Frederic Laloux's original Reinventing Organizations book catalysed a vibrant global ecosystem of organizations inspired by the next stage of human consciousness. Enlivening Edge, as a part of this effervescence, is welcoming warmly the new version of the RO book, subtitled "An Illustrated Invitation to Join the Conversation on Next-Stage Organizations" that will be published this Summer.
We each let our attention be grabbed by a page with an image which evoked something energizing. For each, the image was frequently related to a creative tension we're experiencing in our work between what's happening in EE and what we could do better. May this article inspire you to use the book for taking your organisational life to the next level!
"Propped up in bed, I am reading the advance copy of the illustrated Reinventing Organizations, when a small illustration in the lower right corner of page 72 hits me between the eyes.
It is the word "wordsmithing" that hits me between the eyes. This surprises me, and maybe you, too. It reminds me of what I hate about traditional organizations. You see, I rose through the hierarchical ranks of organizations. I served in internal communications roles and functioned as a cog. I reported to pointy-armed men (and women).
But it's wordsmithing that really gets me going. It feels too technical, rational, and craft-driven. It's about adding, subtracting, finessing, and dressing things up to make them palatable and powerful. It comes from an instrumentalist, achievement-oriented worldview with a manipulative edge. And, yes, I was good at that.
Worse, it feels siloed and disconnected. Wordsmithing is unhooked from the act of creation and co-creation, both through time and through layers of organization. It comes later in the process.
In the next-stage organization of my dreams (and I must admit that EE comes pretty close), I bring my whole self to work, not just my rational, wordsmith-ready mind. I dance with colleagues in the place where an idea emerges from the froth, and before it puts on the garment of language.
And I dance with my colleagues in the place where the garment of words is tailored to reflect the underlying essence of the idea. If this sounds intuitive or spiritual, it probably is. In this dance, we feel into the deeper essence of idea and words until they match. Until it feels complete.
If you think this is airy-fairy, it isn't. My colleague, Eric Babinet (who energizes the roles of Business Steward and Holacracy Coach at EE) and I recently worked this way. Of course, we had to leave our egos at the door and trust each other.
Since we live half a continent apart, it made sense to collaborate using Skype and GoogleDocs in real time. This let us see, feel, and hear each other (plus the space between us) as well as the words on the page. We toggled back and forth between the essence and the words until the statement we were working on felt, looked, and sounded complete. It didn't take long at all. And it wasn't wordsmithing.
"Already something deep within me has shifted, and I'm only on the page between the table of contents and the introduction!
That page shows a fellow in a hammock, smiling and looking at a book. It viscerally knocked out of me, the taking for granted in my work life, of an undercurrent of anxiety and tenseness. It brought into my body-mind, a new felt-sense: my worklife if I were that fellow, feeling safe, supported, relaxed, eager, happy. Peaceful, and ready to dive in and move forward.
"In the late 20th Century, in face of galloping complexity, the 'strategic planning' habits of management became largely useless. The new mantra of business schools and consultants for increased competitiveness became 'Sense & Respond,' as illustrated by a book of the Harvard Business School Press published under the same title in 1998.
Should we ban strategic thinking then?
'Some organizations I've researched have never done a big strategic exercise. Sensing and responding on a daily basis does its magic. But it would be stupid to go overboard and say it should never be done. Sometimes a sudden change in the outside world requires a profound reflection about the future, leading to some big strategic decisions.
So, how then could those decisions be prepared?
On the other side of complexity there is a simpler way—can we meet there?
I was reminded how I recently heard Jos de Blok talk about the story of Buurtzorg—and how simple and fun he made it all sound. I realized how often I become overwhelmed with the complexity of the different perspectives and possibilities in my work, and the multiple interrelationships and connections, etc. How I strive to comprehend and hold it all consciously with my intellect— and how that sometimes immobilizes me.
That contrasts with the times where I feel in flow, where seemingly effortlessly one step leads to the next and I just trust the people and the process involved, the unconscious or collective intelligence or whatever it is that leading me and others in this space. In the two months that I have so far been engaged with Enlivening Edge, I have had a lot of such flowful experiences. I feel that these have been supported by the trust, authenticity, and mutual interest present in interactions with my colleagues, complemented by a simple 'next step' action focus.
Yet, the illustration and invitation to a simpler way sparked at least two creative tensions for me. The first relates to my current involvement in a re-visioning exercise for how Enlivening Edge may develop as an experiential community platform in the future. This quickly risks becoming anything but simple, if I and we go too far in our mental constructions of how this might be organized. So what is the simple way forward here?
The second tension involves how we use Holacracy in Enlivening Edge. With my only two-month experience, the Holacratic prescriptions still seem to me a bit clunky, and 'overly formalized' with respect to constitutional rights and duties and prescriptions of what is allowed and what is not. I also wonder if there are still too many 'powers' retained by the lead-link role (e.g. appointing/removing people to/from roles) to fully release the self-organizing potential?
However I found this image extremely evocative in that it brings up an even subtler meaning for me. In our work and deliberations for Enlivening Edge we are called into operating from the Teal level of consciousness. Letting go of the 'shoulds', all of the conditioning, and learning to navigate the energy that wants to move through me—rather than conforming to preconceptions of what I feel is expected of me—has been and still is a challenging journey.
In our evolution, humanity has resorted to using weapons as a means of countering our vulnerability. Rest assured there's no aggression in the EE team; they're really a very friendly bunch! But we've learned in our deliberations that it's necessary to let go of our armoury and be real with each other about what we want or perceive.
"Reading through this morning I am struck by how well the book translates into this format, and how much of a leap forward the material takes having been written with the illustrations in mind. They make the content feel visceral (the giant red-swathed fellow with the club is one of my favorites…!) and are enjoyable on their own accord.
The book will be published really soon; watch this space for the announcement and be among the first to know when it is available. All you have to do is enter your email address in the field under "GET EVERY NEW POST when they appear!" in the upper right corner of any EE page.
When it is out, get yourself a copy, spread the word, and be ready to enjoy its many delightful surprises.
After you have a chance to read the book, please do come back here and share your own reflections and questions below, in the comments section of this page.
We'd love to hear what stories and images will be inspiring and moving you to do something in your organization differently!
Updated on June 28, 2016: The illustrated version, along with the audiobook, has just become available! After reading it, please come back here to share your reflections with other readers.
I already finished the original "classic" book, but I feel the urge to read it all over again.
As a co-founder of a company there are so many things I can relate to, things that are now hitting hard in my head, things that makes perfect sense to me because we are so far from teal they are so obvious. Now I can't see The World with the same glasses I used to.
I want to get the Illustrated version as soon as being published, I want to get a lot of inspiration to communicate these ideas to others in a more digestable but at the same time comprehensive way. Perhaps the next step would be to create some short animations to engage a broader audience and I'd be more than willing to help with this.
Wow, Armando, great suggestion, short animations, and you are more than willing to help! Wondrous! Be sure to suggest that directly to Frederic on his website.
Alia, these are the things that truly makes you want to do something about it, I feel the urge to communicate and inspire as much folks as I can about RO.
Querido Armando, let's talk about animating a few episodes of the book.
The viewers of the soon coming Enlivening Edge TV would be delighted to watch your RO animations!
I don't entirely share your objection to "wordsmith". This has a fairly honourable heritage and shares it's etymology with goldsmith, silversmith and blacksmith, all worthy crafts – which like all crafts can be misused as likewise the skills of the smith used for unhelpful purposes.
Perhaps they know not what they do?
Thanks so much for your response, William. Yes, I agree, wordsmithing has an honourable heritage. However, there may be better metaphors, metaphors that come from a deeper place, that tap into a sense of aliveness. Metaphors that speak about one's relationship with writing, and about revising from the inside out. I am currently reading "Ensouling Language: the art of nonfiction and the writer's life" (a delicious book that I cannot recommend highly enough) and am realizing , once again, that metaphors matter. There are so many wonderful gems in this book. Here is just one about the process of editing. "In the process of feeling into and loving each section, every word in the text, what you have made will become fully inhabited. from directed eros energy a soul force begins to move inside every part of the manuscript, a dark well of psychic energy begins to flow into every word." (p. 260) This feels to me more organic, less dry and technical than wordsmithing. It feels, somehow, more whole, more true to the way I edit. What is your sense?

