logotipo PCM - Process Communication Model | Lead Your Communication

++ Attitude

Taibi Kahler makes clear there can only be communication when we apply a + + communication attitude.
The moment we put a condition to our value or our conversation partners’ value, we start communicating under stress.

PCM gives us observable indicators to identify this conditioning.

New leadership styles. New levers for communication

Authoritarian leadership to make people comply doesn’t work anymore.
Leadership implies: motivation, implication, adaptation, autonomy, development… and this is achieved through our way of asking, transmitting and receiving.

Examples of questions to a leader

How am I going to inform John that he will not participate in this project he really hoped for (without demotivating him) ++ ?

How do I ask Rick to be stricter with his clients when all he wants to do is being liked (Motivating him to be strict) ++ ?

How do I tell Mary that her colleagues complain about her for being so demanding (Motivating change) ++?

Six personality types: six different languages

PCM - Process Communication Model | Lead Your Communication

According to PCM®, the personality structure of a person is formed by six types of personality.

Each personality type has different needs and speaks a different ‘language’. Each person has one or two types which will condition the majority of their reactions.

Thanks to Taibi Kahler, founder of the model, we discover how communication changes when we start being in distress, as well as the signals we need to detect and how we should react.

  • We will discover the process of how we communicate, how we motivate and how we go under distress.
  • We will discover how to act
  • We will know how to communicate efficiently.

And we will train ourselves until this becomes a real skill

A surprise for executives who use PCM on a daily basis

“the team dynamics changed so much! Jacob finally does what is expected when it’s expected from him! Absenteeism and presenteeism really decreased!”

SOLIDO, IN, civil law. In solido, is a term used to designate those contracts in which the obligors are bound, jointly and severally, or in which several obligees are each entitled to demand the whole of what is due.
     2.-1. There is an obligation in solido on the part of debtors, when they are all obliged to the same thing, so that each may be compelled to pay the whole, and when the payment which is made by one of them, exonerates the others towards the creditor.
     3.-2. The obligation is in solido, or joint and several between several creditors, when the title expressly gives to each of them the right of demanding payment of the total of what is due, and when the payment to any one of them discharges the debtor.

Grand Urban Rules

Design Rules and Design With Rules!

Cities as cultural products are neither ‘built’ nor ‘planned,’ at best they are guided and steered in a certain direction. Therefore, rules and regulations are one of the few tools that are actually suitable to guide future development within such collective and complex urban settings.

We strongly believe that the field of (urban) design should not simply adhere to these standards as some neutrally existing context but should actively engage in discussing them in order to make them subject to design as well. read more

Office for urban regulation

Height Range

Altogether 55 high-rise projects are approved for the next 8 years, and these have to be graduated in height. A building is a high-rise if it is at least 25 m in height (LH).

UAV-based mapping of the Porgera mine

Leica UAV brings efficiency to environmental monitoring

Papua New Guinea, one of the most rural and unexplored places on the planet, challenges surveyors with its dense rainforest, swamps, steep valleys and mountains up to 4,500 meters to find new ways to create accurate measurements. To defy these difficulties, the experts are forced to search for new innovative solutions to obtain precise results and found their perfect match in the use of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

When Benchmark Survey & Design, experts specialised in topographic site surveying from North Queensland, Australia, were contracted by the Porgera Mine Survey Team to map spill grounds around the secluded mine located at the head of the Porgera Valley in highlands at an altitude of 2,200 to 2,700 m, they needed to find a new method of surveying. As the captured data would be used for environmental monitoring of the dump sites generated by the mine, accuracy was of the utmost importance.

Mapping dangerous terrain with an UAV

airborne photogrammetry to survey a mine

In an area where landslides and earthquakes are common and with only five days available to map, Benchmark Survey & Design determined a survey by air would be the safest and most efficient way to collect the needed data. As the firm needed more experience in using Leica Geosystems UAV, it turned to Spatial Technologies, an Australian firm with more than 20 years in geographic information systems (GIS), to provide an UAV pilot. Flying Leica Geosystems UAV and collecting data in various environments for the past two years, Spatial Technologies was up for the challenge.

With two sites to capture around the mine, Anjolek at 380 Hectares and Anawe at 250 ha, the pilot, Anton van Wyk, had to carefully plan his route in the flight planning software. Facing several challenges, like steep and unattainable terrain only accessible by helicopter, use of the helicopter only available one out of the five days to map, and extreme weather with heavy fog in the mornings and continuous rainfalls in the afternoon, reduced the time bucket to only a few hours each day to survey. Anton’s precise plan rested upon the durability and dependability of Leica Geosystems UAV solution.

“Leica Geosystems UAV provided better results than what Porgera Mine Survey Team expected, even in such rough terrain,” said Wayne Storey from Benchmark Survey & Design. “Though the mine survey team had someone prior fly this mission, the team didn’t receive the expert mapping and processing of the data the UAV delivered with its more advanced sensors.”

With 32 total flights at about 10 minutes each, Spatial Technologies collected 9,100 orthophotos at a 5 cm ground sampling distance. While Benchmark Survey & Design only need sub-metre accuracy for the project, Spatial Technologies was actually able to supply 10-20 cm accuracy with strategically placed controls in conjunction with the RTK on the UAV. The entire project was processed in about 96 hours to provide visual documentation of volume changes in the spill grounds.

More than just volumes

Combining the orthophotos from Leica Geosystems UAV with older data and point clouds of the site created by laser scanning technology, engineers and environmentalists on the project were enabled to go beyond just volume calculations. Together with the many forms of data collected, they can now see visible proof of vegetation changes and conduct slope analyses.

As the dangerous terrain evokes dangerous conditions for surveyors, measurements were previously being taken few and far in between. With the safer and quicker UAV survey, the mine survey team can now monitor on a more regular basis to manage issues sooner and rectify problems before they become major concerns.

“Aerial surveys with an UAV can not only be done quicker than with traditional methods, but with the advanced sensors it can carry, we can gain the same if not better accuracy, as well, “said van Wyk. “Since surveyors don’t have to enter risky areas, too, to set up instruments, the UAV also makes our jobs safer.”

When terrain creates obstacles on the ground, UAVs are able to overcome from above. Opening access to more and more areas, Leica Geosystems UAV solution is creating new opportunities across the globe.

Bob Gottliebsen is right: Scott Morrison is out of his depth as PM

Bob Gottliebsen made an especially interesting comment in his column for The Australian today. Commenting on the Morrison government’s first coronavirus rescue package, which was generally felt to have missed its mark, Bob slipped in an observation that might easily have gone through to the ‘keeper.

