Anybody interested in doing a "retro" typing contest in the style of "Dom Perignon Speed Contest":http://www.fitaly.com/domperignon/domperignon3.htm
This would give one way of comparing different Twiddler layouts.
Dom Perignon is like Formula 1. It is suitable to compare chord mappings optimized for a common but very small subset of keystrokes (space and letters with a tiny smattering of upper case and punctuation).
My daily keyflow contains stuff like this
if (mrOk == NForms::ShowAddVariable(GetDocumentPtr(), GetSelectedObjectKey(), eOperatorType, strName, &poOperator)) {
And an awful lot of this
thumbless, the mapping I use, is more of a 4 Finger Drive.
A line like this can be tested in a "Dom Perington Pro" version of the contest.I would definitely prefer this type of a line for testing myself.
This one I'm not sure how it could be tested...
Sounds like fun! I'm definitely not the fastest twiddler out there, but I'm up for a try.
I am interested! But would prefer to use a 3 min typing test that uses real sentences randomly taken from public domain books. This ensures realistic letter & ngram frequencies, capitalization, punctuation and forcing typist to decide to fix mistakes or take the WPM hit. It also prevents over-specialization where competitors get very very good at typing the same words in the same order. Competition should motivate learning skills and those skills should generalize.
It has been my experience so far that because tutor doesn't force user to fix mistakes, use capitalization, punctuation, use full words or words as they occur naturally, it is way overly generous with WPM. I've found that at 60 WPM in the tutor I'm about 40 WPM in a "real world" situation.
For general typing I've been pretty happy with this site so far: http://thetypingcat.com/typing-speed-test/3m
Also a separate typing test I'd also like to see one that uses randomly selected code. So far I've played with https://typing.io/ and http://speedcoder.net but I've spent a lot less time evaluating these.

What do you get when you combine an alt comic with 90's kitchiness and some punk rockin girl power attitude? Well unfortunately in 1995 you get Tank Girl ...
A Post-apocalyptic film based on a stylistically amazing comic starring Lori Petty, Ice-T, Naomi Watts and Malcolm McDowell !! ... and Ice-T is some sort of kangaroo?! How could you possibly go wrong? Make it in 1995.
Oh how I wish this movie could take a mulligan and we could all collectively witness what it SHOULD have been. Unfortunately, we have this jumbled piece of trash instead. Join us as our old pal Mark stops by to be tortured alongside me ... Andrew liked the film. Our friendship is trying at times.

There you are when... If your pelvic floor muscles are strong enough and if your orgasmic muscle tension is high enough and you're using an anal plug while having an orgasm then the dang thing pops out at your peak. Inconvenient that.
The Figo Series is unusual because the very long tapered tip is long enough to be gripped BY the pelvic floor muscles, rather than pushed out by the pelvic floor muscles. Smooth to insert and easy to hold. Our testers assured us that this was true regardless of which size they used. The soft-surfaced, smooth silicone construction includes a potential suction base/flange. Hand, harness or self-held, the Figo is a nice design in an affordable toy.

I've been thinking a lot about "silent inflammation" lately and how it is perceived to be the cause of numerous diseases (cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's and more). I'm putting more and more pieces of the puzzle together, and I'm really excited to experiment and track some healing strategies for myself and my horses in terms of inflammation.
I'm recalling a conversation I had with my chiropractor in Ocala about a year or so ago, when he did some muscle testing on me for gluten intolerance. When I tested positive for being sensitive to gluten, he said that my intestines were most likely inflamed and would need a break from gluten for a while – at least 6 months, up to a year. My intestinal lining would need time to heal, and in order to do this, I had to eliminate the cause of the irritation – gluten – and allow the repairs to begin.
So, up until recently, I was just focusing on eliminating the gluten, but now I'm thinking deeper. How did it get irritated and inflamed in the first place?
I've been doing some research and I'm finding that another good strategy to incorporate in my healing protocol is to make sure I don't have an overload of free radicals in my system. How do I do this? Make sure my body is able to produce its own antioxidants, make sure I'm taking in enough antioxidants in my diet, and making sure the toxins I'm exposed to are minimized.
Remember, free radicals are produced from normal cellular activity, but the body can normally produce antioxidants to neutralize the negative effects of the free radicals. In today's environment, with the excess exposure to toxins, chemicals in foods, lack of nutrients, stress, and so on, our bodies are bombarded with free radicals and our body isn't able to keep up with producing enough antioxidants to neutralize the free radicals. The average person doesn't eat enough good-quality, healthy food to take in enough antioxidants to deal with this onslaught.
So what happens? All of these free radicals create damage, which in turn, creates inflammation. If left untreated, this inflammation may lead to a number of diseases, arthritis being one of them. It can also lead to other diseases like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's, and cancer. These cause the body to produce even higher levels of inflammation.
According to Floyd H. Chilton, author of "Inflammation Nation," approximately 50% of Americans suffer from an inflammatory disorder.
Remember that inflammation is your body's normal response to injury and infection – inflammation helps the body heal. But when the body gets "stuck" in inflammation, that is when extra free radicals are produced.
So what are a couple of the things I am adding to my healing process? I'm looking into resveratrol, which is a chemical component of red wine, grapes, cocoa, and vegetables that helps prevent and reverse inflammation.
Glutathione, which is naturally produced in the body, is known as the master antioxidant. Glutathione (GSH) can neutralize way more free radicals than other antioxidants. As we age, the body tend to produce less glutathione, so I'm researching to see how I can maximize my body's production of GSH. It is believed that lack of nutrition and excessive toxins (from the environment, water, food, and lifestyle) are a big component of the decline in production of GSH.
According to an article in Well Being Journal (Jan./Feb. 2010 – Reversing Inflammation by Susan Smith Jones, Ph.D.), Robert Keller, M.D. has found that specific nutrients such as L-glutamine, N-acetyl cysteine and others, are needed to manufacture and absorb GSH.
Foods such as good-quality whey protein, curcumin, eggs, and grass-fed meat all help with the production of glutathione in the body.
Other excellent food sources for antioxidants are tomatoes, carrots, berries, peppers, oranges, (do you notice a pattern of very colorful produce?). Organic green tea is also high in antioxidants (I definitely have that one covered!).
There you have it. Next week I will touch upon infection and inflammation and talk about what strategies I'm starting to incorporate with myself and my horses to help with inflammation and osteoarthritis (an issue with my horses), which many say can't be reversed… but I beg to differ!

