Let's follow Linda Benavides' example: Be each other's ray of hope
Nancy Vera
Among those brilliant beacons of hope to whom I turn is poet and author Dr. Maya Angelou. She often talked of a passage in the Bible in Genesis that tells about a torrential rain persisting for so long that the people thought it would never end. According to the scripture, God then put a rainbow in the clouds. Dr. Angelou said, "God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us, in the dreariest and most dreaded moments, can see a possibility of hope." Dr. Angelou encouraged all of us to be a rainbow in somebody's clouds.
Linda Benavides, a community advocate and leader, was a rainbow in my clouds and in the life of her family and many in Corpus Christi. She encouraged me, lifted me up and helped in my efforts to help students and promote public education across the Coastal Bend.
Then again, Linda wholeheartedly and unselfishly volunteered time to others in the community through organizations such as the Hispanic Women's Network, the Texas A&M Alumni Foundation, the Westside Business Association, the YWCA, Chamber Champions and Vestido Rojo. She was a devout and loving wife, mother and grandmother.
I met her through our meetings as members of the Caller-Times Hispanic Advisory Board. She often brought clippings from the newspaper she had gathered through the month to our meetings to give feedback to the Caller-Times about articles she found inspiring and those that she believed could have been written from a better perspective. She spoke candidly but kindly, providing her insight about social issues and story ideas to the group. She was a voice on the board with us who helped express, through our conversations, concern about the domestic violence epidemic in our community. These conversations spurred the Caller-Times to write an award-winning series on domestic violence that provided insight, testimonials and resources to help our community tackle this issue head on.
Linda never sought accolades for her advocacy, but would rather lift others up in recognition and in love. Libby Averyt, the director of the United Way and former publisher of the Caller-Times, has called women to action to honor Linda. On a Facebook post, Averyt wrote:
"South Texas women knew Linda R. Benavides as someone who freely lifted up others with generosity and enthusiasm. Let's do the same for each other in her honor. Each week over the next month, drop a card or letter in the mail to at least two women you know offering support, gratitude and kindness. Women supporting women — let's be there for each other."
Averyt, who is chairwoman-elect of the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, also paid a tribute to Linda and called for a moment of silence Thursday at the chamber's "Salute to the Military."
Linda received several honors and awards during her lifetime with the most recent in February at the TAMUCC 2019 Homecoming Honors Banquet, during which she was named the 2019 Distinguished Alumnus. Dr. Kelly Quintanilla, president and CEO of TAMUCC, stated in a news release that "Linda was an exemplary Islander, championing all that it means to be part of this community… She will be an Islander Forever, and we will continue to honor her memory here on campus."
Linda was a native Corpus Christian who graduated from Roy Miller High School, attended Del Mar College and earned a master of business administration from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. She also rode a Harley Davidson motorcycle and loved George Strait songs.
I am devastated at the loss of this brilliant soul. There is some solace in that I am far from alone. So many of you share my grief and shock that she was taken from us so suddenly, at age 61. The news of her death Wednesday traveled fast and organically throughout Corpus Christi, from the offices of government and business to neighborhoods rich and poor — all were doors she opened.
Most definitely, Linda was a rainbow in our clouds. In the midst of our sorrow and pain, we must learn from Linda's life of living for others and follow this servant leader's example of generosity, kindness and love for all. In helping others we honor her work, her life and her soul. May we find peace and consolation and strive to be a beacon of inspiration as she was to her family and her community. We will miss you, Linda.
Nancy Vera is the local president of American Federation of Teachers, a longtime LULAC member and official, and like many of us in Corpus Christi, privileged to have known Linda Benavides.


I personally consider start using Public Key Authentication and Host-based Authentication a milestone from a beginner to intermediate (experienced, power user, whatever appropriate).
NOTE : TCP Forwarding (SSH Tunneling), Agent Forwarding, X11 Forwarding are considered advanced.
To understandRoaming through the OpenSSH client: CVE-2016-0777 and CVE-2016-0778better, I started readingOpenSSH manualto learn how its implementation works internally.
Below is a sample~/.ssh/config->Gistinspired bystribika's post, with comments.
I don't really understand why OpenSSH includes broken/weak algorithms, at least disable them by default for security sake. Fortunately users can specify unbroken (yet) algorithms to use in server/client configuration files.
NOTE : Remember to make necessary changes to thesshd_configon server side to make things work.sshguardis strongly recommended for Linux servers running in the cloud with public IPs.
For SSH protocol 2, Forward Secrecy (PFS) is provided through a Diffie-Hellman key agreement. This key agreement results in a shared session key (ephemeral).
OpenSSH supports the use of certificate for authentication (optionCertificateFile).
OpenSSH certificates consist of a public key, some identity information, zero or more principal (user or host) names and a set of options that are signed by a Certification Authority (CA) key. They are different, and much simpler format to the X.509 certificates used in SSL/TLS.
Verifying host key can be done using DNS and SSHFP resource record. UseVerifyHostKeyDNSto configure.


Hi & kia orana. I'm Rachel. I'm a freelance journalist, author, editor, and copywriter based between the U.S. and the Cook Islands. I'm not currently taking on new projects but would love to hear from you about future opportunities; contact me here.
My passion is for narrative-driven journalism but I am comfortable in other forms of writing, too. I've worked as a reporter for newspapers, published in magazines around the world, and produced and edited content (advertorials, press releases, public service announcements, etc.) for businesses, non-profit organizations, academics, and government agencies. I've worked as a media advisor and speechwriter for both the U.S. and Cook Islands governments. I've also written eulogies, grant proposals, and stories about less serious things than these (like baths, a vampire hunter, and a man named Party).
I co-founded, and collaborate with some talented people to create, a publication in the Cook Islands that champions "traditional" resources and values as keys to healthier, more sustainable living. We've been variously funded by the UN's Global Environment Facility, UNESCO, and the Cook Islands government. You can learn more about that project here.
I was also commissioned to write a book about Cyclone Martin, a storm that devastated a tiny, sea-level atoll 700 miles from the commercial world. You can learn more about Mātini: The Story of Cyclone Martin here.

