I am a woman, well trained by her Mother.
dusters made of outgrown undershirts.
of shared manliness with Dad.
still what we do does not define our gender.
to create and birth new beings.
then two boys arrive…my joys.
SHE is something else entirely.
SHE unearths renewal in me.
that dance, step in only when she asks.
strength and intellect, all hers to claim.
She is powerful in her personhood.
for staying close with video chat.
Truth is, like many artists, poets are just scraping by financially. We cannot afford to hire editors, so we take risks, perhaps believing a little too strongly in our guts, our grammar, and our attentiveness. How hard can it be, we think. Well done, we say. It will be…fine, we whisper as we drift off to sleep having pressed "submit" again, with some hesitation and a little bit of angst.
Deep down we are not entirely sure, but we bravely do what we have to do, which can lead to embarrassing moments. Like the time I spelled the publisher's surname incorrectly, or saw a clear lack of punctuation upon my 1st read, right after submission! My personal challenges often come in the form of it's and its, and my deep and abiding love for the Oxford comma that ripples out, abundantly.
Or, most recently, after several months of design, planning, and (several) eyes on every comma, word, line break, title, font, layout, selection of hardware, paper, packaging, and marketing approach, I felt I was finally ready to put my poetry/art books together.
I painstakingly built one hundred copies of the book, tightened each Chicago screw, placed each stainless steel washer, organized flash card covers into fun and witty combinations, collated stacks of poetry on beautiful cream paper (professionally laid out and printed and drilled with holes for the screws), hand tinted each vintage illustration, and felt a sense of progress and fulfillment at the growing pile of books.
Then I went online to put the finishing touches on the announcement for my book launch. As I typed in the title of my poetry/art book, I felt a niggling. I spell checked a word, and it was correctly spelled…yea, me! But the niggling didn't go away. And then it hit me…there, blatant, unchecked, WRONG…was a word. On every title page of every book that I just spent days putting together, was a spelling mistake!
First anger. Then blaming. Then another hissy fit because it was so OBVIOUSLY WRONG and I missed it…we all missed it… but I MISSED IT! And then the creative problem solving began…what if this, or what if that, in an attempt to save it somehow…but I could not. It was WRONG. It had to change. Then my gratitude to God that I saw the mistake before my book was sold!
Yes, indeed. Gratitude. Two hundred times I unscrewed those Chicago screws. One hundred times I removed the offending page and, after paying my printer a substantial amount of money for a one page reprint, one hundred times I replaced the page with the corrected title page. And then I tightly bound the book with the turn of two hundred more Chicago screws! Editor, I am obviously not. Life learner, yes I am. And my thumb and index finger were throbbing proof!
What would I do differently next time? I don't know, I run a tight ship, so I still can't afford an editor. Or, maybe I can? Maybe we could barter something? Or, maybe if I sell all of MY POETRY/ART BOOKS (limited edition, signed, numbered, unique, collectible, fun) I can afford an editor for my next project?
Have you got a copy of POETRY PRIMER yet? If you live in Kelowna, delivery is free!
Bottom line is, it's all the same. While BUDDY BREATHING has always been more personal and journalistic, and PUP is for the purpose of tracking a process, it's still just me. My thoughts and actions are interconnected.
So, if you missed it yesterday, here's THE POST over at Pop-Up-Poetry.
463. grace enough to recognize I've veered from the thankful path for several months, and I can step back on, right now.
* As I explained back at the beginning, the concept of naming one thousand gifts is not mine, it is one that I learned in the pages of Ann Voskamp's book "One Thousand Gifts". The website of the same name can be found here. When I spoke of her book here on my blog post "Soon and very soon we are going to see", I implored you to run out and buy a copy of Ann's book. If you haven't done that yet… PLEASE DO! I have since bought a couple more copies, given them away, continued to read and re-read my copy, and realized a deep call on my heart to begin to write down and name and own a thankfulness around the things that God fills my eyes and heart with each moment of every day.
466. not having any answers but finding some small words of love and kindness for the hurting ones, when your heart is heavy yet nothing compared to the weight they carry.
467. family… young and old, active and still active, sitting around the table as the light goes down and the stars come out and the conversation continues… being able to remember those times today when the house is empty of all of them.
468. gainful employment for the guys, youth camp for the girl, good things coming to us undeserved.
469. doors opened and closed, perspective for both.
470. another day to Carpe Diem!
471. losing track of the numbers and focusing on the listing of good gifts.
472. the words of others that fill my heart, poke me in the ribs, get me thinking.
473. a few bits of poetry paper pinned to trees and lights and benches and the potential for words to settle into the lives of others.
475. creative ideas and bouncing them off others and how their ideas melded with yours are so much better.
476. things to look forward to.
All is as it should be, SDG.
1. A worthy pursuit is capturing JOY (and HOPE) and sharing it with others. Buddy Breathing is about sharing HOPE. An example of sharing JOY is Jump for Joy, a 'project' blog by a Canadian born photographer. Her project is to capture photos of people expressing joy while leaping into the air! People from all over the world, including many Canadians. I smiled often at her photos, proof that JOY (and HOPE) is contagious!
3. So, here we are mid Christmas season and feeling a tad… bored? It happens when so much emphasis is placed on prep for THE DAY, and then THE DAY comes and goes and there isn't much to do anymore. You'd think we'd be happy about this. Why is relaxing into the moment so difficult? But it is. Have we forgotten already the magic of a winter's evening on the ice… just last week?
4. Poetry… how best to share it, market it, send it out into the world to live and breathe. Many differing opinions, many options to consider and do nothing about getting it out there. So, 2013 is the year of setting my poetry free (publishing). I begin by attending a Patrick Lane January workshop at Honeymoon Bay on Vancouver Island, more learning, more writing and serious goal setting. Then the rubber hits the road. Writing is work. Writing poetry is work. Selling poetry will be even more work. As always, you'll be the first to know the details!!!
5. Naming gifts has been something sustaining this year. Beginning with reading Anne Voskamps book, One Thousand Gifts, and awakening my soul to gratitude in every great and small thing in my first naming post, I managed to name 445 gifts in just over 6 months. Not 1000, but well on my way. A daily naming would get me there, but that's not the point. For me it's about remembering to be thankful, and that's not full time or all the time, but the sometimes that are slowly growing closer together.
Thank you for the path you've walked alongside me this 2012. It's a privilege to write for you and imagine you reading my words, considering things I mention, and I get SO EXCITED when some dear person says something back to me! My heart LEAPS! May you continue to find HOPE here, and beneath it all, the foundation of God bearing up the life of this very ordinary woman.
well fluffed against the chill.
Inspiration of Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
I write because… I feel better when I do, worse when I don't, especially during the grey days of February. I feel like I'm supposed to write, that it fulfills something in me when I do. Writing is cathartic, gets the inside out, stops the slow simmer-spiral down, provides the occasional epiphany, allows for conversations to develop, promotes transparency, builds bridges, finds community. All that and more.
But where I write/publish (and what is safe, yes, there is a very real element of professional safety involved around potential copyright infringement etc.) and what disqualifies me from further publishing of my thoughts-work-art is a very real concern these days. It causes a bit of angst for me and I don't quite know what to do about it.
This year, when CBC announced their annual "Canada Writes Contest", rules clearly stated that any work previously published in any form, including on the internet, was not eligible for submission. Bummer. Big bummer. And I've noticed an increasing number of Literary Publications that have this qualification in their submission guidelines.
Yikes, I thought… so much for blogging my poetry, my essays, my words, when it is clearly disqualifying me from serious literary activities. Or, does that really matter?
There is an inherent tension in the life of an artist… the hard wired need to express what and who you are, and then while you are busy doing just that, at some point, the thought crosses your mind and then becomes a small voice repeating itself over and over, expressing the need to expose your work to others. Then to further complicate things, the dawning realization that the 'work' of getting projects out there to others is quite complex and filled with dead ends and wrought with politics and costs and the days and the weeks and the years pass and you suddenly wonder, if this traditional route of getting out there is really working, is really worth all the trouble… I mean, is it? What is the point of writing if nobody is ever going to read what you write?
I used to share my poetry openly and with abandon here on my blog. Tuesday Poems were… every Tuesday gifts to whomever dropped by to read them. Then after the "Canada Writes" disappointment, a bit of fear set in, and I reluctantly quit posting poems. The haunting question remains… what if I'm giving it all away for free (because poets can expect to make big bucks once they are famous, right!!!), what if publishers consider any form of any draft poem published online out out out of the question too. Simultaneous submissions aside, if it's online and free for all to see, then would any discriminating publisher want it? Would they?
It's feels like a gift has been given (the world wide web way of sharing words/art/ourselves) and then taken back. And that really isn't a very nice thing to do, whether it's a pony or a candy or an opportunity? How is posting online any different from reading work aloud in public places? Or posting broadsheet billboards of my poetry old school style on posts and walls and street signs? Or, sending a hand written poem to a friend? If I share my written work any way whatsoever, is it considered used and tired and not worth publishing in a traditional sense? I'm confused. And a little bit angry.
I'm just laying this all out there today, in hopes of starting a conversation, discussion, around this topic. What do you think? What are the underlying issues?

