Use of Constructor Assignment Help

What is the use of constructor?

In polymorphism where poly means “many” and morphism means “forms” therefore the polymorphism means many forms. It is the skill of an entity to be in many forms.

Polymorphism in object oriented programming follows a rule where a parent class can access an object of a child class. An entity that have more than one method is considered a polymorphic object. Polymorphism works through a reference variable in order to achieve an objects you can communicate the methods through reference variables which is only in one type and cannot be changeable.

It is also be assigned as a class or as an interface. Whereas the constructor is one of the type of polymorphism while the other types of polymorphism are method overloading, method overridden. Inside the constructor you can initialize the data members of the class. Since the constructor is called whenever you create an object, you can define static variables in your class and manipulate those inside the constructor.

Suppose you want to know how many objects have been created in your program. What you can do is keep is declare a static variable as "static int count;" in your class definition. Increment the value of count in the constructor.

Now whenever you create an object, constructor is called and the value of count is incremented. In the end of program you can just print the value of count and you will know how many objects are created

It an object oriented programming constructor is a class or structure of a special method. It is an instant method and has the same class name and used to set the values of the members of an object.

Constructor may be in the form of default constructor and user define constructor. Constructor are not known as explicitly. All classes derived from the hierarchy and inherits from a parent class. The sequence of all the classes constructor call the other constructor in parent class and then derived class.

It does not inherited. It is a built-in method of a class to instantiate a class object and it can be many but different parameters is called constructor overloading.

You can initialize constructor with a same name of a class otherwise your constructor will not be created properly. Public Animal (), Public Animal (int a) is the example of constructor overloading. By using the access modifier constructor can be declared and right access modifier which mandatory have a constructor. Whenever the access modifier is not shown in the class there for it means a compiler supplies default.

IncI alpha R64 drd-ll transferred these vectors 1,000 times less efficiently than did the IncP plasmids. pDP1, pCG30, and pEG920 could be mobilized from B. uniformis donors to both E. coli and Bacteroides recipients by a conjugative Bacteroides Tcr (Tcr ERL) element which was originally found in a clinical Bacteroides fragilis strain (B. fragilis ERL). However, the shuttle vector pE5-2, which contains pB8-51 cloned in a restriction site that prevents its mobilization by IncP or IncI alpha plasmids, also was not mobilized at detectable frequencies from Bacteroides donors by the Tcr ERL element. The mobilization frequencies of pCG30, pDP1, and pEG920 by the Tcr ERL element in B. uniformis donors to E. coli recipients was about the same as those to isogenic B. uniformis recipients. Transfer of the shuttle vectors from B. uniformis donors to E. coli occurred at the same frequencies when the matings were done aerobically or anaerobically. Growth of the B. uniformis donors in tetracycline (1 microgram/ml) prior to conjugation increased the mobilization frequencies of the vectors to both E. coli and Bacteroides recipients 50 to 100 times.

Limiting Sound Transference In Guest Rooms & Staterooms

Download the design guide that discusses harnessing sound transference in hotel rooms and cruise cabins.

One of the goals of a guest room or stateroom is to distract guests from remembering that they are sharing close quarters with hundreds of other people. Thankfully, there are ways of designing guest room audio to address this issue and minimize the impact. Commericial soundbars can help limit sound transference and improve the guest experience on both sides of the wall.

Topics include:

  • The impact of sound transference
  • Directionality of sound
  • Limiting maximum volume
  • And much more

Reign leaves gaps

The Reign series finale started with Mary’s baby still missing after Lord Darnley kidnapped him. James came back and found the baby.

Meanwhile, Catherine made a deal with a witch to have Nicole killed. Nicole apparently was allergic to nuts. She ate soup that was thickened with nuts and Nicole died in Henry’s arms. He brought her back to the castle and he and Henry almost came to blows. Catherine was able to twist everything around so that the brothers realized Spain was to blame and they bonded over Nicole’s death.

In England, Elizabeth was facing war with Spain and discovered that the war would be costly and could make her more susceptible to an invasion from Scotland. She also killed Jane, her servant, who she discovered killed Lord Blackburn at Lord Narcisse’s bidding.

Later, Mary and Lord Bothwell decided that the best way to protect her son from Lord Darnley was to kill Darnley. Bothwell and a couple of guys, who later turned against him, blew up the house Darnley was hiding out in, but Darnley survived. Bothwell and Darnley fought and Bothwell strangled Darnley.

Catherine and Narcisse went to see the witch about payment and she drugged them. The witch told Catherine that her sons’ plan to attack Spain would fail and Catherine would be the scapegoat unless she had her daughter Margot at her side. Catherine went to Margot and told her it was time for Margot to come home.

Elizabeth received the letter from Mary in which Mary renounced her claim to Elizabeth’s throne. She then called off her engagement and prepared to go to war with Spain.

Bothwell then explained to Mary that their scheme to get rid of Darnley didn’t go as planned. Knox showed up with the two guys who were with Bothwell and had Mary and Bothwell arrested for Darnley’s murder.

We then jumped to 21 years later and Mary’s execution. The writers gave Mary a happy ending by reuniting her with Francis in death.

What the show skipped was that Mary had been on the run for a long time. She and Bothwell married after he had kidnapped her (not exactly the romance shown in Reign). Her marriage to Bothwell only fed the charges that she was involved in Darnley’s murder. He was eventually exiled and imprisoned until his death.

Mary escaped from Lochleven Castle and raised an army, but she was defeated and fled to England to seek help from her cousin Elizabeth. Instead of helping her, Elizabeth imprisoned Mary for 18 years. Mary wrote many letters to her son, James, asking for his help, but her letters were ignored. Elizabeth found out about letters Mary had been writing to Anthony Babington who had been plotting to kill Elizabeth and put Mary on the English throne. Elizabeth used those letters to justify Mary’s execution.

After all of the years spent fighting over each other’s thrones, Mary’s son became king of both countries because Elizabeth died without an heir. Also, they are buried near each other at Westminster Abbey.

What aggravated me the most about the series finale was that the writers didn’t say what happened to Catherine, Charles, and Henry. In case you are wondering, Charles was already dead from tuberculosis by the time Mary was executed. Henry, who had become king of Poland, abandoned the Polish throne to ascend to the throne in France. Catherine still served as regent until she died in January 1589. Henry was murdered eight months later by a friar.

CW Network renews all of its shows

In a surprising move, the CW Network renewed all of the shows that have aired this season, including Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, its lowest rated show.

I watch a lot of the CW shows, which means I’m happy. I love Arrow (my favorite show), The Flash, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is growing on me.

I still watch The Vampire Diaries and, although this season has been one of the better ones, I can’t help but wonder when this show is finally going to end. Every year, I think this show can’t possibly survive for another season and then it’s renewed. Next season will be the eighth for The Vampire Diaries. What more can the writers do?

