Kim Tucker, Kairi Pottery, Australia
Tenmoku vase stamped Kairi Pottery and signed Kim.
.From Australian Pottery at Bemboka:
Kim Tucker studied at the University of California and operated an earthenware pottery in Oregon for two years before migrating to Queensland in 1973 and setting up a studio in Port Douglas. In 1975, he moved to the Atherton Tablelands where he established the Kairi Pottery in a large galvanised iron shed built by the army in World War II. It grew to have a staff of seven including three fulltime throwers making mainly production ware using shino-type glazes and slips on raw salt-glaze organic forms. After Tucker left the pottery in 1985, it continued to operate with several different owners until 1998. Tucker's entry in the 1977 directory has no recorded mark but we know from works with the Kairi Pottery impressed stamp that he used an incised 'Kim'. Examples have also been found with an incised 'RH' and 'JS', still mysteries."
Just my personal opinion, take it or leave it.

Market Watch: Kain and The Eternal
There's something about L.A.–based labels that is just fantastic. Don't scoff; I know L.A. Fashion Week isn't ever going to happen like New York's, but there is a slew of labels that makes chic, flattering, relaxed clothes with killer prices.
Case in point: Kain. Designed by sisters Amanda and Melanie Kain, the label has been around since 2008 and started as a T-shirt concept. But that's evolved into knits, dresses and separates. For Spring 2012, the brand's offering slouchy tops, striped sweaters, and gorgeous tanks. Essentially everything you want to wear come warm weather. And you don't have to live in L.A. to get it: Net-a-Porter carries the line and prices hover at the $150 and less mark. Genius!
Another brand in the wow, isn't L.A. chic? category is The Eternal. Leather jackets reminiscent (but not too much) of Rick Owens? Sign me up please! The jackets are by far the best pieces of the bunch, and there's something about a green leather vest that sends thrills down my spine. OK, New York, your move.

Gettin Outta Dodge!!!
Okay, that's not the name of these paintings!! But I am gettin outta dodge (or Spring) today. I am leaving for Merry Ole England and won't be home until October 17 and so won't be posting most likely (unless I can find a friendly internet cafe) until October 20th or so. Please stay tuned to see some of the work that I do in the Cotswolds (where Beatrix Potter lived and where Thomas Kinkade loved to paint), the Lake District, and Scotland. I plan to drink one bottle of Scotland brew. Not a lot, just one. See you all soon. Blessings! Judy

text: Hi, I have a problem with my rx 480 graphics card, what happens is that it turns off when I'm playing but only in some games. In league of legends I turn off at 20 minutes and battlefield 1 does not turn off. But when I update the controllers in battlefield 1 I lower the fps to 30 and when I reset factory values, I get 90 fps. Question when I start playing another game like in the case of lol or Cs-go I get a "Default Radeon WattMan settings have been restored due to unexpected system failure" error. I would like to know how to solve it. Thank you

A stronghold in times of trouble
by Mindy Kiker
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9
When I face trouble, conflict, or chaos I look around for a safe place to hide, an escape. God is always there as a refuge or place of retreat, but unfortunately I've made a few hiding places of my own. These dwellings certainly are "strongholds" but only in the worst sense of the word.
One of my favorite strongholds is blame-shifting. This response to conflict helps me make trouble someone else's fault. I frame all interactions into a win-lose paradigm and life becomes adversarial.
I can hear the voice of the accuser and it sounds an awful lot like . . . me! You don't want to know me when I've been hurt and compensate by throwing myself into striving mode with a long to-do list and a tight time schedule. I inevitably start to feel the strain, but instead of dealing with my own heart before the Lord, I like to play the blame game:
It's the kids' problem — they're so disobedient. Why did I have so many children?
It's my husband's problem — he's not at all helpful. Why didn't I stay single?
It's my many obligations — why didn't I say "No!?" What was I thinking?
You know the routine. Hunt for the scapegoat. Search for the one to blame. Point the finger at the circumstances. Anything but looking into my own heart. Anything to drown out the voice of my conscience which reminds me of a truth that I know well, "The only one you can force to kneel in front of the cross is yourself. You can't drag anyone else there." But I want someone else to repent. Not me!
Unfortunately, when I'm in self-justification mode, offended-at-the-world mode, I'm not ready to admit that I'm the one who needs to be at the cross with repentant heart (Colossians 3:13). Instead, I take one more dangerous step of blame-shifting — I unconsciously tap into places of unforgiveness and add to the offense that I harbor against my close family and friends.
These ought-to's gather stealthily, silently until I am shocked by how easily I respond with angry words or sullen silence. I shield my eyes from Hebrews 12:15, "See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up and causes you trouble, or many of you will become defiled."
I may as well just state the obvious: harboring these offenses in our hearts is not going to build the kind of relationship we desire. Unforgiveness wrecks intimacy.
CS Lewis cuts to the chase:
"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."
Throughout our lives, keeping our hearts free of offense will relieve us of much self-inflicted trouble. When God is our refuge, we have a chance to sow blessing into the well-being and emotional health of our family and friends.
I pray that you find the way of humility and forgiveness, releasing God's love to the precious people in your life. May God be the only stronghold you run to when conflict or chaos descend. Protection and comfort can be yours even during times of trouble when you choose to hide yourself in God:
"Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51:12