The fact is that 30% of new businesses won't survive even 2 years. Those are some startling statistics that can make entrepreneurs think twice about their business. But by attending entrepreneur training courses, you can get all the tools you need to make sure that your business is one of the few that doesn't fail.
Following are some ways that entrepreneur training courses can help adults and students alike.
1. Learn from the Best: It's all about learning from the best. No entrepreneur – no matter how talented – can know everything about everything. They have to make mistakes before they can move forward. The problem is that these mistakes can be costly and could destroy your business.
Attending entrepreneur training courses with talented, experienced teachers can give you a chance to learn from those who have already made mistakes. They can tell you how to avoid making those same mistakes and escaping the consequences if you've already made them.
2. Make Connections: There's so much more to entrepreneur training courses than sitting in a room listening to someone lecture you. Many attendees say the biggest benefits they get is meeting people just like them. The life of an entrepreneur can be a lonely one, especially when you aren't surrounded by an established community. One way around this is to make connections from outside your usual circles.
3. Learn How to Handle Disruptions: Whenever major disruptions happen to an industry, there are always those entrepreneurs who are completely taken by surprise. It leads to them having to make quick changes, or their business simply fails without them understanding what's happened. Entrepreneur training courses can give them some truths that they would have otherwise never learned and a chance to plan and prepare for the changes ahead.
4. Get Inspiration: Perhaps the biggest benefit of entrepreneur training courses is the chance to be inspired by what you see. If you're surrounded by the same people and the same issues all the time it's easy to find your creativity growing stale. The fact is your creativity has to be fed with new sources every so often.
5. You've Got Nothing to Lose. No matter what industry you're in, you're almost guaranteed to pick up something if you attend entrepreneur training courses. From integrating tech into your business to finding out what your customers want, there are so many potential benefits.
It's a fact that you won't ever learn to swim by attending seminars on swimming. The same holds true for becoming an entrepreneur – it's best learned through experience. Within our entrepreneur training courses, we use venture creation as the medium to help participants develop an entrepreneurial mindset and skill set, which will serve them in their future projects, their careers, and – for some of them – their startups.
If you are interested in getting a richer and happier life, please join one of our briefing sessions that are being held throughout the country. I sincerely look forward to your participation. Click here to register today or call us for more information.

Whitefield ist der Name einer Town im Coös County des US-Bundesstaates New Hampshire in Neuengland. Das U.S. Census Bureau hat bei der Volkszählung 2020 eine Einwohnerzahl von 2.490 ermittelt. Whitefield liegt in den "Great North Woods" im Norden des Staates. Whitefield war die letzte unter englischer Verwaltung erteilte Siedlungskonzession. Sie wurde am 4. Juli 1774 erteilt, zwei Jahre vor Annahme der  Unabhängigkeitserklärung. Das Gebiet Whitefields wurde durch die Vermessung der umliegenden, bereits vergebenen Siedlungsgebiete bestimmt. Es umfasst Land, das zwischen diesen Gemeinden übrig blieb und zu keiner davon gehörte.

Geographie
Whitefield liegt nordwestlich der White Mountains. An Whitefield grenzen Lancaster im Norden, Jefferson und Carroll im Osten, Bethlehem im Süden sowie Dalton im Westen. Einziger Ort neben Whitefield ist Hazens. Durch Whitefield fließt der Johns River, der in Dalton in den Connecticut River mündet.

Geschichte
Das Gebiet von Whitefield war gut zu kultivieren, reich an Kiefern und im Norden sumpfig. Die Geschichte der permanenten Besiedlung beginnt mit der Beantragung der Siedlungskonzession am 12. April 1773. Zu den Antragstellern gehörten unter anderen Benning und Paul Wentworth, Verwandte des damaligen Gouverneurs. Gut ein Jahr später am 4. Juli 1774 wurde die Konzession bewilligt. Dabei steht der Name in der Urkunde dreimal im Plural als Whitefields auf. Im Herbst 1774 wurde Whitefield zum ersten Mal vermessen. Dabei wurde ein Weg von Bethlehem nach Lancaster markiert, indem Bäume gekennzeichnet wurden. Dies war der erste Ansatz von Straßeneinrichtung. 1795, inmitten der Spannungen zwischen England und den Kolonien, kam es in Whitefield zu einem umfangreichen Landverkauf, nachdem mehrere Landinhaber infolge der Auseinandersetzungen ihre Ansprüche nicht mehr wahrnehmen oder konnten. Aus politischen Gründen nicht imstande oder nicht gewillt, die Steuern für ihren Besitz zu bezahlen, wurde dieser am 18. Juni des Jahres zwangsversteigert, noch ehe die ersten Siedler eintrafen. In mehreren Eigentümerversammlungen wurden Grundstücke aufgeteilt und zugewiesen. Das letzte dieser Treffen fand am 11. Juli 1809 in Lancaster statt.

