Magazine: 10 October 2020
Issue: 10 October 2020
Now the Tories must make it their mission to repair the country
From magazine issue: 10 October 2020
The centrepiece of Boris Johnson's speech to Tory party conference this year was his Damascene conversion to the merits of wind farms. Some people used to sneer and say wind power wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, he said — referring, of course, to himself, writing in 2013. Now, his post-Covid plan for Britain is wind farms powering every home by the end of the decade. But the Prime Minister was right first time.
When he was dismissing wind power, it was eye-wateringly expensive and was forecast to stay that way for the foreseeable future. No one envisaged, then, how global competition and technology would force prices down. The turbines being prepared for Dogger Bank wind farm, with their 100-metre blades, will be generating wind power at £40 per megawatt hour — less than half the price taxpayers will be charged for the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant under the deal disastrously negotiated by George Osborne.
If Johnson had run for party leader talking about wind farms, he would not have been elected. It's not that the Tories are against them, it's just that the energy revolution will happen anyway, globally, with or without government, and wind power is a pretty poor substitute for a vision when local high street shops are boarded up, jobs hang in the balance and children's education is in tatters. What we need government to do is to preserve public services, minimise damage caused by Covid and start the job of social repair.
The feeling inside No. 10 is that the battle is on to design the post-Covid world. The competing visions will be Labour's state-driven agenda and a Conservative response looking to free enterprise. The Prime Minister drew out these battle lines explicitly, and committed himself to the latter. 'We need the economic robustness to deal with whatever the next cosmic spanner may be hurtling towards us in the dark,' he said. A country depending on debt and state spending will be far more vulnerable, especially if the Bank of England refuses to print money for the government to borrow.
The problem is that while he sings the praises of the market, he is expanding the government at the fastest rate in history. No country in the world has a bigger gap between state spending and the tax haul. Fiscal discipline in his government has collapsed: HS2 is going ahead at a projected cost of between £65 billion and £88 billion, but Lord Berkeley, former deputy chairman of the government's independent review into the project, says it could climb to £107 billion. Some £500 million is being spent on buying a 3G satellite network that went bust. Public sector wages are being pushed higher at a time when inflation (and private sector wages) are falling.
The bill for this spending will, eventually, have to be paid. If the Prime Minister rules out spending reform — or 'austerity', as he calls it — then taxes will have to rise, which risks choking off the economic recovery on which he so rightly depends. This basic point is in danger of being forgotten by the Tory party more generally: that today's spending is tomorrow's tax rise. They cannot cheer on spending splurges today, and wish for a low-tax private sector-driven recovery tomorrow.
But after a miserable summer, there are signs of the Prime Minister making a political recovery. A Brexit deal looks increasingly likely, paving the way for a January cabinet reshuffle — resetting his team and his agenda. He has a difficult task ahead with the revival of the virus in the north of England: scientific advisers will be swarming him, urging him to lock down. It's a difficult job to balance the threat of the virus against the harm that lockdowns inflict on economies, communities and public health.
It is also proving difficult to establish the efficacy of lockdown as a tool of controlling the virus, locally or nationally, both here and abroad. The 'Rule of Six' was introduced on the strength of the experience of Belgium — which this week introduced a 'rule of four' and closed bars and coffee shops in the capital.
National lockdown on 23 March had nothing like the effect predicted by Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, but this has not discouraged Boris from offering similar advice this time. Italy and Sweden have both been successful — at least for now — but by using very different techniques. With such mixed evidence, there is no clear way out.
After almost being killed by the virus, it is understandable that the Prime Minister has taken his time to recover. But now his health is restored, he must devise a clearer plan and a clearer direction. He must show that he understands that people are suffering and that he is ready to do what he can to help. For families who fear they're about to lose their income, talk of more wind farms is utterly irrelevant.
People in Boris Johnson's new northern heartlands need to know that real help is on the way. This, now, ought to be the Tory mission.
Now that the Prime Minister's health is restored, he must devise a clearer plan and a clearer direction

Tuesday's monthly Community Build Task Force meeting included proponents for the original site of The Big Toy at Keizer Rapids Park – and a further explanation of why the site along Chemawa Road should be considered.
Rhonda Rich, president of the West Keizer Neighborhood Association (WKNA) explained her group unanimously supported siting the play structure at Site 1, also referred to as Area B. Will Stitt, the former CBTF member who originally brought up the idea for the structure in late 2012, also spoke in favor of that site.
Rich said WKNA members came up with eight advantages for Site 1, including being near the amphitheater and future education center, being in the heart of KRP and visibility to those on paths and at the boat ramp. In contrast, seven disadvantages were listed for the site in the current orchards at the front of the park, an area that would have to be incorporated into the city's Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) in order to be used. That process is currently underway via Nate Brown, Keizer's director of Community Development.
Rich recalled Mayor Lore Christopher during a past Parks Board tour referring to Area B as a midway.
Keizer City Councilor Jim Taylor emphasized Area B is the current site.
Stitt, who is no longer on the task force due to family commitments, listed several advantages to the current site.
Stitt also noted play structure designer Jane Lewis Holman from contractor Leathers and Associates fell in love with Area B when she visited in November.
Christopher, who first brought up the idea of the site in the orchards in January, was watching the meeting and decided to speak.
Christopher said her concerns about Area B arose when she saw a map showing how the play structure would fit in.
The mayor said she wanted all possible sites at KRP explored, hence the orchards.
"If (Area B) is what people want, fine," she said. "I think by Chemawa Road is one potential site, but I trust the people in this city to choose the best location. Maybe residents will choose that site, maybe they won't. We only have one opportunity to get it right. We need to gather as much information before we make a decision. I don't think you guys had that. You were given three choices. If we're able to bring those 28 acres into the UGB, we may end up in the same area anyway. But we'll know we have all the options and we chose this area.