I don't need to tell you that this was an extraordinarily bad year, in a terrible decade, in what so far has been a shit century. You already know. The planet is deteriorating. Inequality is staggering. Nazis are everywhere. Donald Trump is the president.
A recent piece on the website Splinter predicted that, as bad as this year was, 2018 will be way worse. "I'm not just saying that some very bad things will happen, as they always do," Hamilton Nolan wrote. "I'm saying that it's going to be actually and measurably bad and our economy is gonna get fucked up again because some crazy shit is gonna happen that freaks everybody out. This will be the year when we don't just bounce back."
Rationally, there's no real reason to disagree with this sentiment. But there are reasons to have at least a little bit of hope that there is a backlash coming in response to all the ridiculousness we've been through: not towards just Trump and Trumpism, but also the oppressive systems that helped put him in office in the first place.
The first thing to be hopeful about is the rise of a leftist opposition in the United States. We have never really had one before, and now we do, and excitement about socialist politics is at a level not seen since the time of union leader Eugene Debs in the late 1800s. Membership in the Democratic Socialists of America grew from around 6,500 in May 2016 to more than 30,000. Despite not being a registered political party in any state, a slew of DSA members were elected to local positions around the country this year. Wins in local races for leftists happened all over the country, in red states like Mississippi as well blue states like Massachusetts.
There is so much enthusiasm for socialist politics.
This is how building a real opposition starts: not at the top with a presidential candidate like Bernie Sanders (although he certainly did help get the message out), but by building a base at the local level and normalizing socialism in people's conception of government.
The second reason to be hopeful: More women are running for office than ever before. EMILY's List, a PAC supporting pro-choice Democratic women, told The New York Times earlier this month that around 22,000 women contacted them about running for office this year, compared to 1,000 in the run-up to the 2016 election. In the Virginia House of Delegates races in November, Democrats picked up at least 14 seats; 11 of those victories were by women.
More women are running for office than ever before.
This isn't to say that women haven't always engaged with politics, but historically, women have shied away from running for office for reasons that political scientists have tried to explain in the past, including biases against female candidates and a lack of confidence that they can actually do the job, which is something usually afforded to male candidates. It appears that the last year has changed that. It's not out of the question that this isn't just a reaction to Trump's terrible policies for working-class women, but rather the fact that someone who's been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual harassment occupies the Oval Office.
Finally, and maybe most importantly — this year was one of protest and political action that did not prioritize politicians or elections at all. The day after Trump's inauguration, 500,000 people flooded Washington, D.C. for the Women's March, and it was estimated that more than four million people across the country demonstrated in their own marches. A week later, cab drivers in New York City called a massive strike, refusing to pick up passengers at JFK in a one-hour work stoppage to protest Trump's dramatic refugee ban. When Uber lowered prices in order to take over the market, the ride-sharing app lost thousands of customers, who deleted the app in disgust. When Trump announced in September that he would rescind the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program for undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children, protests and rallies erupted across the country. We saw Confederate statues toppled in the South. NFL players, taking a cue from Colin Kaepernick's protests in 2016, brought the reality of police brutality to a national audience.
This year was one of protest and political action.
When the unified Republican government went about the undertaking of dismantling Obamacare — the party's biggest priority since 2011 — people from around the country flooded their representatives' town halls and phone lines to demand they stand down. Protesters from organizations like the disability rights group ADAPT staged sit-ins and sacrificed themselves to arrest to show the country how dangerous the bill was for marginalized people. The result of the pressure put on the few ostensibly "moderate" Republicans in the Senate was that Obamacare repeal was killed multiple times.
This doesn't mean that the Republicans are finished; for one, they're barreling towards a tax vote that will both greatly accelerate inequality and, as The International Business Times reported this week, make the Republicans who are going to vote for it much richer. But we're reaching a point where Congressional Republicans are becoming scared to face their constitutents; perhaps a recognition that things are fucked up beyond belief is the first step towards acknowledgement that they need to change.
My hope is that all of these factors eventually result in working class people joining together in solidarity to make a more fair society. Historically, we haven't had a great track record on this. But making a better world is a process. It starts in your personal relationships, your workplaces, your communities, your school boards, your town councils, your state legislatures, and so on and so forth. As bad as this incredibly shitty year was, I hope that it spurred a collective realization that we can't rely on politicians to save us. All we have is ourselves, and each other.

