Are you dating someone special and think you're ready to take your relationship to the next level? If you're looking for advice on moving from just dating to exclusive, you've come to the right place. These tips will help you shift your relationship status.
You've fallen for someone. Now you're anxious to make your relationship exclusive. It's great that you're feeling positive about your connection, but have you taken the time to gauge whether you're really ready to take the next step? Ask yourself the following questions.
Do I know what I want in life, personally and professionally?
Am I emotionally stable and available?
Do I have good communication skills? If not, am I willing to build them?
Am I ready to make my relationship a priority?
If you answered no to any of these questions, you may need to take a step back and figure out what you need to do in order to feel ready. However, if you answered yes to all of these questions, you pass the readiness test!
You are looking for someone who wants a long-term relationship, perhaps marriage. Putting off this conversation can lead to heartache in the long run. Ask the other person if he or she is looking for a serious relationship so that you know whether there's potential from the get-go. If your intentions don't match up, this may not be the right person for you. If they do, move on to number two.
You think there is potential for something to develop between the two of you. This is important because some individuals may have the desire to be in a long-term relationship, but stay with someone they don't feel connected to until the right one comes along.
Speaking your mind in this way will give your love interest the opportunity to see where you stand and to reflect on his or her own expectations and feelings about the relationship so far.
Sometimes the desire to be in a relationship can cloud the fact that you barely know someone and should probably give it time before you rush into a commitment. Every connection is different, but if you've known this person for less than two or three weeks, there's a good chance you need to slow down.
You start to look forward to talking and spending time together.
You feel excited or turned on when he or she is around.
You think of him or her throughout the day.
You become emotionally invested in his or her happiness and success.
People who display negative behaviors at the beginning of a relationship are unlikely to change. If this is the case, it's best to cut it off now instead of moving forward. If the positives reign, however, it's time to take the next step.
Be physically affectionate as well. Placing a hand on the forearm or leaning in close are great ways to show that you're interested and comfortable. Just know that some people are more receptive to certain types of touch than others. A quick "Is this okay?" is a great way to check in with the other person. If the response is positive, you'll know that your feelings are reciprocated.
If you're not good at reading the signs or you haven't spotted any, ask questions to help draw the person out. It can be as simple as "Are you having a good time?" The response will give you a good idea of whether the person enjoys spending time with you or not.
If it's been some time since you started dating and you still can't tell, have an honest conversation. Get straight to the point and ask "Are you into me?" The worst he or she can say is no. In that case, you move on. If the answer is yes, savor it and seek ways to help your love interest come out of his or her shell when spending time with you.
You may already know that you're falling for one another, but it takes time and effort to develop closeness. Thankfully, there are ways to deepen the connection between you and your romantic interest a bit more quickly.
Share information about yourself you don't normally share with friends, such as personal struggles, fears, dreams. It gives the other person an opportunity to empathize and show support. Try not to get too heavy too soon. This can put people off early on in a relationship.
Ask what's important in his or her life. Give the other person the opportunity to go deep as well. You may be surprised when he or she reveals a level of personality that you never experienced before.
Try a new activity together that pushes your boundaries or puts you in your happy place. For example, take a dance class, try karaoke, or picnic under the stars. This will create new and unique memories that you can keep with you forever and strengthen the bond between the two of you.
Show your special someone that you care by asking him or her to spend time together more frequently. It shows that you see the relationship as a high priority and that you value nurturing the connection between you two.
Set aside at least one night a week to see one another. Reserve it as an unbreakable commitment on your calendar, so that when work or other issues arise, you aren't tempted to skip it.
Spend a weekend in to get to know one another better or book a weekend getaway. There's nothing like spending two or three days and nights away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It will allow you to connect on a deeper level and give you the opportunity to see one another in a new setting.
It's actually been proven that quality time is one the top indicators of long-term relationship success. Put in the effort now so that you can reap the rewards later.
Inviting your romantic interest to meet your friends and family is a great way to show that he or she is important to you. It sends a clear message that you want this person to be a part of your life. Start with a no pressure situation, such as a barbecue or a night out for cocktails. If they make an effort to get to know your loved ones and show interest in their lives, that's a good sign that they plan to stick around.
Introducing your love interest to friends and family will also give those closest to you a chance to see how this person treats you. If they are good people, but react negatively, there may be something off about your relationship. Whether or not they express this openly, check in with them later. Ask for their honest opinions. Most people are blind to the bad behaviors of people they are interested in. Friends and family have no qualms about breaking the illusion. However, if they see that you're happy and that your date is a good person, they will be happy for you too.
If everything has gone well so far, and the time feels right, it's time to pop the question. Be sure to ease into it so that your love interest isn't taken off guard.
Ask if you can have a conversation about the relationship.
Set aside a time to talk.
When you meet, share what you have enjoyed about your time together thus far.
Explain that you are willing and ready to commit to being exclusive and ask if he or she feels ready too.
Wait for his or her response.
Once you've said everything you'd like to say, leave space for your special someone to reflect and respond. There's no rush. If you truly care for one another, the conversation will be fruitful. Assume, going in, that he or she is just as interested as you are. However, also be prepared in case the conversation doesn't go the way you hoped.
There are going to be times when your attempt to make a relationship exclusive doesn't pan out. This could go a couple of ways.
The person you're interested in may not looking for a relationship or just doesn't want one with you. Don't take it personally. People vary drastically on what they want in a relationship. Although it may hurt at first, recognize that you can't be a match for everyone. In this case, it's best to cut your losses. If you are truly looking for lasting romance, the sooner you can move on, the better.
Alternatively, your special someone may need some time to think about your proposal. In that case, give it to them. Becoming exclusive is a big commitment. It's better for both of you to wait until you are certain it is the right move. However, it's okay to be practical. Before you close the conversation, set a date, perhaps one to three months in the future, in which you can revisit the topic. That way, you aren't waiting forever for your loved one to change his or her mind.
If you have another chat and the answer hasn't changed, you have to decide for yourself whether or not this person is worth waiting for. In the meantime, start seeing other people. You may actually find someone you like who wants to commit to you and only you.
In dating, becoming exclusive is a big deal. It shows that you really care about the person you are with and are willing to devote your time and energy to creating a lasting relationship. Take your time to move through each stage so that you build a deep connection before you suggest a commitment. In the end, you must be on the same page about what you want in life and in romance. Take your time. You will eventually find that special person who wants to make that commitment to you.

