About me
I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and raised in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. I was drawn to work in Hawaii through an opportunity with one of my fellow residents. Beyond that, Maui captivated me as did our wonderful organization, the Hawaii Permanente Medical Group (HPMG). I have a young daughter and a son, and can think of no better place to raise a child than Hawaii.
About my practice
When I was growing up my best friend's father, a thoracic surgeon who was pioneering video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, would bring home VHS tapes of thoracic surgery. I loved to watch the videos and it was then I knew I wanted to be a surgeon. I chose urology because it seemed to be the most diverse of all the specialties. As a urologist, I treat men and women of all ages, and this involves endoscopy, robotics, open and minimally invasive surgery, and medical management. The integration of all doctors and specialties makes HPMG an enjoyable place to work. Our medical group allows me to focus on patient care, not the financials of running a business, and this is important to me.I believe in listening to my patients—they will often tell me what is wrong and what's the diagnosis. To stay up-to-date with the latest developments in my field, I attend conferences and home courses. However, my experience has shown me that the difficulty lies not in developing new ideas, but escaping from the old ones. In my practice, I never rush or make a patient feel hurried. It's important to hear them out. I'm not averse to learning from my patients as well. I also appreciate the courage of my patients when told they have cancer. My patients embody the saying "You never know how tough you are until being tough is the only option left."
How I thrive
For exercise, I like to run, golf, surf, etc. I eat well and limit my consumption of meat and fried or processed foods. Reducing stress is another important aspect of good health.Raising my young children is now a big focus in my life. Thanks to HPMG I have no regrets about work-life balance because my practice allows adequate time to spend with my family.

Leopoldo Garcia Lucera, 80 years old, lives in London and is a Chilean exile who was tortured during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Like thousands of his compatriots, he underwent violence of every type after the coup d'état of September 11. 1973, that put an end to the democratic government of Salvador Allende.
40 years after the fall of the state, Garcia won his legal battle to obtain reparations from the Chilean state for the torture inflicted on him by the soldiers of Pinochet. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights-with headquarters in San Josè, Costa Rica-ruled in his favor and held Chile the responsible for forcing the man into exile in 1975. Now Santiago will be able to return to Chile and prosecute those who tortured him.
Before his capture, Leopoldo was the manager of a racetrack gambling office in the Chilean capital and a soldier of the socialist party. His nightmare started a few days after the coup d'état when the police arrested him. Garcia was tortured for information about other people tied to the Socialist party: every two or three of hours his torturers tied his hands to his feet, blindfolded him, struck his head and immersed him in water. Following his arrest and subsequent torture he was moved to the National Stadium where he was tortured for another three months before being transferred to detention camps in Chacabuco, Tres Alamos and Ritoque.
I lost teeth-recounted Garcia-and the scar on my face was caused by a blow from a machine gun. I had a broken arm and permanent damage to my spine. Even now I live with pain from the consequences of my injuries incurred in that period, it will be so until I die". When he was liberated, on the condition that he left the country, Leopoldo went to London with his family, unable to work because of the impairment the torture had caused him, having lost all of his belongings and assets he had possessed in Chile.
long road for justice started in 1994, when Leopoldo decided to start proceedings in the Inter-American Association of the Protection of Human Rights, in order to ask for reparations from the Chilean state. He addressed the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, the agency used to receive the denunciations of violations of human rights on behalf of individuals, which dictated the case admissible in 2005 and referred it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in 2011. The court, a true system of law, started the proceedings that a couple of days ago, ruled in favor of Leopold, recounting excessively late investigations by the Chilean government in his case and supporting that this represented a violation of his rights, in which a compensation was necessary.
The sentence has a dual significance. On one side, it is the first decision of a court of justice in the case of a survivor of torture under Pinochet's regime and thus constructs a precedent for many other Chileans that are escapees of the dictatorship of the general, the other important element of the establishment-and distinguished, since it came from a supranational court-is that it strengthens the memory of what occurred in Chile during the 1980s.
Historic Verdict for Chile
First compensation for survivors of torture under Pinochet

Crimes of genocide and against the humankind
the denial of the individual's value
The first legal definition in the domain of mass persecution dates back to 1915 and concerns the massacres of the Armenian populations perpetrated by the Turks, which were followed by the trials of the perpetrators before the Martial Court. In the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920 the Great Powers use the terms "crimes against civilization" and "crimes of lèse-humanity". In the aftermath of Second World War, face the Holocaust tragedy, the Military Tribunal of the Nurnberger Trials against Nazi officials started the proceeding by stating the crimes on which it was competent... On 9 December 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations unanimously approved the Convention for the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide, which is considered as the most heinous crime against Humanity.

Not that she has to know, it can be their dirty little secret. It was wonderful looking down to watch the big dick sliding in and out of her pussy. Once his cock is fully erect she instructs him to lie on his back over the tub, squatting on top of him, grabbing onto the shower curtain rail while pushing her bald pink pussy on to his dick. She squats back on top, making her juicy bubble ass bounce up and down his rod in cowgirl position. He sits and she straddles herself on top, riding him anally in reverse cowgirl. He spreads her legs and shoves his cock back into her cunt and starts to fuck her again, quickly bringing her to another orgasm once more.
Noemi. Age: 27.
While my wife took care of the laundry, the sexy nurse brought me my lunch tray and medicine.
Ana. Age: 28.
She pulled her nice tits over her bra and I slipped my hard cock up and down her wet pink slit. I stopped and stayed motionless, letting the sexy slut control the motion. Her hips were rotating in a circular motion, back and forth, up and down, and then in a circular motion again. She lifts her dress over her tits and fondles them while rubbing her snatch, moaning and grunting with pleasure. He starts off by taking off her shirt and taking a good look at her young juicy tits. Her eyes wide out of surprise, she has never seen cum before, her ass hole is like a fountain, shooting his cum out. That was awkward, but wait, it got even more awkward when she helped me clean up with a towel, gently rubbing my throbbing cock in the process, giving me a dirty look and telling me to keep quiet.