Weimer K. Hicks Student Center
Grateful for K Day is a gratitude event educating students about the important role philanthropy plays in sustaining Kalamazoo College while also inspiring them to express their appreciation for alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who generously support the College each year.

How Can I Celebrate?
Visit the Hicks Center on 7th Week Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to write a thank-you note or two to our gracious donors. After you've written your notes, grab a cookie and coffee with our appreciation. This is your opportunity to let our donors know how much you appreciate their philanthropy and your K student experience.
To help celebrate Grateful for K Day or any day throughout the year, donors are encourage to share why they are grateful for Kalamazoo College and/or why they give to K. Submit your gratitude stories here. If you're in the neighborhood on October 30, please stop by the Hicks Center to soak up the appreciation and join us for coffee and cookies.
Donors Share Why They're Grateful for K
Kalamazoo College alumni share their thoughts on how the generosity of K donors supported their educations and why they give back today:
″My experience at Kalamazoo College was life-changing. I learned so much in the classroom and so much from being an active member of the K community."
Alexis Fiebernitz ′16
″I give because I want to do my part in ensuring that future generations of Kalamazoo College students have the same experience and opportunities I had. K faculty respected and embraced my quirks while challenging me intellectually. K staff gave me the chance to stretch my wings and build my skills. K students became my closest friends, supporting me through thick and thin and making me laugh for the past eighteen years."
Carol Flanigan ′04
″Study abroad has been by far my most transformative K experience. It taught me self-reliance, self-worth and enabled me to put to use the skills I've gained at K."
Emily Finch ′17
″I give because the way K practices liberal arts learning is more likely than other educational options to create citizens who ask questions and who question any answers that include violence and injustice.″
Jim VanSweden ′73

7 Best Call Center Scheduling Software Solutions in 2020
There is no doubt that building a loyal customer base at your business cannot be done without a foundation of engaged, sincere and motivated customer service representatives.
Just consider the following:
12 – that's the number required for positive experiences to compensate just for one negative experience.
$2.3K – that's the annual amount a disengaged employee costs a business, in terms of lost revenue.
26% – that's the number of call center professions who believe that morale directly affects the customer experience.
It's numbers like this that show just why scheduling call center employees can't afford any mistakes. One of the biggest challenges facing call center scheduling is ensuring that enough employees have been scheduled for a shift. When too many employees are scheduled during down hours but too few are scheduled during high call volumes, you are only bleeding cash and are definitely not satisfying all customers. You need a call center scheduling app that issues detailed real-time reports so you can create an optimal and efficient schedule week after week.
What to look for in a call center scheduling app:
Easy to use
The whole purpose of a call center scheduling software is to make your life and your employee's lives so much easier, so don't choose a solution that's so complicated no one uses it. All you're doing with a complicated solution is annoying employees and burning through cash for no reason whatsoever.
Access from anywhere
When you have employees scattered across the globe, you need a schedule that's efficient and easy to access. Chances are that every one of your employees has a smartphone so they have full visibility and access to their work schedule 24-7. That level of instant access to their schedule means they can create a healthy work-life balance, plus it's that much easier to catch mistakes or take on open shifts. This degree of satisfaction helps to lower turnover and boosts employee morale.
Boost communication
When your workplace suffers from a lot of miscommunication, or even a lack thereof, you can experience high turnover, poor customer service, low engagement levels and more.
In a recent Forbes report, we learned that two of the top five reasons employees are unhappy at work is because of serious communication issues. Therefore, choose a call center scheduling software with built-in communication so everyone can stay on the same page and sharing updates on scheduling matters only requires the push of a button.
Collaboration is easier
Employees can set their own availability and manage shift swapping with the right call center scheduling software. This level of collaborative scheduling ensures all shifts are fully staffed and makes it easier to approve time off requests. Plus, managers free up around 80% of their time when they share scheduling responsibilities with their employees.
Tax and labor compliant
Most call center scheduling apps comply with state and local labor laws including overtime and sick leave. Receive alerts as soon as an employee hits overtime so you can take care of the situation, sometimes it's as simple as someone forgetting to clock out.
Shift management
Via a calendar view, you can immediately see the status of an employee's shift. For example, did they reject or approve the shift? Or maybe they're running late? Have they clocked in and are working to complete the shift? Note that not all call centre rostering software have this feature so check to see if it's an option.
Shift attachments
When needed, employees should be able to easily add notes, free text, pictures, attachments, videos, signatures and more.
Now, there are plenty of benefits of using call centre rostering software so what are the best solutions in the market? That's what we answer below! Below you will find a list of the top seven call center scheduling apps, we explain the features available and pricing so you can make an informed decision.

