
The second problem is that every time we make a change to the test file, we have to reload it. I use
load instead of
require for this because
require will not reload a file twice. Calling the global Rails method
reload! will reload all the application code but not the tests. (It also causes a ton of Java errors in my case, which is a whole other issue.)
I found I kept forgetting to reload the right file at the right time. To solve this, I wrote a tiny hot reloader using TCP ports and a Unix file watcher called
entr. I load the Rails console with a TCP server running in its own thread. When a file changes, the file watcher pings the right TCP port with the name of the changed file, and the server executes code to reload it in my console session. My implementation is very specific to the setup for this app, but I've outlined a vanilla demo here.
Putting it Together
With this setup, I can run individual test files from the console, make changes, and rerun the tests.
Assuming I have a
UsersController and corresponding tests, I can edit the controller and confirm I didn't break anything in my test console:
# the controller has reloaded in the background after I saved my change
> runner.run_test 'users_controller'
Loaded suite UsersControllerTest
Finished in 0.762 second.
1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors
It spits the test output into the console and then returns me to a prompt when it's done.
The speedup is impressive: I can run an individual test file in a couple seconds, instead of the full two minutes it took before. This method has drawbacks, though.
Weird Things that Happen
There are a whole bunch of gotchas, small and large, to running tests in the console this way:
- Deleted methods stick around. So do Rails model validations and callbacks you remove.
- Like in the development environment, you don't want Rails caching your application code, so make sure to set
cache_classesto false for your test environment configuration. Otherwise, your views won't reload, even if you manually reload controller classes.
- You have to be very careful mocking, stubbing, and using setup and teardown for tests. Your Ruby process doesn't die at the end of a test run, so it remembers any global changes you've made.
I found that despite my best efforts, something would eventually get corrupted and I'd have to reboot the console (I usually blame ghosts in the
Despite the drawbacks, this gives me an hour or two of low-friction development against quick unit tests, which is a happier place than I was before. It also forced me to work more deliberately and really think about the way code is loaded in a Rails app. Sometimes when you can't work through a problem, there's a way to work around it.

In the round-up: Sebastian Vettel mocks innuendo about Red Bull having 'traction control'.
Your daily digest of F1 news, views, features and more.
Vettel teases rivals with traction control comments (Reuters)
"Vettel, who could wrap up his fourth successive title this month, simply smiled on Thursday when asked whether he would be as dominant in Korea as in Singapore. 'Well, since traction control will not matter so much, we may struggle a little bit more,' he told reporters with heavy emphasis."
Vettel's Red Bull car not illegal – Alonso (BBC)
"They are using something different compared to the other teams but something that is completely OK. They pass all the checks every race so it's up to us to do a better job."
Horner rubbishes cheat allegations (ESPN)
Christian Horner: "You'd be fairly stupid to introduce traction control onto a car that is governed by a single ECU that is granted by a tender of the FIA and that is scrupulously checked by the FIA. I can't imagine any team in the pit lane would even entertain it."
Webber hits out at penalty (Sky)
"I saw both Mercedes on the straight when I was in the escape road. This camera angle is from that way but if you look at it from the other way, I had a good view before they started turning in – I'm in the escape road, so I can see down to the kink."
Drivers want weight limit increase (Autosport)
Jenson Button: "I can't see a reason why we can't put the weight limit up by 10kg. It wouldn't penalise half of the grid next season. It's one of the easiest things to put right – and it could save a driver's career, or make a driver's career. It's definitely something worth pushing for."
Vettel's treatment is a disgrace, says Moss (The Telegraph)
"It?������s disgraceful. Why do they do it? Because he keeps winning? He can?������t help that. He is a nice bloke. Sebastian Vettel is a jolly nice bloke."
Kimi Raikkonen Q&A: Back situation ?���?�looks promising?������ (F1)
"If I would not race I would not be here. It would be pointless to come here and be a tourist. Right now it looks promising, so let?������s see how it goes tomorrow."
Barrichello possible for Sauber in 2014, says Kaltenborn (Adam Cooper's F1 Blog)
"Sauber boss Monisha Kaltenborn has confirmed that Rubens Barrichello is a candidate for a 2014 seat."
Alonso: "we need a lot of luck" (Ferrari)
"Fifteen days ago we were fourth fastest behind Red Bull, Lotus and Mercedes and there are very few new things on the car this weekend."
Mediapro extends Formula One deal (SportsPro)
"Mediapro has renewed its deal for the Spanish media rights to Formula One for two more years."

