Postcards from the Edge 2021
Postmark Deadline for Artwork: November 23rd, 2020
Postcards from the Edge 2021 - Call for Submissions
2021 will mark the 23rd year of Visual AIDS' benefit art sale and we hope that you will participate. Postcards from the Edge is Visual AIDS' most popular and successful annual benefit event. It is not only a highlight of the art world each year for artists and collectors, but also provides essential funding to help us carry out our mission and programming.
After much consideration and guidance from experts in healthcare and leadership, Visual AIDS has decided to transition to a VIRTUAL event this year, and will hold the sale online in January 2021. Details TBD. For more information, please click "HOW WILL AN ONLINE EVENT WORK?"
Questions? Email info@visualaids.org.
** Do not call the office number or stop by our office if you have questions, as staff are still primarily working from home. Beginning October 1, we will have some postcard "kits" available outside our office door if you would like to stop by to pick one up.
1. Create or attach an original artwork on a postcard or any 4x6" heavy weight paper. Drawings, photographs, paintings, printmaking, and mixed media are welcome. ONE ENTRY per artist.
**This year, all artworks will need to be scanned and will only be viewable online. You may want to choose the medium and style of your artwork with this in mind. Please note that fluorescent colors should not be used because fluorescence cannot be represented digitally and the colors will look entirely different. Additions like sequins and glitter, which look great in person, may not represent accurately in a digital scan. 3D works, artworks with surfaces that are very textural, have items attached to the surface, have ragged or unusual edges, are oversized (larger than 4 x 6"), or are not rectangular may not reproduce well in a scanned image and may have their edges or shapes cropped within the format of the web pages designed for the event.
2. Sign and Print Name on BACK ONLY. Also, indicate the top with an arrow.

6. If you would like your unsold work returned, please include a 6x9" self-addressed, stamped envelope with proper postage. Unsold artwork will NOT be returned unless an SASE is enclosed. Visual AIDS is not responsible for artwork lost or damaged in the mail.
7. Mail your artwork and forms by POSTMARK DEADLINE Monday, November 23, 2020
Mailing address: Visual AIDS, 526 West 26th Street, #510, New York, NY 10001
PFTE is one of our most important fundraisers of the year, and its success will allow us to produce important art activism projects in 2021. By participating, artists support our mission, enabling us to produce AIDS-focused contemporary art programs and provide supplies and assistance to artists living with HIV/AIDS, many of whom are unable to continue producing work without such support.
THANK YOU - The support of artists makes this event a success each year. We couldn't do it without you!

