John Harp, David Heflin, Charlie Johanson, Text to Sermon 2.0 (Wednesday afternoon)

Writing about preachers of the ancient church, one church historian states: “[T]heir thinking was never far removed from the church’s worship…their intellectual work was always in service and praise and adoration of the one God…there was always a living community before their eyes.”

In similar recognition of the importance of worship for preaching, each day at the Seminar begins and ends with a period of worship.

Magnetic phase transition in half-metallic CoMnSb and NiMnSb semi-Heusler alloys upon Cu doping: First-principles calculations

Creative Commons License

Galanakis I., Sasioglu E., Oezdogan K.

PHYSICAL REVIEW B, cilt.77, 2008 (SCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi) identifier identifier

We study the effect of the nonmagnetic 3d atoms on the magnetic properties of the half-metallic (HM) semi-Heusler alloys Co1-xCuxMnSb and Ni1-xCuxMnSb (0 <= x <= 1) using first-principles calculations. We determine the magnetic phase diagram of both systems at zero temperature and obtain a phase transition from a ferromagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state. For low Cu concentrations the ferromagnetic Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY)-type exchange mechanism dominates, while the antiferromagnetic superexchange coupling becomes important for larger Cu content. A strong dependence of the magnetism in both systems on the position of the Fermi level within the HM gap is found. Obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

How To Stay Sane, Focussed, Disciplined And Organised While Working From Home

Working from home is challenging; you must be focused, disciplined and not get distracted.

Let’s be honest and let’s get real.

Even before the lockdown, I used to work from home one or two days a week. I found it difficult at times to be organised while working from home.

I’d wake up a little later than usual as I knew I didn’t have to commute. Having a cuppa while watching GMTV. Quickly put my face on in preparation for any video calls, brush my teeth, bang some washing in the machine and hey presto my commute was over! Still in my PJ bottoms and slippers.

Even though I may have a slightly relaxed start to the day, once work began, I’d carry on till late in the evening and not take any breaks. I will make dinner for the family and continue working for another couple of hours. So, although I had a pretty chilled start to the day, I did more work than if I was in the office. Only getting up from my dining room table when my back really sore and very really even took a coffee break.

More people working from home

Before the UK lockdown, only 1.7 million people worked from home. However, post lockdown an estimated 20 million people will be expected to working from home.

Traditionally working from home has been for the privileged few, not anymore!

Managing your time can be very challenging. Especially as you try not to get distracted by last night’s dishes, Facebook, or simply just surfing the net. With no colleague or management looking over your shoulder, it’s easy to get sidetracked.

“Establish a pre-work routine and an after-work routine. Working in the same place where you wake up, eat, and sleep can make anyone go crazy without proper boundaries in place.”

–Marissa Owens, Opportunity Business Loans

For this new working from home set up to be useful long term.

Both employers and employees need to develop some effective routines and habits. Therefore ensuring employees don’t become slaves to their employers while remaining as productive as possible.

You should have tools in place to help you organise your work life. Perhaps even help you manage your work-life balance. If the tools are really great, it will also be able to help you set a plan in place to focus on your self-development.

So unplug, log off at the end of the day and take time out for your-self development.

“… Remote work isn’t a privilege or a special accommodation. It’s a way of working, and that’s a strong statement for some people. It shouldn’t be a question of rewarding top performers with the ability to work remotely.”

— Nickie Bellington, Atlassian

Don’t get me wrong I am grateful to have a job in this current climate and am more than willing to go the extra mile.

However, I still have a life and a family outside of work. Just because I am working from home doesn’t mean I cannot take a lunch break, take regular coffee breaks and finish work at a reasonable time to have some me-time and family time.

I just needed a tool to help me be more organised while I worked from home. Arranging all work schedules, home, family and me-time is important for this working from home to be successful.

If you are anything like me, I put my all into my work and leave very little time for me. By this, I mean scheduling time to focus on my self-development, this is not your employers responsibly!!!! It yours
Self-development is taking steps to better yourself, such as by learning new skills or overcoming bad habits.

Be the best you can be

Ever since I can remember I have been told to get a good education, good grades, study hard and ace your exams. This is all very important academically but what about your ongoing self-development. I believe self-development is equally as important but for many, we seem to brush it under the matt instead of making it an integral part of our lives to become a better version of ourselves.

The sheer number of courses and books focusing on self-development is staggering – where do you start?

Before picking any specific area, I would highly recommend your first stop is to work on managing your time effectively by creating a solid foundation.

Create Good habits while working from home

  • Stay organised, increase productivity so you can achieve your goals – for example at the close of business write down a tomorrows to-do list in priority order
  • Improve your work and life balance and feel happier – take time out for your self-development

Figuring out what you want from life is difficult. Yes, we all want a million pounds in a bank account but the reality is, what use is a million if you have sold your soul to your employer and don’t have the time to enjoy it.

How to make the most of each day and kick start good habits

To make the most of each day and to kick start those good habits I would recommend this Legend Planner Deluxe – It’s superb Weekly & monthly life planner, organiser, notebook and journal to ensure you hit your goals and take those all-important steps to embrace the time to self-develop yourself.

It’s undated so you can start anytime – but don’t procrastinate there is no time like the present.

Learn new skills and be the best you can be

Self-development is about being the best you can be learning new skills, applying what you learnt and grow. This can help you be more effective in your job and perhaps even give you the opportunity for promotion, but more so it’s about actively putting time aside to better yourself. As a mother, I tend to put my self last, and there is very little left in my tank at the end of the day for me.

