About my work.
With my pictures I do not pretend to explain anything about me. There are self-portraits. I use my body as a support of my musings about society. I'm not interested individuals in particular. No one should believe so important to be the center of something. These attitudes can create certain kinds of monsters. My accounts not want to adjust to individuals but to society.
In my photos I try to avoid dramatic gestures and sentimentality that promote any kind of personal relationship with those who observe the images.
The central issue of my photographic series is the relationship established between individuals and institutions (family, education, political parties, religion …). Also pay attention to the contradiction that is created when we try to keep our individuality while we deal with our condition as social beings.
I consider photography a blunt tool, sometimes for just causes, some of the pleasant or unpleasant lie, and almost always as a provider of nostalgia.

Habakkuk 2:1-20 NIV
1I will stand at my watch
and station myself on the ramparts;
I will look to see What HE Will Say to me,
and what answer I am to give to this complaint.a
The LORD'S Answer
2Then The LORD Replied:
"Write down the revelation
and make it plain on tablets
so that a herald may run with it.
3 For the revelation awaits an appointed
time; it speaks of the end
time; it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay.
4"See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness —
5indeed, wine betrays him;
he is arrogant and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
and like death is never satisfied,
he gathers to himself all the nations
and takes captive all the peoples.
6"Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying,
" 'Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by extortion!
How long must this go on?'
7Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
Then you will become their prey.
8Because you have plundered many nations,
the peoples who are left will plunder you.
For you have shed human blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
9"Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain,
setting his nest on high
to escape the clutches of ruin!
10You have plotted the ruin of many peoples,
shaming your own house and forfeiting your life.
11The stones of the wall will cry out,
and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.
12"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed
and establishes a town by injustice!
13Has Not The LORD ALMIGHTY Determined
that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire,
that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
14For the earth will be filled with the Knowledge of The Glory of The LORD as the waters cover the sea.
15"Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors,
pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16You will be filled with shame instead of glory.
Now it is your turn! Drink and let your nakedness be exposed !
The cup from The LORD'S Right Hand Is Coming around to you,
and disgrace will cover your glory.
17The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
and your destruction of animals will terrify you.
For you have shed human blood;
you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18"Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman?
Or an image that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.
19Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!'
Or to lifeless stone, 'Wake up!'
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;
there is no breath in it."
20 The LORD is in HIS HOLY Temple;
let all the earth be silent before HIM.
Habakkuk 2
The general idea of prophecy which is presented in these passages is that of one who is stationed on an elevated post of observation who can look over a large region of country, and give timely warning of the approach of an enemy, and is that of a scene which is made to pass before the mind like a picture, or a landscape, where the mind contemplates a panoramic view of objects around it, or in the distance; where, as in a landscape, objects may appear to be grouped together, or lying near together, which may be in fact separated a considerable distance.
The prophets described those objects which were presented to their minds as they "appeared" to them, or as they seem to be drawn on the picture which was before them. They had, undoubtedly, an intelligent consciousness of what they were describing; they had a clear view of the vision, and described it as it appeared to them.
Let this idea be kept in mind, that the prophets saw in vision; that probably the mode in which they contemplated objects was somewhat in the manner of a landscape as it passes before the mind, and much light and beauty will be cast on many of the prophecies which now seem to be obscure.