Our first Santa Fe visit together was in 1994. We'd been dating for just over a year, and George shared with me his American haunts on a cross-country drive that summer (a drive we've repeated every summer since). We walked into the Dragon Room Bar at the Pink Adobe early on a weekday afternoon. The room was nearly empty, except for a small woman at a round wooden table painted with dragons and planets and roosters.
Sitting on the bench on either side of her were two large dogs, Gina Lollobrigida and Don Juan, drinking from blue glass bowls bearing their names in silver paint. The accomplished flamenco guitarist Ruben Romero serenaded the trio from a barstool a few feet away.
Don Juan moved closer to Gina so that George could sit closer to Rosalea. I stood and waited.
She ignored his introduction, and she ignored me, and I got the feeling that my presence represented Romain's absence and so, before I'd even said hello, I was the enemy.
We walked across the courtyard to The Pink Adobe, a restaurant housed in a three hundred year old adobe building. In the 1940s Rosalea moved to Santa Fe from her hometown, New Orleans, and sold hamburgers from a vending cart on the street (the Old Santa Fe Trail), using the money she made at lunch to buy the meat for dinner. Within a few years she purchased the building and opened her own restaurant, The Pink Adobe, where she became famous for her gypsy stew, chicken enchiladas, and apple pie.
"What was the joke?" I asked.
(This is a g-rated blog. If you're over 18 and can't guess the missing four-letter word that rhymes with rock and clock and hollyhock, then you're out of luck. If you're under 18, you shouldn't be guessing).
What looked like a price tag hung from the painting.
George returned to the table, surprised to find us laughing and exchanging stories like old friends. I almost lost her that same night, however, when I asked about Georgia O'Keeffe. Rosalea disliked both O'Keeffe and her paintings, never understanding why anyone would care about her flowers and her skulls (as opposed to dragons and roosters, I suppose). She (along with many other notables) hung out at the bar at the Dragon Room. Rosalea cozied up to the presidents and male actors, but it's a wonder that women still visited the place. She claimed to have thrown O'Keeffe and others out on numerous occasions for no reason other than that she hated them --- or, more likely, because they grabbed the attention of a passing man.
George told me later that he almost lost Rosalea too, when he approached Evergreen Lake at the bar during a visit in 1985 and arranged to photograph her the following day. He saw a particular look in this beautiful young Indian woman, and although they never met again (out of respect for Rosalea), he used the photographs from that afternoon (below) in dozens of paintings over the years.
Over the years we grew very close to Rosalea. Through her we met and became friends with several amazing artists, including Armand Lara and Doug Magnus, whose works appear in this blog, as well as Scott Wayne Emmerich of Falconhead boots (you might remember that George performed the gris-gris with his hand-made Mardi Gras boots a few weeks ago). It was special for me to witness these creative pow-wows, as Rosalea and 'her men' encouraged each other in the arts. Eventually George and Doug would collaborate on a collection of Blue Dog Jewelry.
Beginning in 1995 we stayed for a week each summer in her apartment above the Pink Adobe, where we awoke to purple bedding and pink walls and five-foot sunflowers, all complementing the view of the Church of San Miguel (1610), the oldest church structure in America, and located directly across the street from the restaurant. If we happened to be in town on a Wednesday, we joined Rosalea and her merry bunch in the apartment for poker. It was then that I learned that I wasn't the only woman in her life. As long as the men fawned on her first and the women understood their place, then they were welcome. Her family, namely her daughter and granddaughter, were exceptions to the understanding, and they enjoyed her sustaining devotion and pride regardless of any unstated rules for the rest of us.
Rosalea's daughter, Priscilla Hoback, is also a remarkable artist. George and I especially enjoy her works in clay, like Adam and Eve, pictured below, which hangs in our courtyard.
Rosalea Murphy died in 2000. She was buried wearing her "R" and "M" earrings, made by Doug Magnus, along with her custom made Scott Wayne boots. George and I still struggle to visit the Pink Adobe, often avoiding it in fact, because the popular restaurant and bar (now run by her grandson and his family) seems empty without Rosalea and her dogs. We pay tribute to her with the four paintings in our collection (including the ones pictured in this blog), as well as a prized painted table and large pots of sunflowers in the summer.
On those rare occasions that we do stop into the Dragon Room and visit with 'Rosalea's men,' I remember my place, hanging back a bit, watching these talented artists as they visit about old times, current projects, and especially the strong woman who loved them and brought them together.
For more on Santa Fe and the artists mentioned here, see the story Land of Enchantment.
Wendy, I "friended" you on Facebook because as a former New Orleanian and Lafayette wannabe, I've loved the Blue Dog since the eighties. However -- and no offense to George -- your blog is Internet artistry unto itself!
Well thank you, Stephanie! You've certainly started my day off right and given me just the right motivation to begin work on the silkscreen blog --- something I've been putting off for weeks, preferring to tell stories and write about the Saints!
What a delight to read your blog and "meet" Rosalea, whom I'd never heard of before. She must have been one special character! I've followed your husband's work since the mid 80's and love it, and have been to the Blue Dog Cafe in Lafayette many times. Keep on writing...very prolific and enjoyable!
I have been browsing the web today and luckily came across your blog. Just posted one of my favortie New Orleans artists on my blog!
Enjoyed reading your Santa Fe story. Love how you respected and yet stood up to Rosalea; many women would have been put off and maybe jealous of this kind of situation. You were clearly the better woman and it worked to your advantage. Have always loved the blue dog, love all things NOLA, it is my birthplace. Thanks for your interesting stories.
Love those paintings... And the BLUE WOLF DOGS...! AND THE ROOSTER...! Really nice work!
Really enjoyed this article. I opened the first Cajun restaurant in NM in `85, the Lone Wolf Cafe. I met George shortly thereafter and introduced quickly him to my best pal, Rosalea Murphy. Have missed seeing George through the years; we had some "heady" times in Santa Fe in the `80s, really the last cultural hurrah in recent Santa Fe history, before the mind numbing onslaught of Califorians, the seeingly endless line of realtors and the multitude of homogenous, Lexus-driving soulless robots.
I need to take issue with you on one thing in your piece: Rosalea dropped what I called the "evil eye" on just about everyone, not just women. Granted, she loved her boys; however, she loved women as well, if they were thick-skinned enough to handle the "eye;" meaning, man or woman, you had to show you were something more than a pretty package to gain her respect. You needed an endearing quality: wit, intelligence, joie de vivre, artistic bent, etc. Survive the "eye," you were in, and might be actually be invited to a seat at Table 10!
Tell George I said, "hey."
This is a great profile of a wonderful character and unique persona, Wendy. Thanks for posting about her. Your courageous first conversation capped by purchasing her painting sounds like you hit on the winning combination to pass the initiation. Good for you!
Thank you, Nancy. Rosalea was one of those rare most wonderful people in a lifetime. George and I miss her terribly --- this summer especially, as we forego our usual Santa Fe visit.
Thank you - I so appreciate each and every character that I've met through your writings. This was one of your absolute best. You have a way of describing each person and place so that they become my old friends as well. I remember George from the way back at the Festival Acadiens et Creole but have a renewed interest in the whole Blue Dog works thanks to meeting you through your travels and descriptions!
Thank you, Mariana! What a lovely message, and the perfect inspiration, as I put together this week a tribute to those wonderful, complicated characters----- our mothers!
We will always cherish our signed copy of Blue Dog Love that we received from you and George during the signing at the gallery in New Orleans...as we do our three Blue Dog's.
We shared our story of God Bless America and the 9.11.11 story tonight with friends while at Pink Adobe. It was emotional. Our thoughts are with you. We miss Rosalea and George and thinking of you tonight. Loup Garou...what goes around comes around!
It's been a pleasure reading your blog. I have such fond memories of the Pink Adobe, and loved meeting Rosalea Murphy through you. The photo of her on the motorcycle is a revelation! I wondered if one of the two men sitting at the bar behind her in the ad was Douglas Magnus.
I look forward to reading more of your musings! Thank you and all the best.
Thank you, Wynsum! Yes, Douglas Magnus sits at the bar with Scott Wayne Emmerich of Falconhead Boots!

More than 80 people, including children, have been killed after a truck slammed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the southern French city of Nice.
The driver ploughed on for 1.2 miles on the Promenade des Anglais at about 23:00 local time on July 14, before being shot dead by police.
Witnesses say the speeding truck swerved and zigzagged in an apparent attempt to hit more people.
Police reportedly found guns and grenades inside the lorry.
France's President Francois Hollande said the attack was of "an undeniable terrorist nature".
PM Manuel Valls has declared three days of national mourning for the victims from July 16.
A state of emergency, in place since November's Paris attacks carried out by ISIS, in which 130 people died, has been extended by three months.
The attack in Nice began shortly after the end of a firework display on the seafront for Bastille Day, which is the country's national holiday.
A white truck, the front of which was riddled with bullet holes, continued to be examined by police in Nice on July 15.
A journalist with the Nice Matin newspaper reported from the scene that there was "a lot of blood".
According to officials, 84 people died in the attack and about 50 people have been injured, 18 of them critically.
Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi has told local media that about 10 children were among those killed.
No group has so far said it was behind the attack; prosecutors said the inquiry would be handled by anti-terror investigators.
According to AFP news agency, the identity papers of a 31-year-old French-Tunisian were found in the truck, citing an unnamed police source.
Local media reports named the man as Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, but his identity has not yet been confirmed.
President Francois Hollande addressed the nation on July 15 saying France had been "badly hit" but was strong, adding "we need to do everything we can to fight against" such attacks.
"All of France is under the threat of Islamic terrorism," he said.
Francois Hollande added that "operational reserves" would be deployed to support the army and security forces across the country, with particular focus on the borders.
Manuel Valls said later that the goal of terrorists was to "instill fear and panic".
"But France is a great country and a great democracy that will not allow itself to be destabilized," he said.
President Barack Obama condemned "in the strongest terms" what he said appeared to be "a horrific terrorist attack in Nice".
Nice's jazz festival has been cancelled and the southern city of Marseille has announced it is canceling a fireworks show planned to take place on Friday evening.