You must set time aside to self-development

Finding the time to do self-development is always going to be a challenge irrespective of how well you plan your day. So unless you actively plan to put time aside each day, it’s unlikely you will embrace the present time but rather look back in regret.

So I suggest you get this Legend Planner Deluxe, which will allow you to be more organised as you plan your day, being more effective both in your personal and business life including your self-development.

I wish you all the best in your new roles of working from home and hope you will be able to be more effective in all your roles, especially self-development.

P.S. If you are considering self-development / starting an online business to add to income that may have been lost over this uncertain period, check out this FREE online training series of three videos, and learn how you can start a digital business around your existing job.

P.S.S. Comment below – What are the challenges you have faced working from home, and how have you overcome them?

I am currently finishing my last semester of college at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I also work part time as an Emergency Medical Technician. In May, I’ll be moving to Montana to work with the Fish and Wildlife Service. I started running in high school cross-country and just never stopped. I also studied martial arts for a while, which introduced me to HIIT (though we just called them sparring matches).

What was your background before you started CrossFit?

My aerobic foundation was pretty good coming into CrossFit, and I was used to doing body weight exercises. But lifting has definitely taken some time to get used to.

How did you get into CrossFit?

I’d heard about CrossFit for a few years and always just figured I could do the same exercises on my own and not pay money for a gym membership. Last Fall I finally admitted to myself that that was just an excuse. I was really just afraid that CrossFit would show me how out of shape I was. Once I realized that I knew I had to do it. I emailed Tyler the next day to set up an intro class and here I am.

What is your favorite WOD or movement?

Anything that involves running.

Least favorite?

Overhead squat.

How has CrossFit changed you outside of the gym?

I definitely feel the functional fitness aspect of Crossfit a lot at work. Many times when I’m lifting a patient I can feel the muscle memory from weightlifting kick in, which makes the lifting safer for both me and the patient. I also sleep way better than I used to.

What makes Badger CrossFit unique?

I’ve never worked out with such a diverse group of people; different ages, backgrounds, fitness levels. It’s really remarkable the community that exists at Badger CrossFit.

What time do you WOD?

7am. I can’t fathom getting up any earlier.

What advice do you have for people first getting started?

Don’t worry about looking ignorant or out of shape in front of other people, and don’t get discouraged by how strong/fast/… anyone else might be. Just focus on you. Push yourself a little bit harder and a little bit more every workout. If you do what you can each and every workout, you’d be amazed at how quickly you’ll progress.

Testosterone Lawsuit

The Risk of Heart Attack from Testosterone Injections

testosterone injectionDid you develop blood clots or heart problems after taking “Low T” supplements like Androgel? Talk to drug injury attorney Bart Bernard about filing a testosterone lawsuit in Louisiana. If you suffered adverse side effects or serious health complications from testosterone therapy, you aren’t alone. Thousands of plaintiffs claim that testosterone supplements were marketed and sold without adequate warning about heart attack, stroke and blood clot risks, spurring a wave of litigation across the country. For years, studies have cast doubt on the purported benefits of testosterone gels, transdermal patches and injections, touted to cure everything from low sex-drive and lethargy to an increasing waist line.

Testosterone products have been aggressively marketed as a lifestyle drug to help combat complaints of fewer erections, decreased muscle mass and a less-than-sharp memory – issues that are normal aging symptoms for many middle-aged men. Treatments like Axiron, Androderm, Androgel and Depo Testosterone generate billions of dollars in sales in the U.S. each year, but manufacturers are currently under fire for marketing their products for uses beyond FDA-approval. Hypogonadism is a rare medical condition in which the body produces insufficient testosterone. This is the only condition that testosterone products are legally approved to treat. However, testosterone therapy has remained big business, with thousands of men duped into believing they suffered from clinically low levels of testosterone. Since 2013, Androgel sales have eclipsed that of Viagra – one of the top-selling pharmaceuticals in the U.S.

Testosterone injection lawsuit allegations

Testosterone lawsuits raise claims of pharmaceutical negligence, misleading marketing and breach of warranties. These allegations are bolstered by several peer-reviewed studies including one 2014 paper published in PLOS ONE medical journal. Researchers found that testosterone therapy medications substantially increase heart attack risk among men over the age of 65 as well as younger men with preexisting heart problems or a history of cardiovascular disease.

Whether you were prescribed Striant, Aveed, Testim, Bio T Gel, Fortesta or Androgel, you have a right to be properly informed about possible side effects. Plaintiffs argue that testosterone product manufacturers put profits over safety and negligently failed to alert consumers about risk of blood clots, stroke and cardiovascular injury.

Plaintiffs also contend that testosterone manufactures engaged in deceptive advertising that misled men about the prevalence of “Low T” syndrome, while downplaying the serious health risks of testosterone replacement therapy.

At the Bart Bernard Injury Lawyers, we understand the emotional, physical and financial burdens caused by dangerous drugs. If you or someone you love suffered cardiovascular side effects, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or other life-altering complications while taking Low T supplements, you may be entitled to significant monetary damages. Bart Bernard is an experienced testosterone lawyer who is dedicated ted to helping victims recover the compensation they need and deserve.

Testosterone lawsuit news

The first round of testosterone blood clot cases concerning Androgel were filed in 2014. At present, more than 7,000 testosterone injury claims are pending, and many have been centralized under multidistrict litigation for more efficiency. Judge Matthew F. Kennelly is currently overseeing MDL 2545 in Illinois federal court, where defendants include AbbVie Inc., Abbott Laboratories Inc., Elli Lilly, Endo Pharmaceuticals, Actavis and other testosterone manufacturers.