JINDO -- The Korean response to the tragedy of the Sewol is both personal and corporate. On a personal level, individuals come to Jindo for the day, for an overnight stay, maybe for a few days, offering their services in food stands, clean-up crews, telephone centers, anywhere they might be useful.
Some of them come from company offices around Korea, others on their own. On the corporate level, Korea's hugest business names, Samsung, Hyundai, SK, many others are visible here offering everything from giant cranes and floating docks to telephone services and communications.
Food is free at the gymnasium where hundreds of relatives and friends of the trapped passengers wait for the sad news, the discovery of a body, the finality of the word that there can be no more survivors.
I have been able to watch this display of volunteerism, of national coming-together, from a close perspective. As I write, I am at a table on the side of the gymnasium floor where bereaved relatives, mostly fathers and mothers, sit stolidly, glumly, resting and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Seeing the volunteers at all levels, one has to admire the passion with which Koreans come together in this time of distress. There is a deep sense of national pride on top of shame that such a tragedy could have occurred.
You sense the same kind of unity that you see on very different types of responses on occasions such as the cheering of the Red Devils in World Cup 2002 or the nationwide applause when the International Olympic Committee selected Pyongcheong for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
You might wonder if the volunteerism is overdone, if the emotions are too intense, but a foreigner has to see it as a reflection of the Korean character. Would such volunteerism be so organized and so overwhelming in the United States or any other country?
I do think, in the U.S., you would see a tremendous outpouring under similar circumstances, after such a tragedy, but I doubt if it would be so unified and so clearly focused. That's partly because the U.S. is much larger, both geographically and in terms of population, and also because the U.S. is made up of so many different racial and ethnic groupings. Also, a lot of the Korean response has to do with the need to compensate for an event that many tell me is humiliation for all Koreans.
Are Koreans overwrought? Over the years, there have been many disasters that cost hundreds of lives. I am thinking of the shootdown by a Soviet fighter jet of the Korean flight as it passed over the Kamchatka peninsula in 1983, of the Daegu subway arson that killed nearly 200 people in 2003, of the Sampoong Department store collapse that killed 500 people in 1995. The list goes on and on.
Yes, the response to the ferry sinking seems more intense, more overwhelming than in the aftermath of those tragedies, but there are two reasons for that. For one thing, more than half the passengers were high school kids, and the thought of kids aboard on a holiday cruise to Jeju is intensely saddening.
Worse, they died slow deaths, trapped on the boat, ordered to wait below for help, unable to make their way out. The thought of children dying in prolonged agony is difficult for anyone. For the parents, there is also the prolonged agony of waiting for divers to recover the bodies, one by one, decomposing in the cold waters.
When you consider the special horror of this tragedy, the Korean response hardly seems overdone. Here is a case that is really different from the others, horrible though they were. You can hardly compare this event to the much greater loss of life inflicted by the earthquake and tsunami that swept over the Japanese coastline, inundating a nuclear power plant, in March 2011, leaving more than 18,000 people dead or missing and presumed dead.
The damage there was caused by an act of nature, not human error, but controversy swirls around the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Activists claim the radiation from the plant has endangered millions, though the significance of the fallout is far from clear.
One big difference is that the high loss of life in the ferry accident could have been prevented. The failure to get the passengers on deck, wearing life preservers and/or life vests, the delay in getting rescue vessels to the sides of the sinking vessel, the escape of the captain and most of his crew all suggest terrible human errors and negligence.
You can't blame Koreans for wanting somehow to show their deep concern, for wanting to make up for this awful tragedy. If they can never bring back the lives of those who died, perhaps the response will compel companies and individuals to take far more precautions needed to shield people from more such tragedies.

La Casa Bigné es un edificio situado en la calle Pérez Pujol número 5 en la ciudad de Valencia (España). Es obra del arquitecto valenciano Demetrio Ribes Marco. También es conocido como edificio La Equitativa.

Edificio
El edificio es un proyecto del arquitecto Demetrio Ribes Marco realizado en 1911. Su estilo arquitectónico es el modernismo valenciano con una clara influencia de la corriente modernista austriaca Sezession. Fue construido a instancias de Ramón Bigné para su vivienda particular. Las obras las llevaría a cabo el maestro de obras Adolfo Bueso Mallol, que siguió las órdenes estrictas del arquitecto.

Consta de planta baja y cuatro alturas. Destaca en su fachada la disposición vertical y la ornamentación sobria pero claramente modernista. Es el caso de los dos escudos de la ciudad de Valencia en la segunda altura, muy similares a los que realizó el mismo arquitecto en la estación del Norte de Valencia o la rosa de Mackintosh de la escuela de Glasgow. Destacan también la decoración vegetal en la barandilla de los balcones de forja de hierro.

La austeridad y la geometrización de distintos elementos acercan al edificio al estilo arquitectónico racionalista. En el piso principal (primera planta) se ubicaron las oficinas de La Equitativa de los Estados Unidos del Brasil, el resto de alturas estaban destinadas a viviendas.

En el zaguán del edificio se halla un panel cerámico diseñado por el propio arquitecto, buena muestra de los esmerados acabados con los que contó la edificación.

