With booze provided by Blue Moon and zany art dignitaries and rebels aplenty, Contemporary Art Month will once again celebrate its opening at Blue Star Contemporary. The party, which will also mark the opening of three Blue Star exhibits — Justin Boyd's "Going on Going," Hans Ulrich Obrist, Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier's "Do It & Do It" and Works Progress' "Blue Star Ice Company" — is a great moment to network, clear your mind, and begin preparations for an art binge of San Anto proportions. Miss CAM Antonio will also be crowned at this event, which will be followed by the CAM Dance Happening Fundraiser ($10 entry donation), a pop-up art installation and after party hosted at Brick from 9 p.m.-midnight. Free, 6-9pm Thu, Blue Star Contemporary Art Museum, 116 Blue Star, (210) 227-6960, bluestarart.org. — James Courtney
"Plasticity"
T. Hopkins, Looking East
In addition to the 30th anniversary of Blue Star, the 2016 edition of CAM marks the fifth anniversary of Amada Miller's Hello Studio. After showcasing 50-plus Texas artists in a compact locale, the artist-run space is stretching its wings in a freshly refurbished upstairs unit combining a gallery and three studios — one of which is dedicated to a new residency program. As the inaugural resident, painter T. Hopkins unveils the fruits of his labor with "Plasticity," an exhibition highlighting his practice of repurposing plastic bags and other discarded items as unlikely canvases. Free, 6-9pm Fri, Hello Studio, 1420 S. Alamo St., Suite 209, (210) 291-8640, hellostudiosa.com.

International Woman's Day March & Rally
The Alamo City will unite Saturday to "uplift the voices of all women and girls" at the 26th annual San Antonio International Woman's Day March & Rally. The march takes to Downtown to highlight the needed effort to end racism, classism, homophobia, sexism; to stop violence against women, children and people of color; and to speak for those whose voices aren't heard or respected. A rally follows the march and will include, music, activities, community resources info, free STD testing, and speakers and performers, examining a variety of social issues, including transgender rights and climate change. Free, 10:30am, Plaza del Zacate, 501 W. Commerce St., sawomenwillmarch.org. — Mark Reagan
Rafael F. Gutierrez Jr., Blind March
While Contemporary Art Month's latest CAMx exhibition establishes a cross-cultural collaboration between San Antonio and Denver, "Three the Hard Way" and "#Clamplife" strike up a homegrown exchange between Freight and Clamp Light. Easier to summarize, Freight's "#Clamplife" (opening March 12 at 1913 S. Flores St.) showcases new works by the seven resident artists under Clamp Light's umbrella: Sunday Ballew, Carol Cunningham, Colleen O'Brien, Sarah T. Roberts, Jen Frost Smith, Tom Turner and Jose Villalobos. On the flipside, "Three the Hard Way" enlists local artist Raul Gonzalez as curator for three distinct solo shows set to transform Clamp Light throughout March. As the first up to bat, Rafael Fernando Gutierrez Jr. shows us "What It Means" through new drawings, paintings and a performance exploring his experiences as a military veteran, civilian and artist. To sweeten the deal, Gonzalez steps in as DJ and all-purpose "hype man" enhancing all three receptions, which round out with Eric Breish's "Grim State" (March 11) and Alyssa Danna's "Love After Love" (March 19). Free, 7-10pm Sat, Clamp Light Artist Studios and Gallery, 1704 Blanco Road, Suite 104, (713) 594-2735, contemporaryartmonth.com. — BR
"Seven Minutes in Heaven"
Erotic in Texas
When paired with the controversial cancellation of this year's CAM Perennial, the closure of the seedy Fox Motel (host of the first four editions of "Seven Minutes in Heaven") might make one wonder if this is the CAM of vanishing venues. But for artist/curator Jessica Garcia and her aptly named Invisible Gallery, the (peep) show must go on. Billed as a "one-night stand," her naughty pop-up's fifth incarnation is set to take over a warehouse with NSFW offerings created by the likes of Albert Alvarez, Julián P. Ledezma, Logan Magz and the collectives Foursome and Erotic in Texas, plus music by Austin-based DJ Dirty T. Free, 6-10pm Sat, 1202 W. Elsmere Pl., invisibleartgallery.com. — BR
"That Thing on the Side of the Road"
Meghan Fest