Know Someone Who Just Had a Baby? Let the Planning Begin!
Key Takeaways:
- Life events necessitate many changes, both personally and financially.
- After having a baby, estate, insurance and college planning become particularly critical.
- Reevaluating your budget is important after a life change in order to make adjustments and continue to save for your future.
Time goes fast when you're a new parent. As I mentioned in a previous blog, my wife and I were expecting our first child in April. We were anticipating mid-April, but (much to my wife's dismay) it turned into late April. My son Archie was born on April 28th, a happy and healthy little boy. A lot has changed in our lives during this time, and it's all been a blur. I'm beginning to see what everyone was talking about when they told us "enjoy this time, before you know it he'll be all grown up".
Some specific changes that stick out for me:
- I undervalued sleeping in
- Someone's peeing/pooping habits become a main topic of conversation
- Most times there's something you can do when a baby's crying, but sometimes there isn't
- Always buy more diapers than you think are necessary
- It's a shocking but liberating thing to now always put yourself second
There were also some other big changes that my wife and I needed to start thinking about as a family. What happens if I get hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow? What happens if we both get hit by that bus? How much is college going to cost in 18 years? How can someone that small need so much stuff?
So I thought I'd list out a few things that we're doing to ensure our family is financially secure. These apply to anyone having a child, going through a major life event, or just as a reminder if these aren't some things you've taken care of yet.
- Getting a Will – Now that we have a child, we want to make sure that a structure is in place to ensure he's safe and taken care of. Wills allow you to make specific bequests in the event of your death, name guardians who would care for a child if the parents pass away, and also set up descendants trusts so money will be held aside for a child until they are of age.
- Plan for Incapacitation – Since we're getting a will prepared, my wife and I are also putting together our Healthcare Directives (aka Living Will) and Durable Powers of Attorney (both health and financial) so our survivors can fulfill our medical and financial wishes if we are unable to speak for ourselves.
- Obtain proper insurance – I want to make sure that if I were to pass away tomorrow, my wife and son will have enough money to maintain their standard of living. For the policy on my life, we determined the amount of coverage by estimating a number of years to replace my salary, estimating childcare costs, covering outstanding debts like a mortgage, and projecting out college expenses. We went with term insurance since it tends to be much cheaper than permanent.
- Update Beneficiaries – My wife and I each have each other as our primary beneficiary on all accounts. However, we updated our contingent beneficiaries to ensure a trust in my son's name will inherit the funds in the event we both pass away before he's an adult.
- College Savings – We hope to help pay for Archie's education, so we enrolled in the Utah 529 plan to take advantage of the tax benefits provided. Reasons for choosing a 529 plan (particularly the Utah plan) are covered here and here.
- Budgeting – My wife and I both have full-time jobs, so we'll be hiring a Nanny or using daycare. Both are expensive, so we use a free online budgeting tool to determine how we'll adjust our spending so we can afford the care (and diapers!) while still saving for our future.
This is a high level summary, but if you have other suggestions of things we should be doing I'd love to hear it. Please feel free to email me or call me at (610) 695-8070. I also hope you enjoy the picture of our family, I'm a lucky guy.

"The 10-Minute Take" is a new podcast series dedicated to providing insights from RBC economists and market experts on events unfolding around the globe.
Featuring Helima Croft, RBC Capital Markets Global Head of Commodities Strategy
Donald Trump is using every diplomatic tool to stop the oil war unleashed by Russia and Saudi Arabia, betting that neither can sustain themselves for long at $25 a barrel. But the Russians may be betting that Trump – or at least U.S. oil producers – will blink first, by scaling back American production and allowing OPEC+ to again drive global markets. Even if the oil powers agree to stabilize markets at a higher price, it may take longer than many are expecting, as the COVID-19 pandemic decimates global growth. Helima Croft, RBC Capital Markets Global Head of Commodities Strategy, joins us to explain.

Marijuana, Prescription Opioid, or Prescription Benzodiazepine Drug Use Among Older Adults (R01): Despite significant scientific advancements made in substance use disorder research over the last century, the causes and consequences of drug use in later life remain poorly understood. The intent of this funding opportunity announcement is to support innovative research that examines aspects of marijuana and prescription opioid and benzodiazepine use in adults aged 50 and older. This FOA encourages research that examines the determinants of these types of drug use and/or characterizes the resulting neurobiological alterations, associated behaviors, and public health consequences. This initiative will focus on two distinct populations of older adults: individuals with earlier onset of drug use who are now entering this stage of adult development or individuals who initiate drug use after the age of 50. Applications are encouraged to utilize broad methodologies ranging from basic science, clinical, and epidemiological approaches. The insights gleaned from this initiative are critical to our understanding of the determinants of drug use in later life, as well as its consequences in the aging brain and on behavior. This knowledge may have the potential to identify risk factors and to guide clinical practices in older populations.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear" (1 John 4:18).
1 John 4:11-18; Matt 6; 45-52
The Gospels are proclamations of the kerygma, a Greek word encompassing the joyful cry of the first preachers in early church that salvation has come through Jesus Christ. The written texts that followed summarize this "Good News" in richly layered narratives of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus backlit with prophecies, events and images from Hebrew history fulfilled in him.
We read Matthew's story of the miraculous feeding of the crowd and recognize Jesus as the new Moses calling down manna in the desert as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the Eucharist. We see in the stormy crossing of Sea of Galilee an image of the Exodus to freedom and a demonstration of the power of the risen life that Jesus, the Bread of Life, gives us. The Good News is that the early church was experiencing the presence of the risen Jesus as it made passage from death to life through the storms of history, already transcending its dangers with courage and faith because sin and death have been overcome.
As primarily theological testimonies, the Gospels exceed historical or biographical records because they are not about the past but about the present. God's inbreaking into history is a timeless now. It is our call to participate in the redemption of the world by sharing in the pattern of Jesus' selfless love and fearless confrontation with the forces of deceit, illusion, violence and self-interest that seek to block the emergence of the Beloved Community, God's plan for humanity. We are disciples of the Beatitudes, suffering but already projecting a future in which meekness, purity of heart, mercy, compassion, peace and justice overcome fear and despair with love and hope.
To believe this Gospel, not just as a vision or promise, but as the operating principle of our attitudes and activities, is to sing the song of Love we find in John's letters to the churches: "God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in them. In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17).

