Plan to relax Australian rules for chemicals and pesticides attacked by environment groups
Panel recommends many household chemicals and pesticides be exempt from scrutiny and agricultural chemicals' approvals be fast-tracked
(The Guardian, AUSTRALIA)
Environment and health groups have fiercely criticised proposals to relax the regulation of chemicals and pesticides in Australia, saying they are "totally at odds" with public health and safety expectations.
A "first principles" review by a panel of experts has recommended to the agriculture minister, David Littleproud, that many household chemicals and pesticides should be exempt from scrutiny by authorities, and that approvals for agricultural chemicals should be fast-tracked if they have been licensed by similar authorities overseas.
The National Toxics Network and Public Health Association Australia said the draft report was a recipe for further deregulation that puts consumers at risk and undermines trust.
The NTN said the panel's mandate prioritised costs to industry over the environment, and raised questions over the industry links of its chair, Ken Matthews.
Matthews was until very recently the chair of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council of Australia, whose members include the biggest producers, importers and users of pesticides, including CropLife Australia, AusBiotech and the National Farmers' Federation.
Matthews said he had resigned as chairman of Abca, a position he held since 2015, and the agriculture department had concluded there was no conflict.
He acknowledged environmental groups were "cranky" about his draft report, but said the industry was not pleased either.
Protecting health, safety and the environment
NTN coordinator Jo Immig wrote to Littleproud last month about her group's concerns.
"Overall, the tenor of the recommendations is totally at odds with the public's growing expectation that a regulator should act to protect our health, safety and the environment from the impacts of Agvet chemicals," she said.
"The recommendations seek to place rapid access to Agvet chemicals above the protection of health and safety. The inquiry panel has largely relied on industry stakeholder opinions to form its recommendations rather than referring to the scientific evidence to inform the best response to systemic problems and improve the regulator."
The NTN said Australia already had a very lax system of control of agricultural chemicals, and this would put it further out of step with the EU, the US and Canada.
For example most common neonicotinoids have been banned in the EU because of their impact on bee populations. They have recently been restricted in the US and Canada but are still permitted in Australia. The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority has said there is no scientific evidence of declining bee populations in Australia but initiated a review in 2019. Paraquat, a herbicide used for weed control since 1961, has been banned in 30 countries and is on a restricted list in the US. In Australia it has been under review for 20 years by the authority and is still sold for commercial use.
One of the panel's most controversial suggestions is to exempt consumer products from the new regulatory regime on the grounds that most are well tested around the world in agricultural settings before reaching supermarket shelves. Other chemicals such as pool chemicals would also be removed from regulation.
The environmental health committee of the Australian health protection committee, representing health departments around the country, said it strongly disagreed with this proposal and there was significant risk of harm should misapplication of consumer chemicals occur.
"Health agencies around the world have experienced ongoing public demand for increased regulation of the pesticide industry and of pesticides used in and around the home and in public areas," it said in its submission.
The panel also proposed significant changes to how agricultural chemicals should be regulated. As well as speeding up approvals of chemicals licensed overseas, the panel proposed a form of co-regulation, where data and responsibility would be shared between the regulator and the industry.
Matt Landos, a veterinarian and adjunct professor at the University of Sydney, whose specialty is aquatic species, said the panel was prepared to use overseas approvals to gain registration but was not proposing to use foreign bans on pesticides to withdraw them in Australia.
The panel argued that far too many resources were devoted to registering chemicals and not enough to monitoring residues in the environment or in food.
Matthews said the approach devoted resources to the areas of greatest risk.
"We think Australia has an internationally respected registration system but we don't think the monitoring and compliance system is up to scratch," he said.
But there is immense scepticism the resources would be forthcoming for proper surveillance of pesticide residues. Landos said his work with fisheries in the Great Barrier Reef had revealed this was a major problem, yet the panel was recommending only $600,000 a year be dedicated to monitoring.
Matthews denied the proposals were primarily aimed at cutting costs for the industry, although the report estimated it could save at least $160m over 10 years.
The other major change proposed is to remove "use regulation" from the states and make it the responsibility of the commonwealth.
The NTN said this type of regulation was better handled on a local level rather than from Armidale, where the authority was relocated by the former minister, Barnaby Joyce. This led to a loss of senior scientific staff.
Complaints about Ken Matthews' role as chair
Immig and other environmental groups have complained to Littleproud about Matthews' role.
"Matthew's position as chair of ABCA was not declared to participants in this review," Immig said in her letter to Littleproud. "It is also not included in his biographical details in the information provided with reference to this inquiry panel on the government's website."
Matthews is a former secretary of the agriculture department and a former chair of the National Water Commission.
The ACBA describes itself as "the national coordinating organisation for the Australian agricultural biotechnology sector". Matthews said it was not a lobby group – he said its purpose was to promote agricultural biotechnology, which includes breeding techniques that can enhance crop yields – but acknowledged that the field is not unrelated to pesticide use.
CropLife, one of ACBA's key members, represents 19 companies that sell 85% of crop protection chemicals and and 95% of crop biotechnology products used by Australian farmers. They include most of the biggest pesticide producers and importers, including Nufarm, Bayer, Syngenta, Nutrien, and Sumitomo Chemicals.
CropLife is sceptical about the panel's proposals, saying the government failed to implement other changes suggested to address the problems caused by APVMA's move to Armidale.
"On first reading there appear to be many good recommendations and suggested initiatives, however others look to be nothing more than increased layers of bureaucracy that will not go anywhere to addressing the core inefficiencies of the framework," it said.
CropLife does not support the proposal to remove home and garden and non-urban land management pesticides from the scope of the APVMA, saying it was "unlikely to improve or maintain the trust of the wider community in this matter".
But it does agree that regulatory effort should be focused on "products of higher regulatory concern".
A final report is due in May and will need to be discussed by state and federal governments.