This season, the writers seem to be wrapping up storylines. We’ve jumped three years in time and it appears couples who should be together finally are. If the hunter is killed at the end of this season, I don’t know where the writers go next.

I’m glad Reign was renewed for a fourth season. I realize it’s not historically accurate, but the writing is excellent and this show has a lot of life left in it. I just wish others would see what a gem Reign is.

Did the CW’s renewal of all of its shows surprise you?

My TV shows are back

I enjoyed sharing some of my vacation photos over the last few weeks. But fall is here and that means my TV shows are returning. Gotham, Once Upon a Time, The Goldbergs, and Fresh Off the Boat already premiered.Remotes

This week, my favorite CW shows are back. I’m looking forward to:

  • Arrow – How long will Oliver Queen lead a normal life with Felicity?
  • The Vampire Diaries – What will Damon do without Elena?
  • Reign – Will Francis tell Mary he’s dying?
  • The Flash – How will the writers explain Barry being The Flash when Dr. Wells disappeared from existence in the season finale?

As is the case every TV season, there are a lot of new shows premiering. I’ve started watching The Muppets and so far it’s been worth catching every Tuesday night.

What shows are you looking forward to? What shows are you currently watching?

My TV Shows Are Coming Back

I love the fall. The weather gets cooler,the leaves change color, and best of all, my shows return.  If you follow my blog, you know I watch a lot of TV. Here are some of the returning shows I’m looking forward to:

  • Once Upon a Time – Will Storybrooke be completely frozen?
  • Arrow – Will Olicity finally happen?
  • The Vampire Diaries – What happened to Bonnie and Damon after the bright light?
  • Reign – What will happen between Mary and Francis now that he knows that Lola is having his baby?
  • Hart of Dixie – Will we see a Zoey and Wade reunion?
  • The 100 – Will Finn and Bellamy miraculously survive and return for Season 2?
  • The Goldbergs – What great 1980s’ moments will we get to relive?

As is the case every TV season, there are a lot of new shows premiering. Of all the new shows, I’m most looking forward to The Flash and Gotham. I have high hopes for both shows and hope I’m not let down.

What shows are you looking forward to?

Why Reign Deserved Early Renewal

I love period shows. I didn’t miss one episode of The Tudors during the four years it was on. When I heard about Reign, I was beyond excited. A show about Mary, Queen of Scots, what could be better than that?

After watching the premiere, I admit I was disappointed by the lack of historical accuracy, not even the costumes were right. If that’s important to you, then this show isn’t for you. However, if you’re like me and can get past the historical accuracy issue by getting sucked into the drama of which there is plenty, then it’s worth your time to tune in.

Megan Follows, who I remember from Anne of Green Gables, does a fantastic job as the Queen of France. Much like an evil queen in a fairy tale, she is able to create different poisons to kill people who get in her way. The addition of Nostradamus and his visions makes the show all that more intriguing.

But of course, the love triangle between Sebastian, Mary, and Francis is what draws me in every week. In reality, Mary married Francis and I doubt there was that much drama around it. Chances are Mary and Francis did their duty and that was the end of it.

Reign takes this part of Mary’s history and makes it exciting. Up until the last couple of episodes, I thought Mary was certain to end up with Francis and Sebastian didn’t stand a chance, despite the many meaningful moments they had shared. However, Sebastian and Mary seem to have a real connection. As a romance hero, Sebastian is perfect. Unlike Francis, he has no loyalty to the crown. His loyalty is solely to Mary, which he has made clear several times. He will fight for, and protect, Mary.

Francis hasn’t always been there for Mary. He struggles with doing what’s right for the crown and doing what he should for Mary. For this reason, I can see why Mary would find Sebastian attractive.

I’m sure the writers will have Mary and Francis get back together at some point because that’s historically accurate, but I’m going to enjoy the ride along the way.

Are you watching Reign? What do you think about the show?

Are Midseason Finales Effective?

Back in the day, television shows ran from September through May. Occasionally, there were reruns, but we watched until the season finale. Now, over the last couple of years, network executives have come up with the idea of the midseason finale, which is meant to keep you hooked until your show returns.

Is this effective? It depends on the show. Here’s my look at some of the midseason finales for shows that I watch.

First up is The Vampire Diaries. In the midseason finale, Stefan saved Elena from Wes’s clutches. However, they didn’t kill him, which makes absolutely no sense to me. Wes was torturing vampires and almost turned Elena into a crazed vampire who would have thirsted for vampire blood. The only plausible reason for keeping Wes alive is so the writers can continue to torture us with the Augustine storyline during the second half of the season.

Damon also went down the self-destructive road again and broke up with Elena because, of course, no one could possibly love Damon. Maybe I would have cared if I could see Damon and Elena together. But it’s obvious Elena belongs with Stefan.

It also appears that we will say goodbye to Katherine in the 100th episode. I don’t believe it. There’s still the traveler’s spell so I believe Katherine will live on in someone else.

Was this midseason finale enough to bring me back in January? If I were a new fan of the show, probably not. I’ll be watching in January simply because I’ve watched the last four seasons.

Reign left us with many questions. At the end, Mary rode off with Sebastian because of Nostradamus’s vision. Was Nostradamus right or did he incorrectly interpret his vision? After all, while he saw that one of Mary’s friends would die, he didn’t see that it was Clarissa who would kill Aylee. Even though he said that Mary would be the death of Francis, could his vision have meant Francis would die if Mary left?

Now that Mary took off with Sebastian, will they end up together? They did kiss and Mary didn’t seem completely opposed to the idea of Sebastian, even though she claims she loves Francis.

The Queen successfully got Mary out of the picture for now. The Queen will definitely be up to no good during the second half of the season as she sets her sights on getting rid of Kenna. She failed at poisoning Kenna during the midseason finale. What will the Queen do next?

Was this enough to bring me back in January? Yes. I’ve been hooked on Mary and Francis’s love story from the beginning. They keep me coming back week after week. I can’t wait to see if they get back together during the second half of the season.

Now we get to my favorite midseason finales.

Arrow ended with Barry Allen being turned into The Flash. We also saw that Oliver’s friend from the island, Slade, is still alive and is Season 2’s villain. As if that wasn’t exciting enough for one episode, Roy Harper was injected with the serum that either kills its subjects or makes them super strong. It appears Roy will be super strong, setting him up as Oliver’s sidekick. Additionally, Oliver got his mask.

What does this mean for the second half of the season? I think it’s a great set up. Oliver will face his friend in what I’m sure will be an epic fight. Barry Allen’s role is left open. Will The Flash have a role in Arrow or have we seen the last of him?

Of course, we can’t forget that Malcolm Merlyn is alive. Oliver believes he’s dead. Will Oliver find out the truth or will that be the showdown for Season 3?

Was this enough to make me eager for Arrow’s return in January? Most definitely. This is how midseason finales should be done. I’m excited for Arrow’s return.

