Leave a Comment on Arrival
After my viewing of "Arrival," I have a message to the people behind some of the worst Sci-Fi movies of the new decade (Roland Emmerich-creator of "Independence Day: Resurgence"-and the Wachowskis-creators of "Jupiter Ascending"): "Now that's a Sci-Fi movie."
"Arrival" is the smartest, best looking, and best acted Sci-Fi movie I've seen all year long. It doesn't rely on wall-to-wall CGI effects or poor character development; it is the exact opposite of that. The main characters are studied, the aliens (heptapods) are visually stunning, and the language studying is intelligent. This was all crafted by the same director, who gave Hugh Jackman anger and precision in "Prisoners" and represented the violence of drug cartels in "Sicario." And that man is none other than Denis Vileneuve.
Amy Adams gives one of her best performances as linguist Louise Banks, who wonders if her story has a beginning or end, after the passing of her young daughter, and the arrival of ships, who levitate in various countries around the globe. Both she and mathematician Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner-Adams' "American Hustle" co-star) are recruited by Colonel Webber (Forrest Whitaker) to come to the military base camp, and arrive on one of the spacecrafts to study their language. Louise manages to crack their codes, even if it means reflecting on her daughter's childhood, and learns that China and a few other countries are prompting to wage war against the aliens.
Many critics compare this film to Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and they are right to do so. Both these films have the kind of narrative, characters, and aliens that most Sci-Fi movies these days try to craft. There have been exceptions like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" or the "Star Trek" reboots, but "Arrival" gives the finger to "Independence Day: Resurgence" and "Jupiter Ascending." There is absolutely nothing boring and generic about this picture.
Adams continues to transcend from one genre to the next, and her role here is perfect. Renner (without the bow and arrow) amazes you as the mathematician, and you will be surprised about his character later on. Whitaker is astounding as the general with his dialogue and acting. And the supporting roles from Michael Stuhlbarg (as an agent) and Tzi Ma (as a Chinese general) never condescend. This is a dream cast I am seeing, and "Arrival" is one of the year's best films.