The Deal On Rims has been one of the largest distributor of Pacer wheels since Pacer wheels first began producing rims. All Pacer wheels carry the manufacturor's warranties against defects in workmanship. If you have a warranty issue on a set of Pacer wheels that we sold you, just give us a call and we will facilitate the warranty process. If you purchase a Pacer wheel and tire package from us, we can mount them and balance them with the recommended tire size for your vehicle and send the set to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. All of our wheellines are of the tested for quality and durability or we don't carry them. One thing that you can be sure of is that you have chosen one of the largest distirbutor of wholesale Pacer wheels in the nation!!
Since 1972 Pacer has been in the business of aftermarket custom wheels. Offering year after year, the very latest in styles, sizes & finishes available. Since it's humble beginnings in the LA area (That's Lower Alabama!) Pacer Custom Wheels has grown to be on of the largest custom wheel brands in the nation. From coast to coast and border to border you will find no other brand offering a more complete & comprehensive collection of custom wheels with unsurpassed quality & style. Pacer again brings you the most extensive selection of custom wheels ever.
When two or more metals are mixed together, the result is what we call an alloy. Metals of this nature are known to be more durable and are widely been used in manufacture of mechanical machines. The automobile industry is one sector that you will find them expansively used. This is especially true for the wheels. Alloy wheels are considered to be stronger and lighter than those made from pure steel.
Racing cars are some of the beneficiaries of this discovery. If you want to invest in a high performance vehicle in terms of wheel quality, then consider going for one whose rim is a combination of metals. One advantage of such rims is that they are resistant to corrosion if the right mixture of metals is used. By all costs Magnesium should be avoided because it rusts very easily and is highly flammable.
Aluminum on the other hand is more appropriate for use because of its non-corrosive qualities. It is also a strong and durable metal. Alloy tires are considered to be good conductors of heat and as such, they will save you a lot of fuel while driving on rugged terrain. They also minimize the risk of brake failure.
When it comes to the brands of such wheels, there are the Panthers, American Racing, Motegi Racing Performance, Weld, BBS, 5Zigen, Volk Racing and Konig. Their demand is on the increase the world over. However, they are being competed against by some dubious chrome brands that are lower in price and which are being manufactured in the Asian countries like China and India. If you want to shop for the genuine ones, you can do so online.

Spacious and comfortable villa with a relaxing, independent atmosphere, total privacy and an attractive architecture from the 1940s.
Good service, good stay" are the words that define the group of professionals who work at this Villa. Located in Miramar close to Fifth Avenue and few minutes to Old Havana.
It is the right place for families and groups of friends.
Provides breakfast service as well as planned dinners.
I dont know where to start…. as soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the beautiful hostess Glory, who gave us a tour of this very beautiful place. All rooms have A/C which is a bonus considering the cuban heat at times + the pool of course is a bonus. The staff was very professional and very accomodating. With us being a big group, there were a lot of last minute things that were needed (Taxi, Restaurant locations etc) which they were able to get taken care of right away. Stayed there for 3 days where we started off as guests, and left there with the addition of an extended family. We will definately be coming back to stay here next time we visit cuba. Ciao Mi Familia. See you Soon!
This house is nothing short of amazing. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The neighborhood is safe and welcoming. We had a group of 6 and we all slept comfortably. Every morning Gabriel and team prepared breakfast and on the final night they made us dinner. It was excellent.
As part of a 10 person group, this house was very spacious and comfortable to stay in throughout our 5 day trip. The house itself is beautiful both inside and out and we were all amazed by the layout and amenities. We are especially grateful for Gabriel, Dayanna, Claudia, and the rest of the staff for accommodating all our needs and helping us enjoy our trip so much more. We felt very welcomed and connected instantly. The pool was so relaxing especially after a long day of traveling and experiencing the country. From the house, many locations are a 10-15 minute taxi ride and the neighborhood itself is one of the safest, although Havana is safe in general regardless. There is a guard 24 hours a day to let you in and out of the residence and to provide anything else you may need. We all recommend Rincon Habanero to everyone and anyone that wants to get the most out of their money and to have a wonderful place to stay while experiencing the beautiful country of Cuba. We're even planning on coming back we loved it that much lol. Thank you for a great experience!
I stayed with a very large group of friends and we rented the entire house. Gabriel, Diana, and Gabby accommodated us in any and every way you can think of. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was phenomenal. The wifi was down at the time, but being disconnected wasn't much of a problem, and added to the experience (we were able to access public wifi once we were at one of the Cuban landmarks). Staff provided breakfast in the mornings, helped with currency, assisted us with ordering food in the evenings while we relaxed in the pool, engaged us in pleasant conversation daily, answered EVERY question we had, and even set up transportation. There was air conditioning in every bedroom and each bedroom had a bathroom attached. We will never forget their hospitality and our stay there.
This Villa is a great place to stay, especially with children. The pool in the back is clean, fun, and a great place to relax after a long day touring Havana. The staff at the house is pleasant and accommodating. We loved talking with Diana and learning about Cuban life. The bedrooms are clean, as are the bathrooms and staff are willing to help you with anything you need. We loved staying here and hope to return!
La casa es excelente para grupos. Viajamos 8 personas y la casa es excelente. Las atenciones de Gabriel, Claudia, Pilo, etc fueron muy buenas. Siempre nos sentimos muy seguros y no tuvimos ningun problema. La casa esta a 10 mins de la Habana Vieja, sin problema puedes ir y venir. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias por todo!

TU-K Hosts Pre-Retirement Training for 14 Staff Members
In its quest to ensure a seamless transition to retirement, the Human Resource Directorate recently held a pre-retirement workshop for employees expected to retire soon. The three day seminar saw a section of staff go through an elaborate counseling and teaching sessions on how they can manage their lives, appreciate the benefits of retirement and avoid psychological stress after retirement.
The training that was facilitated by the HRM Director, Mr. Magu Kihoro. Other facilitators were Bernard Opondo, Lucy King'ara and Sabina N'gang'a, a counselor in the student support services department. The training focused on showing participants how to live positively after leaving employment as well as how best to use their savings.
Mrs. Ng'ang'a , who was the main speaker at the training, took the participants through counseling sessions where she advised them not to look at retirement as an end to life but as a transitional process from formal employment to informal employment.
"You can continue building the nation even after retirement. Remember you are not tired, you are young at heart and therefore can still engage in meaningful activities such as starting small businesses, charity work, farming, church activities and other activities that will keep you strong and healthy ," said Ng'ang'a.
Mr. Magu in his speech thanked the staff members for their great service and dedication to the university promising them a good transition. "We will make sure all your pension and benefits are paid in full and in good time. We will also award you with certificates and letters of commendation as well as host a farewell party for you before the end of the year," said Magu.
The longest serving member Mr. Sebastian Njekebu who has served the institution since 1976 praised the University management and H/R department for the seminar. "In my 39 years working at TU-K, this type of training has never been availed to any group, my colleagues and I have learnt of the endless possibilities available to us after retirement and are now ready for what lies ahead".
The members of staff lined up for retirement include: Elizabeth Maonge who joined the university in 1983, Makau Andrew (1977), Joseph Mulata (1977), Anne Karanu (1982), Ngai Francis (1980), Jane Yegon (1983), Jethro Ambale (1982), Lucy Wairimu (1986), and Robert Makau (1985) among others.

Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen's new film, is in my estimation one of his finest later films. Again he explores, as only Mr. Allen can, the intricacies of a women under the pressure of a major life change, with humor, pathos, and style. Cate Blanchett is sure to receive Oscar attention for her performance, which is brilliant. She carries the film, yet the supporting actors, especially but not exclusively Bobby Cannavale (who also appeared in HBO's Boardwalk Empire) are also excellent. This role will secure Ms. Blanchett's position as one of the major actresses of her generation. Alec Baldwin is also pitch-perfect as her dubious ex-husband, but one can't help but wonder if he has made a career out of playing his own charming, seductive self.
Like Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire, Cate's character teeters toward madness as she desperately tries to rebuild her life after loosing everything. It demonstrates how sexuality, desire, desperation and social climbing sometimes converge with disastrous yet comic results. At times heartbreaking, funny, and luminescent, here is one of the finest directors of our time playing at his craft with confidence and ease. Excellent and appropriate music as well.

Mrs. Woody was a member of the Brushy Creek United Church and Harvey Women's Club.
She was retired from the East Texas National Bank after 28 years of service and had worked several years in real estate.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred Thomas Woody, in 1976; a brother, J.P. Morrow; sisters, Mattie Velma Morrow and Lura Overton.
Mrs. Woody is survived by a daughter, Freddie LaVerne Herrington of Palestine; sons, Joe Mack Woody and Homer Clark Woody, both of Palestine; sisters, Minnie Lee Padgett of Tampa, Florida and Ruth King of Palestine; seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Her grandsons served as pallbearers.
Memorials may be made to the Hospice of East Texas, 3800 Paluxy, Suite 560, Tyler, Texas 75703; or to the Brushy Creek Cemetery Fund, Rt. 3 Box 3244, Palestine, Texas 75801.


The best thing a man can do for himself is to learn to master his emotion. Many greatest men who lived had been made what they were in one way or the other by women. Some, however, had been the brain behind the early to the great beyond of their spouses.
People's greatest challenge is how to control themselves, if we had learned self-control, obviously we can master it.
This article you are about to read is about a woman and her husband. The moral of the story is that you are a master of the words you don't say and a slave to the ones you do. The husband didn't respect himself because he was under the influence of alcohol. He forgot to wear a coat of mail that none can pierce. He lacks self-control and he became a city broken into and left without walls.
It was unlikely that at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another job.
That's when she shot him..


Does Stanford Have The Talent To Remain An Elite Team?
PALO ALTO (Bleacher Report) – In 2012, Stanford will have to move on after losing some of their best players to the NFL. While losing those players has certainly created some weaknesses for the Cardinal, Head Coach David Shaw has a lot of strengths to be optimistic about.
Though the Cardinal's performance may drop off a bit from the elite level they have been playing at since 2009, they should still prove to be one of the nation's best teams.


I believe that the reason this occurs is because trauma is a specific vibration of energy that, as a human being, you are highly attuned to. When you put your attention on the energy of trauma – yours or anyone else's – it is easy for your primal survival instinct to get triggered even though there is no threat to your safety at the present time.
Violation, persecution and the long-lasting trauma that results is a universal seed in the collective human consciousness.
Additionally, in every family and lineage that exists, the energy of traumatic experiences and their associated fears get passed down to successive generations here on earth. Together they contribute to the particular 'family energy' or 'karmic group agreement' you have been born into.
Your relationship to these resides at a very submerged level of your awareness right now.
For as long as humans have inhabited the earth, they have been victims of each other's ignorance and fears. There has always been slavery and persecution; the witches of Salem, Jews during the Holocaust, ethnic and religious minorities all over the world and the oppression of women and children just to name a few. And you just have to look at what is happening in Syria, Palestine, Nigeria and in so many countries all around the world to follow this trend into today.
Together with your individual brilliances, talents and skills, these inherited traumas and fears constitute the buttons on your central console that get activated according to the overarching 'themes' you incarnated into this lifetime to learn more about, further resolve and heal.
This is how humanity evolves from generation to generation – integrating the important lessons and deep self-understanding contained in the genetic lineage in order that the current generation can build a happier, more authentic, self-actualised existence in present time.
Whether you are conscious of it or not, the process of healing, resolution and letting go of the traumas and fears of the past is where you energetically 'hang out' and spend most of your time. A curious feature about fear however, (which, like trauma, is a specific energetic frequency) is that it isn't always immediately clear to whom it actually belongs. For example, it isn't uncommon in my work with clients for us to uncover that they are actually responding to their lives utilising a fear-based belief system that was formed many years ago because of the limitations they inherited from their parents and loved ones as a child.
To what extent does your belief system serve you?
Whether it is based in reality or not, the belief system you currently operate within determines absolutely everything about the quality of the experiences and relationships you are creating right now.
Crucially, if your current belief system is not matched with your inner knowing and vibrational essence, you will find yourself creating experiences and situations that feel like they invalidate you at your core.
Part 2 to follow next week…stay tuned!