Abu-Abd-Al·lah az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam ibn Khuwàylid al-Quraixí al-Assadí () o, més senzillament az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam, també conegut com a Hawarí Rassul Al·lah (en àrab , 'Apòstol del Missatger de Déu'), fou un dels més notables companys del profeta Mahoma.

La seva mare Safiyya bint Abd-al-Múttalib era tia del Profeta del que era cosí. Es diu que fou el quart o cinquè home a convertir-se i el va seguir quan tenia uns setze anys. Va participar en la primera hègira. Va participar després a les batalles de Badr el 624, la massacre dels Bani Qurayza que seguí la batalla del Fossat o al-Khandak el 627, Khaybar el 628 i a la conquesta de la Meca el 630. Després de la mort de Mahoma va participar en la batalla del Yarmuk 636 i després fou enviat a Egipte amb 4.000 soldats per ajudar a Amr ibn al-As en la conquesta del país.

Fou contrari al califa Uthman i va encoratjar en secret l'agitació contra ell però per raons particulars. Mort Uthman va col·laborar amb Talha i Àixa contra Alí ibn Abi-Tàlib i van declarar que Uthman havia estat mort injustament. Alí els va combatre i en la batalla del Camell el novembre del 656 es diu que va fugir però les versions no s'acaben de definir. Es diu que hi va morir i fou enterrat a uadi al-Siba prop de Bàssora amb una edat entre 54 i 64 anys. Va estar casat amb Asma, filla d'Abu-Bakr (i germanastre d'Àïxa). Fou el pare d'Abd-Al·lah ibn az-Zubayr i de Mussab ibn az-Zubayr, entre altres fills i filles.