Die ersten Siedler kamen um 1802 nach Whitefield. 1805 wurde beschlossen, eine Schule einzurichten. Das erste Schulgebäude war ein Blockhaus. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war bereits eine Straße von Lancaster in Richtung Plymouth angelegt worden. 1815 wurde eine Straße nach Jefferson angelegt, und ein Jahr später beschloss die Gemeindeversammlung, eine Straße von Dalton im Westen nach Carroll im Osten zu bauen, das damals noch den Namen Bretton Woods führte.
Am 25. Mai 1804 wurde der Antrag gestellt, als unabhängige, selbstverwaltete Gemeinde eingetragen zu werden. Das Repräsentantenhaus New Hampshires stimmte am 20. Juni des Jahres dafür, dem Antrag statt zu geben, und am 1. Dezember 1804 wurde Whitefield als Town registriert. Zugleich wurde die Schreibweise, auf Bitten der Einwohner, offiziell als Whitefield festgeschrieben, nachdem davor auch die Schreibweise Whitefields in Gebrauch gewesen war. Der Name bezieht sich möglicherweise auf Reverend George Whitefield, der zur damaligen Zeit eine den meisten Konzessionären bekannte Persönlichkeit und kurz zuvor verstorben war. Die erste Gemeindeversammlung vor Ort fand am 12. März 1805 statt. 1826 entstand eine Congregationalistengemeinde mit sechs Mitgliedern, doch es gab bis 1859 keinen ortsansässigen Geistlichen, obwohl es neben den Congregationalisten auch eine methodistische Gemeinde gab. Nach 1874 bauten die Baptisten eine Kirche. Daneben hatte Whitefield Mitte des Jahrhunderts neun Schulbezirke, zwei Säge- und eine Kornmühle sowie ein Postamt. 1869 erreichte die Bahnstrecke von Woodsville nach Groveton Whitefield Junction. Danach wurde von dort eine Waldbahn in Richtung Jefferson gebaut, die von 1878 bis 1879 auf Normalspur umgebaut und bis 1893 nach Berlin verlängert wurde. Der Personenverkehr auf dieser Strecke wurde 1961 eingestellt.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Hazens
Im 19. Jahrhundert war Hazen eine eigene kleine Gemeinde, mit Kirche, Postamt, Bahnhof an der Strecke von Whitefield nach Berlin und eigener Schule. Name und Begründung gehen zurück auf Louis und Lucius Hazen aus Vermont. Sie kauften sich 1870 in eine örtliche Holzgesellschaft ein und ließen sich im späteren Hazen als Farmer und Rancher nieder. 1880 hatte sich ein kleines Dorf entwickelt, mit 15 Häusern, Postamt, Bahnhof, Schmiede und Schule, das vollständig im Besitz der Familie Hazen war. Der John's River wurde aufgestaut, um Wasser für die Farm zu speichern und der Gemeinde zur Erholung zu dienen. Hazen züchtete zudem Rennpferde und legte eine Rennstrecke an. Später fand auf dem Gelände die erste Grafton & Coös County Grange Fair statt. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde dort ein Flugplatz angelegt.

Infrastruktur und Gemeindeeinrichtungen
Die Polizei von Whitefield ist gemeindeeigen und in Vollzeit tätig, Feuerwehr und medizinische Notfallversorgung erfolgen durch Freiwillige. Die Wasserversorgung übernimmt ein Wasserbetrieb, die Abwasserentsorgung erfolgt teils mittels privater Tanks, teils durch die Gemeinde, die ein Klärwerk betreibt. Whitefield hat eine Bibliothek, die Whitefield Public Library, eine Grund- und eine Oberschule sowie eine Kinderbetreuungseinrichtung.

Verkehr
In Whitefield kreuzen die New Hampshire State Routes NH-116 und NH-142 die US-3. Die Bahnstrecke über Waumbek Junction und Lancaster nach Groveton ist in Betrieb, ebenso die Strecke von Lunenburg nach Portland. Im Ortsteil Hazen liegt der Mount Washington Regional Airport mit asphaltierter Landebahn. Der nächstgelegene Flughafen mit Linienverkehr ist der Lebanon Municipal Airport in Lebanon.

Last week, we had dinner at a restaurant where you get a fortune cookie. Mine read: "Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching." It made me think back to some statements that I have heard from several people in my past. I would like to share some of these with you this week and see it they might have some impact on your life like they have had on mine.
When I was very young and a lot smaller, my Momma told me: "You cannot have two sets of manners, one for public situations and one for home." What you do in your public, or business, life cannot be different from what you do in your private life. If you try to separate the two lives that you have, you will fail to do so and both lives will suffer. You cannot have a public persona for your business and a private one at home or outside of business. You are representing your business and your private life at all times, and people notice both.
My high school senior English teacher taught us: "Everyone must be able to express themselves in public." Last week we discussed that you are marketing yourself if you are speaking before a group of people or if you are having a conversation with one other person. You must be able to speak in intelligent, grammatically correct terms and be able to articulate your thoughts in a sincere manner to whomever you are speaking. All situations are equally important opportunities for you.
My Daddy told me: "When you tell people the truth, you don't have to remember what you have said." In other words, when you lie, or misrepresent yourself, your product, your service, or your pricing, you have to remember what you have said and to whom. I realize that companies sometimes change their pricing or product line; that is reasonable and acceptable. However, when someone changes what they say almost by the hour or with each person with whom they are speaking, there is a problem. I have actually heard someone revise their pricing multiple times during a single conversation.
Bob Burg, in his books, Endless Referrals and The Go Giver, teaches us: "People do business with, and refer business to, people that they know, like, and trust." How do we accomplish this type of situation? We must build relationships with those people we meet, allowing both parties to learn about each other, decide if we like each other, and develop a trust level where we can risk our reputations on referrals. Your networking partners, with whom you have built relationships, will be your walking, talking marketing representatives.
Going back to my high school days, I knew an Army officer, Major Jack Cook. He taught me: "Anything worth doing at all is worth doing right the first time. When you have to redo anything, you first have to undo the damage caused by the first mistake that you made." While we all make mistakes, we all should attempt to do everything right the first time, to the best of our ability. If we make an honest mistake, take responsibility for it, fix it with everyone involved, and take public steps to reassure everyone how it will not be repeated. Learn from your mistakes.
Have you had anyone teach you anything by what they have said to you in your past? Have you remembered and applied what they said to you? Please leave me your comments, or email me at Jim@SOC4Now.com, or call me at 360-314-8691. We learn from our past experiences and from what others say to us. Remember that when you speak to others; your words may have an impact on their lives for a long time.