About me
I am pleased to have a chance to tell you about myself and the outstanding team that will help provide care for you during your pregnancy. Pregnancy is one of the most important parts of life, and our goal is to provide you with comprehensive care of the highest quality during this time. We hope to provide you with an experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Although not a native Californian, I have lived in Southern California since 1975. I was born in London, England, and after a short stay there and in India, I moved with my family to California. I have lived most of my life in Orange County. I am married and have two wonderful children. My wife is also a physician (a pathologist). I chose a career in maternal fetal medicine because it gives me the opportunity to help women with high-risk pregnancies throughout the process, from taking the history and doing an initial physical to performing diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound, and then offering medical and surgical treatment options.
About my practice
As a specialist in maternal fetal medicine, my goal is to help coordinate care for all maternity patients, but my focus is on high-risk patients, including those with medical problems such as diabetes and hypertension or pregnancies complicated fetal abnormalities or multiple gestation. Our core team consists of obstetricians, nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, nurses, dieticians, and support staff. Together as a team and with the support of all the other specialties, our goal is to provide you with the best possible care.
How I thrive
Having a balanced life is very important for everyone. Away from the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family doing all types of activities, taking family vacations, and helping my extended family with our family business.

First-Year Students:
To be considered for admission, applicants should have an earned GPA of 2.0 or better in a college preparatory curriculum (2.5 minimum GPA for consideration for nursing, 2.7 minimum GPA veterinary technology and pre-vet applicants).
Becker College has a test optional policy that allows students the choice of whether to submit their SAT or ACT scores in support of their admissions application. Applicants who do not chose to submit their test scores must have a cumulative GPA requirement of 2.0 or higher. (Please Note: Students who are interested in applying for pre-vet or vet-tech must have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher in order to go test flexible). Students are required to indicate at the time of application submission whether they will submit test scores. It is recommended that a student submit their scores if they believe it will enhance their overall application or qualifications.
The college does require SAT or ACT scores to be admitted into the following specific majors: nursing programs. All other majors may chose the test flexible option if they meet the minimum GPA requirement.
The test flexible option is available for all students regardless of domestic or international student status. Please note: international students are still required to submit English Proficiency exam scores (TOEFL, IELTS) and recorded responses through a video feature provided within the application. Again, it is recommended that students submit their SAT or ACT scores to provide the college additional information while reviewing your application.
Complete application packages should include:
- A completed application submitted online or via The Common Application.
- An official copy of the secondary school transcript sent directly to Becker College. Students who have received a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) must forward an official score report. Freshman admission is contingent upon the applicant's graduation from high school or successful completion of the GED. Applicants will need to have a final transcript submitted to Becker College following the release of final grades.
- SAT R or ACT scores are required for nursing, veterinary technology, and pre-vet applicants. The Becker College CEEB code is 3079.
- A letter of recommendation from a guidance counselor or academic advisor which attests to the applicant's individual qualifications is optional. Becker College recognizes that all students are individuals and will consider each applicant's personal strengths and achievements. Any other supporting materials that are submitted will be considered.
- Optional essay on any topic, approximately 250-500 words in length.
- Applicants whose GPA falls below a 2.0 or whose curriculum was not entirely college preparatory will be reviewed on an individual basis. These applicants must submit: all the items listed above, two letters of recommendation (one from a guidance counselor), and an essay and/or a personal interview.
- Interviews are not required but they are strongly recommended. Interviews may be conducted on the day of your campus visit (pre-registration is required) or you may contact our office to schedule a separate interview time. All applicants will be assigned their own individual admissions counselor and applicants are encouraged to meet their counselor. Interviews can also be conducted via Skype or over the phone.

» View Nursing Freshman Applicant Info
Home Schooled Applicants:
- Becker encourages applications from home-schooled students, and makes every effort to accommodate the special circumstances of home-schooled applicants while in the application process. Students who have followed an approved home school program in accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home state must show evidence that the home school program was approved by the student's school district's superintendent or school committee. Students who have not followed an approved home school program will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; in some cases, an official General Education Diploma (GED) may be required. Home-school applicants must follow the admission criteria for freshman (or transfer) applicants and submit the remaining necessary documentation.
- Additionally, if the home- schooled student is under the age of compulsory attendance, which is sixteen (16) years old in Massachusetts, a letter from the student's school district's superintendent or school committee is required stating that the student is not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be home-schooled if the student has completed his/her home school program before the age of sixteen (16).
- The College reserves the right to limit or deny enrollment of any student under the age of sixteen (16) in a course or program based on a case-by-case consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the student's maturity, life experience, placement test scores, prior education, course content, instructional methodology, and potential risks associated with participation in a particular course or program.
Freshman and Transfer Applicants: Interactive Media
Admission for any of the Interactive Media programs (Computer Game Design, Computer Game Development and Programming, Computer Game Production Management, and Game Art) is rigorous. The College selects the most academically qualified candidates.
Applicants who are not selected for the Interactive Media programs but do meet the general admission requirements of the College may be accepted for another major of their choice. These students will have the opportunity to reapply for their desired major in a future semester and may be admitted on a space-available basis.
Portfolios are optional and not required for any of the concentrations, although submitting one is always recommended because the program is very competitive. Submitted portfolios should be online, (a website with included samples of art work, programming, or other examples of work you have done in and around video game design is the preferred portfolio format). There are no formal requirements about what can or cannot be included. You should be creative! The easiest way to submit the link to your portfolio website is by writing a brief essay with the link included, and then submit that essay in the appropriate essay or personal statement section of the application. Questions? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note: At Becker College, our core values are central to our community: excellence, accountability, community and diversity, social responsibility, integrity, and creative expression. With respect to these values, the Office of Admissions gives careful consideration to the circumstances of a suspension or disciplinary action reported by a high school or high school student.

BOLTON MP Sir Davis Crausby has signed a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson calling for him to support the Northern Forest scheme which began with tree planting on moorland near the town.
The cultivation of 28,000 saplings at the Smithills Estate to replace those destroyed by last year's Winter Hill fires was one of the acts to create the new woodland spanning 120 miles from Manchester to Hull.
Sir David is one of 120 Northern MPs and local leaders to sign the letter.
He said: "I am proud to support the plans for the Northern Forest as it will help to tackle climate change and create thriving natural habitats that will benefit us all for generations to come. I hope that the Prime Minister will listen and back this project."