Madonna Says Her Met Gala Outfit Was a 'Political Statement'
And she has a point.
Madonna has spent decades wearing outrageous outfits and stoking controversy. So why should she stop now? At Monday night's Met Gala, she wore a sheer Givenchy outfit that exposed her breasts and butt, making her stand out even among people who wore metallic arms or glowing gowns.
This is Madonna, so some shock value is to be expected, and yet people still criticized her for wearing a too-revealing outfit. This did not sit well with her. In a post on Instagram posted on Wednesday, she explained that her outfit was a "political statement," fighting ageism and the idea that women stop being sexy at a certain age.
We have fought and continue to fight for civil rights and gay rights around the world. When it comes to Women's rights we are still in the dark ages. My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement. The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an age-ist and sexist society. I have never thought in a limited way and I'm not going to start. We cannot effect change unless we are willing to take risks By being fearless and By taking the road leas traveled by. Thats how we change history. If you have a problem with the way I dress it is simply a reflection of your prejudice. I'm not afraid to pave the way for all the girls behind me‼ As Nina Simone once said, the definition of freedom is being fearless. I remain Unapologetic and a Rebel ❤ in this life and all the others. Join my fight for Gender. Equality! 

And that wasn't the only way she expressed how she really felt about her outfit. She posted several Instagrams of her loving the look, and showing just how much she cared about her critics. Here's hoping she keeps this up for decades to come, because bitch, she's Madonna.

Post Malone Performs Like a "Rockstar" With DPA Microphones
FOH Engineer Joe Hellow Finds Rich, Warm Sound on Tour with the Company's d:facto™ 4018VL Vocal Mic
LOS ANGELES, MAY 15, 2019 – As FOH engineer for best-selling rapper, singer and songwriter Post Malone, Joe Hellow takes pride in capturing the artist's feelings and emotions during live performances. Getting a rich and warm sound in hip-hop can sometimes be a challenge, with a lot of artists cupping the mic and losing the high end, but when Hellow brought DPA Microphones d:facto™ 4018VL Vocal Microphone into the mix, he did not have to make any compromises and found the results extraordinary.
Hellow's collaboration with his sound team began with a rigorous brainstorming session and testing. "We built a signal chain that is strong on all fronts, truly bringing the studio to the stage," says Hellow. "Pre-show efforts begin well before hitting the stage, track programming and pre-mixing album stems for live, playback design, as well as the vocal presets and tools to capture Post Malone's sound. This process, with tools like DPA's d:facto 4018VL, gives us the advantage and capability to rework the live show to sound authentic to the album. Other microphone manufacturers say that they are studio quality but all you hear with them is crowd noise or a lot of proximity effect because competing capsules pick up way too much ambient sounds. With the d:facto 4018VL, you can have a loud stage with controllable crowd bleed. You can also add a Rupert Neve 5045 Primary Source Enhancer to have fully isolated studio sound."
Hellow notes that in Post Malone's case, there is a guitar on stage so the mic does a great job of isolating while also getting the warmth and crispness of the high end that is wanted from a vocal mic. He also has more control over EQing with DPA and is able to take away frequencies since all the healthy ones present to the ear are already there.
"There's no other mic like the d:facto 4018VL," adds Hellow. "I use this transducer to capture Post Malone's dynamic, high-impact voice. When using the d:facto 4018VL, most of the artists I work with notice right away that they're on something superior to what they have used previously."
In addition, Hellow has also been very pleased with the customer service he receives from DPA. "From demo mic's to knowledge-based questions and answers, the DPA team has provided excellent support throughout our journey," says Hellow. "It's no coincidence that DPA's reputation is one of the most trusted, reliable and secure in the industry."
Post Malone recently performed "Rockstar" and "Stay" with his d:facto 4018VL mic at the 2019 Grammys, before joining Red Hot Chili Peppers for "Dark Necessities." Malone is currently on a world tour, which has stops in Manchester, Birmingham, Berlin, Glasgow and London's O2 Arena throughout the summer.

Australia intends to extend co-op with Azerbaijan
17:41 04 February 2016 Read: 953
The relations between Australia and Azerbaijan develop dynamically, and the two countries have perspectives for cooperation in different spheres, James Martin Larsen, Australia
He made remarks in Ankara during the meeting with Azerbaijan-Australia working group on Interparliamentary relations, headed by Khanlar Fatiyev, the member of the Azerbaijani parliament.
The working group, in its short period of existence, was able to do a great job on giving information about Azerbaijan to colleagues from Australia, noted the ambassador.
The relations between Azerbaijan and Australia have undergone significant qualitative changes in recent years, Fatiyev noted.
"Today Azerbaijan is known well enough in Australia at the level of parliament and government. In particular, in her recent speech, Australian Foreign Minister Julia Bishop said that Canberra recognizes Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, and also called to liberate occupied territories," Fatiyev said.
The other important factor is that the issue on releasing Azerbaijani hostages held by Armenia also was raised in the Australian parliament.
During the meeting Fatiyev noted that today Azerbaijan's relations with Australia are also interesting from an economic point of view.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev speaking about the diversification of the economy noted that agriculture will provide the country`s non-oil exports, population with work, as well as food security.
"In its light, to study the Australian experience, in which this area is one of the main spheres, would be very useful," said Fatiyev.
The issues on trade and economic cooperation, relations in the social and humanitarian spheres, as well as issues on extending interparliamentary relations were also discussed during the meeting.

