This post was born out of a discussion I started in the forum on the No Depression website. I asked about musicians who were fondly remembered, but whom the writer had lost track of, and Tom McD mentioned Gove Scrivenor. I remember Scrivenor fondly myself. He released two albums on the Flying Fish label in the 1970's, Shady Gove and Coconut Gove. His music was a combination of acoustic blues and the poppier sound heard here. But Everybody's Dancin' is the song that stayed in my head all these years. Maybe it's because I was a teenager when I first heard it, well into my hormones with feet stage, and this sounded like a party I wanted to attend. All I can say is that I am now older, and presumably wiser, but this still sounds like a great time.
Wow! Good stuff. Remember having a tape of a concert of his way back in the 70's. Wish I knew what happened to that tape.
Shady Gove is a great album with some fine picking from Doc Watson included. It's re-released on CD. It has some great songs on it and is well worth a visit. His other material is not at the same level I think (just my opinion and taste).


Summer at Playhouse offers a nurturing environment filled with hands-on activities and many opportunities for outdoor play, including water, sand, and weekly trips to the town pool. Our experienced teachers create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for children to play and grow.
*The program runs for 8 weeks in July and August and is divided into two 4 weeks sessions.
*A child may enroll for one or two sessions. Other scheduling options are available to current families.


For some people, learning to read and write seems natural, goes smoothly, and leads to successful experiences. Reading often becomes a pleasurable pastime. For others, learning to read and write well is a challenge that leaves them feeling frustrated and school becomes a dreaded daily event. Here are some explanations for common literacy concerns.
There are lots of reasons why adults might not have strong reading and writing skills. The reasons don't matter as much as the results. Sometimes the result of that weakness is a feeling of disappointment or embarrassment. There may be a feeling of regret if a person thinks they might have been able to do more in life with a better education. Other times, adults don't have negative feelings about their reading and writing, but they still have a desire to strengthen their skills. Adults with a desire to improve their literacy skills, for whatever reason, have strong motivation to succeed. That kind of motivation along with excellent instruction in word identification, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing can result in very good progress in becoming a better reader or writer.
Phonics is a strategy for figuring out unknown words. It begins with knowing the letters and their sounds but it doesn't end there. The reader has to understand how to use the sounds to figure out the words. Sometimes a reader can name the letters and match them with sounds, but doesn't use that knowledge to figure out words. A grade may be good because it is based on exercises that only require the reader to know the letters and sounds, not actually read words. Phonics has to be taught as a strategy that includes (1) knowing letters, (2) knowing sounds, and (3) knowing how to blend the sounds together to figure out words. Without #3, 1 and 2 are useless. The last, most important step in using phonics successfully, is to read real text with lots of words in sentences and paragraphs.
If there are three important words in a sentence that you don't understand, there's not much chance you are going to understand the sentence. Seems logical. You can't understand sentences with unfamiliar words. So a person with a weak vocabulary may have difficulty understanding what she reads or hears. On the other hand, someone with a strong vocabulary will have more success reading and comprehending difficult material. The added benefit of a good vocabulary is that the reader is able to read more, encountering even more new words and further building her vocabulary. The strong vocabulary then further helps with writing and comprehension.
If a student is successfully reading and enjoying short chapter books, he is clearly making progress as a reader. There could be a few different explanations about why this child is earning mediocre grades in school. First, it is possible that he is actually reading above grade level and is withdrawing or not fully participating because he is bored. A second possibility is that since he has some very specific literary interests, maybe he disengages from the materials he is required to read in class because they are uninteresting. A third explanation might relate to the type of tasks that make up a student's grades and the way the school defines "reading". Although a student is a good reader, his grade may be based on tests of fragmented skills that don't reflect real reading.
Comprehension means understanding, but understanding what you read isn't so simple. Before you can understand, you have to figure out what the words say. Then, you have to figure out what the words mean. Then you have to parse the words into meaningful phrases as you read, the way the author meant for you to read it. BUT, you come to the reading with your own background knowledge, experiences, and opinions and that will influence the way that you understand the author's words. The author will state some things outright and just hint at other things and you have to figure all that out. At times during your reading, you might also have to draw a conclusion, understand a character's motives, or make a connection to something you read previously. That's pretty complicated and it's a wonder that any of us learns to read with comprehension! Some people seem to read easily and naturally. But it doesn't go that smoothly for everyone. A reader must be active and thoughtful when reading in order to get the full meaning.
It's true that the main goal of reading is to understand, but this can't happen until the words are identified. For a reader who can't say the words quickly, the whole process breaks down. The reader's "sight vocabulary" includes all the words she can recognize and read automatically. If a reader is getting hung up on common words such as the, is, are, some, and there, reading becomes very tedious. The most common words don't carry much meaning all by themselves. This helps to explain why they are hard for a new reader to remember, but they must become part of the reader's sight vocabulary. The best way to remember them? A lot of practice! But the practice should be real reading. That is, the reader should be reading simple, interesting books that include sentences and paragraphs.

Q: JQUERY AutoComplete and PHP MVC i wrote my own MVC framework, so i'm using URL Rewriting to redirect something like:
mywebsite.com/index.php?p=Controller/Function :: TO :: mywebsite.com/Controller/Function
In my website i would like to use Autocomplete widget From jQuery UI with ajax. With ajax because i would like to search in a mysql database what the user fill in the field.
But according to the documentation jquery send a GET request: $_GET['term']. The problem is i never catch this variable. I think it's because of the url writing i made.
Can you please help me? Here is the htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-\_\/]*)$ index.php?p=$1

Thanks

A: Well, you are basically modifying the GET part of the URL, so you can not expect to still see it there. You could add an exception for the "&autocomplete=" or what the name of the variable is.