Region of Waterloo Arts Fund hosts open house
Waterloo Region – The Region of Waterloo Arts Fund's board of directors is hosting an Open House for grant applicants in advance of the Fall 2019 round. This will be an informal drop-in session where board members will be available to share general information about the Fund and its mandate.
This is not a grant writing session. Board members are restricted from providing specific application assistance.
What: Drop-in Open House
When: Tuesday, August 13, 2019, 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.
Short information presentation at 5:15 p.m.
Where: Region of Waterloo Administrative Headquarters
150 Frederick Street, Kitchener
Room 110, Ground Floor
No pre-registration required; just stop by.
The mandate of the Arts Fund is to "make art happen" – stimulate arts activity – immediately, by funding projects throughout the Region that will occur within the next 12 months and, over the longer term, will enhance the ability of an artist or arts organization to make more art happen through future projects.
Created in 2002, the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund is a not-for-profit corporation which provides arms-length funding for dance; film /video (including music videos); writing/publishing; music/recording; performance/event/multidiscipline; theatre; and visual arts/crafts/multimedia arts in the Region of Waterloo. The Arts Fund invites applications in the spring and fall of each year. Applicants are first asked to submit a Stage 1 application outlining their project. On the basis of a review of those applications, a short list of applicants is then asked to submit a more detailed proposal in a Stage 2 application, augmented by budgets and additional support materials.
The Arts Fund is one of the very few funds in Canada that awards grants directly to artist-led projects. The Arts Fund also supports new projects initiated by local arts organizations in collaboration with artists based in the Region. The funds are generously made available through Regional Council's allocation of the equivalent to a grant of 67 cents per capita.
By investing in the community via the Arts Fund, the supported projects have the ability to attract additional funds through earned revenue, grants from provincial, federal or private sources, sponsorships, private and in-kind donations.
The Region of Waterloo Arts Fund welcomes applications in all arts disciplines from individual artists and arts organizations based in the Region of Waterloo (comprising the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo and the townships of North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich).
The next deadline for applications to the Arts Fund is 4 p.m. on Friday, September 6, 2019. Full details are available on the website: www.artsfund.ca.
For more information about the Open House, contact the Arts Fund via email: firstname.lastname@example.com, or by phone at 519-575-4450.