Once Upon a Time had me hooked from the beginning with Pan’s evil plan to unleash the curse over Storybrooke again. How could they stop the curse? Well, in the first five minutes of this show, Pan’s shadow was destroyed, Tinkerbell’s wings were restored, and the Blue Fairy came back from the dead. Then they had to return Henry to his body, which Rumpelstiltskin took care of in hopes of killing his father, Peter Pan. Only, Rumpelstiltskin discovered that to kill Peter Pan, he would have to sacrifice his own life, which he did in the most shocking moment of the show. I was glad to see Pan go because I was over Pan a few episodes ago, but I was sad to see Rumpelstiltskin go.

Finally, to save everyone from the curse, Regina had to say goodbye to Henry. That was Regina’s price to pay. The curse required everyone to go back to where they came from, except Emma who had to stay behind to take care of Henry because he was born in the real world and couldn’t go back with everyone else. Because of the curse, Storybrooke was destroyed and Emma’s memories were wiped clean. Regina gave Emma fake memories so that Emma and Henry would believe that they had always been together.

In one last surprise, the show jumped ahead one year with Emma and Henry living in New York. Hook showed up at their door and told Emma that her family was in danger. Emma didn’t remember him and thought he was just some crazy guy. How did Hook get back to the real world? I hope that’s answered when the show returns because, according to Regina, no one would be able to return.

Will I be watching when Once Upon a Time returns in March? Yes. Again, this is a great example of how a midseason finale should be done. There were surprises along the way and a great set up for the second half of the season.

So do I like midseason finales? Yes. I think they can be exciting if done well. It beats going through the entire season with intermittent reruns until you get to the exciting episodes in May.

What was your favorite midseason final?

line the forest, cut through
the trees for the forest.

In the forest the wolves
were small & there was
small music & I danced
with the girl
in the forest & I wore
red & she wore white
or black & the shape
her mouth made when
she said mouth made me
want to kiss her, her

down, down, lie still.

& still

Jet Grind Radio (GBA) Coverart
Jet Set Radio Advance is a Game boy Advance game in the Jet Set Radio series. It was released in 2001 in Japan, and has the same plot, character, and setting as Jet Set Radio, but was developed by Vicarious Visions instead of Smilebit, the developers of the original. The game was published by THQ.

This game was released on June 26, 2003 in North America and February 20, 2004 in Europe.

Jet Set Radio Advance Screenshot

Gameplay screenshot of Jet Set Radio Advance.

Like in the Dreamcast version, the player assumes the role of the GG's, a gang of graffiti-spraying youths, led by Beat (who is also the first playable character). The Rokkaku group and the Tokyo-to construction conglomerate have teamed up to clamp down on the "rudies", the game's term for the law-breaking teenagers. The object of the game is to "Tag" certain parts of the surroundings before the time limit runs out or "before the indomitable array of cops arrives".

Comparison With Console Version

The GBA version of Jet Set Radio is very different compared to the Dreamcast and HD releases, as the GBA is technically inferior. However, while many compromises were made to fit the GBA format, this version also sports some features not found in the console versions.

  • Soundtrack was reduced to 6 samples of tracks from the full game. Audio quality was reduced drastically and many voice samples are absent. The tracks have also been greatly reduced in length.
  • Grind Square and Bantam Street have been "combined" into a single Grind City level. Consequently, both levels of Chapter 2 take place in the same level with only minimal differences in tag spots and enemy placement.
  • The Tokyo-to Jet levels are still accessible in Chapter 2. In the console game, Chapter 2 is locked to Grind City.
  • Moving cars that the player can hold onto only appear in the steep section of Shibuya-cho, unlike the console version where they appear throughout Shibuya-cho and Benten-cho.
  • Many Graffiti Souls were moved to easier-to-reach locations.
  • After spraying a helicopter, it continues to launch missiles for a while, though erratically and not targeting the player specifically, unlike the console version in which it crashes to the ground and catches fire.
  • The game plays in an isometric perspective at all times, and the camera is not changeable. This is due to the GBA not supporting full 3D graphics, creating this need. When characters are under structures, they turn translucent to indicate the characters' position.
  • Captain Onishima's bullets and the tear gas deployed by the S.W.A.T. teams are more deadly, causing much more damage in the GBA version.
  • No bonus is given for performing a Turn Trick.
  • The Final Stage is completely different and lacks its own music (or Goji himself for that matter).
  • Tab is again called Corn, as he is in the Japanese version of Jet Set Radio.
  • A Retry option is implemented; it allows the player to instantly restart the current level or mission without having to exit to the Garage and come back. A Sleep option is also present which places the GBA in sleep mode to conserve battery life.
  • The game only has 3 save slots, but they show the percentage of completion, which is not the case in other versions.
  • The Radio (sound player) option can be accessed from the pause menu at any time, and allows manual selection of the music track being played in the current level. This also works in the Garage.
  • No characters can be seen in the garage unless the player is selecting one. When selecting one, they are all standing and dancing, unlike the console version where they are in various poses.
  • A multiplayer mode is implemented which cannot be found on any other version.
  • Rival gang members can be knocked down during chases, making it easier to tag them. However, touching them, even if they are knocked down, will also knock down the player.
  • During racing missions, the pause menu shows the route the player must take to the graffiti tag, unlike the console version which only shows the position of the rival instead.
  • Boosting can be done as long as the button is held, unlike the console versions, which have a cooldown period after 5 skates.
  • The custom graffiti editor only allows for modification of a small-size graffiti, but is surprisingly much more robust than the console version's, with more advanced tools like shapes and the paint bucket.
  • Trick names are different.
  • Chapter names are also different, based on time instead of characters. For example, Chapter 1 is called "In the Streets of Tokyo-to" instead of simply "GG", Chapter 2 is "Six Months Earlier" as opposed to "Cube and Combo", and Chapter 3 is "Present Day" as opposed to "Golden Rhinos".
    • Furthermore, according to these titles, Chapter 2 is set "six months earlier", as opposed to two months, which is what Combo claims in Jet Set Radio.
  • DJ Professor K is not voiced at all. In addition, some of his text dialogue is new and/or rewritten, and some scenes are shifted around, usually played at the opening of a level as opposed to after. He is also a playable character after unlocking him by beating the game.

Not all tracks from the Dreamcast version are present. One main difference is that the tracks do not change automatically meaning that a track select option has been implemented. The Tracks are also shorter :"That's Enough" is 35 seconds long in the GBA version as opposed to its original 4:25, for example. All the tracks are by Hideki Naganuma (except for "Everybody Jump Around" by Richard Jacques).

  • "Humming the Bassline" 0:32
  • "Let Mom Sleep" 0:42
  • "Sneakman" 0:40
  • "That's Enough" 0:35
  • "Sweet Soul Brother" 0:30
  • "Everybody Jump Around" 1:00

The Game Boy Advance version of Jet Set Radio received positive reviews. It was praised for being faithful to the console versions, in addition to adding new features not found in any other version.