Welcome to Pitt Street. Watch out for the traffic.
This month we warmly welcome four new poets to the streetscape and celebrate our first Australia Council publishing grant. Not quite sure how to describe all this spring growth: is it surprising, disturbing, turbulent or just, er, acromegalic?
Jenny Blackford won the university medal in Classics at the University of Newcastle, branching naturally enough to a career in computer networking in Melbourne. These days she is back in Newcastle and writing full time. Her short stories are published widely: by Random House, Cosmos magazine and in anthologies such as HarperCollins Voyager Dreaming Again. An historical novel The Priestess and the Slave (Hadley Rille) appeared in 2009. Her poems are in Westerly, The Pedestal Magazine, Midnight Echo, Star*Line, Eternal Haunted Summer, Dreams and Nightmares and Dolly (!) and are forthcoming in Strange Horizons and Quadrant. She is a regular contributor to that venerable and much loved institution the NSW School Magazine.
Devoted students of Pitt Street Poetry's publishing history may fondly recall Etruscan Miniatures, an illustrated pamphlet recounting a decadent Italian summer holiday by London-based poet Tim Cumming. The moderate international success of this little booklet has led us to plan a few more in the same format. So we are really delighted to announce a suite of 12 poems by Jenny Blackford entitled The Duties of a Cat with feline images by Kirribilli artist Michael Robson. We know full well, of course, that there is absolutely no precedent for collections of poems about cats. Meow.
The name Benedict Andrews guarantees audiences a compelling and often disturbing night in the theatre. His eight-hour conflation of Shakespeare's history plays The War of the Roses for Sydney Theatre Company with Cate Blanchett as Richard II. His reframing of Mozart's Le Nozze de Figaro for Opera Australia within bleak institutional walls. And most recently his mesmerising reading of Jean Genet's The Maids, again for STC. To these should be added inter alia critically acclaimed productions of Chekhov on the West End, Monteverdi for ENO, Macbeth and King Lear in Reykjavik and Tennessee Williams in Berlin. Not bad for an Adelaide boy.
The peripatetic life of an international theatre director offers plenty of down time a long way from home. Benedict Andrews devotes this more often than not to his poetry, which has been unpublished up until now. Poems about the theatre, about his new home in Iceland and, inevitably, a long suite of louche meditations on hotel rooms. You will find his first collection Lens Flare a memorable read.
Eileen Chong grew up in Singapore speaking English, Hokkien and Mandarin, and studied English language and literature at the NUS. Amorous adventure brought her recently to Sydney where she has studied poetry with Judith Beveridge at the University of Sydney and with Ivor Indyk at the University of Western Sydney. She has been published in Meanjin, Australian Book Review, Softblow, and the Sun-Herald and is a regular contributor to the Red Room Company's poetry programs. A fellowship with Australian Poetry introduced the mentorship of Anthony Lawrence and the publication of a compact collection of 40 poems which sold out rapidly across Australia and South East Asia.
So when Burning Rice was nominated for the 2013 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Poetry, to our great good fortune Eileen Chong turned to us for a quick reissue of a reformatted second edition, which was delivered to bookstores a few short weeks ago. These poems operate at the complex nexus between Chinese and Australian culture. Personal questions concerning life, love and family are explored in a knowing, chuckling transcultural context not only in contemporary Sydney but also in the medieval Chinese court. Eileen Chong's second collection Peony will be forthcoming from Pitt Street Poetry in 2014.
And so to our fourth and final welcome: to Mark Tredinnick. Precious few of those who read these lines will not have already read many more of his. Take a moment to savour Mark's inimitable, circumlocutory take on the nature of things with his current series of blog posts for Southerly.
The story of his late move from the law, management consulting, and publishing at Butterworths and Allen & Unwin to working full time as a poet, erstwhile sage, teacher of fine writing and habitué of literary festivals here there and everywhere is too well known to bear repeating here. Not to mention the ensuing string of national and international successes, with prizes for individual poems in Newcastle, Cardiff and Montreal. It goes equally without saying that we are absolutely stoked that Mark Tredinnick is joining the Pitt Street Poetry stable of poets, and that we can announce for the first time here the publication of his new book Bluewren Cantos as part of a trilogy of poetry collections to appear over the next twelve months. So welcome to Pitt Street, Mark, we are looking forward to the ride.
With all this growth then, perhaps it's just as well that the gods of the Literature Board have smiled upon us with the award of a publishing grant for the 2013-2014 period. Warmest thanks to all the members of the board, to the Australia Council for the Arts and to our poetry-loving Arts Minister Tony Burke for this essential and unexpected recognition and support.

In contrast to the recent nationwide craze of registering internet domains with extensions in Chinese characters meaning "China," major enterprises and organizations in Jinan, capital of eastern Shandong Province, have been blamed by local media for lagging far behind the rest of the country.
The local newspaper Jinan Daily reported on Saturday that many Chinese-script domain names featuring the city's largest enterprise or famous scenic spots have been registered by some irrelevant individuals or firms other than the owners themselves.
The Chinese internet address of Baotu Spring, one of the three most famous local tourist attractions, for example, has been registered by a cyber-firm in southern China's Xiamen city, according to the report.
Some experts in the internet industry said a lack of awareness in protecting intangible assets and the possible technical obstacles brought about by current browsers and search engines may lead to the unpopularity of the registration in the city.
They also have warned that Chinese domain-name owners could face a complicated arbitration process and high costs to regain their internet addresses that others have registered.
Currently, enterprises or individuals can register the domain name ".zhongguo" via authorized agencies by paying 300 yuan (about 44 U.S. dollars) each, according to the report.
It's encouraging hearing news like this. More press coverage will create more awareness.
Wasn't JinanCity .com on sale here recently? The owner should pitch it to that local paper so they can proclaim 'Jinan Daily Wrestles Jinan's Domain Name From Foreigner!'.