When we first visited Maydena Bike Park, it was pretty hectic. Has it mellowed, or expanded?
In late 2017 we were invited down to get a taste of the brown loam at Australia's latest mountain bike creation - Maydena Bike Park. The vision of Simon French of Dirt Art, Maydena was aiming for the stars. With over 800m of vertical drop to play with on some pretty steep slopes, we found that Maydena delivered hard gravity riding and committing lines. Was it for everyone? No, not really. But it was unique for Australia, and the scope for offering a lot more was clear.
We've just spent a couple of days at Maydena Bike Park, and the plethora of trails that make a web down the forested slopes are a testament to the updates to the trails at the mountain bike park.
But it's not just about trails, the bike park has food, a liquor licence, bike wash, Canyon hire bikes and a full workshop. The town has some catching up to do, but there are a number of houses converted for AirBnB accommodation to suit mountain bikers, plus there's a campground down the road (Left of Field Caravan Park) near the pub to suit those with a campervan or caravan - or a tent.
And the big difference is all the extra trails that have been built. With lots more green runs and blue runs, plus more pro lines as well, the variety at Maydena Bike Park has really expanded. There's a climbing trail if you want to climb all the way to midline under your own steam (or that of an eMTB) and that gives you access to a whole lot of terrain.
But Maydena Bike Park is still on a big hill in Southern Tasmania. It's raw. It's wild. It's steep. The green trails here aren't a flat, groomed trail around a lake. Their a green gravity run, and a great way to start progressing your riding.
Maydena is not like you're local mountain bike park. And I think that's awesome. We'll have a full feature in a coming issue.

CAMBRIDGE City Council is holding a consultation on proposals to simplify its Council Tax Reduction Scheme following the introduction of Universal Credit.
The scheme provides a reduction on Council Tax bills to people who are on a low income and on Universal Credit. It does not affect pensioners claiming Council Tax Reduction or people not on Universal Credit.
People working and claiming Universal Credit, the new national welfare benefit which was introduced in Cambridge last October, have their award recalculated every month. This means the council currently has no option but to recalculate Council Tax Reduction payments monthly as well.
This will increasingly lead to confusion among customers about their Council Tax instalments, making it more difficult for people to plan their finances, and for the council to ensure a good service in the face of increased costs.
Under the new proposals for the Council Tax Reduction Scheme, people working and claiming Universal Credit would be allocated one of a number of different bands, based on their income, which will determine how much Council Tax they will have to pay. The amount of reduction in their Council Tax would not change as long as their earnings remained in that band.
It is anticipated that these changes would be easier to understand, would make it easier to plan household finances, would reduce the need for people to contact the council and would minimise the council's administration costs.
The consultation started earlier this month and will continue until September. Among those whose opinions are being sought are current working age Council Tax Reduction recipients, other Council Tax payers and other partner organisations including Citizens Advice.
Cllr Richard Robertson, Executive Councillor for Finance and Resources, said: "We are committed to helping with the cost of living for people in Cambridge on low incomes by reducing their Council Tax payments. After the national Universal Credit was introduced it soon became evident that our existing scheme would not integrate with it easily.
"That is why we have made these proposals to give recipients of Council Tax Reduction more stability in planning their finances, and to ensure the council's costs are not adversely affected as more people move over to Universal Credit."
Anyone wishing to comment on the proposals can email firstname.lastname@example.com or look at the consultation at www.cambridge.gov.uk/consultations
Printed copies of the consultation documents are available from the Customer Service Centre at Mandela House or by phoning 01223 457000.