With bellwether trials underway, it may be too early to speculate on Androgel lawsuit settlement amounts or jury verdicts. Should the defendants be held liable, legal reparations would include monies for:

  • Medical costs (past, present and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Loss of consortium
  • Permanent disability

Multidistrict litigation is an effective platform for expediting pretrial discovery and allowing plaintiffs and their testosterone lawyers to pool resources as they prepare to go before a jury. If the courts return judgements against the defendants in these early MDL trials, this may serve to encourage settlement negotiations for remaining claimants.

Engaging a competent product liability attorney who is well-versed in testosterone litigation can make a tremendous difference in your financial recovery. Attorney Bart Bernard offers private consultations to men who were harmed by testosterone drugs. Over the past two decades, he has successfully handled numerous drug injury claims in state and federal courts, and is not afraid to take on deep-pocketed pharmaceutical giants.

Consult with a Louisiana testosterone lawyer

Testosterone products have been shown to cause life-threatening cardiac injury, thrombolytic events, stroke, pulmonary embolism and even death in otherwise healthy men. If you believe the quality of your life and health was compromised by Androgel, Androderm or another testosterone replacement product, contact Louisiana personal injury attorney Bart Bernard who can determine if you have a viable claim for damages. The case evaluation is free and you never have to worry about legal costs since all cases are handled on a contingent basis.

Problem with Smart Switch

I just upgraded my Tab S 8.4 LTE from 6.0.1 (stock) to Mokee 7.1.2. Before starting I did a full backup with Samsung’s Smart Switch. After upgrading successfully I’m trying to restore the Smart Switch backup, but Smart Switch says Unsupported Device whenever I plug it in. I’ve set usb to MTP and confirmed I can access files on the device from the desktop. Is there something in this ROM that might prevent Smart Switch from recognizing device? Any way to fix this? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Groundbreaking new student housing, dining hall at UVic

by ahnationtalk on July 27, 202054 Views

July 27, 2020

VICTORIA – Nearly 800 University of Victoria (UVic) students will be able to make themselves at home in new on-campus homes by 2022.

“Today, we are breaking ground on almost 800 new homes for UVic students,” said Premier John Horgan. “It’s part of B.C.’s first-ever student housing initiative, which we developed to help meet a significant and long-standing need. These new housing units are great news for students and will help take some pressure off the local rental market.”

Premier Horgan was joined by Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training; and Gayle Gorrill, vice-president of finance and operations, UVic, on behalf of Jamie Cassels, president, UVic; in a groundbreaking on campus where the two new student housing facilities and a dining hall will be located.

“Today, we are celebrating an important milestone for students at UVic and fulfilling our government’s commitment to build 5,000 new student housing units across the province,” Mark said. “After years of neglect and calculated inaction on this file by the previous government, I am proud to say that this new state-of-the-art sustainable student housing project is ahead of schedule and soon nearly 800 students will have an affordable place to call home.”

Amenities will include:

  • 783 beds, including 621 new beds and 162 replacement beds;
  • a 600-seat dining hall, commercial kitchen, small grocery and new coffee shop to replace Cadboro Commons and provide more food offerings with healthy options; and
  • a wide range of meeting rooms, informal gathering places, classrooms and a designated Indigenous student lounge.

A rejuvenated outdoor area will connect the new housing and dining hall to the centre of campus. Other amenities include student group and study spaces, communal social spaces, laundry facilities and secure indoor bicycle storage.

A temporary 500-seat modular dining facility will be operational from September 2020 to July 2022 for students while the new dining hall is under construction. The new hall is expected to open in 2022.

“With 75% of our students arriving from outside Greater Victoria, it has long been a strategic priority for UVic to provide more on-campus housing,” Gorrill said. “Living on campus contributes to the educational experience and success of our students, and we are grateful this project will provide a welcoming home away from home.”

Construction of these new facilities meets LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold and Passive House standards – the most rigorous global building standards for sustainability and energy efficiency – supporting government’s CleanBC initiative.

This is the first major capital project at UVic since a new Campus Plan was completed in January 2016.

CleanBC is a shared priority between government, the BC Green Party caucus and Andrew Weaver, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, and supports a commitment in the Confidence and Supply Agreement to implement climate action to meet B.C.’s targets.

Rob Fleming, Minister of Education –

“Not only is this project creating important affordable housing for UVic students, it’s also easing rental pressure on the housing market in our region. I’m excited to get these units built and for the community to benefit from our government’s action on this long-standing issue.”

Andrew Weaver, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head –

“I’m thrilled to see these long overdue student housing projects take shape at UVic. Given that these new buildings will meet both Passive House and LEED Gold standards, UVic and the Province are showing their commitment to innovative low-carbon solutions. I look forward to these new buildings being models for other educational construction projects in the years ahead.”

Alyssa Husband, fifth-year student, faculty of education, UVic –

“Living on campus is the perfect place to become involved in campus culture, find a community of like-minded students only steps from your door and ease the transition into university life. Looking back on my first year, there were so many new experiences and opportunities I hadn’t even imagined. I’m so glad I made the decision to live in residence and be a part of the UVic community right off the bat. With more housing options right on campus, I know future students will have a great experience at UVic.”