When Ashley Borhart was a freshman attending new student orientation, she learned about Indiana State University's Sycamore Graduation Guarantee and immediately knew it was for her.
Ashley Borhart, left, is taking advantage of the Sycamore Graduation Guarantee, which assures students who meet certain requirements will complete a bachelor's degree in four years or any remaining classes will be tuition-free.
Actually, you might say Borhart and her parents jointly concluded it would be in her best interest to take advantage of the guarantee, which assures students who meet certain requirements will complete a bachelor's degree in four years or any remaining classes will be tuition-free.
Launched for incoming freshmen in fall 2012, the Sycamore Graduation Guarantee is just one way Indiana State is taking action about something students, parents, educators and political leaders have been talking about for years — ensuring that a four-year college degree is affordable.
More than 1,500 students signed up for the guarantee during its first two years, and more than 50 percent remain in the program, according to Susan Powers, associate vice president for academic affairs. While there was some attrition in the first year, nearly every student who took advantage of the guarantee last fall as a freshman is still covered by the guarantee this fall, she said.
Because the guarantee ensures students will get the courses they need to finish in four years, it has helped about 80 students get into sequential classes they needed, Powers said. The program has been especially helpful in such intensive majors as athletic training, where students need a critical course in their first semester, she said.
Beginning in 2014, nearly every incoming student will be automatically eligible for the guarantee, "but we are still asking students to confirm their participation in the program so that they understand their responsibilities," Powers said.
Also new this fall, is a four-year degree map required by new state legislation.
By taking the lead two years ago on a four-year graduation guarantee, Indiana State is way ahead of other colleges and universities in implementing a new planning tool in the widely used Degreeworks software — not only in Indiana, but also nationwide, Powers said.
"We are easily a year and a half to two years in front of everybody else on using the degree maps, having training across the campus and making sure that everyone understands what a critical course is and having four-year plans developed," she said.
Indiana State staff member Cindy Otts, associate registrar, has served as a consultant in degree mapping for universities across the country, Powers noted.
For Borhart, an operations and supply chain management major in the Scott College of Business, the graduation guarantee took on more significance when she changed her major during her freshman year.
"It's great to have that cushion in case something happened and I couldn't take the classes that were offered," she said.
Even before the Sycamore Graduation Guarantee, Indiana State was tackling affordability head on. President Dan Bradley pledged in 2011 that the university would work to hold future cost increases in all areas — not just tuition — to increases in the cost of living. An affordability task force produced such initiatives as expanded use of electronic textbooks, a greater commitment to energy awareness and conservation and more opportunities for student employment.
Indiana State has the lowest tuition among the state's four major research universities, and its total cost of attendance is among the lowest of any four-year institution.
The university is also a leader in providing "a world-class financial aid package," said Crystal Baker, director of student financial aid.
Students benefit from about $12.7 million in merit scholarships each year, and Baker's office processes about $118 million in need-based aid annually.
"Indiana State is very accessible as long as students apply on time," Baker said, recommending that students apply no later than Dec. 1 of their senior year of high school and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid by Indiana's March 10 deadline.
New for students this fall is a customized award letter that breaks down gift aid — scholarships and grants — and compares that assistance to the cost of attendance.
Also this year, students will see a projection of their student loan payments after graduation.
Most students find that an Indiana State education is affordable, Baker said. While loans make up an important part of the college financing package, the typical Sycamore borrows about $6,000 per year, generally in the form of a federal loan rather than a private loan so that interest rates are lower and payments more affordable.
Indiana State has a legacy as a leader in keeping college affordable. The nation's first statewide student financial aid association was formed in Indiana in 1935, and Harry Elder, Indiana State's registrar, served as its president the following year.
It would be another 10 years, following the end of World War II, when federal student financial aid began with the Serviceman's Readjustment Act that provided returning GI's with assistance to attend college. The space race with the Soviet Union led to the National Defense Student Loan, precursor of the Perkins Loan, and the first federal low-interest student loan program.
The Higher Education Act of 1965 authorized most federal financial aid programs we know today. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (origin of the Pell Grant) was added in 1972 and became the foundation on which all other aid was awarded.
As baby boomers reached college age, demand skyrocketed for more campuses, more classrooms and more residence halls, and growth continued as a college education became even more important. By 2013, there were 6,900 accredited institutions of higher learning in the U.S., more than three times as many as in 1950. In 1970, there were 5.9 million students in college, compared to 22.7 million today. In 1970, tuition at public universities averaged $358 per semester. Adjusted for inflation, the cost per semester in 2010 would have been $2,052, but it was actually $6,695.
"Despite the fact college costs have risen faster than inflation, public education remains popular, and it remains a good investment," said John Beacon, vice president for enrollment management, marketing and communications at Indiana State.
The true cost of tuition at a public university is closer to what an out-of-state resident pays, according to Beacon.
"College remains affordable, because public higher education is heavily subsidized by state appropriations and federal financial aid," he said.
But states are subsidizing higher education less than 40 years ago, he noted. According to the Department of Education, states on average picked up 60 percent of the tab for public colleges and universities in 1975, while families paid 33 percent and the federal government paid the remaining 7 percent. Today, states are paying approximately 34 percent of tuition, while families are paying about 50 percent and the federal government about 16 percent.
While the federal share has risen, more of Uncle Sam's assistance now comes in the form of loans rather than grants. In 1981, loans accounted for 45 percent of federal aid and 52 percent came from grants. By 2000, loans accounted for 58 percent of aid and grants 41 percent. While federal Pell grants remain important, they now cover the smallest portion of college costs in the program's history.
Ed Pease is a member of the university's board of trustees, former administrator at Indiana State, former state senator and two-term Congressman.
In 2013, Americans were working more hours, had more debt and were spending more of their income on a college education than at any other time. Yet Americans continue to attend college in record numbers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, tuition consumed 4 percent of median family income in 1970. Today, the figure is 11 percent.
Economic downturns such as the Great Recession of 2009 have also had an adverse impact on the costs of an education as state subsidies to colleges and families' ability to pay decline, he said.
Despite the cost, a college education is still worth the investment, a recent white paper by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concludes. The paper, written by two bank economists, found that the rate of return for a bachelor's degree has been around 15 percent per year since 2000.