Domee Shi breaks new ground with remarkable career
by Meagan Kashty – Mar 7, 2022
Sheridan Facebook
Sheridan Twitter
Sheridan LinkedIn
In the decade since graduating from Sheridan, Oscar-winner Domee Shi (Bachelor of Animation '11) has carved a unique place in the world of animation.
Her unexpected but delightful characters stay true to her roots growing up in Toronto as the child of Chinese immigrant parents, while also bringing to life universally relatable stories about the push and pull of the parent-child relationship.
In her latest film, Turning Red, an ungainly but lovable red panda becomes the perfect metaphor for the awkward early teen years. The film, available on Disney+ on March 11, is also generating plenty of buzz for being unapologetically Toronto-centric: rumbling streetcars, the CN Tower and even bagged milk make up the backdrop for the authentically multicultural characters.
Turning Red – which is also Shi's debut as director of a major feature film – is just the latest in her anthology of work inspired by her own experiences. In 2018, her Academy Award-winning short film Bao was partially inspired by her own mother. It tells the story of an aging Chinese woman who gets another chance at motherhood when one of her dumplings springs to life. The woman excitedly welcomes the new bundle of joy into her life, but as the dumpling begins to grow, she must come to terms with the fact that nothing stays cute and small forever.
Shi returned to Sheridan back in 2018 to reflect on her time spent here as an emerging animator, and the path she followed to Pixar and her work on Bao. The eight-minute film was then billed as Pixar's longest-running short, and made Shi the first female director to helm a Pixar short film.
"Growing up as an only child to my Chinese parents, ever since I was little my mom would treat me like her own precious dumpling, making sure I didn't wander off or get into trouble," Shi said, ahead of Bao's release. The word "bao" can mean "steamed bun" or "something precious," depending on its pronunciation.
Shi's love of fairy tales also influenced the storyline. She saw Bao as an attempt to create a modern-day, Chinese version of the classic Gingerbread Man story.
Shi brough the idea to Pixar in 2015 when the studio tasked her and a few other animators to pitch ideas for a new theatrical short. Although she was concerned Bao would be too dark of a story, Pixar loved it.
To create Bao, the team took special care to research the intricacies of making dumplings, taking several field trips to Chinatown and photographing the bite-sized morsels alongside different Chinese foods. Pixar also flew Shi's mom in from Toronto to host dumpling-making classes for the animators, who would record her kneading and folding the dough. "When you see the opening shot of the dumplings being made, those hands are my mom's hands," she said. "We almost just copied her techniques one-for-one onto the screen."
"It's good creatively to put bits of yourself into your work because that's what makes it feel authentic and unique and truthful."
Pixar has an internationally-renowned reputation for its feature animated films, boasting Toy Story, The Incredibles, Inside Out and Coco among its many credits. The company has also won Academy Awards for its animated theatrical shorts, including For The Birds, Tin Toy, and Piper, which was directed by fellow Sheridan alumnus Alan Barillaro (Animation '96). In short, working at Pixar is a dream job for any aspiring animation student.
Shi came to the company organically. After developing an interest in animation in high school, she reached out to several artists whose work she followed. They directed her to Sheridan's animation program to hone in on what aspect of the industry she wanted to pursue. "At the time, I didn't know if I wanted to be an animator or story artist," she said.
It wasn't until a second-year animation class taught by Nancy Beiman that Shi found her passion for storyboarding. "[Storyboarding] combines everything I love – drawing, storytelling, cameras, composition – all into one profession. I was like 'I wanna do that.'"
Shi first applied to Pixar's internship program during her third year at Sheridan. After being rejected, she was inspired to work harder and add more depth to her portfolio, leading her to be accepted to the internship the following year. She was hired by Pixar shortly after, and has since worked on features including Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, the upcoming Toy Story 4 and Incredibles 2.
And much like Bao, Shi tries to inject a bit of her own personality in every project she takes on.
"I think it's really important – it's where you find the nuggets of truth in the work you create," she says. "It's good creatively to put bits of yourself into your work because that's what makes it feel authentic and unique and truthful."
As Pixar's first female director of an animated short, Shi was instrumental in laying the groundwork for future female animators. She's continued that path with Turning Red – the second feature Pixar film to be helmed by a female director.
Mark Mayerson, retired coordinator of the Bachelor of Animation at Sheridan, attests to her inspiration to current students.
"Women in the animation industry are still a minority, and there are relatively few in the top creative positions," he says. "Domee's success as a story artist and director at Pixar is doubly important for our women students, as she is evidence that there should be no limit to their ambitions."

How Studying the Past Can Help You Create a Successful Company
SMB Authors 10 years agoTips
Historians claim that the past has a lot of impact on the future and they are quite correct. The statement above may have been made in connection with foreign policy and diplomacy, but the point is that this statement can be applied to the business world too. The would-be entrepreneur can learn a thing or two from studying successful companies. Business concepts applied by successful firms can be replicated in the present with great results. This is the connection between history and the successful entrepreneur.
The great thing about this connection is that investors can look at the history of certain firms and copy some of the practices that made these firms successful. Investors can also look at the history of some firms and learn valuable lessons. The prudent entrepreneur may also spot some mistakes made by certain firms and avoid making those same mistakes.
Image by Neil Bird
The story of Apple Computers is an interesting one and there are valuable lessons for the investor here. The first lesson is that capital is not everything in business. In fact, human capital and entrepreneurship are more important than cash. When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple, they did not have a lot of cash but they had a lot of ideas. They also had a lot of drive and this is what kept the business going in the early years. Another lesson here is that the investor who supplies a need will a lot of the time become successful. There was a need for personal computers and Apple went into business to supply that need. This is why this firm has continued to grow.
Johnson Publishing Company
Image from JPC
Talking about success stories in recent history, one firm that readily comes to mind is the Johnson Publishing Company. The African American businessman, John H. Johnson, founded this firm. The story of this company is one of triumph against the odds. The founder of this profitable business had to overcome poverty before he began to publish the highly successful Ebony Magazine. After setting up his business, John Johnson fought another huge battle to create awareness and acceptance for his publications. The perseverance of this entrepreneur paid off and the Ebony publisher became one of the richest African Americans of all time. His business also grew into a very profitable organization and it has continued to thrive even after the death of the founder.

The success story of eBay is one that will inspire a lot of entrepreneurs. In the first place, Pierre Omidyar, who founded the company, is a French born Iranian immigrant. He was a computer programmer and he used his skills to build the website, which has now become a very lucrative business. The lessons here are simple.
A humble beginning is all right as long as the investor can think big. Again, smart people can use their skills and set up a business in the area of their specialization. Perfect timing is also a factor in the success of eBay. Online shoppers need the right platform. EBay came up at the right time to provide this platform and the result is great success.