Physiological Action—In its influence upon the nervous system, this agent has stimulating properties in part analogous to those of strychnine. Its influence is more slowly developed and more permanent. In extreme doses it blunts the sensibility of the terminal nerve filaments, and convulsions have resulted from its use.
It stimulates the respiration and circulation, imparting tone and increased power to the heart's action, increasing arterial tension and capillary blood pressure. It influences blood stasis similarly to ergot and belladonna.
The tone imparted to the muscular structure of the heart differs from that imparted by strychnine in being permanent and not spasmodic or intermittent in character. It influences muscular structure everywhere in the system in the same manner. It stimulates normal fibrillar contractility and increased tonus, encouraging the nutrition of muscular structure. It inhibits the development of superfluous muscular tissue and abnormal growth within that structure. It is thus most valuable in altered conditions of the heart muscle.
In its influence upon the gastro-intestinal tract it is tonic, restorative and soothing in its action. It promotes the appetite, increases the secretion of the gastric and intestinal juices and conduces to a restoration of the normal condition. It increases peristaltic action and general muscular tonus in the structure of walls of the stomach and intestines.
The alkaloids have been given in sufficient quantities to produce death in the lower animals in experimental investigation, but it cannot be considered toxic in medicinal doses. It produces convulsive action, followed by decreased irritability of the vagus, the blood pressure is suddenly decreased and the heart fails in diastole.
Its elimination is comparatively active and is largely accomplished through the kidneys.
Therapy—In its therapeutic influence its widest range of action is upon the stomach, in functional disorders of that organ. It is the most natural of stimulants to the normal function of digestion. Its influence upon the mucous surfaces renders it most important in catarrhal gastritis and gastric ulceration. It supersedes all known remedies as a local, and also as a constitutional tonic when this condition is present.
In administering this remedy, if there be irritation, the fluid and less bulky preparations are preferable. If there be marked atonicity with inactivity of the stomach and lack of nerve sensibility, the powdered drug in five grain doses is the most useful. This increases the tone, reduces abnormal secretion, stimulates normal excretion, promotes the appetite and increases the quantity of the digestive juices, and thus favors the digestion. It is most excellent in indigestion—in such cases, acting in a more rational manner than the digestives which have no influence beyond that immediately exercised upon the food within the stomach.
In extremely irritable conditions a solution which contains one or two drops of the specific hydrastis, or the colorless hydrastis, or in extreme cases the one-twelfth to the one-fourth of a grain of the sulphate of hydrastine or of the hydrochlorate of hydrastine is preferable to large doses of hydrastine or the powdered hydrastis. In some cases powders, or the precipitated principle, will irritate the stomach, producing weight, distress or even mild pain if the stomach is empty. In such cases it is best given after a little food has been taken, or in conjunction with the subnitrate, or the oxide of bismuth, or with a digestive if the stomach contains food.
In those cases of atonic dyspepsia, where the entire apparatus, including the liver, is stagnant and inoperative, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of the fluid hydrastis or of the colorless hydrastis dissolved in water will restore a normal condition of the glands and oil the entire mucous membranes.
The agent relieves the chronic constipation of plethora or muscular inactivity in relaxed, inactive, feeble cases. Its influence is encouraged by combination with nux vomica. It overcomes hepatic congestion in such cases and catarrh of the gall ducts. It may be combined with podophyllum, leptandra or iris.
It is a most superior remedy in the atonic conditions of these organs in chronic alcoholism., and if combined with large doses of capsicum and with forced nutrition, will in great part supply the demand for alcoholics and assist in the cure of the disease. It acts as strychnine does in the cure, and may be most beneficially given in combination with that agent.
The tonic and nerve strengthening properties of this agent have long been utilized by the writer in all cases of general debility and nerve prostration, especially if associated with the conditions of the digestive and assimilative organs named. It is an admirable restorative tonic. It is demanded in convalescence from protracted fevers and debilitating inflammation, and as a general restorative after overwork, in the condition known as a complete "breaking down."
The usual manner of prescribing it is to give a grain of hydrastine, two grains of the bisulphate of quinine, one grain of the carbonate of iron and one-fourth of a grain of capsicum in a capsule every three hours, after eating something simple, that the stomach may not be entirely empty. The improvement is remarked by the patient usually from the first. It is a simple tonic, but has no superior. In some plainly indicated cases, the quinine salt may be replaced with one-fourth of a grain of nux vomica.
The influence of the agent is certainly direct upon the central nervous system, promoting a normal circulation and increasing its nutrition. It will yet be found applicable in the treatment of cerebral engorgements of a chronic character, and in the treatment of hyperaemia of those organs, in the cases in which ergot is used.
It is valuable in from one-fourth to one-half teaspoonful doses of the fluid Hydrastis, or colorless Hydrastis, in water, in prostrating night sweats.
In its power over the nutrition of muscular structure, it is a most important remedy in many disorders of the womb. It produces contraction of the unstriped muscular fibers, slowly but permanently stimulating the removal of excess of growth. In parturition it is not so immediate or forceful as ergot, but acts mildly in the same manner. In uterine subinvolution, in menorrhagia or metrorrhagia from this cause, it is the best remedy we have.
It is useful also in post-partum hemorrhage, but is rather slow in its action when immediate results are demanded. In the incipient stage of the development of tumors within the uterine structure, or fibroid growths, it is not excelled by ergotine. It may be used hypodermically in these cases, and its results are comparatively permanent.
In the treatment of cancer or scirrhus of the breast Dr. Hale has had excellent results from the use of this remedy. He uses the mother tincture in conjunction with conium, giving five drops at a dose three or four times a day, the hydrastis before, the conium after meals. He says: "Sometimes, I mix them and give ten drops of the mixture three times a day."
Hydrastis is directly indicated where the tumors are hard and painful; conium where they are small, hard and painless. Where the swelling is soft or undulated and painful on pressure, and pain extending into the axilla, we find phytolacca in the same doses better than either. Sometimes, all three remedies are good together, and none of them is valuable in the open cancer. The remedies must be continued a long time to make a decided impression, and their effect is even increased by the same remedies being applied externally in the form of a plaster.
In all catarrhal conditions, especially if there be muscular relaxation and general enfeeblement, it is a useful remedy. It may be given internally and used locally. It is used locally in solution and is of much value as an application wash, irrigating fluid or gargle in all such catarrhal, ulcerating, aphthous, indolent and otherwise unhealthy conditions of mucous surfaces. Its application to nasal catarrh has been mentioned. It is a most useful gargle in aphthous or ulcerated sore mouth, in conditions where the gums are spongy or loosened from the teeth or bleed easily. In diphtheria and in tonsillitis as a gargle it is extremely useful.
Ten minims of a fluid preparation, to the ounce, may be used, or a solution of the hydrochlorate of hydrastine in nasal catarrh, in inflammation of the eyes and in gonorrhea One grain of the hydrochlorate in an ounce of rose water, with or without five grains of the sulphate of zinc, is of superior value in purulent conjunctivitis. The same preparation, diluted, is useful in gonorrhea Five drops of the solution in a dram of warm water is the proper strength. The colorless hydrastis in a solution with a small quantity of the potassium chlorate is sometimes superior in nasal catarrh. It is most serviceable in this condition if dilute.
It is the best of washes in leucorrhea, whatever the cause, and it can be used freely without danger and in various strengths—from one dram to three, to the pint of hot water. It is of much service when the discharge is thick, yellow, and the membranes relaxed and feeble. In simple cases half a dram to the pint is beneficial.
It forms an excellent wash in eczema of the anus, with ulcers or fissures within the rectum. Its use may be followed with the application of a zinc ointment, with twenty-five per cent its weight of bismuth subnitrate. In mild solutions of the hydrochlorate of the alkaloid one-fourth grain to the ounce, it is serviceable in catarrh of the bladder, as an irrigating fluid.
We find in addition to the tonic influence of this remedy, that it has been used in a number of cases of gall stone, with curative results. Professor Farnum claims to have cured a number of cases with the powdered hydrastis. The cases which he regards amenable to this treatment are, first, ordinary cases of cholelithiasis, where the symptoms are transient and not severe; second, acute inflammatory cases, usually attended with fever, and catarrhal conditions of the gall ducts; third, cases ordinarily called biliary colic. Those, of course, where organic change has not taken place, or where the stones are not impacted, in the gall bladder or in the ducts. He uses it as an efficient remedy in catarrhal jaundice where there is no pain to indicate the presence of gall stones in the ducts. This is in harmony with its influence on general catarrhal conditions of the gastro-intestinal tract.
Goss claimed that it had direct catalytic power, and aided the digestion, while it corrected the biliary function. It restores the mucous lining of the gall duct, in the same manner that it influences other mucous surfaces.
Cuthberton gave hydrastis canadensis as a tonic to a pregnant woman who had a goitre of recent appearance. The goitre was promptly cured. As a result of this observation, he treated twenty-five other cases of goitre at the time of puberty, or during the pregnant state. At times when interference with the function of the reproductive organs seemed to produce reflex irritation. He claims that every case was cured by this remedy. He gave the agent from six weeks to three months, three times a day after eating. One of the patients had become steadily worse under the use of iodine, the iodides, and thyroid extract. This patient began to improve as soon as hydrastis was given, and was promptly cured with this remedy alone.
Webster calls attention to the influence of hydrastis upon the mammary gland. It has been reported as a remedy for mammary cancer, but its more satisfactory influence is upon painful fulness of the mammary gland, during the menstrual period, or for the treatment of local enlargements occurring more or less suddenly, of a benign character, either in maiden ladies or at the menopause.
There is an abundance of authority for the use of hydrastis in conjunction with conium maculatum, in the treatment of non-malignant mammary tumors. The two agents combined seem to have an influence that neither possesses alone. Two minims each of these two remedies, in the specific form, was given by Webster before meals and at bed time, in these cases, with satisfactory results. The doctor reports in detail quite a number of cases which were relieved or cured by this treatment.

Specialization and explanation why I consider Benny Hinn , Jan Hanvold and other Pentecostal Charismatics as dangerous for you as they really are magicians , psychics and false prophets!
1 Jn . b 2 18 My child ! it is the last time : and as ye have heard that antichrist is coming, so it is and now many antichrists , whereby we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us , but they were not of us : for if they had been of us , they would have continued with us : but it should be obvious that not all of us . 20 And ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all .
We live in the last few days , they have gone out from us says the apostle . They move among the Christians , but they have never been Christians and true born-again child of God , where it is obvious that Jan Hanvold , Benny Hinn , Todd Bentley , and very many other Pentecostal charismatics . Had they had complied with God's word and biblical and healthy church discipline , they had never had a nubbesjanse to deceive and mislead so many people. Photo of Todd Bentley who is remarried as Jan Hanvold and so many other Pentecostal Charismatics are.
Notice verse 23: "And then I will declare to them, ' You have never known me. Depart from me , you who are doing lawlessness . "
These people like Benny Hinn , Emanuel Minos , Jim Bakker , Jan Hanvold and countless other Pentecostal Charismatics , they have no conscience intact .
1 Tim . 1 18 This charge I commit unto thee , son Timothy , according to the earlier prophetic words of thee , that thou by them will fight the good fight , 19 as you have faith and a good conscience , it has some cast away and suffered shipwreck in the faith ; 20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander , whom I have delivered unto Satan , that they may be chastised for not to blaspheme .
They threw away their conscience , therefore , " are transferred " their spirit to others if one opens up for the same demonic and evil influences.
King Saul was never circumcised heart - although he came under prophesied.
1 Sam . 19 19 When Saul was told that David was in Naioth in Ramah, 20 Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw prophetic crowd, which was prophesied , and Samuel standing there as their lead , then came the Spirit of God Saul's messengers , and they also prophesied . 21 When it was told Saul , he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied . And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied . 22 Then went he also to Ramah , and came to a great well that is in Secu , he said, Where are Samuel and David? They answered : They are Naioth in Ramah. 23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also , so he went all the way and prophesied , until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 24 When he tore off his clothes and he also was prophesied as he stood before Samuel , and he fell down and lay naked all that day and all that night Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets ?
Emanuel Minos , David Ostby , Jan Hanvold , Benny Hinn , Todd Bentley and all other Pentecostal Charismatics are like King Saul . They know both the one and the other, but Jesus knows they do not even Jesus does not know them!
It is obvious that this is so, then the demons can not stay in the heart of a true child of God. Whether " live " Satan or God there. It is obvious that when having people who are true children of God, but is that the religious time of Jesus , Satan's child and have him Father .
Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil , and you want to do your father's desires he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because truth is not in him . When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of lies .
After studying this subject, and the word of God again , so I have come more and more to the conclusion that these deceivers , sorcerers and false prophet have never been saved and has always belonged to the evil as he is their father .