Drive hits theaters at full speed
October 6, 2011
After seeing the trailer, one might expect the usual action movie from Drive. It features choppy cuts, lots of shouting, and brief action sequences. But upon seeing the full-length movie, one finds a thrilling, violent, yet story-driven movie that modernizes the concept of film noir.
The plot of Drive follows an unnamed stunt driver, portrayed by Ryan Gosling, who works at a garage and drives getaway cars for heists on the side. However, he gets too emotionally involved with his neighbor Irene, portrayed by Carey Mulligan, and finds himself falling deeper in with the local crime syndicates, in hopes of helping those closest to him. The flow of the plot is nearly seamless as scenes transition smoothly from well-acted dialogue into grotesque violence with little to no "jerkiness" felt by the audience. These smooth transitions become even more impressive when you realize just how violent and gory this movie actually is, a couple of examples being a guy getting stabbed in the eye with a fork or a man's skull being audibly and visibly crushed after being repeatedly stomped on.
The acting in Drive is impeccable. Ryan Gosling, the star of "The Notebook" and king of romantic drama, was cast perfectly as the "Driver." Lacking a name, Driver lacks personality, but through that gains universal appeal. He is at times a sensual guy who is trying to find love, and at others a brutally efficient driving and killing machine. This brings to light another aspect of Ryan Gosling's performance: Driver has very few lines and so Gosling must portray the character's thoughts and emotions through silence. Many of the intricacies in Driver's character can be interpreted solely through his eyes and facial expressions. Because of this, the story flows smoothly through the silent bits, which are at no point during the entire movie perceived as awkward.
Because silence plays such an important role in the telling of the story, the sound itself helps portray just as much. The soundtrack of Drive, compiled and composed by Cliff Martinez, is chock full of electronica, resulting in a sense of 1980's pop revival through the use of synthesizer europop. The periods of silence that occur throughout the movie are often filled with ghostly and dreamlike synthesizer fills, giving the movie a strangely epic sense of surrealism. The fills often can be perceived as the emotions felt by Driver, due to his frequent silence, and help round out Ryan Gosling's performance.
The plot, acting, music, and overall planning put into the film turn this tragic story of a stunt driver into an epic film of love and violence. Every little detail, including cinematography and prop placement, was clearly taken into account, providing audiences with something much deeper than your everyday thriller. It provides a story that can be picked apart, and is full of characters that harbor many emotional reasons for the things they say and do. Everything that happens in this movie is emotionally driven for one reason or another, and is all portrayed through at least one medium of expression, whether it be the soundtrack or the acting itself. Drivetakes viewers on a ride they are not likely to forget. It would be shameful for this movie not to become an instant classic that people will be talking about for years to come.

Todays mission was to develop more on my photoshop skills and create an elegant blog layout either on photoshop or illustrator. I prefer illustrator personally so I followed along to the videos made my Dale and uploaded on to google classroom week 5.
I also started to create 10-20 vector and .png art assets for next weeks class. I decided my theme was going to flowers and plants to try and combine as many colours as possible, because why not. We will end up submitting a A1 poster .pdf of the final compositon machine. Im looking forward to this task and the idea of relying on the random.

I'm going to a baby shower for my brother-in-law's girlfriend in a few weeks and I'm not sure if I should just give a little gift and then give a bigger gift when the baby is born, or whether to just give the whole thing at the shower, and just take her some flowers or something when the baby is born?
I was planning on spending about $200 for gifts, but thought I would give her those gifts when the baby is born when we visit her in hospital. But now she's having a shower, and I don't know how much to give at the shower vs hospital. I'm so confused!

Baby shower gift etiquette - is this when I give the big gift?
05-09-2009 15:46 #2
I'm not aware of any 'rules' as such, but I would be inclined to give the bigger gift at the baby shower, that is kind of the point I would imagine. Then just a little something when the baby is born. That's what most of my family did when DS was born, they just bought a little something to the hospital (or our house) when they visited for the first time
05-09-2009 16:14 #3
i agree with doing the bigger gift at the baby shower. what i didnt realise is that people actually bought for the shower and also for the birth. i guess i am uneducated in these sorts of things esp with never being to one.
05-09-2009 16:36 #4
I've only been to 2 'baby showers'.. but one was actually a blessingway so no gifts as such, although I dyed and printed up some cloth nappies, and we all brought some food for the day and some food for the mum to freeze for after the baby and we all gave her massages and painted her belly in henna and just lavished love and attention on the pregnant mumma to be, and all pledged favours like help with housework or meals being cooked for after the baby was born when she would need a hand.
The other was more mainstream, just a barbie but my friend, (the mum) asked if I could make her a cake instead of a gift (I have a cake business) so I made her a cake that would be worth a few hundred dollars as well as a thing off her registry. (they had a registry somewhere, can't remember)
I would say, there is no real etiquette as such because everyone is going to think different things are the done thing.
Do what you would like to do.
You're giving gifts, I don't think there should really be a wrong way to give gifts.