Comment of the day
@Colossal-Squid on the 'illegal traction control' rumours.
Remember when F1 was about innovation and brilliant engineering? Now when one team engineers a brilliant car, or uses throttle mapping or KERS or some kind of other ingenious way to help traction instead of looking at every other team and asking "why didn?������t you think of that?" we have people saying Red Bull is cheating.
From the forum
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to Iceshiel and Strferrari4Ever!
If you want a birthday shout-out tell us when yours is by emailling me, using Twitter or adding to the list here.
On this day in F1
Jochen Rindt won the world championship on this day in 1970, just under a month after he'd been killed during practice for the Italian Grand Prix.
Jacky Ickx was in the unenviable position of being the only driver able to keep Rindt from the title when the teams arrived at Watkins Glen for the penultimate race of the year. His fourth-place finish confirmed Rindt at the posthumous champion.

Today, Samsung has unveiled a new ad that focuses on Galaxy S5 and its ability to many ways to maximize battery life. Naturally, Samsung has decided to kick a little dirt at its rival, Apple, in the process. The ad, titled, Wall Huggers, takes places in an airport and focuses on the idea of mobile users that are always clustered around power outlets. We are sure you've experienced this scenario, adults, sitting on the ground, trying to charge their devices or maintain connectivity.
Although comical, battery life is one of the crucial features of any device. Luckily, the S5 has an Ultra Power Saving Mode that is reported to be able to eke out a full day of battery life out of just 10% of battery. It does this by reducing the handset to its most basic functions. It will kill the data connection while the screen is off, deactivate NFC and Bluetooth, and also implements a greyscale theme for the screen, that will further allow it to reduce its battery draw.
Although the ad claims to give the user up to a full day of battery life from just the remaining 10%, in our own tests, we were only able to manage about 11 hours. Although this isn't too bad, it's nowhere near what the commercial touts. The second is a bit more obvious, but it's the Galaxy S5's ability to swap batteries on the go. While battery saving modes are nice, it will never replace the ability to swap in a fresh battery. This is an instantaneous way to gain a full charge in a matter of seconds.

When it comes to African cinema, even the most avid film watchers' minds draw a blank. African titles never make the final cut in all-time-great film lists. It's this void that Dr. Mahir Saul wants to fill.
Saul's affection for Africa is rooted in Turkey, developed in the United States, and sealed during numerous anthropological research trips to Africa. Last winter, it came full circle when he introduced African film, for the first time, to eager Istanbul Museum of Modern Art audiences.
Saul, 62, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign anthropology professor, grew up in Istanbul–a city situated in Europe and Asia, bisected by the Bosphorus Strait, and known for its past rich cultural diversity. "When I was a kid, it was normal to hear four or five languages on the streets, the baker spoke Armenian, the vegetable vendor spoke Greek, and our neighbors might be speaking Italian," he says, matter-of-factly, like someone in rural America should have experienced the same.
Saul's anthropology path was circuitous and accidental. Odds were that he should have become a shirt salesman like his father. Instead, in 1968, he happened upon the Turkish Folklore Society, a hip, intellectual Boy Scouts-like institution devoted to dance, music, and research publications. With a prominent folklorist's encouragement, he then studied economics at Bo?aziçi University, joined Indiana University's respected Turkish Program as a master's student, and eventually became an anthropology PhD candidate. Saul selected Africa, the world's second largest continent, because he could meld his French skills, economics education, folklore background, and heritage. Saul was tailored for the region.
For 15 years, Dr. Mahir Saul has taught African Film and Society–a course designed to emphasize Africa's vast intellectual and cultural accomplishments. Saul believes that these films enrich peoples' knowledge, dispelling stereotypes that Africa is only plagued by famine and war. It is this vision that led him to approach the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art. Collaborating with Müge Tüfenk, Director of Film Programs, he designed a film series to showcase African talent.
In Istanbul, Saul reconnected with his past and provided film lovers a chance to break free from Western-oriented film lists. "There was so little here about modern, national African cultures. It can be difficult to drum up enthusiasm for African cinema, but it's important to show that we are all connected," he says.