Q: How can I plot an intersection of two figures from fimplicit3 in MATLAB? I asked it on mathworks as well but still no any replies there, so probalby someone around here will help me.
I have two implicit functions of three variables. I plotted two surfaces using fimplicit3 in Matlab (it appeared with R2016b matlab). Then I want to intersect them and to visualize the result. How can I do it? Could anybody help please?
For example
f = @(x,y,z) x.^2 - y^3 + z^2 - 4;
fimplicit3(f);
grid on; hold on;
f = @(x,y,z) x.^4 + y.^3 - 0.005.*z.^2 + 0.3.*cos(x) + exp(y) + 2.3.*exp(z);
fimplicit3(f);

A: One can transform your problem numerically to case 1 of this mathworks post, using fsolve.
% definition & plotting of the implicit function
f1 = @(x,y,z) x.^2 - y.^3 + z.^2 - 4;
H1 = fimplicit3(f1);
grid on; hold on;
f2 = @(x,y,z) x.^4 + y.^3 - 0.005.*z.^2 + 0.3.*cos(x) + exp(y) + 2.3.*exp(z);
H2 = fimplicit3(f2);

% solve both function for a desired meshgrid
[x, z] = meshgrid(linspace(-2, 2, 20), linspace(-2, 2, 20));
y1 = fsolve(@(y) f1(x, y, z), -2*ones(size(x)));
y2 = fsolve(@(y) f2(x, y, z), zeros(size(x)));

% apply case 1 of the mathworks post
ydiff = y1 - y2;
C = contours(x, z, ydiff, [0 0]);
xL = C(1, 2:end);
zL = C(2, 2:end);
yL = interp2(x, z, y1, xL, zL);
line(xL, yL, zL, 'Color', 'r', 'LineWidth', 3);

Extra explanation

*

*I created a x-z mesh, instead of a x-y mesh, because f1 is not a function in the x-y plane, i.e. an (x, y)-point  corresponds with multiple z-values, which is not the case for an (x, z) point.

*Note that is may be beneficial to implement case 2 instead, because then you only need to apply fsolve for one of the implicit functions.

*I transformed f1 to allow vectorised evaluation, i.e. use .^ instead of ^.

*y1 = fsolve(@(y) f1(x, y, z), -2*ones(size(x)));: solves the function f1 == 0 to y for every given combination of (x, z) with the same initial guess of -2 for every (x, z) point.

*Choice of initial guess: look at the plotted graph an estimate a good start value. If fsolve doesn't find a solution try a better/other start value. f1 get stuck starting from zero due to the flat region at that point.

*Choice of meshgrid plane: search a plane in which the solution is unique, because fsolve will only return one value.
Old problem (f1 is slightly different)
For your specific problem, the best method is to transform your problem to case 1 of this mathworks post. The first function can be made explicit: z = x.^2 - y
In general, one can evaluate every implicit function for a specific grid (x, y) using a numerical solver as follows:
% definition & plotting of the implicit function
f1 = @(x,y,z) x.^2 - y + z;
H1 = fimplicit3(f1);
grid on; hold on;
f2 = @(x,y,z) x.^4 + y.^3 - 0.005.*z.^2 + 0.3.*cos(x) + exp(y) + 2.3.*exp(z);
H2 = fimplicit3(f2);

% solve both function for a desired meshgrid
[x, y] = meshgrid(linspace(-4, 4, 40), linspace(-5, 0, 40));
z1 = fsolve(@(z) f1(x, y, z), zeros(size(x)));
z2 = fsolve(@(z) f2(x, y, z), zeros(size(x)));

% apply case 1 of the mathworks post
zdiff = z1 - z2;
C = contours(x, y, zdiff, [0 0]);
xL = C(1, 2:end);
yL = C(2, 2:end);
zL = interp2(x, y, z1, xL, yL);
is = zL > H2.ZRange(1);
line(xL(is), yL(is), zL(is), 'Color', 'r', 'LineWidth', 3);

Jigsaw Falling into Place – pierwszy singel angielskiej grupy Radiohead z jej siódmego albumu In Rainbows. Wydany został 14 stycznia 2008 roku, 15 dni po premierze albumu, z którego pochodzi utwór.

Singel w pierwszym tygodniu po premierze uplasował się na 30. pozycji brytyjskiej listy sprzedaży, co było najgorszym wynikiem od 1995 roku. Było to jednak spowodowane tym, że grupa nie wydawała już ze swoją pierwotną wytwórnią Parlophone, a z niezależną XL Recordings. Magazyn Time umieścił piosenkę na 5. miejscu na liście najlepszych utworów 2007 roku.

Teledysk
Teledysk do nagrania, który pojawił się w profilu Radiohead na portalu YouTube 28 listopada 2007 roku, przedstawiony w postaci czarno-białej, przedstawia członków grupy z kamerami zainstalowanymi na kaskach, które mają na głowie. Był to pierwszy od 2000 roku teledysk, w którym pokazano wszystkich muzyków zespołu.

The University of San Francisco was established in 1855 by the Jesuit Fathers as San Francisco's first institution of higher learning.
The university has grown from a one-room school house to become San Francisco's largest independent university. The USF School of Law, established in 1912, has demonstrated a corresponding growth. Today there are nearly 550 students enrolled in the law school and approximately 170 students receive the Juris Doctor degree from USF each year.
In its early years, the USF School of Law was housed in a building known as "The Shirt Factory" on the corner of Hayes and Shrader streets.
Throughout its history, the USF School of Law has prepared students for law careers in a community which boasts one of the finest legal traditions in America. Graduates have distinguished themselves in private practice and as attorneys in city, county, state and federal offices. Many of our alums have become members of both the state and federal judiciaries, including justices of the California Supreme Court, as well as prominent members of local, state, and federal legislative bodies.
We have done this by blending tradition and innovation: our tradition of excellence in educating students to be skilled and effective lawyers who leave law school ready to practice law along with innovative programming that reflects the vast changes taking place in all aspects of society and the law.
At the same time, we recognize our responsibility to train ethical lawyers who will help to make the world a better place, and we sustain an intense commitment to social justice and a belief that in this rapidly changing world we must redouble efforts to provide access to justice for those who remain marginalized in our country and around the world.