What does it take to be a great teacher with good teacher personality traits? I always remember my favourite home economics teacher who taught from a wheelchair. Her best teacher friend died in a car accident and she was the driver, but she continued teaching. Her demeanour was always one of: creativity, reliability, empathy, agreeableness, timeliness, individuality, versatility, and enthusiasm, helping both students and teachers.
Mrs M was a very special person. Did I mention anything about academics or tests or scores? – No. Mrs M did the academics and the tests, they were important and woe betide you if you didn't do them but she showed individual care even as she corrected.
Teacher personality is key to students retention of those skills we so much want them to get. Do you have creative teacher personality? Let's use the acronym CREATIVE, to discuss the eight teacher personality traits I remembered in my best teacher.
Creativity is key to captivating a student and I don't mean art lessons. When I reflect on lessons with Mrs M, I remember a particular moment in the classroom that has stayed with me forever. It was home economics and a number of us girls were having problems sewing in a straight line. Now, I know this is not rocket science having taught sewing myself now but to a young high school kid, it was like a light switched on. Mrs M quietly showed us how to line up the edge of the material to a marker on the sewing machine and not to watch the needle but the line. Perfection – every time! That little instruction has stayed with me for years.
My best teacher, Mrs M met with a bad accident, where her best closest friend also a school teacher died in a car accident, in the car that Mrs M was driving at the time. It was very sad and left Mrs M in a wheelchair but Mrs M never gave up she exercised this teacher personality trait to its fullest. It's easy to be enthusiastic about teaching when things are going well but we occasionally have bad days. Mrs M had more than a bad day but she faced it even if one of us was being disagreeable, she was reliable. Mrs M exercised great patience with all of us as we made our mistakes. She could be relied on never to lose her temper with us.
A great teacher is sensitive to their students' needs. Mrs M spent time talking with us and getting to know each of us, students. When I was upset with my family breaking up Mrs M didn't push me to get my work done in class. She would make time for me to be able to come back at lunchtimes to complete the work as she knew I wasn't in any fit state at the time to complete it. I never really thought about how much time she was giving up for me at the time – students can be very unthankful but love conquers all.
Developing good teacher personality traits should not be difficult, especially this one. Perhaps if you were born with the opposite disposition, you might. Mrs M was a very agreeable person full of warmth and kindness even when stuck in a wheelchair after the death of her closest friend. It is known that the more agreeable someone is, the more likely they are to be trusting, helpful and compassionate. Students are drawn to teachers who have this personality trait. You might say you don't have it but you can choose to stop being disagreeable because of something that happened earlier in the day and change your mind not to be sulky. Just stop and think – 'Is that the way I would like someone to behave towards me?' No? – Then don't do it.
I lived and worked for fifteen years on a Pacific island where people do not live by the clock. If you're on time you're considered to be rather early, don't you know. In England where keeping to time is essential, Mrs M was always in class well before we had to be there. She never made the wheelchair an excuse for lateness and though it was never asked of us students to be on time, we just were. Perhaps it was because of her example. Mrs M always knew the right time to intervene and help you. She didn't just budge in and do everything for you. She'd let you make the mistakes and unpick them yourself, so that soon made you learn not to make those mistakes. The timeliness of her instructions was perfected to just when you needed them and there she'd be at your elbow. I wonder how much practice she had to put into that or if it just happened?
Mrs M had rules but she didn't berate you with them. The truth is there are ways to enforce rules without being bossy boots or sending shivers down a student's back. Yes, it's very important to establish rules but we must have the trust and respect of our students to gain respect so that students work with you, to have a structured and organised classroom that runs well. Mrs M made you feel special like you were the only student in the class taking her lesson. She made time to talk with you individually and explain or demonstrate instructions. I suppose I remember Mrs M because she cared for me.
Mrs M was a versatile teacher who had great, imagination and was always encouraging us to try new things. Mrs M was very versatile when it came to moving around the classroom. I see so many teachers sitting, sitting, sitting at their desk [the throne for some] but not Mrs M. She may have been restricted to a wheel-chair but that didn't prevent her from moving to all corners of the classroom.
Why should a student be excited about learning when their teacher is not excited about teaching? Think about it. Would you be excited to sit in the same seat in the same position in the same drab room doing the same drab worksheet after worksheet or textbook, every work day, every week, all year long? Be truthful. How many teachers complain at one-hour staff meetings or one-hour PDs where the speaker is droning on. No, You wouldn't last a week! But, many students are expected to silently accept this kind of behaviour from their teacher. Please don't let it be you. Bring out that enthusiasm even if you make some mistakes you can correct them tomorrow. Have a bit of fun! Bring in that teacher personality! To excite and inspire your students requires enthusiasm and a passion, in you. Let it become contagious.
You might like to read Kendra Cherry's 'Five Big Personality Traits' and compare them with the CREATIVE eight above. Did you answer yes to each CREATIVE personality trait? Do you have what it takes to be a great teacher? I believe good teacher personality traits are key if you want to make a difference in a student's life. What do you think?