Bob wrote: “The world saw our first ‘rescue attempt’, where [the government] thought we could overcome the problem with higher depreciation allowances and giving more money to the elderly and welfare recipients, as not only crazy but as confirmation we had a government which was out of its depth.”

One reason it may not have raised an eyebrow is that the observation that Morrison is incompetent is made often enough on social media.

But it’s something else again when Australia’s most respected business columnist matter-of-factly dismisses a government – and by logical extension the head of that government – as not just misguided or mistaken but “out of its depth”.

Love or hate our prime ministers, agree or disagree with them, there is generally an assumption in the electorate that anyone who makes it to the top must be competent, able and smart.

The last time Australians thought otherwise was the prime-ministership of William McMahon (1971-2). McMahon served as a minister in the Menzies, Holt and Gorton governments, occasionally with distinction, and was external (foreign) affairs minister when he deposed John Gorton to become PM. But the position of prime minister was a step too far for the ambitious and scheming McMahon: he seemed overwhelmed by the job, an anachronism in the new decade and had become the plaything of the magisterial Gough Whitlam who swept to power in 1972. McMahon was conspicuously out of his depth.

What about Tony Abbott you ask? It’s true, he had no business being prime minister. But Abbott was an aberration, a terrible mistake, which the electorate understood the moment he was sworn in. When he was replaced by Malcolm Turnbull, the nation breathed a sigh of relief and it was understood that this was something never to be spoken of again.

As for Turnbull, he looked and sounded the part and was obviously bright, but the nation was deprived of the “best Malcolm” when he retired “angry Malcolm”. Bob Hawke gave up the grog when he became PM, but he was still Hawkie. Turnbull without the fire in the belly became strangely one-dimensional. There was no Keating electricity and spontaneity, none of Whitlam’s crash-through-or-crash, no hint of Fraser’s authority.

That peculiar brand of Christian mongrel

Australians knew Turnbull was stymied by his party’s right, but for this he received neither sympathy nor allowance. People expected him to stiffen his spine and take on the recalcitrants, to put principle before internal politics, to fight for what he believed in. Turnbull called it pragmatism, the electorate saw it as appeasement. There was no dancing in the street when Turnbull was toppled; nobody wanted him to go that way. But was he missed? People were missing Turnbull even when he was PM.

And so to Scott Morrison. A man of some attainment before entering parliament, in a LinkedIn kind of way. Lots of fancy job titles, but always a nagging suspicion that something was not quite right.

As Minister for Immigration and Border Protection and later Minister for Social Services Morrison got to demonstrate that peculiar brand of Christian mongrel that presents itself as tough love. As the nation’s underwhelming Treasurer Morrison gave the distinct impression that all in all he’d rather be in Philadelphia. Whatever a BSc in economic geography is, neither it nor his experience as a senior minister prepared him for the Treasurer’s job, so better to chuck that in and go for the boss’s job (once again setting off that LinkedIn vibe).

When he became PM in 2018 he mysteriously took on the cringeworthy persona of the daggy-dad prime minister, complete with baseball cap, goofy smile and backyard-barbecue bonhomie. Once elected PM in his own right the character disappeared.

Scotty from Marketing had simply created a temporary brand in the lead up to the 2019 federal election: the dufus-daryl persona was meant to assure the electorate that he was not a back-room assassin of prime ministers and to lull Labor into a false sense of security.

Morrison is not very bright. But he is wily, or as an outback philosopher might prefer, “cunning as a shithouse rat”.

Once he was unexpectedly returned to office – Morrison proving a better campaigner than Bill Shorten – the Gomer Pyle persona disappeared. In its place the electorate was treated to more of that bitter, hard-faced preacher that preceded the man in the baseball cap. The goofy smile became a thin-lipped scowl and the happy eyes became lifeless lumps of coal. When Morrison forgets himself he takes on the look that will be familiar to anyone who has been to a Catholic school: the half-crazed, half-nutter priest, volatile and totally unpredictable. (Imagine Morrison in a cassock and amaze yourself at how easily the image comes to mind.)

Deny, dissemble and divert

Of course, looks are neither here nor there when competence is what most voters look for in their leaders. Malcolm Fraser as prime minister was no cuddle-bunny but that didn’t stop him from winning three successive elections.

But Morrison? He has no redeeming features as prime minister. None.

His first response to criticism or ministerial scandal is to deny, dissemble and divert, even when he does not know the facts, and worse, when he does. Once it is clear that he has denied the undeniable he will maintain his position to the death. He resents being questioned by journalists or by the opposition in Question Time and will point blank refuse to answer a question not to his liking. When he does deign to “answer” a question he treats his interlocutor to a steaming torrent of word vomit.

Under Morrison, Question Time is a bigger joke than usual, ministerial standards and ministerial responsibility have been essentially jettisoned, the public service has been compromised and to quote policy wonk Kevin Rudd, Morrison is “showing himself to be an abject failure in the engine room of public policy”.

Delays in the formulation of policy in response to fast-moving events are explained away as methodical and considered deliberation. The responses to the national bushfires and the coronavirus pandemic were nothing of the kind. They were slow, misdirected and inadequate.

Even before these events, the Australian economy was showing signs of distress. Despite blather about an “economic plan”, the government was armed with nothing more than its delusional budget surplus.

Morrison is super-sensitive to criticism. Rather than being seen to submit to the opposition’s charges of a flailing economy the government stubbornly maintained that everything was going to plan. When the pandemic struck, Morrison and his successor as Treasurer Josh Frydenberg insisted that the promised surplus was inviolate. A position only reluctantly dropped.

Morrison’s biggest concern was that his stimulus measures were not compared with the Rudd government’s stimulus package following the GFC. Morrison harbours a visceral loathing of Rudd and his former Treasurer Wayne Swan, which extends to their stimulus package. The objectives of Morrison’s response to the coronavirus was to deliver a stimulus package that was seen as the antithesis of the Rudd-Swan program: methodical, considered and proportionate.

Scott Morrison is petty-minded, petulant and peevish. Australians have seen this time and time again. One has only to think of the scandals engulfing Angus Taylor and Bridget McKenzie and Morrison’s unblinking defence of the indefensible.

These are not attributes that ensure a level-headed and intelligent response to policy challenges and national emergencies.