Evidence increases for reading on paper instead of screens
Most studies point to better reading comprehension from printed material, researcher says
by Jill Barshay August 12, 2019 March 30, 2020
Credit: Jill Barshay/The Hechinger Report
Virginia Clinton prefers to read on a screen. Her love affair with digital texts began when she was a new mother, juggling the workload of a young academic with diapers and feedings. "I have warm, fuzzy memories of rocking my babies to sleep and reading one-handed on my phone," Clinton said.
As an assistant professor of education at the University of North Dakota, Clinton had encouraged her students to save money on textbooks and buy cheaper digital versions or use free materials online. Her research specialty was reading comprehension. According to theories she learned in graduate school, she recalled, there should be no difference between reading on paper and reading on a screen.
But many of her education students told her they preferred paper, she said. Clinton decided to delve into at all the studies published since 2008 about reading on screens. She compiled results from 33 high-quality studies that tested students' comprehension after they were randomly assigned to read on a screen or on paper and found that her students might be right.
The studies showed that students of all ages, from elementary school to college, tend to absorb more when they're reading on paper than on screens, particularly when it comes to nonfiction material. "Sometimes you should print it out, especially if it's long," said Clinton.
Clinton now tells her students to order the book if they prefer reading paper. "It's enough of a benefit that it's worth the paper and ink and the cost of the book," she said.
Related: A textbook dilemma: Digital or paper?
The benefit for reading on paper was rather small, after averaging the studies together, Clinton said. But 29 of the 33 laboratory studies found that readers learned more from text on paper.
Clinton's analysis, published earlier in 2019, is now at least the third study to synthesize reputable research on reading comprehension in the digital age and find that paper is better. It was preceded by a 2017 review by scholars at the University of Maryland and a 2018 meta-analysis by scholars in Spain and Israel. The international analysis arrived at nearly the same numerical conclusion as Clinton's study. Paper beat screens by more than a fifth of a standard deviation. (Scholars argue over how to interpret these statistical units. For controlled laboratory studies like these, it's a small advantage.)
The mounting research evidence against screens is important because it clashes with textbook publishers' long-term plans to emphasize digital texts. Pearson, the largest textbook publisher in North America, announced in July 2019 that it was moving to a "digital first" strategy. Books will still be available to rent but students will be discouraged from buying them by higher prices, fewer updates and limited availability.
This reading research also runs counter to well-intended advice for students to save money. A July 2019 report from the National Association of College Stores shows a record high 22 percent of college students are using free online course materials, up from 3 percent in 2015. Thanks to free online texts, overall spending on materials has decreased.
For proponents of digital texts, there is plenty to quibble about in the current research. The studies that Clinton included in her analysis didn't allow students to take advantage of the extra bells and whistles that digital texts can potentially offer. Some argue that these add-ons — such as pop-up quizzes in the middle of a reading passage to check for comprehension or instant definitions of unfamiliar words — are what give digital text an edge. In Clinton's underlying studies, students could only interact with a digital text as they do on paper. That pretty much restricted students to highlighting and note taking.
"My findings weren't fair to screens because the screens couldn't offer everything they could," Clinton said. "They were really just a shiny piece of paper."
Still, there isn't yet convincing proof that the digital add-ons improve reading comprehension or even match the reading comprehension that students can achieve with text on paper. Well-designed studies to test this don't exist. Clinton is planning to study reading comprehension with digital add-ons in her laboratory to see if digital texts will get better results.
Why students don't read as well on screens is a fascinating question. Some experts think the glare and flicker of screens tax the brain more than paper. Others argue that spatial memory for the location of a passage or a chart on a physical paper page can help a student recall information. Digital distraction and the temptation to browse or multi-task is an obvious problem in the real world. But internet browsing or app checking wasn't allowed in the controlled conditions of these laboratory studies.
The Maryland researchers who conducted the 2017 review thought that people were reading too fast on screens. But in Clinton's collection of studies, she didn't find any difference in reading time between the two formats.
Instead, Clinton suspects that the problem might be one of rampant self-delusion by screen readers. In many of the lab studies, readers answered questions on how well they thought they had performed in the experiment. Screen readers consistently overestimated their reading comprehension. Paper readers were more accurate in their self-judgments.
The excessive confidence of screen readers is important, Clinton said, because people who overestimate their abilities are likely to put in less effort. The less effort a person puts into a reading passage, the less they are likely to comprehend. That's because reading comprehension, like all learning, isn't easy and requires work.
Genre also matters. When Clinton separated out the studies that had students read narrative fiction, there was no benefit to paper over screens. (So, go ahead and read Jane Austen on a Kindle.) But for nonfiction information texts, the advantage for paper stands out.
What does this mean for teachers and parents? That depends a bit on the student's age, Clinton said. For college students, she advises picking the format they personally prefer. For most students, that will be paper.
But increasingly, there won't always be a paper version. And this is where Clinton recommends that professors take extra time to show students how to read a digital text more effectively by, for example, periodically self-checking for comprehension.
Usually elementary and high school teachers don't have the flexibility to offer a text both ways. When forced to teach with a digital text, Clinton advises teachers to have students "explain more what they're reading."
"Ideally, I would like to see both [paper and digital] in the classroom," she said. "That way kids are developing screen and technology skills and they're also learning and getting the help of paper for developing reading skills."
Her advice to parents is to remember that any reading — screen or paper — is good for children. Clinton says her own children like the games they can play as rewards as they move through an e-book series. Those kind of rewards can sometimes motivate kids to read more. "But if you have a child who has a hard time focusing when they're reading — that complaint is common with screens — then paper might be helpful," she said.
Clinton said both parents and teachers need to teach children how to manage and regulate their behavior on screens in order to benefit from them.
In the meantime, the researcher herself remains a screen reader. "I don't like paper," Clinton said, "because I keep losing it."