As we attempt to apprise our readers on even a fraction of the endless arty sweetness that is CAM, we'd be remiss not to mention Saturday's opening of "That Thing on the Side of the Road," a show that thematically pairs music and visual art in a unique way. Curated by UTSA professor/all-around badass Hills Snyder and presented by the Spare Parts Mini Art Museum, the show unites 17 visual artists and eight musicians — all responding, in their own mediums, to the titular phrase. The resulting small-scale artworks and songs promise to be as diverse as the impressive group of artists Snyder recruited. Free, 7-9pm Sat, Period Modern, 4347 McCullough Ave., (210) 902-1217, contemporaryartmonth.com. — JC
Spurs vs. Kings
Kings center-forward DeMarcus Cousins may or may not be the best man in the NBA but he's definitely the most mercurial. Back in 2012, he was suspended for two games after confronting San Antonio icon Sean Elliott following a loss to the Spurs in Sacramento. At 6-foot-11 and 270 pounds, "Boogie" averages a double-double and was selected to his second consecutive All-Star Game just last month. Cousins' individual success has yet to translate into consistent wins for the Kings this season, and the team stands outside of the playoff picture in the West. The dysfunction in Sacramento doesn't rest solely on Cousins' shoulders, yet he often carries the blame. A physical matchup with David West should help Boogie relieve some tension. $40-$1,952, 7:30pm Sat, AT&T Center, One AT&T Center Pkwy., (210) 444-5000, attcenter.com. — M. Solis
CAMx: "Mock Pavilion"
This year's CAMx exhibit, hosted by Sala Diaz, is heavy. Literally. The 2,600 pounds of material, designed and crafted for the "Mock Pavilion" exhibit by Stephanie Kantor — including 1,600 hand-painted tiles, 36 ceramic vessels, tapestries and custom wallpapers — made the long journey from her home base at Black Cube in Denver to San Antonio by way of a huge shipping container. Kantor, selected by Cortney Stell of Black Cube as this year's CAMx artist, created her installation with Sala Diaz's repurposed environs and ethic in mind. Additionally, "the idea to engage the structure of the pavilion came from a recent trip to Istanbul, Turkey," she told the Current last week. Drawing on a visit to Topkapi Palace, "one of the most beautifully tiled architectural spaces in the world," she decided "to combine the site of the pavilion with museum period rooms and the interior of a home as collection." The resulting indoor/outdoor installation is a multicultural (and magical) transformation of the space that sees the artist "focus[ing] on a few cultures per room and [thinking of it] as a tableau." Free, 6-10pm Sat, Sala Diaz, 517 Stieren St., (972) 900-0047, contemporaryartmonth.com. — JC
Sat 3/5 - Sun 3/6
"Rodin: The Human Experience"
Auguste Rodin, Study for Torso of the Walking Man
After joining forces on Wall Street in 1970s-era New York, Iris and B. Gerald Cantor established a foundation "committed to sharing the treasures in their art collection with the broader public." Now encompassing the world's largest private collection of works by Auguste Rodin (known best for his iconic bronze The Thinker), the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation has taken shape in exhibitions staged in such high-profile locales as Rockefeller Center's Channel Gardens and the First Ladies' Garden at the White House. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the modern master's death, the touring "Rodin: The Human Experience, Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collections" brings together 32 bronzes, including depictions of writers Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac and God (which oddly doubles as self-portrait), his Torso of the Walking Man and works derived from a casting of his monumental sculptural group The Gates of Hell. $10-$15, 10am-5pm Sat-Sun, San Antonio Museum of Art, 200 W. Jones St., (210) 978-8100, samuseum.org. Through May 29. — BR
When broke playwright David Shayne needs cash for his new Broadway production, he makes a deal with the mob to get the funds. The catch? That gangster's got a girlfriend and she's looking to act. Based on Woody Allen's 1994 film, the musical comedy Bullets Over Broadway promises a score ripped right out of the 1920s and a bevy of wild characters, including a henchman named Cheech with an itch to rewrite and a leading fella with an insatiable appetite. Whatever your poison, this one-night-only staging boasts "the most effervescent new musical in years." $24.50-$74.50, 7pm Sun, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-8624, tobincenter.org. — Murphi Cook

The Gospel great talks new music, her TV projects and EMF.