Zac Efron Says He Had to "Fight" to Get His Voice in "High School Musical 2"
He didn't sing in the first movie.
By Suzannah Weiss
©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection
Troy's performance of "Get'cha Head in the Game" in High School Musical is arguably one of the most famous moments in Disney Channel history, but our minds have been totally blown by the truth behind the vocals of the movie.
Though he starred as Troy Bolton in the franchise, Zac Efron's voice can barely be heard in any of the first movie's songs. It turns out he recorded them but didn't make the final cut, and most of his parts were sung instead by actor Drew Seeley, with Zac lip-syncing on-screen. And Zac wasn't told why, he said in a 2007 Orlando Sentinel interview recently unearthed by J-14.
"In the first movie, after everything was recorded, my voice was not on them," he said. "I was not really given an explanation. It just kind of happened that way. Unfortunately, it put me in an awkward position. It's not something I expected to be addressed. Then High School Musical blew up. I'm very fortunate that Drew has gotten proper credit and also that I've gotten the opportunity to come back and try it again with my own voice."
He said he believes Drew is a better singer than him, while he's just "a regular kid that can carry a tune." However, he was adamant about getting to sing in the second movie. "That was a very huge point for me," he said. "I had to put my foot down and fight to get my voice on these tracks."
As a result, it's Efron's voice you're hearing in High School Musical 2 and High School Musical 3: Senior Year. So while "Get'cha Head in the Game" might not have been Zac, it's at least comforting to know that "Bet On It" was totally him. He also went on to sing in Hairspray, and he'll be co-starring in the musical The Greatest Showman. It's hard to imagine what the entire High School Musical franchise would sound like if he hadn't fought to have his voice heard — literally.

Settling in Hardy
The first family to move to Hardy was Graham Medley and his wife Maria. Medley, a surveyor for Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, was preparing line maps for the construction of future establishments in the area. Soon to follow were the Wainwrights, the Bellses, the Crawfords, the Smiths, the McCullums, the Rhudes, the Asselstines, and the Mutches. In 1955, E.G. Jarvis moved his family to Hardy and took up residence in one of the new homes in Hardy Heights. By this point, two apartment blocks had been completed and plans were under way for the expansion of the town over Fraser Hill.
In 1953 or 1954, the A. Earl Hodge Store was opened in one of the two-bedroom houses and its first manager was Joe Dumont. Prior to the establishment of the grocery store, residents of Hardy were forced to travel to Levack in order to purchase needed supplies. "Uncle Earl", as Mr. Hodge was affectionately known, implemented an arrangement with the Falconbridge Nickel Mine that allowed mine workers to have the cost of their purchase at the store deducted from their next paycheque. This system was of great value to the townspeople, especially when on-hand funds were running short.
The Hardy Mine was in full operation by 1953 and the demand for houses began to skyrocket as more and more men sought employment at the mine. By 1955, the town was well-established and the mine was thriving. However, government officials refused to view the town of Hardy as little more than a mining camp and would not provide government assistance or approval for various intended projects. Even the local school board refused to establish a public school in the community for fear that the settlement would soon be abandoned. Despite the negative reactions to their community, the residents of Hardy pushed forward and managed to succeed in building necessary additions and expansions.

Gun Owner Saws His AR-15 in Half After Parkland Shooting Tragedy
News 1:17 PM PST, February 20, 2018 - Inside Edition Staff
1:17 PM PST, February 20, 2018 - Inside Edition Staff
A gun owner was so horrified by the tragedy in Parkland, Fla., that he decided to saw his legally registered AR-15 in half.
The semi-automatic firearm is the same type of weapon Nikolas Cruz allegedly used to slaughter 17 people last week in Florida's deadliest school shooting.
Scott Pappalardo, who also has a second amendment tattoo on his arm, took to Facebook Sunday to make the announcement and post the clip of him cutting up the weapon.
His Facebook video, entitled, "My Drop in a Very Large Bucket," has been viewed nearly 18 million times. He says he made it with the goal of having "one less" of the devastating firearms in existence.
"I've decided today, I'm going to make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life," Pappalardo says in the video. "The barrel of this gun will never be pointed at someone. I mean, think about it. Is the right to own this weapon more important than someone's life?"
Kimberly and James Snead, who took in Cruz following the death of his mother in November, told CBS News they were aware he possessed weapons, but thought they were safely stored in a gun safe.
"I knew he had five or six [guns]; I didn't know what kind they were," James Snead said. "It didn't matter what kind of guns they were. I have guns. I respect guns as long as they're handled properly, safely. And one of the stipulations before moving in was to have a gun safe before he moved in."
When asked whether he thought it was acceptable for a 19-year-old to possess an AR-15, Snead said: "It's his right to have it."
Meanwhile, the crusade of survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School carnage continued Tuesday as hundreds of students boarded buses to Florida's capital of Tallahassee to demand stricter gun control legislation.
The students have also organized a march on Washington, which is set for next month.
George Clooney and his wife, Amal, announced Tuesday that they will join the march and will donate $500,000 in the names of their twins, Ella and Alexander, to the "March for Our Lives."
"Amal and I are so inspired by the courage and eloquence of these young men and women from Stoneman Douglas High School," the couple told USA Today in a statement. "Our family will be there on March 24 to stand side by side with this incredible generation of young people from all over the country."