Susan Riposta says:
You can not imagine how many times I have argued this point in meetings, workshops, and conversations with younger teachers boasting "paperless classrooms" as the newest wave in education!!! Reading comprehension is just not there for most children reading on screens!!!! And students continue to need paper and pen to organize ideas for writing essays! Keep the evidence coming in support of paper learning along with the newest technologies!
RAYMOND CHING says:
I am a research and have to read thick technical books all the time. I absolutely agree with Riposta because using digital books are no different to turning on a computer while studying. The amount of distraction just made me turn off my computer so I can stay focused because there are so much information online. Reading technical information on paper with highlighters and pencil allows me to visualize the theory into diagrams while reading and this becomes logic to solutions just by looking at the problems. Reading digitally is no different from reading off internet but the advantage of digital book is people can copy and paste from digital books to word processors instead of highlighting to condense a book into personal notes. The screen really is taxing brain power to focus on materials like reading insurance details and legal documents.
Arūnas Šileris says:
I think that the glass is half full and not half empty. A number of meta-analyses and literature reviews have found that there is no negative effect for the reading of (long ) narrative texts. Meanwhile, for K-12 students reading of narrative texts (fiction) is associated with a number of better outcomes, including higher PISA scores. For adolescents the conclusion might equally be "Read more fiction and don't worry about the medium".. or as the they say – Take care of the pennies and pounds will take care of themselves.


On Thursday evening, my brother and I sat in the clammy bedroom of his Latham, NY apartment and mulled over the final edits of Wings Over Arda: The First Age, which had in the last six months undergone an assiduous metamorphosis from a disconnected reel of raw footage to a coherent, colorful, mellifluous chunk of mostly-edited data. The sound effects had all been dropped in, the music had been finalized (as of the previous night), and the color grading had been completed after hours of sedentary work. The film was to have a private premiere (with invited guests, friends and family of the cast) in two days. Travel plans had been made by cast members and family in Manhattan, Boston and Rochester. 36 gigabytes worth of special effects, which would need compression to 1.5 or so, had yet to be delivered to us. Philip sat on the phone with Jack, our special effects expert and camera operator, uttering intermittent "Oh"s and "yeah"s as my chest did cartwheels. "There's no way I'm rescheduling the premiere again," I thought. It turned out Jack's computer had taken longer than expected to export the effects. He came through, like I knew he would, but by the time the effects were done and the film exported in its entirety, we had about twelve hours to figure out how we were going to show it. The DVD-making process, for whatever reason, failed.
While getting dinner with cast members/musicians, less than two hours before the film was to premiere, I received a call from my brother, and there came the first time I've ever answered my cell phone in a restaurant. It was just like I'd imagined: the dismayed stares from the wait staff, the attempts of my companions to shield their faces, all of it. The call itself lasted roughly nine seconds. My brother had only one sentence for me, a sentence which came out as a single word: "GotthemovieworkingbutSeedwon'tworkgottafigureitoutseeya." Seed is my brother's short film, which was set to screen before Wings.
I arrived at the Key Auditorium with friends at my heels and half the cast already present. The congratulations began and I made sure my handshakes and hugs were firm, despite not knowing whether our planned double-feature would even be happening. When I finally entered the theatre, a still frame from Seed's Gung-Fu action finale was spread across the screen, and my brother worked away on his Mac computer, which he'd MacGuyver'd to the theatre's projector system. Deep breaths were taken by all. Anna and Laura, who had come with me to dinner, took turns laying hands on my shoulders and insisting that I'd been worrying about nothing. The cartwheels inside wouldn't stop, however, until the end credits rolled.
The initial response to the premiere-version of the film was what I'd hoped for. Nearly the entire cast was able to attend. Audience members who knew the source material expressed support of my adaptation, and those who had never even heard of it claimed they were able to follow the story with no trouble. My father even breached his usual 9PM bedtime to attend.
It wasn't until midway through the laughter-coated cast party, during which we watched the behind-the-scenes featurettes I edited together, that I realized what this project really was. Amid my sadness about such a fun, thought-consuming project reaching its inevitable end, I forgot to look around the room. Once I did, I realized that more than half of the attendees, now some of my closest friends, had been strangers to me a year earlier. Working on this film did more for me (and hopefully others) than I ever anticipated. As I move into the DVD-burning process and flirt with the idea of film festivals, I can only hope the adventure will continue.
Thanks to DG for letting me host the film diary here.
Rich, Thank you for taking us along on your journey. It's been a hell of a ride.
I'm Rich only in name, but I'm glad you enjoyed these entries. They're a bit like a trail of breadcrumbs leading back to where we started, involving plenty that would have been forgotten had I not written it down.
But of course, when Wings hits the big-time, I will sprinkle the cash prize all over the capital district from a hot air balloon, beginning with Gansevoort.


Washington College News: A Natural Builder Presents "Earth, Art, and Fire: Reviving Traditions for Post-Industrial Dilemmas"
A Natural Builder Presents "Earth, Art, and Fire: Reviving Traditions for Post-Industrial Dilemmas"
Kiko Denzer with one of his mud ovens.
CHESTERTOWN, MD—The Center for Environment & Society (CES) at Washington College will present "Earth, Art, and Fire: Reviving Traditions for Post-Industrial Dilemmas" by Kiko Denzer at Litrenta Lecture Hall in the Toll Science Center at Washington College on Tuesday, October 30 at 7 p.m. This talk is free and open to the public.
A leading proponent of natural building, Kiko Denzer has worked with earth as a building material since 1994. His work has included low-cost, friendly structures for schools, playgrounds, gardens, and community events. The goals of his work are two-fold: "to bring the art and beauty of life and nature into spaces where we work and live, and to inspire people to create what they need with the materials they have on land." In order to accomplish these things, Denzer begins with primary tools such as our hands and bodies.
Since 1994 Denzer has been involved in numerous projects involving mud – constructing mud ovens, stoves, fireplaces, and sculptures. His other interests include stone- and wood-carving, teaching and writing.
Based in Oregon, he self-publishes how-to books on natural building methods through his company Hand Print Press. His first book, Build your own Earth Oven, is widely regarded as the authority on the construction of traditional earth ovens. He also has written and published Dig Your Hands in the Dirt: A Manual for Making Art out of Earth, and Make a Simple Sundial.