Just one listen to any of Kim Burrell's songs is enough to make anyone who's never heard her name —or her powerhouse voice— a life-long fan. At this year's ESSENCE Music Festival, the gospel star wowed the crowd during her live performance, but that's not the only thing Burrell has got going on that her fans can marvel at. For one, she will be releasing a video project to commemorate her dear friend Whitney Houston. She'll also be starring in a much-anticipated reality TV series and releasing a new album soon, too.
We talked to the gospel great about all of her upcoming projects and how God is helping her stay steadfast through it all.
ESSENCE.com: You were amazing at the ESSENCE Music Festival! How did it feel to be on the Empowerment Experience stage?
KIM BURRELL: It feels good to be on the ESSENCE stage. It's such a pleasure and an honor to even be considered to come, and to know that they requested me means something altogether different. The ESSENCE stage is such a historical, legendary stage to share [my music] with my people. It means the world to me.
ESSENCE.com: What's next for you? When will we get some new music or a new album?
BURRELL: I'm actually working on two different things. I'm working on a commemorative project for Whitney Houston and I'm also talking to BET about a television show. Of course, we just entered into season five with Sunday Best so quite a bit is going on that I'm excited about. And another album is coming, too.
ESSENCE.com: Tell me a little more about the commemorative project. Will this be your tribute to her?
BURRELL: Absolutely. I've shot two videos to commemorate her and I'm working on a new show on Lifetime called the Houston Family Chronicles. I'm shooting with Gary, Pat and Bobbi Kristina. Whitney left me with a lot of work to do, I have to say. She left me with a list of things to do that I'm going to follow through with because of her. The pain of losing her will make me not want to do anything ever again, but because of what she left me to do, I have to follow through.
ESSENCE.com: How is Bobbi Kristina doing?
BURRELL: Bobbi Kris is doing good. As any teenager would, she has her struggles everyday but she's pushing though. I'm proud of her that she is doing exactly what her mother told her to do and that is to live.
ESSENCE.com: You look amazing, Kim. You've slimmed down. How are you maintaining your new, slim physique?
BURRELL: [Being on] the road and a nine-year-old son will do it every time. Running around with him and then just being mindful of what got me here to begin with. Protecting my heart and making sure my heart is healthy so it can keep the rest of me right. I'm happy to be alive.
ESSENCE.com: You have such a joyous, beautiful spirit and a strong relationship with the Lord. What keeps your faith going strong?
BURRELL: I am interested in only what God is interested in as it pertains to my life and the world. I love the word of God, I love talking to God. My communication through prayer is everything and I am reminded if you do good to others then good is going to come back to you. I constantly remind myself that God is my ultimate source and nothing else.

Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis
Jamieson Webster
Pub Date: November 2018
Conversion disorder—a psychiatric term that names the enigmatic transformation of psychic energy into bodily manifestations—offers a way to rethink the present. With so many people suffering from unexplained bodily symptoms; with so many seeking recourse to pharmacological treatments or bodily modification; with young men and women seemingly willing to direct violence toward anybody, including themselves—a radical disordering in culture insists on the level of the body.