Now Retink; Tavito Nanao Who?
I was handed WirelessGate Wi-Fi+WiMAX 2+ au 3-year smartphone discount (4,730 yen/month, data limitless) by Takayuki Yamada (pseudonym) who has a small patch of territory in an electronics retail store in Shinjuku. However, within a few month, I was at the end of my patience with its unbelievably low communication speed. Coincidently, I encountered Shibarinasi WiFi (3,300 yen/month, data limitless. 2,800 yen from 13th month. No penalty), which made me happy with its super high speed.
Today, I am going to feature Tavito Nanao, whose song was selected as the TV drama (assumption) based on the above story!!
The introduction part with vibraphone is already killing. To be honest, the chord progression is the same as the pattern of familiar urban songs with a sense of so-called city pop, not a very new to me. However, sound effects of echo, etc. in the latter part and freshness with new interpretation is very agreeable. While based on old, familiar sound, this is a sweet, sophisticated song with some twists.
What? Too long night? I can't, because I have already experienced "Going through this night, where shall we go?" with Daichi Miura. It is OK for Lucky Kilimanjaro who can go through the night of "his own." What does exactly "such a sizzling, hot, too-long night" mean, anyway? You mean it? Huh?
What a darkness! "I can't see it" x 3. A Love Torture??
These lyrics made a significant contrast with those of Daich Miura, who has undisguised cheefulness. I'm not sure but what kind of a woman (or man) who trys to break away with Tavito, a guy who can sing a song like this?? Of course I bet Tavito Nanao will get the next lover in seconds.
Who? Yamada Takayuki (real)? Does he looks like the actor maybe because I am still under the shadow of Takayuki Yamada (pseudonym)? Come on, calm myself. This is just "a video of a man who has a cheep, plastic umbrella with some Christmas illumination"!
BECAUSE SHE (OR HE) WANTS TO BELIEVE IN THE SPELL OF THE UMBRELLA MAN.
"This night, we have no chioice but leap." This phrase reminds me of "You should ABSOLUTELY choose 3-year commitment!," the words of Takayuki Yamada (pseudonym). Oh, please don't force me to make an instant decision. I just want to be freed (shibarinashi) from a communication contract and love!
A singer-songwriter born in 1979. After his debut in 1998, he released "900fantasia, "Little Melody," "Solder A" and other works. "Rollin' Rollin" and "Ciercus Night" became smash hits. His unique live performance is very memorable. He continues having great impact on Japanese alternative scene with his peculiar performances. An example is "Hyakunin Kumite (Fights with a hundred persons), where he did improvising with various performers without stopping. More than that, he pursuing his art of singing through his own approaches, such as a project by vocalists consists of beatboxers, a choir, animals and insects. By using DIYSTARS, a message delivery system, (Nanao has been involved in its development), he launched "DIY HEARTS The Great East Japan Earthquake Charity Project" as well as "DIY WORDS," an initiative to open up a distribution routes through works from deprived areas and disputed areas around the world.
In 1998, Nanao Tavio made his major debut from Sony Music, produced by Ginji Ito. He was only 18. I'll introduce two songs from his first album.
You can listen to part of the song at the site below.
The live performance uploaded on YouTube is so good.
Then, for many reasons, he moved from "major to an indie label" i.e. left Sony when he was 20. His talents might extend far beyond a traditional label. This seems to be a lucky for him as a result because he has been created a series of "legendary" unique activities since then. At the site below, you can check his recent "activities" which are sometimes out of the scope of music.
I'll pick up some of his attractive "activities"!
What a special team! That' truly amazing. Impressed with the power or sense to realize such as unusual session. This is pure non-genre-never-again-super-cross-boundary-performance. Yes, no other word but "performance." This video is enough to explain the free, flexible form of Tavito Nanao's art.
This is a great example of his diverse activities. He plays the "Solder A" who will be the first war dead mong the Self-Defense Forces. By this video, he impressed me not as a traditional "singer" but as a performer who "can sing" and a "poet" who can play.
Caution: No joke. This was a serious live concert for dogs. Humans were just following dogs. Please enjoy the video, bearing this in mind.
If we deliver streaming of the space with dogs from this place full of memories, maybe the audience dogs can be watched by his friends (dogs) in far places. This idea makes me excited.
For me, this is purely for an event for dog. So I was surprised a little when the label said "humans should be allowed to enter the venue," but I was able to understand what they said. As a result, I left the arrangement of the balance of the audience to my reliable staff.
He can sing extremely delicately, but hsi soft voice wraps a very sharp knife with a cynical, anarchistic perspective. Oh, please, don't jerk me off, Tavito, since that's too sweet.
Who? What kind of person he is?? As much as listening to his songs, we get confused by facing his diverse dimensions, each of which is uniquely attractive. He is a love-wizard, maybe a genius, a gentle solder, a singer for dogs, etc. We try, but "we cannot see him, cannot see him, cannot see him" completely, and, so, we can't take our eyes off him.