James Gleeson is one of the last survivors of a generation that witnessed the birth of surrealism up close. They could incorporate and react to the developments of the surrealist movement almost as soon as they happened abroad. At the time Gleeson discovered surrealism he was in his early twenties; the pioneers of the movement, meanwhile, were only just turning middle-aged. With such proximity to the action - in time if not geographically - younger artists of the period such as Gleeson felt that they were participants in the drama as it unfolded.
This sense of their place in history shows as much in their diaries as in their graphic works. Along with a number of artists of the period, Gleeson kept extensive diaries, the tenor of which is set by a certain self-consciousness. Pains are taken to record the autocritical musings of the artist, the latest works produced or seen, the theoretical papers and journals consumed. Art of the time made in this outpost of the intelligentsia tends to illustrate the results of this posturing rather too well, with a somewhat literal symbolism including skulls, keys and masks, mashed together like tatooists flash in crammed shopfronts.
There are a few things that have distinguished Gleeson from the bulk of the artists of that era. First, he is still with us, and remains productive. Second, he has kept much closer than most to the original surrealist goals. Most important of all, he has managed the uncommon feat of strengthening as an artist as he has grown older. At an age when most artists have spent their energies, Gleeson's work over the last two decades has realised the promise of his early art. The drawings and collages on show at Pinacotheca date from the mid seventies to 1990, while all of the twenty eight oils displayed were made in the last decade and a half and they represent the best work the artist has done.
Gleeson's career gives hope to artists who mature slowly. The visual vocabulary, syntax and intent of his work remain essentially the same as they were over half a century ago, but the direct quotes from the human figure and the surrealist masters have all but gone. This leaves us with pure Gleeson, multiple renderings of a polymorphic universe, at the same time hideous and exquisite and profoundly eroticised. In these paintings the great invention of the early twentieth century, surrealism, fuses with that of the early nineteenth: sublime nature. Storm-laden skies close in on scapes where the meeting of land and sea is indeterminate, and all is made flesh.
Much of the surrealist project was predicated on investigating the mechanisms of desire; in these works it is made palpable, vivisected: the twin elements of attraction and repulsion locked, fused together.
Through his diligence, Gleeson has managed to cut through the pretension of those early years, to give us something much more valuable: a clear view of an opaque psyche. In these works the artist has resolved the challenge that confronted him at the outset of his career: to integrate the unconscious via psychic automatism with the conscious mechanisms of image resolution and the physical act of mark-making.
Gone is the dry and often laboured effect of his earlier paintings; fluid brushmarks slither across the canvas, insensibly guiding us into multiple readings. All Gleeson's powers of illusionist technique are here applied to rendering the essentially abstract, elliptic quality of desire. He does it with the assurance of one who loves his medium above all else, and has mastered it. There are few artists about who so clearly delight in pushing paint around and to such dazzling effect. If you missed this show, spare no effort to see his next: it is marvellous stuff.

Laughing and Killing: The Guilty Pleasures of Anime
Fiona Hann
Anime (Japanese animation) is increasingly violent and yet the Japanese level of violence is much lower than in America. Viewed as an escapist form of entertainment with female characters idealised and existing in a male fantasy land runs counter to the Wests view of feminism. This form of popular culture is a useful vehicle to examine the country's psyche.