Stolen from My Daily Kona -Canada retires the Lee-Enfield after 114 years of service.
No Comments on Stolen from My Daily Kona -Canada retires the Lee-Enfield after 114 years of service.
I shamelessly cribbed this from the "National Post". I didn't know that the Enfield was still in front line service with the Canadians. I really like the Enfields, I have 2 of them.
They are from front to back, my 303 Enfield, my Springfield 03A3 and my 308 Enfield.
My Enfield was made at the Ishapore Royal Armory in India in January 1945, She is a Number 1 Mark III. My other Enfield is a "308" enfield made in 1968 for the Indian Police. Both were made in the same arsenal. I thought that was pretty neat.
I have copied the entire article through the magic of "Cut and Paste". I thought that this was a really cool article for us people that like history and rifles. I am using "Chrome" to do this article. so the fonts are a bit different.
It has killed Germans in two world wars, shown up on both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict and has turned up in the hands of Taliban fighters. Easily one of the deadliest rifles in history, it once protected nearly 50 national armies.
Canadians carried it on D-Day, at Vimy Ridge, through Ortona and in the defence of Kapyong.
Now, after 114 years, the Canadian Armed Forces is becoming the last national military in the world to retire the Lee-Enfield rifle from front-line service.
They even put the gun on their official badge. Wikimedia Commons
Since 1947 the Lee-Enfield has remained the main service weapon of the Canadian Rangers, a part-time force mainly devoted to Arctic patrols. This week, the Canadian Rangers began replacement of their Lee-Enfields with the specially commissioned Colt Canada C19.
Unlike many other antique items in the Canadian military, the Lee-Enfield didn't hang on for so long out of apathy or tight budgets. Rather, it's because it's still one of the best guns to carry above the tree line.
The Lee-Enfield's powerful .303 cartridge was famous for killing enemy soldiers with one shot, and it's equally good at stopping a charging polar bear.
Its wood stock makes it uniquely resistant to cracking or splitting in extreme cold. The rifle is also bolt-action, meaning that every shot must be manually pushed into place by the shooter. This makes for slower firing, but it also leaves the Lee-Enfield with as few moving parts as possible.
"The more complicated a rifle gets … the more prone you are to problems with parts breaking or jamming in a harsh environment," said Eric Fernberg, an arms collection specialist at the Canadian War Museum.
"It might seem old-fashioned … (but) the retention of the Lee-Enfield by the Canadian Rangers was a wise choice for their role and environment."

The Lee-Enfield was developed as a standard-issue British infantry weapon at the close of the 19th century. Given that this was the height of the British Empire, the gun was soon being used to arm troops in virtually every corner of the globe.
"It has been used in every conceivable theatre of war … and its high build quality and tough construction made it all but indestructible," wrote the historian Martin Pegler in a book about the Lee-Enfield.
And while it can't shoot as fast as modern automatic rifles, a well-trained British soldier could fire and reload quick enough to squeeze off 30 rounds per minute from a Lee-Enfield.

Canadian militias first picked up an early version of the Lee-Enfield in 1896 and Canadian volunteers would carry them in the Boer War. The more familiar short-muzzled Lee-Enfield came out in 1904.
When the First World War broke out, Canadians initially went into battle carrying the Canadian-made Ross Rifle. However, the Ross was so prone to malfunction that Canadians were soon scavenging Lee-Enfields from dead British soldiers.
From then on, the Lee-Enfield remained the weapon of choice for Canadian soldiers right up until the 1950s. Of the more than 118,000 Canadians who have been killed in foreign wars, most would have been issued a Lee-Enfield.
Although Brits stopped using the Lee-Enfield right around the time they dissolved the Empire, the Lee-Enfield became the English-speaking world's version of the ubiquitous Soviet-made AK-47. With thousands of the rifles turned over to the surplus market after the Second World War, they were soon making cameo appearances in dozens of conflicts, skirmishes and civil wars.

Lee-Enfields were wielded by IRA terrorists in The Troubles. They were among the mish-mash of guns that Israelis used to fend off Arab armies in 1948. Bangladeshis used them to gain independence from Pakistan.
In the 1980s, the United States funnelled massive shipments of antique Lee-Enfields to Afghanistan for use by Mujahedeen fighters against the Soviet Union. It's for this reason that Lee-Enfields continue to show up in the hands of Taliban fighters, often as a sniper rifle.
In 2010, writer C.J. Chivers analyzed a cache of weapons seized from the Taliban and found a British-made Lee-Enfield from 1915.
And while they were no longer taken by uniformed soldiers into battle, Lee-Enfields are still in the arsenals of several police forces in the developing world.
In Canada the guns had a more peaceful afterlife as a hunting rifle. Cheap and able to fell large game, Lee-Enfields are responsible for the antlers and taxidermied animal heads on countless Canadian roadhouses. "No other rifle could be more reliable," reads one glowing review of the Lee-Enfield published in March.

This was part of the reason why the rifle was an easy choice for the Canadian Rangers in the first place; it was a gun that most Northern hunters already trusted.
"A lot of us grew up using the old .303s … it was a good gun, it was a gun you could depend on," Northwest Territories MP Michael McLeod told CBC this week.
It's a testament to the Lee-Enfield's reliability that replacement is strikingly similar.
The Colt Canada C19 is still bolt-action, still has a wood stock and still fires 10 shots. The main differences are that it's lighter, more accurate and has several cold weather modifications, such as a larger trigger guard to accommodate gloved hands.

The .308 calibre C19 replaces the Lee-Enfield .303 rifle which the Canadian Rangers have used since 1947. The C19 is lighter, shorter, more precise, and more reliable in below-freezing temperatures. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/new-canadian-ranger-rifle-being-put-through-its-paces …
10:01 AM – May 9, 2018
Although the Lee-Enfield spent years as one of the cheaper offerings in Canadian gun shops, the rifle's advancing age and increasing rarity has recently caused it to climb in price.
Some current listings for used Lee-Enfields put the gun at between $700 and $900 — a price comparable to a brand new higher-end bolt-action rifle
However, the gun's retirement from the Canadian Rangers will mark the final time that a major batch of Lee-Enfields will be released to the private market.
According to the Department of Defence, some 9,500 will be turned over to cadets for use in target practice while 5,000 will be offered as gifts to Canadian Rangers holding valid gun licences.