The last company on this list sells natural food. This is such a simple concept but it has made the founders of Whole Foods billionaires. Whole Foods Market began in Texas in 1978. Today, this firm has operations in many American states and posts billions of dollars in annual turnover.
For the entrepreneur, the lessons here are quite easy to understand. Start small but think big. Recognize an opportunity and seize it with both hands. Supply a need and keep working hard. These are great success tips and these can be learned by simply studying successful companies in America.

Developers gear up for opening of The Morton in heart of downtown Grand Rapids
By Anya Zentmeyer, Development News Editor | Thursday, August 06, 2015
With only one month until The Morton's official opening date, Rockford Construction's Vice President of Real Estate Development Mike Mraz says he looks forward to the project's completion as the last piece of the puzzle for downtown Grand Rapids' core redevelopment.
"We've been active in downtown real estate redevelopment for over 15 years and to see the vast number of changes that have occurred in the city center in that time period is really remarkable, especially with a recession in the middle of that," says Mraz, whose firm began initial cleanup work on the building in December 2013.
Originally opened in 1972 as the Morton Hotel after the former National Hotel was destroyed by a fire, the hotel was remodeled in the 1970s to become the 220-unit Morton House Apartments, which closed in 2011.
The developers bought the 170,000-square-foot building at the end of 2011 for $5.8 million, receiving funding in part from the Downtown Development Authority, who awarded Rockford Construction Co. with a $50,000 building reuse grant for the renovation of the facade, a $35,000 grant to help fill the areaway, and another $35,000 grant for a new sidewalk and streetscape work along Ionia Avenue.
Additionally, the DDA agreed to reimburse Rockford partners 75 percent of the tax revenue the building will generate, which over the next decade totals out at $1.5 million. The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority also chipped in, providing a no-interest loan of $400,000 for the remediation work — asbestos removal and other cleanup — from its U.S. Environmental Protection Agency designated Revolving Loan Fund.
With a fourth floor outdoor courtyard and an approximately 500-square-foot indoor space for residents to exercise and bathe their pets, The Morton will also feature amenities like a 24-hour fitness center and an exclusive discounted membership to the nearby MVP.
Originally 13 stories, Rockford Construction developers added a 14th floor to house luxury condominiums, with the lower levels featuring 25,000 square feet of commercial space and the second floor a handful of apartment units and other building amenities. The third floor has 15,000 square feet of commercial office space, and the remaining floors are all reserved for residential units.
"There's an indoor community room so people can host an event or a birthday party or anything there and that's coordinated through our staff." Mraz says. "We have the indoor pet play area and wash area and I think that's going to be really popular. We're attracting people with pets already and that was quite a nice amenity they mentioned by name and partially the reason they wanted to live there."
Expected to draw 175-200 new residents who will live, dine, and shop at The Morton, Mraz says the new mixed-use is the perfect topper to a decade of redevelopment that is dramatically changing the city's urban core.
"So, seeing this building's redevelopment as really the last piece of the puzzle — it's not only just a building, but it's more than that. It's bringing that level of critical mass that is needed to keep a street like Monroe Center active and engaged," he says.

This is the 90th season of the league with the best football in the world and it promises to be as exciting and as spectacular as ever. Fascinating footballing contests are just around the corner, with the biggest stars ready to strut their stuff on the brilliant green turf of some of the world's most prestigious stadiums. The red carpet is well and truly ready for the start of one of the world's great spectacles. There is no series with 38 episodes like this competition, never mind one with 90 seasons.

Take Back the Night – Event recognizes Domestic Violence Awareness Month
March during "Take back the Night." Renato Lopez / The Paisano
Matthew Muriel
On Oct. 11, the UTSA Women's Studies Institute (WSI), UTSA Police Department (UTSA PD) and The Office of Student Advocacy, Violence Prevention and Empowerment hosted their annual "Take Back the Night" event in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
"Take Back the Night" has existed since the '70s, when the issue of violence against women became a topic of public conversation after a number of high profile cases garnered media attention. Since then, "Take Back the Night" has become a popular form of protesting the sexual and domestic violence against women in the United States and around the world.
At the beginning of the night, several organizations held a resource fair to provide students with information about domestic violence prevention, and assistance for survivors of domestic and sexual assault. The Student Center for Community Engagement and Inclusion, Women's Studies Institute (WSI), UTSA PD, UTSA Women in Leadership and the Rape Crisis Center were just a few of the organizations tabling at the event and provided resources for students to become more engaged. Students also participated in poster making; the posters were then used in a march around campus later that night.

"People who walk past us and hear us chanting and protesting will have to take a minute and think about sexual assault and harassment," said Sophia Anna Gonzalez, head of the Women in Leadership. "Is that an issue they face daily? Is that an issue that their friends face? And that's going to be something that they can reflect on and realize that this is an issue that students face."
"We are here this evening to demand the right to exist without the fear of being invisible in our communities. We demand the right to own our bodies, and we demand the right to walk the streets without the fear of being attacked," said Dr. Sonia Saldivar-Hull, Executive Director of the WSI, during the welcoming statements after the resource fair.
After Saldivar-Hull's opening remarks, she welcomed two guest speakers for the night: Chief of UTSA Police Gerald Lewis, and Jessica Munoz, Head of the Office of Student Advocacy and Violence Prevention.
Lewis spoke about UTSA PD's efforts to make the campus safer, and more inclusive for its students, and opened up personally about his own story.
"I grew up in a home where I was terrorized by my stepfather, who abused my mother physically, sexually and emotionally. I thank God for super-sizing me, because at some point he gave me the ability to protect my mother."
"I am the Police Chief and we are the Police Department for everyone. I don't want anyone to ever feel like they can't come and talk to us about something."
WSI interns then lead the student march around campus and chanted affirmations like "Women united will never be divided" and "Sexist, rapists, anti-gay, you can't take our night away!"
The night concluded with testimonials from students who have experienced sexual assault and domestic violence.
For more information and resources that deal with domestic violence and sexual assault please visit the Office of Student Advocacy, Violence Prevention and Empowerment located in the North Paseo Building (NPB 5.130) or contact them at 210-458-4077 and [email protected]

Miltoncontact: Patchwork Quilts, a declining artform?
"Duvets - If you are creative with a needle and thread or know someone who is, convert a thin duvet the into a patchwork to make a fantastic quilted gift!
Note: get the old duvet cleaned to kill dust mites and reduce dust mite allergens before quilting.
The presenters response implied that making patchwork quilts was not a likely activity in this day and age.
This made me think, is this true? Am I an old fogey? My family enjoy the occasional craft (see my mothers patchwork cushions above)and I'm sure there is a quilting community.