Lessons from Reggio Emilia #1: Our ways of working
The first in a series of posts about what we all – regardless of location, curriculum and age level – can learn from the philosophy, practices and people of Reggio Emilia.
One of the most powerful impressions that I left Reggio Emilia with is the mind-blowing intelligence of the teachers who work there. Each one of the people I encountered spoke of children and their learning in a way that was deeply rooted in psychology, described in evocative – often poetic – language, richly conceptual and always, always, about growth and what is possible.
Teachers in Reggio Emilia are constantly poised, alert to the nuances of learning that goes on around them. They see concepts as they are unfolding in front of them (as though they were being displayed in their retina!) and are able to name and document them as possibilities for further inquiry. They notice, for example, when a three year-old child says one toy car goes faster down a ramp than the other toy cars "because the air goes through it". They name that concept as "aerodynamics" and they respond in the full belief that children that young are capable – given the right materials and support – of launching into a full-scale research project into such a complex concept.
Clearly, there are many ingredients that help to develop this intelligence. But one quote, hit me really hard the moment I heard it:
"Teachers have a right to intelligent ways of working"Silvia Crociani, a Teacher in Reggio Emilia
This resonated with me because I've been doing a lot of work recently on two things that have become fundamental in the art of teaching today – (1) the mentality and dispositions of the teacher, and (2) the processes that teachers are involved in.
Those processes are our ways of working.
As a PYP Coordinator, I have been trying to develop processes for planning that encourage teachers to operate intelligently – to question habits and norms, to avoid repetition of units or teaching from the planner, to identify the real purpose behind what we're doing with students, to grapple with semantics as we endeavour to describe learning, to be researchers into their students' thinking and behaviour, to document their observations and see them as data, to ponder what 'to understand' means and what might be genuine evidence of understanding, etc…
But it struck me that we may have been trying to go through these processes within a bigger context of unintelligent ways of working. In other words, we have been trying our best, pushing our mental capacities, but we've been doing this within some systematic constraints that limit our ability to go beyond a certain point.
The first, and most important, constraint is time.
In Reggio Emilia it has been decided that, if teachers are to be capable of thinking about the children they are teaching, going through the notes and other forms of documentation they have about the children, sharing thoughts and diversifying their perspectives about the children with other adults, making thoughtful decisions about how they will respond to what children are doing and saying and taking action to make those decisions become reality… then they need time to do so. As a minimum, six hours per week is devoted – officially – to doing just that.
It is a priority.
It may even be the priority because everything else hinges on what comes out of it.
In most of the schools you and I operate in, that time has not been identified as a priority. When creating school timetables, very often with an industrial mindset, this often comes as an afterthought – in 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 24th place in the order of priorities depending on the school you're in. Many teachers snatch at snippets of time throughout the week, others may have one hour a week, two if they're lucky. Great teachers continue to think well beyond the school day, their minds never turning off, making them prone to burn-out or that feeling of isolation many of us feel when the system doesn't support how we wish we could operate.
I urge all school leaders to ponder the following questions:
- Do we believe that the quality of learning is directly related to the amount of time teachers have to reflect, think, discuss, make plans and take action?
- Are the systems in our school promoting these things as a priority?
- How can we use the phrase "intelligent ways of working" to reflect on how we do things in our school?
Incendiary Learning
We've always stated that meaningful learning is flammable. It starts with a spark and then ignites! You know when learning has caught fire….. agency ensues and the student drives their learning and not too much can get in their way. The difference between a flame and incendiary learning can be categorized quite easily in terms of duration, desire and determination.
A flame burns during a specific period of time (unit of inquiry) and usually reduces to embers, just like a typical fire. The student was empowered and energized, yet there was a point that they moved on to the next thing.
Incendiary learning catches fire and stays burning bright, long after a unit of inquiry. The student is empowered and energized, and they are still in the fire taking their learning even further, long after the next thing.
A stark contrast. One is perishable and one is enduring.
The subtle difference between 'was' and 'is' has a remarkable difference at the same time. This changes the whole complexion of learning as the 'energy of learning' has been sustained and has the learner enthralled.
Last week, I visited a previous School I was at and a number of the students I taught literally, hunted me down. One of those students was Nicole.
This is Nicole as a Grade 5 student chatting with the Head of School (Adrian Watts) and explaining the message she is trying to communicate through her art piece. Her art work is incredibly personal and powerful as she is expressing the importance of finding her voice and expressing who she is. The mouths in the background are all those who have told her that she can't do anything. With Nicole at the center of her art work, her positivity is radiating out and drowning out the negative and judgmental voices. This was a real turning point for Nicole in developing her self belief. She had a teacher who saw something special, and it was all about allowing her to see that too. This was Step 1 in Nicole's journey of finding herself.
The next learning experience pushed her even further. Enter the PYP Exhibition. Nicole's artwork was the first step she needed to take and this naturally led her to explore and better understand her next self-discovery…. putting her new transformative experience of who she is becoming into action and finding direction in the process!
This is Nicole during the Exhibition selling her 'FABTAB' (comes in different sizes and colours) at a market at a funky local cafe and skater hangout. This is the moment that shaped her to be a confident and articulate communicator as she interacted with dozens and dozens of people interested in her entrepreneurial idea. Incendiary Learning! Students, parents, teachers and customers were truly astonished!
As I mentioned above, I saw Nicole last week. We got talking and she said that she just made her first nternational order to Ireland of 100 FabTabs….. Nicole is still producing, refining and taking orders, now international orders, for her FabTab. What a journey she has been on and is still very much on. It all started from her artwork, that was the first step she took in believing in herself, because she had someone who believed in her. We must believe in all of our students. Personalize learning, individualize learning, whatever form it takes or looks like, choose the right approach at the right time to connect, develop and strengthen their identity of who they are. Work from that point, work from within! Let students determine their own identity and not the other way around! It is our role to play a hand in nurturing and nudging them in positive ways to see their own potential.
This is exactly what I mean by Incendiary Learning! The fire is still burning bright and Nicole has stretched in ways where she can confidently talk about the learning experience….. long after 'the unit.' Nicole has led her learning and is proud of what she has achieved. Agency…… yeah, true Agency at its very core! This is Nicole now in Grade 7 doing a photo shot for this very piece. The relationship and connection seems just like yesterday, still very much alive too!
Again and again…. keep our eye on the ball!
Keep your eye on the ball
Teaching is an incredibly challenging and fulfilling profession. It's emotionally charged and demands and expects so much of us. As teachers we give everything we've got to see our students be successful and thrive.
This posting is a very personal one, with a powerful message for us all.
Leadership is challenging. And to be a good leader you need to make tough calls. While good leaders aim to be transparent and involve others in the decision making. To that end there is so much that teachers don't see. They don't need to see. And as leaders we need to shield teachers. While every effort goes in to creating a positive and professional culture, there are times when a decision falls the other way. As professionals we need to respect that and know that we are all trying to do the best we can to create the best conditions for learning. There are obvious ebbs and flows in our line of work. And when we begin to question ourselves (which we do) or lose confidence in why we are leading down a particular path, or not. We must keep our eye on the ball. I read a profound quote from Steve Jobs today. It said, "If you want to make people happy, don't get into leadership, sell ice-cream." How true is that….
We hear teachers say, 'it is about the kids.' This is why we are doing what we do, every single day. Yesterday, I was feeling rather deflated. It happens. More frustrated that we still have teachers who just don't get it.
And then I received an email. Like the universe was dropping a piano on my head to snap me out of my funk. We must keep our eye on the ball. I'm listening!
Above is a photo of Kevin and I during my first overseas post in Sweden in 2006, where I was teaching a grade 3/4 composite class. Kevin's mother emailed me saying that she was clearing out his room and came across a book with a letter I wrote to him.
Tine, Kevin's mother, wanted a photo of me to give to Kevin as something special for his 20th birthday. She went on to say, that I was Kevin's best teacher and had the most impact on him throughout his schooling. One of the sentences I wrote in the above letter stated the importance of following his dreams and how I would 'love to see where he was in 10 years….'
Well, I got my answer and it could not have come at a better time. One that made me quite emotional. It hit me like a lightning bolt. No matter how tough our job gets, we must keep our eye on the ball. Our students. This is one of these times, when we say it is about the kids and mean it with a full heart. Every word! Kevin is now at Coventry University studying Motorsport Engineering. He is following his passion – formula 4 championship racing. I got goosebumps reading the email from his mother.
The other takeaway I got from this is the importance of knowing or finding out the paths our past students take later in life. We need to find a way that makes that tangible. This is where the real fulfillment comes from in our profession. To appreciate that we had a very important role in their lives. There is no better feeling when years later, our students of 'tomorrow' look back, reach out and say you made a difference – look where I am now! That is what this is all about for me. Moments with impact. We have so many moments with our students. Moments we don't realize the gravity of and how that stays with our students years beyond moving on through their lives. As teachers, we must keep our eye on the ball. It is beautiful moments, stories like these that make it all worth it.
I am fine with the tough talks, making calls and challenging negativity. This is because I have my eye back on the ball today!
"Recruiting Season Stressing You Out?" by Kavita Satwalekar
Make a conscious decision about your future. Think through your long-term plan (a.k.a. 5-yr plan for some, and 10-yr plan for others) and start working towards it.
Will staying in the school move you one step closer to your long-term plan, or will leaving do that?
Step 1: Think through your long-term plan:
Picture your IDEAL situation. What do you see yourself doing at work? Where are you living? How many children do you have? What are your children doing – is that even a consideration? Who is taking care of your parents?
Your Vision:
- If you could dare to think out loud, where do you want to be in 10 years?
- What are all the crazy and wacky things you could do to realize your long-term plan?
- Suppose, just for a moment, you live in a world where fear and anxiety do not exist. What could you do now?
Focus on the Outcome:
- What is it that you really, REALLY want? Dig deep…
- What is the PAIN of NOT achieving your plan?
Align your vision with your Values:
- Is this plan in line with your values? (Hint: Ask yourself what's really important to you in life – will this plan help you achieve more of that?)
- Is this plan something YOU truly want, or is it something you think you SHOULD have? (Hint: If it is a 'should have', it may be someone else's dream)
- When you think about your plan does it give you a sense of deep contentment or 'rightness', happiness and excitement?
Step 2: Work towards your long-term plan:
Now break this down into achievable steps by answering the following questions:
- What's good about your current situation? (e. what's the benefit of staying where you are?)
- Can you hold on to those good aspects if you decide to make a change? Or is that something you're willing to sacrifice?
- Suppose you had all the information you needed, what would your next step/s be?
- If you did nothing else this school year, what 3 things would still make the year a success for you?
- What can you start doing, stop doing or do more of, to move towards your long-term plan? (Make a list using this "Action Brainstorming" tool)
If you still find yourself in a dilemma, please do reach out to me and I can conduct an online "Dilemma Coaching" session with you. Please note that you should have thought through all the questions I've listed above for that session to be effective. I can be reached via email at email@example.com or through my website at www.innersensecoaching.com.
Time for a media detox?
Sometimes I watch toxic forms of entertainment media by mistake. I may make this mistake by being fooled into thinking I'm enjoying it… Game of Thrones fell into that category until I became aware of how disgusting it was to watch an endless stream of people have their throats slit, and how it was preparing us all for the current political climate of not knowing who to trust (i.e. nobody).
Today, I allowed myself to watch Triple 9 as a form of masochistic entertainment and to educate myself about what mainstream crap people are flocking in their millions to watch. Like most shows and movies at the moment, it's mainly about the fact that you never know who is good or bad. Dirty cops, bent politicians, self-serving narcissists with blood on their hands, decent people forced into crime by their circumstances, repulsive gangsters with a vocabulary of 7 words. This is the portrayal of cool, this is what is being transmitted to us all as "normal", as "how it is".
Sure, kids shouldn't be watching this toxic stuff… but they do. Here in Vietnam, I have seen babies glued to iPad screens watching cool American people shoot each other. I know of 8-year-olds who've seen every episode of Game of Thrones. I know many kids who've seen Breaking Bad. They're not only being fed toxic food, but their minds are being poisoned too. The message? Shooting people is not only the norm, it's also kind of cool.
And then, there's the adults. The countless bored adults sitting at home getting a thrill every time some mediaeval prince's throat gapes open, getting an adrenaline rush watching heavily armed robo-soldiers massacre villagers, gripping the seat as yet another car chase scene takes the lives of innocent faceless families on their way home from the supermarket, thinking their intellect is being stimulated as they try and figure out what side – if any – Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne is on, momentarily feeling an emotion before forgetting the image of another hooker all cut up and mutilated in a dumpster to focus on the latest supercool, unshaven renegade detective light up a smoke and sip a glass of bourbon in a dimly lit bar.
You see… I get the distinct feeling that the education we provide counts for nothing as long as the media continues to toxify, misdirect, confuse, anesthetize and desensitize us. As long as the people behind the media control what we watch, they control how we think, feel and behave. The vast majority of us who consistently absorb all of this are educated… well, we went to school and university at least. Genuinely educated? Perhaps not. If we can't see we're being manipulated then we're just not that smart, are we? If we are willing to tolerate glitzy, high-budget forms of entertainment portraying everything that is wrong with the world while ignoring the fact that there are real things that need to be done… well… we're not moving on that quickly, are we?
If I had the time, I would love to do a full inquiry into the income generated by bloodgutsmurderlyingwarviolence movies compared with movies that make you feel good, or tell a story of ethics. First off, the hunt for examples of the latter would be over very fast. Secondly, the data – I am sure – would be so grossly unbalanced as to make it appear completely ridiculous.
I'd like to see Hollywood and its equivalent in whatever countries are making this stuff start to take some responsibility for the effect they have on people, which probably won't happen. So, we have a few choices:
- Detox – don't watch any of it, and try and help other people do the same thing
- Prepare – teach people to understand media, the real reasons its produced and what effect it might be having on them and others
The first option is not a reality… you only have to think about how traffic slows down so everyone can take a good look at the grisly remains of a car crash (or the disappointment when there's nothing to see) to understand the animalistic desire to torment ourselves with disturbing or distressing imagery and emotions.
So, perhaps the only answer is a hard-hitting approach towards teaching critical media consumption, from an early age. Stop blocking stuff and denying the existence of anything mildly controversial in schools and get real. Get it out in the open and have some discourse with students about it. We need to be helping them learn how to think… but I feel like we're still only generating an endless stream of thoughtless consumers. Mainly because most of us are thoughtless consumers too!
Why "kids love this" isn't actually good enough
Twitter, educational websites, articles and news stories are all increasingly full of headlines about how kids love this latest gadget or that new gizmo. Photos show such children gathered around these shiny, new bits of technology pressing buttons and, apparently, learning all by themselves. Schools chuck cash at little robots and the latest big screen things with a thousand features nobody needs. They're playing in virtual forests or putting a thing on their head and pretending to make a sandwich, yet get bored in a real forest and wouldn't dream of making an actual sandwich they can eat. They're flying hovering mechanical pests around while we all ignorantly pretend that one day they won't have real weaponry on them… you know, like the real ones used by the military of powerful countries. They stare into screens with their increasingly ineffective eyes and suffer periods away from them like heroin-addicts waiting for their next hit. They will give their attention to a video of a teacher explaining something yet ignore the real human being in front of them.
Meanwhile, all the adults are saying more and more meaningless things about it all, like how "cool" or "awesome" it is. How this generation can "multi-task" so much better than previous ones. How they can learn "without us". And, most ignorantly of all, how much "they love it".
Now, let's talk about something else kids "love". Candy. They will gorge themselves on giant handfuls of fluorescent, toxic, carcinogenic, lumps of sugar, chemicals and the occasional bit of re-purposed animal product interminably until someone either stops them, it runs out or they throw up. Do we also think this is "cool" or "awesome"?
Don't get me wrong. I think kids are capable of the most amazing things, but they still need guidance. Older generations have still earned the right to be concerned about something that doesn't look quite right to them. People who have fought in wars or lost their fathers and uncles to conflicts that later turned out to just be testing grounds for the latest weapons technology have the right to feel uncomfortable about how robots and drones will probably end up (already are) being used and who will control them. People who grew up with gangs of friends who talked until the sun set and the voices of their mothers called them home for dinner have the wisdom to regret seeing their children and grandchildren vanish into little digital rectangles and six-second concentration spans. The millions and millions of people who have experienced the joy of arguments in the grey areas of existence between right and wrong, good or bad must have legitimate worries about generations emerging who know only of dichotomies, liking and disliking and believing the latest thing a computer told them to think.
Just because we conveniently ignore the fact that we too will be old, we too will be silenced, written off and shoved in a nursing home to wait to die by the apparently all-knowing younger generations doesn't mean we can't speak out now and call for some technological wisdom, some caution and maybe even… perish the thought… a little foresight? There's a new sort of culture that's telling us that the older people get the more stupid they become. We're issuing licenses to our young to ignore us while willingly giving them the tools they need to dehumanise themselves and their poor unsuspecting offspring. Oh, and I forgot the best bit, manufacturing all this shite is systematically making the air, water and land too toxic for any of them to inhabit.
Yeah… "cool" right? Pretty "awesome" eh?
Now, I know most people won't even have read this far into the posting and will have already liked, not liked, retweeted, followed or unfollowed on the basis of the title, first few sentences or whatever image I put in it. I also know that the technology I am using to write and share this is the technology I am talking about. Be careful about falling into the trap I referred to above, about completely agreeing or disagreeing, about thinking I am totally right or totally wrong. Neither you or I know… let's not flatter ourselves. Just allow yourselves to ponder, to ask questions, to think critically and, yes, to be just about as cynical as our children and their children deserve us to be.
Natural inquiry depends on a culture of permission
Inquiry is basically about permission.
When students know that they are able or allowed to pursue the questions that come into their head, take the directions that become appealing to them and make their own decisions, they do those things more. It sounds obvious to say it, but it's true.
When there is a culture of permission – when the teacher in the room is more likely to say "yes… let's do it, let's give a go, let's get that, let's go there, let's see if we can find that"… well, then the students are more likely to end up with that attitude and more interesting learning happens as a result.
You know when you've entered a classroom like this as it has a very particular feeling to it. Students are usually engaged in doing very different things and working in different ways, and the teacher is not the centre of attention. In fact, there is usually a sense of things not being completely under the teacher's control, a wonderful feeling of teetering on the brink of chaos. Not only is this type of teacher comfortable with not being completely in control, she is also confident in her students' ability to make decisions and that "bad decisions" are not bad decisions but opportunities for real learning.
Children have their natural tendencies to inquire eroded progressively as they get older. Sometimes, this is because the adults around them fear for their safety! Other times, though, it is because the adults around them want to be in control… or feel they have to be in control because that's what teaching is.
So, I guess the culture of permission starts at the top. If school leaders make sure teachers know that being in complete control of students no longer represents good teaching, perhaps teachers will – in turn – be more inclined to release control to their students.
Lizards, stopping and giving attention.
Today, a lizard visited me. It was on my bag… for no reason, well seemingly.
It might have appeared to tell me that my universe is aligned, that the things I need are with me. Just the way it was that hot night in Bangladesh when the power had gone off for hours and my daughter, a month old, had cried and cried until a Gecko appeared on the wall. As I held her in my sweaty arms, my mind frazzled and her face red from screaming… the presence of the Gecko soothed us, reminded us of the presence of something else. Something both smaller and bigger than us.
Today, this lizard might be telling me that what I just read and the connections I have just made are profound and that I must stop and listen to them, just the way I stopped and acknowledged the presence of the lizard.
This is what I read:
"… geniuses of all kinds excel in their capacity for sustained voluntary attention. Just think of the greatest musicians, mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers throughout history – all of them, it seems, have had an extraordinary capacity to focus their attention with a high degree of clarity for long periods of time. A mind settled in such a state of alert equipoise is a fertile ground for the emergence of all kind of original associations and insights. Might "genius" be a potential we all share – each of us with our own capacity for creativity, requiring only the power of sustained attention to unlock it? A focused mind can help bring the creative spark to the surface of consciousness. The mind constantly caught up in one distraction after another, on the other hand, may be forever removed from its creative potential."
The Attention Revolution by Alan Wallace
These are the connections I made:
- We need to evaluate whether or not the "busyness" and scheduling in schools is, actually, exactly what Wallace is referring to by "caught up in one distraction after another".
- We need to take some time to be very honest about whether or not students (and teachers) are, in fact, just being "caught up in one distraction after another".
- We need to explore ways in which we can create "long periods of time" in which students (and teachers) can reach that "state of alert equipoise" in which everyone can be at their best.
- We need to make the relationship between mindfulness practice in schools and the capacity of students (and teachers) to sustained voluntary attention more explicit.
- We need to develop a sophisticated understanding of what attention means and move beyond thinking it is just either (a) listening to a teacher or (b) doing what a teacher expects students to do.