SVIIB is the 4th and, regrettably, final studio album from dream-pop/synth-pop band School of Seven Bells. Benjamin Curtis, one of the principles in the band died from lymphoma during the middle of recording the album, which was finished by his romantic and creative partner, Alejandra Deheza, with the support and assistance of producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen.
The album set the tone with the driven and exultant Ablaze, a song about being brought to life again. "You set my heart ablaze", sings Deheza, and the song makes you feel it. As the album progresses, it is both elegiac and sweetly melancholic, with clear remembrances of one partner for another, and a joy expressed in having had the experience.
Recommendation: Buy It
Songs I have a Playlist For: Ablaze, Open Your Eyes. A Thousand Times More, Elias
Clunkers I will Thumbs Down: Didn't have one for this album.

Botgirl Questi announced that a new virtual art exhibit, the Caerleon Museum of Identity, will be opening on Saturday, October 2, at 12:00. (Her press release was not specific, but I would assume that this is SLT.) The announcement included a video clip:
You can read the full text of the press release at Botgirl's blog. With 18 artists represented in the exhibit, which will run through October, it promises to be a thought-provoking museum.
I say this because this exhibit goes to the point of one of the things that provokes discussion among people "living" and working in virtual worlds: when we're looking at an avatar, is that someone's real identity there? The anonymity of an avatar gives people wonderful flexibility — with this creation of bytes and pixels, we can be who we want to be, not what we really are. For some, it's wonderfully liberating; for others, it allows them to conceal aspects of themselves they'd prefer not to show. But for all of us, we have to confront the question at least once: is this what the person behind the other computer is really like?
Most of us play various roles in our RL day as it is, usually linked to our interactions with those around us. We have one face for the customer in our store; another, a presumably looser version, for the co-workers when we're in a private moment on the floor or in the back room. Friends outside of work may see yet another, at a sports game or club-hopping. Even our interaction with some family and relations, if not all of them, can be a form of role-play; we have favorite grandparents we love to visit, or abysmal aunts we wish would never stop by, and we either display our feelings, or conceal them as deeply as we can out of politeness' sake.
But what happens when all of the cues built by society and the knowledge base of personal, direct interaction in a meeting are made invisible and irrelevant?
In Second Life, we only have what the person is showing us with words on a screen, or perhaps a voice; and, of course, the appearance they choose to build for themselves out of pixels and prims. For all we know, the rampaging extrovert with chopped, grungy hair, greasy leather clothes and piercings in places never dreamed of, might be in RL a dramatically shy wallflower with clean, tied-back hair, an ultraconservative wardrobe, and never even piercings for earrings. Indeed, they might not even be the sex they're portraying themselves as. And then,of course, there are the furries, dragons, fae and aliens teleporting all over the place. One of my favorite avatars from my days at the Blarney Stone was a blue fox. That surely wasn't what the person was in real life!
You may want to check out this exhibit while it's open. Hang around for a while and meditate on the studies; see what these artists' thoughts evoke in you. I haven't seen this yet, though I may attend the bloggers' preview on Friday. But my experience and training tell me that the best art make you think, opens up your senses to a new reality, or a new take on reality. This virtual world we love and deal in is a reality in itself that needs new thoughts, new philosophers to work out its parameters. Perhaps the Caerleon Museum may begin the walk toward such an exploration.

|Eric Braeden
How does Braeden feel about the current state of Victor and Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott) marriage? According to the actor, "As far as I'm concerned, Victor should dismiss Nikki. It's over. Done! Are you kidding me? She is persona non grata. I would never tolerate a wife who spoke out against me, and neither should he. The same with his children. He should disown them. Bingo! Bye! This is where the writers and I have had disagreements. They have their agenda. But I remember Victor's history. When I see a script where Victor starts to soften with someone who has done him wrong, I say, "Bulls--t! I won't act this!"