Murder. Hunger. Cancer. Hatred. Addiction. Heartbreak. Disease. Abandonment. Abuse.
Something's not right. Something's not right when little children battle cancer. Something's not right when women are forced to sell their own bodies in the hopes that their family might have something to eat. Something's not right when children are left to die by the parents that were supposed to love them. Something's not right when we use others and step on them in order to make it to the top. Something's not right when a child lives in fear of the next beating. Something's not right when people are dying in poverty and disease while Americans battle obesity and spend frivolously.
Something's not right, and it makes me angry. It makes me angry at myself, and at the world. And while most of the world wants to blame God, or use these things to defend their view that He does not exist… I cannot blame God. I will not blame God. Why? Because I know that He's angry, too. I know that He's heartbroken. I know that He laments over the fallen state of our world.
He created us to live in Eden. He created us to live in His presence. He created us to live peacefully and joyfully in communion with Him. That is the place we long for. That is where He longs for us to be. So when we feel as though something's not quite right… it isn't.
I don't have all of the answers, but here's what I know: this world is broken, and that matters to God. Please believe that. And there is coming a day when He will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no death, no crying, no pain. Not only will we bid farewell to the ills of this world, but we'll live without memory of them. This is the world and the life God so desires for us. And it is only found in Jesus.
He gives us hope for the future through His promises. But He also gives us hope, joy, and life now. It's not always neat and tidy, but it is a gift. He is a gift.
Hear Him when He says, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Come to Him. Cling to Him. Rest in Him.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new " And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

SAXLUND International
The SAXLUND International chain conveyor is a continous operating machine within a bolted rectangular cross-section casing. It may be arranged horizontally or inclined with bends to suit customer requirements. Our chain conveyors are renowned for their long service life, quiet operation and gentle handling of the bulk solid material.The bulk material is fed in at the inlet/bottom end where the chain tensioning station is also fitted. The conveying chain runs on a special wear resistant floor and conveys the material through the upper or lower section to the discharge opening where it is discharged to a silo inlet or to a following conveyor. The drive station is also installed at this end. The construction type of the conveyor chain is chosen and adapted according to the specific bulk material to be transported. All chain links are manufactured from high grade drop forged steel with welded flights to suit the application.The conveying chain is driven by a chain wheel on a shaft with bearings which in turn is driven by a gear motor with roller chain drive. After material has been discharged, the empty chain returns over the guide rails back to the inlet/tensioning station. The continuous chain passes around the tail drum and back into the conveying mode. The tail drum is located in a spring loaded sliding arrangement with roller bearings. The springs are fitted on both sides and can be pre-tensioned by means of theaded rods. A rotation sensor is also fitted at the tail end.

This week has been a jumble of degree work, domestic disasters and health issues but I did manage to escape yesterday for a field trip with some of the AQUA-8 girls. The topic we have chosen to work towards for our first exhibition is Water, Water (seemed appropriate considering our name) so we decided to visit the Rainham Marshes RSPB reserve (an SSSI) to gather some inspiration.Unfortunately we got rather more water than we wanted as it poured down but I did manage to get some quite good photos and am looking forward to developing some of these ideas.
When I got back and looked at the photos I realised that many looked as if we were way out in the wild- in fact the eurostar thunders past on one side along with all the trains into London, the Thames is just over the other side and you see the tops of ships passing by above the embankment and on the remaining sides it is surrounded by housing, containers and rubbish tips so the RSPB site is a little gem amidst it all.
The degree is trundling along. I'm more into the practical side now thank goodness but will have to return to some contextual work next week if I am going to be ready in time for getting the work assessed.
My mother-in- law's health continues to deteriorate rapidly (Dementia and physical) and I am quite concerned about my Father -in-law with all the stress but now the NHS wheels are slowly grinding into motion so I am hoping the appointment with the consultant tomorrow will help.
Poor little Teddy picked up a nasty bug last week and looked very sorry for himself (as did my carpet) and even sorrier after a trip to the vet meant 2 injections and a 'light,bland diet for a week'. Fortunately he now seems on the mend.
On the domestic front -last weeks joys include the Internet breaking down (now thankfully fixed) , the lights blowing up in our dark kitchen (still unfixed so meals are a bit hit and miss by the light of a low lamp) and the Fridge & Freezer aren just hanging on by a thread but because the seal isn't that good now the cat(s) have learnt how to open it with their paws which is annoying and not exactly hygienic. Oh well you have to laugh really - its either that or sit gibbering in the corner, and this weekend I escape again to the ERTF conference on textile conservation- perhaps they could conserve me a bit while I'm there!