Follow your Bliss: A Quantum Perspective — Hurry Up and Wait!
If I pursue work that I truly love and enjoy, will the money follow? Is it more important to focus on projects that we find meaningful than what may be more lucrative or more likely to lead to promotions and better compensation? I have had a somewhat complicated relationship with these questions. So I'd like to explore them, share how they have guided my own career and provide a new perspective I have settled on that is partially inspired by or reminiscent of quantum physics.
First a quick plug for some blogging I have been doing lately but have not been publishing here. Especially if you found my last post on course correction of interest, you may also find some of my medium posts fall into your field of interest. I have not been including them here because they are completely removed from the software topics of this blog and I feel it would be distracting to the bulk of this audience. Likewise if you enjoy this post, you may enjoy the medium posts, but I think this topic is super relevant to work in the technology industry (or any industry for that matter) and that's why I am publishing here.
Throughout the first 10 years of my career as a software developer and manager, I really didn't give the concept of meaning vs. wealth much thought. I was extremely fortunate that I almost accidentally fell into work I found very enjoyable and just so happened to be very lucrative. Certainly leaps and bounds more so than the low paying jobs in my 20s. After 7 years of solid coding, I gradually started managing more and eventually became VP of technology over a small 20 engineer department. The money was very very good. In fact for the first time in my life I didn't worry much about money. I wasn't "rich" but I had no credit card Dept and could afford occasional modest vacations. However I found that I did not enjoy management nearly as much as hands on development.
I was working for a startup at the time and had quite a few stock options that promised a potentially significant exit reward if I stuck things out. After a few years I decided that I was ready to move on and do more hands on work. It seemed like every year we were poised to sell or go public the following year and so I figured I'd stick things out. Eventually, and rather suddenly, it just hit me that life is too precious to waste time doing work one finds unrewarding.
While moving from management back to individual contributor work was a no brainier, the salary difference was hard to swallow. Even though I was starting as a Sr. Software Development Engineer at a large technology company I was taking a 40% cut in pay. It was a solid and competitive salary, but I was certainly hoping to eventually return to the salary level I was at as a manager. So I clung to the conviction that if I applied my efforts to work I was passionate about, eventually finances would take care of themselves and I would again have a matching salary to what I had before. I knew this was very possible and I came close at one point to nearly achieving that managerial salary before again changing positions because I was much more passionate about the work than what I was developing at a higher salary job.
Honestly, the road to financial progress proved bumpier than I anticipated. Also, my passion and hard work were taking a rather significant toll on my quality of life. I began to wonder if I was barking up the wrong tree. Maybe I was wrong about the financial potential of my programming talent. While I could make up for talent with hard work, I was not sure how much longer I could sustain the hours I was putting in on the combined work and non-work related projects I was involved in. I really wanted to believe that I was a "gifted" developer destined for financial independence but this thought seemed to become more unraveled as time went on.
There were a couple times where my focus on pursuing what I believed in technically was directly conflicting with my ability to follow my employer's promotion track. When I made the switch to hands on development, for about six months I just wanted to write software and it did not matter so much what the software did as long as I was challenged. However eventually it became more and more important to me to work on software I believed in. I didn't just want to pump out "widgets" but code something meaningful. If my employer's work became uninteresting, I'd often find something in open source that could cultivate my interests. However, this was work (sometimes a lot of work) done on my own time for free and often (but not always) not seen or appreciated by my employer. On the one hand that was fine. I did not expect to be appreciated for work that was not contributing to the revenue of the one signing my paycheck. On the other hand I knew for a fact that if I dove 100% into the work that I was employed to do (like what I did before I discovered open source), I'd be much better positioned for promotions and raises.
I really felt like somewhere something went wrong with my "master plan." What happened? I did not feel on track to a growing career and even felt like my self-perceived talent was overrated. Looking around at the talent that surrounded me, I was no 10x developer for sure. I don't believe in the 10x developer but long ago I thought maybe I was one. Further, I did not want to acknowledge the fallacy of my myth. My entire self-image had become so comingled with my image of the uber developer and I really wanted to believe my talent held the key to riches. I thought that to admit that I was average or even worse would be throwing away the hope of the good life.
After these thoughts and doubts came to a crescendo over a year ago, I took a sabbatical from my pursuit to achieve developer greatness. I literally just stopped. I'm still committed to my work as a developer, but I took several steps back and removed this drive from the alter of my constant attention. I knew I needed to reflect and "chew" on a larger problem. I clearly needed to become more skillful in simply living my life. I knew I was missing something important and that I needed to adjust my lens that helped me to define what greatness and success were and the path to achieving them. I still believed that path existed, but knew I had strayed.
It seems like I'm continuing to learn more every day and I plan to do so indefinitely but here are some key takeaways I have taken after a year of pondering.
First, I did the right thing when I left my VP position for individual contributor development work. I needed to pursue my desire to grow my coding skills. While it did not put me on the jetway to wealth, it has led to many great opportunities and experiences. I do think I have had a rich career that is far from over. It's also somewhat comforting to know that had I stayed in that previous VP role, I would have "sunk with the ship." The prosperous exit never happened for anyone in that startup.
Next, while the above pivot was the right thing to do, I clung to the wrong target. I erected a false image of myself as the romanticized developer genius. I believed that by conforming to that image, I would realize my material goals. This image was not who I am. It's not at all that I'm a bad developer or in fact have not done some pretty great technical things throughout my career, but this image is totally artificial and I allowed myself to be seduced by it. It became my measuring stick for greatness and any failure to reflect its shallow qualities was a threat to my ability to obtain the future I hoped for. The passion to change the type of work I was doing was a voice worth listening to and following but I misinterpreted where it was leading me and prematurely created a vision that was not grounded in my reality.
Losing the path does not mean I wasted my time. Oddly, many of us have to learn how to be ourselves by making several failed attempts to be someone who we are not. It's perhaps the only route to understand ourselves.
The path to success is not a straight line from where we currently are to an unmoving goal that we imagine to be our destiny and calling perfectly matched with our ultimate potential. For me this was a huge realization. I have long unconsciously fostered this notion that one has a calling or a singular future that one is meant to fulfill. We make decisions and choose opportunities that either align ourselves with that calling or throw us off "the path" and threaten to lead us to a possible future where we squander that perfect image of what we were meant to become.
Every moment brings with it a multitude of possible outcomes. This is why I call this a quantum perspective because it reminds me of the Many Worlds Theory of quantum physics. These outcomes can be very different. Some will be wonderful and others very undesirable. There is no ONE correct outcome but many. There is no single perfect career, place to live, spouse, or any achievement destined for each individual. There is a constant myriad of possibilities. By fashioning an unmovable vision of who we think we are meant to become we blind ourselves to these possibilities and limit the direction we follow.
It's also not terrible to have chosen a "bad" possibility. Doing so is not an irrevocable act that steers us away from our fully realized potential. The opportunity for redemption lies in each moment. Because there is no single perfect future that we must aim for, there is an infinite number of possibilities to realize ourselves. There is no straight line to fall from but a field of potentials that we constantly gravitate among. Just because we miss a perceived opportunity that would have led us to our perceived destiny does not mean the next moment will not bring new opportunity for a completely and utterly different outcome but perhaps just as "perfect."
It is crucial that we recognize this. By limiting ourselves to a vision that we march toward come hell or high water is a great way to build a prison for ourselves cut off from a vast number of experiences better aligned with who we are in this particular moment. Just because one moment we find ourselves drawn to do heads down coding does not mean that is the ultimate definition of who we are and what we are to become even if it may mean it is a great path to take in that moment.
We are all truly dynamic beings and we constantly defy any solidified definition of who we are that predicts what we are meant to become. We are a collection of decisions and interactions with other elements of our reality that are always redefining who we are and redirecting the trajectory of our future. Perhaps by coming to terms with this idea that each moment presents multiple equally valid potential directions we can see a new beauty in what is right in front of us. If what we see is not reflective of the reality we have chosen to embrace for our future, maybe we don't need to change the reality of what we see but rather the image of the future we are projecting on to that reality.
While the above ideas ring true for me, they can be difficult to totally embrace. I'm trying to let go of the images I cling to that color the future I think that I want so that I can be more open to the possibilities that lie in front of me, but that's hard. We live our entire lives cultivating these visions - trying to become an embodiment of ourselves that is not the embodiment we reside inside of. I find that these images can give us not only fear and a sense of lack but also comfort and solace. They provide us with an identity that solidifies our sense of self. We tend to like that. We want to know who we are and feel like we control who we are to become. That security is hard to drop and without it, there is a feeling of impending emptiness and groundless weightlessness. Perhaps we need to fall into that emptiness and embrace the weightless vertigo if just for a moment to find our wings and fly.