Public administration in the regions of the Far East, to which non-standard conditions and support measures have always been applied, is a challenging and complex task that requires taking into account not only the political specifics of the area. In this context, such question as, how to achieve effective public administration in the Russian Far East, what modern approaches to personnel renewal to use, where to find the right people, and how to build communication with them, become most important.
The main issues for discussion:
• What is the ideal portrait of an effective manager in the Far East?
• Is it possible to take successful personnel renewal's practices of the other Russian territories to the Far East?
• Are there similar problems in other Asia-Pacific region's countries and how are they solved there?
Governors and experts will try to answer these and other questions during the "The Far East - New Challenges and Opportunities" section. Participants: governors of the Far Eastern Federal District, specialists of Expert Institute for Social research (EISR), guests.

Press conference – presentation of the Business Partnership Declaration in Greater Eurasia
On 14 April 2016, the 3rd annual InvestRus International Conference took place in Moscow with the support of the Roscongress Foundation. At the conference, the Moscow Memorandum on cooperation and joint activities aimed at promoting the idea of pan-European integration from Lisbon to Vladivostok was signed, one of the parties being the Roscongress Foundation. In 2016–2021, a number of business organizations and companies have joined the memorandum.
Since then a lot has changed. The idea to form a single economic space from Lisbon to Vladivostok was brought to a continental scale. In particular, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin put forward the idea of Greater Eurasian Partnership – a process beneficial for the participants of all integration associations of the mega-region: the EU, EAEU, ASEAN, SCO, APEC, etc.
To support this important foreign policy initiative by the President, the Roscongress Foundation, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, initiated the expansion of the provisions of the Moscow Memorandum to the space covered by the Greater Eurasian Partnership and its reformatting into a new document.
The declaration will be presented for the first time as part of the business programme of the 6th Eastern Economic Forum.
At the end of the presentation of the Declaration, a thematic collection called 'The Great Eurasian Partnership – New Cooperation Horizons' will be presented.

My hair whizzes through the wind, as I balance myself on my long board.
I'm not that far away from Spencer's house, I've gone enough times with Spence to know it off by heart.
I close my eyes for a few seconds, letting the setting sun shine on me.
Life is working out for me surprisingly.
Apart from the fact my dad is on the other side of the world and I don't have a mom.
If you had asked me how I would be in this scenario a few weeks ago, I'd go tell you that I would be in a family with egotistic boys and me wanting to go kill myself.
But look how things have turned out.
Spencer is my best friend alongside Chloe. Zach has helped me out in this family, we sometimes just have lazy days watching movies together. Jake, on the other hand I'm not the closest to, he seems to want to get to know me but I turn him down. He's gotten better and I probably shouldn't be so harsh on him but it's just hard to adjust.
He is going to meet me at Spencer's too although Spence does have a thing about not liking Jake and I to be alone together, I even think Zach has gotten in on it. But it's the same thing vice versa, Jake doesn't like me being alone with Spence and even my movie days with Zach he's moody.
My, I tell you these boys are so dominant. It's not like I would let Jake do anything to me when I'm alone and Jake getting annoying when I'm with his brother and friend as my best friends? If I had the answer to that, I would tell you in a blink of an eye but I don't. These stupid boys.
Boys are my friends but that's because they are simple, don't usually get into any of this gossip the girls do, but there are times like this which I can not understand.
It's only been a few weeks since I left my hometown and I miss my three best friends.
Back home we were the royals of the school. We were only Juniors but everyone looked up to us.
Brian, my friend I was most close to was the golden boy, used to have a perfect girlfriend which even I got along with and they were the perfect couple. They broke up only around a month before I left and I don't even know the reason, it's not like they hate each other now but at the mention of it, Brian always goes quiet. I miss his spiky hair all going everywhere.
Tim, the player of the school. My good ol' pal Timmy got girls everywhere. They all knew he was the player but went for it anyway. Silly hormonal girls.
Phil, the jokester. He was never in a serious relationship, he tried but never turned out right. He was the funniest guy I have ever met and probably always going to be the funniest guy I know.
They were all on my old school's soccer team. My school had the sophomores undefeated team, the one everyone hated and wanted to beat. I wish I was back home.
I skype and text them but whoever has been away from their loved ones knows that it's not the same. All you want to do is walk through the screen and give them a big hug.
I pull up to Spencer's house and put my board under my arm. I knock on the door and get greeted by Mrs Avril who had a wide grin on her face.
Both her and Mary have been so supportive of my mom and the situation I'm in. Everyone beside from those two moms, don't know about anything, just that my dad has gone on a work trip, they have noticed things are sometimes up with me but they haven't tried to push on it which I'm thankful for but I really, really want to let it all out. I have never found it so hard keeping bottled up feelings although this just makes me more homesick.