A Russian pop star who reportedly helped arrange a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower has cancelled his U.S. tour.

"He could come and do the concert but we don't want him to be subpoenaed or held under a material witness warrant or anything else," Scott Balber, Agalarov's lawyer, told the outlet.

A Big New Course in Little Rhody
In years past, on my way to Newport and points east, I used to drive by Meadow Brook, a public course in the tiny town of Richmond, R.I. Slowing down to 30 m.p.h. to observe the scraggly layout, I wondered to myself, "Why on earth are golfers wasting their time on this goat ranch?" It was like that back then. No longer.
Reopened in April, 2010 after four years of reconstruction, the new Meadow Brook is the result of Yankee ingenuity and a new design partnership that carries the torch for the late Robert Trent Jones.
Anchored by an old roadside farmhouse soon to be replaced by a new golf clubhouse, Meadow Brook is owned and managed by the Hendrick family, which owns two other public tracks in Rhode Island. The father-and-son team of Pete and Jay Hendrick knows every nook and cranny of their courses. Working closely with their architects—more on them in a moment—the Hendricks served as their own contractors, operating the machinery to clear trees, create contours and plant grass. They essentially built the course themselves.
The pondside par 3 10th stretches 202 yards
A cow pasture no more, Meadow Brook, at 7,468 yards from the black tees (par 72), is the longest and probably the toughest course in Rhode Island. At 6,532 yards from the green tees, Meadow Brook presents a sturdy test for the better-than-average golfer. Women do fine from the reds at 5,308 yards. Players throughout the region, who generally are underserved by high-quality daily-fee golf, have the Hendricks and the handiwork of Rulewich & Fleury Golf Design to thank.
A word about Roger Rulewich, the firm's guiding principal. A mild-mannered, pipe-smoking gentleman known to many in the business as "Roger Trent Rulewich," he was for 34 years the man behind the scenes for the ebullient Jones, a master salesman and promoter who left much of the field work to Rulewich and his staff. A keeper of the flame, Rulewich embodies Jones's "hard par, easy bogey" credo and strives to recreate his grand, heroic style with the use of runway-style tees, giant cloverleaf bunkers and water hazards often large enough to float a destroyer. As evidenced by the massive courses on Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, all of them crafted by Rulewich, this Jones disciple favors BIG golf.
It's a wonder Rulewich, now 73, ended up in the golf design racket at all. After receiving a degree in civil engineering from Yale University in 1958, he contacted the school's placement office in 1961 in hopes of landing a job with a regional engineering firm. When he was told there was an opening with a "building" architect, Rulewich assumed he would be involved in planning and developing real estate sites in the New York metropolitan area—precisely what he had been trained for.
Little did he know the "building" architect was Robert Trent Jones, and that what he would be planning and developing were not edifices but golf courses.
"I knew nothing about building golf courses, but I figured I would give it a try," Rulewich remembers. "I basically learned by osmosis. Mr. Jones was traveling all the time and I was thrown into situations. It was the best thing. Somehow I became a golf course architect."
And a busy one at that. Despite the fact that he received little national attention, Rulewich, the man in the field for the globetrotting Jones, was among the world's most active course architects for over three decades. While he credits Jones with "just about everything I know," Rulewich became a student of golf design, picking up ideas from the likes of Donald Ross, C.B. Macdonald and Alister Mackenzie. In the end, he believes every good designer should have his own vision. For Roger, that vision is more along the lines of the Empire State Building, not a Park Avenue townhouse.
Earlier this year, Rulewich joined forces with his long-time associate and protégé, David Fleury. Their partnership is an outgrowth of the Rulewich Design Group, which has been based in Bernardston, Mass. since 1996. After a stint with Jack Nicklaus, Fleury joined Rulewich's firm 11 years ago. In addition to his background in business and agronomy, Fleury has worked as a shaper, one of the most under-appreciated professions in golf course design.
Meadow Brook represents the first result of their collaborative efforts. Spread across 225 rolling wooded acres, the course is distinctive, if diametrically opposed in style to every other layout in Little Rhody.
Over the centuries, a sand belt in south-central Rhode Island has propagated the growth of conifers, which combined with mature oaks and other hardwoods create a pleasing frame for the holes. Except for landing strip tees, all the other 'Trent Rulewich' trademarks are here, from enormous sculpted bunkers to huge rolling greens that average nearly 10,000 square feet. Meadow Brook resembles a big-shouldered course that Jones, with a decent budget, might have created in the temperate zone in his heyday.
Classic Trent Jones bunkers frame the approach at No. 12
Ironically, the Ocean State is known mainly for its small vintage courses, many of them laid out by Donald Ross, who maintained a summer home in Little Compton, R.I. A case in point is Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford, the state's top-rated track. "A fine course on 100 acres of land," Ross said of his 1914 design. "No congestion, fine variety and excellent golf." At full stretch, the course measures 6,688 yards (par 69). There's only one par five. Most players have all they can handle from the white tees at 6,399 yards.
While I prefer the old charmers Ross built for his elite clientele—except for Triggs Memorial in Providence and Winnapaug in Westerly, all of his Rhode Island courses are private—there's a nice egalitarian atmosphere at Meadow Brook. The parking lot is sandy gravel. The weekday green fee for walkers is $60. The Gatsby crowd is noticeably absent.
The presentation of challenges at Meadow Brook is thoroughly modern. You're invited to tee it high and let it fly with your high-tech driver. The fairways are generous, but the rough consists of an "environmental mix" that's thick and sticky. There's also water in play at seven holes, but the ponds are scaled to the size of New England, not Florida. The layout's eponymous stream also winds through the course.
The bentgrass greens, most of them of the pedestal variety favored by Jones, are the size of skating rinks. They are quite firm and very fast. And undulating. Perhaps Rulewich & Fleury, like other designers, have concluded that putting surfaces are their last line of defense given current advances in ball and club technology.
With its sandy soil, mixed forest and gentle elevation changes, Rulewich believes the site for the course is one that "would have been chosen in the early days of golf course design. To have as its proprietors a family so involved in every aspect of its creation and operation is very special. I am thrilled to have been a part of it." For a man who expected to erect buildings for a living and yet who learned to plan and strategize a golf course with the best of them, Meadow Brook is a shining example of a BIG layout in the classic Trent Jones style. www.MeadowBrookGolfRI.com.