For anyone who retained any doubt about Morrison’s competence, his handling of the coronavirus emergency should remove any such doubt. Bob is right. Morrison is out of his depth.

Lithoz - 3D Printing Opens Up A New Chapter For Ceramics

By Karin Hofmann

Lithoz is an additive manufacturing company that has developed patentable methods and formulas for fabricating high-performance ceramic products with industrial applications that could not have been realised using traditional technologies. It has created 3D printers, a variety of new ceramic materials and dedicated software for printing production. Before the development of the lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) process, the density and strength of 3D-printed ceramics were not sufficient to meet the standards of the ceramic industry. With its technology and materials, Lithoz now achieves a high level in the material properties of density and strength, and its quality and precision are such that the process can be used for serial production.

Amy Johnstone

Hello, I’m Dr. Amy Johnstone. I was born and raised in the Cincinnati area & received my BS in Biology in town at Xavier University. I then received my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the Ohio State University in 1991. Becoming a veterinarian was a childhood dream of mine come true. My husband Kevin and I enjoy living in the Cincinnati area with all it has to offer, and are part of a large closely knit family. Hobbies include camping, gardening and other outdoor activities. We share our house with Dunkel, a black lab and 2 kitties, Willie and Waylon.

Kristen DuVal

Hello I’m Dr. Kristen DuVal. I was born and raised in Greater Cincinnati and received my BS in Biology and Psychology from Xavier University. After completing my undergraduate work I studied at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts and completed my veterinary clinical year at The Ohio State University. I have always loved animals and dreamed of being a veterinarian since I was a child. My husband and I love this area of the country as there is something different to do every week. We have two coconut retrievers from St. Kitts, two cats and a horse to round out our family. Hobbies in my spare time include reading, biking along the many trails, and traveling.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.

Veterinary Technicians

Amanda Archer

Hey everyone! My name is Amanda, and I work as an RVT here at Liberty. Born and raised in small town Northwest Ohio, I made my way down to the ‘Nati on a track scholarship to UC where I earned my degree in Biology in 2016. After taking several classes at the Cincinnati Zoo, I knew I wanted my passion for animals to turn into a career. I graduated from UCBA with a degree in Veterinary Technology in the spring of 2018 and was happily hired here at Liberty after graduation. Advocating for our furry friends and giving them the best medical care makes each day unique and rewarding. I married my high school sweetheart in 2017, and we have 3 crazy fur babies at home. Chance is a deaf husky mix who loves pestering our two opinionated cats, Cricket and Charlotte. I look forward to working with you and caring for your pets!

Hi there, my name is Cristy. I have been working at Liberty Veterinary Hospital since early 2014. I am an RVT, who graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2016. LVH has been the place that I have been taking my own dogs to ever since I was a little lady. So once I started working here, let’s just say I was very happy to finally see what was behind the swinging doors! I worked as a kennel assistant when I first started, and then became a lab assistant during school. I have two dogs currently, Oliver and Kaylie. Oliver is a big happy boy who loves every living thing he meets. Kaylie, on the other hand, is much more shy (Hey, like me!). I enjoy being outside, I love to go on walks or hiking, & I am also a huge sucker for flowers. On the flip side, I also enjoy the indoor life, video games, Netflix, and being a dork surfing the web.I look forward to meeting you and your animals here at LVH!”

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. At a young age I found that I had an intense passion for animals. I showed horses in 4-H which ignited the fire to push me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I attended The University of Cincinnati: Blue Ash where I met the love of my life, Patrick. I graduated in 2017 and went on to obtain my license as a Registered Veterinary Technician. Straight out of school I took a position at a 24 hour emergency clinic for 2.5 years where I gained irreplaceable knowledge and skills which I hope to apply here at LVH. I have 3 fur babies at home: Chewie (Tibetan Terrier), Lando(Lab/Pit Mix) and Kitty(DSH). All 3 are rescues from the SPCA. In our free time my husband and I love to spend time with our fur babies, shooting, swimming and playing video games.

When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.

-A.D. Williams

Veterinary Assistants

Hey there, my name is Erica. I started working at LVH in July of 2016. Ever since I was young I had always wanted to work with animals. Now I work as a lab assistant, alongside techs and doctors to help patients feel better.

I have one dog of my own, a small Pekinese mix named Balto, who is a bundle of personality. In my free time when I’m outside I enjoy hiking, swimming and recently I’m getting back into golfing. On the other hand I don’t mind hanging out inside playing video games, and sitting down to watch movies.

Hello everyone! My name is Spencer, and I have been working at Liberty Veterinary Hospital starting in January of 2018. I am a Lab Assistant, working alongside the doctors and technicians. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have always lived with three in my home. Currently, I have two dogs and a cat. I have a Cairn Terrier, an Australian Sheppard, and a Tabby cat. I really enjoy the satisfaction of returning a happy, healthy pet to its owner!

Hi! I’m Velia Brock, a lab assistant at Liberty Veterinary Hospital. I have loved animals all my life, and was known as “the crazy cat lady” at Monroe Local Schools. I have two cats, Fire, who is super fluffy, and Zeke, still a kitten at heart. I also have two dogs, a German Shepard named Bella, and a long haired Dachshund, Sofia. I’m so excited to be working here, considering I get to pet cute animals and get paid at the same time! I also feel as though I would be making my younger self proud doing something I love: helping animals.

An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.

Client Care

Hi! My name is Lisa and I am a new receptionist here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital. My husband, Jeff and I have been blessed with a daughter and two sons. We also share our home with our Schnauzer-Beagle-?? mix, Pluto. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, playing games, hiking and spending time with my family. I have always loved animals and am looking forward to meeting all the wonderful pets here at LVH.

Hello, My name is Rachel Dickinson, and I am a receptionist at Liberty Vet. I have been working at Liberty Vet since June, 2012, and have enjoyed every minute of it! When I first moved into the area I thought it was going to be very hard to find a good and knowledgeable vet for my dog Cowboy. I was wrong! Ever since I walked in the door with my first dog all of the staff has been very helpful and trusting. Now that I have three dogs Cowboy four year old beagle, Whiskey two year old beagle, and our failed foster dog Duke 10 year old boxer mix, I always feel at home when I bring any of my dogs here. I love animals, and am blessed to be working in a great environment.

Hi, I’m Laura. I started at Liberty vet the summer of 2018. I am married and have 2 sons, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 goldfish.