Q: How can I have a column separator after an equals sign in an "aligned" environment? I understand that the "aligned" environment is meant to be used like this:
\[
\begin{aligned}
A &= bc \\
&= cd
\end{aligned}
\]

This works and looks quite nice.
But what if both the A part and the bc part are quite long, and I want to have them on their own separate lines, so that each line except the first has an equals sign at the beginning?
This is what I tried:
\[
\begin{aligned}
& A \\
=& bc \\
=& cd
\end{aligned}
\]

Unfortunately this makes it so that there is no space after the equals signs, which looks weird.
How can I have an equation in this format but have the correct spacing after the equals sign (as in the first example)?

New £300k virtual studio to bring students' creative vision to life
Home / More / News / New £300k virtual studio to bring students' creative vision to life
Craig Moore (left) and Kieran Phillips in the new virtual studio
Work is now complete on a new 4K-UHD virtual studio at the University of Sunderland.
Installed at the University's David Puttnam Media Centre at the Sir Tom Cowie Campus, St Peter's, the new facility will give students the opportunity to gain practical experience in latest-generation virtual studio production techniques.
The £300,000 system includes a Mo-Sys StarTracker Studio with a camera tracking unit, wireless-linked handheld StarTracker Viewfinder and high-grade green-screen walls and flooring.
Craig Moore, Senior TV Technician at the University of Sunderland, said: "We wanted to be able to offer something other universities currently can't. The success of The Mandalorian television series, and the publicity about how it was created, opened our eyes to the process of live virtual production.
"Our hope was to replicate a similar type of setup which would position our university at the forefront of this new production method within the higher education sector. With this new system we can create large sets at no cost and turn our studios into anything our students can think of.
"This investment will also help us forge new relationships with external companies, whether it be production companies, football clubs and the local council. The main aim is to give our students every advantage possible for when they graduate and help them gain employment in their chosen field."
Startracker Viewfinder
Mo-Sys VP Pro Unreal Engine plug-in in action
The virtual studio
The StarTracker camera tracking system was recently used on the BBC coverage of the Tokyo Olympics and in its Match of the Day programmes.
Kieran Phillips is project manager at CJP Broadcast, the company behind the installation.
"StarTracker is an exceptionally stable tracking technology based on small reflective stars which are randomly applied to the studio ceiling," he explained.
"The stars are hardly visible to the naked eye. An unobtrusive LED element on the camera shines light on the stars, defining the star map which allows StarTracker to report position, rotation and lens data accurately and in real-time. Once calibrated, the system is fully automatic and starts tracking after being powered on, and because StarTracker is always referencing itself to its star map, its position is absolute and drift-free."
Professor Arabella Plouviez is Academic Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries at the University.
She said: "The investment into our new virtual studio at the Media Centre opens up a whole new level of creative opportunities for students from across the faculty.
"The green hue of the new space can be digitally manipulated into any kind of environment – real or imagined – for film, TV, animation or photography. It will enable our students to really innovate with technology still so new that the possibilities are still uncharted. This is an exciting new area for us to be leading in."
Lee Hall, Head of the University's School of Media and Communications, said: "This investment in virtual production is great news for our students, who will have the opportunity to experiment and innovate with cutting edge technology.
"We want our students to have the tools to realise their creative vision, with the support of expert staff. This technology provides a powerful way to bring content to life and scale up their ambitions.
"The fact it can bring together production specialists, performers, animators and even coders opens up even more exciting collaborations. I can't wait to see the results."
Chris Phillips, managing director at CJP Broadcast, added: "This is the latest in a series of projects we have completed for the university sector.
"We are fully confident that the system we have built in partnership with Craig and his colleagues will provide both the theoretical understanding and practical skills graduates need to succeed in the modern world of media creativity."

Nagano, Hanatsu (2014) Understanding Gait Control Dynamics: Ageing Effects on Falling Risks. PhD thesis, Victoria University.
Due to the ongoing trend of an ageing population in many developed countries, falls among older adults during walking are emerging as an important social healthcare issue due to high injury rates and associated medical costs. Unsuccessful recovery from balance loss leads to falls, and four critical swing phase gait events are toe-off, heel contact, minimum foot clearance (MFC) and minimum lateral margin (MLM). Dynamic balance at these four gait events were examined to characterise biomechanical evidence in older adults' walking patterns to understand the frequent occurrence of falls. Falls prevention strategies need to be effective and practical in addition to cost advantages and ease of engagement, if a measure is to be adopted as a long-term habitual intervention. This project also investigated whether a shoe insole is effective in reducing falls risks. As insoles can be applied to any shoes at lower cost, insole interventions could possibly prove an ideal approach to falls prevention during walking.

The Digital Totem is an interactive installation which brings contemporary Northwest Coast voices and new interpretation into this historic gallery with a touch-screen portal to the peoples, places, and sounds of the Pacific Northwest. To create the Digital Totem, the Museum worked closely with Northwest Coast collaborators and interviewed members of Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw, Haida, Nuu-chah-nulth, Musqueam, Gitxsan, Tlingit, and Tsimshian communities.
Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas brings Pacific Northwest Coast art to life through stories, illustrated books, animated films, and interactive artwork during a residency at the Museum. Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is a contemporary artist whose wide-ranging artistic practice explores themes of identity, environmentalism and the human condition. Influenced by both Haida iconography and contemporary Asian visual culture, he has created an artistic practice that crosses diverse cultures, generations, and disciplines in search of accessibility and engagement as a counterpoint to stratification and isolation.
The American Museum of History, Division of Anthropology welcomed a delegation of master craftsmen and native experts from the Sakha Republic in the Russian Federation. The group had come to New York to attend and perform during the annual United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York. At the museum, the group examined objects collected by Waldemar Jochelson during the American Museum of Natural History's Jesup North Pacific Expedition (1897-1902).