Quick Facts:

  • UVic has approximately 22,000 students with 75% attending from outside the Greater Victoria area.
  • The Emily Carr, Margaret Newton and Cadboro Commons buildings are being deconstructed to accommodate the new student housing and dining hall.
  • The Province is providing $128 million towards the total cost of $232.4 million – $98 million from the Student Housing Initiative for the beds and a separate loan of $25 million toward half the cost of the dining hall. The remaining $5.2 million will be provided as a capital grant. Post-secondary institutions are expected to self-finance about 25% of costs with loans repaid through rental income.
  • This project’s completion date was shortened by one year to fall 2023 as a result of establishing a temporary dining hall, allowing for decommissioning and construction to begin more quickly.

Jonathan Baker

Producer, actor, director, teacher, and musician, Jonathan Baker is a man of many talents and many interests. Executive producer of the Sundance Film Festival’s recent Audience Choice Award Winner Crown Heights—a biographical film portraying the true story of Colin Warner, who was wrongfully convicted of murder—Baker is a well-rounded individual who seems to transform everything he touches into gold. Founder of JB Studio, JB Productions, and New Renaissance Entertainment, his latest production is the feature musical film Basmati Blues, starring Donald Sutherland, Tyne Daly, Brie Larson and Scott Bakula, released in theaters in February of 2018.

By Victoria Adelaide | June 04. 2018

Victoria Adelaide: You are the executive producer of the movie Crown Heights, the true story of Colin Warner. How did you get into that project in the first place?
Jonathan Baker: I received the script through a series of mutual friends I shared with the screenwriter. We were looking to make something special. On the cover, it said the story was based on This American Life, the famous radio program. I was maybe 20 pages in when I realized I had actually heard this story many years ago during the broadcast. I remember sitting in my car for an extra half hour listening to the show, absolutely riveted by the story. When I read the script, on page 62 when Colin marries Antoinette in the prison, I began to cry in the middle of this cafe. I immediately thought, “We’ve got to make this movie.” I texted my partner Nnamdi, who read the script and kept texting me, “Is this as good as I think it is?!” (laughs) and I said, “Yes, this is really good; this is an amazing script.” And that was it. We got together with Matt Ruskin, and that was the beginning of Crown Heights.

VA: Several movies you have produced have a very powerful message…
JB: For me, it’s about breaking down boundaries and finding common ground—working through the challenges in our society in which good people come up against tough obstacles and make the best out of them. I try to find stories that are inspiring. There is always a hero and a journey, that’s it.

VA: In 2007, you left Sony Pictures Entertainment to found JB Studio and went on to develop and educate over 150 artists. How did you do that?
JB: They started coming to me. It was a really big change in my life. When you’re working at big studios like Sony Pictures, you’re working on anywhere from six to ten movies at the same time. However, as I say to my students, you really only like one of them, and the rest are maybe not your taste. It’s a big business; you’ve got to make money. It becomes relatively emotionally empty and you feel artistically hollow after so many years working on various projects like that. I was getting older and I thought to myself, “If you have to do this, you better do it soon. You don’t have kids, and you only get to take these giant risks when you’re young.” So, I jumped ship and left everything I had behind. I had been writing a lot of songs about my mother’s death. The only way I could survive the studio was to go home at night and write music on my piano. I was going through a lot; I’d lost my mother when I was 20 and was trying to find my way. I had taken all these corporate jobs to make a living, but I felt disconnected from my art. I finally decided to leave the studio to produce, direct, and star in this crazy musical movie about a guy who has a recurring nightmare that he wakes up in public naked. I put this short film into production in 2007. It was ironic, because within two weeks I was shooting it at Sony with a lot of Sony’s help. I invited several of my old musical theater friends from the University of Michigan and Broadway to help me. As I was finishing the film, it was as if everybody started coming to me and asking, “Can you help me with my idea?” or “Can you get me ready for this?” or “Can you teach me how to sing?” etc. So in 2007, I started with two clients who just kept calling all their friends, and the studio took off from there. Crown Heights came out of that studio. It was Nnamdi who came in through Kerry Washington, and Kerry Washington came in through a voice teacher that had done Moulin Rouge, and I didn’t even know that she knew about me! All of a sudden, I was working with celebrities. I didn’t know where they were coming from; it just happened.

VA: I heard several big movie producers say they do not make money with films anymore. You are doing extremely well with your business. What is your perspective as an independent producer and what change did you notice for independent producers from the moment you started to now?
JB: My perspective is rooted in my experience from the studio I worked at and my position now working on independent films. I’ve been going to the Sundance Film Festival for twenty years. I had my first short film there when I was twenty, and now we’ve won the audience choice award with Crown Heights. I’ve seen it all, up and down the ladder. After two decades watching this industry play out, it has started to strike me that the movie business is very much like any other market. There are waves; it goes up and down, it’s always changing. The biggest shift I’ve seen in my life is this macro shift between the international market and what’s called the domestic market, which is the United States and Canada combined. When I first started in the movie business, it was a 60/40 split where the domestic market owned a 60% market share and the international market had 40%. In the time that I’ve been working, those percentages have flipped. Now, the international market represents 60% and the domestic is only 40%. Its a huge piece of the puzzle that we’re still negotiating with. That’s why you see a lot more films with stories that cross over—stories that deal with China and other territories. The big studio films have to tie them together, because they want the entire market from all over the world to find it interesting. What that has done in the short term for us, regarding independent films, is what some would call the bottom falling out of the film industry economically. We have also seen massive technical advancements, allowing what I call a flood of content. Everybody can make a movie with their iPhone, but that doesn’t mean they can make a good movie. There is an issue of craft now. Because there is a massive amount of content being created, supply and demand makes it competitive for buyers; the price point has been reduced; stars have become more valuable, and they only work within certain price ranges. Therefore, the budgets that range in the middle and bottom suffer. Ultimately, we can see that the industry is expanding. The question is now, where do you fit artistically? Do you want to make this movie, or do you want to make that movie? And are you prepared for the economic model that really represents right now? Does your idea economically work? The big challenge in film is that it takes a lot of money to get good at it. It’s very expensive to learn, like a surgeon who has to go through 10,000 hours of medical school. You have to go through years of training with someone who is better than you at a very specific craft. Many artists don’t realize they’re going to spend a lot of money simply learning. There are tons of risks and very little reward unless you stick to it. I often tell people that the only way to get successful in this business is to stay in it. Don’t go anywhere; do not give up! The system is evolving. Every time there is a market wave, it will correct itself. There’ll be some adjustments and there will be new technologies, such as virtual reality. It will always keep expanding, and I think that’s really exciting.