Richard Erickson 13 May 1996
French Internet Providers Arrested
On 06-May-96, under orders of a judge investigating pedophile circles in France, French police seized computer equipment and arrested the heads of two Internet service providers for allegedly allowing their services to propagate Usenet newsgroups that the judge considered to contain elements such as "pornographic photographs of minors." The distribution of such material is illegal in France. [And in many other countries, including the U.S. -Tonya]
Two days later, during a professional Internet exposition held at La Defense [near Paris], the French Association of Internet Providers (AFPI) held a news conference to denounce the judicial act. Francois Benveniste, director of major Internet provider Calvacom and spokesman for the group – one of whose founding members was jailed – said, "We are all guilty."
Benveniste was referring to Usenet; a portion of the online world that contains as many as sixteen thousand discussion groups that carry information on a wide variety of topics. Mr. Benveniste said that, under current law, there was no way for a French operator to provide access to these groups, because the law assumed the provider was responsible for the content. However, given the volume of Usenet, no operator could possibly monitor the contents of more than 100,000 electronic documents daily. Benveniste called upon authorities to sit down with operators to formulate an legal statue that would permit them to operate legally – without fear of being jailed.
Together with two other heads of the AFPI – Patrick Robin of Imaginet and Jerome Lecat of Iway – Benveniste announced the immediate closure of all newsgroups until 15-May-96 as a symbolic gesture. National operator France Telecom, which provides the backbone service "Transpac" and has recently started its own "Wannadoo" service, is moving in concert with the private operators, since the same laws apply to all.
For this week, there will be only one newsgroup, <fr.netware.internet>, generally available to the estimated 80,000 to 100,000 private Internet subscribers in France.
What remains unanswered is why these two particular operators were chosen out of about 48 in all, when practically all of them (including state-owned France Telecom) carry the same newsgroups. These two providers are among the larger providers in France: Francenet was one of the first, and Worldnet was one of the first to have "popular" prices.
Another unanswered question is why this action has come at this time, when the operators' association has been holding talks with the Minister of Telecoms Francois Fillon for some time, and was recently assured no access provider would be held responsible for content.
Meanwhile, after considerable confiscation of equipment, the two men jailed have been released, but remain under judicial authority.
[This ends the news portion of Richard's report, which was originally published in "Metropole, Paris Online." Below, I've included some of Richard's informal comments which further illustrate what's happening in France. -Tonya]
Although the majority of subscribers are aware that Internet providers are not responsible for content, the same cannot be said of TV news. The 08-May-96 main 20:00 CET edition of state television France 2 news gave the distinct impression that Worldnet originated the illegal content. Statements made by a Francenet spokesman were largely buried under a cascade of images, from Playboy's home page to outright porn (though no kiddie porn). I saw more flesh in news reports about the arrests than I have seen in 18 months of Internet use.
As a content provider myself, I have to think about covering a subject such as Paris, where much public art and many billboards include representations of the unclothed human body. My site could end up with an X rating even though it is part and parcel of the public (and even state-sponsored) atmosphere here.
Both at the press conference and in some TV news reports, there were mentions of software that users can use to filter suspect content. I think it is in our interest to promote such "monkey" software: hear no porn, see no porn, speak no porn. Well, maybe not the last one – pornography is a legitimate form of expression and has been since people were drawing in caves. Such "monkey" software would leave a virtual warning sign at the cave's entrance.

Finsbury Park Post Office: Union urges boycott of stationery shop over concern for workers' rights
PUBLISHED: 10:13 09 August 2017 | UPDATED: 10:52 09 August 2017
CWU activists gather signatures pledging to boycott Rizwan Salahuddin's stationery products in the event that he takes over Finsbury Park Post Office. Picture: CWU
Outside Finsbury Park Post Office on a Saturday morning, a group of union activists are campaigning. They are asking people to make a pledge. A pledge not to buy stationery.
The Post Office is looking to "modernise" its branch in Seven Sisters Road, across the road from the park itself. This means merging with a stationery shop, to be run by a man called Rizwan Salahuddin.
Little is known about Mr Salahuddin, apart from the Post Office saying "he has satisfied us that he would be able to successfully operate the branch".
Activists from the Communication Workers Union (CWU), however, are not appeased. They don't want the merger to happen. By jumping into bed with a franchisee, they claim the Post Office will be left with an inferior service.
The Post Office is currently holding a consultation on its plans, which it hopes to implement in November. The consultation ends on September 6. Until then, the CWU reps will be asking members of the public to promise not to buy Mr Salahuddin's stationery.
One activist, who has worked for the Post Office for four decades but didn't want to be named, said: "We have no idea who this guy is. What we are saying is: don't buy anything in his shop. We know people have to use the Post Office. But if they pledge to boycott the shop, it might persuade them not to go ahead with the plans. We have to use everything we possibly can."
He and colleagues claims they have 300 signatures so far, and expect to have reached four figures by September 6.
But will it really be that bad?
The Post Office says the new franchised branch will have the "same wide range of services". It will be open for five hours longer on Saturdays. The shop will be refurbished, with better disabled access.
"We are now down to 300 crown Post Offices. There is no end in sight. It's what we call a managed decline. The way it's going, there will only be three left in north London, including the Upper Street branch in Islington"
Communication Workers Union rep
The CWU rep countered: "The Post Office has this standard line that it gives to people. It says the franchisee will still offer the full range of services, and it will have longer opening hours. Our experience is that the service is always far worse.
"In 1975, there were 1,500 crown Post Offices. Over that time, the Post Office has had a policy of franchising to individuals and newsagents like McColl's and WHSmith.
"We are now down to 300 crown Post Offices. There is no end in sight. It's what we call a managed decline. The way it's going, there will only be three left in north London, including the Upper Street branch in Islington."
He continued: "The main concern for us as a union is that it's a race to the bottom. The Post Office is known for secure employment and good wages. Under franchises, they receive lower wages and no pensions.
"We believe the best approach to retaining this branch, so it can continue to serve its community, is to change the way we operate it"
Roger Gale, sales and trade marketing director, Post Office
"As a result, there's a reduction in service: the Post Office staff won't be as experienced, knowledgeable or dedicated. The turnover of staff will be higher because of the lower wages.
"But the most important thing is if the franchisee gets into financial trouble, or is not getting enough revenue, they don't have to renew the contract to carry on running the Post Office."
But Roger Gale, sales and trade marketing director, said franchising is necessary for the Post Office's survial: "We believe the best approach to retaining this branch, so it can continue to serve its community, is to change the way we operate it. If the change goes ahead it will be run by Mr Salahuddin, rather than by us directly.
"Our priority is to ensure that we provide services that will meet customer needs, both now and into the future, and secure the long-term viability of Post Office services. He can deliver excellent standards of customer service, with trained staff promoting products and services."