ROXBURY — The Latin Academy boys volleyball team has taken home the Boston City League crown every year since the city championship was formed five years ago, and it certainly didn't sway from the history books Thursday afternoon.
Using a combination of resiliency and spurts of aggressive hits, the Dragons (9-8) downed O'Bryant, 3-1 (25-17, 22-25, 25-14, 27-25), in a tight rematch of the 2019 BCL final.
Kevin Xu orchestrated the offense with 24 assists, guiding Latin Academy through a number of lapses in focus to stave off an energetic Tigers (9-5) group that rallied throughout. In the end, though, BLA head coach Lok-Tin Yao credited his team's desire to take the crown.
"I saw a lot more determination today than in some of the games (recently)," he said. "I thought they were hungry to win this game, obviously, the city championship."
After cruising to a victory in the first set, BLA ran into a few hiccups with its execution. O'Bryant took advantage of the numerous errors the Dragons committed, taking 10 of the second set's last 13 points for a 25-23 win. Kain Kaba (four blocks) gave BLA trouble in the middle while Jonathan Narsjo (nine kills) finished the set with a hard spike to knot the match at 1-1.
That's when the motors started running again for the Dragons, as Xu masterfully found Jonathan Lee (nine kills) and Yukarie Porter-Ainsley (eight kills, two aces) on the attack. Errors mounted for the Tigers, and Philip Nguyen (six kills, three aces) served well en route to a 25-14 third-set win.
O'Bryant didn't go down easy by zipping around the court and fighting hard at the net in the fourth set, even jumping out to a 17-12 lead at one point. Nguyen and Lee got going again, though, to rally for a 10-2 run. And while solid blocking evened the score at 24-24 for O'Bryant, the Dragons executed more the rest of the way to earn the win.
"There was a lack of focus (sometimes)," Yao said. "I kind of told them, 'Hey, let's take it easy.' "

Molecular Basis of Aging is a collection of papers that discuss the molecular aspects of aging in the light of molecular biology, biochemical gerontology, and genetics. Each chapter of the book contains a different study about the topic, which includes the effects of aging on DNA synthesis; the amplification of extrachromosomal circular copies and mitochondrial DNA during aging; and the altered actions of hormones and neurotransmitters during aging. The book also encompasses the loss of responsiveness to growth factors in cell senescence; the integration of cellular-molecular and neuroendocrine concepts of aging; changes and inactivation of enzymes during aging; and the relationship of aging with free radicals.

The Unjustifiable League (part one)
http://misshowtostartablog.com/precious-tips-budding-fashion-bloggers/
Justice League trailer from youtube
Charlie Finger , staff writer
I have been a fan of superhero movies since I was pretty small and have grown accustomed to watching them throughout the ages of my childhood. I seem to be more of a fan of DC comics and their movies, but have a soft spot for some Marvel movies, specifically Spider-Man and even more specifically Spider-Man: Homecoming.
That's why I was more than excited about the first Justice League that came out November 17 of 2017. I was amazed by the choice of casting on the Flash/Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) and ready to see 'Cyborg', Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Flash kick some supervillain/alien butt.
Unfortunately, I was not prepared for the letdown the movie brought me. The graphics were somewhat terrible in the sense that the backgrounds did not look real. I should not be able to tell that the League is not actually where they are pretending to be in TWENTY SEVENTEEN. And the outfits–though the same as in other movies–were quite bad and I can't understand how anyone would or could fight bad guys in them.
Another reason I could not enjoy it was the time periods. From my basic knowledge of the comic books and countless television and movie remakes, the timing does not add up. For example, the Flash is in his earlier twenties and is working on getting a degree so he can get a job as a forensic scientist to find out who really killed his mother; but I thought there was a whole lot more of the discovering oneself before the League that Barry went through. He's so new to everything that he hasn't actually gotten into a battle apparently and has only "pushed people."
And can we talk about how Cyborg is not supposed to be in this movie at all? He is newly 'created' and as most people who are interested in the younger superheroes and grew up on either Teen Titans or Teen Titans Go, he first joins the Titans and develops a peer relationship with Raven, Beast Boy, Robin, Starfire, and even some other teenaged superheroes that are mainly shown in the comics and hinted at in other shows, such as Young Justice.
Moving on, prepare for spoilers of Batman v Superman and the ending of Justice League. So in Batman v. Superman, Superman (Henry Cavill) dies by sacrificing himself to save the earth. And that is great and all–Go Superman!–but they bring him back to fight the villain in Justice League. I knew he was going to be resurrected. It was just something the movie did not seem to need. I feel like the movie should have been more about the teamwork among the four of the alive heroes before they tackle bringing the all powerful Superman back. And he ends up saving them in the end and beating the villain himself (AND SAVES A BUILDING FULL OF PEOPLE ON HIS OWN). It's like we didn't need the first hour and a half of the movie or the other characters. DC studios presents 'Superman and those four other heroes that barely matter'.
Speaking of the other characters and things I did not like, let's head deep into the feminist trench that I live in and look at Wonder Woman, the Amazons, Lois Lane (Amy Adams), and Martha Kent (Diane Lane). Gadot gets the most screen time out of all the characters, yet she is the least focused on of the League. You could argue that they were introducing the other characters, but that doesn't add up because Ben Affleck is on screen in almost one hundred percent of the movie and he is a pretty old character, and I am not just talking age of Affleck. Batman has been the center of DC's universe for along time. The only other person that amounts to him is Superman. Hey, look at that, they are both masculine and male identifying characters. Wonder Woman has been around considerable as long as both of them but you only seem to think of her in two specifications: female superhero and feminism.
Do not get me wrong. I love Batman and Superman and the Flash and Aquaman and Arrow and etc etc, but I thrive on the female empowerment that Wonder Woman/Diana Prince represents. We need more characters like her!
Another feminist point that goes along with the scarcity of women is one scene that I can not stop getting upset about and it has to do with . . . Diana's gluteus maximus. There is a scene in which Bruce and Barry are returning to the Batmansion on Bruce's jet (because Bruce is a millionaire/billionaire/whatever–where are our poor heroes at?) and Diana greets them. This scene is great except for the angle in which it was shot. In the background there is the aircraft and Barry and Bruce slightly in front of it, but the left side of the foreground is filled with . . . yes, you guessed it . . . Diana's butt. Can movies make money without sexualizing women and exploiting their bodies? Apparently not.