VA: You worked for major companies such as Sony Pictures Entertainment, Screen Gems, and TriStar Pictures. What did they teach you?
JB: Confidence. Working for the biggest companies allows you to gain confidence. You then have to jump into the biggest arena you can and see what you’re truly made of. There’s this warrior mentality that has to be a part of your soul. You have to believe in yourself enough to get in the game. Then, when you emerge from those environments, you’ve already been at the top with the biggest and the best. That confidence stays with you in any room you enter from that point forward, because most people haven’t had the experience. You have a certain level of knowledge and respect that allows you to continue to harness your greatest potential. I think that’s really the biggest part of it—to continue looking within. I was a very small piece, low level in many respects, of a very powerful, very successful company. It was extraordinarily valuable because I was learning from people that had way more experience, more insight, and the ability to teach me what I needed to learn. I went to New York for that reason; I went to LA for that reason; I wanted to get with the people who knew best.

VA: You seem to be equally comfortable both as an artist and as a businessman. How do you manage to have such great balance? Does it have to do with your upbringing?
JB: I am dyslexic, which was one of the primary reasons for my entry into music. My mother realized I was not learning. I couldn’t read, so she started me on instruments and said, “Well, while we tutor him, while we teach him to read, he needs to also do something he’s good at so he doesn’t lose his confidence.” I soon after began on the drums. I was teased as a child, I was ostracized. So, from age 6 to age 18, I worked my way up to academic success and simultaneously learned how to read. At the same time, I could drum, play other instruments, I had a really strong ear, and I was good at it. That was the balance that gave me the strength to overcome my disability. A lot of people ask me separately about the business side and the artistic side. To me though, they are complementary. I think we’re inherently very creative, and the brain is a problem-solving engine that applies itself in many different ways. Society may call you this or that, and try to pigeonhole or label you. Great artists are the people who are always reinventing themselves, who never let themselves become labeled as just one thing. They want to spread out, they want to take their talent and engage with it.

VA: How do you see yourself in five years?
JB: I’m very blessed because my partner and I are producing three Broadway-bound productions. We’ve moved into theatre, we have a few TV projects we’re developing, and we have a lot of great feature films on the horizon that are very exciting. We have a really nice flow. The heart of what were trying to do is make sure we’re being socially conscious, responsible artists. If we do a movie, the message is a helpful one. If we do a Broadway show, it’s a constructive show. Let’s be beneficial to humanity; not just hit a nerve and sell fear. We have a responsibility as artists to inspire the best side of humanity. We should be on each other’s team; we should be bringing people together. Its the primary responsibility of the artist to experience the world in a certain emotional way and then translate it into products that people can learn from. I think edu-tainment is a big thing; to be able to service the viewers with catharsis and help them heal. I hope you see what we do in the next five years and find our message a helpful one.

VA: What are you working on now?
JB: The movie I’m working on now is called Private Sky. It’s a musical that is being produced as an animation and it contains only original music. In my early twenties, after my mother died, I moved to New York to try to find my way. I ended up on Wall Street and working on Broadway. I suffered a serious accident, went through medical bankruptcy, and experienced 9/11 all within a couple years. After 9/11 happened, I finally started writing music about my experiences. The result is Private Sky, and Im extremely excited about bringing this film to life over the next couple years.

...We have a responsibility as artists to inspire the best side of humanity.``

There is so much to say about this book and how it came into being because it is unusual in the way it has come to life. Usually there are books which inspire people to go out and make them into movies, in this case there was a script which held more promise than could be condensed into a 120 minute movie.

my new american courage

found on a wall at the United Nations Building, New York City

“Courage faces fear and thereby masters it. Cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

My 6-year-old son heard news on radio of America bombing a village with women and children in it. He asked me, “America did that?” I said yes, America did. He said, “But I am America. I didn’t do that. It wasn’t me?” He held a question in his voice that pierced my heart. He said, “I wouldn’t do that!”

My heart flooded. Emotions I have been trying to avoid moved piercingly from my stomach to my heart and my throat. He saw as I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

I hugged him and said, “I know, me too. I am America too. It is so very sad.”

from the UN’s Universal Declaration of Rights

Our worldwide news and fears are immensely difficult to explain and process, to adults let alone young children.

So many of us seek to understand things that perhaps are not understandable or even to be understood.

In my heart I know I am America and I cannot withhold my heart and love from others who want to be America too.

Throughout our modern history, it has taken courage and tremendous human suffering to be and become America.