About the theme: Tipi Teachings
Information sourced and shared by Cheryl Copage-Gehue, Indigenous Community Engagement Advisor, Office of Diversity & Inclusion, Halifax Regional Municipality
Mi'kma'ki is made up of all of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, large areas of New Brunswick, the Gaspé Peninsula, and Newfoundland. In our language, Halifax is called Kjipuktuk, meaning the great harbour. Mi'kma'ki was divided into seven districts, each of which was led by a District Chief. This group of seven district chiefs made up the Mi'kmaw Grand Council, which governed over the Mi'kmaw people. There were many smaller communities in each district. These communities were led by a local chief. The Halifax Regional Municipality is located in the Sipekne'katik District.
In the past, Mi'kmaw people learned about their culture and history through stories and legends. It was rare for Mi'kmaw people to write their histories down on paper. We listen to each other, especially to the Elders in our community, because it is our stories and legends that help us put all the pieces of the puzzle together into a picture that we can call our own.
A group of Mi'kmaq could set up camp in a matter of hours, building a fire and making wigwams. Everyone was organized to help gather the building materials and supplies. Our word "wigwam" comes from the Mi'kmaq "wikuom", a dwelling. Wigwams were usually built by women and could be built in a day. The basic structure of the wigwam was five spruce poles, lashed together at the top with split spruce root and spread out at the bottom. A hoop of moosewood was tied under the poles just down from the top to brace them. Shorter poles tied to the hoop all around provided supports for the birchbark cover. Birchbark sheets were laid over the poles like shingles, starting from the bottom and overlapping as they worked up the wigwam. Extra poles laid over the outside helped hold the birchbark down. The top was left open for fireplace smoke to escape.
A separate bark collar covered the top in bad weather. The floor was lined with fir twigs, woven mats and animal furs and a large hide acted as a door cover. Wigwams were painted with figures of animals and birds. The largest conical wigwams housed 12-15 people; for bigger families, a longer style with two fireplaces was built.
The word tipi was not used by the Mi'kmaq as it comes from a different native language and usually refers to a tent covered with skins, not bark.
Today, when you attend public events like National Day of Truth & Reconciliation or Treaty Day, you will see that tipi structure is being used instead of our traditional bark covered wigwams. We have adopted the tipi structures as a tool to showcase Indigenous culture.
For this activity we will be building upon the teachings that are taught to our people as they learn to build a tipi structure.
Hope you enjoy this activity and the lessons that are learned as we build our structure. Keep your eye for these structures around the city in the upcoming months especially around National Indigenous People Day (June 21) National Day of Truth and Reconciliation (September 30) and Treaty Day (October 1) and the launch of Mi'kmaw History Month in October.

So I had to go see one of those geniuses the other day. My beloved Macbook was running a little slow.
So I had to go see one of those geniuses the other day. My beloved Macbook was running a little slow. Something I wasn't used to anymore since abandoning Windows, so I needed help. Some elaborate scans later a few apparent problems with my drive and permissions were resolved. Fingers crossed it'll make a difference as neither me nor my bank account are ready yet to say goodbye to my Macinvestment Pro. While I understand that "performance issues" are about as vague of a description I can give to a genius, he did offer some very insightful tips. Upgrading the hard drive, adding some fresh memory. Since I'm pretty tech-savvy he even explained where I could buy the parts needed for cheap(er) and install them myself. Neither himself or the store he works for would make any money off that deal, and I was certainly impressed with the fact he was more interested in helping his customers than making (more) money off them. Well done.
Knowledge is power. Information is everything. It enables us to make informed decisions instead of estimated guesses. Right now is a perfect time to be alive. We have all the knowledge known to mankind right at our fingertips, and often in our pocket. On a handheld device that has more processing power and storage capacity than my first ever computer. It's a true miracle of technology. It does make me afraid sometimes to ask a potentially stupid question though, but thankfully some sales people have a service mindset and are willing to help me out anyway. All that knowledge has also led to a sense of entitlement in the consumer market: people tend to treat sales staff as inferior beings since they think they know everything already. We tell artists at art events "I can just get that at Costco", and we raise a patronizing "stay away" finger to a salesman who only wanted to help us out. True stories. Did you forget Costco doesn't sell one-of-a-kind pieces of art, and you're a guest in my store so who do you think you are raising your little finger at me? Google that.
Next time you talk with a sales person, be nice to them. They work hard to make a living – and they usually have some control over how much you'll eventually pay for their product or service, if they're still willing to sell to you at all. Think about the example I started this post with. It's always about helping each other out in the first place, making money comes second. It's the relationships you build that matter and that will make people come back and do business with you over and over again. We're all equal in the end. Be nice to each other. It might just make planet earth a bit nicer to live on.