"...Good parenting includes the ability to identify and understand what a child needs. When appropriate, these parents will separate what the child's needs form their own needs and can place the needs of their child before their own."
Based on "The Art and Science of Custody Evaluations" by Gould and Martindale.
Competent parenting promotes child growth along traditional developmental lines. Competent parenting also channels and guides a child's and adolescent's energy and behavior toward successful and prosocial goals. Without appropriate parental supervision, children find this guidance from others, mostly likely from their peer group. Those children who are less well supervised tend to find and associate with others who are also less well supervised. The result often is a child whose primary socialization and attitude influence comes from his or her peer group rather than from his or her family. A lack of competent parental supervision leads to children who are poorly socialized and more likely to become problem children and adolescents.
There is a lack of consensus about what defines competent parenting. There is little consistent information about the impact of different parenting activities on child development. Parents naturally have beliefs about what is in the best of their children. They believe they know what provides more intellectually, morally, and culturally appropriate and necessary experiences. Unfortunately, there is little or no empirical research to support such beliefs.
Schutz and colleagues (1989) suggest a group of parenting behaviors that are widely accepted by family experts as the means for parents to support the development of competent children.
Parent is actively and positively involved in child's life.
There are direct, open, and cooperative dialogues between parent and child.
Parent cooperatively communicates with other parent.
Parent is flexible in behavior and limit setting.
Parent appropriately modulates expressions of love and intimacy.
Parent sets clear boundaries between child and environment.
Parent identifies and understands child's needs.
Parent accurately observes child's behavior and own behavior.
Parent develops and nurtures independence, individuation, social responsibility, and self-confidence.
Parent develops and nurtures child's self-esteem.
Parent is knowledgeable about child's strengths and weaknesses.
Parent is perceived as a positive role model.
Parent supports child's relationship with other parent.
Parent encourages socially appropriate behaviors and respect for rules governing society.
Good parenting includes the parent's active and positive involvement in their child's life. A good parent understands and plans for the inclusion of the child in appropriate functions and encourages the sharing of mutually satisfying activities. Kelly and Emery (2003) suggest that good parenting helps the child feel involved and like they are a part of the family. Children need to feel special and wanted in their relationship with each parent.
Good parenting involves direct, open, and cooperative communication between a parent and child. Good parenting involves a two-way exchange of feelings that communicates closeness, warmth, interest, and caring (Fisher & Fisher, 1986). Good parenting includes cooperative communication between parents. Each parent needs to understand and be aware of what is happening is a child's life, how they feel as a result, what the child needs and what their child would like to have or see happen. A good parent will communicate information and their experience with a child to the other parent and do so in a manner that insures consistency in meeting the child's needs in different homes.
Good parenting requires flexibility and the ability to set limits. Expectations should realistic, discussed and agreed upon by parents. Good parents set appropriate limits as to what they will allow and do for each other, for their children, as well as among children. This includes appropriate modulation of intimacy. Good parents avoid extremes of the psychological closeness and distance. This is characterized by the development and maintenance of interpersonal closeness that feels comfortable to both parent and child and is consistently experienced. Parents who are excessively close with younger children create a psychological burden for the child. Children become distressed when parents alter their relationships from that of "parent-child" to a "parent-adult" interaction. Parents who are distant, and have "adult-child" relationships can create distress in a child if the child is not competent to face, overcome and learn from life challenges.
Good parenting requires the parent to sets clear and realistic boundaries between the child and the environment. When necessary, good parents may behave in ways that create a buffer between the child and challenges in their environment. Parents may limit a child's behavior, interpret life experiences and give their children perspectives that provide children "freedom within limits" and "freedom with structure." Parents assume responsibility when they limit behavior, interpret life or provide perspectives in ways that may impede or enhance developmental growth.
Good parenting includes the ability to identify and understand what a child needs. When appropriate, these parents will separate what the child's needs form their own needs and can place the needs of their child before their own (Ackerman & Schoendorf, 1994; Rohman, Saks, & Lou, 1987; Schutz et aI., 1989), Good parenting includes the ability to accurately observe the behaviors of the child as well as one's own behavior and the ability to accurately interpret the feelings of the child as well as one's own. Good parents are able to communicate their observations, interpretations and perspectives in a manner that is sensitive, has empathy for the child, and demonstrates that the parent understands (Ackerman & Schoendorf, 1994; Bray, 1991; Fisher & Fisher, 1986).
Parents need to develop and nurture in their children the ability to move toward independence, individuality, social responsibility, and self-confidence. Good parenting encourages children toward alternative forms of action and new behavior in such a way that their children feel a degree of freedom when making these choices. Positive self-esteem is encouraged when parents set firm, clear, and consistent standards of behavior and when children are expected to behave in mature and respectful ways. Positive self-esteem is also bolstered when the rights of both parents and children are recognized (Ackerman, 1995; Maccoby & Martin, 1983; Maccoby & Mnookin, 1992; Schutz et aI., 1989).
Good parenting support and promotes resilience in children. Resilience is the ability to experience challenges and even failures in life, but also to respond in a manner where by a child can (1) accurately conceptualize their experience as merely problems and challenges, (2) develop and act on course of action, (3) maintain or alter their social network effectively, and (4) to maintain sufficient energy and persistence in their efforts. Resilience consists of the child's sense of self-mastery, relatedness others and their emotional reactivity (Prnce-Embury, 2006). Parents build resilience in their children be providing experiences that confirm their ability to solve problems, provide social enrichment opportunities that create a sense of connection and belonging with peers and teach through a variety of alternative methods that children can use to regulate and manage their emotions.
Good parents know and can describe their children's strengths and weaknesses. Children are generally not the same and each child usually is usually different from his or her siblings. A good parent knows these differences, respects them, and supports them for each child (Ackerman, 1995; Ackerman & Schoendorf, 1992; Rohman et aI., 1987).
Good parents serve as positive role models that can help their children recognize and see their individual strengths and weakness. Good role models teach, often through their example, how to set limits, following rules, and to respect their self and others (Schetky & Benedek, 1980). Children who can see, understand and can describe their own strengths, as well as "spot" those in others, are more likely to interact and socialize well.
A good parent actively supports the need of a child to spend time with the other parent (Schutz et aI., 1989) and to participate in social groups and familial activities that encourage the child's social development. Good parenting appears to include the teaching of socially appropriate behavior and respect for the rules that govern society. Teaching social rules and respect for social norms helps teach children about moral behavior within our society.

Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa had him on lockdown at an NBA-All Star party last weekend. According to the NY Post, Vanessa banned female cocktail waitresses from coming near her husband in the VIP area. According to an insider, Bryant's team also carried out two sweeps of the club in the days leading up to the event. "Kobe had a lot of male friends with him, and I'm pretty sure they would not have minded female cocktail servers," said one spy. Instead, Bryant kept his attention on wife Vanessa, who mixed his drinks for him at the table.
Could this have anything to do with the paternity papers Kobe was served with recently?

Kratom, an over-the-counter substance often marketed as a health supplement for pain relief, at least 91 overdose deaths in the U.S. between 2016 and 2017, according to a Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report published Friday.
The figure is more than double a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimate of associated with kratom since 2011.
The kratom plant is grown in Southeast Asia, where it a natural health treatment for common maladies like fevers and coughs.
While kratom is not a scheduled controlled substance, the FDA in November 2017 advising consumers not to use the drug due to fears that it could expose users to risks of addiction, abuse and dependence. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has also it as a "drug of concern".
Last year, kratom was linked to a that affected 41 states. A total of 199 people were infected and 50 were hospitalized.

Fort Mill -- A nearly 18-month legal fight between York County and Fort Mill's MorningStar Ministries could come to an end this month, if a judge grants the county's request for a ruling before the case moves to trial.
York County has asked Master-in-Equity Judge Jack Kimball to dismiss MorningStar's claim that county officials botched a development deal in 2010.
The 2008 development agreement was struck to allow for the renovation of a 21-story tower on MorningStar's property near Starlight Drive and Regent Parkway.
The tower was built as a hotel in televangelist Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Heritage USA, a Christian-themed resort and park. The Bakkers, best known for their televised "PTL Club," abandoned development plans in the 1990s. MorningStar – a Christian ministry founded in 1985 by Rick Joyner – bought the property in 2004.
County officials say they want the tower to be torn down. The church estimates the building is worth $10 million. York County wants MorningStar to pay for demolition costs.
MorningStar sued the county in January 2013, alleging that the county didn't properly approve site plans for the tower that would have moved development forward.
Without that approval, MorningStar contends, it couldn't secure quotes for construction work. Without contractors' estimates, the church says, it couldn't deliver on the county's demand for financial information and proof of their ability to pay for the development.
York County argues that it approved the church's site plan on Aug. 24, 2009. MorningStar failed to provide proof of financing for the project within 180 days, which is required in the development agreement, according to the county's court filings.
MorningStar alleges that York County never sent Joyner, MorningStar's executive director and senior pastor at MorningStar Fellowship Church, a notice of the approved site plan or confirmation of approval. The church didn't know, according to its court filings, that the plans were approved and that the clock was ticking for it to provide the required financial information.
Before MorningStar sued, county officials had claimed that the church was in default on the development agreement.
On Tuesday, Rock Hill attorney Dan Ballou, who is helping represent the county in the suit, said he couldn't comment on the case.
Efforts to reach MorningStar officials and their attorney were unsuccessful Tuesday.