Two Different Foreclosure Plans Get Two Different Reactions
Two South Loop aldermen introduced legislation to address the growing problem of vacant foreclosed properties, although the advocacy group Action Now supports one while being skeptical of the other. The Chicago Journal reported on October 12, 2011, that while Action Now said the revised version of vacant building legislation from Pat Dowell (3rd Ward) "might not be worth doing," the group does "unequivocally support" an ordinance from Bob Fioretti (2nd Ward).
According to the Journal, Dowell's "new ordinance overly restricts the definition of what properties are considered vacant," Action Now says. The original version of Dowell's measure sought to make mortgage servicers holding a property after foreclosure secure and maintain that building unanimously passed the City Council on July 28. Action Now, however, contends that when the banks persuaded Dowell and Mayor Rahm Emanuel to revise the legislation, the advocacy group was not part of the negotiations. The updated legislation, they say, expands the definition of what properties are not vacant.
Fioretti's "more modest ordinance," co-sponsored by Deborah Graham (29th), would make mortgage servicers or whoever else legally holds a vacant property deploy watchmen at abandoned buildings that are within 1,000 feet of schools, according to the Journal. The bank or institution owning the vacant property would pay for the watchmen, Fioretti told the Journal. The alderman also proposed a different ordinance that would set up credit unions in tax increment financing districts, to pool unused TIF money toward the rehabilitation of foreclosed properties.
All over Chicago, there are a countless number of families seeking foreclosure help . Did you know that filing a Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help keep you in your home and immediately end creditor harassment? Our Chicago bankruptcy lawyers can help you understand all of your legal options in dealing with your debt. Even if you have never heard of a bankruptcy means test , contact our office today to take the first step toward becoming debt free and credit rich.
Lenders, Lawyers Could Challenge Chicago Foreclosure Law
A number of lending institutions and associations have filed protests against the Chicago City Council amendment to the municipal code that changed the definition of mortgagee to consider the lender as an owner of the property, and thus liable to maintain the property. The law passed on July 28, 2011, and supported by Mayor Rahm Emanuel will take effect on September 18, 2011, requiring lenders to take over and maintain vacant, attended residential and commercial properties.
According to GlobeSt.com, organizations such as the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and American Securitization Forum believe the new law goes against existing property law. Daniel Slattery, a Chicago-based partner at Pittsburgh-based Reed Smith, told the website that "foreclosure of any property is only an option, not a legal requirement by lenders … A lender could decide to hold its lien and never act, and still not legally own the property."
Who knows how long the political theater over this issue might be stretched out for, but continuing the debate is not much help to the many Chicagoans who need foreclosure help now. Whether a job loss or unforeseen medical bills have you struggling through hard times, our bankruptcy law firm can help you eliminate bills and stop foreclosure. Completing a bankruptcy means test today can go a long way toward ending creditor harassment tomorrow. Contact our office now to set up a free initial consultation with one of our Chicago bankruptcy lawyers.

PM Narendra Modi targets Congress party in Gandhi family's home turf Raebareli
PM Modi said that Congress party is trying to weaken India's defence forces
Shashank Bharadwaj
Taking the battle to the turf of Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress in Rae Bareli, a stronghold of the Gandhi family. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday to inaugurate various development projects, he also inspected the Modern Coach Factory in Rae Bareli.
Prime Minister Modi began his speech by paying homage to all those who sacrificed their lives during the 1971 war against Pakistan. In his first rally post recent election defeats, Narendra Modi slammed Congress party and its president Rahul Gandhi over development issues in their home turf.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APugAzp9fck]
PM Modi attacked Congress on the issues of Bofors scam and AgustaWestland chopper case. Referring to the extradition of fugitive middleman Christian Michel in the VVIP chopper case, Modi said, "He was brought to India, a few days back. You have seen how Congress had sent one of its own as a lawyer to save him. I want to know whether the Congress party is disturbed that there is no Quattrocchi "mama", Christian Michel uncle in the defence deals that BJP is doing." Modi went on to question that if this "constant worry" is the reason behind Congress' attempts of "creating an atmosphere of distrust over Indian judiciary".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the 900th coach and a Humsafar Rake of Modern Coach Factory. Attacking Congress party, PM Modi said, "This factory (Modern Coach Factory) was approved in 2007. The aim was to make 1,000 new coaches. The factory was ready. But for 4 years, these coaches were taken for painting. The factory was never allowed to function. Only 3 per cent of the machines were working in 2014, after we came to power, in 4 months, we changed this."
He further added that the country will not forget or forgive UPA government for its attitude towards the Armed forces. The country comes first and not the party for us and we are trying our best that people who have made a sacrifice of their lives shouldn't face any difficulties, said PM Modi.
"Today there are 2 sides before the country. One side is the govt that is trying to strengthen our forces. The other side that wants to weaken our forces at any cost. Country is a witness that Congress is standing with forces that don't want our forces to strengthen," he added. "The people of the party that raises questions on surgical strikes, trust enemy's claims more than our Army, what can be expected of them?" said the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Modi will later visit Prayagraj to review preparations for the Kumbh Mela. He will also inaugurate a state-of-the-art command and control centre at the Kumbh Mela, which is scheduled to start in January 2019.

Early Evangelist David Drake Never Stops Believing in Crypto 6 2704
Tina Mulqueen May 4, 2018 6:56 pm July 31, 2018
David Drake, Founder and Chairman at LDJ Capital, a $200 million cryptocurrency fund, recently put a bold stake in the ground when he went on Bloomberg to declare Bitcoin may be valued at $30k by the end of 2018. Drake's commentary was picked up by just about every crypto trade publication with other industry leaders adding their two cents.
Over the last seven years, Drake has steadily made a name for himself as a leader in cryptocurrency. He saw the value of digital assets back in 2011 when other investors were still avoiding it. About six years later, a lot of others had faith in the market too. 2017 was the year cryptocurrency went mainstream, more institutional investors got in on the market and we saw Bitcoin close out the year with its highest valuation yet.
Since then, we've seen a roller coaster of sharp falls, followed by steady growth and so on. "We see organizations of people using strategies that are forbidden in traditional trading environments, including pumping up certain cryptocurrencies and then dumping them. These types of Black-Box trading strategies manipulate the market and cause a large part of the volatility we are seeing at this stage," says Drake.
In response, there has been a lot of talk about what needs to be done in order to improve the cryptocurrency ecosystem. "There needs to be regulation, self regulation and SEC guidance, plain and simple," adds Drake. However, this is something many coin offerings have been hesitant of given the digital asset's somewhat nefarious beginnings. The anonymity and decentralization of cryptocurrency markets will be lost once governments and regulatory agencies get involved, but this is necessary according to Drake. "We need to work collaboratively in order for the market to reach its full potential,"he says.
When asked what the market will look like ten years from now, Drakes confidence never wavers. "It will be 85 times bigger and we will see complete fluidity between the market, Wall Street and financial institutions."
Despite the ups and downs of the current market, the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple have, for the most part, been the top three cryptocurrencies in the market. Drake believes we may see that disrupted. "Despite all of the media buzz and widespread consumer interest, this market is still in its infancy. There is definitely potential for existing and new coin offerings to shake things up. Bitcoin Cash, EOS, Cardano and Litecoin have been gaining ground in their own right. "I could see EOS surpassing Ethereum's position by year-end," says Drake. "Admittedly, it is all speculation without knowing what other coin offerings may enter the market. Anything is possible."
Regardless of those possibilities, watching the cryptocurrency market evolution is sure to be interesting.