My first jobs were working with Standardbred horses on a breeding farm, and on race tracks from Ohio to California. Then I was a Medical Laboratory Technician in the US Army. After discharge, I through-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1980. I have been involved “in dogs,” and specifically with standard longhaired dachshunds, most of my life, in various venues of tracking, field trials, conformation shows, obedience trials, agility, earthdog tests, and more. I have been a licensed judge of dachshund field trials since 1985. In 2017, I retired after 27 years as an RN. I began working as a receptionist at Liberty Vet Hospital in July 2019, and love the people here, our clients, their pets, and my job! Pictured with me are my two dogs 15 year old Owl and 4 year old Shaki.

Hello, my name is Jane and I am the professional groomer here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital. I started here in August 2006 and over the years have enjoyed myself very much working with all my doggie friends (and their owners). I have been grooming for 40+ years and work hard to do the best job I can for each dog, while educating their owners on proper maintenance for use at home between visits. A well groomed dog is a happy dog, and I try to send every dog home feeling and smelling better than when they arrived.I currently share my home with Kaiya, my Australian Shepherd, and 2 kitties, Traci and Lucy. I also have 4 beautiful grandchildren that I enjoy spoiling. Reading, gardening and crocheting are some other hobbies I enjoy.Liberty Veterinary Hospital is a wonderful place to work because everyone there is like family. I look forward to each day I am at work.

Hi I’m Mckenna Martin and I have been working in the kennel at liberty veterinary hospital since February 2019, I love working with each individual animal. Making them feel safe and having fun during their stay. I plan to continue my education at the university of Cincinnati studying to become a veterinary technician where then I will work will small animals. I have two bundles of joy that I share my life with a poodle terrier mix Sofie and a Boston terrier Roscoe. When I’m not at work I like to spend my time outside with my dogs or with my friends and family.

Hi my name is Savannah and I have been a kennel assistant here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital since April 2017. I have always known that I wanted to become a veterinarian. Here at LVH, I really enjoy getting to work with and take care of our boarders and the experience that it will give me. In my free time I enjoy volunteering at a local no kill shelter. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I currently share my house with one dog and two cats: a loving lab mix named Casey, a tortoiseshell named Chloe, and an orange tabby named Thomas.

Tyler Ficorilli

I’m Tyler. I started working in the kennel here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital on July 15, 2016. I love working here because I want to be a veterinarian later in life, and I get to be around animals all the time, even if I’m doing the dirty jobs. But to me, that doesn’t matter, because I get to do something that I enjoy, rather than working a job I am not interested in. Probably my favorite part of working here is taking care of all the animals and getting to interact with them.

Hi my name is Joey, I have been working at Liberty Vet since 2019. I really enjoy getting to spend my time taking care of animals. I love working with dogs and cats but also enjoy the more exotic animals like bearded dragons. in my free time i like to be an active member in ffa and play with my dogs.

Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That’s the problem.

-A.A. Milne

My name is Alicia, and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and Lab Manager here at Liberty Veterinary Hospital. I graduated from the Raymond Walters Veterinary Technology program in 2007, and started working at LVH at that time. I have been in the veterinary field in some fashion since 2000.I love my job! I have known since I was 7 years old that I wanted to spend my life working with animals. There is nothing more rewarding to me than knowing I have had a hand in helping an animal in need.Liberty is a wonderful hospital. The doctor’s are very intelligent and keep up with all of the new and innovative medical technology there is today. I feel honored to work with such a talented and caring staff. My husband Ben and I share our house with our 2 boys – Wyatt & Hank; our kitty, Rupert; our 4 sweet hens that provide us with the most delicious eggs everyday; 2 goldfish; and our amazing pibble, Karl.

I’m Jean, the Kennel Manager for Liberty Vet. I’ve been here since April of 2013. I really enjoy it here working with the dogs, cats and an occasional guinea pig or rabbit, along with the staff members who also love animals.I am also the resident Dog Trainer, helping owners enjoy their dogs more by helping correct problem behaviors and learning basic commands using positive reinforcement.I share my home with dogs, cats, bearded dragons, a tortoise, fish, goats and a horse. I also work part time at Safe Haven Farms as Direct Support Staff for autistic adults, plus I’m an Avon Representative and 4H Advisor for Classy Canines & Critters.

Hey there friends! My name is Nick and I have been a proud member of the LVH family since 2002. I have been working with animals since 1998 and have always been surrounded by pets in my personal life. Over the years I have filled a variety of roles here at my second home, but nothing makes me happier than spending time with my furry friends (your furry family members). I am a graduate of the University of Cincinnati. I share my home with three amazing (yet devious) feline friends and my phenomenal girlfriend. I owe so much to the wonderful animals that have impacted my life, and I am grateful that LVH has given me the opportunity to give back to the fur people community.

Hi, I’m Rita and I’ve been with Liberty Vet since October 2000. I came here looking for a part time job and the opportunity to interact with a variety of pets I may not have been able to otherwise. I found instead a full time home away from home.

My current position often keeps me away from the front desk and more behind the scenes. I love the creative opportunity to do our social media, information boards, monthly newsletters and keep our webpage updated. It is a position that I could not have dreamed up, but one that I am so grateful to have. Away from Liberty you will find me enjoying creative activities such as crafting (love vintage!), gourmet cooking and baking. At this time of my life, I am without a pet, but fortunately not lacking from the affection of a pet. Working here has many benefits! Our multiple house cats keep me company, entertain me and inspire me every day.

A Thousand Splendid Suns: A Thousand Splendid Suns

Kabul by Saib-e-Tabrizi

(Translated by Dr. Josephine Davis)

Ah! How beautiful is Kabul encircled by her arid mountains
And Rose, of the trails of thorns she envies
Her gusts of powdered soil, slightly sting my eyes
But I love her, for knowing and loving are born of this same dust

My song exhalts her dazzling tulips
And at the beauty of her trees, I blush
How sparkling the water flows from Pul-I-Bastaan!
May Allah protect such beauty from the evil eye of man!

Khizr chose the path to Kabul in order to reach Paradise
For her mountains brought him close to the delights of heaven
From the fort with sprawling walls, A Dragon of protection
Each stone is there more precious than the treasure of Shayagan

Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye
Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls

Her laughter of mornings has the gaiety of flowers
Her nights of darkness, the reflections of lustrous hair
Her melodious nightingales, with passion sing their songs
Ardent tunes, as leaves enflamed, cascading from their throats

And I, I sing in the gardens of Jahanara, of Sharbara
And even the trumpets of heaven envy their green pastures

Saib-e-Tabrizi 17th Century

Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1965. His father was a diplomat in the Afghan Foreign Ministry and his mother taught Farsi and history at a high school in Kabul. In 1976, the Foreign Ministry relocated the Hosseini family to Paris. They were ready to return to Kabul in 1980, but by then their homeland had witnessed a bloody communist coup and the invasion of the Soviet Army. The Hosseinis sought and were granted political asylum in the United States, and in September 1980 moved to San Jose, California. Hosseini earned a medical degree in 1993.