South Korea completes first solar PV plant
Seoul has opened a US$12.2 million solar PV plant capable of powering 1,850 households
South Korea's latest energy plan is delayed, but officials are confident its renewables sector will continue to expand (Pic: Adam Inglis)
Seoul has constructed its first solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant amid concerns of delays to the government's fourth master plan for developing renewable energy.
The 5MW installation, the first phase of a 100MW project to be completed by 2014, started operation at Amsa Arisu Water Purification Centre last Tuesday. It is expected to generate enough electricity for 1,850 households.
Constructed as part of a memorandum of understanding between Seoul City government, chemicals and utility firm OCI and environmental civic group Energy & Peace, the plant is expected to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2,700 tons, which is equal to 1.6 million litres of gas or planting 600,000 nut pine trees.
OCI and Energy & Peace invested a total of 13.7 billion won (US$12.2 million). They will manage and operate the plant for 20 years while paying a rental fee of 125 million won annually for the duration. The government will use 10% of the profits from the plant to support energy-poor citizens.
On climate change South Korea is widely regarded as being one of the first countries to embrace the "green growth" agenda.
Following the global financial crisis in 2008, South Korea's stimulus package ser aside 69% of the spending on "green" projects (such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grids).
Seoul's fourth energy 'masterplan' is expected to examine renewable technology and infrastructure. A roadmap was expected to be in place by May, but progress appears to have slowed.
A government official told Energy Korea this week that: "The government needs to examine various factors, such as overall demand policy and conflicts of interest as well as renewable energies, and yet renewable energies are expected to be expanded without difficulty."
The country's legislation already stipulates that 2% of each utility company's supply is required to come from renewable resources, according to Finlay Colville, vice president of market research company Solarbuzz.
"Several hundred megawatts of solar lighting stations are to be installed by 2014, including public buildings, schools, houses and commercial buildings," Colville told RTCC.

MLA Magic Down in the Woods
Gottwood electronic and music festival — an intimate boutique event, set in an idyllic Welsh forest on the isle of Anglesey — has been running since 2010. It prides itself on presenting a DJ line up of "rising stars and established veterans."
Involved with promoters Future Noise Ltd from the beginning has been Creation Live's Tom Whittle, who in addition to working with Martin Audio's Cheshire-based partners (and event production company) VME is also the Festival's Operations Manager.
He recalls that the potential of the site had been clear from his first visit back in September 2009. But it was only this year that the four-day festival could banish its noise pollution issues by adopting the magic control technology of Martin Audio's MLA Compact sound system. This not only contained the off-site perimeter sound, but at the same time boosted the SPL at the main FOH position to a level that serious dance music aficionados would expect.
The site is classed as an area of outstanding natural beauty and the stunning location is key to this unique festival's success. But as Future Noise's Tom Elkington emphasises, it comes with issues. "The ambient sound levels are exceptionally low and for the surrounding houses, off-site sound has been a continuous battle." The production team felt the volume restrictions imposed on them by the local authority were unacceptable.
Whittle and VME's general manager, Ben Hyman, who also manages the site sound, proposed steering the sound intelligently by deploying VME's Martin Audio's MLA Compact. "We convinced the promoters that it would solve a large problem."
With the attendance capped to 5,000, all outdoor stages used MLA Compact — four per side, with two MLX subs — in a groundstack configuration. "While the majority of our MLA deployments are typically to ensure even coverage across large areas for audiences of 10,000-plus, Gottwood presented new challenges to us as we needed to ensure that leakage was kept to a minimum. It was also potentially challenging to see how multiple stages using MLA would interact in this environment — it's certainly not a situation we're all used to, with main and delay hangs," said Hyman.
In previous years, to stay within licence they needed to run the systems at 95dB(A) during the day but drop them close to 90-92dB(A) at certain times in the evening depending on the weather. "Anglesey is one of the quietest places in the UK, with a night-time ambient background level of 32dB(A), so having six outdoor stages running until 4am playing electronic music, and residents within 800m from site gave us quite a challenge," he said. "Historically, changes in pressure suddenly meant that we could hear vocal clearly from site, but no bass or top end, then an hour later it would just be bass that we could hear. It was constantly changing and we had to keep adapting levels to meet the licensing regulations."
Martin Audio MLA Advocate, Simon Honywill, was brought in to advise. "It was the wish of the organisers that these stages should be as loud as possible while the local environmental health officers wanted it to be all but inaudible at the nearest houses, some seven or eight hundred metres away," he confirms.
"It was my job to make this happen. I needed to find a way of maintaining the integrity of the system's acoustic performance, contain the sound to avoid smothering other stages and most importantly not upset the neighbours."
Honywill believes the LF containment was down to "a combination of the directivity of the awesome MLX subs, helped in no small way by the efficacy of hay bales as low frequency absorbers." As a result, he says, "the systems sounded fantastic. There was no doubt that from stage to stage, the amount of spill was more than acceptable, particularly at the lake, where the system fired directly across the water at the main chill-out zone on the lawn in front of the house.
"With all systems on the entire site playing to [the prescribed] level, we measured around 44-45dB(A) offsite — a perfect result!"
Ben Hyman added, "Having worked with the MLA system for two years, I was confident that we could re-invent the audio systems across site, and utilise the controllability that MLA's DISPLAY 2 software gives us to achieve even higher onsite levels, while at the same time maintaining the lowest off site levels.
"We are indebted to Simon Honywill for his help. We also spoke extensively to local residents, and told them what MLA could potentially achieve. To top it all off, I received a phone call from one of the local residents on the Sunday morning, who had formally complained every year. He started his telephone call, 'I'm the first person to complain, but I'm also the first person to compliment when you've done what you promised. We couldn't hear Gottwood this year, and thanks to you and your team for making it happen'. This could not have been a better response, especially since he is one of the closest residents to site."
Said promoter Tom Elkington, "Because Gottwood is so different from other festivals — with no main stage, no sponsors and music focused on the niche end of electronic music — we needed to preserve the event's integrity. For five years we have achieved great results with VME with careful placement of stages, hay bale baffling and offsite weather monitoring. But we were really excited about trying out MLA this year and thankfully it proved to be the golden ticket we have been working towards."
In summary, Simon Honywill stated, "I left the festival site being once again surprised by the abilities of MLA systems to solve problems where others create them, a truly valuable asset for any company working events where noise restrictions can be a problem. I felt entirely buoyed by the whole experience."