Youth Cricket Thriving In Katy…
Katy Youth Cricket
It all started with coaching of the basics of cricket with four kids in November 2013, and less than a year later Katy Youth Cricket (KYC) – a non-profit 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization has grown to more than 50 kids, who are actively learning cricket through various coaching programs as well as playing competitive tournament cricket.
KYC's strong foundation was laid by Dhaval Mehta and Sudheer Kannantha, who both had a dream to provide a platform for children to continue the legacy of the gentleman's game.
Triggers Colts Cricket League (TCCL), the only youth league in the greater Houston area is amazed by the progress and the impact on the community, by the Katy organization. TCCL Director Surya Saladi said "KYC is a very well-organized and well managed youth cricket club in the greater Houston area, and sets an example for any youth sports organization."
In 2014, KYC's team "KYC Super Kings" proved their metal by winning the first ever Youth Tournament held in Houston. KYC youngsters won the runners-up trophy in the Smart Choice Cricket Cup Tournament, held along with Houston Cricket League (HCL) final last August.
The KYC Eagles (U-12) and KYC Falcons (U-10) teams secured berths in the finals of the 2014 TCCL Winter League, and won the runner-up trophies in their respective age groups. Apart from the successful tournaments, KYC also organized various coaching camps that included well known international cricketers like former Indian Women's Cricket player Rajeshwari Antani, and former West Indies all-rounder Ricardo Powell.
Speaking about its future plans, KYC's President Sudheer Kannantha said "We are focused on creating unique learning programs, a sound value system, and an environment for participants to develop into compassionate cricketers of tomorrow, and who are proud of the game, its heritage, culture, history, and are ready to play in the big leagues…"
KYC aims at building a strong foundation through various coaching programs and preparing the kids for the next level of challenge at US Central West Region and US National cricket championships. KYC has launched three different programs to encourage youth cricket and cater to its member skill set, through Leather Ball, Taped Ball, and Rookie programs. The goal of these coaching programs is for children to learn basic cricket skills in a structured but fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
The Leather Ball program is headed by Sushil Nadkarni, former USA national cricket team captain. Nadkarni is an Indian born American cricketer and a left-handed opening batsman and off-spin bowler. He has played for the United States national cricket team from 2006 until 2015. He retired from cricket in February this year, and now spends his time coaching cricket to Katy youth.
When asked about the secret behind its success, KYC's Vice President Dhaval Mehta was quick to say, "All these things could not have been achieved and sustained without the support of our parent volunteers, TCCL, HCL, and our community partners Neoage Services, Subhlaxmi Grocers, and Kurry Walah restaurant, their contributions and embracing of the KYC philosophy."

2019 will be an exciting tour season for the LPGA and one of it's top players Lizette Salas. Salas, who is from Azusa, California, was in New York City recently for a special partnership announcement involving the LPGA and Aon, a leading global professional services firm providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions.
The season-long Aon Risk Reward Challenge will highlight the world's best professional golfers as they tackle the most strategically challenging holes across both the LPGA and PGA TOUR. The player that tops the respective leaderboards will each receive a $1 million prize.
Salas became a professional in 2010 after a brilliant career at USC where she was Pac-10 Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010. She won her first championship on the LPGA tour in 2014.
Her story is a unique one and she credits her father Ramon for her amazing success. She joined host Doug Doyle at Foley's Pub and Restaurant in New York City for this edition of SportsJam.
"My dad landed a job as a mechanic at a public golf course in Azusa, California. I didn't grow up in a golf family. I was just lucky I guess. His friend was the head pro at the time. I ended up finding out later that my dad was doing side jobs for him just so I could get a lesson every Saturday. From that grew to playing for the club at junior golf tournaments and then I realizing I liked beating the boys. I was young and liked winning trophies, so my competitive juice got going, and won the state championship for the girls when I was a senior in high school. Some how I got a scholarship to USC, first person in my family to graduate from college, four-time All-American. None of this would have happened without my dad. He has been there every step of the way along with my mom who are both immigrants from Mexico. They worked tirelessly their entire lives so I pay my tribute to them because they are my backbone."
With pride and family being a big part of Lizette's makeup as a person and LPGA player, it's no surprise what she's most proud of on the golf course.
"I would say my biggest moment in golf in my career so far has been the (2017) Solheim Cup (over Europe), clinching the final point in Iowa for Team USA. Having my parents there in the Red, White and Blue and being wrapped in the American Flag, that has been my proudest moment because it takes two years to make that team and 2016 was probably my roughest year out there and to really grind it and fight for that spot was really an emotional moment for me and my family and my team."
Salas is excited about the Aon Risk Reward Challenge and it's equal prize money for men and women golfers. Salas admits she's not one of the longer hitters on the LPGA tour and plans to work more on the mental part of her game this season.
"I'm striving to get more "W's" but it's all a process and just trying to enjoy my time out here and I'll definitely get more."
Andy Weitz and LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan joined Salas at Foley's for the luncheon media event announcing the Aon Risk Reward Challenge.
Weitz says he is excited to see how players develop strategies that help them understand the risk and realize the reward on each of Aon Risk Reward Challenge holes.
"Whether on the tee or reaching the green, golfers are constantly looking for insights that give them an edge over the competition. We see clear parallels in how Aon advises clients, as our solutions are rooted in data and analytics that help them volatility and maximize performance."
Mike Whan joined the LPGA at the end of 2009 and stressed how much the LPGA Tour has grown during his tenure.
"2019 (we're) introducing a season-long risk-reward hole that someone going to win a million dollars. We'll also introduce the largest winner's check in women's golf history. Someone is going to win $1.5 million when they win the CME Group Tour Championship. And to be playing 34 times for over 70-million dollars. When we got started back in 2010, we had 200 hours and 72 percent of it was tape-delayed. This next year we'll have just about 500 hours of TV and over 90 percent of it live."
Whan says one of the best stories on the tour is how Lizette Salas made it to the LPGA.