Bitcoin Uses As Much Energy As Austria, Could Add 2°C to Earth's Atmosphere 2,187 17535
Brian Oaster November 8, 2018 7:36 am November 8, 2018

Bitcoin mining, it turns out, damages the earth more than more traditional environmental assaults like actual mineral mining.
According to a paper published Monday in Nature Sustainability, the power-hungry Bitcoin mining process consumes more than triple the amount of energy needed to mine the equivalent amount of gold, more than quadruple what's needed for copper, and more than double what it takes to mine platinum.
Other coins didn't fare much better. By their measurements, Ethereum and Litecoin consume 7 megajoules of electricity to produce the equivalent of $1, the same energy expenditure as copper mining but more than that of platinum or gold. Monero eats up 14 megajoules to produce $1.
Naturally, these measurements refer to the notoriously variable dollar valuations of such tokens. "While the market prices of the coins are quite volatile," write researchers Max J. Krause and Thabet Tolaymat, "the network hashrates for three of the four cryptocurrencies have trended consistently upward, suggesting that energy requirements will continue to increase."
Bitcoin's Growing Electricity Bill is Bigger Than Some Countries
We've long known that Bitcoin is unsustainable. In a 2015 article for Motherboard, Christopher Malmo pointed out that a single Bitcoin transaction used 5,033 times as much energy as a Visa swipe, and could power 1.5 American homes for a day.
The electricity used to crunch Bitcoin code—and its environmental cost—has been growing with its increasing popularity. Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index shows Bitcoin currently consuming 73.12 terawatt hours (or 263.232 billion megajoules) of electricity annually. To put that in context, it's comparable to the amount of energy it takes to power Austria for a year.
That means there are 175ish countries on earth using less energy than Bitcoin (to say nothing of crypto on the whole), while 66 countries consume less energy per capita than one Bitcoin transaction (it takes 94 thousand kilowatt hours of electricity to mine a single Bitcoin).
Iceland, a major hub of Bitcoin mining farms, spends nearly as much energy on Bitcoin as it does powering its residential homes. In this case, the damage is mitigated because most of Iceland's power comes from renewable energy.
Canada's Bitcoin emissions are also on the lower end due to renewable energy sources. They're using this to court mining companies from China, where mining emissions are about four times that of Canada's. Montreal International attracts foreign investment by calling Quebec the land of "green bitcoin". This has caught the eye of some Chinese mining companies looking to go overseas as the Chinese government has discouraged expansion and shut down some mining operations altogether.
Depending on Bitcoin's growth, some have projected that it could use as much energy as the entire world by 2020.
Digital Currency Has a Real Carbon Footprint
Krause's and Tolaymat's research reminds us of the sobering reality that all this invisible wealth has real world costs.
For the 30 months they measured between January 2016 and June 2018, they estimate their four featured tokens collectively belched out at least 3 million tons of CO2 emissions, possibly as much as 15 million tons.
These findings follow another study, published last month, which determined Bitcoin alone could add two degrees Celcius to global warming within the next three decades. That's enough to raise ocean acidity by 29 percent.
Solving Bitcoin's Energy Consumption Crisis
So what is the solution? If the world were to switch to 100 percent renewable energy overnight, the problem would be moot. But we can't hold our breath for that. There could be ways of incentivizing clean energy so greener mines reap more coins, or of implementing clean energy in other ways.
It's also possible to adopt less computationally intensive mining algorithms so the mining computers don't guzzle as much juice. This would disappoint a lot of old school Bitcoiners who have invested in hardware, but their feelings don't really outweigh that 2 degrees celcius that everyone will have to live with (or die by).
Whatever the best solution turns out to be, something needs to change soon. Bitcoin is growing up, and it's time for it to mature into something more sustainable.
There's an Inflatable 'Bitcoin Rat' Staring Down the Fed 95 13290
Someone has put a giant inflatable rat outside the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.
It's covered in Bitcoin code, printed in rainbow colors, and is apparently a piece of installation art aimed at subverting the federal institution that controls the US dollar. Or is it pale, puffed-up pariah a commentary on Bitcoin bros themselves? Or does it have something to do with Warren Buffett, who earlier this year called Bitcoin "rat poison squared"? According to CoinDesk, who first reported on the inflatable rat, the meaning is intentionally ambiguous.
The artist behind the puzzling prank is Nelson Saiers. He describes his own work as "mystifying" and "singularly original", notwithstanding the long history of rats being inflated as protests or used as economic and political icons in art and entertainment around the world.
"It's art, so I hope they're entertained by it," he said, apparently implying that art is entertainment. "It's informative, I hope people will learn [and] I'm hoping it'll at least help people understand bitcoin better and be kind of faithful to what Satoshi would have wanted," he added, citing the mysterious pseudonym of Bitcoin's founder with a touch of reverence.
A $50 Million Artist
Saiers, a phD in theoretical mathematics, was a hedge fund manager who did that thing where you give up all the money to chase your dream of being an artist.
His financial experience includes a stint as managing director at Deutsche Bank's prop trading desk, before becoming CIO of Saiers Capital, the hedge fund that bears his name. His creative career gives credence to the theory that working as an artist is more and more a privilege of the very wealthy.
CNBC estimated Saiers's wealth to be around $50 million at the time of he departed from the financial industry to pick up his paintbrushes.
The Rat Joins a Tradition of Sculpture-as-Commentary in FiDi
The Bitcoin rat, which stands on Maiden Lane, isn't the first pop up sculpture to grace Manhattan's financial district. Last year, Kristen Visbal's 50 inch bronze 'Fearless Girl' statue made waves by staring down the famous 'Charging Bull', to the outrage of 'Charging Bull' sculptor Arturo Di Modica. The 3.5 ton 'Charging Bull' itself was left on Wall Street in the middle of the night when Di Modica originally created it, obstructing traffic and drawing the curiosity of passers by.
When Saiers placed the Bitcoin rat, he initially set it up on private property and was promptly ushered off by security guards, who he says were good natured about the situation. He expects the sculpture to be more temporary than the aforementioned Wall Street bronzes, and will probably only be around for a few days.
A Critique of the 2008 Bailouts
The placement of the rat on Maiden Lane seems to be no accident, but rather a reference to the Maiden Lane Transactions, more commonly known as that time when the Fed bailed out the big banks after they all caused the 2008 market crash. The Bitcoin crowd's antipathy towards the Fed and the big banks is palpable in Sairs's rat sculpture, and while a more specific meaning eludes, perhaps the success of the piece depends upon its ability to start conversations about the state of finance.
We'll leave it to the viewers to decide who's the rat—the Federal Reserve, or Bitcoin itself—and what that means for the future of currencies.