  • If the player lets the opening company logo screens progress by themselves, the Sega sound will be the familiar chorus from many Genesis games (like the Sonic the Hedgehog series). However, if the player presses buttons to scroll through them faster, the Sega Scream is played instead.

The Elon Musk approach to nuclear power costs

Recently, I read an interesting piece about the reasoning process used by the man behind Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk: first principles reasoning. In this mode of thinking, espoused by Aristotle among others, one begins from the “first principles” or foundations of the problem to make the case. Musk himself has used the method to calculate the minimum costs of rockets and batteries respectively based on nothing more than their material costs: if a rocket or a battery contains such and such amounts of such and such materials, and the market prices for those materials are such, then the minimum cost for the rocket or battery can be easily calculated. As a result, Musk says he figured out that in principle a rocket needs to cost only about 2 percent of what it costs now; and battery packs could be had for $80 per kilowatt hour instead of current $600. In the article, Musk makes an important point: analogies and comparisons to what exist are fundamentally limited approaches, and in analysis they should be supplemented with other approaches, such as first principles thinking.

Which is what I’m now going to do to analyse what nuclear power might cost, Elon Musk style. The accepted wisdom, certainly among anti-nuclear activists, is that nuclear power is expensive and will forever remain so. (No matter that their preferred alternatives are often more expensive, when all the costs for equivalent end result are tallied.) This is somewhat puzzling, since in principle nuclear power shouldn’t be that expensive: while it requires large facilities, these facilities can pump out enormous quantities of energy from very, very small material inputs, with very low volumes of waste that can be controlled relatively easily.

So let’s begin the first principles analysis and start thinking how cheap nuclear power could be. As a starting point, I’ve used a widely available Environmental Product Declaration from Swedish Forsmark nuclear power plant. It conveniently lists the material and energy inputs required in building, operating and dismantling a nuclear power plant, distributing its electricity and disposing of its waste. Furthermore, it provides the details in an ISO 14000 certified manner per kilowatt hour produced (see Table 7 on p. 22). After some hours googling for raw material prices and making some conservative assumptions whenever exact data was difficult to find, I was able to come up with an answer:

Price floor of electricity could be as low as 2.1 US cents per kilowatt hour, or $21/MWh (19.2 €/MWh).

Certainly not too cheap to meter, but even if we throw in something to account for the unexpected, Muskian nuclear energy still comes out as, well, rather cheap. (For the spreadsheet I used in the calculation; Materials required for nuclear electricity and their costs, XLSX spreadsheet. Feel free to play around with it, although dropping a comment here would be nice if you use it to publish somewhere.)

Now, of course this is somewhat of an absurd calculation, but as Elon Musk himself noted, first principles reasoning is still an informative exercise. It is hard to believe nuclear electricity could be much cheaper than this; and one can suspect prices very much above this are a result from factors not inherent in the technology itself. Indeed, as a research review commissioned by none other than Friends of the Earth UK found out (PDF link), nuclear electricity costs are heavily dependent on terms of financing: using lower discount rates that Her Majesty’s Treasury recommends for decisions that have long-term societal implications — like climate change mitigation — the cost of nuclear electricity could possibly be halved from current estimates. Although policies required for this to happen are not realistic right now, such calculations illustrate how electricity costs are very much influenced by factors other than technology itself.

Furthermore, first principles reasoning provides a valuable comparison to figures thrown around by Elon Musk and others. If batteries have a price floor of $80 per kWh, and — I’m making assumptions here — solar electricity has a price floor of $10 $0.1 per kWh produced, the lowest possible cost for equivalent service from a solar panel-battery combination would still be anything from $30 to $90 $20 to $80 or more, depending on assumptions on how much energy storage is required. (Thanks to Proteos for catching this very dumb mistake.)

Without technological innovation, these price floors are unlikely to budge and about as unlikely to be reached in practice. When unabated coal electricity can be had in practice for $30 per megawatt hour, it is easy to see why there is still need for more innovation so that even poor countries can provide enough power for their peoples without having to resort to fossil fuels.

Psychotherapy and Subtle Energy Services

Discover the Art of Meaningful Connections with Your Subtle Energy Systems.

Inner Dialogue

I offer several types of services to match your style of processing subtle feelings and thoughts during our therapy session. Each session includes clear instructions on how to move past your current issues to receive the insights you need to maintain a positive and balanced outlook in your life.

Transpersonal Psychology

This service will help you discover a deeper level of wisdom already residing in your consciousness. Each session is designed to reveal what type of psychological growth lesson you are experiencing right now.  I will teach you how to access your subtle energy fields and personal intuition to receive the answers you need.

Our spiritual understanding of who we are depends on recognizing the unique way our subtle energy moves through our chakras. Each chakra radiates a specific type of energy signature and movement.  I can help you identify the subtle differences between each chakra to keep the energy moving in the proper direction.

Intuitive & Spiritual

Our ability to receive clear intuition and spiritual recognition go hand in hand with recognizing where our personal biases get in the way. Most people are not aware of how to separate their truth from the situation at hand. In this session, I will help you get in touch with your natural self-expression which will make it easier for you to discern your truth from others.

Balancing Nervous
Energy System

Our nervous system is designed to carry multiple levels of information at the same time. When we experience trauma or prolonged stress, our nervous system remains trapped in the fight, freeze or flee survival response. I can sense where the shock is located and can restore your nervous system to your body’s original state of balanced emotions and physical equilibrium.

Reiki & Alternative
Energy Services

There are so many ways to access the body’s subtle energy system. Reiki is one of my favorites for anyone who has not received any energy work. Reiki is a gentle hands-on treatment that helps the client to relax and feel comfortable with who they are. The possibilities for expanding your self-awareness is endless. See my complete list of training for more options.

Akashic Records

Akashic Records offers a unique way of aligning your human nature with your spiritual purpose. The information I receive during our session is a narrative gesture in guiding your awareness of what views and behaviors no longer work for you and why. Akashic Records has a beautiful way of encouraging you to move into your heart center at a pace that is appropriate for you.

Closing Guarantee

Closing Guarantee

We'll close on time or pay the seller $10,000 1

Help get an advantage in multiple-offer scenarios!

You may have heard about our Prosperity Buyer Advantage program, which helps borrowers to get much of the home financing process out of the way and obtain a commitment letter before searching for a home.2

A commitment letter can set your offer apart from other offers a seller may be considering, but even that may not be enough to land the deal.

That's why we’ve decided to take a BIG step and also offer the Prosperity Closing Guarantee. Check it out!

The Prosperity Closing Guarantee:

  • Qualified clients obtain a Prosperity Buyer Advantage commitment letter.
  • Find a property and submit the commitment letter along with closing guarantee.
  • When all loan program conditions are met, we guarantee an on-time closing,
  • OR Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC will pay the seller $10,000!