The Royal Architecture Institute of Canada (RAIC) have announced that Li Xiaodong has been awarded the inaugural Moriyama International Prize, named after esteemed Canadian architect Raymond Moriyama. The prize, which comes with a monetary value of CAD$100,000, has been established to recognise buildings that are judged to be "transformative, inspired as well as inspiring, and emblematic of the human values of respect and inclusiveness."
The jury deliberated projects submitted from nine countries: Canada, China, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and Tajikistan. According to the citation, the jury was "impressed by the breadth of international interest in the prize and encouraged by the high level of engagement with the aims and objectives of the program revealed in the submissions." The prize is open to all architects irrespective of nationality and location and seeks to recognise a single work of architecture (as opposed to a life's work), celebrating buildings in use.

from IMVA Website
Most fine doctors like Dr. Ben Goldacre like to have all the available facts about a prescription drug before prescribing it.
However, when it comes to pharmaceutical medicines, it's nearly impossible to find real data, so doctors really never know the true dangers about the drugs they use.
Not only are they not sure about the side effects and the possibility of death but they are also not sure whether or not the drug will help the patient at all. In short, modern medicine is based on research fraud and we find doctors and medical officials, including the FDA, abandoning their public health mission by revolving everything they do and promote around pharmaceutical interests.
Anything non-pharmaceutical in nature is patently condemned.
In a study published in Nature in March 2012, researchers tried to replicate the results of 53 basic preclinical cancer studies.
Of those 53 studies, only six were replicable. In his new book, Bad Pharma, Dr. Goldacre sounds a warning bell on the fact that drug manufacturers are the ones who fund trials of their own products.
One of the most widely recognized and true tests of scientific proof is when these studies showing positive results can be and are replicated by independent researchers (not researchers chosen or paid by the drug manufacturer providing the original finding).
"Drugs are tested by the people who manufacture them in poorly designed trials, on hopelessly small numbers of weird, unrepresentative patients, and analyzed using techniques that are flawed by design, in such a way that they exaggerate the benefits of treatments," writes Goldacre in his book.
"When trials throw up results that companies don't like, they are perfectly entitled to hide them from doctors and patients, so we only ever see a distorted picture of any drug's true effects."
This dishonest, inaccurate and incomplete representation of many of the pharmaceutical drugs coming to market is what most doctors are basing their holy allopathic medical practices on.
What kind of medical science do we have when negative scientific information is not published, not accessible to practitioners, denied, repressed and simply not included in medical conclusions?
This is a systematic flaw in the core of medicine.
Dr. Ben Goldacre
Erick Turner did a survey, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, of all the antidepressant trials filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration.
There were 38 studies that produced positive results and 36 that produced negative results. Of the positive-result group, 37 of the studies were published. Of the negative results group, only three were published.
Almost every day we are hearing medical horror stories that should completely frighten the public away from their doctors' offices. The latest scare was in October of 2012 where U.S. health officials ramped up warnings about a Massachusetts specialty pharmacy linked to a widening outbreak of a rare kind of meningitis, urging doctors and hospitals not to use any products from the company.
Investigators found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., according to Food and Drug Administration officials. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak that has sickened 35 people in six states.
Five of them have died. All received steroid shots for back pain. Almost everyday we hear another grim report of another death.
Medical and pharmaceutical science should be able to identify an appropriate mechanism and what the active ingredient might be for each drug that doctors are supposed to use.
The problem is that they cannot do this without their fraudulent research, clinical trials and even FDA approval.
Orthodox Cancer Treatments Don't Treat Cancer
I have always said that orthodox oncologists use treatments and diagnostic procedures that cause cancer to treat and diagnose cancer.
A perfect example is mammography.
Every mammogram a woman gets increases her risk of breast cancer by 5% [1],[2] due to the radiation involved and mammograms frequently lead to over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatment.
Most people sense that modern oncology is very dangerous. What is most terrible about it though is that treatments are in no way intended to target the cause or causes of cancer so even though the cancer industry is constantly talking about finding the "cure," that's the last thing on their agenda. The only treatments oncologists have to offer are therapies that do not treat cancer but rather make the person sicker and ultimately die a more horrible death.
Various analyses show that past media coverage often gave incorrect messages about the complexity of breast cancer, the age at which women are at highest risk, the progress made and the importance of early detection.
Fran Visco, the president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, believes the solution lies in science - specifically, in studying how breast cancer develops and metastasizes.
"We get sidetracked by efforts to focus on getting every woman a mammogram," she recently told The Daily Beast.
"We could screen every woman in the world, and we would not have stopped breast cancer. I am not saying to stop funding for screening; however, we cannot afford to make it a main focus."
Recent research indicates that the cause of cancer has very little to do with genetics.
We know some basic things about why cancer starts. We know it is initiated under low-oxygen conditions. We know that it is initiated also by trauma and especially by inflammation. We know with low-oxygen conditions and inflammation we have infectious agents running around out of control.
So we have low O2, low CO2, low pH (acidity) and low cellular energy; we have infection hordes fighting for their existence.
Mix in some inflammation, heavy-metal and chemical contamination and nutritional deficiency (along with some genetic disruption) and we have the recipe for CANCER - a beast that is eating the human race alive starting with the old but now increasingly working its way down to the young and very young where death should not be lurking.
Does chemotherapy or radiation treat this condition?
Does it treat cancer?
Does it kill cancer when it provokes more of it?
There is nothing real about orthodox oncology.
How such inaccurate ideas like those of modern oncology could be born in an intelligent race of beings is beyond comprehension.
A new MIT study offers a comprehensive look at chemical and genetic changes that occur as inflammation progresses to cancer. One of the biggest risk factors for liver, colon or stomach cancer is chronic inflammation of those organs, often caused by viral or bacterial infections.
In 2008 researchers in France found that one in six cancers are caused by treatable infections.[3]
Hepatitis B and C viruses
Human papillomaviruses,
...were responsible for 1.9 million cases, mainly gastric, liver, and cervix uteri cancers.
In women, cervix uteri cancer accounted for about half of the infection-related burden of cancer; in men, liver and gastric cancers accounted for more than 80%.
Around 30% of infection-attributable cases occur in people younger than 50 years.
The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine tells us that,
"Tumor promotion and progression are dependent on ancillary processes provided by cells of the tumor environment but that are not necessarily cancerous themselves. Inflammation has long been associated with the development of cancer.
This review will discuss the reflexive relationship between cancer and inflammation with particular focus on how considering the role of inflammation in physiologic processes such as the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair may provide a logical framework for understanding the connection between the inflammatory response and cancer.[4]"
"It is believed that cancer is caused by an accumulation of mutations in cells of the body," says Dr. Carlo M. Croce, professor and chair of molecular virology, immunology and medical genetics.
"Our study [5] suggests that miR-155, which is associated with inflammation, increases the mutation rate and might be a key player in inflammation-induced cancers generally."
This and many other studies show how inflammation can help cause cancer.
Chronic inflammation due to infection or to conditions such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease is associated with up to 25% of all cancers.
Chemotherapy and radiation only make inflammation worse! These are not instruments of cancer treatment and everyone knows that they have nothing to do with cancer cures, which are illegal anyway.
The best they can say is that these treatments can extend your life beyond their predictions of what would happen to you if you did not treat it in any coherent way.
"Pre-malignant tumors are 'wound-like'. Such tumors are similar to healing or desmoplastic tissue in many ways, such as the presence of activated platelets. As described by Coussens and Hanahan, tumor growth may be 'biphasic'.
In the first phase, the body treats early tumors as wounds. This phase is characterized by tumor growth mediated by the actions of the stroma 'indirect control' as occurs in physiologic tissue repair." [6]
Are chemotherapy and radiation appropriate treatments for wounds?
The most amazing thing about these treatments is that many do survive these treatments, showing us how resilient the human body really is.
Cancer Cures vs. Cancer Death
Doctors rarely talk about "curing" cancer.
Instead, the success of treatment is judged on whether a patient is alive five, 10 and 15 years after diagnosis. It is amazing that, after all the slashing, burning and poisoning that oncologists do, survival rates are actually up a little. For instance at the turn of the decade the statistics for England and Wales show that the five-year survival rate for all cancers in men is 31%, while for women the survival rate is 43%.
The figures are similar for Scotland. Today though still dismal, they are somewhat better.
But are they really better? Certainly they would like us to think so but one of the reasons for this is statistics.
As Mark Twain said:
"There lies, damned lies and statistics."
The statistics look better because they don't put down that the person has died of cancer when they have died of the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
"Recently a friend of mine died from rectal cancer and his wife was stunned to see that the cancer was the third cause of death on the death certificate after the infection and other problems caused by the treatment," wrote one of my readers.
This would not have been counted as a cancer death.
Also when a person is treated for breast cancer and it moves from the breast to another area, but they live five years after the breast cancer has been diagnosed, it is recorded as a survival from breast cancer.