By understanding this root word, one can clearly see the meanings of many important Pāli words, without looking for roots in Sanskrit.
From this, "san" gives the idea of "acquiring or adding".
In the same way, "khyā" implies "removal or subtraction".
These "san" are nothing else but dasa akusala (that lead to rebirth in the apayas) and also punna kamma (that lead to rebirths in the "good realms"); see, "Kusala and Akusala Kamma, Punna and Pāpa Kamma".
One may wonder why moral deeds or punna kamma are also included in "san". That is because they also lead to rebirths ("add" to sansāric journey).
However, one MUST do punna kamma in order to avoid rebirth in the apayas.
Nibbāna is attained via removal of defilements (rāga, dōsa, mōha), and thus Nibbāna is "rāgakkhaya", "dōsakkhaya", and "mōhakkhaya".
Those three words have roots in "khaya" or "subtraction or removal". For example, rāgakkhaya comes from "rāga" + "khaya", combined to be pronounced as rāgakkhaya.
Thus it is quite clear that rāgakkhaya means "removing rāga". Same for "dōsakkhaya", and "mōhakkhaya". Nibbāna is reached via getting rid of rāga, dōsa, and mōha.
We "add to" our rebirth process when we do "san". The Pali word for "doing" is "khāra" (Sinhala word is "kāra" or කාර). That is the origin of the word "sankhāra" ("san" + "khāra"); the Sinhala word is sankāra or සංකාර).
Translated: ""It is peaceful, it is serene, the expelling of all sankhāra, breaking of bonds, removing greed and hate; Nibbāna". So, it is quite clear that by stopping all sankhāra one attains Nibbāna.
Sankhāra involves EVERYTHING that we do to live in "this world" of 31 realms; these include breathing, walking, eating, pretty much everything. Even an Arahant has to be engaged in sankhāra until Parinibbāna or death.
Sankhāra become abhisankhāra by engaging in the "wheeling process"; see, "Nibbāna – Is it Difficult to Understand?". The sansāric process or the rebirth process is fueled by abhisankhāra.
The good things we acquire via alōbha, adōsa, amōha help gain rebirth in humān realm and above; these are punnābhisankhāra (or punna abhisankhāra). Here "punna" means "moral".
Thus, both kinds contribute to lengthening the rebirth process, but we DO need to do punnābhisankhāra for two reasons: (i) it prevents us from doing bad things, (ii) done with right intention, it will help purify our minds, i.e., punna kamma can become kusala kamma; see #18 below.
One becomes sanditthikō (one who is able to see "san" clearly) at the Sōtapanna Anugāmi stage.
When we see people, for example, we identify them according to our familiarity with them or based on our perceptions of them. We do not "see" the true nature of anything until Nibbāna is attained. Thus it is said that until we attain Nibbāna, we have distorted (vipareetha) saññā.
Don't worry about some of these deeper meanings, if you are not familiar with them. At least one is able to see a connection to the root word "san".
"Sanvarattena seelan" means moral behavior that comes automatically upon one becoming a Sanditthikō (a Sōtapanna Anugāmi or a Sōtapanna.
Sanvara sila will be automatically enforced 24 hours a day, not just on specific days, because it comes naturally, with understanding.
On the other hand, "Yam samādanam tam vatam", means observing the five precepts or eight precepts on specific days is just a ritual, or "vata". Such rituals are good starting points, but will be "upgraded to" Sanvara sila when one gains wisdom (paññā).
That of course comes from san + sāra, where "sāra" means fruitful. We do "san" willingly because we perceive them to be good ("sāra"), and thus get trapped in the rebirth process.
Note that sometimes it is natural to pronounce with the "m" sound; that is why it is mostly written "samsāra"; see more example in #15 below.
We have the wrong perception that "san" are good and fruitful. Thus one continues in the long rebirth process by doing sankhāra (and especially abhisansāra) with the wrong perception that those are fruitful.
It must be noted that "dhammā" here does not mean Buddha Dhammā, but dhammā in general; see, "What are Dhammā? – A Deeper Analysis".
Sangāyanā = san + gāyanā (meaning recite)= recite and categorize "san" (and ways to remove them) in organizing Dhammā for passing down to future generations. The first Sangāyanā was held to systematize his teachings, just 3 months after the Parinibbāna of the Buddha.
Samyutta Nikāya of the Tipitaka contains suttas that explain "san": "san" + "yutta", with "yuatta" meaning "connected with" (it rhymes as "samyutta"). Note that most English translations refer to Samyutta Nikāya as "Connected Discourses, but do not say connected to what.
Sanvēga (or "samvega") = san + vēga (meaning speed) = forceful, strong impulses arising due to "san".
Sanyōga (or "samyoga") = san + yōga (meaning bond) = bound together via "san".
Sansindheema = san + sindheema (meaning evaporate, remove) = removing san, for example, via the seven steps described in the Sabbāsava Sutta. This leads to nirāmisa sukha or Nibbānic bliss.
Sansun = san + sun (meaning destroy) = when "san" is removed ("sun" rhymes like soup) one's mind becomes calm and serene.
Sancetanā = san + cetanā = defiled intentions.
Samphassa = san + phassa = defiled sense contact.
Over 70 Pāli words with the "san" root are given at "List of "San" Words and Other Pāli Roots".
Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT Sanskrit that is closely related to the māgadhi language that the Buddha spoke, it is Sinhala (or Sinhalese) that is closely related to māgadhi (māgadhi= "maga" + "adhi" = Noble path).
17. Tipitaka was written in Pāli with Sinhala script; Pāli is a version of māgadhi suitable for writing down oral discourses in summary form suitable for transmission; see, "Preservation of the Dhamma". More posts on that at, "Historical Background".
Each Pāli word is packed with lot of information, and thus commentaries were written to expound the meaning of important Pāli words.
A good example is the key Pāli word "anicca". In Sanskrit it is "anitya", and this is what normally translated to English as "impermanence". But the actual meaning of anicca is very clear when one realizes that the Pāli word "icca" (pronounced "ichcha") means "this is what I like". Thus anicca has the opposite meaning ("na" + "icca") or "cannot keep it the way I like"; see, "Anicca, Dukkha, Anatta".
18. One is bound to this world of 31 realms because one has not removed the tendency to do dasa akusala. This can be stated in various ways: one's gati, āsava, anusaya, samyōjana, etc; see, "Conditions for the Four Stages of Nibbāna".
As long as one has any types of gati, āsava, anusaya, samyōjana, one has the ability to pile up more "san" or to do dasa akusala.
Once one removes the strongest of the dasa akusala (and especially the 10 types of micchā ditthi), one will be able to grasp the Tilakkhana.
Then one's punna kamma will become kusala kamma, leading to the four stages of Nibbāna. This is a subtle point, but is explained in simple terms in the post, "Is It Necessary for a Buddhist to Eliminate Sensual Desires?".