1. Prosperity Closing Guarantee is only available on Buyer’s Advantage-designated, conventional, FHA and VA loans approved by Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC in writing prior to execution of fully ratified sales contract. Prosperity Closing Guarantee is NOT applicable on renovation loan products, loans for the purchase of cooperative housing units, or loans involving any sort of bond, down payment assistance mortgage credit certificate, or any other municipal or housing authority program. For loans from Veterans Affairs (VA loans), acceptable appraisal must be received and approved by Prosperity at least 10 business days prior to closing or loan is not eligible for Guarantee. The Commitment Agreement has an expiration date. The Loan must close on or before the expiration date contained in the Commitment Agreement, unless the Borrower(s) qualifies for and is approved for an extension in writing. The Commitment Agreement issued to the Borrower(s) contains conditions that must be satisfied prior to closing. Subject to acceptable appraisal of property value at or above contract sales price. This Prosperity Closing Guarantee is subject to the satisfaction by the Borrower(s) of all Loan conditions identified in the Commitment Agreement as determined by and in the sole discretion of Prosperity. The Guarantee is not valid if either Borrower(s) or Seller terminate the purchase contract or otherwise choose not to consummate the transaction for any reason whatsoever. The Prosperity Closing Guarantee is invalid if there is a substantial change in the Borrower(s)’ financial condition or to the terms of either the Loan or the purchase contract between Borrower(s) and Seller.

2. Prosperity Buyer Advantage is not a loan approval. A Commitment Letter is based on information and documentation provided by you and a review of your credit report. The interest rate and type of mortgage used to approve you for a specified loan amount is subject to change, which may also change the terms of approval. The interest rate cannot be locked until your offer to purchase a property has been accepted. If the interest rate used for credit approval has changed, you may need to re-qualify. Information provided by you is subject to review and all other loan conditions must be met. After you have chosen a home and your offer has been accepted, final loan approval will be contingent upon obtaining an acceptable appraisal and title commitment. Additional documentation may be required.

The Questions That the Work Programme Charities Urgently Need to Answer

Ever since Iain Duncan Smith’s flagship Work Programme was rolled out in 2011, the charitable sub-contractors involved have attempted to dodge and wriggle their way out questions relating to the nastier elements of the scheme.

When the workfare row blew up at the beginning of the year, the members of Disability Works (DWUK), a consortium of disability charities formed to maximise income from the Work Programme, vehemently denied that they had anything to do with sanctioning disabled people’s benefits.  A statement on their website reads: “DWUK members are not directly involved in delivering sanctions – this action is taken by DWP via Job Centre Plus.”

This is a deliberate attempt to diminish their role in delivering punishing benefit sanctions.  Their statement also admits:  “If an individual does not attend a referral or other activity, as required, DWUK would be obliged to report that non-compliance to the Work Programme prime provider.”

This is known in DWP jargon as reporting a Compliance Breach.  It is true that the DWP then make the final decision about whether to sanction a claimants benefit or not – but for the charities to claim they have nothing to do with the process is a bit like saying the police have nothing to do with putting people in prison.  It’s clearly bullshit and the charities concerned should stop treating their users and the people who fund them as if we are stupid.

DWUK’s statement even gives an impression that they agree with sanctioning disabled people’s benefits in some cases.   Whilst they claim that they will make the DWP aware if they believe an individual is vulnerable, they say this information will mean simply that “DWP decision makers can then be provided with all the relevant facts to help them make the right decision.”

At a recent meeting discussing fighting welfare reform a senior figure from one of the DWUK charities seemed to agree with this, claiming that they always challenged sanctions they thought were ‘unreasonable’.  Clearly DWUK think it is sometime reasonable to force a disabled benefit claimant into absolute poverty and possible homelessness because they missed an appointment or failed to start a training course.

Yesterday the DWP quietly announced that from the 3rd December this year –  International Disabled People’s Day – claimants of sickness and disability benefits, who have been judged by their own doctors as unable to work, can now be sent on workfare.

Once again the big charities involved in the Work Programme started spinning away any responsibility for their role in this brutal new regime.  Mental health charity MIND released a statement saying“Mind does not believe that people who have been found unfit for work should be forced to undertake mandatory unpaid work placements.”

It’s worth pointing out that they only say they disagree with this practice, but don’t say that they will not be involved in carrying it out.

Substance misuse charity Addaction (@addactionuk) responded to the post yesterday on this blog with a flustered refutation complaining that they aren’t just in the Work Programme for the money.  On further questioning they went much further than MIND, stating categorically that they have not raised any Work Programme compliance breaches (although stopping short of saying they would refuse to – as this would doubtless place them in breach of contract).

They also state that they are not involved in referring unemployed claimants into any form of workfare, will not be involved in referring sickness and disability claimants into workfare and would refuse to monitor workfare attendance and compliance if the prime contractors (their poverty pimp bosses like A4e and G4S) sent claimants on mandatory workfare.

Which is fine.  Well done Addaction, except that it is only by good luck that they haven’t yet had to refer a compliance doubt and that by taking part in the Work Programme they give charitable cover to what is turning out to be the most brutal and inept welfare-to-work scheme ever devised.

Addaction also claim they didn’t sign the gagging order which many other Work Programme sub-contractors have claimed forbids them from even criticising the Work Programme.

Finally Salvation Army have re-iterated their workfare denial, despite several appeals on their website for companies and organisations who can offer work placements.  It is impossible to know just how ‘voluntary’ these work placements are in practice, but this blogpost gives an idea of what claimants sent to the Salvation Army on the Work Programme can expect:  http://quacking-plums.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/i-fucking-hate-work-programme.html

Homelessness charities this week released a report slamming the Work Programme and its impact on homeless people.  One of the first charities to pull out of the Work Programme was the Single Homeless Project (SHP), claiming the sanctions regime could force vulnerable people to have to “beg and steal to survive”.  St Mungos, one of the UK’s largest homelessness charities, have also pulled out of the scheme.  Their reason was far more pragmatic.  They weren’t making any money.

Oxfam have refused to be involved with the Work Programme, workfare and benefit sanctions – claiming it would be inappropriate for an anti-poverty organisation.

There is obviously disagreement within the third sector about the ethics of any charity involvement in this scheme and the devastation that benefit sanctions can bring to people’s lives.

Charities have a duty to be transparent.  Perhaps they are all like Addaction, tacitly playing along whilst not referring people for sanctions or sending claimants on workfare.  If so this makes Iain Duncan Smith look like the joke he is – talking tough for the television whilst behind the scenes Work Programme charitable contractors are subverting his every move.

The only way we can finally know the truth about the involvement of MIND (@MindCharity), Mencap (@mencap_charity), Scope (@scope), RNIB (@RNIB), Leonard Chesire Foundation (@LCDisability) and all the other Work Programme sub-contractors in workfare and benefit sanctions is if they will answer the following questions.