As I turned the page on my kitchen calendar to jot down an appointment, I noticed "Early May Bank Holiday – United Kingdom" listed at the bottom of the little square for the first Monday in May. Bank Holiday? What ever happened to May Day in Europe, where revelers frolic joyously around a Maypole to welcome spring?
Evidently, in most of the United Kingdom, the first Monday in May is now observed as a holiday to "celebrate and demand" rights for workers, which seems to be something of a contradiction in terms. Are they hosting a party or a protest?
I much prefer the dancing-around-a-Maypole-version of an early May celebration rather than a humdrum "bank holiday." In olden times, villagers used a tree or put up a tall pole with long colorful ribbons attached to the top for the dance. The idea was for dancers to circle the pole, winding the ribbons around it to create a decorative pattern.
The concept seems pretty simple until you actually watch a video of the process and read about how the dance is performed. Here is how it works: Dancers are divided into two groups. Each member of one group grabs a couple of ribbons and skips clockwise around the pole. The other group holds ribbons and skips in a counter clockwise direction. As they approach each other, the dancers develop a pattern where they not only alternate skipping right and left of those going the opposite direction, they also pass the ribbons first over and then under each oncoming dancer. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, no?
According to my online source, the dance can be done walking, but "skipping is preferable." Advice to potential Maypole dancers: Let's not try to take this on right away. We will probably need all year, until next May, to put on a decent show.
Although the dance can be done with or without music, I recommend we plan to select something to accompany us as we execute these advanced moves. My source suggests something in a 6/8 time signature. Advice to potential Maypole musicians: For your May Day audition, make sure you have a nice jig or reel in your repertoire.
Now doesn't that make you wonder what May Day has to do with the origin of the distress call "Mayday?" Perhaps extreme dancer ribbon entanglement caused the May Day audience to take a break from their rhythmic clapping to cry "Mayday" as a warning of impending multiple strangulations. Maybe this could have given rise to the alert now used primarily by mariners and aviators in instances of life threatening emergencies.
So, in summary, there appears to be absolutely no connection between "May Day" and "Mayday." I know, kind of disappointing, but aren't you glad we've cleared that up?

Melodic, medium tempo instrumental blues song featuring guitar and organ. There is also a vocal version. It does not follow a strict blues format, but uses that as a base and adds changes that allow for nice melodic lines. The guitar solo builds to layers of harmonies reminiscent of Brian May; a somewhat unusual twist for blues.
The basic song structure came together very quickly, in a day or so. Written last February, the title was initially just a temporary way for me to refer to the song. When I sat to write the lyrics, the working itle seemed to still be a good fit, and I worked towards that angle- the feelings of dark winter days, lonliness, and expectations of the approaching spring to boost the spirit.

Michael and I have arrived in Thailand!
This is the fifth major stop on our ongoing "digital nomad" journey (after Miami, Florida; Birgu, Malta; Matera, Italy; and Bansko, Bulgaria — with shorts stops in lots of other cities along the way).
For several months, we'll be staying on Koh Lanta, which is two connected islands almost a thousand kilometers south of Bangkok, not too far from Phuket ("Koh" means "island" in Thai). It was a bit of a challenge getting here from Seattle (three flights, four cab rides, and a ferry).
And right away, there were things we loved, and things we weren't so crazy about.
But we've learned previously not to judge anyplace too quickly, because locations aren't always what they seem to be at first. In fact, we now have a "Three Day Rule" before we render any verdict at all.
And sure enough, once we'd settled into our lodging, we went to explore the beach (about two hundred meters away), and found that the action isn't along that main road, but rather along the beach, which includes a string of lovely waterfront restaurants, bars, foodstands, and open-air massage parlors — all lit by colorful fairylights starting at dusk.
It is, in a word, charming!
There were other annoyances, of course. We had arranged to stay in a hotel for three nights while we tracked down more permanent lodging, but it turned out that most places didn't do long-term lodging in the "high season" of January and February — or they were already booked up. After a bit of a panic, we finally found a place, but ended up paying more than we wanted ($850/month US), though we're moving to a cheaper (and much nicer) place in thirty days ($550/month).
Meanwhile, you also can't drink the tap water, there are no public trashcans anywhere, and some Thai toilets…well, that's probably the subject of another post.
Best of all is the food! It's obviously what Thailand is most famous for in the west, but it must be said: Thai cooking is simply much, much better here than anywhere else I've eaten it. Why is this? Have the recipes been altered for (foolish) Western tastes? Or do all the mediocre cooks leave the country because they can't cut it here?
There's also nothing quite as good as fresh mango and pineapple for breakfast every morning.
I always hate to dwell on the cost of living in poorer countries, because what seems "cheap" to me isn't inexpensive to most of those who live here. Still, it must be said: meals in Thailand are even cheaper than they were in Bulgaria. You can easily eat a large meal of fantastic street food for $2 a person. In a nicer restaurant, it might be a bit more expensive — maybe $6 or $7. The aforementioned mango or pineapple is $1 or less for a whole one, cut fresh for you by the vendor selling it.
And did I mention how amazing the food is?
We're also very happy with the co-working facility, KoHub, an impressive complex that includes both outdoor and (air-conditioned) indoor working spaces; a large jungle garden for walking and pondering; and a restaurant that serves meals either at your workspace or in the cafe or garden.
Oh! And I've already made lots of feline friends, including one that shares my work-station! Thai cats are as friendly as their keepers.
I'm sure we'll have other Thailand updates soon.
But for now, Michael and I are off to the beach for a twilight swim in the ocean, then a simple dinner of Pad Thai from a little stand just up in the trees.
Update: Here it is, below! Extremely yummy, and not just because it's surrounded by Thailand at sunset.