The Elephant Cafe, Victoria Falls, Livingstone Zambia
By Sean EdingtonJune 4, 2018The Elephant Cafe, Uncategorized, Vic Falls/Livingstone News, Zambia News
The Elephant Cafe' (Picture: Annie Little Photography)
Supporting a herd of ten rescued elephants and located on the banks of the Zambezi River, is Zambia's top gourmet wildlife experience "The Elephant Cafe".
A stunning combination of three exclusive experiences. An epic boat trip up the Zambezi River, an encounter with a rescue elephant herd and a gourmet meal in a salubrious setting. The Elephant Cafe' is a heartwarming bucket list activity, taking the region by storm.
Right on the banks of the Zambezi River, The Elephant Cafe' has the perfect setting for an awe-inspiring meal.
Getting to The Elephant Cafe'.
While you can choose to use a road transfer to access The Elephant Cafe'. By far the more preferred method is by boat. Trips depart the David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa Jetty.
Departure is from the David Livingstone Safari Lodge and Spa Jetty.
The Elephant Cafe's guests are treated to a thirty to forty-five-minute journey through the waterways of the "Mosi-oa-tunya" National Park.
The trip up to The Elephant Cafe' provides phenomenal bird and animal sightings. These are Egyptian Geese, uncharacteristically flying in a flock.
These river transfers are run by "Zambezi Expeditions". The owner of "Zambezi Expeditions" Daniel Watson drew off experience gained in Queenstown, New Zealand, in the jet boat industry. Shallow basalt rapids characterize this section and it was always deemed to be un-runnable. Along with his team of professional drivers, Dan has pioneered commercial routes up to The Elephant Cafe'.
The transfers are the first commercial boat use, of that section of the park.
Hippo's are often seen on the trip up to The Elephant Cafe. Fiercely territorial, the general rule of thumb is to give them access to the deep water should they feel the need to move away from the boat.
On the boat expedition, guests can expect to see a variety of river-dwelling wildlife. Sightings of Hippo, Nile crocodile and a huge range of birdlife are common.
Added to this wild aspect is the excitement of being on the Zambezi River, tackling the class-2 rapids.
Expect to get lightly splashed but not drenched.
Guests going up one of the small rapids en-route to The Elephant Cafe.
The Elephant Cafe' herd.
The raison d'être for the existence of the elephant cafe'. "The Elephant Cafe's" ten rescued African Elephants.
The Elephant herd is made up of an eclectic group of African Elephants. The elephants all have varied, intriguing and different backstories. Together they make a tightly knit though unusual family herd. Complete with a variety of foibles and fascinating nuances.
Unusual in the sense that the herd is comprised of breeding age females, playful youngsters, mature and immature bulls. Whereas in the wild, you wouldn't usually see this configuration of animals. In the wild old mature males tend to be solitary, while young bulls tend to gather in small bachelor herds. The females and youngsters tend to stick together in family structured breeding herds, led by a matriarch.
On arrival at The Elephant Cafe' guests are met by the herd. Guests then have the opportunity to interact and photograph the elephants in a reward based interaction. On hand are the elephant experts to dispense information, answer questions and provide insights into the herd's behaviour.
Guests are invited to interact with the elephant herd. The elephants really enjoy this, almost as much as The Elephant Cafe's guests.
The below brief descriptions of The Elephant Cafe' herd, present merely the tip of the iceberg with these magnificent animals, with regard to their habits and stories. You will have to visit to hear more.
The Elephant Cafe's "Bop" and "Danny".
"Bop" and "Danny" are the two mature bulls in the herd. "Danny" though younger and smaller in body size than "Bop", is the dominant male.
"Bop" is a mellow old man, estimated to be about sixty-five years old.
"Bop" on his way up to The Elephant Cafe', he does interact with guests on occasion but seems to prefer being in the background.
Due to a crack in his left tusk, "Bop" has had his tusks cut by the vet. If the crack had been left unattended the extremely sensitive nerve would have been exposed. An elephant root canal, though it has been done, is a risky and cumbersome procedure. In this case, prevention was definitely better than cure. Interestingly, one-third of the tusk is actually within the lip of the elephant, what we see is only two-thirds of the actual tusk.
Anthony examines "Bop's" split tusk, you can see it on the far tusk in this picture. It used to run all the way from the tip of his tusk but looks to have stopped well before the sensitive nerve.
"Danny" has a very distinctive and huge set of ivory. He is thought to be about fifty-five years old. Both of the bulls were rescued from culling operations in Zimbabwe in the 1960's.
Danny has a very large and significant set of Ivory, easily identifying him from "Bop". He is also slightly smaller in body size.
"Bop" and "Danni" are perhaps the first generation of rescued African elephants. The two were raised by the late legendary conservationist Clem Coetzee.
Members of the Coetzee family still come and visit these old boys from time to time today.
The Elephant Cafe's "Madinda", "Mashumbi", "Marula" and "Lewa".
These animals are the second generation of rescue elephants. Estimated to all be in their thirties, they were rescued as calves from the severe El Nino droughts of the late 1980's.
"Marula" is a young bull and "Lewa" is a young sexually mature female. The two were rescued together and have been lifelong companions. "Lewa" likes to rumble and talk and is often seen close to "Marula".
"Lewa" interacting with clients, she is very fond of people, probably as she was bottle fed as a calf.
"Marula" is a very affectionate Elephant, in part because he and "Lewa" were bottle fed as calves. "Marula" is often seen with the calves who find him comforting, especially the orphan "Sekuti".
"Madinda" is a young bull who during the droughts was rescued from a predator attack. He has half a tail and a missing portion of his ear from that encounter. Madinda is delightfully playful and many a guest has a story of "Madinda", the dancing Elephant.
"Mashumbi" is the herd's matriarch and leader. She is also the survivor of a predator attack and is missing the tip of her tail. One of our favorite stories is her elopement. She disappeared with a bachelor herd for 18 months. Returning to The Elephant Cafe' pregnant…with her typical nonchalant lack of fuss.
"Mashumbi" is easily recognizable from her missing tail, when she was a calf she was attacked by predators after being left by her herd.
While elephants are exceptionally social and the family units are close-knit. In times of drought or danger, it is not uncommon for the herd to move rapidly and cover big distances. Reaching food and water is a priority and young calves get left behind as the herd moves rapidly for survival. The calve's mother will usually move back and forth between the calf and the herd, urging the calf to keep up, however, this distance can become vast and the mother is forced to leave her calf behind.
The Elephant Cafe's "Nandi", "Nyami", "Muyuni" and "Sekuti"
Mashumbi and her calf Muyuni.
These four are the youngsters of the herd, sexually immature sub-adults and calves. "Nandi","Nyami" and "Muyuni" in order of age, are the offspring of "Mashumbi" and "Lewa" sired by "Bop".
"Muyuni", a very affectionate young Elephant.
"Nandi" at eleven is the oldest, "Nyami" and "Muyuni" are a year apart born in 2013 and 2014. Since 2014 with advancements in prophylactic safety and administration, the herd is on birth control, to avoid any more captive births.
"Sekuti" arrived before "Nyami" and "Muyuni" were born, he followed the herd into the Elephant Cafe' from one of the surrounding islands the herd likes to frequent. "Nandi" instantly became infatuated with the young bull calf. She is his protector and while at night he likes to be near "Marula", during the day "Sekuti" and "Nandi" are nearly always together.
Desperate attempts to locate "Sekuti's" herd proved futile and he has been a part of The Elephant Cafe' crew ever since.

How, or perhaps, Where, would the 2 ends of this rope join up?
If you would like to contribute at a grass-roots level in any amount toward Richard's efforts, you can always do so via PayPal directly by visiting his PayPal.Me page, at: https://www.paypal.me/OfficialRichard
(All Verified Accounts to contribute will be short-listed and notified to be the first informed at launch of Doyle Industries' Pilot Product, detail on which can be found here)
Doyle Industries' pilot product will comprise a miniature power transducer without precedent — closed-looped, fully redundant in both design and functionality — grid-independent and peer-to-peer. Our aim is first and foremost to bring such a convenience to as many people as is possible, so they might all begin to appreciate the emergent implications of such a new technology, and how relatable a positive difference to their lives something that is new, can be.
Much is riding on this, and not merely for a highly poised startup. So naturally, we've gone to cruel and unusual lengths to seriously think about, and conclude, the most efficient form factor to achieve this pivotal aim.
It is, rather obviously, as a plug-in accessory form factor — or even, as necessary, a new telecommunications fabric standing alone entirely — for most all consumer, commercial, enterprise, industrial, medical, fintech and governmental electronics products and services at market both now and going forward, that we have found the most appropriate niche to get the globe talking.
Ha?
Such a route may be thought of as circuitous by many — after all, if we're saying what you might think we're saying wouldn't it make a lot more sense just to go big or go home? No: In addition to Doyle Industries' pilot product being an end in itself, it's also a means to something greater — a stepping stone to raise adoption and uptake of something (considerably) grander, by raising an awareness of "how" this thing billions of people can subscribe to and carry about, is doing what it does.