Launched in 2014 after a successful pilot program 'The Northern Ontario Initiative', the now multi-award winning Indigenous Reporters Program seeks to increase the quality and quantity of Indigenous stories and voices in media in Canada.
To achieve this the program
Works directly in and with Indigenous communities, engaging interested community members on journalism and media literacy capacity building programming.
Creates pathways of opportunities for Indigenous peoples to pursue careers in journalism through internship, mentorship and networking opportunities ultimately strengthening Indigenous voices in Canadian media.
Engages and trains non-Indigenous journalists and journalism students on best practices for reporting on Indigenous stories to ensure stories are reported on with more accuracy, frequency, and offer better informed perspectives.
With better coverage, people across Canada can have a better understanding of Indigenous stories and the media can better reflect the diverse voices in the country.
JHR has also published a series of reports through the program. Including, Buried Voices and Buried Voices: Changing Tones which examined the frequency of Indigenous coverage in Ontario media from 2010 to 2013 and 2013 to 2016, respectfully. And, Emerging Voices, a dual examination into access to post-secondary journalism education for Indigenous youth in Ontario, and what post-secondary journalism programs in the province are doing to implement TRC Call to Action #86. Read the studies in the publications page, here.
Indigenous Reporters Network
Indigenous journalists and journalism students in Canada are invited to join the Indigenous Reporters Network, a JHR initiative in partnership with the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), and supported by RBC Future Launch.

Good accountants are always hard to find and moreover accounts job is most important in any organization. A company or a business organization has an option to outsource accountants or hire accountants on contractual basis since it is tough to manage everything on own and get a good accountant for the business organization. outsourced accounting helps in acquiring the best accountants across the globe and moreover outsourcing companies also take care of all the accounting activities and banking fundamentals which are required on day to day basis. Contractor accountants London provide highly experienced and professional accountants on contract basis and they are paid a fixed remuneration by the firm seeking outsourcing services.
The outsourcing companies charge a fixed fee on every manpower they outsource and take in-charge of all the work and activities with utmost importance and due care. Outsourced accounting is generally heeded by the large scale organization and contractor accountants London provide efficient and well equipped accountants to look after the accounting activities of the business firm. Any business firm or business organization is incomplete without accounts department and the mainstream of accountants is to look after the inflow cash activities of the company. The outsourcing companies enable timely delivery of payments and also receiving timely payments, fixing meetings with the HRDs of different companies and managers for discussion on important matters, assisting in taking important accounting and management related decisions.
The precisive, pervasive and prospective services of outsourcing are given to organizations that seek such services. It is not possible for any business organization to alone take care of all the matters relating to the business organization and management and hence outsourced accounting and contractor accountants London are required for the assistance in accounting and management relating matters. The outsourcing companies take care of all the accounting related matters of the company and enable them to reduce their burden and focus on other important matters.


Govt in talks for special session on Gst. Racing against time on the GST Bill, the government on Tuesday indicated plans for reconvening the monsoon session of Parliament and began consultations with political parties seeking their cooperation in passing key reform measures in the national interest.
New Delhi: Racing against time on the GST Bill, the government on Tuesday indicated plans for reconvening the monsoon session of Parliament and began consultations with political parties seeking their cooperation in passing key reform measures in the national interest.
Minister for Parliamentary affairs M Venkaiah Naidu met leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge and said the government was looking forward to passing the GST bill at the earliest" and has an open mind on amendments to this key reform measure, which it plans to roll out from April next year.
Apart from the Goods and Service Tax (GST) Bill, the government is also keen to pass the Land Acquisition Bill, 2015 and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill. On the vexed land bill, Naidu dropped broad indications that the government may go in for a fourth-time promulgation of the ordinance to maintain its "continuity" as there is no possibility of passage of the bill to replace it before August 31 when the executive measure expires.
Though the dates are yet to be finalized, the monsoon session is expected to be reconvened some time in September, sources said. Naidu, who maintained that he has already consulted leaders of a number of parties, also expressed willingness to meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi, if it was required to ensure a smooth running of Parliament.
Keen to ensure the passage of the GST bill, the government had kept open the option of reconvening the session with the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs then deciding not to recommend immediate prorogation of the Houses after they were adjourned sine die on August 13.
"After discussions, the government shall, if required call the second part of monsoon session to pass key legislations. I appeal to all political parties to keep in mind the national interest. Parliament should function. There is no substitute to healthy debate in democracy.
"The bills like GST, real estate regulation bill and land bill are very important. The delay in passage of the GST bill will hamper the aspirations of people of India and in particular the dreams of the youth, who are thirsty for jobs," Naidu said at a press conference here.

Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts: A Healing Guide to the Secret Fears of New Mothers (Hardcover)
By Karen Kleiman, Molly McIntyre (Illustrator)
Ships to Our Store in 1-5 Days
Over 90 percent of new mothers will have scary, intrusive thoughts about their baby and themselves. What if I drop him? What if I snap and hurt my baby? Mothering is so hard—I don't know if I really want to do this anymore. Gosh, I'm so terrible for thinking that! Yet for too many mothers, those thoughts remain secret, hidden away in a place of shame that can quickly grow into anxiety, postpartum depression, and even self-harm. But here's the good news: you CAN feel better!
Author Karen Kleiman—coauthor of the seminal book This Isn't What I Expected and founder of the acclaimed Postpartum Stress Center—comes to the aid of new mothers everywhere with a groundbreaking new source of hope, compassion, and expert help. Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts is packed with world-class guidance, simple exercises, and nearly 50 stigma-busting cartoons from the viral #speakthesecret campaign that help new moms validate their feelings, share their fears, and start feeling better. Lighthearted yet serious, warm yet not sugary, and perfectly portioned for busy moms with full plates, Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts is the go-to resource for moms, partners, and families everywhere who need help with this difficult period.
Karen Kleiman is a well-known international maternal mental-health expert with over thirty-five years of experience as a psychotherapist, teacher, and writer. As an advocate and author of several groundbreaking books on postpartum depression and anxiety, her pioneering work has influenced personal and professional populations within the perinatal mental health community for decades. In 1988, Karen founded The Postpartum Stress Center, a treatment and training facility for prenatal and postpartum depression/anxiety disorders where she treats individuals and couples.
Molly McIntyre is an artist, illustrator, and animator living in Brooklyn, New York, with her family. Her work has been featured in the upcoming Netflix series Worn Stories, the book Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts (Karen Kleiman, Familius), Bitch magazine, Everyday Feminism, Scary Mommy, and Psychology Today, and shown in exhibitions throughout the US and in Japan.