Jonathan Demme, the Academy Award®-winning director of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, as well as such films as MELVIN AND HOWARD, SOMETHING WILD, PHILADELPHIA and BELOVED, was ready for a change. After devoting himself to the discipline of classically structured films for more than a decade, he wanted to return to the more playful and escapist style of some of his earlier films like SOMETHING WILD, MARRIED TO THE MOB, and the first pictures he did with Roger Corman.
He had an idea: what if he could take one of his all-time favorite flicks, Stanley Donen's 1963 romantic thriller CHARADE, as a jumping-off point for a sometimes faithful, sometimes radically different new version - dramatically reshaping the relationships and personalities of the lead characters, de-emphasizing key elements of the original, amping up other aspects of the story and setting, and frequently taking the original storyline in entirely new directions. Demme's picture would still be set in Paris, but instead of focusing largely on Parisian charm and elegance, his characters would inhabit a different "City of Lights" with its own quirks, sprawl, diversity, sounds, and surprises. Stylistically, he would depart from the High Style of the original in favor of an approach that was just blossoming in the Paris of the early '60's - the fabled "French New Wave" that gave birth to the films of François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, Agnes Varda, Jacques Demy, Alain Resnais, and many others.
While paying homage to both Donen and the Nouvelle Vague, Demme invites moviegoers to sit back and take an unconventional, unpredictable and thoroughly cinematic ride with THE TRUTH ABOUT CHARLIE. Starring Thandie Newton as a young woman searching for answers about her husband's murder and a missing fortune, and Mark Wahlberg as the mysterious 'helping hand' all too ready to assist her at every turn.
Her name is Regina Lambert (Newton). She meets Joshua Peters (Wahlberg) while vacationing in Martinique with plans to return home and terminate her recent marriage to the enigmatic Charles Lambert (Stephen Dillane). Life with the charming Charles started out with tremendous excitement and promise, but things have gone quickly and dismayingly downhill.
But upon her return to Paris, they get much worse...
Reggie no longer needs the divorce. Charles has been murdered. Their apartment and bank account have been completely emptied. She is totally freaked. A trio of Charles' former (and very ominous) cohorts, Il-Sang Lee (Joong-Hoon Park), Emil Zadapec (Ted Levine), and Lola Jansco (Lisa Gay Hamilton), are menacing her in hopes of recovering a bundle of missing cash. As chance would have it, Joshua is in Paris now, too, anxious to help.
Regina could use the assistance, because the more she learns, the more she needs to discover to fill in the missing pieces of this puzzle and to protect herself from the escalating danger. In the midst of all the chaos, Joshua reveals a growing affection for Reggie, even as disturbing allegations about him surface and undermine her trust.
Hard-edged Paris Police Commandant Dominique (Christine Boisson) considers Regina herself a likely suspect in Charlie's death. The attentions of a by-the-book American embassy official (Tim Robbins) make her situation even more complicated. But as the pressure on her increases, Reggie's struggle to extricate herself from the web of deceit and intrigue surrounding Charlie's murder transforms into a belief that, in fact, she must learn the truth about Charlie - and herself - in order to move forward with her life (if she survives the search!). As the truth about Charlie finally emerges, the truth about the smitten Joshua likewise comes into startling focus.

Physiological responses in relation to performance during competition in elite synchronized swimmers
Rodríguez-Zamora, L, Iglesias, X, Barrero, A, Chaverri, D, Erola, P & Rodríguez, FA, 2012, 'Physiological responses in relation to performance during competition in elite synchronized swimmers'. PLoS ONE, vol 7., pp. e49098
PURPOSE: We aimed to characterize the cardiovascular, lactate and perceived exertion responses in relation to performance during competition in junior and senior elite synchronized swimmers.
METHODS: 34 high level senior (21.4 ± 3.6 years) and junior (15.9 ± 1.0) synchronized swimmers were monitored while performing a total of 96 routines during an official national championship in the technical and free solo, duet and team competitive programs. Heart rate was continuously monitored. Peak blood lactate was obtained from serial capillary samples during recovery. Post-exercise rate of perceived exertion was assessed using the Borg CR-10 scale. Total competition scores were obtained from official records.
RESULTS: Data collection was complete in 54 cases. Pre-exercise mean heart rate (beats·min(-1)) was 129.1 ± 13.1, and quickly increased during the exercise to attain mean peak values of 191.7 ± 8.7, with interspersed bradycardic events down to 88.8 ± 28.5. Mean peak blood lactate (mmol·L(-1)) was highest in the free solo (8.5 ± 1.8) and free duet (7.6 ± 1.8) and lowest at the free team (6.2 ± 1.9). Mean RPE (0-10+) was higher in juniors (7.8 ± 0.9) than in seniors (7.1 ± 1.4). Multivariate analysis revealed that heart rate before and minimum heart rate during the routine predicted 26% of variability in final total score.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular responses during competition are characterized by intense anticipatory pre-activation and rapidly developing tachycardia up to maximal levels with interspersed periods of marked bradycardia during the exercise bouts performed in apnea. Moderate blood lactate accumulation suggests an adaptive metabolic response as a result of the specific training adaptations attributed to influence of the diving response in synchronized swimmers. Competitive routines are perceived as very to extremely intense, particularly in the free solo and duets. The magnitude of anticipatory heart rate activation and bradycardic response appear to be related to performance variability.