Helping the Homeless. A Very Motivational Story with Sam Sawchuk
🦈 Resources
Contribute to Future Sharks 🌊
Alejandro Rioja
Sam Sawchuk is the co-founder of Sandwich for a Story, an initiative which focuses on using Virtual Reality as a tool to help immerse people coping with homelessness in job interview settings. Sam is also a TEDx speaker, startup advisor and contributor to major publications including the Huffington Post, Thrive Global, Influencive, HustleTime and Startups.co.
Thanks for being here Sam. Tell us, what sparked Sandwich for a Story?
Sandwich for a Story began four years ago when I was eighteen years old living in Vancouver. This was my first escape away from home, and I spent my summer internship working for a tech firm that built applications that were revolutionizing the health industry — It was an incredible experience being on the forefront of this innovation, but everyday, as I walked home from work, noticed that there was part of society that experienced a far greater disconnect.
Our story began on June 13th, 2013, when we decided to take a very human-centered approach to finding our next project — We knew we wanted to help empower people and change perspectives and that Vancouver had an extremely well documented homeless problem, but we had no idea what these people were really facing. Human-centered design is such a big component of the design thinking approach these days, but I don't know how you can solve a problem without talking to people. Why is that so novel these days?
There we were a few minutes later sitting on the sidewalk with our new friend Jeremy talking about his life and some of the struggles that he had faced up to this point — one of the most apparent challenges that he identified was that people never gave him the chance to tell his story, simply choosing to walk by him and never look him in the eye.
Evan and I took a small individual risk that day to reach out and say hello and we are proud to say that to this day, over four-thousands smiles, sandwiches and hellos have been given out by Sandwich for a Story volunteers and those who have been inspired by the cause.
Our friend Jeremy left us with a quote that day that inspired our work to this day…
"Strangers are just friends that we have never met before."
Sandwich for a Story has spent the last four years engaging with students, companies and other non-profit organizations to inspire them to reach out to those in their communities who are dealing with homelessness. By connecting passionate people with those in their community, Sandwich for a Story has been able to show the homeless side of homelessness to thousands of people through social media, and inspire many young students that in many cases those without a home are not much different that us. Today, Sandwich for a Story is in the early stages of a pilot focused on interview preparation through our unique mentorship program built around immersive interview preparation using virtual reality. What does that mean? We work with employers in the construction, warehousing, and trades industries and film their existing interview process using 360-video. We bring that experience to those in our seminars and offer a variety of coaching in order to inspire confidence and improve employment outcomes.
What has been your biggest obstacle with Sandwich for a Story? How did you overcome it?
One of our biggest challenges that we initially faced with Sandwich for a Story was generating publicity for the idea. A good idea means nothing at all if no one knows about it. We had this notion that it would our idea would catch fire and change people's perspectives around the globe… and guess what! It didn't happen. This discouraged us and caused us to take about a year off from the project.
When I got back to school the next semester I said you know what I am going to reach to do a bunch of different media outlets and tell our story… it wasn't anything that had a massive reach or incredible impact at the time … It was a story built on the human connection.
The number one tip I would give anyone who is trying to generate publicity for their venture is that media outlets are looking to learn about your struggle, so be authentic. Where were you? What have you overcome? Where are you know? And how have you inspired others based on those experiences?
What do you envision Sandwich for a Story becoming in the next 2-3 years?
Sandwich for a Story has the vision to connect employers in the trades, construction and warehousing industries in Canada with those with those who possess skills and passion in the homeless community. By leveraging bleeding edge technologies to simulate the interview experience, Sandwich for a Story hopes to improve employment outcomes and confidence for those in this marginalized community.
What is a skill that you possess that gives you an edge?
I think our team has a really unique blend of talent — having spent much of my career in the technology space, I have a variety of different technical, marketing and analytical skills, but I think many people have these skills to be quite honest. If I hadn't taken on this initiative with my co-founder Evan Beck, I would have never developed these raw empathetic skills and engagement strategies. Technology is great… but think about the number of times you are sitting at the dinner table and the person across from you is on their phone — disengaged. As a society, we have forgotten how to connect with humans and sometimes it is important that we remember the simplest initiatives have the power to spur a movement — a smile, a hand, and a hello.
My co-founder Evan was the one who spurred me to even consider getting into the social entrepreneurship space. He has professional experience working closely on these issues with international students, homeless individuals in Canada and impoverished populations in Uganda.
Do you use any software tools or websites that you recommend?
Some of the most effective tools that we have used are Tilt and then Facebook, as our predominant social channel. I have heard from many friends lately that they want to get off Facebook. It's space filled with politics, banter and endless opinions, but the way we saw it was a way to take the human connection that we created on the streets and bring it to the masses.
Tilt, which is a crowdfunding platform, has also been an excellent tool in enacting some of our one-off crowdfunding campaigns to assist those who are coping with homeless. Through our work we helped one man in Victoria, BC named Ken to collect the funding he needed to assist him with his medical conditions, and also crowdfunded warm clothing for Calgarians to deal with our brutally cold winters.
In business, it seems like everyone is simply looking after themselves, how can you build empathy?
I think this change really has to start from a foundation of curiosity — when you put yourself in a position where you are willing to learn about others, different ventures and ways of achieving success, it is the first step to eliminating this wall that many people put up when they are confronted with a new or different opinion.
We must be eternal learners who are willing to engage with the world around us — we must ask first before we build — and must take a human-centered approach to solving some of the world's toughest challenges. Where does this human-centered approach begin? With a simple hello.
Why is giving back important? How can people at all socio-economical levels give back?
This year we asked a large group our friends and family what they would do if they found out one of their friends was homeless and had no place to sleep.
From Calgary to Costa Rica to Melbourne, to Glasgow people responded…
"I would offer them my couch and definitely make them dinner"
"I would tell them the system has failed you and society have turned it's back on you, but I refuse to let you fail. My home is your home."
"I would offer them a place to stay until they got back on their feet"
"I would tell them you can move in with us. We don't have extra room, so you can share mine!"
Sandwich for a Story asked people in Calgary, Canada about their dream jobs.
Mark from Victoria told us he just wanted to drink coffee in the morning, talk with the neighbors and watch TV. Simply, he wanted to return to his normal life, one that he was not capable of living due to his financial situation.
The energy of compassion can be our strongest tool in giving people back the sense of dignity they deserve, a smile, a handle a hello. A reminder that even if you cannot give monetarily we all have something within ourselves to give.
In a world where people have become so defensive and judgemental, a simple hello and a smile have the power to truly empower people. Why? Because it isn't the norm in our society anymore. Don't worry about changing the way others act, but set an example to those around you starting with kindness.
That's Sam Sawchuk folks. He's very charismatic and always down to lend a hand to anyone that needs it. I don't know about you but his story today inspired me to go out of my way and ask a complete stranger how their day was going and created a connection between us. Being there for people that need you is important and I am glad Sam is taking the initiative and leading the way to creating socially conscious businesses.