← Alleged paedophiles are in the driver's seat
One of Cornwall's clerical paedophiles →
Take Charlie out of the mix and there's mayhem
I have been mulling the latest twist at this hobbled "public" inquiry, specifically the move by "Charlie" (Father Charles MacDonald) to challenge the Ontario Divisional Court ruling which affirmed Justice Normand Glaude's ruling that victims can testify, albeit, as I like to remind one and all, in a limited fashion.
Charlie's latest legal shenanigans should bring this sorely hobbled inquiry to a grinding halt. Everyone inherently understands that.
And therein lies the problem for those who want to pass off this ruse of an inquiry as the balm which will bring "closure" and heal all that has ailed Cornwall.
The thing is that, all else aside, the troubled masses just know somewhere deep within their heart of hearts that Charlie is integral to any legitimate inquiry into the sexual abuse scandal and cover-up which has plagued Cornwall. As they see it, an inquiry without Charlie just wouldn't pass muster.
The inquiry movers and shakers on the other hand have gone to extremes to break from the mold of a sexual abuse scandal involving prominent men in the community in general and the allegations of a paedophile ring and cover-up which gave rise to calls for an inquiry in particular.
To that end we have been advised and reminded any number of times what the inquiry is NOT and pains have been taken to get the victims and public alike to accept the fact that the inquiry has nothing to do with and is not an extension of Project Truth. Despite this we are reassured it will somehow bring closure and healing. We are also advised it will not assign blame. It will not take paedophiles off the streets.
But as much as the victims and public seem to flow with the inquiry tide and give the perception of compliance and understanding it must be becoming disturbingly clear to all at the inquiry helm that the message just isn't getting through or hasn't sunk in.
Take Charlie out of the mix and mayhem erupts.
Why? What difference does it make if Charlie and his alleged victims are a no show because Charlie is trundling about looking for a better gift horse (read mandate) than the one handed to him and his alleged paedophile peers on a silver platter?
To Glaude, McGuinty and Bryant et al, none. Not an iota. Charlie is as inconsequential to them and this inquiry as are the veracity of the allegations of sexual abuse, a paedophile ring and a cover-up. Their ruse does not need Charlie per se to pump out a research paper on how this "public" institution, that "public" institution and the other one responded to allegations of sexual abuse by any alleged victim against any alleged predator. And there's no need of Charlie for Glaude to recount the ever-evolving and sorely lacking sexual abuse policies, practices and procedures of those various institutions.
Still, as I say, let Charlie throw down the gauntlet and there's mayhem!
Lead counsel Peter Engelmann tries to reassure that it really isn't so bad and things will proceed quite nicely at the Weave Shed without a boo about or from Charlie and his alleged victims for the time being. And thanks to the mandate, unfortunately he's right. Charlie can flutter about from court to court pulling out all stops to protect his coveted and hard-earned "presumption of innocence" and the inquiry can still hobble along – Charlie is only one of countless alleged paedophiles, just as his alleged victims are a mere handful in the sea of alleged victims.
Engelmann and Glaude would probably like to say that the truth of the matter is that Charlie and his many alleged victims are totally irrelevant and it matters not if Charlie's still fighting it out at the Supreme Court of Canada five years from now.
But they don't say that. They don't dare say that because as strange as it seems after all this time and all the nonsense emanating from the Weave Shed the trusting masses still erroneously believe this inquiry is about Project Truth, and Perry Dunlop, and Charlie, and a paedophile ring, and a cover-up.
Amazing isn't it? For all of the apathy, and all of the silence, and all of the naïveté, and all of the sorely misplaced faith in the vultures and bottom feeders who have descended upon Cornwall to make a name, line their pockets or feather their nests on the backs of the victims, the public still believe that this inquiry is going to do the right thing, and the right thing of necessity as far as they're concerned includes hearing about the alleged clerical paedophile (Charlie), the priest at the core of scandal.
So those at the helm will play it safe and try to assure us that they can get along for a while without Charlie, and they'll try to convince us that once Charlie's back from his legal foray he'll be as front-row-centre as any alleged paedophile can be at Weave Shed, and they'll fiddle along with huggy-bear-kissy face stuff and the other alleged victims of other alleged paedophiles, and then, – and then – lo and behold if Charlie is still carousing the courts a year from now they'll say it's too late, they have to and very confidently and capably wrap this up without Charlie and his alleged victims.
And they can do that. And if they must, they will. And believe it or not it won't change the predetermined outcome a jot or a tittle!
So let's not get hung up on Charlie's attempts to swaddle himself more tightly in the Charter. If we're going to get hung up let's get hung up on the root of our inquiry woes, i.e., a commissioner surrounded by red flags, a toothless mandate and the astronomical costs of orchestrating a cover-up of a cover-up which ensures that alleged paedophiles can sleep tight secure in the knowledge that the Charter and the courtrooms of the nation are their very best friends.
Sylvia,