Conscious Classroom
Walking into the Early Years inquiry space is always a delight. I've noticed that I walk a bit faster and my mind starts swirling with intrigue as I make a beeline for Early Years. Why is that?
- The Teachers: they are learners. They want to grow and challenge and experiment with ideas. Every – and I mean every – conversation is centered around students and ideas and ways to evolve and illuminate learning.
- The Space: it is changing. The space reflects thinking.
- The Energy: it's electric and alive. You feel like you are under a spell when you are around the students and in their space. You can only be energized from it.
- The Technology: Seesaw is the best thing out there. The students (3-4 year olds) know more about Seesaw than I do. How good is that! Seesaw in short is a window into the learning. Parents are able to log on and see and read what their child is up to. It is easy to use and provides a central way for all teachers to collaborate and collect evidence of learning. It also provides updates with a weekly summary and breaks down the activity per grade level.
- The Curriculum: We're making it work for and with the students. Inspired from ISHCMC, we are now looking for learning more naturally and have developed a conscious space for inquiry, curiosity and learning.
Using something that was first germinated through the EE Center at the International School of Ho Chi Minh City, we brought The Water Cycle here to VIS. We've blended all 4 units of inquiry as year long units of inquiry. This approach has liberated the learning, been more timely and true to the student's genuine interest as inquiry learners.
This is our first attempt of documenting the learning and becoming more familiar and confident in making natural curriculum connections. This is our starting point.
Of course, having the Early Years teachers we have they took it a step further and are now documenting the process of learning and the inquiry that emerges naturally.
They have created their own A3 size book to document learning of each student.
Making those connections to the curriculum in it's most simplest form. This is the best way to 'learn' about the PYP.
The teachers are excited about the potential in unlocking the learning. It has created a a conscious culture where everything the students do IS learning. As you can see on the top right of the above photo, each student has their own tab for the teacher to record their observations.
This is why I enjoy being around Early Years. The teachers are interested and engaged. They strive to be the best teachers they can. They are growing and constantly stretching themselves. And let me make this point again and abundantly clear – EVERY conversation is about student learning – EVERY single one!
I would love to be a kid in Early Years, or be a very happy parent if my child was with this exciting team that continues to find ways to evolve.
The work of the Teacher
The best teachers are always on the lookout for their students.
I don't mean in a pastoral way, or a supervisory way.
I mean, in a way that shows an innate curiosity about what their students are doing, what their students are saying, how their students are reacting or responding to particular situations, the kind of questions their students are asking, the kind of prejudices their students have, the kind of misgivings their students have, the kind of biases their students have, the kind of misunderstandings their students have, the misconceptions, the relationships, their interests, their tendencies.
To be aware of, and fascinated and motivated by these things is… the work of the Teacher.