My cousin had a bub a few months ago and I gave her a big gift basket at her baby shower. I didn't give her anything when the baby was born. Surely mums don't expect 2 presents, particularly when the baby shower gift is a large one?
05-09-2009 17:36 #6
Thanks guys - that's really helpful!
09-09-2009 09:17 #7
I would probably split my budget. Perhaps 75% on a baby shower gift and than 25% on a welcome to earth baby gift.
I would also probably get something for the baby for the shower and than something for mum for the hospi.

For me the decision would be on what I was going to buy and whether she knows what she's having. If you wanted to get something that would be better gender specific then go for after the birth. If you were getting something that wasn't gender specific and that you didn't want her to buy before you gave it to her then give it at the shower.
I usually give the majority at the shower and any gender specific outfit after the birth. Hope this helps

The original idea behind a baby shower was to shower the mother to be with gifts for the baby such as baby powder, rash creams, wipes, shampoo, body wash, all the smaller things that were a necessity for when the baby was born. It's gone the way everything else has gone and has become this big expensive thing that people can compete with and see who can spend the most amount of money.
I guess it all depends on if it's a "traditional" baby shower or one of the more modern ones where large and expensive gifts are expected.
16-10-2009 10:57 #10
Hope you don't mind OP I just wanted to tag on a question of my own that is a little similar. I am going to a baby shower on Saturday and because I know the mum has loads of stuff from her previous babys I was thinking of getting a gift for her. A voucher to get her toes and nails done afterward. Its just a though...is this odd? I thought it might be a nice gesture but not sure if it is inappropriate.

Power in numbers: Free Spirit reflection
More stories from Timothy Stolp
December 3, 2019
October 25, 2019
August 29, 2019
This past summer, I attended the 2019 Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference, which has been held in Washington, D.C. for the past 20 years. There, I met 50 outstanding student-journalists from across the nation, one from each state and Washington, D.C. The annual week-long event is an opportunity for aspiring journalists to meet their peers, their predecessors and others who believe in the importance of the press.
Conceived in 1999 by Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today, Freedom Forum and the Newseum, the program exists to honor the famed journalist-entrepreneur's legacy. Through the generosity of the Freedom Forum and the Newseum, as well as their commitment to the future of the press, the Free Spirit Conference, as us Free Spirit Scholars called it colloquially, is made possible.
Along with a $1,000 scholarship, Free Spirit Scholars were treated to an all-expenses-paid adventure in the Capitol. We roamed museums (especially the Newseum), we went to fancy restaurants and when we didn't eat out, we had Wolfgang Puck catered on the exclusive upper-levels of the Newseum; we were given behind-the-scenes passes into governmental buildings and news broadcasts. Every day, we met at least one Pulitzer Prize-winner, it seemed, and a trove of other award-winning journalists. It was an exclusive ticket to the inner workings of the "real world" of journalism, and our schedule was jam-packed.
But, when asked to write a reflection on this experience, I realized that none of this made the 2019 Free Spirit conference completely what it was.
We are in the business of truth, the uncovering and distribution of it; we pride ourselves on being unbiased, untouched by the happenings that we report on. Yet, I feel this article would be inconsequential if I didn't provide the more immaterial truth of the conference as well. Yes, I had a great time; I was lavishing in an experience quite unlike anything I might have again. It is, however, the connections I made with the people I met which turned the trip into a milestone.
On the first night, the staff at the Freedom Forum brought us to the Newseum and gave us the opportunity to share what we found to be the most important of the five freedoms protected within the First Amendment. As each of my peers went up to the microphone to say what they thought, there was an immediate sense of openness to deeper conversation about the state of our nation, the state of the press and the state of freedom in general. It was an important tone to set for the rest of the trip.
I said that, to me, the freedom of assembly is most prevalent, a statement I became even more confident as the week went on. I stated that I believe numbers have great power, and as each voice gets added to the conversation, there is a greater chance of real progress being made. It is because of the collective whole, not in spite of it, that we will be able to make change a reality.
I cannot remember when I first heard the idea that there is power in numbers, but in my 17 years of life, I have seen this truth in action time and time again. And at the Free Spirit Conference, I saw it up close and personal.
After that first encounter with each other, we went to dinner and got to know one another. Throughout the week, it would be the in between moments in which I would connect most with the people around me. We were able to talk about all of the other things that interested us, and I found that, for a lot of us, there seemed to be a general sense of curiosity about anything and everything. My peers were continuously fascinated by new ideas and topics, which I know will lend itself to them becoming great journalists (and having great careers, no matter what field any of the Free Spirits choose).
Our minds were filled to the brim with a variety of perspectives, and many of the speakers reminded us that at the end of the week, it is up to us to decipher what remains most pertinent. Advice is subjective; the truth is personal. The alumni we met were most apt to tell us that they considered a lot of paths before journalism, even after their stay in D.C. at the conference however many years ago. They were reluctant because they were told journalism was dying, but ended up making the decision to stick with it or return to it after college because of its purpose and what it provides them: the opportunity to tell true stories the most efficient way known.
Each speaker frequently challenged my perspective, and remained open to the questions we asked, which ranged from tactical means of bettering high school journalism programs to a Free Spirit's own writing or broader, philosophical questions about the morality of a situation the speaker or a current journalist may be facing or have faced. I gained a stronger foundation of the principles guiding many of the reporters of today—in comparison with the past, as well, which provided context for the uprooting of many altruisms that previously remained unbudged.
In short, what I saw was that numbers add up. No matter how the dice is rolled, how the cards are dealt or how the story is told, there will always be a greater picture at hand. There are still six sides to every dice, there are still 52 cards in every deck and there are still more than even two sides of every story. At the end of the day, it's a matter of perspective and looking from every angle before deciphering what it means for yourself. This is why I find the freedom of assembly and any assault on it so important to cover: we must be given the opportunity to see the whole picture, to see everyone's side. Bigots and their pedantic dogmas do not need to fill the page, it's simply a matter of discerning what angle to portray them from so as to elucidate their abnormality.
On the second-to-last night of the conference, we again returned to the room where it all started for a concert. I think most of us were expecting dancing and a lack of lecturing, which was not what we got. However, what we did get exceeded our expectations. The Freedom Forum gave us a private showing of Freedom Sings, an educational concert series that tours semi-regularly and teaches about the changing tides of music censorship over time.
What we learned through the songs and the speaker was that, despite our freedoms in the First Amendment, primarily speech in this case, music remains a target of censure. They tracked the history of censorship from Revolutionary times to the current day, the majority of censorship coming with the sea of change during the social movements of the 1960s.
At the end, the speaker explained the story of "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. He was "the Beyoncé" of the time, he laughingly stated. But it was the 60s and he was unable to enter a lot of spaces that Beyoncé and her contemporaries now occupy. A specific instance at a hotel where his white friends were able to stay, as legend has it, prompted Cooke to go to the back of the tour bus, where he wrote the famous song of progress in just under six minutes. The tune is a swelling and hopeful ode to the trials of a community long-marginalized.
The band sang the song. I think it's safe to say many of us Free Spirits felt a stirring of emotions. As they faded out, former-President Obama's inauguration speech came on a TV to the side. In it, he says, "It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America."
Obama's line mirrors the song directly, "It's been a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come."
It took 44 years, but change came; coincidentally, with the 44th President, the mark of a passage into a new era, one with work still to be done, but work that can be done. "Yes we can," Obama championed as his campaign slogan. The speaker informed us that Cooke was assassinated just four years later by a hotel manager, in a case that would be ruled justifiable homicide. The shocking coincidences of all of this moved me to tears, amplified by the resurgence of the band, finishing the song, which they never concluded in all this exposition.
I looked around as the dim lights came up. The speaker told us he was excited for the future because of our bright faces. I looked at my peers: black, white, Latinx, all genders, gay, straight. I saw them not only for who they were, but for the true power they add to the whole of humanity. This is what made the Free Spirit Conference what it was for me.
Al Neuharth is a very quotable man, and one of his sayings sticks out to me: "The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective." In speaking with Neuharth's family, I saw that this man, who grew from an impoverished, single-mother household in smalltown South Dakota, was able to change the face of journalism in a world that needed it. In going forward from the conference, I have carried this mindset of looking at the numbers and deciding what to do from there: taking risks and being bold, but not without good reason.
The Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference is the chance of a lifetime for those interested in press and protecting the freedoms that allow for liberty of the mind. I am grateful to have had the experience and learned from it what I did: every day, there is the possibility of creating good action, so get out there, figure out the puzzle, add it all up and write that story.