"This brilliant little book is chock-full of truths about the common realities of new motherhood. Once again, Kleiman says what we are all thinking—and too scared to say out loud. With comic relief, she puts it all out there!"- Catherine Birndorf, MD co-founder of The Motherhood Center of New York
"Learning about important subjects doesn't always have to come in a textbook! Karen Kleiman has done it again. A powerful and relevant book to inform, to enlighten, and to treasure. This book should be read by every new mother, everyone who loves her, and every single healthcare provider."
- Diana Barnes, PsyD, editor of Women's Reproductive Mental Health Across the Lifespan
"With humor and honesty, this illustrated self-help guide for new mothers offers an alternative to the earnestness of more traditional books on the subject. Eschewing the typical advice and information about baby care, the comics and information are entirely devoted to the experiences of women who have recently given birth. Difficult topics such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder get frank discussion, and the tone is reassuring without diminishing the potential seriousness of these issues. The illustrations are sunny and relatable, depicting women of diverse ethnicities and body types. The format is especially effective in conveying, through speech and thought balloons, the differences between what new mothers might say and what they are really feeling... New mothers will find this work a reassuring companion in a challenging time. (Mar.)"
- Publishers Weekly
"Illustrated and inspirational, Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts takes a conversational yet serious graphic novel approach to helping mothers cope with their darkest mothering moments. Karen Kleiman, co-author of This Isn't What I Expected, writes with the most empathetic of pens, and the winning illustrations of Molly McIntyre convey a fantastic amount of data and emotion in this flawless project."
- Matt Sutherland, Foreword Reviews
"...a brilliant guide for new moms."

Gano is competing with rookie Harrison Butker, the former Georgia Tech kicker whom the Panthers drafted in the seventh round after Gano missed eight field goals in 2016.
Gano's biggest miss was a 50-yarder that would have won the Super Bowl rematch at Denver in Week 1. He ended the season with a 1-for-4 performance at Tampa Bay, then had foot surgery in January.
Gano was born with an extra bone in the back of both ankles, a rare condition that athletes frequently on their toes, such as kickers, ballet dancers and skaters.
Gano's preseason began eerily similar to his Week 1 experience vs. the Broncos: He missed a 50-yarder against Houston when he banged the ball off the left upright.
Butker made a 51-yarder against the Texans, and neither player has missed a kick in the two preseason games since.
The Panthers would create about $3.2 million in cap space by cutting Gano, while Butker is set to make $465,000 this year.
Gano, 30, said he's not concerned with Rivera's comments this week about the competition being even headed into Thursday's exhibition finale against Pittsburgh.

Abytopia enjoys showing competitive aby's and kittens in CFA shows. It is fun to see what other aby breeders are breeding and showing, what the judges like about an aby one is showing, and how the kitten or adult acts when being handled by strangers. It is a bit like a proud parent watching a child star in a school play or a dance recital or compete in a sports event. It is also a good time to spend quality time with a particular cat and bond with them over the shared experience. Especially if they enjoy the show!
Thor was born to Abytopia's Gimme Some Sugar and Abytopia's A Jamais..
Thor did particularly well at the two day CFA show in Longview, WA. held on April 14 -15. Thor finaled in 12/12 rings...there were no other aby kittens in this show, so he was competing against kittens of many other breeds. He earned 4 Best Kitten Awards, 2 Second Best Kitten Awards, a 4th, two 5th's, an 8th and two 9th's. The judges commented on his deep color, clarity, earset, black ticking, and beautifully almond-shaped eyes. One judge, a former aby breeder, said that she got "goosebumps" when she looked at him! Thor is a very gentle soul, and seemed to enjoy being at the show, spending his time at the front of the judging cages, instead of at the back as many of my aby's who were not so fond of showing have done in the past! Go, Thor!

Garamendi Is Now the Clear Frontrunner

People / Politics
Democratic Lieutenant Governor John Garamendi is now the clear frontrunner in the race to take over for former East Bay Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher after receiving the most votes in yesterday's special election. Garamendi won 26.2 percent of the vote and will face Republican David Harmer, who came in second with 20.6 percent, in a November runoff, because neither candidate garnered a majority of the votes. Garamendi, however, is now the odds on favorite because the 10th Congressional District leans heavily Democratic. State Senator Mark DeSaulnier, the other major Democratic candidate in the race, finished third with 17.6 percent.
The race between Garamendi and DeSaulnier had been expected to be tighter, but Garamendi won in all four counties represented in the district, including Contra Costa County, where DeSaulnier had been expected to do well. Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan finished third among the Democratic candidates with 12 percent of the vote, followed by Iraq War veteran Anthony Woods, who left the military after coming out as a gay man. Tauscher gave up her seat to take a top position in the State Department.

In some cases a non-custodial parent will be limited to daytime parenting time only and will not be given overnight parenting time with a child. This is the exception and not the rule.
There are a couple of fairly common situations where it is appropriate to deny a non-custodial parent overnight parenting time. First is when a child is very young and the non-custodial parent may not be able to care suitably for the child overnight. Dealing with a crying infant or toddler in the middle of the night is beyond the skill set of some very young parents or some adults who are new parents who have had no experience with newborns or infants. These are very limited situations. Time and experience generally will remedy these situations quite quickly. Many times grandparents are available as a resource to help new and inexperienced parents make the transition into overnight periods of parenting time.
The other situation where it is appropriate to deny a non-custodial parent overnight parenting time is when that parent does not have appropriate sleeping accommodations for the child. This is more an issue with older children, who need a measure of privacy and their own bedroom. This becomes an issue when children start to reach puberty. Younger children can share a room with a parent. They also can use the parent's bed and the parent can bunk on the couch for the night. This works for alternating weekends.
These sleeping accommodation issues obviously are situational and can be addressed in such a manner as to make overnight visitation appropriate. Sometimes they are very short lived as recently separated parents find suitable new housing with appropriate bedrooms and sleeping accommodations for their children.
These exceptions aside, a typical parenting schedule, as a matter of course, probably should and will include some overnight parenting time for the non-custodial parent.