DC's next big superhero movie hits theaters December 21, but there's a way you might see it several days early. The only catch is that to do so you have to be a member of Amazon Prime. The online retailer is reportedly going to be offering a members-only sneak peek of the film on December 15.
Attending the December 15th screening won't make you one of the first to see Aquaman as the film is actually being released in a number of territories prior to its official December 21 release stateside, but it will almost certainly make you one of the first in North America to see the next installment of DC's cinematic universe.
No official announcement of the screening has come from Amazon, and tickets aren't available yet, so you'll need to keep your eyes open, as Rerelease News who announced the screening says tickets are likely to go on sale soon.
Interestingly, doing a quick Google search myself brings up a listing for tickets to Aquaman at a couple local theaters for December 15, though when I click through to the purchasing site, the ability to purchase tickets for that date isn't there yet. It would seem that the infrastructure for this screening is being put in place but isn't quite ready yet. Still, it would appear to confirm that the screening is happening and that tickets will likely be hitting soon.
Some of those screenings reportedly sold out so if you are interested in seeing Aquaman early you may want to jump on tickets once they're available. While the screening may be limited to Amazon Prime members, there's no shortage of those in the world, so there may be competition for tickets once they hit.
I attended the Amazon Prime screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle last December and the experience was great. Tickets cost no more than they normally would for the film, the screening was in a theater that had reserved seating, so there was no need to get there super early to make sure you got a good seat in case the theater was full. It was as pleasant a theater-going experience as I've had. The fact that the film was surprisingly entertaining didn't hurt. If the Amazon Prime Aquaman screening follows suit in every way, that won't be a bad thing.
Getting to see the next big comic book superhero movie nearly a week before the rest of the country would be great. It will just be a question of whether or not tickets go super fast and whether everybody who wants one will be able to get one.

What is the point of all this if not to be here now?
How can I remember sooner when lost?
Remember more often?
Portals into knowing slip away
separation, loneliness, depression, anxiety
sometimes accompany the loss
Running doing running doing
I want to remain in being
in peace
in oneness
I want to trust, completely
to learn how to dance gracefully with fear
To love with abandon
this moment
right now

In our recent visit to Europe, we discovered a world of beauty, history and fascination. On one side there were castles filled with art dating back to early centuries and showed the lavish spoiled lives of the royalty. On the other side, we saw natural sights which left us gaping for words for their sheer beauty and craftsmanship of its Creator! Every street corner had a story to tell and something to acclaim for itself. But like everything else in life, I know that, with time, all this memoirs of our journey will fade away. But there is one thing we will not forget! Continue reading Let Love Bells Ring!

HE is in Control!
Filled with anxiety and intrigued for any update, my fingers reach to refresh the news app on my phone every few minutes. This has been one of the biggest events to hit the world since the 911 attacks in the US. The shocking and mysterious disappearance of the Malaysian airline MH370 aircraft and the fate of 239 passengers and crew on board, has gripped many eyes and ears to the media over the last week. The best technology and resources are being used by several nations around the world to find the whereabouts of the aircraft and what could have caused it. Continue reading HE is in Control!
The Sound of your voice
Every morning as I leave for work, I make it a point to kiss my wife and son bye without fail. Occasionally, my 2 year old wakes up and says 'daddy bye…love you' and hugs me, even in sleep mode. Hearing those words always brings a smile to my face. On most days, when I return from the office, I hear his excited voice as he screams 'daddy' and runs to me. And then, there are days when he simply ignores my arrival because he is too busy or engrossed in something else.
This made me realize Continue reading The Sound of your voice
Where is God?
The day started like any other, but took a huge dip when I watched the news about the shooting incident in Connecticut. To calm myself, I started listening to a familiar worship song "Hallelujah Hosanna". It reminded me of the scene when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and how He was welcomed by the people with rejoicing and shouting 'Hosanna to the Son of David'. For a moment, I imagined myself as one among the crowd and I was elated by the sight of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, being welcomed as a King. For a moment … I forget about myself!
It Wasn't Me!!!
The title of this article is a very famous song by a reggae artist Shaggy.
Listening to this song reminded me of a time in my childhood when my little sister and my elder brother used to fight. My sister would end up crying and my parents would come running and ask her what happened. Innocently or craftily (I don't know to this day), she would point in my direction or call out my name. The repercussion for me was quite severe. This article is not a pay back, but just a reminder of how easy it is to blame someone else for whatever happens.
Very often our life takes unexpected turns and we end up in places we shouldn't be or in the middle Continue reading It Wasn't Me!!!
What is your code?
Have you ever woken up some morning and wondered who you really are or what is the purpose of your life? I have! It is surprising how God can answer your million dollar questions through the smallest things.
I was at the billing counter of a grocery shop when I noticed the cashier scan my items using the barcode on each product. This of course made the cashier's job much easier as opposed to punching in numbers as in the good old days. All he had to do was put the item under a scanner and all the details would appear on the screen. My thoughts wandered around the bar code system. Continue reading What is your code?