This pilot project was designed to take the Digital Revolution's emergence as an occasion to face important questions about the future and to focus these inquiries on the nexus of ART, TECHNOLOGY and SOCIETY. With this philosophy—which remains Ars Electronica's watchwords to this day—HANNES LEOPOLDSEDER, then director of the ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company's Upper Austria Regional Studio, electronic musician HUBERT BOGNERMAYR, cyberneticist/physicist HERBERT W. FRANKE and music producer ULRICH RÜTZEL laid the cornerstone for the ongoing success of this extraordinary undertaking.
This Linz event soon developed into one of the world's most important media art festivals. The program featured symposia, exhibitions, performances, interventions and concerts, each successive biennial production more multifaceted than the one before. Since 1986, the festival has been held annually and dedicated to a specific theme. The organizers are also constantly on the lookout for interesting new venues—indeed, the consistent effort to break out of the narrow confines of conventional conference rooms and artistic spaces, and to stage cultural and scientific encounters in the public sphere has become something of a trademark of Ars Electronica. Linz Harbor, a network of subterranean tunnels, a monastery and a tobacco processing plant have been among the settings of this festival that defines itself as a confrontation with prevailing circumstances and amidst them.
In 1979, the festival lineup was a short list: 20 artists and scientists. Three decades later, several hundred network nomads, theoreticians, artists and technologists from all over the world convene in Linz each year, and about 550 journalists and bloggers report from the Ars Electronica venue. Key contributors to the festival's incomparable spirit are the approximately 35,000 annual visitors—a colorful mix of old friends and new faces.
Festival Ars Electronica 2012 is about the Big Picture, different perspectives, the combination of art and science, the joint solutions for the challenges of the future. Find the festival's website here.

Emotion Technology, Wearables, and Surprises
Rosalind Picard - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
Years ago, I set out to create technology with emotional intelligence, demonstrating the ability to sense, recognize, and respond intelligently to human emotion. At MIT, we designed studies and developed signal processing and machine learning techniques to see what affective insights could be reliably obtained. In this talk I will highlight the most surprising findings during this adventure. These include new insights about the "true smile of happiness," discovering new ways cameras (and your smartphone, even in your handbag) can compute your bio-signals without using any new sensors, finding electrical signals on the wrist that reveal insight into deep brain activity, and learning surprising implications of wearable sensing for autism, anxiety, sleep, memory, epilepsy, and more. What is the grand challenge we aim to solve next?
Biography: Rosalind Picard, ScD, FIEEE is founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at the MIT Media Laboratory, co-founder of Affectiva, providing emotional intelligence technology used by 1/3 of the Global Fortune 100, and co-founder and Chief Scientist of Empatica, improving lives with clinical-quality wearable sensors and analytics. Picard is the author of over 250 articles in computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, signal processing, affective computing, and human-computer interaction. She is known internationally for her book, Affective Computing, which helped launch the field by that name. Picard holds bachelors in Electrical Engineering (EE) from Georgia Tech and Masters and Doctorate degrees in EE and CS from MIT. Picard's inventions have been twice named to "top ten" lists, including the New York Times Magazine's Best Ideas of 2006 for the Social Cue Reader, and 2011's Popular Science Top Ten Inventions for a Mirror that Monitors Vital Signs. CNN named her in 2015 one of seven "Tech Superheroes to Watch." Picard's lab at MIT develops technologies to better understand, predict, and regulate emotion, with applications aimed at helping people with autism, epilepsy, depression/anxiety, addiction, and chronic pain.


India needs to use this opportunity to step up the game. Government support is critical.
On top of that, government officials get huge sums as car fuel allowance. If they take these vehicles, they cannot claim fuel expenses," said the executive, requesting anonymity.