Post Offices in Hackney
Finsbury Park isn't the only Crown Post Office in Hackney under threat of closure.
Stoke Newington High Street Post Office has been given a prospective retail partner, though a consultation has yet to take place.
Stamford Hill and Kingsland High Street Post Offices are also on a list to be franchised, but no partners have been announced yet.
Similar to the Finsbury Park row, the three proposals have prompted huge opposition in the past year.
The CWU activist tells the Gazette: "Kingsland High Street is the most surprising. That's a large branch, very busy, and it's hard to imagine an individual being able to handle it. We are currently in limbo, waiting to hear more."
He added: "The Post Office now has franchising down to a fine art. They have been doing it for so many years. They know the process to go through.
"I just wish they would consider the alternatives – and actually listen to the views of local people."

Windows Terminal Services comes bundled with Windows Server 2003. Citrix costs extra. Here's why you might consider paying the piper.
By Greg Shields
Ever since Microsoft began bundling Terminal Services with Windows 2000 Server, users have asked, "Why should I pay for Citrix when Windows Terminal Services is free?"
"Sometimes you shouldn't," says Tim Reeser, chairman and CFO of Engineering Computer Consultants, a Citrix Platinum Reseller in Ft. Collins, Colo., and author of the recently published book Citrix MetaFrame for Windows Server 2003: The Official Guide. "When people ask, I tell them that for any deployment under 75 users, you can do reasonably well with just Terminal Services."
That's not the response you'd expect from a Citrix reseller. But with Terminal Services for Windows Server 2003, Microsoft announced a number of new features: Windows Server optimizations to support more users per server, Remote Desktop Client improvements like greater screen resolution and more colors, and support for connecting client devices into the remote session.
At first glance, Citrix's recently released MetaFrame Presentation Server v3.0 provides similar functionality as Terminal Services. Both let you remotely log on to a server remotely from a client anywhere on your network or the Internet, and both give you access to centralized applications using an easy-to-install client and low bandwidth client.
The challenge for Citrix is to convince customers they need Citrix when the common perception is that Terminal Services is free. Nabeel Youakim, a Citrix vice president responsible for the ongoing partnership between Microsoft and Citrix, says that perception is off base.
To help you make an informed decision between Citrix and Windows Terminal Services, read the following stories on:
Improvements in MetaFrame Presentation Server v3.0, released earlier this year
How Citrix Secure Gateway works
Comparison of Web portal features
History of Microsoft-Citrix alliance
"Terminal Services is not free," he says. "A Terminal Services Client Access License (TSCAL) costs about $149 per user at retail price and is non-concurrent, which means one TSCAL per user." Any time Terminal Services is used in Application Mode, a TSCAL is required for every connected client. A Citrix server license sells for around $200 to $250 per user and allows multiple users per license—there is no charge for any Citrix client software. Youakim estimates most customers average about four users per license, which makes the per-user cost between $50 and $75.
There is a catch, however: "You still have to purchase a TSCAL for every user any time you're using Citrix," he says.
So you have to buy TSCALs at about $150 per user no matter which option you choose, making that issue a wash. What it all comes down to, if Youakim's estimates are accurate, is you're really paying $50 to $75 per user more for Citrix as compared to Terminal Services.
That brings us back to the central question—do the added benefits of Citrix justify the extra expense? While some features are remarkably similar between the two products, the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite does boast some interesting improvements.
The Client Makes the Difference
If you're familiar with how Terminal Services or Remote Desktop works, you're well on your way to understanding how Citrix operates. Citrix uses a proprietary protocol called Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) to push screen updates and mouse/keyboard commands between the client and server. It's similar to Remote Desktop, but with significant bandwidth optimizations. ICA works in tandem with Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), and both can be used simultaneously on the server.
The most immediate benefit Citrix has over RDP is support for more operating systems. Unlike RDP, where clients are limited to Microsoft operating systems, Citrix provides freely downloadable ICA clients for Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Macintosh, OS/2 and others. Even DOS gets its own client.
Citrix's greatest advantage may be its "client-less" Java client, delivered as compile-on-demand Java code. You can couple the Java client with Citrix's no-host Web and security products to provide ICA access to any client, from any server, at any location that has Internet access.
"The Java client is being used more and more in our installations," Reeser says. "It's much easier for the end user." That's because the Java client is auto-downloaded and configured by the Citrix administrator, not the end user.
More importantly, the Java client isn't restricted to areas where you can actually install a client. Because of its "client-less" nature, you can—theoretically—use it in highly secure areas like airport and hotel kiosk computers, making it a boon for road warriors.
But Reeser notes there's a catch to that plan. "About 50 percent of hotel and airport kiosks are locked down so tight the Java client won't run," he says. But with Citrix claiming it has some 50 million users, he says kiosk owners are beginning to realize they have to allow users to employ the Citrix client.
Administration Considerations
Terminal Services can connect users to Terminal Servers through the Windows Remote Desktop Client. All users must configure their clients with the correct connection settings for the server. In small installations, training users on this process is easy, but in larger environments with dozens of servers and hundreds of clients, the process can get unwieldy.
Enter Citrix Web Interface. In a correctly configured Citrix Web Interface environment, the burden of maintaining server connection information is removed from the user. All users need to connect to a Citrix-enabled environment is the Web address of the Citrix Web Interface portal. At the portal, users log in once to access all the applications available within that environment. Each user's login information can be securely sent to the selected MetaFrame server hosting the application. This means you can achieve a single sign-on experience.
Once the user logs into the Citrix Web Interface server, new or updated client versions automatically deploy in the background. You can also download these client versions as an ActiveX control. That ensures all client configurations are handled by the administrator; users have no configuration capabilities. Users need only a username and password, and the applications for which they have permissions are presented.
Figure 1. The main Citrix management console is much more comprehensive than Terminal Services' (see Figure 2).
Firewall Challenges
Of course, if you're operating in a Web environment, Internet connectivity and security are paramount concerns. When running Terminal Services, all traffic between client and server is handled over TCP port 3389, which is not a port that is typically routed to the Internet, making client connections difficult through Internet firewalls.
To combat this problem and provide a secure method of transporting ICA over unsecured networks, in 2001 Citrix released Citrix Secure Gateway. Now in its second generation, Secure Gateway provides proxy and ticketing services to your MetaFrame deployment, allowing you to securely connect Citrix-enabled applications to the Internet while easing firewall traversal. The Secure Gateway authenticates users and employs a combination of SSL and network proxying to encrypt the ICA stream coming out of the MetaFrame server. It also re-encapsulates data into a TCP port 443 HTTPS connection, which is much easier to route over insecure networks. The gateway also masks the internal network information of your secured MetaFrame servers.
What this provides over Terminal Services is the ability to push applications over the Internet while providing users with an easy-to-use Web interface. Combining this with Citrix's Java-based client can create an environment that lets users access applications from kiosks or even airport computers.
Figure 2. The Terminal Services management console is spare, uncluttered and functional.
To Stream or Not to Stream
Microsoft's RDP protocol has improved dramatically since the beginning. So much so, in fact, that the difference in total bandwidth used between RDP and Citrix's ICA protocol is negligible.
According to Citrix Technical Support Services, a good rule of thumb for either protocol is about 30Kbps per concurrent user. This means that at a typical load level, your network connection use will scale with the number of concurrent users that each connection is serving.
One important difference remains, however. RDP is considered a "streaming protocol," while ICA is not. As a streaming protocol, RDP will consume 30Kbps at all times during the session. ICA's bandwidth utilization, on the other hand, will decrease if the user's session becomes inactive. Data packets are only transferred between client and server when a mouse or key is clicked or something is updated on the screen.
Jones agrees with the suggestion that servicing more than 75 users may warrant making the jump to Citrix, but notes that many companies start small, then build their Citrix deployments over time. "Why do they eventually buy Citrix? For many reasons—management, client homogeneity and security," he says.
So, why should you pay for Citrix when Terminal Services is "free?" If your deployment is small and simple, Terminal Services is easy and inexpensive to deploy. If your environment requires multiple operating systems, your users demand simple interfaces, or you want secure environments outside your LAN, the added features of Citrix are worth the investment.