In March 2001, while practising medicine, Hosseini began writing his first novel, The Kite Runner. Published by Riverhead Books in 2003, that debut went on to become an international bestseller and beloved classic, sold in at least seventy countries and spending more than a hundred weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. In May 2007, his second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, remaining in that spot for fifteen weeks and nearly an entire year on the bestseller list.

The goal of this unit is for students to understand that probability is a measure that we
use to make predictions about future events. Whereas some outcomes are
independent of one another, others are dependent on the outcome of previous events,
which affects the probability.
Throughout the unit, students will explore probabilities through experimental and
theoretical situations and problems.
The unit culminates with the students creating what they perceive to be a fair and fun
game of chance.

R. Vârbănescu, R. Dobrescu, A. Avram, A. Iordan

Politehnica University Bucharest (ROMANIA)
The World Wide Web has grown to the extent that information on virtually any subject is available to anyone, for free. This caused a fundamental change in a student's approach to a subject. The information contained in a traditional university course is not only available on line, but also explained and discussed, in various places on the Internet.

Having abundant sources of information on every subject, students don't feel it's important to understand the theory behind a particular subject. Instead, they find it easier to just search the Internet for the bit they need, when and if they need it.

A professor's part in academic courses can be looked at as two separate but complementary roles:
An informative role – in technical education this mainly consists of presenting important concepts, technologies, and processes set by the course's objectives. This role is losing its relevance inside lectures as students can get most of the information on line.
An educational role – this is the part that cannot be obtained from the Internet. In this role, a teacher explains common approaches to various tasks, encourages analytical thinking and makes connections to other topics. To accomplish this, a professor mostly relies on his / her personal experience in the field discussed.

Because of the availability of information, a growing number of students wrongfully get the impression that attending actual courses is obsolete, and that it's enough to pick up bits and pieces when they actually need them. By doing so, they miss out on the educative side of the training process

In order to reverse this trend in our department, we proposed two measures:
We changed the format of the courses. In order to create an interactive environment we shifted the focus from presenting information, to discussing it and putting it in context
We started setting the students more complex assignments. These are built in such a way that in order to complete them, students need to innovate, carefully plan their actions and understand the basic concepts presented in the course.

We believe that by changing our approach on teaching, we help students understand the educational (and not just informational) value of their courses. Also, by setting students complex tasks we encourage them to do more than simply apply ideas they find on the Internet.

The paper will include the significant cases we were faced with in the ongoing informative / educational debate caused by the extensive use of Internet in academia.

One example, that will be illustrated in the paper, is the different kind of approaches in completing assignments. There is a constant argument between the students' generic solutions taken off the Internet and professors' requirements for efficiency, performance and complexity. We find it increasingly difficult to make students understand why these unoriginal solutions don't meet our educational objectives.

As a conclusion, we could say that we are in a continuous educational war with the Internet.

How to Get a Free Copy of 'Assassin’s Creed II' This Week

Illustration for article titled How to Get a Free Copy of Assassin’s Creed II This Week
Illustration: Ubisoft

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II might be showing its age, but free is free.

The game came out in 2009, and there have been something like seven different sequels across five different time periods since. That’s fine, since every time I play Assassin’s Creed, I feel like I’m still missing some important part of the plot that I never quite got from the other titles. Going back to the series’ roots is a great way to familiarize yourself with what’s going on, especially if you just started playing the latest installment, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and double-especially if it won’t cost you anything.

Ubisoft’s offer comes with the usual laundry list of caveats. First, the free game is Windows-only—technically, Uplay is Windows-only, since you can totally purchase and download Assassin’s Creed II for macOS elsewhere. Ah, Ubisoft.

This offer is also only going to last for a small window of time. You’ll have until April 17 at 6:00 a.m. (your local time) to nab the free game, after which you will get nothing if you didn’t “purchase” it for the low cost of free.

Thankfully, Ubisoft makes the process painfully easy. Visit its website for the deal and log into your Uplay account. Click the “PC” button that eventually appears, and you’ll acquire the game. That’s it.

You don’t have to download Assassin’s Creed II or play it immediately, but it’ll now be in your library for as long as you want—waiting for you to take a trip in your time-travel machine (or Animus, or whatever) for some virtual runnin’, sneakin’, and stabbin’. I kid, but it is still a fun title, and worth exploring if you’ve already burnt your way through some of the other Assassin’s Creed games (even though we can all agree that Black Flag is still the best of them, right?)

And, hey, if you’re really good, you can beat it in less than a full, eight-hour workday:

Cheers, David! ACII (and its directly related sequels) is my favorite story line in the franchise; played it through on PS3 but will happily give it a revisit whirl on PC now.

Bad Santa

December 26, 2012

My second Christmas in Sanniquellie started hopeful and quiet enough.  I got up early and went to the market to buy meat for my soup.  The butcher gave me a nice cut of cow meat and, hidden between the fish stalls, I fortuitously found a woman with a pile of frozen chickens.

No one was harassing me.  No one was grabbing me.  No one was calling me white woman.  Perhaps it would be a good day.

I went home and started my preparations, cutting the meat and the pumpkin, cleaning the pin feathers from the chicken.  Then, as I knew they would, things started getting out of hand.

Everyone wanted something and what I had to offer wasn’t good enough.  They wanted money.  They wanted food.  They wanted me to dance for them.  Everyone demanded “gimme my Christmas!” but only one person offered me my own.

Christmas Eve, at about 9:00pm I heard a small voice on my porch.  “RB?  Come outside.  It’s me!”  I opened the door and small Zed shoved $5LD (about seven cents)  in my pocket.  “Merry Christmas, RB,” he smiled in the dark.

Thank god for him.