[2] One percent of American women carry a hard-to-detect oncogene, which is triggered by radiation; a single mammogram increases their risk of breast cancer by a factor of 4-6 times. "The usual dose of radiation during a mammographic x-ray is from 0.25 to1 rad with the very best equipment; that's 1-4 rads per screening mammogram (two views each of two breasts). And, according to Samuel Epstein, M.D., of the University of Chicago's School of Public Health, the dose can be ten times more than that. Sister Rosalie Bertell-one of the world's most respected authorities on the dangers of radiation-says one rad increases breast cancer risk one percent and is the equivalent of one year's natural aging. "If a woman has yearly mammograms from age 55 to age 75, she will receive a minimum of 20 rads of radiation. For comparison, women who survived the atomic bomb blasts in Hiroshima or Nagasaki absorbed 35 rads. Though one large dose of radiation can be more harmful than many small doses, it is important to remember that damage from radiation is cumulative." http://rense.com/general48/mam.htm

Princess Charlotte may not be titled 'Princess Royal' when William becomes King
The royal will have to wait to inherit her new title... - by Nikki Black
When Prince William is crowned King, the royal family are in for a fair few changes.
First, Kate Middleton will be named Queen Consort or 'Queen Catherine', Prince George will bump up a spot in the line of succession to the British throne, and Princess Charlotte will become the Princess Royal - BUT the young royal won't inherit the title straight away.
The title of Princess Royal is already held by a member of the royal family, so Charlotte cannot inherit the title until it's available.
'The title of Princess Royal is traditionally bestowed on the eldest daughter of the monarch,' royal expert and author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story Duncan Larcombe tells TownandCountrymag.com, pointing out that Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II's eldest daughter, is the current Princess Royal.
Larcombe adds, 'It is a title that remains for life, so Princess Charlotte will have to wait at least until the death of the current Princess Royal.'
However, even after Princess Anne's death, there is no guarantee that Charlotte will adopt the title.
Larcombe claims it will then be up to Charlotte's father, William, to decide if and when Charlotte gets the title.
This is not a new tradition, as Princess Anne also had to wait for the title - over 20 years to be exact.
'Princess Anne had to wait until 1987 before her mother the Queen bestowed the title of Princess Royal on her, even though the title had been vacant since 1965,' Larcombe says.
The title previously belonged to Princess Mary, eldest and only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, who was Princess Royal from 1897 to 1965.

Please release me
Here's the thing about Ty Segall. The dude is absolutely relentless. If he's not touring, he's constantly writing and recording. Segall is nothing, if not prolific. Adding to his already expanded catalogue of material, the garage-psych-fuzz wunderkind is gearing up to release a new record this year (Manipulator). And starting in August (well, he's doing one show in June), he's going to tour the shit out of that LP 'til the end of the year. The album drops on Aug. 26, but you can head over to NME for tour dates, tracklisting and whatnot. Also, you can view an album teaser below. Enjoy ...
Even though I don't consider myself a fan of The New Pornographers, I did have the privilege to interview band member A.C. Newman for my college paper. He proved to be kind and thoroughly interesting, which is basically all you want out of an interview. So it's nice to see the band still going strong. At least strong enough that they're coming out with a new record (Brill Bruisers) Aug. 26, and to give people a taste of what that LP will entail, they've made an album track available. So to hear that, and to read more info on said record, head over to Billboard.
Spoon was one of those rock bands that completely went over my head. But living in Austin, Texas, it was hard not to hear about them. Upon getting the chance to see them at ACL a few years back, I opted to see Gnarls Barkley instead, and I've never regretted it. Now the Texan group are releasing a new record (They Want My Soul), and they've shared a snippet in the form of the song "Rent I Pay," which you can hear below via an unofficial video. Don't know if officiality is a priority to you, but there you have it. As for the release date: Buy it on Aug. 5.
Like most people, my only tidbit of knowledge surrounding Kimbra was her guest vox on the hit track "Somebody That I Used to Know," as made famous by the probably-über-rich Gotye. But Kimbra has her own solo career, her own songs, her own identity, y'all. And if you haven't listened to her yet, her upcoming record (The Golden Echo) might be a good place to start. Some guest musicians include Van Dyke Parks (!), Omar Rodríguez López (from now-defunct Mars Volta) and John Legend, among others. That drops Aug. 19, but for more deets, head over to Pitchfork.
Here's another new album to look forward to, folks: It's Weezer's upcoming record Everything Will be Alright in the End. Produced by the Cars' Ric Ocasek, no release date has been announced. But what does that matter? You should just get excited that the group is coming out with some new material. View an album teaser below.
Former Burqueño Willis Earl Beal has decided to leave XL Recordings. In an interview with Under the Radar, Beal basically said the direction he's going and the direction of the label were like two separate roads, one road wandering toward a more "trendy" atmosphere, while he wants his music to walk the road less traveled, to be its own entity. Mind you, those are my interpretations, not actual pieces of the interview. But he's coming out with a new record (Experiments in Time) on Aug. 8, and that will be released independently. Read more about it here.
Good news for good news lovers
A friend of mine introduced me to the song "Ferris Wheel" by Possessed By Paul James years ago. And that's really the only thing I've heard, and the only thing I've ever cared about when his name is brought up. It's beautiful. It's heartbreaking. It's songwriting at its finest. And Konrad Wert, the man behind the moniker, is playing Low Spirits on Wednesday, June 25. And why am I so jazzed about this? Because I'll get to hear this song from the man himself. From his own lips. Listen to that below, and see why it's essential for me to attend this concert.
It's no secret that punk bands haven't exactly been chart-toppers. I mean, isn't that one of the requirements of being a successful punk band … no success? So it's a nice fact that the Ramones first record, their classic self-titled opus that carried a soaring energy, a gritty, yet upbeat mentality and a fun dynamic, has been certified gold after 38 years. That's right, they're officially über-famous. Not just famous. Congratulations dudes.
It's happening, motherfuckers! There'd been some talk about The Unicorns reforming, but that's all it was: talk. Now the band has confirmed that they are, in fact, reuniting, and not just that: They're also going to open for Arcade Fire for a few shows. The band has no touring or recording plans yet, but I'm sure new material will probably trickle out within the next year or so. One can only hope. Listen to my favorite Unicorns track below.
For all of you nostalgic folks who are still in the know (or would like to be) about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys ... it looks like he's working on some new material. And some folks that might get featured on the record include Lana Del Rey, Frank Ocean and Zooey Deschanel. A lot of this is speculation, so fingers crossed that these assumptions bear fruit. Ya dig? Head over to Stereogum to read more about it.