  1. How many and what has been the nature of any Compliance Breaches (your organisation) has raised with the Prime Contractors or the DWP?
  2. How many people have had benefits sanctioned as a result of Compliance Breaches raised by (your organisation)?
  3. Would (your organisation) refuse to raise Compliance Doubts in defiance of their contractual agreement with the DWP and Prime Contractors as Work Programme sub-contractors?
  4. Does (your organisation) have a strategy in place to support Work Programme participants who have had benefits sanctioned due to compliance breaches and if so what is it?
  5. Is (your organisation) involved in mandating JSA* claimants to ‘work experience’ or ‘voluntary work’?
  6. Will (your organisation) be involved in mandating ESA WRAG** claimants to ‘work experience’ or ‘voluntary work’?
  7. If the Prime Contractors choose to mandate Work Programme participants with (your organisation) to some form of unpaid work will (your organisation) refuse to monitor these placements and report Compliance Breaches.
  8. Did (your organisation) agree as part of their Work Programme sub-contract that they will not criticise the Work Programme, meaning that (your organisation) cannot campaign against forced unpaid work being implemented for thiose on unemployment, sickness or disability benefits?
  9. Will (your organisation) be actively campaigning against forced unpaid work for sick and disabled claimants in the ESA WRAG group?

Charitable organisations are now at the heart of all mandatory work placements which must be able to demonstrate ‘community benefit’.  Along with workfare for sick and disabled claimants, unlimited workfare is being planned for those leaving the Work Programme and entering the Community Action Programme.  A fierce and co-ordinated response from the larger charities could kills this form of workfare stone dead.

The question is whose  side are they on?  Will they stand with disabled, unemployed or unwell people who are already struggling desperately due to the vicious welfare cuts?  Or will they stand on the side of Iain Duncan Smith and the DWP?

* JSA means the unemployment benefit Jobseekers Allowance
**ESA WRAG means  claimants of the sickness and disability benefit Employment Support Allowance who have been placed in the Work Related Activity Group due to being assessed as being able to work at some point in the future.

Join in with the Week of Action Against Workfare Charities beginning on December 8th.  Actions already announced in Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Brighton and Liverpool:  http://antiworkfare.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/week-of-action-against-workfare_29.html

Scoping Out The Workfare Exploiters

Yesterday Boycott Workfare called for people to contact the charity Scope as part of the week of action against workfare.

Once more people picked up the phones, or took to social networking sites, to demand that Scope refuse to have any more to do with forced, unpaid labour.

This led to Scope issuing a furious denial, claiming that Boycott Workfare were attacking Scope’s use of volunteers.  This was far from the case.  Scope are involved in providing Mandatory Work Activity (MWA) placements in their shops.  These are four week full time workfare placements which are inflicted on unemployed people deemed by the Jobcentre to not be trying hard enough to find work.  There is anecdotal evidence of Mandatory Work Activity being used as a punishment should someone fail to ‘volunteer’ for other workfare schemes such as Work Experience.

Whilst Scope claim all their workfare workers are ‘volunteers’ the evidence suggests this is far from the case.  A recent press release from the DWP hailed a Scope charity shop which had conscripted a ‘reluctant’ workfare worker:

“A claimant with a poor work record appeared to be doing little to find work. The Jobcentre Plus adviser thought that Mandatory Work Activity could give them valuable up to date work experience and improve their work ethic. The claimant was subsequently referred to a Mandatory Work Activity placement in a Scope charity shop – a referral that the claimant was reluctant to accept.”

More evidence of Scope’s involvement with forced labour emerged on twitter when @awesomesauceuk tweeted:  “Being sent on Mandatory Work Activity. Was supposed to be interviewed but wasn’t. Will “work” in Scope for 4 weeks from Fri 13th. #MWA

When Mandatory Work Activity was first proposed, the Social Services Advisory Committee (who advise Government on welfare) warned that the scheme was likely to target the most vulnerable and strongly recommended it should not go ahead.  They also noted, that despite Scope’s statement, claimants cannot volunteer for MWA, noting that this rendered the scheme punitive rather than a measure to help claimants back into work.  Predictably the Government ignored the Committee’s recommendations.

Sadly Scope’s involvement with mandatory Government schemes doesn’t end there.  Scope are a member of Disability Works, a consortium of charities formed to maximise income from the Work Programme.

Claimants of sickness and disability as well as unemployment benefits are placed on the Work Programme for a period of two years.  During that time charities such as Scope have unprecedented control over claimant’s lives, with the power to mandate participants to almost any activity they wish.

Currently people on sickness or disability benefits cannot be mandated to workfare, although the Government have floated plans to change this.  Claimants can however be subject to sanctions for missing a meeting, failing to attend a training course or any other ‘Work Related Activity’ that providers like Scope may dictate.

Whilst the Disability Works charities have claimed they are not involved with the sanctions process, this argument has been shown to be disengenuous, if not downright dishonest.  Work Programme charities are required to raise a Compliance Doubt should a participant fail to carry out mandated activity.  A Compliance Doubt is a referral to the DWP to sanction a claimant’s benefit.  Whilst the DWP have the final say on whether a sanction is applied, it is the Work Programme charities, like Scope, who are responsible for setting the process in motion.  Basically the DWP are the judges and Scope are the coppers, quite happy to make money from policing sick and disabled claimants.

The homelessness charity SHP (formerly the The Single Homeless Project) has already handed back their Work Programme contract after claiming the brutal sanctions regime may cause vulnerable people to have to ‘beg and steal’.  Sadly the big disability charities, which along with Scope include Mind, Mencap and Leonard Chesire Disability have no such scruples.

10,000 sanctions were applied to claimants on sickness  and disability benefits last year.  Many of these were due to Compliance Doubts raised by the charities involved in delivering Work Programme.  Sanctions are devastating for all claimants, leading to abject poverty as well as the risk of Housing Benefit payments being stopped endangering people’s homes.  To apply sanctions to claimants who are sick or disabled however is a new level of brutality.  Sick or disabled claimants may have special diets as part of their treatment, pay more in heating costs or have other costs such as fares to hospitals and GPs to manage.  To callously strip vital benefits away from this group, many of whom have life-threatening conditions, is unprecedented on the history of the Welfare State.

That charities like Scope should be part of this attack on the very people they claim to be established to help is beyond belief.   Work Programme, workfare and connivance in sanctions is fast bringing the entire charitable sector into disrepute.  It’s time that so called charities like Scope say enough is enough and hand back these savage contracts that have caused so much damage to sick and disabled benefit claimant’s live.

Boycott Workfare have re-issued their call to complain to Scope along with a response to yesterday’s statement. Scope are on twitter @scope.

Also taking place today is a communication blockade of poverty pimps A4e called by Liverpool Combat Workfare.