Returning Starters:
Mooney's young squad didn't lose much of it's primary rotation, which was to be expected of a team that did not start any upperclassmen last season. A10 All-Conference second team selection Jacob Gilyard and third team selection Grant Golden will return as juniors next year, bringing back 33.4 of the Spiders' 70 points per game.
Golden was one of the best interior scorers in the conference this year, using his excellent touch and footwork to make up for lacking athleticism. He'll look this summer to improve his perimeter shooting in order to spread the floor and to add strength to improve his presence on the defensive glass (I don't need to say that he'll hopefully work on his free throw shooting as well).
Gilyard led the Atlantic 10 in scoring in just his second season. Hitting the deep ball at a 36% clip, he's an excellent shooter off of the dribble who will try to improve his consistency. Expect him to certainly do so next year as some load will be taken off of his shoulders with the return of Nick Sherod and arrival of Wagner transfer Blake Francis, one of the best three-point shooters in the Northeast Conference two seasons ago.
Fellow junior Nathan Cayo is coming off of his breakout season after being Golden's most consistent help on the interior. A role player as a freshman who scored only 2.3 points per game, Cayo started all 33 games he played in as a sophomore. He was the third leading scorer at 12.9 points per game for Richmond, improved his FG% from 43% his first season to 59% last season, and was able to sustain 31 minutes per game, filling crucial minutes for a team short-staffed at the forward positions. Cayo will likely work on his shooting over the summer after hitting free throws at a 57% rate and attempting only four three-pointers all year. His shot form starts below the waist and takes time to rise up, so don't be shocked if he scraps it altogether and comes back next fall with a whole new form.
Freshman guards Jake Wojcik and Andre Gustavson will head into their sophomore season's with an entire year of starting experience. While neither was a prolific scorer, Wojcik was second behind Gilyard in three-pointers made and tied with him on the team at 36 3FG%. Gustavson flashed potential as a strong slasher and was an excellent perimeter defender, aided by his 6' 4" frame on a shorter Richmond team. Gilyard, Francis, and Wojcik are projected by some to precede Gustavson on the depth chart but he could find his way into the starting lineup due to his defensive prowess. Richmond allowed the highest FG% (46%) and fourth-highest 3FG% (34.4%) to opponents in the A10.
Bench Turnover:
Depth was a major issue for the Spiders last season, especially after Nick Sherod tore his ACL in the early goings and Bryce Schneider transferred after playing just four games. Seniors Noah Yates and Julius Johnson, who each played about 16 minutes per game, no longer have eligibility remaining. They were important role players for Mooney who could space the floor well.
Freshman Sal Koureissi should have a greater role off of the bench in his second year. Koureissi has a long frame at 6' 9" with a 7' 3" wingspan. He only played about six minutes per game, however Chris Mooney several times over the course of the year admitted he should've given the New York native more playing time. Koureissi attacked the rim effectively in limited minutes and played solid defense in spurts. If he can pack on some muscle in the offseason to improve his rebounding and fortify a consistent three-pointer from the corners, he could certainly be looking at 15-20 minutes per game next fall.
The Ontario, Canada native Matt Grace enters his second season as the only Spider standing above 6' 10" aside from Grant Golden. Grace was limited in out-of-conference play but saw his minutes increase in the A10 portion of the year. The lanky freshman proved he was capable in the pick-and-roll game by knocking down open three-pointers following screens and had a solid touch in the low post. Like Koureissi, he'll need to add some weight as a 210 lbs center/4 if he wants to get more minutes to aid Golden and Cayo on the block.
The Spiders' only incoming freshman as of now is the Marianapolis Prep product Tyler Burton, a Worcester, Massachusetts native. Burton made the All-USA Connecticut Second Team his senior season and was a 20/10 double-double guy as just a junior.
He's a long, athletic wing at 6' 6" that can play shooting guard or small forward. I'd compare him to Andre Gustavson, another longer guard with good athleticism. Gustavson is the better defender of the two, however Burton's off-the-dribble jumper, ability to finish, and ball handling skills are very adept. He has very good off-ball awareness and movement which will fit in seamlessly to Chris Mooney's "Princeton Offense," which utilizes numerous screens and backdoor cuts.
If Burton wants to find significant minutes in his first college season, he'll need to show a strong ability to rebound. Richmond was one of the worst teams in the nation in rebounding last year and already lack significant size in the post outside of Golden. If Burton can become comfortable playing the 3 and helping on the defensive glass, don't be surprised if his minutes creep into double digits consistently.
Rotation Factors
There will be an unusual amount of rotation shift next season for a team returning most of its talent. Nick Sherod will be returning for his redshirt junior season coming off of a torn ACL and 6' 0" transfer Blake Francis will be eligible after sitting out a season due to NCAA transfer regulations.
There are two key factors that will heavily affect the rotation that Mooney decides to go with in 2019-2020: Nick Sherod's recovery and Sal Koureissi's development. If Koureissi adds weight this summer and improves his jumper to spread the floor, Richmond would be ecstatic to award him significant minutes off of the bench as a power forward, taking pressure off of Nathan Cayo.
Sherod was a good 2/3 for the Spiders who could shoot and drive well. I don't need to give examples of athletes losing their explosiveness permanently after an ACL injury, though. Expect Mooney to start him but I personally would be comfortable giving him 20-25 minutes off of the bench until he eases back into his rhythm. Richmond could certainly use a veteran to lead the young second unit, especially one that produces more than just threes and defense.
There are three givens in life: Grant Golden, Jacob Gilyard, and Nathan Cayo will be in the starting lineup for Richmond (I guess death and taxes too). I'm nervous to put Sherod in the first five but I do believe Mooney will start him, however that depends on his recovery's progression over the next four months.
Jake Wojcik will likely hang in starting unit again this season, especially if Cayo and Golden can't spread the floor by shooting threes prolifically.
The first man off of the bench will be Blake Francis. He was a top-3 three-point shooter in the Northeastern Conference during his two seasons at Wagner. The only reason I don't have him starting over Wojcik is that at 6' 0", him and Gilyard would be a very small backcourt that could further increase defensive issues for Richmond. Regardless, he should be looking anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes per game, depending a lot on Wojcik's minutes.
Gustavson will likely see his playing time decrease as a sophomore, which will be great for his development down the road. Mooney praised him (deservedly) all year for his ability and potential as a defender and he showed his strength driving the ball. He's also a good passer who can run the Princeton Offense well. However, his jumper was subpar and inconsistent, which makes him hard to play when Golden and Cayo are also on the floor. He'll probably be looking at 10-15 minutes per game this year, giving him time to develop his confidence as a driver and smoothen out his shooting stroke.
Tyler Burton is an intriguing wing player who will find minutes if he can rebound. His position flexibility is a major plus and his strong off-ball play makes him much more ready as a freshman than others would be. Look for him to potentially get 10-15 a games, varying significantly on Gustavson and Koureissi.
Spider fans should be cautiously optimistic heading into next fall. If the younger guys can continue to grow, Sherod returns to his old form, and Francis can be a great contributor, a top-5 finish in the A10 isn't out of the question (though unlikely). However, if youth development becomes stagnant and roles aren't established quickly, things could fall apart.