I've sent out a questionnaire to all farm workers here at our Estate.
They could all decide for themselves if they wanted to participate in this research project. My objective was to know how the people behind the scenes recall Hillcrest as brand.
The workers who responded have been working at Hillcrest between 4 months and 15 years. They all said that they really enjoy working at Hillcrest and they relish their specific roles. They are very grateful for the opportunity to work for Hillcrest.
I've requested to describe working at Hillcrest in 3 specific words, some feedback was enjoyable, happiness and best thing ever. I was also interested to find out if they think Hillcrest is a valuable brand to work for, so I asked to rate Hillcrest on a rational scale of 0-10 as an employer. The overall score was 8.6 out of 10.
We are contended to know that we have such ambitious employees that values their jobs and believe in Hillcrest as a brand!
It's very important to know and understand what the Hillcrest brand represents. I've asked all the workers to assign a human characteristic to the brand Hillcrest. They all responded in a very similar way, they said Hillcrest is a brand who is humble, caring and Honest who shows a lot of optimism. They are spot on with that prediction! We are a brand of intimacy and relationships. We love to share our boutique quality products with our customers in a personal environment where we treat our customers as friends.
After my research I'm confident that the Hillcrest Team is all on the same page when it comes to what Hillcrest stands for as a brand and that we are delivering a consistent brand promise throughout the whole team.

President Duterte has said he would block a proposed law against fake news because it would a form of censorship and against freedom of expression.
Speaking today (Wednesday, October 4) he said: "I heard earlier that they would craft a law to set a standard. Ah patay. That's censorship." The president was speaking after a meeting with the parents of hazing victim Horacio Tomas Castillo III at the Malacañang.
He was referring to a Senate hearing on fake news conducted by the Committee on Public Information and Mass Media, which was attended by government officials, bloggers, and journalists.
"That won't pass," the president said.
"Freedom of expression would be constitutional. I am sure they cannot pass a law against fake news."
He explained that people tend to doubt anybody writing his opinion. People, he said, would ultimately come up with their own opinion.
Use libel laws, not fake news legislation
Instead of passing a law against fake news, the president suggested an increase in penalties for libel and slander.
"If you want, pass a law increasing penalty. After all, you have slander, you have libel – a civil case.
"But to prescribe a set of rules, what is proper or not, that won't get through. That's dead when it reaches me."
During today's hearing, Senator Grace Poe Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson to double-check sources of information she shares on her Facebook page, Mocha Uson Blog.
"I would like – from PCOO – especially you have a government post – to vet your sources. It doesn't mean that if it's published by a particular site that it would reliable," she said. "We have to do double vetting for those things."
Poe cited a post by Uson in which she falsely claimed that US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said that President Duterte should be allowed "space to run his nation."
Uson explained that she initially shared a report published by a daily newspaper but deleted the same post when she found out that the news item was inaccurate.
Poe also questioned Uson on a news article she shared, which claimed that 95 out of 105 nations at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) commended the Philippines for its human rights record.
The article was published by the state-run Philippine News Agency.

CroppMetcalfe supports, recognizes, and honors veterans
Our Employer of the Week series features one company each week that has made a commitment to hiring and supporting veterans. This week's employer is CroppMetcalfe.
Since it was founded in 1979 by Mitchell Cropp, CroppMetcalfe has worked to achieve its mission of providing the ultimate in total comfort systems for homes and businesses. The company has grown into one of the largest heating, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, pest control, and home performance contractors in the Washington Metropolitan area. It's been recognized for its superior services with awards including the 2018 PHCC National and Virginia Contractor of the Year.
CroppMetcalfe is also an official Virginia Values Veterans certified company, and the CroppMetcalfe workforce includes veterans from every branch of the armed forces. The company places an emphasis on veterans through recruiting efforts, but they also offer a range of internships, fellowships, mentorships, and training programs. The wide range of programs available allows veterans to test their skills in the industry, earn certifications, and find a great place to start their civilian careers.
One of these programs is the CroppMetcalfe Academy which provides hands-on training in HVAC and plumbing. Classes are generally once a week and in the evening after work hours to accommodate current work schedules. Once candidates complete the academy, they're able to take the Journeyman's License exam and are eligible to be employed at that level in the industry.
"It teaches them all the skills that they need. I'm a veteran myself and I wish to God I had something like this when I got out," said Dave Myrick, a CroppMetcalfe trainer. "The military is very regimented and structured. There's a procedure for everything, and when you come out into the civilian world it's not that way...We give veterans all the tools they need so that they're able to transition from working on military equipment to working on civilian equipment."
"It really means a lot to the owners of the business," said Eric Tessel, CroppMetcalfe brand manager. "Giving back where we can to the military — customer or co-worker — is something we're always trying to do."
This year, in addition to supporting veterans through employment opportunities, CroppMetcalfe will also recognize and honor the sacrifices of all veterans as a Wreaths Across America sponsor.
"It's so powerful. Sometimes we all get caught up in our daily lives, especially around the holiday season, and it's good to remember that there's a bigger message, something bigger than you," Tessel said. "Being able to give back and participate and get involved in such a big movement makes everyone here feel good. It's definitely something that we want to be involved with."