Pick your party
By Jennifer McCaffrey
Friday will serve up SU's controversial new Mayfest, Euclid's beer-fueled gathering and the Block Party concert featuring N.E.R.D. and Drake.
First it was condoned, then forbidden. Today, it returns in new form.
Though Syracuse University officials attempted to cancel it last fall, the annual Mayfest celebration is back, albeit in a different format. The day off from classes originally intended to allow students to showcase their comprehensive projects and classwork for peers and the community, but it soon became synonymous with the day-long beerfest on Euclid Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood.
After months of meetings, debate and student protest, the University reversed its decision to completely ban Mayfest. The University, in collaboration with the City of Syracuse, Student Association and University Union, reinstated Mayfestas a university-sanctioned event in Walnut Park, to take place on April 30. A separate day, SU Showcase, was reserved to celebrate student achievement while classes were in session.
Anticipating that festivities will continue on Euclid, the Office of Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner sent letters and e-mails to students living in the Euclid area discouraging reckless drinking , crowding in the streets, and warning of heightened police presence on April 30.
Following the street celebration, University Union's annual Block Party concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. the same evening, featuring Drake in the Carrier Dome.
In case the new Mayfest layout makes planning difficult, here's a breakdown of the April 30 events:
Mayfest 2010 in Walnut Park
When: Friday, April 30 1 p.m. -5:30p.m.
What's happening: Free beer for students 21 and older with a valid driver's license/government ID and SU/ESF ID, free food, giveaways and music by Delirium, XV and RJD2.
All about the event:
Walnut Park will be divided into three sections with a stage for the musical acts separating the 21+ drinking crowd from the underage students. Wristbands with tabs will be distributed to students of-age upon entering the 'drinking zone'. Organizers will monitor alcoholic consumption by taking a tab from each student's wristband after they have been given a drink. Coolers of food and beverages will not be permitted within the park during the event and parking around Walnut will be prohibited.
What students say:
"I'm pretty sure that we're going to go to Walnut because I guess that's where it's moved to," said Chris Schultz, an undeclared freshman. "I hear a lot of rumors that people are going to Euclid anyway so I'll probably just follow the crowd. But initially, probably, Walnut."
Euclid Avenue
When: Friday, April 30, whenever students wake up
What's happening? House parties, beer pong, bad decisions, you name it
All about the event: In previous years thousands of students have flooded Euclid Avenue as house parties pour onto the sidewalks and front lawns along the street. Mayor Miner promised that Syracuse Police and the Department of Public Safety will strictly enforce public drinking ordinances and noise violations during the party-hopping pandemonium.
"I haven't heard anything about Walnut, it's been mostly people still saying they want to go to Euclid for Mayfest," said Chantell Jackson, an African American Studies freshman.
"We're not going to Walnut because we're not 21 and they're swiping your IDs so we'll probably go elsewhere," said Ashley Brown, an education sophomore. "Euclid is a little sketchy because the cops will be everywhere. So far Comstock hasn't had any trouble so I think that's where people will be, at the frats to stay drinking."
Block Party featuring Drake
When: Friday, April 30, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Carrier Dome. Doors open at 6 p.m.
What's happening? Francis and The Lights and K-OS open for N.E.R.D. and headliner, Drake
All about the event: University Union's biggest concert of the year sold out and will go down in UU's record book as the biggest ever with an expected crowd of 9,584.
"I think this is someone people want to see," said Deniece Holley, UU co-director of concerts. "Drake and N.E.R.D. are acts people want to see and are very relevant to kids our age so I don't think festivities of the day will deter people."
"I also think because Walnut is University sponsored, people will be much more aware of how they behave," Holley said. "I don't think there's going to be people falling down drunk," Holley adds.
"I'm pretty excited for the day as a whole because it is a nice departure from reality, whatever activities people do choose to engage in," said Sam Morgenstern, a magazine journalism senior. "I'm definitely going to Block Party because I already have a ticket. I'll probably join the festivities or figure out what my friends and roommates are doing, I'm pretty flexible and using it as a day off, which is nice."

James Osborne July 15, 2017 Updated: July 15, 2017 1:18 a.m.
WASHINGTON - The Environmental Protection Agency is moving ahead on rewriting a methane regulation opposed by the oil and gas industry after a federal appellate court blocked the agency from delaying the rule for as long as two years.
Officials from the agency began taking testimony in a public hearing last week as they made their first steps toward the expected rollback of the regulation signed by former President Barack Obama. The rule aims to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas drilling, which the industry opposes as costly and unnecessary.
On Monday, activists and industry officials gave testimony on why the regulation should or should not be amended.
"We live under the highest concentration of methane pollution in the U.S., and it's proven to come from oil and natural gas production sites," Emily Bowie of Colorado said. "The idea that EPA would turn a blind eye to the truth and willingly put people in my community at risk on the whims and desires of industry is unacceptable."
Howard Feldman, senior director for regulatory and scientific affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, countered: "EPA's 2016 rule failed to account for all of the costs associated with the final rule requirements and did not provide significant environmental benefit. The last thing we need are more duplicative and costly regulations that could increase the cost of energy."
The methane regulation was scheduled to go into effect in June, but EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt ordered a 90-day delay that he tried to extend two years before environmental groups sued.
The Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington recently ruled Pruitt's delay was "unreasonable," "arbitrary" and "capricious," ordering EPA to enforce the rule while it goes through the process of rewriting it.