How to Let Go of the Clutter After the Death of a Loved One, a Divorce, or a Breakup
Tips to wrangle the chaos—both physically and emotionally—according to a pro organizer.
Professional organizer Jeni Aron (a.k.a. the "Clutter Cowgirl") blazed into my life two years ago when my Queens apartment was in complete chaos. I'd been widowed for three years, and though I was slowly going through my late wife's belongings (she'd been quite the collector of musical instruments and electronic gadgets), I had barely made a dent. On top of that, my then 7-year-old son was rapidly outgrowing clothing and toys, my new partner was about to move in with us, and it felt like half the contents of my mother's jam-packed home had landed at my place after we'd moved her into assisted living! My two-bedroom apartment was bursting with stuff and nothing had a proper place.
I have never been comfortable with chaos and, in hindsight, I realize how paralyzed I was. I don't know how I'd ever have moved forward without Jeni's help. She recently met me at a cheerful coffee bar on Manhattan's Upper West Side where, over tea and muffins, she let me in on the organizing tricks she swears by.
Why do we often find ourselves stuck in a chaotic personal space after a traumatic event like the death of a loved one or a divorce?
Jeni: When your entire body and mind are consumed by grief, the idea of doing even a simple thing like a load of laundry seems inconsequential. You feel removed from reality. Remember, too, that when we experience a big loss we have often already been living in chaos and clutter. The traumatic experience makes it hard to see past that.
How do you know where to start?
Jeni: Make concrete things the first priority. Do you need a lawyer? Do you need to fill out paperwork for Social Security or life insurance benefits? Then set up a reasonable timeline for everything else. If it took ten years for your home to get clogged with clutter, you can't expect to unclutter it in a month. One great thing about hiring a professional organizer is you can set aside three or four hours a week to work with someone, they might give you a few homework assignments before they see you again, but the rest of the time you can just go back to your life.
How do you begin to organize sentimental items?
Jeni: Sentimental items are part of each personal journey. Items you keep should be associated with positive memories, not negative ones. I don't think a home should be a museum. You can find creative ways to honor your loved one, but still keep your space vibrant and alive. I advise my clients to pick one or two things that are truly special and showcase them.
What about assessing valuable items like jewelry, antiques, or collections?
Jeni: Often it's good to go to the source. If you inherit a collection of stamps or rare books, try contacting your loved-one's dealer. Ask that person for more resources if necessary. If you are faced with a closet of valuable designer clothes or handbags, try browsing resale websites like The RealReal or Poshmark to assess their value. If there's not a consignment store nearby where you can unload a bunch of clothes, consider hiring an Ebay professional. All of this takes time and you do need to weigh the value of your time against the potential monetary value of these items. If you've inherited a big item like a Chippendale buffet or a grand piano, you are going to have to hire an appraiser. Ask friends for recommendations. It's worth taking the time to find the right person.
So what about a joyous event like the birth of a child? People who have spent months doing all the right prep work like setting up the nursery or cooking and freezing meals ahead, often feel traumatized by suddenly finding their lives a huge tumultuous mess!
Jeni: You can never fully prepare for the sleep-deprivation, the complete change to your daily routine, and the well-meaning visitors who crowd your home with tons of baby presents! New parents can combat the chaos by setting a schedule for everything. Then try to do one small extra thing a day, like write a thank-you note or unwrap and put away a few presents.
Let's talk about making room for a new partner. How do we clear the way?
Jeni: I tell my single clients who are contemplating cohabitating with a new partner to literally envision welcoming that person into their space. Imagining how you would like to be welcomed into a new home will help you let go of the things, clutter, furniture, etc. that are standing in the way of that welcome.
Cohabitation requires an honest conversation between two people about the priorities and value of each person's belongings. If you can't compromise on a sofa or a lamp, you're probably going to have trouble compromising about bigger issues. The "pick your battle" strategy is often what makes a relationship work. And no one needs ten saucepans.
What's the most important thing your clients have taught you?
Jeni: They've taught me that bravery happens every day in the smallest of ways. They've taught me that I can let go, too.