Transylvania International Film Festival
May 25, 2018 @ 8:00 am - June 3, 2018 @ 5:00 pm CEST
« Latitude59 Technology Conference
InfiniTIFF Innovation Summit »
Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF), presented by Romanian Film Promotion, is the first and the biggest international feature film festival in Romania.
Founded in 2002, in the town of Cluj-Napoca, Transilvania IFF has grown rapidly to become the most important film-related event in Romania and one of the most spectacular annual events in the region. It is a member of the Alliance of Central and Eastern European Film Festivals (CENTEAST) and it is supported by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme. In 2011, Transilvania IFF was accredited by the FIAPF, which places it among the 40 most important festivals in the world.
Transilvania IFF's main goal is the promotion of cinematic art by presenting some of the most innovative and spectacular films of the moment that feature both originality and independence of expression, that reflect unusual cinematic language forms or focus on current trends in youth culture. Dedicated to 1st and 2nd time directors, the Official Competition focuses on discovering new voices.
The Transilvania IFF experience means an exciting and intriguing selection, picturesque locations such as castles or open air museums, cine-concerts in churches, educational platforms for young audiences, solid industry programs, and a consistent focus on the future of audio-visual content.
Over the years, Transilvania IFF's Lifetime Achievement Award has been presented to important figures of European and worldwide cinema, including Alain Delon, Sophia Loren, Fanny Ardant, Nastassja Kinski, Jiří Menzel, Debra Winger, Claude Lelouch, Geraldine Chaplin, Wim Wenders, Marin Karmitz, Jacqueline Bisset, Michael York, Catherine Deneuve, Claudia Cardinale, Annie Girardot, Udo Kier, Vanessa Redgrave, Nicolas Roeg and Franco Nero.
TIFF Industry
After years of continuous work in promoting Romanian cinema and welcoming international guests to meet national productions and their filmmakers, in 2015, the festival rounded up its industry activities under one umbrella. TIFF Industry is open for talents from the region through Transilvania Pitch Stop (TPS) – a tailor made workshop for feature fiction films wrapping up with a public presentation and one to one meetings, and Transilvania Talent Lab (TTL) – the hands-on programme dedicated to emerging talents. TIFF Industry hosts a series of masterclasses, lining-up experts in audience development and script writing, and organizes closed screenings for industry members and special screenings of the newest Romanian films, in the presence of filmmakers.
Transilvania IFF is a project partner of LIM (Less Is More), the European platform for project development of limited budget feature films created by Le Groupe Ouest. Previously, the festival hosted the launch of the new platform #FEEDback (Film Eastern Europe Dialogue, 2015) and regional editions of The Pitch, in partnership with ShortsTV.
The festival also developed a strong educational platform for children, through EducaTIFF (awarded Best Educational Project in Romania, at Education Awards Gala, 2011 edition), and teenagers, through Let's Go Digital! The intensive workshop gives teenagers the opportunity to cover all the steps of filmmaking under the supervision of film professionals and using modern equipment.
TIFF Unlimited
Unlimited.tiff.ro, launched in 2019, is the first streaming service (SVoD) launched by a film festival in Romania and the only product of its kind in Central and Eastern Europe. The platform gives access to acclaimed auteur driven productions, arthouse gems, genre films.
InfiniTIFF
The festival has initiated a platform for new forms of audio-visual storytelling that connects cinema lovers and artists with cutting edge
development in virtual reality and interactive cinema.

Wheaton alumna pushes for democratic rights abroad
By Alex Butcher-Nesbitt on March 26, 2013
Since graduating from Wheaton College, Rose Jackson '06 has worked in some of the most violent regions in the world. Serving as a staffer for various U.S. political campaigns in her "time off," Jackson has spent most of her time working for organizations on the ground in politically torn nations in Africa, gaining an understanding of the cultural and political tides in these countries in order to help support democracy promotion and enhance access to political rights.
Jackson initially worked with the National Democratic Institute (NDI), an international organization that works in numerous countries around the world to support democratic structures and help their operation.
"[I was doing] everything from working with local women's organizations that were trying to get the government to provide support for women's rights and access to legal recourse, to working with the parliament in Uganda on how to set up better structures and resource functions," said Jackson. "I got exposure to . . . fascinating places and people."
Several years later, Jackson applied for a Rotary Scholarship, spending two years in Kenya, working on a Master's Degree while also aiding election efforts in Uganda and political development in Somalia, as her focus shifted away from the challenges surrounding development and democracy promotion, and towards a more security-minded approach.
"I became increasingly interested in . . . counter-radicalization, which is . . . essentially the political side of counter-terrorism. In places that have a terrorist or destabilizing threat, looking at what you can do to both stabilize the region and provide peaceful outlets of expression for people. Which is fun!" she added, grinning.
During her Master's program, Jackson had the opportunity to take a semester and do anything she wanted — a rare opportunity for someone farther along in her career. She became fascinated with the political sentiment of radical democratic change in North Africa.
"What we were looking at in North Africa was the opportunity for fresh systems, the complete overthrow of government, people willing to put their lives on the line for the opportunity to vote, to choose their leaders, to express themselves freely," said Jackson. That enthusiasm for such change, she says, struck her interest, and at this point in our conversation came the bombshell remark.
"So, I decided to go to Libya, and I got there two weeks before Gadhafi fell."
And so, in the waning weeks of the Libyan Revolution and its immediate aftermath, Jackson worked on the ground in Libya, conducting research and political analysis surrounding rebel factions and political sentiment.
She used this information to support the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which evacuated hundreds of thousands of at-risk migrant workers to remove them from threatening areas.
"They dropped me in the middle of Libya and they said, provide us regular updates, political analysis, do profiles on who are the major power centers, who's important, what are flash points, [and whether we] can . . . predict where conflicts might exist," she explained.
"I got there before it had devolved into mass chaos, before these groups had splintered off into [what are] now turning into . . . organized criminal networks; [It was] a time when people were thankful to the United States for its help, and so I could pretty freely wander around the country and ask people questions."
Due to this dynamic, the region was largely secure by the time she arrived. But when asked about the inherent danger of working in these regions, Jackson was careful to warn against romanticizing it.
"You have to be able to answer the question . . . is the work you're doing worth your life?" she said. "You have to confront that harshest, most intense angle of it, because were you to find yourself . . . in the middle of a firefight or kidnapped . . . would you feel that that effort was worth the greater good, that to you it was worth your life? And if you can't answer 'yes' to it, you shouldn't be in those places."
Jackson explained that the Libyan rebels took a continuous approach during the revolution by taking one town at a time, and because they held these towns once they had been taken, such a process added to the stability.
"With the exception of . . . one or two towns on either side of where the fighting was at that moment, you were safe and stable," she said. "When I landed in Benghazi, with the exception of a few buildings with a giant hole through it or occasional pockmarks of bullets, you couldn't tell there had been any sort of revolution."
"You would come to a coffee shop and a guy would drive up in a truck that had an anti-aircraft gun . . . welded to the back and he would park his car, get out, get his coffee and get back in – that was his vehicle, they had just retrofitted it for the fight," Jackson recounted. "[In] moments like those you were very cognizant that you were in a war zone, but the rest of the time people were out buying clothes and eating food and drinking coffee and trying to put their city back together," she added.
Jackson's work continued after the fighting had largely ended, but she explained that her work was eased by being in the right place at the right time.
"You had a cohesion among all these different militias and groups unified against Gadhafi," she said. "And so even for the three months that I was there after the revolution, there was still enough cohesion because you were in the initial transition phase where they were choosing a transitional government and a new cabinet, and negotiating official positions for the militia groups."
Jackson said she will officially switch to the foreign-focused world in the future, but she values her political experience in the United States as well, which makes her relevant through advising aspiring office-holders and democracy builders in developing countries.
She adds that in her shift to the security sector, the best way to understand and eliminate threats to our national security is to understand the political dynamics behind the regions she has been researching.
"Sometimes the best conflict resolution can come through a variety of political actions and creative programs more than . . . kinetic action [such as] big raids [and] explosions," said Jackson. "So that's [what] I'm kind of moving towards."
Letter from the Editor Week 6 Spring 2013
Vincent '16: Why are college students not sleeping enough?