Judge Ney received his undergraduate degree from the Philadelphia Museum College of Art and received his law degree from the University of Denver. He was admitted to the Colorado Bar in 1966. Prior to his admission to the bar, Ney worked for Philco Corporation and the Martin Company in the space program. He also served in the U.S. Army. Ney was in private practice from this admission to the Bar until his appointment to the Court of Appeals in 1988.
Ney was praised by surveyed attorneys for his fairness. The attorneys and trial court judges were impressed with Ney's ability to decide issues and to promptly render opinions in cases. Ney feels lawyers need to give back to the community and his service to the Court of Appeals is part of his public service.


I recently attended a conference on the topic of the U.S. Government's (USG) approach to Conflict Prevention (CP). The term of art used was "Whole of Government," referring to U.S. interagency efforts at stopping conflict (and in truth, in working together during conflict/war). The conference explored the importance of Conflict Prevention, offered a working definition of conflict, introduced a framework for assessing CP environments and efforts, and ended with a panel discussion that covered the day's events.
Now a conference like this is important. It brings together people who should be working together (but most often are not). The topic is timely too and -with luck- all interested parties can start a dialogue that can continue well after the gathering concludes.
The problem is that I have been to a metric ton of these in the past few years, to the point that I could probably write the after action review (or the conference summary) even before the conference even begins.
This conference began with a presentation by former senior leaders from both the Department of Defense and the Department of State. Both discussed Whole of Government efforts but from decidedly different angles. The DoD person stated that the USG is in crisis because interagency (IA) efforts are not integrated (or taking place) and that there is no relief in sight for the DoD, an entity that is engaged in over 50 non-DoD Lines of Operation (LOOs) in Iraq (such as energy fusion cells and literacy issues). But he also said that no one else could do it right now or in the foreseeable future. The Department of State (DoS) does not have the money, capacity or planning capability to take over responsibilities (even though this former officer believes that the military should not be doing all of these tasks).
The Department of State person gave a short history of the Whole of Government effort with regards to Iraq and concluded that the interagency is not broken, it's just not used. He stated that to strengthen the IA process, the USG needed to bring senior officers back from their posts as Combatant Commanders and include them in the DC dialogue. He said that it is time to move the programmatic functions of our policy into USAID, rebuild USAID, and bring an ethos and capacity to State to enable them to surge during contingencies.
DoD needs to expand its aperture to see the conflict as a whole – as State does.
The Project on National Security Reform (PNSR) has done much to forward the way decision makers see the US interagency; and yet out it seems that the message is not getting out to the fringes, or perhaps the solutions are still being worked out or both.
Regardless, more work needs to be done in DC, the United States writ large, and conflict environments overseas. I hunger for the day when I can go to a conference and no longer predict what I am going to learn that day.

Thiel College's Classical Music Series Hosts a Top Performer
Alexander Gavrylyuk, an Australian pianist, is one of the biggest stars the series has hosted.
Content provided by Thiel College,
For nearly two decades, Thiel College's Con Spirito Chamber Music Concert Series has been a star in the classical music world, bringing some of the genre's top performers to western Pennsylvania. This November, the series will feature one of its biggest stars — Ukrainian-born Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk.
Gavrylyuk, an internationally renowned pianist and poetic musician, performs a free concert open to the public at 7 p.m. on November 27 at Thiel College's David Johnson Memorial Chapel.
"Alexander Gavrylyuk is, easily, the most compelling pianist of his generation," said acclaimed Australian concert pianist Roger Woodward.
Gavrylyuk is no stranger to the region. He first performed at the Chautauqua Institution in 2006 and has performed there annually every year since. In 2016, he was named the artistic advisor at its School of Music Piano Program. Gavrylyuk is in demand by orchestras and conductors for his noble and compelling interpretations and has appeared with symphonies and orchestras in New York, Los Angeles, Israel, Warsaw, Moscow and Rotterdam.
The series has hosted free concerts that are open to the public on the Thiel campus in Greenville, about 80 miles north of Pittsburgh, since 2007. This is the second event of the 2018-2019 concert series. The Dorian Wind Quintet will perform the final event of the 2018-2019 series on March 29, 2019. The first concert of the year was the Fischoff Award Winning Donald Sinta Quartet in September.
In 2007, the tradition of musical excellence started when LaVonne H'16 and the late Glen R. Johnson H'88, in honor of their late daughter, created the series to bring top musical talent to Thiel College and the region. Con Spirito is just one of the offerings at Thiel that connects the college to the regional arts community. The Weyers-Sampson Art Gallery hosts about four exhibits annually. The exhibits and gallery talks include the works of regional and national artists as well as pieces from Thiel College's private collection.
Upcoming events at Thiel College include:
Greenville Symphony Orchestra — 7:30 p.m., William A. Passavant Center
Thiel College Christmas Festival — 4 p.m., Dec. 2, William A. Passavant Center
The Dorian Wind Quintet performs for the Con Spirito Concert Series — 7 p.m., March 21, David Johnson Memorial Chapel