You have to sketch every day. What you sketch isn't so important, as long as you sketch. It's like a sport. If you want to play better tennis, you hit the ball every day. You don't wait around for the spirit to move you. You do it. Phones ring. People intrude. You must not be diverted. Time is all that you have. Decide what is truly important and dedicate yourself to it. Eliminate the fluff.
In a computer class (1992), I made my notes and then came home and sketched to illustrate them. It was fun and you don't forget the lessons when you've gone to all that trouble. That's my dog Steve sleeping under the desk.

FDA Leadership BioPharmaceutical
Gottlieb's Short Tenure Will Be Felt Long After He Leaves US FDA
Derrick Gingery @dgingery derrick.gingery@informa.com
Commissioner Scott Gottlieb will leave FDA less than two years after his confirmation, but will exit with a substantial list of accomplishments for industry and patients.
Source: FDA
US FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, one of the most popular and visible commissioners in decades, will end his tenure as head of FDA in about a month, having moved the agency in new directions while also advancing high-profile policies.
Gottlieb amassed a legacy that includes new approaches to drug pricing and opioid policy, as well as record generic and novel drug approval output, despite running the agency less than two years.
Gottlieb cited his family in his decision to leave. In a note to staff, he said "there's perhaps nothing that could pull me away from this role other than the challenge of being apart from my family for these past two years and missing my wife and three young children."
The Public Commissioner
Gottlieb may be most remembered for his approach to communications. He often appeared on television and his daily Twitter posts complemented the numerous press releases announcing policy changes and other moves within the agency. Previous commissioners tended to avoid the limelight, as well as social media.
Nancy Myers, president of Catalyst Healthcare Consulting, said in an interview that Gottlieb was pro-patient, pro-industry and pro-safety at the same time, which is difficult. He also used the office in a "forward-leaning way" not seen often.
"He kind of drove the conversation through very good communication externally," Myers said. "He was able to use a lot of the ideas percolating in the agency, package them and get them moved forward."
Gottlieb pushed FDA to the forefront of the drug pricing debate, a position the agency had not sought in the past. In his first speech to staff after confirmation, he said that even though the agency cannot set drug prices, it can promote competition. (Also see "Gottlieb Places Drug Pricing Out Front In First Speech To US FDA Staff" - Pink Sheet, 16 May, 2017.)
Gottlieb was vocal in chastising the brand industry for blocking generic competition, warning that Congress could make more drastic changes if it did not stop employing pay-for-delay and licensing tactics intended to prevent patent challenges. (Also see "Gottlieb: Real Risk Of Congressional Action If Anti-Competitive Actions Continue" - Pink Sheet, 3 May, 2018.)
He also publicly released a list of companies thought to be using the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy system to prevent generic companies from purchasing samples for testing, although it is not clear the move had much impact. (Also see "REMS Abuse Website: Celgene, Actelion Top List Of Suspected 'Gamers'" - Pink Sheet, 18 May, 2018.)
In addition, Gottlieb blasted the rebate system that he alleged was holding back biosimilar competition for expensive biologic drugs. (Also see "Biosimilars Need Better Reimbursement, Not 'Kabuki' Coverage, Gottlieb Tells Insurers" - Pink Sheet, 7 Mar, 2018.)
His emphasis on creating generic competition was partially successful. The agency set a record for generic drug approvals in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, although critics argued that not nearly as many of those products were reaching the market. (Also see "US FDA Sets Generic Approval Record, But Generic Sponsors Aren't Celebrating" - Pink Sheet, 12 Oct, 2018.)
At the same time, the agency also approved a record number of novel drugs in 2018, which for the first time comprised mostly orphan products. (Also see "Orphan Drugs Compose Majority Of Novel US Approvals For First Time Ever In 2018" - Pink Sheet, 3 Jan, 2019.)
The Association for Accessible Medicines said in a statement that the generics and biosimilars industries "will miss this true champion of patient access."
"Dr. Gottlieb set a high bar for those who are working to bring relief to American patients from the burden of high drug costs," the trade organization said. "Gottlieb understood that approvals were not enough to spur competition, and his leadership extended to improving market conditions to ensure these generic and biosimilar medicines would not be blocked by 'shenanigans.'"
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America also praised Gottlieb's pricing mission, as well as his commitment to help new drugs reach the market.
"During his tenure, he focused on innovation in drug development and review, increased competition, and advanced the regulatory framework for approving novel technologies, including gene therapies," the brand drug trade group said. "His efforts have made a meaningful impact for patients in need of innovative medicines."
Gottlieb also oversaw several policy changes intent on fighting the opioid epidemic, most recently calling for new trials assessing long-term opioid efficacy and new prescribing guidelines. (Also see "Long-Term Opioid Efficacy Studies Will Take Years, Gottlieb Says" - Pink Sheet, 28 Feb, 2019.)
An Independent Commissioner
During his tenure, Gottlieb was unafraid of bold pronouncements, whether about areas not under the purview of FDA (such as drug rebating) or public health areas where the agency has more of a role to play (two of his higher-profile statements in recent weeks have been support for raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco to 21 and suggesting the federal government could do more to mandate vaccinations).