Many myths about Wikipedia editors have been perpetuated over the years that were not supported by data. We found that editors are more educated and older than what we believed. In addition, not every Wikipedia editor is a programmer or familiar with open source.
Contrary to the popular perception that most Wikipedians are high school students, the survey found a majority of editors have finished college. 61% of Wikipedia editors who took part in the survey have a bachelors, associate or higher/graduate degree. Within this group, 35% have a bachelor's, associate degree or diploma, 18% have a master's degree, and 8% have a doctorate degree. It is interesting to note that over a quarter (26%) of Wikipedia editors have a post-graduate degree. 9% of Wikipedians have only a primary degree, i.e. they have completed elementary or middle school, and 30% have finished secondary school, i.e. high school. In addition, 43% of respondents said that they worked full-time, 15% worked part-time, and 42% were not currently employed.
92% of editors who participated in the study are proficient in computers: they are able to download and set up files and applications and programs (56%) and create their own applications (36%). But only 36% of Wikipedians can be classified as techies, i.e. able to program & create applications. Female Wikipedia editors are less technologically savvy, with only 18% of female editors stating they can program and create their own applications, compared to 39% of male editors. As a corollary, women editors (72%) are more comfortable downloading, setting up files & applications, and not programming compared to male editors (54%).
The popular image of a Wikipedia editor is a high school or college/university student (late teens or early 20s) working at night to edit Wikipedia. But contrary to popular perception, Wikipedia editors are much older, with an average age of 32, and half of them are younger than 28. In fact, the largest age cohort of editors is 40 and older. More than a quarter (28%) of Wikipedia editors are 40 or older.
The age distribution gets even more extreme when we look at the edit counts. By contrasting the self-reported ages with the actual edit count data, we found that the percentage of young editors (ages 12-25) drops drastically with edit count. For instance, young editors make up 48% of the population with less than 100 lifetime edits, but this drops to 29% when we look at those with 10,000 or more lifetime edits. Those in the 40+ age segment, on the other hand, make up 36% of those with 10,000 or more edits.
To counter for the fact that some of the Editors might have been around for much longer, we looked at the data from the last 12 months. These figures favored the younger editors: they now accounted for 34% of the population with 10,000 or more edits. Editors in the 40+ age group still stood for 35% of the population in this segment.

Carlo Cudicini backs Frank Lampard for Chelsea job
Dickson Mose
Carlo Cudicini has backed Frank Lampard for the vacant managerial role at Chelsea, saying he can be a 'fantastic' manager.
The Derby County manager is considered the favourite to take over reigns at the club, which was left vacant after the departure of Maurizio Sarri, who took over at Juventus.
"It's hard to give an opinion until the club have announced a new manager," Cudicini told Standard Sport after featuring for Chelsea Legends in a 5-4 loss against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
"But I know Frank, I played with Frank. I think that, for the club, it would be fantastic. He has just started his career, but in football, you can't really plan much. Sometimes, a chance comes along and if you have the chance, you have to take it,"
Lampard's first year in management was a huge success, guiding the Rams to a second place finish in the Championship and losing 2-1 in the Playoffs finals against Aston Villa.
If given the role, he will replace the Italian who had an indifferent yet successful season at the club, having signed off with Europa League trophy and a third-place finish in the English Premier League.
He, however, didn't settle well at the Bridge, and fans were never convinced by his system of play, especially when results were not coming the club's way.

How Russia Attacked U.S. Energy Markets
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Mar 02, 2018, 11:00 AM CST
Russia has been trying to interfere with U.S. energy markets and influence U.S. energy policy by using Russian operatives to troll social media platforms with divisive and inflammatory posts, a report by House Republicans has revealed.
The report—issued by the United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology—includes examples of Russian-propagated content on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, targeting U.S. energy markets and domestic energy policy.
"Russian-sponsored agents funneled money to U.S. environmental organizations in an attempt to portray energy companies in a negative way and disrupt domestic energy markets," the report said.
"Documents that the American social media companies produced for the Committee confirmed that Russian agents were exploiting American social media platforms in an effort to disrupt domestic energy markets, suppress research and development of fossil-fuels, and stymie efforts to expand the use of natural gas," the Republicans' report says.
"By posting content that supports positions held by both liberals and conservatives alike, the Russians used social media to instigate and inflame discord in the United States. Russian social media manipulators intentionally injected foreign propaganda into American political discourse. These Russian agents are only interested in creating discord in America while hiding behind an anonymous and misleading social media pseudonym, as demonstrated by the highly divisive, often contradictory posts provided in this report." Related: Europe's Newest Tax Haven
The Chairman of the U.S. House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said in a statement, commenting on the report:
"Russia benefits from stirring up controversy about U.S. energy production. U.S. energy exports to European countries are increasing, which means they will have less reason to rely upon Russia for their energy needs. This, in turn, will reduce Russia's influence on Europe to Russia's detriment and Europe's benefit. That's why Russian agents attempted to manipulate Americans' opinions about pipelines, fossil fuels, fracking and climate change. The American people deserve to know if what they see on social media is the creation of a foreign power seeking to undermine our domestic energy policy."
Nevertheless, the United States is on track to soon become the world's top crude oil producer, ousting Russia from the current no.1 spot, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee top Democrat, Representative Bernice Johnson, said that Democrats had not participated in the report, but noted that Republicans were not as keen to look into Russia's possible influence on the U.S. presidential election.
"To ignore known meddling in the very foundation of our democracy while focusing solely on Russia's influence on the U.S. energy market -- a market that is currently booming -- seems irresponsible at best," Johnson told Bloomberg in an emailed statement.