More Than Handsome: BTS Interviewer Sakshma Srivastav Praises Jin's Talent
Behold the man, the myth, the legend. BTS's Jin is the one and only Worldwide Handsome, and his talents are endless!
In a recent interview, E NOW's Sakshma Srivastav asked Jin if he ever feels like his dashing good looks overshadow his talent. In true leJindary fashion, Jin said that he sees his visuals as a bonus rather than as something that detracts from his skills.
I don't think my looks overshadow my singing. Looking good; it's actually a plus factor, not a minus.
— Jin
In a new commentary video, Sakshma explained why she asked Jin this particular question. Having interviewed many beautiful Bollywood actresses, she has seen how beauty can overshadow hard work in the entertainment industry.
"You know why I asked Jin this question? He is so breathtakingly beautiful, but fans, we also know that he's magnificently talented," she said. "You know, he's a gold mine of talent. He sings and dances like a dream, and he works so hard for it, and he's talked about it…"
"…but I feel like people who are new to the fandom, or people who are not in the fandom at all and know BTS just superficially always see him as the visual, and I don't like it because I want people to know that he is so much more than that."
"Except for the fans like us," she said. "not many people, I feel like, know that."

Hooch & Hatchetation Radiohole takes on the Nation
See, I have this day set thee over the nation and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. —Jeremiah 1:10
The above passage is one that Carrie A. Nation marked in her Bible, with a one-word note beside it that read: "Smashing." You may or may not have learned about Ms. Nation in your American History lessons. If you did, it was probably in one of those highlighted boxes amidst all the text that tried to add color and personality to an otherwise dry retelling of history. Carrie A. Nation is all color and personality. And yes, it's on purpose that her name reads like a righteous phrase, she trademarked it. So, it's probably best not to run around using it too lightly, unless you enjoy invoking hatchet-wielding ghosts with pretty miserable bedside manners.
Born Carrie Moore in 1846 in a small town in Kentucky, her youth was not an altogether pleasant one, as she was quite sickly and her family moved a number of times. Not only that, but it seems mental illness ran in the family—her mother had regular delusions of grandeur, imagining herself to be none other than Queen Victoria. After enduring what was by all accounts a difficult childhood, Carrie fell in love with Dr. Charles Gloyd at the age of 19 and married him two years later. Unfortunately, Gloyd turned out to be a rather serious drunk. A couple of years into their troubled union, Carrie became pregnant and soon thereafter decided to leave her alcoholic husband. He died less than a year later, from a broken liver, not a broken heart.
A single mother, she decided to become a teacher to support herself, but couldn't survive and raise a child on the money she was earning (imagine that, teachers in the U.S. not making enough to live). Soon enough Carrie met and then married a new man, Dr. David Nation, an attorney, a minister and a newspaper editor. Eventually the new family moved to Kansas where Carrie began the work that would make her famous. She found her calling after joining a local Women's Temperance league. Though her efforts on behalf of prohibition started off low key, she soon adopted a much more militant stance. The image you will remember, if you ever did learn about Carrie, is of a rather tall and sturdy white-haired lady wielding a large hatchet, either about to or in the midst of smashing up a saloon and its evil goods. More often than not, she accompanied her 'smashing' with recitations from the Bible and hymns, sung by herself or by a choir of women standing behind her. Who's to say if she was following in her mother's delusional footsteps. What's important is that she and her hatchet became, among Christians and prohibitionists, a cause celebre.