Gottlieb's independence earned admiration, said former FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein.
Gottlieb "surprised many people by charting his own course at FDA, focusing on several important topics for public health," said Sharfstein, who now is vice dean for public health practice and community engagement at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "These included the harms of nicotine and tobacco, the importance of lowering drug prices through generic competition, and the opioid epidemic."
"FDA staff respected him for his commitment to the agency's longstanding public health mission," Sharfstein added.
Peter Pitts, president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest and former FDA associate commissioner for external relations, said Gottlieb "did the right thing,"
"He called it as he saw it," Pitts said. "And that's a rare commodity in Washington these days."
A White House Favorite
Gottlieb also enjoyed unwavering public support from his boss, President Trump, another reason his departure was so surprising.
Trump tweeted that Gottlieb had done "an absolutely terrific job" as commissioner, adding that "his talents will be greatly missed."
Myers said that Gottlieb cultivated a good relationship not just with Trump and the White House, but also with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, "which gave him the credibility in those circles that he was going to do the right thing."
Trump became especially enamored with Gottlieb during the 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, calling him a "star." (Also see "US FDA Commissioner A 'Star' At Davos: Hopefully Not A Bad Omen" - Pink Sheet, 29 Jan, 2018.)
Unfortunately for Gottlieb, Trump also placed him in charge of the administration's efforts to pass right-to-try legislation, placing him in the awkward position of shepherding a bill that many agency officials and other stakeholders did not support. (Also see "Trump On Right-to-Try: Gottlieb's 'Heading It Up'?" - Pink Sheet, 2 Feb, 2018.)
Even as he worked to rein in what he saw as abusive brand tactics, Gottlieb also received criticism for his perceived deference to industry. (Also see "Gottlieb's Confirmation: Will Industry Ties Remain A Big Deal After The Hearing?" - Pink Sheet, 3 Apr, 2017.)
Sid Wolfe, founder and senior advisor of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, said Gottlieb brought a financial bias favoring the pharmaceutical industry to his role as commissioner.
Wolfe specifically criticized Gottlieb's handling of the opioid crisis, particularly the agency's decision to approve AcelRx Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s sublingual opioid Dsuvia (sufentanil). (Also see "Dsuvia Approval May Be Followed By New Opioid Review Paradigm At FDA" - Pink Sheet, 2 Nov, 2018.)
Wolfe and Raeford Brown, chairman of the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee (AADPAC), also slammed the agency for not convening the full Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee as part of AADPAC's review of the controversial product. (Also see "Public Citizen: US FDA Deliberately Excluded Risk Committee From Dsuvia Panel To Get Positive Vote" - Pink Sheet, 18 Oct, 2018.)
Is Abernethy Next?
Until President Trump nominates a replacement, Principal Deputy Commissioner Amy Abernethy may be in line to head the agency on an acting basis.
Abernethy, who joined FDA about a month ago from Roche subsidiary Flatiron Health Inc., has little experience inside the agency but has worked with FDA in other roles. She is an oncologist and has worked at Duke University, which employs former commissioners Mark McClellan and Robert Califf. (Also see "Commissioner Succession Plan? Abernethy As Gottlieb's Number Two Offers One Option" - Pink Sheet, 17 Dec, 2018.)
Former Commissioner Margaret Hamburg employed a similar strategy in hiring Califf as deputy commissioner for medical products and tobacco. Hamburg announced her departure a few weeks later and Califf soon was nominated for the permanent position. (Also see "FDA Lands Califf As Top Deputy, Potential Next Commissioner" - Pink Sheet, 2 Feb, 2015.)
Califf told the Pink Sheet that Gottlieb's departure "will be a big loss for the country. Scott had the skills and did a great job of meeting the mission of the FDA under difficult circumstances."
A Quick Exit
While Gottlieb's succession pattern may follow Hamburg's, his departure timing certainly doesn't. Hamburg, President Barack Obama's first FDA commissioner, stayed for most of his presidency.
Indeed, most recent commissioners have either left after a long tenure or due to a change in administration. Gottlieb would be the second-quickest voluntary departure in at least several decades. (See chart at end of story.)
Gottlieb hinted last year that his time at the agency may end sooner than expected. He told a congressional committee in 2018 that he may to have less time as commissioner than initially thought. (Also see "US FDA Commissioner Gottlieb Sees His Job As A Race Against The Clock" - Pink Sheet, 23 May, 2018.)
And following the mid-term election, stakeholders began suggesting that Gottlieb may consider leaving the agency since it is a natural departure time. (Also see "US FDA May Largely Avoid House Democrats' Investigation Agenda" - Pink Sheet, 7 Nov, 2018.)
Former Commissioner Mark McClellan told the Pink Sheet that while it was clear Gottlieb cared about FDA and its mission, "it's an always-on and very demanding job, and especially hard with a young family elsewhere."
McClellan, whom Gottlieb served under during his first stint at the agency, may have set the template for a quick exit. McClellan was commissioner for less than 17 months, although he left for another post in the George W. Bush administration (CMS administrator) while Gottlieb hasn't announced any future plans.
Still, multiple stakeholders were shocked when the news broke March 5. Former FDA Chief Counsel Peter Barton Hutt, who now is senior counsel at Covington and Burling, said the departure was a huge loss and that Gottlieb was a brilliant commissioner.
"I wish he'd change his mind," Hutt told the Pink Sheet. "He reached out and took hold of every part of the agency."