An Impossible Romance….?
Published on February 1, 2017 February 2, 2017 by Jane
How did I manage to get myself involved with this one?
There I was, a single mum of two school aged children, mindfully swiping on Tinder.
Why mindfully? Because I had decided to be extremely fussy and particular. I wasn't going to swipe on just any profile that I "liked the look of". After a year of online dating, I would now stop to analyse the photos and words of any profile that caught my attention.
So I matched with Ian. Amongst other things, his profile declared "Scottish Highlander, lived In Denmark for 20 years. Fluent in English and Danish!"
"So What?" I thought, imagining that he had settled back in the UK after a 20 year trip away. After all, I had spent over 20 years in London before returning to settle back in my hometown on the South Coast. "Who cares if his time away was in a different country? Why else would he show up on my Tinder radar?"
A couple of days after we matched, Ian sent me a message. He was over from Denmark on holiday in the UK with his children, visiting old haunts and friends. He noticed we had the same taste in music. He mentioned Father John Misty, I mentioned John Grant and thats when we fell in love!
We decided to start video messaging and pretty quickly made a plan that after my pre booked holiday trips and his commitments back in Denmark he would come to visit me in six weeks time. During those six weeks we videoed every day. We agreed that he was going to come and stay at my house. There were no expectations we just felt we got on so well that we had to see each other. I do not recommend this to anyone! It was an exhilarating yet nerve wracking six weeks. What the hell was I doing finding a guy on Tinder who lived in a different country and inviting him to stay in my house before physically meeting him? He could be psychopathic axe murderer for all I knew!! During those weeks of videoing we laughed, cried had Friday night virtual dates where we both got a quite merry on wine. We told stories about our lives, marriage, divorce, kids and our own childhoods. We discussed everything we were both looking for in a relationship. We talked about sex but neither of us stepped over the mark and expected anything from each other. We realised how similar we are to each other. Ian is very much a proud Scottish Highlander who had spent a few years living in London, not far from where I spent my London days. I have Welsh heritage and my time in London was five years after Ian had left for Denmark. We could talk with familiarity about London and the music we loved. We also both love being out doors. Ian is a runner. I love to walk and we both love swimming in the sea!
Finally the day came where Ian flew into London and drove down to the South Coast to see me. I had sent the children to my mums. Initially during our six week chats, we had talked about our first date meeting by the Pier or Bandstand and having a romantic walk along the seafront because the sea means so much to the both of us.
By the end of our video conversations we threw caution to the wind and he came straight to my house!
The minutes dragged like hours until at 3pm Ian knocked on my door. I went to open it and there he was beaming and making some cheeky comment to break the ice. When he came in, we embraced each other tightly and kissed. It was like an old friend coming home. We felt like we had known each other forever!
Ian is a brave man. Within the first 12 hours of his visit he got to meet my mum, children, ex husband and neighbours. I had told everyone about Ian and his visit. Needless to say my mum was going crazy about it but I followed my gut instinct and I'm so glad I did. Before he arrived I also told him that if I was going to be murdered at any point of the weekend they would be looking for him! You have to be open and honest about these things.
What has happened since that first meeting? We had the most wonderful romantic weekend together. Now he is back in Denmark, we continue to video and message most days. He came to see me for my birthday weekend. I have been to Denmark to visit him and his children. What about the future? This year I am taking my children over to stay with Ian. We will go to Legoland and visit other places of interest.
Ian is bringing his three children to stay with us for a couple weeks during the summer holidays.
It's easier for Ian to come to the UK more regularly than I go to see him as my children live with me more than his live with him.
We are both freelance which means we can choose when we work and can choose (within reason) when to fly off for a few days.
What is the downside to our relationship?
The first downside is obvious, we don't get to see each other as much as we would like to. Although, it means we get to know each other very well. We can read each others reactions when we video message and talk about absolutely everything, because thats all we can do while we are apart. We never seem to run out of things to chat about.
We have to trust and be honest with each other. There is no other way to be in a Long Distance Relationship.
The second downside is other peoples opinions. I have friends and family who are genuinely delighted that I have met someone who is a perfect match for me. However, there is always the lingering question…..what will happen in a year or two? How can our relationship progress? We both have school aged children, it would not be easy for either of us to relocate to another country. Most of all, its not a conventional relationship and people find it hard to understand why we are doing it. I have now learned not to take these opinions to heart. What matters is that Ian and I are happy with what we have now.
We have both said, that we have to give our relationship a go, to find out what WILL happen in the future and so much can happen in two years.
Perhaps it's not such an impossible romance after all…..?

Meet the quintessential Spring/Summer frock, covered with lemons and blossoms, by The Pretty Dress Company. She made for a perfect way to grace the Conservatory Gardens of Central Park, matching the vibrancy & elegance of my surroundings. This garden was created in the 1930's, replacing a previous conservatory built in 1898. On this bright April morning, we enjoyed this place of serene solitude. Actually all 843 acres of Central Park provide a breathtaking tranquil setting!
These shots are gorgeous! So summery. I love that hat too. Such a beautiful look.