Please note: the OMG Network is still in development, and some details cannot yet be included. This knowledge base will be revised regularly to include updates and additional details.
The OMG token is first and foremost a staking token. By holding OMG tokens, users gain the right to take an active role by running validator nodes on OMG's Proof of Stake network, using their tokens as a security deposit. Returns may be paid out in any currency, including but not limited to OMG. OMG will be a conduit for bringing value to Ethereum mainnet, because the value of OMG will be backed by the value of the amounts transacted on the OMG network; both external, real-world money, and crypto-money that is being pushed through the network's decentralized exchange (including the other applications, businesses, and token projects that are outsourcing their DEX requirements to it).
The token will have value derived from the fees derived from this network, with the obligation/cost of providing validation to its users. This token must have value, to prevent low-cost attacks and is necessary to enforce this network.
As the OMG platform and underlying network develops and evolves over time, so does the nature and role of the OMG token.

RUGBY fans are being offered discounted pints of real ale at a Knaphill pub during each Six Nations match.
Garibaldi landlord Martin Durrad is running the promotion for the fourth year in a row with pints costing £3.30 until the first try is scored.
Beers at the pub in the High Street usually cost from £3.85 to £4.05.
The annual northern hemisphere rugby tournament kicks off this evening in Paris, when France take on Wales.
Martin is making sure that drinkers get at least one discount pint during the rugby. "The promotion begins 15 minutes before kick-off and runs until the first try is scored," he said.
In the tournament last year, the latest first try was scored after 72 minutes by France against Ireland: "I remember that well," said Martin glumly. "You have to take the rough with the smooth. Games are sometimes played in a quagmire."
England begin their Six Nations in Dublin on Saturday, when they face the favourites, Ireland.

When it comes to acrylic nails, there are so many myths that the head is spinning around. And we think that it's our duty to clarify everything. Today we'll discuss facts of pros and cons of getting acrylics nails.
Furthermore, Glaminati.com team will give you a gallery of the trendiest nail art ideas for different acrylic nail shapes. Ready?
Square Shape Acrylic NailsSource: royaltynails via Instagram, urbannailart via Instagram, lieve91 via Instagram
Source: chaunlegend via Instagram, malishka702_nails via Instagram, tonysnail via Instagram
- Acrylics work great for babes with weak and brittle nails.
- Acrylics will be life saviors for babes who are used to chewing the nails. The damage from this bad habit can be hidden with faux nails.
- Acrylics have emerged earlier than other faux nails. So, nail technicians had much time to master this technique. It means that it's unlikely that something will go wrong during the procedure.
- Comparing to other faux nails, acrylics are cheaper.
- When you break one acrylic nail, you can fix it at home rather than splurging on the mani again, which is also great for girls who get them as wedding nails.
- Acrylics last longer, comparing to gel nails.

- Although it doesn't occur often, but acrylics can damage the nails and make it difficult to grow them out. And unfortunately, damaged nails are more likely to get affected by bacteria and fungus.
- You need to find a talented technician who is capable of making acrylics appear more natural.
- Acrylics are applied using strong chemicals, which might be a problem if you are prone to allergies.