Today we sailed into the delightful Scandinavian city of Helsinki. Due to our delayed departure, we tried to make up time through the night but sadly could not so we stayed an extra 30 minutes again in Helsinki. Arrival in Helsinki is always interesting and I told the passengers of the unique entrance to the port. You have to sail through a break in the rocks which on some occasions I have seen the pilot leave the rudder amidships and running through at 10 knots the ship goes though by herself! This is because of the pressure fields that build up between the ship and the shore and they deflect the ship. Quite a spectacular show but I have to say it only comes with experience and have seen them do it.
However I remember my first time arriving in command all those years ago and it was quite disconcerting to watch the ship trundle along towards the rocks then at the last minute deflected away and around. It was really quite windy blowing us onto the quayside so I employed the use of tugs to help hold us up to the wind. But as usual, wanting to put the ship through her paces, I asked the pilot to keep the tug lines slack and I would use the engine and bowthruster to do this, which she did and the ship held up to 26 knots of wind on the beam, quite impressive. We were then shortly all fast, 30 minutes behind, just after 1000 but Jaquie, our shore excursion manager rearranged everything well.
With a number of tours going off today, it was a busy morning all around the ship. There was a great buzz in the air and guests were looking forward to getting off and exploring the wonders of Finland. The first tour to depart was for the many music enthusiasts on board the ship at the moment, the 'Sibelius Experience'. Taking in a tour of the city, guests were then driven through the lush scenic countryside to the house of the master composer. After being guided around the near perfectly preserved home, passengers were taken to Finland's main music institution to hear a wonderful recital of some of his greatest works.
The next shore excursion to depart from the Britannia lounge this morning was a trip to 'Old Town Porvoo'. Taking in Finland's most photographed sight, the red storehouses of the Porvoo; it gave all a fascinating glimpse the history of the proud nation. For something completely different there was the active 'Helsinki Highlights'. Set up for those who want to get out and about and see as much as they possibly can, this tour as the name suggests, took in the most famous monuments the city had to offer. If you were after something a little bit more relaxing, we had you covered with the stress free 'Helsinki Panoramic'. The charm and style of the 'White City of the North' unfolded before your eyes, as guests were transported around in a comfortable and well-appointed coach.
We departed, again in high winds but we manoeuvred around and set off for the wonderful city of St Petersburg. For tonight's entertainment, Guests were taken on a musical journey through the decades with our 'Music Legends' production show. Performing classic songs from Elton John, Elvis, right through to Tina Turner, this show had everybody's toes a tapping and hands a clapping to some of the greatest music of last century. All in all a great day was had on board the Saga Sapphire as we set sail for the wonders of St Petersburg.

Iowa coach: Caitlin Clark is POTY because 'we don't have 10 All-Americans'
(G Fiume/Maryland Terrapins/Getty Images)
Iowa coach Lisa Bluder thinks that sophomore standout Caitlin Clark should win National Player of the Year, giving her a resounding endorsement following Iowa's 104-80 win over No. 6 Michigan.
The upset win helped the Hawkeyes clinch a share of the Big Ten regular-season title. Clark put up 38 points on 11-of-18 shooting, adding 11 assists and six rebounds in the effort.
The performance followed ESPN giving a unanimous endorsement to South Carolina's Aliyah Boston for NPOY. Boston is averaging 16.8 points on 54 percent shooting alongside 11.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game for the consensus No. 1 team in the country.
The Gamecocks have been dominant throughout the season. Iowa, for its part, has knocked off three top-10 opponents over the last eight days.

"There's a lot of great players around America, no doubt. And I'm sure their coaches feel just as strongly about them as I do about Caitlin," Bluder said following the win. "But Caitlin is in a situation where she has the ball in her hands all the time. And when you have the ball in your hands all the time, you can make an impact in the game — you can also mess it up. There's a lot of responsibility with that. She has a direct effect on the game when she's out there."
Clark averaged 27.1 points on 45.3 percent shooting, eight rebounds and 8.1 assists during the regular season. It's the second-straight year that Clark has led the nation in points and assists.
On Sunday, Clark also extended her streak of at least 15 points and 5 assists to 18-straight games. The only DI players with longer streaks over the last 20 seasons are Trae Young and Ja Morant, who both now play in the NBA.
"We have great people around Caitlin," Bluder continued. "We have great basketball players. We don't have 10 All-Americans like some people do. And there is a difference on that. We play as a team, and we're very proud of that, but we don't have 10 All-Americans like other players do."

When most people hear about "Social Security benefits," the first thought that comes to mind is income for older people who have retired from work. It's true that the Social Security system provides a foundation of retirement income that permits seniors to live in dignity, with over 43 million retired workers receiving benefits each month.
However, the Social Security system is also the foundation of economic security for millions of family members of retired, disabled or deceased workers. In addition to retirement benefits, Social Security offers disability insurance protection to workers and their spouse and children, as well as life insurance that pays monthly benefits to dependents if the worker dies.
Join this webinar to learn more about the eligibility requirements for benefits for spouses and ex-spouses, children, and parents. About one American family in four receives income from Social Security benefits, and many more could receive this income if they knew they were eligible.
This webinar is designed for those who are new to Social Security benefits and others who want to learn more about the lesser-known aspects of the program.
This webinar took place on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET.
Advocates are preparing to respond to a new "public charge" rule from the Trump Administration that would put immigration status at risk if an immigrant seeks access to an array of programs that support health, nutrition, and economic stability.
If implemented, this rule would harm older immigrants, their families, and caregivers. The rule would make it much more difficult for U.S. citizens and residents to welcome aging parents or other family members into the country. Seniors and their families may be afraid to go to the doctor or get helping paying for food or rent. Additionally, many immigrant older adults work as caregivers for very low pay. This rule would make it harder for them to access benefits like Medicaid and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
Justice in Aging has a new fact sheet that provides an overview of the harms to older adults, their families, and caregivers that the Trump Administration's changes to the "public charge" rule pose. A California fact sheet provides an overview of these harms looking at California-specific data and programs.
Many people do not have enough work history to qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A benefits, however there is still an option for low-income individuals to get their Medicare Part A premiums paid.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a critical safety net program administered by the Social Security Administration that provides a very basic income to older adults and people with disabilities with no or very limited other income and resources. This webinar is designed for legal services and other advocates who are just getting started in the field and others who want to learn more about the essentials of the program.
A representative payee is a third party who is authorized to receive and manage Social Security payments for a beneficiary who isn't able to do so for themselves. Often, a creditor, such as a nursing facility or other residential facility can be appointed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to act as a representative payee. When creditors perform this function, conflicts can arise and there must be adequate consumer protections in place to protect the best interests of the beneficiary and the Social Security system.
A new Justice in Aging issue brief, Skilled Nursing Facilities and Other Creditors Acting as Representative Payees, dives into some of the conflicts that can arise and proposes ways to strengthen the oversight and protections within the representative payee system.
Because of the poor quality of his exams, many people who were examined by Dr. Frank Chen for their Social Security disability or SSI disability claim may now be able to have their disability claim reviewed if they request it. Notices were scheduled to go out on September 25, 2017 to over 4,000 people with closed claims, who may be eligible for some type of relief and will now need to decide whether to elect relief under the settlement. This training gives practical details of who is eligible for relief, what type of relief they are eligible for, and how to obtain relief. The settlement is very complex, and representatives will benefit from learning about the variations in the types of relief, depending on the status of a claim.