IT Modernization Bill, watchOS3, and "Safety Selfies"
The House Passes IT Modernization Bill
This past Thursday, the House passed The Modernizing Government Technology Act, which is a combination of the Maryland Democratic House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer's IT Modernization Act and Texas Republican Will Hurd's MOVE IT Act.
The bill is intended to provide funds (housed in the Treasury Department) to agencies in an effort to help them modernize their legacy systems and minimize cybersecurity risks. "The recently issued OPM report demonstrates a security risk of such legacy IT and recommends Congress consider new tools to incentivize the transition from legacy to modernized IT solutions across the federal government," Hurd says.
As cybersecurity continues to be a growing concern for the American people, we can expect to see the issue addressed on a federal level. The bill is now being considered in the Senate.

Legendary Quebec traditional musicians Lisa Ornstein, Normand Miron, and André Marchand, appearing together as Le Bruit Court dans la Ville (The Buzz Around Town), come to Harrisburg for a Susquehanna Folk Music Society concert on Friday, March 27, 2015, at the Fort Hunter Centennial Barn, 5300 N. Front Street, Harrisburg. The 7:30 p.m. concert will be preceded by a free workshop on Quebec music at 5:30 and a 6 p.m. potluck dinner.
Ornstein and Marchand first met as bandmates in La Bottine Souriante, the iconoc trad super group that kickstarted Quebec's folk music revival. Miron is a singer and button accordionist who grew up surrounded by family musicians in Lanaudière, the epicenter of Quebec's folk music scene. As a trio, Le Bruit Court dans la Ville produces music that is at once deeply rooted, innovative, nuanced, and spontaneous.
Concert tickets are $20 General Admission, $16 for SFMS members, and $10 for students ages 3-22. Advance tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com or toll-free (800) 838-3006.
Join us for a free potluck supper before the concert. Bring a covered dish to share. Drinks and place settings will be provided. For more information, visit the Susquehanna Folk Music Society website at http://www.sfmsfolk.org
Because these three legendary musicians were so important in the revival of traditional music and dance in Quebec some 40 years ago, I wanted to speak to the group's fiddler LISA ORNSTEIN (who is a folklorist) about changes in Quebec's cultural climate and also how she and her band mates were able to plant some of the seeds that have allowed Quebeoise music and dance to grow in popularity and flourish.
FOLKMAMA: Can you tell me some things about the members in your trio? I know that all three of you are considered legendary in Quebec's trad music scene.
LISA: Well we'll begin first with André Marchand. He's from Jolliet, he's lived here all his life. His father played violin but it was classical violin, a hobbyist. He got his start playing guitar in the early 1960s. He was listening to Bob Dylan because at that time there wasn't really a "Quebecoise" tradition of guitar playing. He kind of invented an approach to backing up this music with the kind of guitar playing that you hear with the guitar tuned in standard tuning.
FOLKMAMA: I understand during the time when Andre was growing up that it was difficult to find traditional Quebecoise music because the French Canadian culture had been repressed. What were the politics in Quebec like at the time?
LISA: The 1960s in Quebec began what we call the Quiet Revolution. The Prime Minister who had been quite conservative died, and a liberal, Jean Lesage took his place and he had a completely different vision. The saying during that time was "Masters in Our own Country" because the Quebecoise since 1759 had really been second citizens here. All the administrators and the owners of industry in the province were Anglo-Canadians who had come from British forefathers. The Quebecoise were basically told that they were going to be water carriers.
So Jean Lesage came in and one of the first things that he did was to nationalize electricity. Which was huge in this province—there is hydro-electric power to sell to all of North America. That gave the government the capacity to create all kinds of social services, vocational training, and higher education opportunities. So by the 1970s there was a whole generation of Quebecoise who were beginning to be well educated.
FOLKMAMA: How did Quebecoise trad music and dance play a role in the Quiet Revolution?
LISA: The music got pulled into the equation very much in the same way that music got pulled in with the Civil Rights Movement. The folk and traditional music often had an ideological and political content –especially by some of the singer/ songwriters who became involved in the Quebec Sovereignty Movement. It was a time of Quebecoise pride when the Quebecoise were proud to be Quebecoise.
FOLKMAMA: Did Quebecoise Trad music start to become more widespread?
LISA: In Montreal a group of young university graduates organized a folk festival where they brought in elders. Nothing like this had ever happened– it changed the lives of a whole generation of young musicians who for the first time could hear and learn from the older generation of musicians. So you have this coming together of very traditional musicians who are being brought onto the stage, very much like the Newport Folk Festival, and you have these young urban Quebecoise who are just thirsty for music that looks and sounds like them.
FOLKMAMA: I know that the group La Bottine Souriante was one of most important groups to form during this era.