The Royal Society for Public Health has launched a thing it hopes you lot might join in with, for ten minutes at least, with the grand ambition of encouraging people to quit or at least vastly reduce their social media use for an entire 30 days.
Scroll Free September is the name they came up with for it, and yes, the idea is you put your phone down a bit more than usual during the month of September (which thankfully only has 30 days) then go mad boasting about all the butterflies you looked at, the books you started reading, and all the jigsaw puzzles you did instead on October 1. The slightly ironic campaign announcement video warns of the initial horror of being alone with your thoughts, also suggesting you might be able to become a house-cleaning superstar if you could only stop being interested in what strangers think Gary Lineker thinks about Brexit today.
The Public Health reasons behind this are many, particularly that the RSPH and other health organisations are concerned that forever looking at a timeline of people pretending to have happy lives is, ironically, increasing our general levels of anxiety and depression, and also leads to body image issues, triggers and enables cyberbullying, and is responsible for an epidemic of sleepless nights. All of which are good reasons to stop reading the new things people have thought of that day. If you can. [Scroll Free September]

She's the artist of the moment.
While Lena Waithe has been toiling in entertainment for some time, 2017 cemented her mainstream cred after she became the first black woman to score the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, thanks to her and Aziz Ansari's compelling yet hilarious Master of None Thanksgiving coming out episode, which was based on her real-life experiences. Her inspiring and historic speech brought the house down: "The things that make us different — those are our superpowers."
In addition to writing and recurring on Master of None, the ambitious 33-year-old produces Netflix's Dear White People, booked a guest-star gig on This Is Us and unspooled her latest masterpiece, Chi Town, on Crave TV a couple of weeks ago to more critical acclaim and ratings glory.
Yes, when it rains, it pours rainbows. And for those wondering, she's not getting a lot of sleep but she's trying. Her schedule may lighten up if Master of None doesn't return for a third season for a variety of reasons.
She says, "I always joke to Aziz that I'm contractually obligated to come back as long as he wants me. I don't feel like it's necessary to write something for season three unless it makes sense. Our show is like Curb Your Enthusiasm where we may go away for a beat and return when we've refilled our cup and deliver something fresh and special. I don't want to do something 'just because' or to make some money; I want to do things that I'm passionate about."
Enter the uber timely tour-de-force, The Chi ("that's what the cool kids call the city," she says), which is a no-holds-barred coming-of-age story centring around the complicated murder crisis in Chicago's South Side and how it impacts the community but also shapes young black men and their families. But it's also a love letter to her hometown.
Despite its gritty nature, which Common produces and Waithe pens, The Chi was not a hard sell. "It's funny … you would think it would be," the former Bones writer tells Postmedia Network during a visit to Toronto, a city many compare to Chicago. "But it wasn't — which makes me feel very grateful. Showtime, where it airs in the U.S., had never read anything like this before so they embraced it. And they were my first meeting! They took me on before the 'diversity wave' happened on TV/streaming. It's cool that audiences are really ripe now for more of our stories."
So why does Chicago get a bad rap? "I'm aware of the gun violence and our share of crooked politicians," she admits. "Because the gun violence reached a high pitch, the news outlets had no choice but to report on the crisis. But the story I wanted to tell was one about these human beings who are working class folks that occupy this complicated scene and get caught up in chaos. I feel confident in saying it's not just a jungle out there. A lot of us are just trying to do the right thing. I'm confident saying that because I lived it."
Now that metaphoric Band-Aid has seemingly been ripped off America — exposing its deeply rooted and systemic racism, sexism and homophobia — is Waithe hopeful for her country's future or are the end times around the corner?
"I am hopeful," she says. "Black people are naturally resilient and hopeful — we've never had a choice in the matter. It's up to us. We can't look to anyone else to save us. We have to save ourselves."
With Waithe leading the way, of course.
The Chi streams Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CraveTV.

Bloomberg BNA and Grant Thornton launch program on tax and regulatory changes
Bloomberg BNA and Grant Thornton LLP are combining their expertise to help organizations understand the tax and regulatory changes on the horizon.
Under their joint efforts, their research series "Future Ready Business: Washington Impact" will help organizations that need to better understand and prepare for these changes.
The year-long program will include a series of events, both live and virtual, as well as digital content to guide business leaders as tax and other changes make their way through the legislative process.
"The United States is primed to see historic tax reform and sweeping policy changes; business leaders need to be prepared," said Randy Robason, national managing partner of Tax Services for Grant Thornton."
"We look forward to collaborating with Grant Thornton to develop impactful programs that will arm professionals with the tools they need to help their businesses best prepare for what portends to be a period of significant regulatory change," said Mike MacKay, president of Bloomberg BNA Plus.
The program series will kick off with a webcast on Monday, May 22 at 1 p.m. ET. "Separating Business Signals from Political Noise: A Policy Update for Executives" will bring together congressional newsmakers and tax specialists to mark where we are in the legislative process for two of the administration's signature economic priorities. To register, visit http://on.bna.com/VHYd30b7kJS.