Charities and Workfare: The Sad Truth

Many charities are still some of the biggest exploiters of the government’s workfare scheme despite the public outcry over the last couple of weeks.  Whilst several, most notably Oxfam and Marie Curie, have made clear statements that they will no longer be involved in forced labour of any kind, many more are being typically evasive.  Barnardos (@barnardos),   Cancer Research (@CR_UK) and the British Heart Foundation (@theBHF) have chosen simply to ignore the hundreds of people who have contacted them expressing outrage at their use of forced labour.  Others, such as the Salvation Army and Age UK have wobbled, but are still using workfare.

Far more concerning is the number of charities still happy to profit directly from workfare as contractors of the government’s Work Programme scheme.  According to Chris Grayling the Work Programme is the largest Welfare to Work scheme seen since the 1930s.  Figures just announced show that since June last year 370,000 Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) claimants have been referred onto the Work Programme scheme and around 20,000 claimants on Employment Support Allowance (ESA, the replacement for Incapacity Benefit).

The Work Programme is a mandatory scheme under which unemployed and sick or disabled claimants can be forced to undertake ‘Work Related Activity’ for up to two years.  In the case of JSA claimants this could include a period of six months workfare, often with a private sector employer.  Despite the lies told by ministers Chris Grayling and Iain Duncan Smith, a now apparently censored document reveals that claimants have been forced to work at Pizza Hut, ASDA, Wilkinsons and many other household names from the private sector.

As ever, the ‘Work Programme’ scheme was contracted out largely to the private sector.  40 prime contracts in 18 regions were selected to manage the programme, and despite Cameron’s claims that the voluntary sector would be at the heart of the Work Programme, just one of these contracts was awarded to a charity, the Careers Development Group.  The rest have been awarded to profit making companies such as much maligned fraudsters A4e.  The contracts have been estimated to be worth 3-5 billions pounds.  To place this sum in context, George Osborne’s cuts have wiped £11 billion from welfare benefits, including savage cuts to housing benefit which have already led to many families losing their homes.  Yet he is happy to dish out almost half of that sum to private companies, for a scheme so apparently flawed that they daren’t even tell us if anyone has actually found work due to Work Programme.

Some of that cash is intended to flow down to the 289 sub-contracters who have been brought in to provide ‘specialist support’, often for the most vulnerable claimants.  The vast bulk of these are charities including household names such as MIND, SCOPE and Action for Blind People.  However all is not well on the Work Programme gravy train.  Some charities have pulled out, many are claiming a lack of referrals has made the scheme uneconomic, others are concerned that the payment after results system means they do not have the capital to develop workfare provision.

Shamefully not one charity has pulled out over concerns that some people are being bullied into forced labour in supermarkets under the scheme.  Neither have any raised concerns that many people, including sick and disabled claimants, have had benefits sanctioned  and been condemned to poverty and possible homelessness as a result.  Whilst some charities, including MIND and SCOPE have issued statements that they will no longer use forced labour in their shops, they appear unrepentant about profiting from a scheme that involves forced labour on an industrial scale.

Disability Works is a consortium of disability and mental health charities which was formed to maximise income from the Work Programme.  After facing heavy criticism when the workfare row first blew up, a statement was issued by mental health charity MIND, which attempted to clarify their position:

“Mind is a member of Disability Works UK, a not-for-profit consortium of eight disability charities that have come together to provide tailored support to people who are ready to enter the workplace.

Through Disability Works UK, our local Minds may be involved in offering specialist support to people with mental health problems helping to improve their skills and boost their confidence.

Well-structured and meaningful volunteering can be an excellent way to prepare people for paid work.

However, we believe that forcing people to volunteer is not the best way forward.

Disability Works UK will not play a role in imposing sanctions and will only seek contracts with providers whose values are compatible with our own.”

This is disingenuous to say the least, in fact it might best be described as a deliberate distortion of the truth.  Benefit sanctions are at the heart of the Work Programme and all of the prime contracters and sub-contracters are aware of this.  Disability Works may not play a role in imposing sanctions, they don’t play a role in paying out benefits either.  Only the DWP can sanction someone’s benefit’s (obviously).  Member’s of Disability Works however are contractually obliged to report any ‘Compliance Doubts’ to the prime contractors who in turn send them onto the DWP, who are the ones who  administer a benefit sanction.  A ‘compliance doubt’ may mean that a claimant has refused to go and work in Poundland for no pay, or has failed to turn up for an Interview Skills workshop, short training course, or other activity.  If Disability Works do not follow this procedure and refuse to report compliance breaches,  then they are in breach of contract with their contractors and ultimately the DWP.

The Work Programme Provider’s Guidance* (PDF) clearly states that:  “Sanctions are a tool to encourage participants to actively engage with support offered. Where a participant has failed to comply with a mandated activity, you are required to follow a process for raising a compliance doubt.

Whilst it is true that providers can appeal that in some circumstances a claimant (on ESA only)  is vulnerable, the end decision will be made by the DWP.  Sick and disabled people are not exempt from benefit sanctions as is clear:  “If one of these participants fails to undertake WRA (Work Related Activity) without good cause, a sanction will apply. The Work Related Activity Component (WRAC) will be reduced whilst the ESA participant is sanctioned.”

All of the charities involved in Work Programme, including Disability Works have signed up to this, and indeed are profiting from it.

The big disability charities are attempting to treat both their users and the general public as fools.  Whilst corporate slime like Tesco and Burger King have at least attempted to be honest about their role in workfare, the big charities are using weasel words to completely misrepresent their involvement in the scheme.  The likelihood is that the members of Disability Works will make far more money out of workfare than Tesco ever did.

The nature of the Work Programme makes it very difficult to know for sure exactly what is going on at grassroots level.  Providers have been given free reign to mandate claimants to all kinds of activities, with many of their programmes kept confidential under the handy smokescreen of commercial confidentitality rules.  Some charities may only be partaking a small role, such as provide housing advice to homeless participants, others may manage the full spectrum of a person’s activity on Work Programme.

Were Disability Works to publish a full outline of their Work Programme provision then this may go some way towards developing some much needed transparency in the scheme.  As it stands the statement from MIND suggests that they may well be involved in mandating people to forced labour.

Under current rules, claimants on ESA cannot be mandated to workfare, although they can be  mandated to up to 15 hours of training a week amongst other activities.  For those claimants on JSA the situation is very different and they could face forced labour for six months.  Thousands of people with disabilities and mental health conditions have been bullied onto Job Seeker’s Allowance by the flawed Work Capability Assessment, many of them will no doubt have been mandated to workfare.

Those on ESA, many of whom have fluctuating conditions, are just if not more vulnerable to benefit sanctions.   Should a mandatory appointment or training scheme with one of the charitable providers happen to fall on a ‘bad day’, and the claimant is unable to attend, they are very likely to face sanctions.  All of the charities have been happy to go along with this as long as it kept lining their pockets.