Imamiya-jinja is a shrine in northern Kyoto that is probably overlooked a lot by tourists. It is not as amazing I guess as most of the other sites in the city and if you are pressed with time then it is completely understandable. It is a shrine that is very close to Daitoku-ji temple complex which should be a must for most tourist so it isn't that far out of the way to take a look. It has been around since 1001 so a thousand years! It protects against epidemics and was built at a time when there was one going around Kyoto. On one side of the bridge is the east gate to the shrine where there are two restaurants that offer roasted rice cakes and have been in business since the year 1001 roughly. I believe they are the oldest business that is still running in the world. That's a long time.

South Bay History
The Daily Breeze's Sam Gnerre looks at the way we were in the South Bay
30 years later, D. Boon of the Minutemen remains a San Pedro legend
Posted on December 19, 2015 by Sam Gnerre

Dennes Dale Boon died 30 years ago this month, on Dec. 22, 1985, to be exact.
14 years before that, when he was 13 years old, he dropped out of a tree in Peck Park in San Pedro park in front of startled fellow teen Mike Watt, saying "You're not Eskimo."
Watt replied, "No, I'm not Eskimo." "Eskimo" apparently was a friend that Boon thought might be in the park, Watt found out later.
Boon then proceeded to regale Watt with note-for-note comedy routines from George Carlin albums, which Watt, unfamiliar with them, originally thought Boon was making up on the spot.
They became fast friends. They attended Dodson Junior High, and then San Pedro High School together, graduating from SPHS in 1976.

George Hurley also graduated that year, and though he would become the inventive drummer for the Minutemen, the influential band that Watt and Boon would form in 1980, he didn't know them in high school.
But we're getting ahead of the story. Before forming the Minutemen, Boon and Watt spent their formative years playing together for fun. They were fond of jamming on songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper.
In the definitive documentary on the band, 2005's "We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen," Watt, a military brat who moved to San Pedro from Maryland when he was 10, describes how the two would get together in Boon's mom's house, in a former Navy housing tract that had been converted into a housing project.
Mrs. Boon learned to live with the constant guitar playing emanating from D. Boon's room. It comforted her; she preferred knowing where the boys were to having them roam the streets. She died when Boon was 18.
With the arrival of the first wave of punk-rock in the mid-1970s, Watt and Boon realized that the music's do-it-yourself ethic applied to them as well. The quest to form a band begun, and, in 1979, The Reactionaries were born.
The "We Jam Econo" DVD.
Boon and Watt hooked up with drummer Hurley, and they recruited Martin Tamburovich to be their lead singer.
While attending a Clash concert at the Santa Monica Civic in February 1979, they came across Greg Ginn of Black Flag, who was handing out flyers for an upcoming Black Flag show in San Pedro.
After Boon and Watt described the Reactionaries to him, Ginn invited the band to be on the bill at a Black Flag show in San Pedro, which ended up being held at a teen center at 240 N. Mesa Street, having been moved at the last minute from the nearby Star Theatre.
The Feb. 17, 1979 bill for San Pedro's first punk-rock show included the Alley Cats, the Plugz, and South Bay bands the Descendents and the unbilled The Last, who played two songs. It was Black Flag's second gig ever, and the Reactionaries' first, and it ended in chaos when unruly punk fans began trashing the recently remodeled teen center.
The Reactionaries lasted only a few months before Boon decided they didn't need a separate lead singer. In January 1980, they reformed as the Minutemen, a three-piece consisting of Boon, Watt and original drummer Frank Tonche, who played the band's first two live gigs before being replaced by Hurley to form the band's classic lineup.
The band's name referenced the New England Revolutionary War fighters, though many assumed it referred to the length of the band's songs, few of which broke the one-minute barrier in length.
By now, Boon had become a talented guitarist with a distinctive staccato picking style that meshed with Watt's increasingly fluid bass playing and Hurley's innovative, jazz-influenced drumming. They were a part of the punk scene, but the band's music, with its elements of funk, hard rock, jazz and punk, was unlike anyone else's on the scene.
Bands and club owners expecting a typical hardcore punk band often were baffled by the band's distinctive sound.
The band assimilated its varied influences – the 1970s rock bands mentioned above, Captain Beefheart, Wire, improvisational jazz, Parliament/Funkadelic – into a series of arresting bursts of sound and fury.
The band performed its first gig as the Minutemen at the Seahawk Center at Los Angeles Harbor College on May 30, 1980. Also on the bill: The Plugz, The Gears and Red Cross (who would be forced by the charity organization to change their name to Redd Kross).
As the Minutemen began to find themselves musically, Boon transformed himself into a natural frontman. He sang on most of the band's songs while playing lead guitar and bouncing around the stage with a manic glee.
Daily Breeze music writer Michael Lev captured it best in this 1985 appreciation of Boon:
"On stage, D. Boon as performer and singer was pained. He didn't bother to keep his huge body under control. Instead, it grabbed him, flinging him around the stage so it appeared he was holding onto the neck of his guitar for dear life."

The band's first record, the 7-track, 7-minute "Paranoid Time" came own on Black Flag's SST label in 1980. It would release four albums on the label, the most successful of which was its double-album opus, "Double Nickels on the Dime," in 1984, considered to be its masterpiece.
D. Boon also was a visual artist, designing the album covers for five of the band's records.
By this time, the band had received critical acclaim for its unique sound and vision throughout the rock music world. R.E.M., then in the process of becoming one of the most popular bands in rock music, insisted that the band tour with them for a month's worth of dates on its 1985 tour.

On Dec. 13, 1985, the Minutemen played what would be its final show at the Park Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. R.E.M. called the band onstage for its final encore, a cover version of "See No Evil" by Television.
On Dec. 22, 1985, D. Boon was headed for a New Mexico vacation following the tour in Boon's 1979 Dodge van being driven by his girlfriend, Linda Kite, whom he'd planned to marry in 1986. Kite's sister, Jeanine Garfias, also was in the van.
Boon wasn't feeling well and was lying down on a blanket in the rear of the van when an axle broke 50 miles east of Quartzsite, Ariz. The van rolled over, and Boon was killed instantly. Kite and Garfias suffered serious injuries.
He was buried in Green Hills on Jan. 4, 1986.

Boon's bandmates were devastated. They later would regroup and form fIREHOSE, and Mike Watt has gone on to a successful solo career, but there was no replacing D. Boon.

While Fort Worth is a large and dynamic city, it fully embraces its cowboy roots, and this only-in-Texas training starts at a young age. At the Cattle Raisers Museum little tikes can read up on the history of the cattle industry, from its open range days in the 1850s to the modern era of mechanized ranches and online auctions. There's also a collection of antique saddles, hand-forged spurs, and over a thousand branding irons. Head on over to the Fort Worth Stockyards where, since 1866, ranchers have sold and traded cattle. They no longer host auctions, but the historic district still hosts a daily cattle drive and weekend rodeos.