Der Gutshof in Neftenbach war ein römischer Gutshof in Neftenbach, Bezirk Winterthur in der Schweiz, der sich heute in einem überbauten Bereich an Sattleracherstrasse und Aspacherstrasse befindet. Bei Ausgrabungen wurde hier am 16. Dezember 1986 eine Bronzekanne entdeckt, die als Münzhort diente. Sie enthielt 1243 zu einem Klumpen zusammenkorrodierte Silbermünzen, die sich aus 1239 Antoninianen und 4 Denaren zusammensetzen. Sie stammen aus der Zeit des Septimius Severus (193–212) bis Postumus (260–269). Bei Ausgrabungen bis 1993 fanden sich auch Spuren der Metallverarbeitung.

If you prefer taking language courses at home rather than at in person Spanish classes in Salt Lake City, there are several different options available to you. Inlingua Utah offers self study courses that you can complete online for learning Spanish at home, and they combine the best benefits of home study courses with the interaction and instruction of a private teacher. You get the benefits of being able to ask your teacher questions as you go along while also being able to complete the self study course at your own leisure, and this can be a convenient option for many people. There are also other self study courses that you can take but they may not be effective for what you are trying to accomplish.
When you don't have the time to travel to Spanish classes in Salt Lake City, the best alternative is usually to take an online course. Inlingua Utah has several Spanish courses that you can complete online without having to travel, and they can save you a substantial amount of time. You will be able to finish your course at the pace that you want and if you are a fast self learner you can progress more rapidly through the courses than you may be able to do in an in person class, which is more structured. An online class is a great option because it allows you to study and work on it when you have free time rather than having to adjust your schedule.
Some other options include self study courses that you can purchase from Inlingua Utah or online. These courses are not always the best option because they don't have any instructor and you won't be able to ask questions about particular areas of the language that you are struggling with. However there are some people who can do well with these types of courses, but if you are learning the language for the first time or if you need a refresher, it's always a good choice to take an online course rather than trying to learn it on your own.
It can be challenging to try to pick up Spanish when you don't have recent experience with it, and you might find that it's helpful to ask your instructor questions on areas that you are struggling with. Most people benefit from having direction, as their instructor will be able to show the areas that they need to work the most on. There are plenty of great self study courses out there, but online Spanish classes in Salt Lake City at Inlingua Utah offer better interaction and can help students pick the up language much faster in many cases. It can also help you to stay focused on learning the language with homework and regular exams, and you'll very likely accomplish your goals much sooner. To learn more about the benefits of the online Spanish classes at Inlingua Utah, contact us today at 1.801.355.3775.


In Eiffel all arguments of routines are pure input arguments. There is no possibility to return an argument. The only possibility is to write a function and return a value as "Result".
Furthermore Eiffel has command query separation, i.e. a command can change states and a query should only return a result and do nothing beside that. Command query separation -- allthough not yet enforced by the language and its compilers -- is a very powerful software principle which allows us to reason about our software and use queries within assertions.
However there are routines which are commands (because they change state) and have a result. E.g. the feature `read_character' of class FILE advances the cursor of the file (therefore it changes state and is a command), but has as a result the read character. The only possibility in Eiffel is currently to store the read character in the file object and provide a query `last_character' which returns the last read character.
For these cases it would be good to have output arguments by keeping the distinction between commands and queries.
- Output arguments can occur in postconditions, but not in preconditions.
Do you have the value of ch stored in the object upon return? (In last_character for instance). If not, can't you obtain the same behavior with a function returning a TUPLE result containing all values o1, o2... ?
A function returning a TUPLE breaks command query separation. If you do that, you can use the function within an assertion and then you have an assertion with side effects. This shall never happen.
This post would be stronger if you actually could have come up with a single example that last_character and such is slower. It isn't. Trust me.
Come up with a non-trivial piece of code and the Eiffel way is as fast as C if not faster.

DTCC Acquires Sapient's Platform for Compliance Management Reporting to Create Industry's Most Comprehensive Pre and Post Trade Reporting Solution Globally
Dec 08, 2020 • Press Releases
DTCC plans to integrate CMRS with DTCC Report Hub to enable firms to manage pre and post reporting processes
New York/London/Hong Kong/Singapore/Sydney, 8 December 2020 ‒ The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the premier market infrastructure for the global financial services industry, today announced its acquisition of Publicis Sapient's Compliance Management Reporting System (CMRS), which will be integrated with the DTCC Report Hub service to create the industry's most comprehensive pre and post trade reporting solution.
With the acquisition, the DTCC Report Hub service will provide an extensive suite of pre and post trade reporting capabilities with the largest jurisdictional and regulation coverage, including Markets in Financial Instruments II (MiFID II), and other mandates in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, South Korea (subject to implementation of final regulations) and Hong Kong, among others. Firms using the newly expanded DTCC Report Hub offering will have the ability to manage derivatives, MiFID II, and Securities Financing Transaction Regulation (SFTR) pre and post trade reporting requirements via a unified, single-vendor platform, allowing them to mitigate compliance risks, enhance operational efficiencies and reduce costs.
"As national and global regulatory demands continue to increase, firms need a solution to help them simplify the complexities of their pre and post trade reporting processes," said Chris Childs, Managing Director, Head of Repository & Derivatives Services, DTCC. "CMRS is an established platform that, when integrated with the DTCC Report Hub service, will provide the industry with a proven pre and post reporting service that offers unrivalled asset and jurisdictional coverage."
Under the terms of the acquisition, Publicis Sapient will serve as a strategic partner to DTCC by continuing to support, maintain and develop enhancements to the technology platform. "The combined trade reporting and consulting experience that DTCC and Publicis Sapient contribute to the existing technology platform will create a single, highly efficient, evolving, comprehensive reporting solution that will help clients manage the complexities of meeting multiple regulatory mandates across jurisdictions," said Randall Orbon, Head of Strategy at Publicis Sapient. "Publicis Sapient engineered CMRS to act as an accelerator, and we've seen the platform develop a proven record of successfully supporting adherence to ever-evolving global reporting regulations."
DTCC, a trusted industry partner, plans to begin integrating CMRS with the existing DTCC Report Hub service immediately. The expanded solution will interface with registered trade repositories and an Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM), allowing firms to access a wide range of services, including pre-reporting facilitation, report generation and submission, automated reconciliation, and data analytics creation.
Industry demand for a complete pre and post trade reporting solution has increased as regulatory pressures have grown both locally and globally in response to the evolving regulatory landscape. Since the 2008 financial crisis, trade reporting rules have created challenges for financial firms, most notably data management complexities and increased burdens on internal compliance teams, who must continually monitor evolving regulations over time. The DTCC Report Hub service helps alleviate these burdens by eliminating the need for firms to build and support expensive in-house data management capabilities and systems that can comply with changing regulatory requirements.
In the coming years, DTCC will continue investing in further expanding the DTCC Report Hub service to meet client needs as regulations continue to evolve globally.
With over 45 years of experience, DTCC is the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry. From operating facilities, data centers and offices in 15 countries, DTCC, through its subsidiaries, automates, centralizes and standardizes the processing of financial transactions, mitigating risk, increasing transparency and driving efficiency for thousands of broker/dealers, custodian banks and asset managers. Industry owned and governed, the firm simplifies the complexities of clearing, settlement, asset servicing, data management, data reporting and information services across asset classes, bringing increased security and soundness to financial markets. In 2019, DTCC's subsidiaries processed securities transactions valued at more than U.S. $2.15 quadrillion. Its depository provides custody and asset servicing for securities issues from 170 countries and territories valued at U.S. $63.0 trillion. DTCC's Global Trade Repository service, through locally registered, licensed, or approved trade repositories, processes over 14 billion messages annually.