The thing that is most striking about Nation's folk-hero status, is that it's a very short stretch from her particular style of fanaticism to the gun and bomb-weilding fanaticism of a handful of anti-abortion zealots here in the U.S. But that seems to be how we roll here in America. Our Puritanical streak is pretty famous for its often extreme manifestations. The same can often be said for our particular style of hedonism. This is the dichotomy that the now 10-year- old Brooklyn-based performance group Radiohole is taking on in their newest piece, "Anger/Nation," set to have its U.S. premiere at The Kitchen this September, after receiving two productions abroad at the Donau Festival in Austria earlier this year and a second appearance at the Noorderzon Festival in the Netherlands in August.
"Anger/Nation" first began life in summer 2007 at the Orchard Project, a residency program aimed specifically at incubating experimental theater work located in Hunter, NY in the Catskill Mountains. There they worked with a handful of other artists to develop the initial ideas—a combination of Radiohole member Maggie Hoffman's ideas about the sobriety of Carrie A. Nation met with fellow member Eric Dyer's interest in the "decadence" of the films of Kenneth Anger, the titular names and personalities that create the central focus of the piece.
While there are many choices for hedonic American personalities to match Nation's manic temperance, Anger seems like a pretty good fit. A more contemporary figure than Nation, Anger is still living in southern California, where he has lived since his birth in 1930. He is probably the film-maker to which the term 'cult' is most aptly applied. Though the specific themes in his short films vary across the career he began in the late 1940s, his interest in the occult has remained strong throughout. And it's that focus that leads me to imagine some kind of excellent Jesus vs. the Devil pairing when the two meet up on Radiohole's stage.
Some of his most well-known films, which almost all begin with the highly trademarkable title "A film by Anger," include Lucifer Rising and the motorcycle-themed Scorpio Rising. One of my favorites among the few that I've seen is Rabbit's Moon (which is a perfect marriage of the silents of the 1920s and the best epic music videos, particularly a certain moonlit Michael Jackson video). Music is absolutely central to the work, as are pop culture, music, and the occult. Though Anger's films weren't popularly released and were primarily screened at small festivals, he was well-respected among his peers and is considered to be among the most important avant garde filmmakers.
It's hard to imagine what a show with two such over-the-top characters will look like, particularly in the hands of Radiohole, who are well-known for their frenetic and gadgetry filled performances. But it's also hard to imagine that with such rich sources they won't deliver something to remember. And if they keep up with tradition, despite the fancy digs at The Kitchen, there will still be the usual bucket of beers and sticking around afterwards to chat about what the heck you just witnessed.
Radiohole's Anger/Nation performs at The Kitchen, 512 W. 19th St., Manhattan, Sept. 11-13, 18-20, 24-27. Please visit www.thekitchen.org for more info.

Sons of the NationBy María Iñigo Clavo

We can think of the nation as akin to a narcissistic father figure that hopes to see his image, feats and aspirations reflected in the citizens
Sandcastles: Afghanistan, One Year OnBy Matthew Byrne
SEPT 2022 | Field Notes
A symbolic twenty years after 9/11, the Biden administration formally ended the United States war in Afghanistan, withdrawing the last of its troops from the south-central Asian nation. Melancholy anniversaries serve as reminders of missed opportunities, and this one is no different. Here, however, blunders appear frivolous when compared to the extraordinary corruption and pitiless violence perpetrated by US-backed forces in the region. While much has been made of the shockingly haphazard exit, the ease with which the Taliban seized Kabul, and the grim prospects for women, for girls, and for Afghans who worked with coalition forces, the cardinal sin of the war was not how it ended, but how it began.
The Art of Eliminating a NationBy Shir Mohammad Karimi
NOV 2021 | Critics Page
What a pain to hear a young woman cry, a thousand wishes gone. A child weeps for the father he has lost. These children did not choose where to be born. And yet, here we are. They are paying the biggest cost for this war of the world. To be witness to the explosion of a bomb in front of the girls school; one can never imagine. Their only crime was the desire to learn. This picture should be a source of shame for the world; it is a pure pain for us.