Garlic fried rice, anise wine-cured meats, and sunny-side-up eggs is a great way to start the day
On a rainy October weekend last year, I was visiting a friend and her boyfriend in Chicago. We had all endured a couple of late nights in a row—there was a Halloween party where the Windy City denizens made out-of-towners try Malort. And so when it came time one morning to decide where to have breakfast in Chicago, I put myself entirely in the hands of the people who lived there. And thank goodness I did, because if I hadn't been OK with their suggestion of Uncle Mike's Place, a Filipino joint in Ukrainian Village, I would have missed out on one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.
When we arrived at Uncle Mike's, the restaurant was already bustling. The back room looked more like a banquet hall than a dining room, with large groups taking over rows of pushed-together tables. While we waited for our table, we watched servers whirl out of the kitchen with balletic precision, carrying pots of coffee, steaming bowls of lugao—rice porridge—and plate after plate of heaping servings of rice and cured meat. All the smells speeding by were rich and heady: garlic, strong coffee, and what I later learned was anise wine.
Yep, anise wine for breakfast. If you make the right choice, here's what you'll order: a bowl of creamy, stomach-settling lugao, quickly followed by a bursting-to-the-seams platter of a pile of garlic fried rice, a gorgeous tangle of bright scarlet tocino (annato—a red plant extract—and anise-cured pork shoulder), a few links of equally red longanizo (anise wine-cured chorizo, more or less), a small pot of soupy beans, a small dish of heavy-on-the-tomato pico de gallo, and two perfectly fried sunny-side-up eggs draped over everything. When it arrives, you should sprinkle the dish with a few deliberate turns of the pepper mill and you should add milk and sugar to your coffee.
The sweet will balance the savory; the milk will balance the spice. You should eat small bites of the pico with big bites of everything else. You will probably not want to speak in close proximity to someone afterward until you have a chance to brush your teeth, but I think this is to be celebrated.
Uncle Mike's doesn't let you ease into the morning with something understated. It forces you to grab onto bold flavors first thing, to try something new, and—maybe, possibly, not saying it happened to me or anything—unbutton your skinny jeans part way through your meal so you can eat every last bite.