Pioneering Japanese musician Yukihiro Takahashi has died
Former Yellow Magic Orchestra drummer and lead vocalist Yukihiro Takahashi has died age 70.
The artist's office shared a statement with NHK confirming his death on January 11, referring to aspiration pneumonia as the cause. In 2020, Takahashi revealed that he had undergone treatment for brain cancer having previously experienced headaches.
Tokyo-born Takahashi launched his career in the 1970s, having been recruited to play drums in Sadistic Mika Band in 1972. Following the band's split three years later, he continued to play and record with other Japanese artists, building a relationship with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono. In 1978, the three formed pioneering synth-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra, now considered one of the most globally successful Japanese bands of all time.
Later in his career, Takahashi released a body of solo work, formed of albums and video game soundtracks, whilst simultaneously experimenting with acting.
Since the initial news broke via Yahoo! Japan, tributes have been pouring in for the Japanese musician on social media, with Takahashi's bandmate Ryuichi Sakamoto sharing a grey box:

Brooke Appointed On To Board Of Directors
Oldham Athletic (2004) AFC Limited are delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Brooke onto its Board of Directors.
Simon has been appointed to the Board as the representative of Trust Oldham following its recent AGM and ratification from the Football League.
A season ticket holder since 1988, Simon has been a pivotal figure at Trust Oldham since he joined the Trust Board last year. He runs an award-winning marketing agency with his partner having previously held senior positions in the telecoms, security and financial services industries. He has also won several business awards, and he speaks and writes on a range of business and marketing subjects.
Speaking about his appointment Simon said, "Since my dad first walked me through the Chaddy End turnstiles in 1986 this club has been a huge part of my life, and it has given me many wonderful experiences and great friends. I count myself extremely fortunate and privileged to be taking on this important role.
"Our fans are extremely loyal and the lifeblood of this club. They care so much and at heart just want a strong and thriving club for future generations of fans to enjoy as much as they do. They have voices and opinions that are heard and it is my job, alongside the supporters liaison officer and club staff, to ensure those are well represented in key discussions.
"I am well aware that this job is a difficult one, but it is one I relish. We have thousands of fans and thousands of opinions, so pleasing everyone all the time is going to be difficult. However, I've always approached each and every challenge with a positive attitude and I will be working as hard as I can to build on the most important partnership there is, which is between the club and the fans. From top to bottom the club is packed with Oldham fans who want nothing more than to bring the successful times back. I am looking forward to helping them all achieve that in whatever way I can."
On the changes that have been made at Trust Oldham, he said: "As a Trust we have reorganised and are focused on creating an inclusive and relevant organisation. After all, a strong Trust is good for the fans and ultimately good for our club. It is a privilege not many other football league clubs have. I would therefore urge all fans, season ticket holders or not, to join Trust Oldham and support the activities that are happening this season. For both the club and the Trust exciting times are ahead."
Commenting on the appointment for the club, Chairman Simon Corney said: "It is with pleasure that we welcome Simon onto the Board in his role as the representative of Trust Oldham. It is no secret that I have long wished that the Trust could play a more proactive role at our club and Simon has the qualities and experience to make this happen. We believe he will prove a valuable addition to the Board and his appointment will further strengthen the link between club and fans."


The Tokyo to Osaka film project made two short edits especially for GOOD Magazine.
In the summer of 2009, 13 cyclists from Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco took their fixies to the Land of the Rising Sun for an ambitious undertaking: A 350-mile tour from Tokyo to Osaka. Their goal (along with survival) was to experience a more intimate kind of travel and make a documentary of their adventure.
Their forthcoming film, Tokyo to Osaka, will chronicle their seven-day journey, including the mechanical problems and injuries that tripped them up and the unexpected roadside barbeques and new friendships that made a cycling trip such a rewarding way to travel.

Cornerback Darrelle Revis to Sign With New York Jets
By Sports Illustrated
Free-agent cornerback Darrelle Revis has agreed sign with the New York Jets, his agents announced Tuesday.
The contract is expected to include more than $40 million in guaranteed money, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Revis became a free agent after the New England Patriots declined to pick up the $20 million option on his contract for this season. Revis, 29, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Jets before the team traded him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013.
Trump Cheered Loudly at College Football Title Game
Patriots' Julian Edelman Arrested for Vandalism
The Buccaneers released Revis last March, and the Patriots signed him to a two-year contract that paid Revis $12 million in 2014.
NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday that the Patriots and Revis continued to try to negotiate a deal. The Cleveland Browns also reportedly expressed interest in Revis.
Revis is considered one of the best cornerbacks in the league. The 29-year-old has earned four Pro Bowl nods and four first-team All Pro selections.
In 16 starts last season, Revis recorded two interceptions, 16 passes defended and 50 tackles.