As I contemplate our future America, I wonder what would happen if America committed to collective courage and chose not to respond in actions, but to respond in love? What would happen if our government issued a formal “Love Letter” to the people who intend us pain, instead of bombs and more pain?

Risking appearing naive, I ask you to think and feel about this. What could that letter look like? I’m not suggesting sending a love letter in support of continued suffering, but rather a letter honoring the potential of a greater humanity, challenging them to rise to love.

A few years ago I went on a retreat where I found myself in the middle of a self-defense training. I hadn’t expected this, but I have curiosity for many things so I was curious to see what would happen.

The course leader began an attack demonstration with me. I was advised to stop her with my stance and my reaction. She challenged me and rushed at me in attack mode–with pain, ferocity and intensity in her eyes and body.

Even though I felt afraid, my first inclination was to open my arms to embrace her, even though she looked like she was about to hurt me.

I didn’t. I didn’t act with love. In that moment, my fear of others’ perception of me was greater than my convictions. Instead I tried to summon the stance and replicate the “hutt” noise she had demonstrated.

My imitation failed. My instincts still strong about the hug and smile thing, but again the risk of others’ poorly judging and criticizing me dominated my actions.

Love was never suggested as an appropriate response.

Again, the trainer came at me. This time I decided to sing opera, loudly. She didn’t like that either. Everyone else in our group laughed.

She came at me, over and over and I kept trying to find a response that would stop her, but I never could get it right, at least by her counsel or expectations. Indeed I did break her patterns, and surprise her.

For a few moments after the exercise–as she was pretend attacking others in the training–I was concerned that I was not aggressive or self-protective enough… that somehow my own safety was in jeopardy because I didn’t naturally have a fierce defensive barking response to protect me.

As days passed after that weekend, I realized that for me, my instinctual path of defense was love. To me, love was the most natural and centered response. Perhaps love would get me killed, but still, it feels like the most authentic way to be true to my own energy and the way I want to survive.

Strawberry Fields, New York City

I don’t think it my place to say that LOVE should be ALL of our first responses, but–as real as that feels in me as my own truth–I deeply wonder and imagine our world when the majority of humans find courage to choose love instead of more pain infliction.

I am an American immigrant. I came to this country in the 1970s. I became a US citizen by choice and conviction to choose America as my home and values, the place to birth and raise my children. I chose America because I believe we are a country that chooses to honor, respect and celebrate our differences.

As I look at my son, a child of the earth–American as his birthright– my American heart is wide open.

I hold steadfast courage and love in my convictions while intensely feeling the fear of the unknown and the unknowable. I can only take responsibility for my own actions.

I love America. I love all Americans. I love Americans who believe peace is the way through the fear. I love Americans who believe harming people who hurt “us” is the best way to love and protect our country. (I don’t condone or agree, but still as an American it is my obligation to love and respect them while respectfully disagreeing.)

I am grateful to be American. I am grateful for all the people–seen and unseen generations– all who have suffered and suffer still–who have brought us to this moment in history, a moment that has such possibility for love and courage.

I imagine.

I imagine we humans are becoming a bit more evolved. (Did you just notice the word LOVE is in there, nearly twice? I did.)

I pray sharing my story and words create ripples of love and contemplation, not division or pain. I don’t have the answers for anyone, except to commit to grow myself as a real aging–hopefully wisen-ing– contemplative thoughtful contributor to our new America.

(As a writer, sometimes I find enough courage to share my inner world outside of myself, despite my fears. Thank you for reading.)

with my courageous, aching, imaginative, yearning and love-filled eager-to-evolve heart,
❤ becky

  1. You’re prey, a victim waiting to be used by predator. That’s actually, to my mind at least, not an intrinsically bad thing. You’re the sort I was bred, born, and raised to shelter and protect and, as such, I rather hope you keep your faith and ideals.

    That being said, it does behoove you to neither disparage the rough men and women who allow you through their sacrifice – up to and including their souls – to keep being what you are, nor to raise your children to do so.

    1. Thank you for taking time to comment, Jonolan. Interesting to regard me as prey, as the self defense trainer led with predator/prey lineage that day.

      A few questions stir: What happens when we run out of prey and predators? Or change our values to no longer accept this control or suffering? What happens when humans no longer see ourselves as separate from each other, but truly connected and equal? What happens if there is a way for us to evolve as species to become a humane humanity that allows all humans to live without harming or threatening each other? What happens if the game you and I are both in could be finally over and won by creating a new way to live harmonically, at the expense or sacrifice of no human?

      I respect your opinion. You said it behooves me not to disparage, and I hope that is a reflection of my post where I do not disparage anyone.

      I remark at our use of words prey and pray.

  2. Poor Sonshine! In a way, I wish I still felt his horror that America would do that, but over the last 20 years it has become our status quo, and I have bizarrely come to accept it as such. My heart changed at 9/11 to view “attack” as an acceptable alternative, but that’s not an excuse to accept committing violence over and over. Poor all of us.

Best Restaurants In Rome Romantic

Roman gastronomy the best Restaurants in Rome
Roman gastronomy the best eateries in Rome By Sean Finelli People say that “Rome wasn’t built in a day”…this includes the city’s reputation for epicurean delights. The best restaurants in Rome have one thing in common: they have decades of experience and rigorously preserve ancestral recipes – it’s like eating a bit of history. Check out these seven superb restaurant recommendations in Rome. Trattoria “La Sora Lella” one of the Best restaurants in Rome Founded in 1959 from Elena Fabrizi, better known as the “Sora Lella”, this restaurant is probably the one that every Roman could mention if you ask for a good pasta plate or any type of Roman cuisine. Prior to opening the restaurant, Sora Lella made her fortune in the film industry where she played the role of herself. She was discovered by Roman actors who were drawn to her personality and immediately cast her. Despite its notoriety, the restaurant has never changed locations and you can still find [...]