In "A Rose For Emily" and "That Evening Sun" by William Faulkner, symbolism is used often and quite well. The symbolism used compares certain objects, metaphors, and sayings to environmental and social problems in the real world. Although a book is fiction, it can really relate things to the real world and shine a light upon those problems. As well as this, they may provide solutions to such problems. The symbols provided in each book can symbolize multiple things in themselves.
Faulkner uses Emily's house in "A Rose For Emily", the ditch in "That Evening Sun", and uses them in unique, similar, and creative ways making them easy to compare. In "A Rose For Emily", Faulkner uses the house a symbol of the American South in the following years of the Civil War. Emily's house also could serve as a symbol of how, in that time period, the infrastructure of the American South was based upon slave labor. Although these are the basis of what the house represents, it much more shows the power of the society in which she lives. This society gave Emily no other option but to assume and progress through the roles of daughter, wife, and finally, mother. This society made her feel like she never had another path other than so. This is similar in today's society; people like to put others into a place in which the people think they fit and function greatly in.
In "That Evening Sun", Faulkner again uses symbolism in a unique way. He uses the ditch in the story to symbolize racism and segregation in the south. In the story Nancy constantly has to cross the ditch to get to the house at which she works and cleans. The homeowners were a white family and Nancy was black. This makes the symbolism much more clear than before. The ditch between the two houses represents the line people drew between whites and blacks. The two ethnicities wanted nothing to do with one another. In today's society, the line between races is erased, but to an extent. There is much less profiling and racism; however, there are still select people which are like this, but it is shamed upon more now.
In the two short stories, Faulkner uses symbolism in different styles and ways, being able to switch up his writing from time to time. In some ways, though, these examples can be considered one in the same. One similarity between the two would be that both symbols have one thing to do with society and how it views people. A difference would be maybe that one shows us what society thinks about certain individual people versus the other being about a set group or race. Another similarity is that both symbolize a problem within not only the past, but also in today's ongoing and everyday society.
To finish, many things you may not notice are symbols, but once you realize them, they can become a deep meaning to you or any other individual. Faulkner uses his symbols in a subtle way and as they begin to get noticed, they hold an impact on several social and environmental problems.. In "A Rose For Emily", he tries to show that society holds people to a high standard and expectation. In "That Evening Sun", he basically says that racism or segregation keeps people separated from each other. So in the end, the two are easily comparable and clear to understand separately as well.