Dive Brief:
- Over the past decade, the number of Latino students in California completing an associate or bachelor's degree has doubled, and the dropout rate among these students has fallen from 27% in 1994 to 13% in 2015. But Latino 3- and 4-year-olds in the state are still far less likely to attend preschool than young white, black and Asian children, and in school, they are more likely to have a less effective teacher, to attend a school without an arts programs to have less access to courses required for admission to the state's two university systems.
- These are just a few of the findings of "The Majority Report" from The Education Trust-West, which recounts the history of educational opportunities for California's largest ethnic group and provides a detailed look at where gaps still exist. In 2017, for example, less than a third of Latino 3rd graders met or exceeded the state's English standards, the report says, and 20% of middle school students did not pass algebra 1, which is required for higher-level math classes in high school.
- The report recommends that school and district leaders increase efforts to ensure that more young Latino children are attending preschool, perhaps by forming partnerships with local early education providers, that they train teachers to create "a culture of high expectations" for all students, and that they increase efforts to help students succeed in higher-level courses that prepare them for college.
Dive Insight:
The authors also profile several programs and initiatives that have been shown to improve Latino students' access to early learning programs and to provide additional academic support across the K-12 years and through their transition into college. For example, Fillmore Unified School District in Ventura County offers a low or no-cost Spanish-English preschool program in which teachers use the Sobrato Early Academic Language curriculum, alternating between full days of English instruction and full days of Spanish instruction.
The San Francisco Unified School District implemented a model in which all middle school students take the same sequence of Common Core-aligned math classes, which gives them access to high school courses that make them eligible for the state's university systems.Also throughout many Bay Area school districts, the Silicon Valley Education Foundation supports Elevate [Math], in which middle school students can preview the math curriculum for the next grade during a four-week summer course. The program has increased students' readiness for algebra.
The report also highlights programs serving the state's 51,000 Latino migrant students. The California Mini-Corps, for example, hires bilingual college students to serve as tutors for migrant students during school hours and in
the summer. Participants in the corps also receive coaching from a certified teacher and a large percentage of them pursue a teaching credential or a permit, which helps to diversify the workforce, the report says.

2 dead in overnight fire on Ash Street in Waltham
No injuries reported in second Waltham fire
A man and his mother died after an overnight fire on Ash Street in Waltham.
The fire broke out at about 2 a.m. at 67 Ash St.
Eric Miller, 49, was pronounced dead at the scene and his seriously injured 75-year-old mother, Elizabeth Miller, was taken to a local hospital. She later died.
A firefighter was also injured.
The snow and cold posed a challenge for firefighters, but hydrants in the area were dug out.
"It makes everything 10 times harder -- the snow, the ice, the house -- the location of the house was setback -- wires. Accessibility was not good. Fortunately, we've been keeping on top of the hydrants," Waltham Fire Chief Paul Ciccone said.
The fire marshal was at the scene.
No injuries were reported in a four-alarm fire on School Street in Waltham.

Waynesboro Area School District officials Tuesday agreed to a few changes to next year's graduation ceremony and tabled a few other decisions.
The board agreed Tuesday to require WASHS teachers to attend the commencement ceremony and to amend the dress code to include light-colored dresses/slacks, blouse and shoes for females; collared shirt with tie, slacks, socks and shoes; no footwear resembling flip-flops, sneakers or work boots.
The change to light-colored attire for girls is so clothing won't stand out underneath light-colored gowns.
But not all board members were in agreement with the dress code change.
"I think it's picky. It's too much," said Director Beth Reecher, who voted against the revision.
Assistant Superintendent Rita Sterner-Hine cautioned the board that putting it in writing doesn't always result in compliance.
"We need to be prepared. There will be challenges along the way, including that night," said Sterner-Hine. "We may need a tie collection."
The board agreed to defer until their next meeting discussion on requiring students to walk in alphabetical order and whether or not to have the ceremony outdoors.
"I don't agree with alphabetical order or holding it outside," Reecher said.
She said many students enjoy walking with friends, rather than kids they may not know well.
Reecher also took issue with outdoor graduation. She said with a lot of grandparents attending commencement, the heat could make for unnecessary discomfort.
Director Steve Kulla questioned the $38,000 estimated cost of moving graduation outside.
"I don't think we can justify spending $38,000 to move it outside," he said. "38,000 can go further than being out under the sunshine."
Kulla said he would prefer to have the student representatives to the board present during the discussion of those items.
"There's a lot to be considered," Kulla said.