And are you still harping on about dropping Fifflaren, Sith? Give it a rest mate.
I had a great ESL overall and it was definitely the best CS tournament I've watched properly. I ended up about $40 up too which always helps. A shame fnatic threw an 11-4 lead in 2 consecutive maps and let Get_Right/friberg clutch to victory.
I do agree with Sith about Fifflaren, a really really poor showing from him and NiP couldve had the game in the bag much much earlier if he'd won any of his countless 1v1's. there was a point on cobble he was 2/?/19 and was really a hindrance to them! He certainly picked up on the very last map of the finals but the rest of the tournament has also been poor for him.
I think i'll just bet against them or skip them for now.
Real throws all around the place.
Scream is now pondering retirement.
The leftovers from LDLC and Titan form.
They dip into Epsilon too.
We all knew that his would kinda happen sooner or later since they've been getting rekt for ages now.
Only thing I would like to see on the new team is fxy0 instead of Smithz.
Literally will amount to nothing, if there is one thing we all have learned from ASD its that you need role players in your team so that if your aimers aren't on you have strats and teamplay to get them going, the 2 Awpers thing wont be a problem as KQLY isn't a bad rifler, similar situation to fnatic now with JW and olofm.
On the other hand the Shoxie NBK lineup has some legs to it, so we will see with this one, feels far more positive any way.
Friberg's Reflections gives a good basis on how an entry fragger should play and some current metas that most people will not be aware of.
Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom has joined a new team called BST for the upcoming FACEIT League.
CZ now replacement for 5/7 or Tec9 you can still lose pistol and buy this and full armor provided you have 100 left from pistol so it really doesn't change the post pistol eco meta though general buys will be very different. -300$ TK is ridiculous people will be TKing and picking up peoples games in SQ. D2, A site plant changes little really as you could still hold from short, so it also makes very little difference. The 'Buy Timer' is a good one stops you from buying Kev after your team gets 1-2 3 eco kills. I have no idea how the Cbble changes will play out.
Titan look amazing now, not even funny.
Mercenary look good too but I dont think they are on shox level.
ScreaM sf GMX Shox Happy IMO.
Looks like LDLC is up a team. Scream seems to be stepping it up lately and not aiming for 100% head shots which is good to see cause he is a great player. One of my favorites.

Guignolet est l'appellation populaire d'une liqueur à base de guignes et qui serait originaire d'Anjou. Elle est aussi produite, par la suite, dans l'est de la France.

Cette appellation prend racine dans  la « guigne », l'une des espèces de cerises utilisée dans sa préparation. La griotte et la  peuvent aussi entrer dans  la recette de fabrication qui dépend de chaque fabricant. La macération des cerises donne un jus alcoolique qui sera sucré afin de neutraliser l'acidité naturelle des fruits.

Production

La macération se fait, avec des fruits non dénoyautés, dans de l'alcool neutre à 96 degrés pendant environ cinquante jours avant de tirer une infusion titrant . Ce jus est ensuite filtré et reçoit l'adjonction de sirop de sucre pour arriver à un taux final de  pour le guignolet angevin () et de  pour le guignolet du commerce de marque « Tradition » de l'entreprise Giffard. Une fois pasteurisé, le guignolet est embouteillé.

Le guignolet se sert sans glaçon en apéritif, ou, selon les goûts, avec du kirsch, du gin ou encore de la vodka. Il peut aussi servir d'ingrédient dans des cocktails.

Historique

Le Guignolet  est créé par les religieuses de l'abbaye des bénédictines de la Fidélité de Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil à Angers, en 1632. Madelaine Gautron à l'idée de mettre des cerises de la variété Guigne, à macérer dans de l'eau-de-vie et de sucrer le mélange.. Puis la recette se répand après la dissolution des ordres religieux en 1791.

.

En 1834, Jean-Baptiste Combier fonde une distillerie, une première à Saumur, qui est alors le berceau du guignolet. À partir de 1849, le confiseur Adolphe Cointreau vend des liqueurs qu'il élabore lui-même dont le « guignolet d'Anjou » dont il abandonne la fabrication vers l'an 2000.

Fondé en 1885, l'entreprise Giffard fabrique à Avrillé et commercialise du guignolet d'Angers avec de la cerise de Montmorency, une griotte, par opposition au guignolet produit par les autres liquoristes. En 2000, sa fabrication se monte à  par an.

Dès 1874, Gabriel Boudier lance sa marque Guignolet de Dijon, un guignolet médaillé dans le monde entier'. Quand l'absinthe est prohibée en France en 1915, la fabrication de guignolet se développe également en Franche-Comté (notamment aux Grandes distilleries Peureux), Alsace et Lorraine.

La marque Kignez est un guignolet qui titre à 15°, fabriqué en Bretagne par la SARL Distillerie du Plessis. Il est issu de la macération de guignes et de griottes noires .

Welcome to my first "Quick Takes" post, so what is this new post category about? Well, every other Tuesday I'll be writing about the books, games animation, podcasts, music and more that I've been into lately along with quick reflections. Basically, this is a way for me to write/cover my current thoughts about more topics than I normally could in an analysis or review post. Let's go~!
I recently finished watching a J-drama on Crunchyroll called Ghostwriter『ゴーストライター』, it was a very suspenseful show with amazing acting and fascinating characters. While watching I couldn't stop writing in my notebook, I'm definitely going to post an in-depth review asap.
Hey fellow Japanese learners, 少女時代 also has a huge fan following in Japan and many of their best songs in my opinion are from their Japanese exclusive albums. I highly recommend checking out Girls' Generation's Japanese discography and concerts if you're looking to add more Japanese music to your collection!
《3》I'm nearly done (on the second to last dungeon) with the PSP game Mimana: Iyar Chronicle. This game is a mixture of J-RPG and visual novel, so cutscenes and dialogue trees are quite long. The player character; named Crais, can change the story's ending based on their dialogue choices etc. I played the "undub" of this game, which means the audio was the original Japanese dub. I found the voice acting to be good but nothing that stands out from the usual high quality that Japan's voice acting industry has. I love the visual novel elements that draw the push the story forward, it really gets into the psychology of the characters. This video game deals with themes of loss and guilt in a very thoughtful way. Once I complete this game I'll write a full spoilerific review.
《4》What I saw that there was a prequel book to Julie Kagawa's Blood of Eden seres, I knew I wanted to listen to the audiobook. Therese Plummer does an amazing job narrating all of the audiobooks in this series, the range of different characters she can express with her voice is really amazing, so she's one of my favorite audiobook narrators right now.
《5》I've been enjoying several podcasts lately, one of which is Hey Arnold Hey, it's basically a re-watch and analysis podcast of the 90's Nicktoon; Hey Arnold! The podcast hosts are really funny but also don't hesitate to dig deeper into this cartoon that is one of Nickelodeon's most fondly remembered because of it's character depth and development.
《7》I began watching the anime Kaleido Star with my husband, it's his first time watching this series but I watched the first ten or so episodes years ago. It's great that Crunchyroll is getting some older (but not only super old. Anime from the 2000's isn't considered "old school" now is it?!! */me has momentary age crisis*) The voice actors in Japanese nail it and there are several laugh out loud and dramatic moments where the Japanese voice acting and animation really shines.
That's about does it for this first installment of Tuesday Quick Takes. If you decide to check out any of the media I mentioned here let me know what you thought of it. If any of you plan to write your own Quick takes posts send me a link in the comments, I've love to read them.