Re: [RC] [RC] Fear when mounting/dismounting - Rae Callaway
I had a pony (13.3h) when I was young and I taught him to stand for me to do that. I'd leap up, we'd rear, then take off at a full blown gallop. He was a great pony. I could not imagine doing that to a horse today. I keep visualizing the horse kicking out as I ran up to leap -- ouch!

Alright, so ill start with the good news.. pretty sure im only 2 weeks off finishing my course! .. ive been pretty much clear for 4 weeks now, very happy about that. Derm said if i was still clear when i see him next, he would more than likely take me off.
Bad news is i havent been taking it properly this last week or so, i even had a 3 days break off it.. i really didnt want to do that, i wanted to finish the course properly, but the side effect of the edges of my mouth is too much.
Its literally burning through the skin, ive tried moisturizing, cortisone creams, called my derm twice about it.. there's nothing i can do. Its been the worst side effect ive had throughout my whole course, now comming to the end of it im really struggling to stay on top of it.
I guess im hoping ive done enough to stay clear, i took proper dose for over 3.5 months .. until i had to lower my dose a bit..
So yeah, 14 days to go .. got to admit im pretty excited.. hope to god i stay clear though, ill take as much of this accutane as my body will let me for this last 2 weeks and hopefully it will all be ok.

Espen Kvålsvoll
Espen Kvålsvoll's practice deals with a form of gathering. Gathering different pictures, objects, architectural elements and ornamentation. In recent years, his studio practice has isolated these objects and elements from their context and environment. His painting practice brings them together as compositions, removing their function and reducing them to a means of exploration, imagery, form and movement. He also works with expanded painting in the form of sculpture and installation. It is the materiality of the painting that is the starting point, the materiality of the surface as narrative traces of execution, treatment and preparation of a pictorial space. Recent projects are based on sources where he has used elements and ornaments from churches built in different time periods, interior objects, decorative interior, fences, spiral staircases from commercial sites, snapshots from his phone, internet, sketches, elements and pieces torn out of from buildings, houses and street surroundings. He would then process the material through drawing or by having the physical objects present in his studio.
He tends to explore different notions of imagery through various motifs in objects and pictures; ornamental, decorative, rigid and organic. By rotating, dismantling and reassembling the objects he forges associations and connections from different periods, environments and symbolism, while further abstracting them by the use of colour. By removing them from their context, it becomes a form of mapping objects, comparing differences and similarities.
Elise Macmillan
Elise Macmillan (b. California, USA, lives in Oslo) works with acoustic and electronic media. She performs and composes as EMACS, slicing and interweaving melodies into ghostly fragments and flexible rhythms. She studied computer music at Stanford University and Hardingfele in Telemark. Her new works combining strings and electronics with virtual and human voices will be recorded during residencies at the Embassy of Foreign Artists, Geneva and EMS Elektronmusikstudion, Stockholm
Eva Rosa Hollup Roald
Eva Rosa Hollup Roald's practice is primarily based in video, text, sound and photography. Thematically, her work is based upon various perceptions of reality, in connection with specific parts of the wild nature and/ or segments of society and individuals' realities. She completed her MFA at Oslo Academy of the Arts in the spring of 2019. Her masters project was a video installation (Farm) made in collaboration with Ye Gyoung Choi. The project depicts the island Sleneset in the north of Norway, and the nearby industrial salmon farms. The series of photographs Displaced Settlement (2015- to date), a project depicting displaced algae, is also set on the island of Sleneset. The upcoming year will comprise of working on the script of a fictional film, research and adaptation of two documentary projects; one about memories, the other about avalanches. In addition to this she will continue working on a longer piece of text as well as continuation of the series Displaced Settlement.
Kim Laybourn
Kim Laybourn is a Danish artist, educated form the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, from where he holds a Bachelor and Master degree. Laybourn work in installation, sound, text, music, sculpture, photography, print, animation, CGI and video.
Louise Jacobs
Louise Jacobs(b.1987, Oslo) holds a BFA from The Rietveld Academy and has since studied at the Staedelschule in Frankfurt under the tutelage of Douglas Gordon. With a recent MA from The Oslo Academy of The Arts, Jacobs is currently a FKDS atelier candidate at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo. She works primarily with biographical desires, everyday material and verbal hallucinations through performance, text and sculpture, where emotions as site and labour can propel towards an artistic production of vulnerabilities.
Nathalie Fuica Sanchez
Nathalie Fuica Sanchez (b. 1985, Bulgaria) works with sculpture and installation where materials commonly used are textiles, clay, wood and ready-mades.
The starting point for an idea often consists of personal experiences and fragments from varied sources.
The most prominent aspects of the arts are thoughts on various forms of function, the formation of informal viewing and distribution platforms, the pursuit of positivity and the belief that art can be used as a health-promoting tool.
Niels Munk Plum
Niels Munk Plum (b. 1992, Denmark) works with staging narratives through performance, sound, installation and text. He has shown work in both Salzburg, Lisbon and Copenhagen. Recently in Norway he has been performing at Destiny's Gratinée at Kunstnernes Hus (2019) After School Special at Bergen Kunsthall (2018) and at Sexy Bydel at the Oslo Culture Night (2017).
Vilje Vestenfor
Vilje Vestenfor (b.1989, Oslo) holds a master from Oslo Academy of Fine Art and a bachelor from Bergen Academy of Art and Design. Through text, video, installation and performance she piece together fragments and create new contexts and narratives situated in the murky area between fact and fiction. Inner psychological states are linked to external circumstances such as the media reality, consumer culture and the self-optimization wave. In her work she thematize the conscious and unconscious strategies people develop to keep the sense of meaninglessness at an arm's length.