Having been through this once before I was prepared to take the day in stride and was doing ok until I went to draw water around 5:30.  I was on my second bucket when my neighbor across the street came over.  I greeted him and wished him Merry Christmas.  He just shook his head, “Things are not alright with you and me, Ma Rebekah.”  This was a shock.  I told him I didn’t understand and asked what was wrong.  He proceeded to tell me for half an hour that I had been the cause of a great humiliation for him and his family some two months ago.  I suffered my own great betrayal and his family, like many of my neighbors, was wrongly interrogated and embarrassed.  Then he said I had only made it worse by refusing to give him $150US to bail his wife out of jail (in a wholly unrelated incident).  “You told me you didn’t have it.  I’ve never been to school, but I’m a clever man, Ma Rebekah.  Don’t play with me.”

What is happening?  Why today?  Was it the palm wine talking or was he seriously mad at me?

I finally pulled myself free but as I lugged my buckets to the house, willing my mouth to stay shut, he yelled, “Pray about it, Ma Rebekah.  Pray about it and God will tell you what you need to do for me.  You need to do something for me.”  Then he threw in as an after thought, “What are you cooking?  Bring my own, ya hear?  Bring my own.

It is burning right now,” I hissed under my breath and disappeared into my house as fifteen children swarmed the door screaming for stick candy.  I chunked a fistful in the yard and barked, “Merry Christmas.  Now go, ya hear??

It was true.  My food had all spoiled along with my day as Miaway lashed me with his tongue.

I piled the blackened pots in the corner and poured myself a very stiff drink.  I don’t know how Santa does it, all this quiet, jolly giving to us ungrateful mortals…

I watched a Nigerian show about an angry, crazy, prince until the candles burned down and my battery died.  I really sympathized with him…

    Hi Rebekah: I stumbled onto your blog today over lunch at San Francisco State University. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I was a volunteer in Sanniquellie from 1988 until the war. On my second Christmas we drove into town only to find the streets empty and rumors about rebels crossing over from Cote d’Ivoire. Are you still in Sanniquellie? Wow. I have a thousand questions I’d like to pose to you, but I’ll restrain myself. I so empathize with your frustrations. I suppose the frustrations fade and the better memories remain. Good luck to you! Darryl Dieter

    • February 4, 2013 2:13 pm

      Hi Darryl! I am still in Sanniquellie and will finish my second year this summer. We are two in Sanniquellie, both teaching at Central High. Feel feel to email me any and all of your questions at and I’ll do my best to answer them. I was the first two year Volunteer to come to Sanniquellie since you left. There was one Response Volunteer before me but she was here less than a year. I look forward to hearing more from you!

Jeddah’s Andalus Underpass: The driver survived miraculously

The driver of a pickup vehicle survived a terrible accident and the people cannot deem it less than a miracle. The video shows that the driver of the pickup vehicle was on the Jeddah’s Andalus tunnel when his car deviated and was about to fall from the concrete barriers.

Luckily, his car remained suspended over the concrete barriers and did not fell. He was rescued and is as well. The car, however, is damaged. According to the Traffic Accident sections of Jeddah Governate, the car has suffered from damages, while the driver is safe.

The incident, however, has raised concern: is that a safe route? Can a car easily fall off from there? Shall authorities make it safer or shall it remain as it is? Can authorities assure that no such incident would occur in the future?

However, we urge all our fellows to be careful while driving you cannot always be lucky!

On the Road Again

A three day trip to Atlanta to see my son, with a brief stop in Greenville, SC, yielded many photos and wonderful memories.

This image is of a pre-civil war era building in Greenville. Only the shell remains and it is used as an event space.

I’ll be back to tell you about it soon, and to catch up on all of your adventures.

13 thoughts on “On the Road Again

    • I agree! I emailed the visitors center in an effort to learn the history of the building. Can’t wait to share more photos of it.

    • Atlanta is a fun city, for sure. So many neat little neighborhoods with wonderful pubs and restaurants. I already want to go back 🙂

Because Boomdee dared me: Lay a little sugar on me :-)

Group Takes Legal Action Over Lack of Abortion Services in Northern Ireland

A human rights group in Northern Ireland is taking authorized motion towards the federal government over its failure to offer abortion entry, the group introduced on Monday, a measure that highlights the persevering with battle for protected abortions greater than a 12 months after the process was legalized within the area.

The group, the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, cited deep issues a few lack of abortion companies, which it says has left a well being care void for a lot of girls and ladies.

Abortion was legalized in Northern Ireland in October 2019, overturning one of many world’s most restrictive abortion legal guidelines, however within the months since, girls searching for the process have confronted numerous roadblocks.

Les Allamby, the chief commissioner of the impartial physique behind the lawsuit, mentioned that it was necessary to do not forget that the difficulty “is a few important well being service for ladies.”

“Our focus is to make sure that human rights are upheld and the legislation handed in Westminster is applied in follow,” mentioned Mr. Allamby, whose group is answerable to British Parliament.

The authorized motion — a judicial assessment continuing filed in Northern Ireland’s High Court — takes intention on the secretary of state, Brandon Lewis; the Northern Ireland Executive; and the Department of Health for Northern Ireland for failing to fee and fund abortion companies.

The change to the area’s abortion legislation was pushed by way of in an modification to a routine invoice on governance of Northern Ireland and handed in British Parliament in 2019, which additionally legalized same-sex marriage.

Legal abortions started within the nation in April 2020, however the process has remained largely unavailable, with resistance coming from anti-abortion and church teams.

With the coronavirus ravaging the area, producing the very best variety of instances seen since this pandemic started, entry has develop into much more restricted. Hospitals are stretched, diverting important well being care employees elsewhere in some instances. This week, one of many 5 trusts that oversees hospitals within the area closed its abortion clinic when a well being care supplier went on medical depart. Another belief shut its abortion companies from October till Jan. four due to an absence of economic assets.

Travel restrictions have additionally exacerbated an already tough state of affairs, as many ladies in Northern Ireland have continued to journey to England to have the process. But the chance to their very own well being and the journey restrictions all through the final 12 months have made that every one however not possible, rights teams say.

The area’s Department of Health has did not problem any steerage on how the abortion companies ought to be supplied. The division beforehand issued a press release to the Belfast Telegraph saying it was not required to fee abortion companies. It mentioned additional selections about commissioning abortion companies would come from the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly after a public session. But the Northern Ireland Executive, the devolved authorities of the area, acquired requests from the division in April and May searching for to fee abortions, and has but to convey forth a debate.

Critics say the inaction is an excuse to delay the implementation of a strong program over a problem that is still a contentious one, with a few of the political events in energy nonetheless advocating towards entry to abortion. The Department of Heath and Northern Ireland Executive didn’t instantly reply to requests for remark.