The Government are cutting funding for SPEC and so many children are devastated because of it.
Class sizes will be increased by at least four students and will make classrooms to noisy and each child won't get enough attention from the teacher.
There are so many Intermediates in New Zealand that approximately 1122 teachers will lose their jobs, causing the unemployed population to grow, there for making more people hungry or homeless.
Children in the 21st century need to learn more than just reading, writing and maths in order to get a better job in the future. SPEC gives us lifelong skills that help us to develop and grow.
So, now I am really glad that the Government has decided to keep funding SPEC because we all really enjoy it.
Great to see you writing on an issue that is important to you. I also like that you have included a picture to help with your post.
One thing you need to work on a bit is perhaps linking to an article about the job cuts so that the reader can find out more information.

Master Reboot Brings Haunting Sci-Fi Horror to PS3 Next Month
David Banner	Managing Director, Wales Interactive
I'm David Banner (not the HULK… don't make me angry!), Managing Director and co-founder of Wales Interactive and I've been making video games professionally since 1995.
Wales Interactive is a BAFTA Cymru award-winning indie developer and publisher which I co-founded back in 2012 with my friend and colleague Richard Pring, Technical Director. Our team has grown to 14 strong and we are Wales's biggest game developer and publisher. We even have a display dedicated to us at Cardiff Wales Airport! We are passionate about games and our aim is to create original titles that entertain the world as well as put Wales on the video games map.
We started out primarily as an app developer, but have now made the leap to console development and we're very excited about next month's release of our first PS3 title.
Our first PlayStation title, Master Reboot, is a haunting first person sci-fi adventure game. In the not too distant future humankind has created the Soul Cloud, a giant server that holds the data of your soul and memories when you die. The Soul Cloud is filled with floating islands, each island looks like a town; village or city filled with rooms, skyscrapers and houses that hold people's memories.
To house your Soul, a family member (or yourself before you die) purchases an island on the Soul Cloud where the server will generate rooms, houses or skyscrapers that hold each and every memory from the deceased's past, or of memories of their choosing. The game starts with you being uploaded to the Soul Cloud but something has gone wrong and you wake up on a beach not knowing who or where you are. It's up to you to explore, solve puzzles and try to piece together your life and death.
With Master Reboot we wanted to invoke an uneasiness for the player; a haunting quality as you journeyed through the game. There are certain levels where you catch glimpses of things, shadows, movement out of the corner of your eye and there are always undertones of something not quite being right.
I think 'less is more' in our game and we've taken the horror genre in different direction and steered away from blood, guts and violence. I can honestly say there is nothing quite like Master Reboot out there – it's definitely a game that needs to be experienced.
We deliberately tried to make something visually striking and that, combined with the music, gives a beautiful, haunting quality to the game. We wanted to create a look that would really stand out from the crowd and give us as the developers an identity and think we have achieved that with this game.
It's great to receive critical acclaim and it's rewarding for the team to get positive recognition for trying something a bit different from the norm. It's been described as "A gorgeous indie horror" by the folks at PC Gamer, "A breath of fresh, creepy air" by RockPaperShotgun, and "freakishly cool" by Kotaku.
We hope you agree when the game launches on PlayStation 3 later this month. Any questions? Ask away below.

looks good but I'm going to wait for a review.
"…launches later this month." (posted on January 31st)
Sorry, I had to! :P Game looks really cool.
PainOfSarrow
mannn just has to be first person view. to baddd, looks good though.
im still interested. can you tell me the average length to beat this will take ? first person gives me motion sickness but long as i play it in very short sessions it wont.
ShawnWeaver
Ps4?
Figboy
Is February unofficial horror month? With Outlast on PS4, and this on PS3, there's a lot of scaring going on in PlayStation land. I think I'm missing something else, also.
markedman54
WolfyHopeless
I have this own steam and I absolutely love it. It is an awesomely creepy game. Will gladly buy on PS3.
Dionysus-Jones
A social commentary on Microsoft's soul-sucking cloud…
Count me in :-)
Just popped up on the psnprofiles(dot)com… Might be coming quite soon…
Viewtiful_Gene
I have to say it, it looks and sounds… interesting actually.
There will be a demo?
(I don't trust reviews anymore. It's been years (a lot of years) since the last time I read one.)
lisatsunami
A very interesting premise. Like Nick and Ryan of this blog, I'm usually too chicken for horror games, but this sounds like it has more than just "boo" in the dark. I look forward to learning more.
davidxraw
Don't forget to provide us with a demo.
XtemmA2
Is it too much trouble to ask for porting the suspence to Vita?
tusunami
This might be something worth checking out, & hopefully there will be a demo.
Seluhir
Please tell me this isn't first person… please. It sounds so cool… but it also gives me the impression that it's going to be first person.
bah, forgot to put 'just' in there.
poodude
And just the other day I was thinking about how much I'd love to play a sci-fi horror game. Perfect timing!
AizawaYuuichi
This actually looks really interesting, and without the "blood, guts and violence" of most other horror games, I think I'm going to have to get this. The art style is very striking, I like it. Looking forward to more info and a release date for this.
Folkeye
Not to be a bummer, but considering how mediocre the reviews were for PC (at least via Metacritic), has there been anything to address the 'need of polish' for bringing to the PS3?
I like the premise from what I see here but I do tend to see how reviews go before purchase.
chrisgomez3030
needs a vita vita release.
Souledge94
well im always interested in horror games.Will there be a demo?
alexroedor
we need more games for Vita, every month has game for PS3 or PS4, but Vita no one, sorrowful the situation of Vita =/
italodancemp3
Yes please release it for VITA too
Ryumoau
hopefully you will post some gameplay videos next time you make an article on the game. looks interesting but need to see it in action.
Dangisuckatgamin
Looks like a Saturday morning cartoon, not scary… :P
mremerson
This game is on Steam since 10-29-2013 and have 59/100 on Metacritic.
This is not good…. :(
suicideforce
@mremerson may have 59/100, but only 5 out of 46 reviews on Steam say not recommend. So 41/46 says to recommend. Get out of here, troll
VinsanityV21
SWEET! I heard about this on PC and it looks intriguing and creepy as heck; it also had decent reviews. But considering my laptop isn't a gaming rig, and I don't like playing games on my laptop in general (even with the 360 pad), I passed on it. I'll check it out here on my PS3 then; I'm all up for a memorable, weird trip, even if it isn't too polished or has a little jank. Much prefer these types of games to safe, boring, "built from a template"-type games, y'know?
Since you didn't answer any question I assume you won't release any demo.