Oiloss'lin Xyrrai'zestu Sharen
- Nether Summoning
- Kery'awa Xyrrai'zestu Sharen - Daughter

- Nona'brail Xyrrai'zestu Sharen
- Kail'odian Xyrrai'zestu Sharen
- Dragon rider and owner of Taragh'fel
- Rode into battle while 3 months pregnant
Oiloss'lin is a cameo character designed by Thalar, and shared first place in the FFRPG character contest in 2006 with Nal'Relka Val'Sarghress. Oiloss'lin is a caring mother and loyal Dragon Knight for the Vel'Sharen.
Appearance and Personality
Oiloss'lin bears her house symbol over her armour and has scars over her left eye. Her white hair is long and tied into a ponytail. She is a caring mother and a loyal Sharen.
Biography - Arc 1
During the Nidra'chaal Uprising, she fell victim to accidental tainting while fighting Nidra'chaal demons.
Biography - Arc 2
31 years later, Oiloss'lin and her family were assigned to defend the Sharen-held districts at Darya Lake. She joined nether summoners in releasing demons into the area to slow down the Sarghress advance, but eventually was forced to retreat with her wounded daughter Kery'awa. She leaves Kery'awa in the care of Feli'cia's empath attendants and captures surviving Sarghress troops when their base collapsed from an explosion. Once again she and remaining Sharen troops were forced to retreat when the Sarghress took the Slaver's District--Oiloss'lin took command of the remaining forces and lead the retreat. Later, she found a plush of a dragon in a ruined store and gave it to her daughter, who had sorely missed her slain dragon mount.
Notable Quotes
"... I have become tainted. So are most of us that survived so far. The hunt is over for us, we have to retreat and find refuge if Sharess allows. May the other bloodlines have more luck than we." Describing how the Nidraa'chal war impacted her and the forces under her command.

Reading on my spare time is a completely new concept for me! The craziness in my life just didn't allow for it. I read
How Full Is Your Bucket?
during my undergraduate career and included it below because I really enjoyed it. I didn't pick up a novel again until the Twilight series (which wasn't until after the first movie came out). Another long gap. Then I read
The Firm
shortly after I started watching the TV show on NBC. From there, the list just kept growing.

Mas Grande que tu is the name of Miguelito's debut album. This energetic seven-year-old has managed to capture the reggaeton scene with the mega hit, Montala. George Rivera was in charge of production, while DJ Memo engineered the album to be released by El Cartel Records, Daddy Yankee's label. Mas Grande que Tu will hit stores on Tuesday December 19.
The young phenomenon first showed interest in reggaeton at the age of six. He never lets his musical career affect his personal success, however; having graduated with honors from the second grade at the
This golden boy has shared the stage with Daddy Yankee, whom he considers his idol. Miguelito has warmed up to some of the big names of reggaeton, none of which are safe from the kid's appetite to pull pranks.
At the start of next year, Miguelito will set off on an aggressive promotional tour in support of Mas Grande que Tu throughout

Gibraltar's Environmental department has provided an update on its ongoing repair and improvement works across different locations. So far, they say, stones have been removed from Eastern Beach, rocks from the shore at Little Bay and sand has been deposited at Camp Bay, with great care being taken not to affect marine wildlife. The changing rooms in Catalan Bay have been totally refurbished and Camp Bay is currently in the process of being painted.
On the Upper Rock, the access steps to Lower St Michael's Cave have been replaced with wider, safer steps to improve access. At the main cave, the lighting on the stairs has been replaced and improved.
Also on the Upper Rock, stabilisation work has now been completed at Jews' Gate by the access steps to Martin's Path, and the Pillars of Hercules monument has been fully refurbished.
The improvements follow on from the opening of new tourist attractions such as the Skywalk and Windsor bridge, the new site at Europa Point and extended hours at Upper Rock sites, which are also enjoyed by local residents.