Grand Canyon University has added three more full-time psychology faculty as it continues to refine a curriculum that impacts nearly 2,100 psych students in undergraduate and graduate programs.
Among the curriculum changes are a new emphasis in human cognition and neurosciences in psych courses, which gives students a stronger understanding of how brain function impacts behavior, and an alignment of psychology coursework with standards of the American Psychological Association.
GCU's psychology courses are offered through the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, which acting dean Dr. Sherman Elliott said will offer more complex psych degrees that better prepare students for the workforce. The University offers a bachelor of science degree in psychology, in addition to master's degrees with emphases in general psych and industrial and organizational psych. Elliott said GCU is considering adding psychology undergraduate degree emphases in niche areas like sports and performance psychology, geriatric psychology, health psychology, ministry, children and family and others.
Additionally, Elliott said the University is exploring the possibility of a master's in human factor psychology, which would address human interaction with technology and how behaviors overlap with devices, "from cell phones to tanks," that people use every day.
Through 2022, jobs in industrial and organizational psychology are expected to grow by 53 percent — more than any other industry, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That particular area of psychology trains behavioral specialists to address human resource needs, such as understanding the best way to hire, train and retain employees. Other industrial-organizational psychologists apply behavioral models to address needs in administration, sales or marketing.
By the fall, Elliott said undergraduate psych students will have a program structure that emphasizes a capstone research project and encourages them to find internships that will either direct them into a graduate program, or help them obtain entry-level jobs as research assistants, foster-care caseworkers, probation officers and other positions that require basic psychology assessments.
Dr. Laura Terry, GCU's lead psychology faculty member, said creating an undergraduate emphasis in industrial and organizational psych could create a more direct bridge for students into the master's degree program in that field.
Terry and fellow full-time psychology faculty Dr. Jennifer Jones and Dr. Larry Barron have been joined by psych professors Dr. Tina Ayers, Dr. Laura Chesniak-Phipps and Dr. Elizabeth Valenti to help organize the program's evolution. The three new faculty members were hired this summer, and are located in the psychology department in Building 16, home of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
"We have a nice variety of people coming in to inform those different areas," said Terry, a former high school counselor who's taught at GCU since 2010.
Psychology is a field that traditionally has left many college graduates with bachelor's degrees in general psych faced with limited entry-level positions. Many psychology students must obtain graduates degrees to become licensed to help patients. Still, Terry said she envisions students with GCU psychology bachelor's degrees to be more prepared to go right to work, too.
"I also see many going into entry-level positions, gaining that experience, too, while they're earning a higher degree," Terry said.
The new psychology faculty members bring unique work experience and teaching backgrounds to their roles at GCU.
Valenti has taught psychology or criminal justice at both the bachelor's and master's levels at five universities, and she was a probation officer in Maricopa County for nine years. Specializing in education and addictions, her doctoral dissertation published last year investigated how compressed and traditional college coursework affected student literacy and academic success.
Ayers, who joined GCU as an adjunct professor in December, was a staff psychotherapist at Arizona State University for two years before working primarily as a community college instructor in the Valley.
This semester, Ayers is teaching both undergraduate and graduate students, and some undergrad sociology courses based on her background in social work. She said the possibilities for GCU's psychology department are limitless since contemporary psychology now provides more job opportunities for undergraduates with social work programs, the courts and corporate health and wellness programs, among other industries.
"I love abnormal psych, but also culture and society, and learning how all those pieces fit together," said Ayers, who started as a social worker but branched off into clinical psychology and therapy. She earned a doctorate in psychology in 2008 and has master's degrees in social work and clinical psychology.
Chesniak-Phipps is teaching five sections of an introductory psychology course this semester after years of teaching primarily at community colleges in Illinois. Chesniak-Phipps said she has developed a specialty in community psychology and adolescent behavior. Her doctoral dissertation examined factors that lead to teen sexual behavior.
She is thrilled that the University emphasizes teacher interaction with students in the classroom.
"The exciting thing is that because it's a (prerequisite) course, every student who comes through GCU has to take it. It's an opportunity to show them what psychology is about as a field," Chesniak-Phipps said.

Transcend DrivePro 130 Dash Cam Unboxing
By Martin Patiño - Mar 1, 2018, 2:06pm PHT
Dash cameras are becoming pretty standard these days as a way for people to somehow protect themselves further in the event of an accident as it gives them solid evidence on how the accident occurred. Because of the rising popularity of dash cameras, brands like Transcend have begun releasing their own dash cameras during the past few years. The DrivePro 130 is one of Transcend's mid-range dash cameras and we unbox the DrivePro 130 for you so you know exactly what you'll be getting when you get this dash camera.
First off, the packaging of the DrivePro 130 is fairly simple and looks very much like the packaging of the company's other DrivePro models. The front of the cardboard box shows what the dashcam itself looks like as well as a few of the device's features. The front of the box also notes that the DrivePro 130, much like the company's other dash cams, comes with a free 16GB microSD card.
The rest of the box, such as the rear and the sides, shows some of the other features and inclusions of the DrivePro 130 as well as its specifications, system requirements, and other details.
Inside the outer cardboard box is a plain white box which holds the camera and its inclusions. The box only features the Transcend branding and slogan as well as a small arrow to indicate where to open the box. Flipping it open reveals the DrivePro 130 dash cam itself, the included Transcend microSD card, and another plain white box, also with Transcend's branding and slogan, which holds the rest of the dash cam's inclusions.
Looking at the camera itself, the front features the lens, the microphone, an etched Trasncend logo, and the Wi-Fi icon to signify that the DrivePro 130 is Wi-Fi capable. As for the rear of the camera, it features the device's display, an LED notification light, and four control buttons. As for its sides, one holds the microSD card slot and the emergency record button while the other holds the microUSB port. The top of the device is where the slot for the mount is placed.
As previously mentioned, the DrivePro 130 comes with a 16GB Transcend High Endurance Class 10 Micro SDHC card, which is quite suitable for the DrivePro 130, and the smaller plain white box contains the charging adapter of the dash cam that you connect to the car's cigarette lighter port as well as the manual, the suction mount, warranty information, and a product guide.
Here's a sample video of the DrivePro 130 courtesy of Transcend to give you an idea of how well this dash cam takes videos:
The Transcend DrivePro 130 is available from several online and offline retailers for an SRP of Php5,800.00, which is a fairly affordable price for a good quality dash cam, especially considering that it already comes with a microSD card.

If this previous paragraph sounds anything like you, consider this post a warning.
TL;DR version: DON'T! Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
If you want a media player, just buy a commercial product like a Roku 3 or Apple TV. By the time you've invested enough time, money, and energy in just getting what the Pi needs to run (case, 5V/1A+ PS, USB cable, HDMI cable, powered USB hub, SD card, mouse, keyboard, wifi dongle, etc), you will have spent MORE on an inferior product!
But wait a minute, this was supposed to be a learning exercise for you, right? Didn't you at least learn something about the hardware or Linux? Well maybe, I did learn how to get my TV tuner working on my laptop, in an attempt to get it working on the Pi. So there's that. But the time I wasted and frustration I endured was absolutely not worth learning that bit.