Gary Alexander will take over as Ashford United boss at the end of the season.
Alexander joined the club as assistant manager to Jason Whitmore last week but he's set to assume control of first-team affairs in the summer.
The 38-year-old made a couple of appearances for Chatham Town after quitting as Greenwich Borough manager but a phone call from Whitmore opened the door for a quick return to the dugout.
Alexander said: "I had a chat with Jason and liked what I heard with the ambition and things like that.
"Jason was open in terms of where he stands at the club, his role and what he wants to do going forward.
"Jason wants to go upstairs to structure the club in a certain way, make the club better. He wants to give me the reins and hopefully, come the end of the season, he's true to his word.
"I'll take over, bring my assistant in and work closely with Jason because he's a big part of Ashford United and what they want to do.
"I wanted to get back into management as soon as possible and Jason's given me that opportunity. He'll get every minute of my time to change the fortunes of Ashford."
Alexander has effectively swapped jobs with Paul Barnes, who was appointed Greenwich's new manager on Wednesday.
Whitmore said: "With Barnesy gone, that's a loss, but I think Gary brings the complete package, someone who's proven and has already done it.
"I was looking for the right person that could allow me to step upstairs and carry on what I'm doing. I won't be gone, I'll be heavily involved and when it comes to decisions about players, we'll do it together but I don't need to be in the dugout.
"That doesn't bother me, it's not about that. For me, it's about Ashford United Football Club.
"What can we do to take it to the next level? If that means I put Gary there and I step back and help from behind the scenes, to make sure the club is sustainable, so be it."
Read more from Gary Alexander in the Kentish Express on Thursday.


Your first €10 back will be paid once you have bet a total of €10 through your new Tote account.After your 10th bet we will refund you the average value of your first 10 bets up to a maximum of €40.Payment will be made the next working day and will be deposited into your Tote account. Full T&CS apply.
If you are unfamiliar with Tote Betting, the Punchestown Festival offers a great opportunity to discover the value Tote can offer above the bookmakers.
A Win Bet is a Win Bet!
With the Bookmakers, you take a fixed price while with Tote you take a share in the pool meaning you cannot be 100% sure of your final payout until the winner is declared. Generally Tote tends to be close to the bookies price for short priced horses and much better on longer shots. For example, in the 2017 Punchestown Champion Hurdle Tote paid €15.20 for €1, compared to the SP of 12/1.
On one race (Killashee H'Cap Hurdle), Tote paid a huge 52% more than SP!
This year Tote will make up the difference on any Win Bets of €10 to €100 if the Tote Price falls short of the SP price. That means over the course of the Punchestown, punters will earn more by betting with Tote.
Place only betting is available with Tote for all racing!
Picking the horses to come 1st and 2nd (Exacta) or 1st, 2nd and 3rd (Trifecta).
These bets can be played in a variety of combinations and offer some large payouts. The Trifecta paid as much as €6344 for €1 on a single race in Punchestown 2017 (the Tricast paid €3891 on the same race).
The unique Tote bets with really big opportunities to win. These bets will see big daily guarantees and likely some very big rollovers if not won.
These bets require some strategy as you build your selections to get through the 6 (Pick 6 & Placepot) or 4 (Jackpot) legs of the bet. It can be well worth it though, on Day 1 of Punchestown 2017 the Pick 6 paid a staggering €90k for a €1 stake! While on the same day, the Jackpot paid €5,811 for €1.
Tote will match the SP price, if it is greater than the Tote Price, on Win Bets from €10 to €100. See thetote.com for Terms.
Win – The easiest bet to play – pick the horse you think will win the race!
Place – The aim is to select a horse to be placed in a race.
Each Way – A Win Bet and a Place Bet combined on the same horse.
Exacta – Pick the horses to finish 1st and 2nd in the correct order in any race with three or more runners.
Trifecta – Pick the horses to come 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the correct order in any race with three or more runners.
Jackpot – Pick the horses to Win Races 3, 4, 5 & 6 to play the Tote Jackpot!
Placepot – Pick the horses to Place in all 6 of the Placepot races.
Pick 6 – Pick the horses to Win in Races 1 to 6 in the Pick 6 Race for a chance to Win Big.

How on earth is it the last day of February?
Actually, part of me definitely believes it: winter in Minnesota gets LONG. I'm more than ready for spring.
If you are wondering where I've been the last few weeks, I don't blame you-- I've been a bit absent from the blog!
I started a new another part-time job last month-- writing/reporting for a local paper. I wasn't necessarily planning to take on more work right at this moment, but it was one of those times things fell into place, and it happened quickly. I decided to get my foot in the door and see how it goes.
5 years in, "Frantic Mama" still fits!
That said, if I thought I was busy before, whew! I'm really busy now. Every second of my daughter's preschool time is used wisely. It goes by in a flash.
Right now, I'm clearly focused on family and work. I simply cannot add a bunch of social things to the mix right now. If I did, I know I would start to feel way too stretched, and we all know the saying "happy wife/happy life." If I get too stretched, I am not a happy person/wife/mother.
Prioritizing when you have children is more important than ever. I want to look back at this time of my life and think I gave my all to my family and my career. Friends are important, and I am lucky to have some (hopefully) understanding ones during this busy period, but this is where I am right now.
How about you? Which of those three do you prioritize? How do you do it?