Located in Matera in the region of Basilicata, Locanda di San Martino is a troglodyte hotel nestled in the cliff side. The caves are steeped in history, originating as a religious home for Fransican monks. The structure is made up of individual caves that are connected by external stairs and even a lift through the rocks. The bedrooms are carved into the rock face, and decorated with wooden furnishings and colourful tiled floors. The natural light from the glass double doors, the white tufa limestone and ambient lighting provide a fresh living space during your stay.
You'll find yourself just a short 10 minute stroll from the centre of Matera, which is 2019's European Capital of Culture. It is one of the longest continuously inhabited human settlements in the world, with inhabitants dating back up to 7,000 years. The ancient city is divided into two districts of cave dwellings, Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso. These dwellings were inhabited up until the 1950s when they were evacuated by the state due to the poor living conditions. Since this time the city has been rejuvenated with the opening of restaurants and artisan shops. Spend the day wandering the winding streets of Matera and its honeycomb like formation of caves in the rocks. Atop the hill, five minutes from the hotel, you'll see the beautiful 13th Century Apulian-Romanesque Cathedral.
After exploring the ancient city return to the hotel to relax. The hotel's pool and wellness centre offer a tranquil and unique opportunity to do so. The seating dotted along the terraced pathways that connect the caves provide the perfect spot to sip red wine whilst admiring the views of the valley below. In the evening the hotel's friendly staff will be available to recommend places to eat in the nearby ancient town.
Car hire is recommended for this hotel. Locanda di San Martino is approx. 1 hour 10 mins from Bari Airport

$1500 / 2br – 2 Bedroom Railroad Available July 1 (Bed Stuy/Bushwick)
This 2 bedroom railroad style apartment is situated just a few blocks on the Bed Stuy side of Broadway close to Bushwick. It's on the South side of Kosciuszko near Stuyvesant, a seven minute walk from the JMZ Myrtle/Broadway stop (20 min to Manhattan), and 15 min walk from the Utica A/C. It's a quiet, old brick building with heat and hot water included, on the second floor of a four-story, with some furnishings available. There's some exposed brick in the living room and one bedroom. It's a pretty good size with hardwood floors, marble tile in the kitchen, and is definitely under market value at $1500 a month. We're using the 2nd bedroom as an office/storage space now but it's certainly suitable as a bedroom. The space is, however, probably best suited to a couple rather than roommates.
The landlord requires a $100 credit check/application fee and one or two month security deposit dependent upon credit.
Please email if you're interested in learning more.

Brewster High School senior Harrison Dignan sat surrounded by his mom and brothers last week as he signed a letter of intent to play Division III men's basketball at SUNY Geneseo.
"Harrison is a friendly and positive member of our school community and a hard-working athlete," said Athletic Director Dean Berardo. "Having had the opportunity to watch Harrison play in many basketball games, I can attest to the superior effort he plays the game with. I am certainly proud of what he has accomplished as an athlete here at Brewster High School."
Dignan, who plans to study to become a high school math teacher, loved the Geneseo campus as soon as he visited. His mom, Catriona Dignan, did too.
"I'm thrilled," she said of his decision to sign with the school. "When we visited, I knew immediately that we loved it. The campus is great. I just got a really good feeling about it — and I like the coach, so that was nice."
Harrison echoed her sentiments, saying "I love the basketball team and I had a great time when I was there. The coach was a great guy and the players were great guys too."
Harrison's brothers and Brewster basketball alumni Connor and Jack Dignan were there for the signing, as was his youngest brother, William.
"I'm very proud of him. He's put in a lot of work," said Jack. "I'm coaching DIII basketball right now myself and having played at Oneonta, I'll root for him the best that I can as long as he doesn't play my team."
Good natured jokes aside, Harrison's family and the school district are proud of Harrison — as both a player and a person.
"Harrison was a great leader," said coach Tom Nelligan. "He always was focused on getting his teammates together and playing as a group. He was always positive and brought the team together. He was the hardest working player on the team. The smallest guy on the floor always got the biggest rebound and had the biggest heart."

All the latest Farts related news - Getting to the Bottom of the man Behind the CBS Animation
3/2/2013 - Getting to the Bottom of the man Behind the CBS Animation
Back in 2000 when I made my debut on the Saturday night CBS Network Television version of the Howard Stern Show a very nice little introductory animation introduced me to viewers of the show.
Ive always admired the animation, it came as a complete surprise to me, I had no idea that CBS or the show was going to go to such lengths animation was still pretty difficult and costly back then by todays standards.
For years I never knew who drew or animated the cartoon so tonight I was most pleased to see a YouTube upload by Producer, Director and Animator Peter Fowkes that includes not only the finished cartoon but also the original working drawings that Peter did as he mapped out the intro.
All in all a most pleasing Saturday night find indeed. Or should that be Shaturday?
Above - Peter Fowkes brilliant animation for my appearance on the CBS Network Version of the Howard Stern Show.