My name starts with a K, and when I was in preschool we had our homework graded. Everytime I received an O.K. I thought I was getting a 0%.
When I was at nursery school, our teacher told us we would be going into assembly for the first time, ready for when we moved up into real school. I had no idea what assembly was at all, and thought it was a museum with lots of white statues in it that you walked around. I was a bit disappointed when I got into the assembly hall and realised we just sat in a line and sang hymns!
When i was in the 5th grade my teacher handed the whole class a sheet of paper that had classes that we'd need to take for the 6th grade and SHOP was on the list. Me and my friends were all happy because we thought that SHOP class meant that we'd get to shop at a mall or something....so the 1st day of 6th grade i asked my mom for 100bucks..she asked why and i said "mom dont you know? i got shop class today". she laughed and gave me a quarter.....
I thought when you are writing you just capitalized whatever you words you thought were important. Later I found out they actually did write that way a long time ago.
When I was five, I was really excited for my first day of school. The months leading up to kindergarten I would constantly ask my mom how many days were left, if the first day was tomorrow etc. Then the first day of school happens, I have an excellent time, don't stop talking about it for the whole afternoon.
The next day my mom goes to wake me up early again. I was really reluctant to get up and I asked my mom why she was waking me up.
My mom replied, "To go to school, honey."
In my most sincere, no-duh voice I said;
"Ugh, Mom, I did that yesterday."
When I was in Elementary school I used to believe that minimum days were actually called M&M days, and that those days you would go to school and the teachers would give out M&Ms. I was greatly disappointed.
On my last day in kindergarten, I remember turning to my best friend and telling her that I was sort of sad to be finished with it, because not only did I not "guard" any "kinder", but I didn't even know what "kinder" was in the first place.
In history class the "underground railroad" was mentioned. Although I understood it was used to bring slaves north to freedom, I thought it was a hidden railroad which actually ran underground.
When I was in elementary school and looking ahead to junior high, I was nervous because I knew there would be gym class and I thought the boys and girls showered together afterwards.
I used to believe that college was mandatory and was what you went to after high school. My mom and dad always said "After you finish college..." and stuff like that so I assumed you had to go. When I got to middle school and they asked us if we were college bound, I thought it was a test to see if you were going to be a future criminal and ditch school. Then when adults said they didn't go to college I thought that meant they were on a run from the law because skipping school was illegal (or something to that affect)
I used to believe when teachers asked you to 'double-space' your essay, they literally mean to put two spaces between each word.
I used to get really frustrated that my word processor only double-spaced LINES and not WORDS and I would do it manually! Strangely, none of my teachers actually noticed the lines weren't double-spaced!! Talk about misleading!
When I first started school, I used to believe that my dad was waiting for me outside the door all day until it was time to come home - at least that was what he told me! It never seemed odd at playtime when we went outside and he wasn't there! He used to tell me that to stop me from crying when he took me there!
When I was 5 yeals old I used to think that high school was called high school because all the kids were so tall and high off the ground.
When we explained to our son that he would be starting school soon, he asked how long he had to stay there. We explained he would go to school until he was about 16. He started to cry - he didn't realise he would come home every afternoon- he thought he had to stay at the school until he was 16
when I was little, I remember hearing our teacher teaching us about fire safety. You know how everyone always say: STOP, DROP, and ROLL? we'll I thought you got to pick one. Good thing I always told myself if I was on fire, I would pick ROLL!
At school we had ring binder rulers, and me and my friends thought that it said ring blinder ruler. We spent hours putting rings in the holes of the ruler and trying to make ourselves go blind by looking through the ruler
When I was in seventh grade, I had to take a keyboarding class, but when they said "keyboarding," I thought they meant piano. I thought it was really weird when I got there and heard computers talking. It was a school for the blind, and computers have speech software. I still didn't realize it was a typing class until I was sitting at a computer. Woops.
You know those shirts you wear in school for P.E which say "physed"? For the longest time I misread it as saying "psyched" and wondered why they had the kids shirts that said that.
When I was younger I thought that only smart people could go to college. I fully expected all college students to be brilliant, well-dressed & have perfect hygiene. I was shocked to find students who ask stupid questions in class, don't know how to dress for the weather, and have greasy hair and smelled. That is when I learned that book smarts and common sense are not dependent upon each other.
When I was going from Preschool to Kindergarten I thought hat it was pronounced Kid-in-a-Garden. I thought that it was a place where little kids grow plants and such. Either that, or children were buried and had to wait for plants to grow out of them. I soon found out the first day that this was not true.

Letters Section Editor: Robert M. Golub, MD, Senior Editor.
To the Editor: Dr Beohar and colleagues1 studied the off-label use of drug-eluting stents for patients with coronary lesions. We note that the Clinical Outcomes Utilizing Revascularization and Aggressive Drug Evaluation (COURAGE) trial concluded that when percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was added to optimal medical therapy as an initial management strategy in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), it did not reduce the risk of death, myocardial infarction, or other major cardiovascular events.2 It would be helpful to know what proportion of the 6993 patients in the registry studied by Beohar et al1 had stable CAD because the choices regarding PCI use in stable CAD are individualized among the cardiologists. Finally, given the decreased effectiveness with off-label use, we would like to know if statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and β-blockers were frequently and similarly used in the off-label and standard use groups.

Rating of
"Brazil" by Yojimbo
Yojimbo - wrote on 04/15/12
Terry Gilliam's bizarre and unique vision of an unspecified time in the 20th century stars Johnathon Pryce as a mid level bureaucrat haunted by dreams of a beautiful woman. When an administrative error results in the arrest and death of an innocent man, he actually meets her and takes on the fascistic establishment (in which bureaucracy has literally gone mad) to "save" her from them. This is surely the film that Terry Gilliam was born to make; it's so uniquely "his" that no-one else could possibly have made it. In fact it's so out of the box that the studio only released it under extreme duress. The production design of retro-styled technology combined with war-time era fashions and propaganda is fantastic and is a clear influence on Dark City which itself is often cited as the template for The Matrix. Many of the images seen here are hilarious and bizarre in an extremely similar way to Gilliam's own animations in the Monty Python TV series, and it visually references everything from Battleship Potemkin to The Empire Strikes Back. The criticism that it's a little self-indulgent and a case of style over substance can be leveled at it, but it's style is brilliant and it's perfectly intertwined with social satire and a lot of very funny Pythonesque humour. Add a fantastic supporting cast including Ian Holm, Ian Richardson, Jim Broadbent, Bob Hoskins and Robert DeNiro as a guerilla heating engineer and you have a film like no other.