The members of Disability Works, (who can be found here) should be ashamed for colluding in this attack on the most vulnerable in society.  That they allowed themselves to put aside the needs of their users in favour of juicy government contracts is a disgrace.  That they are still participating, and profiting from the scheme which is bringing misery to thousands, shows they do not deserve the support of those appalled by forced labour.   Until they clearly, and unambiguously reject the Work Programme they should be condemned along with Primark and McDonalds and all other organisations happy to profit from workfare.  Anything other than an absolute condemnation of the Work Programme, workfare and benefit sanctions will be seen as yet another gross betrayal of the very people these charities were established to support.

*Disclaimer: this document may change at any time to cover up for government lies.

A full list of charities and other organisations with Work Programme sub-contracts can be found (for now) at: http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/wp-supply-chains.pdf

Alan Cholodenko – The Expanding Universe of Animation (Studies)

WHITHER(ING) ANIMATION (STUDIES)?![1]  1. This paper is theoretical, speculative, highly so. Theory, from Greek theoria, is speculating. Like theory, life is a risky business, too, getting riskier, more speculative, by the minute, especially since I theorise what I live, and I live what I theorise. So this is ‘food for thought’, perhaps indigestible. I take […]

Paul St. George – Using chronophotography to replace Persistence of Vision as a theory for explaining how animation and cinema produce the illusion of continuous motion

Chronophotography was developed, at the end of the nineteenth century by Marey, Demenÿ and later Gilbreth and used as a tool for investigating movement. At the beginning of the twentieth century chronophotography’s potential as a research tool was ignored as aspects of chronophotography were developed into cinema. Now, in what many call the post-cinematic era1, […]

Navigating the Open Educational Practice Landscape

Main Article Content

Martin Weller

Open education is an evolving term that covers a range of philosophies and practices aimed at widening access to education for those wishing to learn, with the current focus predominantly on practices based around reuse and sharing. This current focus can be traced back to the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, and the use of open licences, such as Creative Commons licences. However, it also has links to open universities, open access publishing, MOOCs, open source software and open approaches to teaching.

The current interpretation of open education is heavily influenced by the OER movement with an emphasis on the ‘5Rs of reuse’ (Reuse, Revise Remix, Redistribute and Retain - Wiley 2014). The profile of open education has been further raised in recent years by the popularity of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Although they do not always meet the 5Rs criteria, MOOCs are open to all and freely available, and have gained considerable attention and funding. Another growth area is that of open textbooks, which can be viewed as a specific form of OER, and is particularly prevalent in North America through projects such as OpenStax and BC Campus

Excerpt and stills from upcoming documentary "Nellie Bly Makes The News"
Directed by Penny Lane
Director of Animation Julie Gratz
Presented by The Center for Investigative Reporting
Animation and Graphics by Kaleida Studio
Animation Produced by Cartuna

The film will be premiered at Sarasota Film Festival April 2018

'NELLIE BLY MAKES THE NEWS' presents the story of Nellie Bly, a muckracking investigative journalist who changed the game for women in reporting before women even had the right to vote. Taking the style she established in 'NUTS!' a step further, director Penny Lane creates an entirely animated documentary. Drawing from extensive primary sources including Bly's own writing, and presenting both real-world interviewees and reenactments in several styles of animation and illustration, this short film investigates the porous line between reporting facts and telling stories, while creating a dynamic portrait of a woman who refused to accept the status quo.

The Elephant in the Room -- Pentagon Spending and the Presidential Election

When: Saturday, January 25, 2020, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
Where: Harvard-Epworth Methodist Church • 1555 Massachusetts Ave. • (just north of Harvard Square, near Harvard Law School) • Cambridge

Elephant in the Room: Pentagon Spending and the Presidential Election

A mini-conference on making war spending an election issue

Sign up to attend!

The United States spends monstrous amounts of money on its military each year. The FY2019 National Defense Budget reached a staggering $716 billion and the FY2020 military budget will cost taxpayers $738,000,000,000 (that’s $738 billion). No country in the world comes even close to dedicating its finite resources to the military.  In fact, the U.S. spends more on defense than the combined spending of the next seven countries with the highest defense budgets. The recent passage of this huge military authorization bill, stripped of all limits placed on the president regarding war with Iran, was a God-send to a president bent on a dangerous military confrontation. Yet, presidential candidates have given relatively little attention to the war spending just authorized by Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

Join a mini-conference to explore how we might make the war budget an issue in the upcoming election. This event will provide us with the information and strategy we need to pressure the candidates running in the Democratic primary in Massachusetts to confront this “Elephant in the Room” Sign up to attend!

Presenters include:

William Hartung, author and director of the Arms and Security Project at Center for International Policy in New York. Bill is one of the top national experts on military spending and the Military Industrial Complex

James B. Eldridge is state senator for the Middlesex and Worcester district, which includes Acton, Marlborough, Westborough, Harvard, and nearby towns.  He is a champion of peace in the Senate and supports bills on climate change, economic justice, and peace.

Neta Crawford is Professor and Chair of Boston University’s Department of Political Science. She is co-director and co-founder of the Costs of War project at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University, which has recently been expanded with the addition of the “20 Years of War” research series.

Maryellen Kurkulos, Executive Board of Mass. Peace Action and Southeast Mass. organizer for numerous peace and justice campaigns.

Breakout Topics:

  • Bird Dogging the Candidates
  • Getting Our Message in the Media
  • The Massachusetts state Budget and Military Spending
  • Military Budget and Domestic Programs

Sponsors: Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund; Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security; American Friends Service Committee; Survival Education Fund.

Justin Bieber And Hailey Plans Wedding Party In September

Justin Bieber And Hailey Plans Wedding Party In September

Justin Bieber and wife Hailey are planning a wedding party In september. This is coming one year after they had gotten married.

The couple tied the knot in an In house ceremony at a New York courthouse in September 2018 but the pair are planning to throw a huge celebration with family and friends next month.

It has been wildly reported that the couple had changed the dates on three previous occassions just to accomodate as many guests as possible.

TRENDING  Lil Boosie Faces 2 Felony Charges for Drug Possession

Justin and Hailey have also postponed their wedding celebration several times, because they were believed to be focusing on his mental health, following his decision to seek treatment for depression in February.

A close source said: “Hailey keeps supporting him. They will still have a wedding when they feel they are ready. The most important thing for them is that Justin is mentally healthy. It seems his treatment has helped him a lot. It has changed the way he thinks. He is much more focused on taking one day at a time. It’s when he starts thinking too far ahead that he gets stressed out and feels pressure.”

TRENDING  Lebo Sekgobela in Top Five SA's most Streamed Female Artist

On same note, the pair can’t keep expressing how much they love themselve on social media. Justin wrote that he is falling “more in love” with Hailey. The Greatest thing that ever happened to him.

Hailey on her end wrote on Instagram: “I love you so much. Ur my favorite human on earth I’m a very lucky lady”