But lawmakers in British Parliament have voiced concern concerning the problem, with the deputy chief of the Alliance Party, Stephen Farry, tweeting on Sunday, “It shouldn’t fall once more to the courts to make sure supply of the legislation. The legislation on abortion is now settled.”

While the remainder of the United Kingdom has made method for telemedicine companies for these searching for abortions, Northern Ireland has not, regardless of the well being minister being given particular powers to permit for telemedicine if vital, which he declined. Alliance for Choice, a Northern Irish reproductive rights group and a vocal critic of the shortage of companies, voiced its help for the authorized motion and mentioned that the difficulty has already reached a disaster level for a lot of girls and ladies.

Emma Campbell, the group’s co-chairwoman, mentioned that for most ladies searching for an early-term abortion, the method is a straightforward process of taking 5 tablets. Her group is offering “abortion doulas” to offer recommendation and help both by phone or by message.

Peter Cooper

The more banjos are in the world, the better….

Interview with Peter Cooper – journalist and musician

© Lilly Drumeva-O’Reilly

Peter Cooper has been a long time columnist for “The Tennessean,” writing about country music. He is also a Grammy nominated musician and songwriter. In November 2014, he left the newspaper and went to work for the Country Music Hall of Fame. I met Peter in 2013 at my hotel in Nashville and here is what we talked about:

Tell me about your role in the music industry?

I write for the biggest daily newspaper here in Nashville “The Tennessean.” I review music and special events, like the CMA awards last night. I interview artists and also teach country music history at Vanderbilt University. I play music and tour about hundred days a year.

How do you teach the history of country music? Do you start from the beginnings, the Carter Family and Jimmy Rodgers?

No, I start from the 80s and move up. Then I go back to the roots. Students have to learn first about something that they are already familiar with and then extend this knowledge.

Is Nashville the center of country music?

Nashville is becoming the biggest center of non classical music in the world, even ahead of New York. Apart from country music we have the greatest rock bands. We have swing and Americana, jazz and pop.

What do you play?

I play guitar and I sing. The music falls into the Americana category.

Are you a songwriter as well?

Yes, in fact, talking to people like Tom T. Hall, John Hartford, John Prine and Kris Kristofferson has helped me as a writer, understanding the craft.

Who has covered some of your songs?

Bobby Bear, Todd Snyder, Irene Kelly.

Why do you like country music, what is so exciting about it?

I like many things. The instruments in country music make a pleasing sound. I like the language, the interesting storytelling form. I love a lot of the singers and the singing.

Do you have a favorite line from a song?

Yes. There is a Guy Clark song called “Desperados Waiting for a Train”. It begins: I would play “The Red River Valley” and he’d sit in the kitchen and cry.” It’s about a young man’s relationship with an old man. When I hear this first line I am immediately transported to the scene. I want to know more.

How about the line “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose”? (Kris Kristofferson, Me & Bobbie McGee)

Oh yes, that’s great line. Kris Kristofferson has been really helpful to me. He is a kind person.

Do you like bluegrass music? Why is it so exciting?

I love it. The technical level is so high. You have to be a superb instrumentalist to play bluegrass properly. You are operating at a very high level musically and rhythmically. There is energy in the sound created by a bluegrass band, I love the harmonies.

What is the difference between bluegrass and country music?

I was just talking to my class today. It’s better to play them something, to show them the difference in sound. There are many exceptions. In modern country music the banjo is used more often than the pedal steel guitar. And the fiddle has almost disappeared.

How did you hear bluegrass music?

I was in high school. I got into a very progressive band, The Seldom Scene. I would go see them every week. The traditionalists would sneer at them because they played Bob Dylan songs. They were out of the box. They didn’t sound like Bill Monroe in 1945. To me, it was an entry point to so much new great music. I discovered Gram Parsons and Nanci Griffith.

What do you think about bands such as Mumford & Sons? Are they good for bluegrass?

Yes, it is an entry point. The more banjos are in the world, the better. I support real people playing real music.

Where is bluegrass music going to go in the future?

I think it will probably always be niche music. There is always a blow up and people think “oh, it’s going to become big’. But then it dies pretty quickly.

Thanks Peter, very nice talking to you.

Gong Fu Cha tea ceremony

In 2017 Liselore Halink of LiLo Ceramics was invited to create a Tea Set by the foundation “ZaaiGoed”. This foundation activates the minds of elderly people with Alzheimers decease or a visual handicap. A sense garden in Haarlem was especially designed for this purpose and explores the senses in their minds, like colour, smell, taste, texture and sound. By organizing activities that stimulate their senses and giving them a lot of special attention, elderly people (with Alzheimers) turn out to be capable of much more than we think. The activities also create social interaction between this vulnerable group and the Haarlem community. Part of this project, is inviting an artist each year, who creates a piece of art, inspired by the elderly and the garden. Interaction with these great people, is an important part of that.

Drinking tea creates connection between the invited and makes them telling stories. Liselore came up with the idea to create a Gong Fu Cha Tea Set. This ancient Chinese way of drinking tea opens up the senses one by one until they are all activated. By the warmth of the cups in your hands, the smell of the tea, the colour of the tea, the sound of pouring water and the rustle of the tea leaves. And very important, the taste of the tea.

Liselore designed the tea set in such a way that the ceremony members experience the evolution of Alzheimers decease. In the beginning the first signs are small nuisances. But as the decease evolves, the problems grow and make life extremely hard. Liselore created small holes in her porcelain teaset, created by things she and the elderly found in the sense garden. This symbolizes the way daily life changes for the patient but also the amount of holes you see on the X-ray of a brain of somebody with Alzheimers. The further the decease progresses, the more holes you’ll see. The first cups have small holes that makes drinking only a bit uncomfortable. You have to pay attention which side you use, in order no to spill the tea. The last cups are collapsing and have so many holes that makes it impossible to use them. It shows the harsh side of Alzheimers.

After working on the tea set and with the group for 3 seasons, Liselore organized several Tea ceremonies on several occasions. She did not use tea, but the different herbs from the sense garden, that stand for the 5 different senses. The ceremony did not only open up people’s mind in this way but also gave people the opportunity to tell stories about what Alzheimers means for them. During the last ceremony at Galerie SPW59 in Haarlem, the teaset was auctioned to contribute to the ‘ZaaiGoed’ foundation.