LISA: Yes, La Bottine Souriante formed as a direct result of this festival. The group was made up of all young musicians, including André Marchand who was an original member and now of course plays in Le Bruit Court dans la Ville. The group was so influential because it not only helped to increase the popularity of Quebecoise music in Quebec, but also brought it to France, the United States and around the world.
FOLKMAMA: So, I know that you are an American fiddler verse in both old-time and Quebecoise fiddling. I understand that you also played in La Bottine Souriante. How did that come about?
LISA: I had been playing fiddle from the time I was 13 or 14. I grew up in a musical family; my mother was a harpsichordist who played Renaissance music. My idea of what music was as a very small child was small ensembles who were improvising on dance melodies. I think that's why I was attracted to traditional music rather than classical music; it was the social aspect of it and the way that music was made in these small groups. I appreciate orchestral music but I've always be interested in how much music can be made with the smallest, the most frugal means. And I think that traditional music is all about that. It's about the frugality of the means with great creativity in the hands of exceptional artists with immense amount of virtuosity and depth of understanding.
Even though I really wanted to just play fiddle, my parents wanted me to go to college so I went to Oberlin. In my last year the college asked me if I was interested in the Watson Scholarship which would allow me to study something outside of the country. By then I was so interested in Quebecoise music because of a friendship I had with a Franco-American fiddler Louis Beaudoin.
So I got this grant to come to Quebec and I didn't know anybody. I went to Université Laval because I knew that they had a folklore archives, but the only Quebecoise musician I could find was a button accordion player names Albert who played on the streets for the tourists. So I played with him sometimes, and during the summer I went to this great summer festival and there he was on stage and he made me get up and play with him.
Afterwards we decided we'd go to this great bar that was right across from the stage that had an outdoor terrace and as we sat there I heard a tune that I thought I knew from my friend Louis Beaudoin, and then one of the members of the band who had heard me play approached me and he said, "Come join us." And it was La Bottine Souriante. I couldn't believe these young guys were there playing traditional music.
So we played together all night and then we lost track of each other but next night they invited me to play in their show in front of 20,000 people. Soon after they left for a tour in France, but on the way back some of the musicians couldn't return because of an airline strike, so I filled in for their fiddler at the band's next gig. Soon after they asked me to join the band. So I went to Jolliet and played in the band for about 8 years so.
FOLKMAMA: Was that what you were doing full time?
LISA: When I was in Quebec I worked for this traditional arts advocacy group and was really involved in promoting Quebecoise culture and heritage.
Although it's taken 30 years, Quebec just this past year passed its law recognizing intangible traditional arts. We were working on that dossier in the 1980s. We had a center where there were classes for young people who didn't come out of singing and playing families. These were young kids who loved the music and dance but didn't have other chances to learn it. At the time there was no money available in the Quebec government to fund this kind of program. It's changed now, although the law is in place and there is no budget to enact it. So our organization became more and more politically motivated because we realized that the traditional arts weren't getting the government support that it should have gotten.
FOLKMAMA: It doesn't seem like you are intimidated by working on the governmental level to promote traditional music.
LISA: I had worked at the Library of Congress. My mother in law was Bess Lomax Hawes. She created the National Endowment for the Arts Folk Arts program and was Curator of Folk Songs at the Library of Congress. She's Alan Lomax's sister.
So I had connections with Alan Jabbour at the Library of Congress and folks at the Smithsonian. We brought people from the Government of Quebec's Minister of Cultural Affairs to visit in Washington to show them that there can be a different vision. The United States government has acknowledged that not only is this worthy but it's necessary to support the celebration and transmission of traditional cultural heritage.
FOLKMAMA: So what your third member?
LISA: Normand Miron is from a small village just outside of Joliette. He's from a very traditional family of singers and instrumentalists. His uncle was an accordion player and his grandfather was apparently an extraordinary singer. The whole area around Jolliet is known in Quebec as being one of the strongholds of traditional singing and particularly especially song and response songs. Norman is the real stuff, he's straight out of the tradition. Normand Miron was the go-to guy for many of the songs that La Bottine Souriante was doing because his repertoire was so huge, although was never in the band.
FOLKMAMA: So I believe you have been playing with Andre and Norman informally for many years. Why have you chosen now to tour as a group?
LISA: My children are almost grown and Les Charbonniers de l'Enfer (the latest group that Andre and Norman performed in together) is on hiatus so the three of us just looked at each other and said, "This is our chance."