'Shame: HIV/AIDS and the Church in Jamaica' at Newseum in July
Nadine. Image by Andre Lambertson. Jamaica, 2014.
Thursday, July 16, 2015 - 07:00pm EDT (GMT -0400)
The Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum, in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center, presents "Shame: HIV/AIDS and the Church in Jamaica" with poet Kwame Dawes and photographer Andre Lambertson. The session on Thursday, July 16 is the third in the Newseum-Pulitzer Center series on "Faith, Freedom, Sexuality & Silence" held in Washington, DC.
Over the past six years the rate of HIV/AIDS infection in Jamaica has remained around 1.7 to 2 percent. This steady rate has caused many to forget the challenges of stigma and social rejection that HIV-positive Jamaicans continue to experience. Despite efforts within some churches to increase awareness of the disease and acceptance of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, the church in Jamaica in many ways remains space of silence and neglect.
Dawes and Lamberston combine original Pulitzer Center-supported reporting, long-form journalism, poetry and photography to reveal the complex combination of secrecy, shame, bravery, compassion, paranoia, anxiety, hopefulness, anger, and fear of Jamaicans whose lives have intersected around the issue of HIV/AIDS.
Their interviews with ministers and theologians, activists and advocates, individuals and communities explore the church's response to the epidemic and its evolving views on homosexuality.
Dawes' first project working with the Pulitzer Center resulted in "Live, Hope, Love", the award-winning interactive multimedia on the human face of HIV/AIDS in Jamaica combining poetry with original reporting, rich photography and video documentary created by Dawes and a small team of grantees and staff. Honors for the Live, Hope, Love team included a Gracie Award for outstanding radio documentary and an Emmy for new approaches to news and documentary programming.
As with "Live, Hope, Love" and its related Pulitzer Center project "Hope: Living and Loving with HIV in Jamaica" an extended article in Virginia Quarterly Review, poetry and photography are at the core of "Shame." The Pulitzer Center's reporting on HIV in the Caribbean is supported by the M·A·C-AIDS Fund.
Free but registration required.
The event comes a day after a related Pulitzer Center event at Johns Hopkins SAIS. On Wednesday, July 15, the Center for Transatlantic Relations will screen 'The Abominable Crime,' a documentary film about homophobia in Jamaica. Filmmaker Micah Fink and human rights lawyer Maurice Tomlinson, a subject of the film, will be present for a discussion to follow. The screening is part of the Center for Transatlantic Relations' Geopolitics of LGBT Rights Forum Series. Please RSVP separately for the July 15 event.
Knight Conference Center, 7th Floor
555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
(Please use the 6th Street NW entrance)
Reception follows the discussion.

For many of us, the summer months have flown by in a fog of activity. Before you know it, the leaves will turn and cool temperatures will set in. To make the most of the last days of summer, the UW Health Mindfulness Program offers you four ways to slow down and savor this precious season.
Take a late afternoon or evening walk or drive, in your neighborhood or on your favorite trail, and bring attention to the quality of daylight that extends into evening. Notice the light and the sounds around you and their changing qualities as daylight fades. You may be drawn to notice the colors of the sky at the horizon, blinking lights of fireflies, or chirping insects. Take a few moments to allow the senses to take it all in. The mind may fast-forward to thoughts of shorter days ahead, with excitement or apprehension. It's a natural pattern for the mind to look to the future. For this moment, however, rest the attention in the experience of a summer evening.
Enjoy the bounty that summer brings by eating some locally-grown fruits or vegetables, whether from your own garden, from one of the many farmer's markets in the area, or from the locally-grown section in your favorite supermarket. Notice the vibrant colors, shapes, smells and tastes of the food. Take a few mindful bites, noticing the textures and flavors as you bite into it, chew and swallow. Perhaps also take a few moments to recognize and appreciate the soil, water, sun, and human hands that helped to grow this item and make it available. The summer temperatures and weather make such a harvest possible. Experience a moment of gratitude through food.
Step outside and notice sensations of sun and breeze on skin. Notice the warmer air that surrounds you and that you breathe in. Feel the lightness of summer clothing. Maybe take a few barefoot steps, noticing the sensations throughout the feet of walking in direct contact with the grass, the sidewalk, or the earth. Find a spot where you can pause, perhaps sit or lie down, and spend a few moments gazing at the sky. Notice the quality of the colors in the summer sky and watch any clouds present as they shift and move, ever-changing in nature. Be curious about cloud shapes and identify the animal or object they resemble. Invoke a bit of childlike curiosity for a few moments of summer sky gazing.
Purposefully spend a few moments tuning in to the sounds of summer, such as birds singing and squawking in the early morn, the clamor of children playing outside, voices of neighbors talking nearby, the mechanical hum of a lawn mower, or the buzzing of cicadas as evening falls. Be curious about the sounds around you and notice the qualities of different sounds as they arrive to your ears. Notice too as the mind questions or puts judgments of like or dislike on certain sounds. See if, for these moments, you can allow the questions and judgments to soften and simply listen to summer.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the UW Health Mindfulness Program, we are offering a reduced class fee for the 8-week program. To register for a Fall 2018 class, visit uwhealth.org/mindfulness.


Republicans want more tax cuts – Sad!
This would add a lot to the deficit. Their first bill already has and is not popular because the public know it primarily helped the wealthy. Republicans only care about the deficit when Democrats want programs that would help people.
Good discussion of how the new GOP tax bill could push factories offshore from Zheli He @Wharton.


The Bombay High Court will hear the plea against Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan-starrer 'Kedarnath' on Thursday.
The petition, filed by lawyers Ramesh Chandra Mishra and Prabhakar Tripathi, seeks reassessing of the film by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on grounds that "it hurts religious sentiments and promotes love-jihad".
According to their petition, "The love story between a Hindu girl (played by Sara) and a Muslim boy (played by Sushant) will create a drastic situation and will promote love-jihad."
The plea also stated that shooting a love scene at Kedarnath, an important pilgrimage site for Hindus, hurts their religious sentiments.
The petitioners have demanded that the movie, which is slated to hit the big screens on December 7, should not be released till CBFC clears it again.
The lawyer for CBFC, who was present before the court, opposed the petition by terming it "politically-motivated". "CBFC has assessed the movie as per set guidelines by following all procedures. This petition is politically motivated, " the counsel for CBFC stated.