New York / San Deigo
25 MarMazda has 1 big problem — and 1 huge advantage
Written by life
Categorised Business News, Tech News
Mazda is one of those interesting small car brands in the US market: small but highly regarded.
It has a very strong brand identity as a sort of bargain BMW, the ultimate Japanese driving machine. Car critics love its cars.
But it also has only modest market share: about 2%. And it's unlikely to gather up much more, as the US market is now riding high, with a record 17.5 million new cars and trucks sold last year. It probably won't climb much higher.
Mazda also already has a a solid portfolio of vehicles, a good mix of cars and crossover SUVs (along with the wonderful MX-5 Miata roadster).
So it's not like a spate of new models in unexplored segments will move the needle. Long ago, when Mazda was still conjoined with Ford, it sold a small pickup truck (I actually owned one). But a new Mazda pickup isn't on the horizon.
Masahiro Moro, President and CEO of Mazda's North American business, isn't really concerned about the market-share question. What he is concerned about is keeping his customers happy.
"We want to sharpen up, rather than go wide," he told Business Insider in an interview at the New York Auto Show. "If we're going to have 2%, we want it to be a good 2%."
For Moro, Mazda is a brand for which perception matters.
Comeback customers
And that's where the company has a significant business challenge of overcome. Because while plenty of people buy a Mazda vehicle, not enough of those people buy another one.
Moro said that Mazda's retention rate for owners is near the bottom of the industry at about 34% — two of every three Mazda customers aren't repeat buyers.
"This is unsustainable," Moro said.
Changing that is obviously a high priority for a man who, at 55, got the top North American job just last year (he's been with Mazda since 1983). Moro wants to improve that statistic to 50% over the next three years. He said that 60% would be great, but that it's too far to expect the number to move.
He stands a better chance of winning repeat customer with his current US vehicle lineup. Mazda is selling three SUVs, the CX-3, CX-5, and CX-9. All are base-priced at under $30,000 and occupy a market segment that in the US is now white-hot, driving sales and profits for car makers.
Moro said that Mazda made the decision to drop two models in the US, the subcompact Mazda 2 and the Mazda 5 minivan/wagon combo, in order to focus on the small crossover, the CX-3.
And at the New York Auto Show, Mazda pulled a surprise out of its hat, unveiling a fastback retractable hardtop version of its latest-generation MX-5 Miata, a beloved set of wheels.
Customers for life
Mazda will focus on getting its dealer network to think long-term.
"The average US customer buys a vehicle 9.6 times in his their life," he said, speaking of a case in which a person chooses a $30,o00 Mazda car or SUV.
"So it's not $30,000 of revenue opportunity," he added. "It's $300,000."
But Mazda has a secret weapon: customers love the cars.
"Mazda has a clear idea," Moro said. "The driver has to be the center and driving [should be] rejuvenating."
The "zoom-zoom" brand has been delivering that experience for years and has been rewarded with the overriding impression that its cars are fun. Now it simply needs to convince customers that fun shouldn't end.

"Prevention is better than cure" but in case you have not been able to prevent it, IFF Lab has the cure.
The recent demonetization in India accompanied by the government's promotion of a cashless economy is certain to reap a bountiful of benefits for our nation. However, that puts an extra onus on the government and us to safeguard ourselves against financial frauds while using modes of e-payment. Credit and debit cards along with other modes of cashless payment have become a prevalent choice for most of us, owing to their convenience and most other times, due to complimentary offers or discounts offered by the banks or the e-wallet service providers. This gives an incentive to fraudsters who are constantly on a lookout to seek an opportunity to seize any loopholes in the system.
"Reserve Bank of India has quoted a 35% rise over the past 3 years in the incidents of card and net banking-related frauds in India"
Disclosing confidential information such as username, password, card numbers, CVV etc. by responding to an e-mail, apparently from a trusted source. Such spoof e-mails are direct the users to a fraudulent website.
The act of using a landline or cellular telephone, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), or voice e-mail to trick individuals into revealing One Time Password (OTP) and other confidential information.
Disclosing confidential information by responding to a spoofed SMS. Perpetrators often send fraudulent links or promotional SMS to lure an individual into opening it and falling prey to a financial fraud.
In spite of banks issuing warnings to abstain from divulging account details, PIN, and CVV to anyone over the phone, many tend to fall prey to phishing, smishing and vishing that enables stealing of internet or mobile banking credentials.
Watch out for the presence of skimmers in the card reading slot, light diffuser area, keyboard area, rain cover, side face and speaker area of an ATM machine.
Cloning of a debit/credit card by installing a device called a 'skimmer' on a card reader slot, ATM rain cover which reads the information stored in the magnetic strip of a card, including the CVV number.
Use of hidden cameras and/or other imaging devices inside an ATM to capture the PIN entered by a victim while using his card. This in conjunction with the skimmer helps perpetrators withdraw money from the victim's account.
Installing a trick keypad overlay onto the factory-installed keypad of an ATM has evolved as a relatively new technique of recording the PIN by storing keystrokes.