Notes on Experimentation

Note the First: Pentosan. Should we do a round in the spring, and see if he responds? Is it available again?

Legend injection in late fall made zip, zero difference that I could tell. Had a marvelous ride the day after, and then two days later, nothing. Taking him off Previcox has not resulted in a gimpier horse. I am not necessarily addressing a specific issue, but rather hoping I can improve the overall picture.

Note the Second: Gut issues. He remains the gassiest horse in the barn by yards and yards. Do I want to worry about this? Do I think harder about a hindgut treatment of some kind? Do I make some attempts at ulcer treatment?

He’s already on a pre & probiotic and doesn’t seem bothered by his gassiness.

Note the Third: General supplementation for weight/energy/hydration. Will try hay cubes/pellets, soaked, or beet pulp, soaked, as a snack/meal when out and hauling, or as something to give him as a treat after riding in the summer.

4 thoughts on “Notes on Experimentation

  1. Adequan was (and is) the one that’s hard to get your hands on. Pentosan apparently was scarce for a while but seems to be accessible now. I’m actually waiting on a PentAussie Rx for Tucker right now (his first; we’ll see). AFAIK the only hold-up is that our vet can be hard to track down sometimes…!

    I read something the other day suggesting that beet pulp can increase gassiness…thought it was at The Horse website, but I can’t seem to find it again now…

  2. Gut issues – gas specifically can be cause by high starch being digested in the large intestine. What feed is he on? How much hay and roughage? I would be concerned, gas is never something you want in your horse. I would suggest looking for a feed that has LOW starch.

  3. He's on a primary roughage diet right now: more or less free choice hay (grass hay, I would guess 30-40lbs or so per day), and 2.5 lbs of Blue Seal's Sentinel SR per day, which is just under their recommended maintenance, as he tends to be a very easy keeper. It's supposed to be a low starch feed. He's been just as gassy when fed a low starch feed (ie something like the Blue Seal's Carb Guard). He gets a general nutrition balancer supplement with added Vitamin E and Biotin that includes a pre and probiotic. I have gone back and forth on worrying about this over the years: when he is in a well-managed environment it doesn't seem to bother him in any way, it's just his default. When he's not in a well-managed environment (ie, the pastures are overrun or he is not generally watched after) he has had some low grade gas colics.

    I have had vets look at him and check on him and none of them has ever specifically said something to worry about. So it's not my #1 worry but it is something I try to keep an eye on.

    To clarify, when I say gassy I mean: consistently high gut sounds and passing gas on a semi-regular basis (when he's led out of his stall, when he's warming up, when he lifts his belly to get into work, anywhere from 5-6 times of note while I'm with him in a 2 hour period).

  4. Hmmm, I will look into the beet pulp question, thanks.

    I will be interested to hear how Tucker does, and it's good to hear that Pentosan is back in regular circulation. Definitely leaning toward getting a bottle for Tris with his next vet visit.

With the start of spring upon us, we knew that it was time to start cleaning out our closets and shopping for a new spring wardrobe. Taking a look at our closets made us wonder about the hidden closet habits of our fellow Americans. What do people spend on additions to their closet each season? How do most people organize their clothes? Dying to get answers, we conducted a survey of thousands of Americans to reveal their closet tendencies. You can find some of the most intriguing results below.

percentage of items worn in closet in the last 6 months

We were happy to find out that we aren’t the only ones guilty of buying clothes and never actually wearing them. More than 15% of women and nearly 20% of men said that they’ve only worn 10% or less of their closet in the last 6 months.

Shoe statistics

womens shoe ownership in America by region

With so many shoes options on the market, it can be difficult to keep a shoe collection to the minimum. While the majority of respondents claimed to own 10 or less pairs of shoes, around 12% of midwest women own 50 or more pairs. The women from the west seem to be the most minimalistic. This is a stark difference from celebrities like Kim Kardashian who are rumored to own hundreds of pairs of shoes!

It seems like women from the West have different opinions on shoe ownership than women from the South. Over 35% of western women own 5 or less compared to less than 25% of southerners. Meanwhile, nearly 10% of Southern gals own more than 50 pairs while only 5% of Westerners own that many.

average amount spend on a pair of shoes in America

It turns out that our survey respondents were frugal shoppers, with around 25% stating that they spend an average of $30 or less on a pair of shoes. Less than 5% said they spend more than $300 on new kicks.

average amount spend on a pair of shoes in America comparing men and women

Interestingly, men seem to be more willing to splurge on their shoes. Over 40% of male respondents spend an average of $51-$100 on shoes compared to less than 25% of females.

Shoe ownership in America comparing men and women

Although males might be willing to fork out more cash on their shoes, they typically own fewer shoes than women. Perhaps they value quality over quantity. Nearly 11% of women respondents own 21-30 pairs compared to only 2% of men.