ASTANA – Kazakhstan is committed to the type of gender equality called for in the UN Women report published February 14, UN officials said.
"Kazakhstan has also committed to implementing the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), along with the other member states of the United Nations. Achieving gender equality and eliminating inequalities between women and men in Kazakhstan will demonstratively boost Kazakhstan toward its goal of becoming one of the 30 most-developed countries in the world; in fact, it may even be a game changer for Kazakhstan, to propel it into the future – now," said UN Women Representative in Kazakhstan Elaine Conkievich in a UN Women Kazakhstan press release.
UN Women has an office in Kazakhstan and its work is primarily related to leadership and political participation, combating violence against women, national planning and budgeting and intergovernmental support.
The recently released UN Women report calls for the need to ensure women and girls are not left behind in the organisation's Sustainable Development Agenda.
UN Women, established to promote gender equality and female empowerment, published "Turning promises into action: Gender equality in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." The report, based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), was approved by UN member states in 2015. Half of the SDG targets are in congruence with Kazakhstan's national objectives specified in the Kazakhstan 2050 Strategy and 100 Concrete Steps.
The document goes further than merely promoting SDGs, however, by advocating that sustainable development can hardly be achieved without gender equality. The breakdown of goals illustrates that gender inequality, ubiquitous in all countries, is related to all aspects of sustainable development and therefore essential for its fulfilment.
The four main recommendations involve adopting integrated policies to achieve multiple goals simultaneously, producing more statistical data to assess the status of the female population across all 17 SDGs, prioritising gender-responsive investments and policies aligned with the 2030 agenda and ensuring a comprehensive approach with gender as a focus.
The issue of gender equality is pervasive in areas related to basic needs, such as economic well-being, food security and health. Women are 8 percent more likely to live in abject poverty in Central and Southern Asia and 4 percent more likely to live in starvation. Maternal mortality rate in the region reaches 170 deaths per 100,000 births.
Regarding gender equality, about a quarter of women reported experiencing physical and/or sexual violence from her intimate partner within a 12-month period. High rates of child marriages are registered in Central and Southern Asia, as 16 percent of women marry below age 16 and 43 percent below age 18.
Moreover, women in the region are reported to do three times the unpaid care and domestic work compared to men. Females hold only 18.5 percent of parliamentary seats and comprise a third of researchers. In Kazakhstan, female representation in Parliament is approximately 23 percent.
Gender inequality is also present in other SDGs, such as decent work and economic growth, quality education, income inequalities and peace, justice and strong institutions.

The New Imitation Game
The Queer Sinitic Potentialities of Internet Romance Games
Taking as its starting point the "original" variant of Alan Turing's famous "imitation game" (in which a test subject attempts to differentiate, based purely on textual output, between a man and a woman), this article considers the ways in which gender and sexuality are simulated in the contemporary genre of virtual romance or dating video games. The article focuses on three Sinitic games, each of which strategically queers this predominantly heteronormative genre. In queering desire, moreover, these Sinitic games simultaneously suggest ways in which Chinese society itself may also be strategically queered.
On Sinofuturism
Resisting Techno-Orientalism in Understanding Kuaishou, Douyin, and Chinese A.I.
Yunying Huang
Dominant design narratives about "the future" contain many contemporary manifestations of "orientalism" and Anti-Chineseness. In US discourse, Chinese people are often characterized as a single communist mass and the primary market for which this future is designed. By investigating the construction of modern Chinese pop culture in Chinese internet and artificial intelligence, and discussing different cultural expressions across urban, rural, and queer Chinese settings, I challenge external Eurocentric and orientalist perceptions of techno-culture in China, positing instead a view of Sinofuturism centered within contemporary Chinese contexts.
Queer Sinofuturism
The Aberrant Movements and Posthumanist Mutations of Body, Identity, and Matter in Lu Yang's Uterus Man
Gabriel Remy-Handfield
In this article, I consider posthumanist and techno-scientific aesthetics in Lu Yang's short film Uterus Man (2013), a film in which a male superhero is interrogating the capacities of a body to mutate, affect, and to be affected. Profoundly influenced by Japanese popular cultural forms such as manga and anime, the artist also draws on sources ranging from Buddhism to developments in neuroscience and biology. I will use the work of post-Deleuzian thinkers Luciana Parisi and David Lapoujade to investigate how the different transformations of the body shown in Uterus Man chart the unpredictable capacity for bodies and matter to mutate in contemporary techno-aesthetic landscapes. In its ambiguity, can Uterus Man contribute to the emergence of a queer Sinofuturism? And what kind of future does the perverse superhero of Uterus Man represent?

Sade for Sade's Sake
Inside Paul Chan's Transmedial Laboratory
Olivier Delers
This article focuses on Paul Chan's 2007 art project Sade for Sade's Sake, which brings together a five-hour-long video installation, a number of drawings and collages, and a series of fonts inspired by the Marquis de Sade's writings called "alternumerics." I argue that Chan is engaged in a transmedial process that is intensely visual and performative and that actualizes Sade's aesthetics by reconfiguring the textual logorrhea central to his writing style. In his video installation, Chan imagines a new kind of sexual tableau that seeks to "show it all," but also turns the larger political statement that his project set out to make into an abstract exploration of forms. In Sade for Sade's Sake, Chan suggests that Sade is caught in a transmedial loop. Sade's writings are channeled into different types of visual media that try to convey the nature of his worldview and to capture its essence. In the end, however, images make way for a new kind of Sadean language that is based on the original texts but that also tends toward abstraction and the endless repetition of the same patterns.
The Tiger Penis Project
Kuang-Yi Ku
Many cultures have their own systems of alternative medicine, the effectiveness of which cannot always be proven according to contemporary scientific analysis; the use of the tiger penis to increase virility in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one such practice. While TCM may offer benefits beyond those available through mainstream western medicines, the huge demand for wild animals in TCM poses a threat to endangered species. Can a new interpretation of TCM resolve the conflict between health, culture, and environmental conservation? The Tiger Penis Project proposes the use of emerging biotechnologies to create artificial animal parts for Chinese medical applications both to prevent the further destruction of animals and traditional cultures and to provide more possibilities for the coexistence of human society and the natural environment.