SIMMS SAYS NO.
All eyes are now on veteran Liberal MP and former Cabinet Minister Gerry Bryne.
No surprise, Bonavista-Gander-Grand Falls M.P. Scott Simms is not going to throw aside his secure seat for the helm of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Simms is no slouch. He had to let those "party insiders" give him the pitch. He had to take time to weigh the options, or at least be seen too.
He is on top of his game, close to the rising star of Justin Trudeau, enjoying the job and the security of his pay cheque. The opportunity to lead the provincial Liberals will come again. Ask Brian Tobin, he dodged the poison chalice through the 1980's, taking up the mantle after Clyde Wells made the transformation a cake walk.
$750,000 in debt, organizationaly challenged, displaced by the New Democrats in the polls.
The Liberal Party is not even a fixer upper at the moment. The timbers are rotted, the foundation is floundering. No simple patch-up job will suffice. The property is worth something, but the structure needs to be hauled down all together.
The Liberals continue to search for the one.
The one who has the magnetism, charisma, profile and access to financial resources.
The one who can deliver rural and urban seats.
The one who can turn it all around in one swoop.
What they really need is a builder. Someone who appreciates the mess for what it is. Who is willing to get out on the hustings and take advantage of the souring support for the current administration.
When Danny Williams became the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in 2001 some said a townie could never be premier. The party was a shell of itself. Williams went on an unprecedented charm offensive. He toured the province in his camper. He shook hands, hugged babies, recruited candidates and rebuild the Progressive Conservative Party in his image.
The Liberals could learn a thing or two from how Danny William's built his PC party. It was much more than timing. It was much more than waiting for the people to throw out Grimes.
It was about planning
and a unified approach.
He was hungry.
He knew what he wanted
and how he wanted to do it.
With the leadership convention just nine months away and the election several years after that, who from outside the caucus has the time, money and dedication to take on the job? Can anyone trust the powers that be at the helm of the parliamentary wing and the non-parliamentary wing to play Ball?
The Liberals need that kind of focus. Instead of chasing off talent like they did in Gander this Fall, the need to start showing candidates that the executive and the caucus can be led. That they can follow orders. That they can deliver on simple commitments without making a mess of them.
Now Liberals will wait a few weeks in nervous anticipation for the next great hope to bask in the warmth of the adulation while he mulls over what is best for him personally at this time in his life.
If Gerry thumbs his nose at it, than what?
Labels: Danny Williams, Gerry byrne, Liberal Leadership, Liberal Party of Newfoundland, scott simms
Gerry Byrne is certainly not the answer. Looks like they have a big problem. Byrne is too sure of himself, usually tune him out when he is in the media seems as if he is always out to impress.
Friday, February 8, 2013 at 8:32:00 PM GMT-3:30
I'd say very few eyes are on Gerry Byrne. Do you think people are paying that much attention to a party that has been in 3rd place going on 2 years now?

Rorke's Drift – St Augustine's Mission 1898
Many people travel to Rorke's Drift following the battles of 1879, but are unaware of the St Augustine Mission about 10 kilometers north of the drift.
The sandstone St Augustine Church near Rorkes Drift
Charles Johnson (1850 – 1927), built the St Augustine's Mission, where he operated as a doctor and dentist to the local Zulu communities, and was the first Archdeacon of Zululand.
The foundation stone of the mission church was laid in 1898 by Bishop Carter but was delayed by the Boer War and completed in 1903 at a cost of 7000 Pounds. The sandstone church has a nave of 100ft and 60ft wide, a chancel 60ft by 40ft and the clerestory held up by two rows of pillars, 32 feet in height.(Lee A.W. "Charles Johson of Zululand" 1930.) Charles Johnson is buried within the walls of the church. A considerable number of structures were subsequently built that became accommodation, hospitals and places of leaning. Sadly most of the structures are derelict.

I am super excited to share a Q&A and a peek inside the places where I create over on Rain Coast Cottage, a blog about living a creative life. I was a bit hesitant when Sandra first contacted me as we had just moved back to Vancouver and was currently living out of four suitcases with my family. Her vision for this new weekly column had me thinking that even in transition, all I really need are my notebooks, some pretty pens, and a good coffee to help me create. You can see the full post here – Thanks Sandra!

Guidance on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is being released on a fast and furious basis from the Department of Labor, IRS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and Health & Human Services. In the midst of this flurry of regulatory activity, the basic planning for compliance can sometimes get overlooked due to justifiable cost concerns.
If you are not sure if you are considered a "large" employer, preliminary calculations should be completed now in order to make sure you have the data needed to calculate later this year.
Review the current employee contribution strategy and determine if your contribution to single coverage of your base plan exceeds 9.5% of W-2 income for any of your employees.
Review eligibility policies and prepare to adjust effective January 1st, if necessary.
Be prepared to distribute the required employee notice regarding the opening of the exchanges late this summer or early fall. This would be a good time to do an employee-education session to inform employees of your organization's plans for 2014. For example, you would want to tell them whether you are considered a large or small employer, whether your coverage will meet the affordability and minimal coverage standards, who is considered a full-time employee for eligibility, etc.
Determine initial and standard measurement periods for variable-hour employees.
If you have part-time employees that work variable hours, you may want to educate supervisors/managers on controlling hours worked each week so you don't have to worry about someone creeping into "30-hour" full-time status.
Review "seasonal" employees to make sure they will fit the definition.
Have a contingency plan in place if currently utilizing a temporary staffing agency, in case future guidance has an adverse impact on this type of employment.
Start the conversation with your payroll provider regarding additional required timekeeping records to comply with new IRS reporting requirements around hours worked, hours paid where no work was performed (PTO, vacation, holidays, sick, disability payments, etc) and unpaid FMLA hours.
Employee Type – Full-Time, Part-Time, Seasonal, Temporary, Commissioned, etc.
Signed waiver forms for employees who decline employer coverage should be mandatory.
All of these action items can be a daunting task. However, if you don't have the resources to complete the analysis and take the necessary steps to prepare for 2014, help is available. Call MEA for more information on how we can assist by completing a detailed analysis of your organization's risk areas and providing recommendations for the path forward into 2014.

Located very close to the South Pole, with just 33.000 hectares of vineyards, is one of the most important wine regions in the New World, for the extraordinary growth it has experienced in recent years and the excellent quality of its wines. The origin of the wine production in New Zealand began with the arrival of European settlers. His first vineyards planted started from 1836, in Waitangi, when it was a British colony by the English winemaker James Busby, known as the father of Australian wines. The first vineyard was established by the Catholic Church in 1851, Hawke's Bay, for the purpose of preparing the altar wine At first the wine was unimportant activity, until the late 60s when the UK's entry into the European Community eliminates favorable trade conditions with New Zealand. From that moment, on the one hand, dairy products and meat were affected, but on the other, are lifted restrictions on alcohol sales and farmers began transforming New Zealand farms vineyards. From the first moment pushed for sustainable agriculture and its wines naturally. Its growth has been spectacular, in 1996 there were 7,800 hectares of vineyards and in 2004 there were over 22,000, in fact, the production and export of wine is already the main source of income of the agricultural sector in New Zealand. There are 10 main producing areas, each of which has a different individual climate and terroir, due to the size of the country and its varied typography, in its two main islands The North Island more suitable for growing red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is divided into the following wine regions: Auckland, located northeast of the island, is the oldest wine-growing region, with growing Cabernet Sauvignon.