Clothing statistics

Average amount spend on clothing additions each season in America by region

Although there were more obvious differences in shoe ownership by region, most of the country can agree that they will spend less than $50 on new clothes each season.

average time spend selecting an outfit comparing men and women

Not surprisingly, women seem to spend a little more time than men when it comes to picking out their outfits. Approximately 12% of women said that they spend 11-20 minutes on selecting the perfect look compared to 5% of men.

average amount of time spent selecting an outfit in America based by region

It seems like personal style and first impressions truly matters in the South. Our survey results revealed that women from the South were most likely to spend more than 30 minutes picking an outfit for the day.

percentage of Americans who admit to hiding a clothing purchase from their partner

While the majority of our respondents claim to be completely truthful to their spouse, women were more likely than men to hide a clothing purchase. 24% of women have hidden a purchase from their partner while only 15% of men have.

Closet statistics

most common ways to organize a closet comparing men and women

When it comes to closet organization, both genders can agree that the best way is to sort by type of clothing. Men were slightly more likely to organize by season while women were more likely to organize by color.

does your closet stress you out comparing men and women

Closets can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many options of what to wear, how to organize it, and what to purchase, but our respondents seemed to have the stress under control: 46% of females and 56% of males said that their closets do not stress them out.

Now that we’ve uncovered the secret closet habits of the average American, where do you stand on your relationship with your closet? Do you agree with what our respondents said or do you feel differently about your wardrobe? Let us know in the comments below.

What a great study topic! Thanks for sharing your survey results. I have been personally working on my wardrobe, both developing a personal style and managing the size for a couple of years. I really wanted to go minimalist with a capsule wardrobe, but discovered I just like playing with colors and style changes too much. Fun to see what other people do and how they feel about their clothes.

Fighting the Darkness

Cassidy Ristine, Staff Writer

On Feb. 27 at 7 p.m., a group gathered in Harned Hall. Composed largely of local community members, a handful of students, and at least one Saint Martin’s University faculty member, they trickled into a classroom on the first floor, greeting one another and offering refreshments. The event, sponsored by The Interfaith Movement club (TIM), was a showing of the documentary entitled, “To Light a Candle,” by Maziar Bahari.

Chantal Arevalo, secretary of The Interfaith Movement, and Belinda Hill, Ph.D.

Chantal Arevalo, secretary of The Interfaith Movement, and Belinda Hill, Ph.D.

This movie portrays the plight of the Bahá’í people living under an oppressive government in Iran. Associate Professor of Education Belinda Hill, Ph.D., proved influential in bringing this documentary to the attention of the club. Hill is a member of the Bahá’í faith community and has been involved in the Bahá’í Institute for Higher Education (BIHE).

Commenting on the relevance of such an event at Saint Martin’s, Dean Decker, a member of TIM, said, “I think it’s important to let people know that Saint Martin’s and the Lacey community at large—which will be a part of this—is more diverse than we think. … We’re here to try to relieve that stereotype and spread the word, and this, I think, is really helping, especially coming from a staff member that is so loved by so many of the students and well-known.”

As Hill introduced the documentary, she focused on the importance of being involved in fighting injustice. She asked those present to consider what they might be able to do, not only concerning the situation of the Bahá’í people, but also in other areas of injustice in our world.

How can you get involved?

Following her introduction, another member of the local Bahá’í community read a poem by Mahvash Sabet who is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Iran for educating Bahá’ís. The collection, “Prison Poems,” was published on the fifth anniversary of her 2008 arrest. “Lights Out,” the poem in question, soliloquizes life in prison and the protracted longing for the call, “Lights out!” in the evening.

“You can’t see the sorrow after lights out,” Sabet writes.

Then, the time came to watch the documentary. “To Light a Candle” gives a summary of historical details regarding the Bahá’í faith—especially in relation to the nation of Iran—and follows the stories of several Bahá’í people who have experienced suffering for the sake of their religious beliefs.

Although the Bahá’í faith originated in Iran, it has become a global religion with about seven million believers around the world. Baha’u’llah founded the religion in 1863, and although Bahá’ís have experienced varying degrees of difficulty since the 19th century, the level of religious persecution in Iran heightened after the Islamic revolution in 1979. As a result, many Bahá’í people have been forced to relocate.

Kayvan Rahimian and several of his family members play an important role in the storyline of the film. Rahimian’s father, Rahim, was arrested when Kayvan and his brother were still young. Rahim endured terrible torture and was ultimately executed in the fall of 1983. During this time, the Iranian government engaged in a systematic pattern of oppression, frequently arresting and executing Bahá’í leaders.

As the violence against Bahá’ís in Iran gained publicity, people around the world became interested in their suffering. Due largely to the weight of public opinion, the Iranian government was forced to stop mass executions in 1986. They were not forced to encourage prosperity and progress for the Bahá’í people, however, and Iran has consistently barred Bahá’ís from gaining a higher education.

According to their website, BIHE was founded in 1987 due to “the Iranian government’s continuing campaign to deny Iranian Bahá’ís access” to a college education.

In its earliest stage, BIHE degrees were not considered legitimate in Iran or in other countries. By the mid-1990s, however, a number of universities around the world began accepting BIHE degrees.

Despite Iranian propaganda against BIHE, arrests and imprisonment of Bahá’í students and educators, and the continual vandalism of businesses and even burial grounds, the Bahá’í people continue to thrive.

Youcan assist the Bahá’ís in their fight for equal rights by supporting the #EducationIsNotACrime campaign, along with Rainn Wilson, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and many others. Visit the website at to learn more, or check out the video “Educators in Prison,” by Aziz Tebyanian, a short documentary dealing with Bahá’í educators as well as educators of other religious groups who have suffered for taking a stand.

As the Chinese proverb goes, “Don’t curse the darkness, light a candle.”