Should You Ever Pay $450 for a Credit Card?
By Taylor Tepper
https://money.com/chase-sapphire-reserve-premier-credit-card/
Jamie Grill—Getty Images
Chase made waves last month with the introduction of a new premier credit card: the Sapphire Reserve. Demand was so intense -- tens of thousands of people had their applications approved within two days of the card's release -- that Chase ran out of the original metal version of the card and had to send temporary plastic replacements instead.
Why the fuss? A huge sign-up bonus, valuable rewards, and choice perks caused point-thirsty borrowers to salivate, despite the card's $450 annual fee. The Reserve isn't the first premium card to hit the market, but it offers much more than you'd get from either of its two main rivals: the Citi Prestige and American Express Platinum.
The real question is whether any card is worth that whopper price tag. Would you be better off with the Sapphire Reserve or with one of Money's other Best Credit Cards winners?
Fees & Rewards
The brand-new Sapphire Reserve is simply too expensive to be practical for many cardholders, which is why Money didn't consider it a Best Credit Card contender this year. Over two years you'll pay a total of $900 in annual fees, with $450 due at the beginning of each year. Don't expect it to be waived the first year, as are the fees on the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite ($89) and Chase Sapphire Preferred ($95), both Money picks for travel cards.
But the card doles out generous rewards, too.
First off is $300 in an annual travel credit -- which automatically gets applied toward expenses like airfare, hotels, and baggage fees. For even modest travel spenders, that will bring the effective annual fee to $150. (The Citi Prestige and the Amex Platinum cover an annual $250 and $200 in travel spending, respectively.)
The card also offers a generous signup bonus: 100,000 points if you spend $4,000 in three months. That's worth a straight $1,000 if you use the points to cancel out travel-related charges on your statement. But because you get a 50% bonus on points if you purchase travel through Chase's travel portal, it's worth $1,500 if used there.
On an ongoing basis, you'll earn three points for every dollar spent on travel and dining, and one point for all else. So if you spend a fairly typical $2,000 a month, with a quarter of that on dining and travel -- and at least $300 on airfare or hotels per year -- you'd get as much as $2,314, including the credit and annual fee, worth of rewards in the first two years -- easily enough to make the annual fee worthwhile.
How It Stacks Up
But the real question should be: Are you better off using an expensive card like the Sapphire Reserve or Amex Platinum, or could you do just as well by picking a good travel card or even a flat 2% cash-back card?
Over the first two years, a typical spender would get roughly $1,340 worth of rewards on the Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite, even after paying the annual fee, while the Chase Sapphire Preferred would deliver up to $1,280 -- well below what the Reserve card offers.
But the Sapphire Reserve's numbers are heavily skewed by its juicy sign-up bonus. On an ongoing basis, the Sapphire Reserve nets you $411 per year, after the fee, if you're a typical spender, while the Barclaycard offers $415 (and the Sapphire Preferred gives $280). In fact, if you don't travel overseas -- and therefore don't have to worry about foreign transaction fees, typically 3% on all your international purchases -- you would do even better with the Citi Double Cash, which would give you $480.
Oh, and that sweet sign-up bonus? It might be too good to last. "I can't imagine Chase offering such a rich sign-up bonus for much longer," says MillionMilesSecrets.com founder Daraius Dubash.
Lured by Perks
For certain types of spenders, however, a premium card like the Sapphire Reserve might pull ahead -- but only if you're going to take advantage of the card's other perks. "Know thyself," says CreditCards.com's Matt Schulz. "If this card fits your lifestyle, it can be a really great deal."
For instance, cardholders receive a free Priority Pass Select membership card ($99 membership fee), which gives you free access, with an unlimited number of guests, at more than 900 lounges worldwide; both the Amex Platinum and the Citi Prestige also offer lounge access. Most of these spaces offer complimentary food and drinks, free wi-fi, and a place to charge your phone while you wait for your next flight; it would cost you $27 per person if you visited a lounge and paid a la carte. If you and your travel companion typically visit one of these lounges twice a year, say, then the Sapphire Reserve saves you $108. (Lounges are also useful during flight delays; 17% of all departures have been delayed so far this year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.) If you would never pay to use a lounge, however, you'd get a potential lifestyle upgrade, but no financial benefit.
You'll also receive a $100 credit to purchase Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, worth $17 to $20 a year -- although if you're a frequent traveler, you probably have one or both of those already.
If you're a swap-in-swap-out credit card points maximizer as well as a frequent traveler, it's hard to beat the bonus from the Sapphire Reserve. So if you can stomach the high upfront cost, and you spend at least $300 a year on travel, the Chase Sapphire Reserve will benefit you immediately.
But over the long term, you can get slightly better rewards on the (much cheaper) Barclaycard Arrival World Elite -- and domestic travelers do even better on the Citi Double Cash. So stick with the Chase Sapphire Reserve (or any other premium card) only if its extra perks will save you money you'd spend otherwise -- on airport lounges, foreign transaction fees, and Global Entry membership, for instance.
In either case, only go after a travel card if you pay off your balance every month. Interest costs can quickly undercut any rewards you might earn.
And whichever card you pick, make sure you're actually taking advantage -- or that the awards are automated and don't require any work from you. A 2015 Nerdwallet survey found that almost 20% of cardholders didn't redeem any rewards in the previous year.