Everyone is special

My family has a tradition of celebrating Special Days. It started with my husband and I because we like to buy each other little gifts. We also don’t like the silly focus on how old someone is that comes along with birthdays. So we celebrate Special Days several times a year. It’s a surprise because your Special Day falls on whichever day the family has decided to honor how special you are.

I love how it reminds me to show my appreciation for my family members frequently. And isn’t that the best part about birthdays — to honor someone’s unique, God-given identity?

I don’t think God knows about our age or personality or what color hair we have. I think God has a completely different view because God isn’t like man, God is a Spirit. The one and only Spirit. Infinite Life. Everlasting Love.

It’s nice to know that there is One out there who is seeing us as we really are — spiritual, unique, and free; Her adoring image & likeness; The reflection, the mirrored image, of the Perfect One.

I hope to see everyone around me the way God sees us today: made of beautiful, shining qualities radiating & shining out to warm & bless everything around you.

2 thoughts on “Everyone is special

  1. Thank you, Lindsey, for sharing your family’s tradition of recognizing everyone is special and how important it is to show appreciation by honoring each one’s “unique, God-given identity”.

    For the first few years of our children’s life (in the human sense), I made very special cakes in the shape of animals on their birthday. We recorded the event with singing the traditional “Happy Birthday” song and taking photos. Now, when I view the photos, they provide warm reflective memories. Then, that “tradition” fell by the wayside. I don’t recall what was done, if anything, in between that time and the time my husband and I took “Primary Class in C.S.”. However, once we took class and became more aware of MBE’s statement regarding “recording ages” we followed it LITERALLY! No more celebration for birthdays for children or adults in our immediate family. I believe I even carried it to the extent of not sending birthday greetings to our other relatives such as parents and siblings — which is something I had done for years following our move to places not within any close proximity of any of our relatives.

    Recently, a C.S. friend mentioned the fact that her relatives recognized her on her birthday and she was trying to put that tradition in proper perspective and decided just because her family members recognized her birthday did not mean “age” had to be recognized or be a focus. It got me to thinking about the “birthday tradition”. I decided to begin a practice of calling our children on their “birthday” and just having a pleasant conversation with a mention of it being their special day, without thought or mention of age. As one might guess, I was greeted with surprise at hearing from their mom on this particular day. It has been a couple years since this began and I am grateful for the “special day” connections. Recently, it was my “special day” and I felt so blessed to be appreciated by my siblings and children. Telephone connections were made beginning at 5:30 in the morning with the last one being received at 10:00 in the evening. Only one sibling made mention of age and we laughed about it as I said, “Who wants to talk about that”?!!

    Having someone/everyone feel warm and blessed for their uniqueness is something for which to aim as I continue letting this thought of a “special day” unfold :o)
    So grateful for your sharing of your spiritual insight regarding a “special day” tradition and the FACT that everyone is truly special!!!

It’s All about You

Buddhist psychiatrist Mark Epstein recently posted side by side photographs on Instagram of a Zen Monk in meditation pose and the same monk in quarantine. The photographs are identical.

While most of us don’t have quite that much calm attending to self care is the influence we each have control over. It’s a very significant piece. It can make a huge difference in how we experience challenges. These troublesome times call for a strong emotional core and using ourselves as a resource. There is so much now, as always that we don’t have control over. This lack of control is not new or different it’s just very much in our faces now. We can however chose our response. Pay attention to what works to refuel yourself and manage stress.

Sift through all the information out there. Too much news is not a good thing. There are a wealth of online opportunities to access from home. Choose what are a good fit for you. Maybe it’s music,  exercise classes, books or recipes, meditations and inspirational or soothing reading or recordings. Meditation is an opportunity to access yourself as a resource. Try it for short periods if you are new to it. There are lots of instructional and guided resources online.

Your particular circumstances and temperament affect your experience. If you are a highly sensitive introvert you may welcome the support to filter out the world and taking more down time. If you are active or intense that very same isolation may be one of your bigger challenges. You are probably experiencing some very concrete challenges too. Maybe you have children at home all the time now while you are trying to work from home or you are not able to work at all.

Anxiety and stress will not keep you safe or well or pay your bills. Prioritize your self care as a way to make these challenges less emotionally costly. I like to think that in the midst of all the hardships we are all experiencing in very solitary ways that we can also take solace in how connected we are. We are all on the same planet, struggling and learning  together.

Take good care of yourselves out there.

Attention highly sensitive parentsElaine has a new book just for you, The Highly Sensitive Parent: Be Brilliant in Your Role, Even When the World Overwhelms You. It comes out on March 31st, a week from today. If you order from her website you can get an autographed copy.

** My next blog, Finding Enough: a Call to Flexibility and Filtering, a Challenging Opportunity for Highly Sensitive Parents to Thrive, will be up on 4/1/20. It’s a long one, the self care guide for HS parents to go with Elaine’s new book.

Re: Broken link - Debian Flyers

I think that the file is README.html which is part of the
/events/materials folder which is present in www-master.debian.org but
not in Salsa. I have updated the link there, hopefully it will be online
in the next hours.

> I did not find this page on Salsa.

I think we should remove the "materials" folder from www-master, since
the page https://www.debian.org/events/material links indeed to the
debian-flyers pages in Salsa, and this "materials/" are only linked in
old News DPN (published in 2002/2003).

If these old materials should be kept, my proposal is that they are
hosted in the  https://debian.pages.debian.net/debian-flyers/ site
(perhaps as a tar.gz that people interested in historical versions can
download), and we update the links present in www.debian.org accordingly.

I've put a compressed file with all the current contents of
www.debian.org/events/materials in

Other option is to just remove everything and update the old links to
the current debian-flyers web page.

In this mad mad world

When I stand on the precipice

I let down my hair

Wind swept it literally

And I ain’t no Shakespeare

Yet bemused I can be

By the high and the low

The dramas of a society

I ain’t no Sherlock Holmes

But can observe clearly

Past the facade of warmth

The stark reality

And I’m no solitary loon

But when its just you and me

Alone in our solitude

They may say I’m-a crazy

But after a dose of rush

That defines a modern city

I need a moment to myself

In your undemanding company

– Akanksha Gupta

According to Wikipedia:

Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people “traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes”

So, I suppose attracting people from Lacey to come to Olympia counts, but it certainly doesn’t fulfill my expectations of what tourism for our area should achieve, which is bringing new people to the area. People with money from “really out of town”, not just Lacey. Our local tourism organization fails to deliver, but like many other local organizations, feeding the paying members is more important then actually having a vision for the community.