Part memoir, part clinical case, part theoretical investigation, this book searches for the body. Is it a psychopathological entity; a crossroads for the cultural, political, and biological in the form of care; or the foundation of psychoanalytic work on the question of sexuality? Jamieson Webster traces conversion's shifting meanings—in religious, economic, and even chemical processes—revisiting the work of thinkers as diverse as Benjamin, Foucault, Agamben, and Lacan. She provides an intimate account of her own conversion from patient to psychoanalyst, as well as her continuing struggle to apprehend the complexities of the patient's body. When listening to dreams, symptoms, worries, or sexual impasses, the body becomes a defining trope that belies a vulnerable and urgent wish for transformation. Conversion Disorder names what is singular about the entanglement of the fractured body and the social world in order to imagine what kind of cure is possible.
Being dragged into the orbit of Webster's mind is like entering the Magic Mountain: you go in as a visitor, and stay as a patient. Tom Mcarthy, author of Remainder and Satin Island
Jamieson Webster's new work reflects upon that aspect of hysteria—or conversion disorder—that has eluded the attention of most commentators: the indifference of the subject at the very moment that the symptom is most clearly enacted. This point of departure allows Webster to think about what the body contains but also what traverses the body at a level that is prior to speech, that is perhaps the condition of speech itself. This incisive and unsettling meditation gives us a form of psychoanalytic writing that tracks the transference as bodily transformation and impasse. It is written in and for our times, when the courage and difficulty of the slow labor of psychoanalysis provides a perspective that eludes the certitudes of dogma and the exhilarations of false promises. Webster's book asks us to stay within the domain of difficult exchange where what registers and shifts at the level of the body lets us know more about what we can expect of life and what our own living carries of the lives of others. Beautifully written, theoretically brave, and disturbing in all the best ways. Judith Butler, Maxine Elliot Professor of Comparative Literature and Critical Theory, University of California, Berkeley
Jamieson Webster's Conversion Disorder approaches the unscalable wall of failed sublimation that marks the problem of intensities that rise and fall without apparent events. "Through the question of affect, the body insists." This is not affect theory in the usual critical sense—affect here means being affected, speaking to the kind of excitability that communicates beyond the scene. There's beautiful writing here, giving us an account of the affective impasses of the symptom. Lauren Berlant, George M. Pullman Distinguished Service Professor, University of Chicago, author of Cruel Optimism
As ever, Jamieson Webster's writing is provocative and challenging, inviting us to question the comfort zones of contemporary discourse. In her unique style, she combines a meditation on her own psychoanalytic practice with an engagement with clinical and conceptual issues that are relevant to all of us: anxiety, the body, desire, dreams, and what it means to listen to others. And, for the first time in psychoanalytic literature, there is an appendix about the author's appendix! Darian Leader, psychoanalyst and author of The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia, and Depression
Conversion Disorder is a wonderful book and a pleasure to read—each page sparkles with insight. What I like in this book is the frankness of the author's self-presentation—with her doubts about her profession, her family background marked by separation, and her many readings of philosophers, all interesting, some surprising, like Bachelard, but always bringing something relevant. Jean-Michel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
[Conversion Disorder] masterfully integrates some pretty heavy psych theory into a surprisingly personal framework. Intellectually dense but definitively accessible, the book illustrates what it is that makes Jamieson unique. VICE

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand Could Miss Rest Of Season With Calf Injury
By Adithya Ananth
Boss respectful of Barcelona ahead of Champions League draw
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Rio Ferdinand could be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
The defender has had trouble with injuries in the past, missing a significant portion of last season before being ruled out of the 2010 World Cup.
And having been stripped of the armband at club level - with Nemanja Vidic taking over - due to infrequent appearances, recent reports point towards England boss Fabio Capello handing the national team captaincy back to John Terry.
"Rio has been out for a few weeks now," Ferguson told reporters.
"We are not looking at this as a short-term situation.
"He has not started training yet. We will be lucky to get him back for some part of the season."
It only adds to club's the defensive problems, as Vidic, Rafael and John O'Shea are all sidelined with injuries.
"We're having a bad spell," said the Scot. "Only a few weeks ago we had every defender fit. We've got the bonus of Wes Brown being able to play centre-back and right-back, and Chris Smalling has been brilliant."
Jonny Evans, however, could be back in time for the Red Devils' clash against Bolton, but the boss maintained that "it's a risk as he's been out so long".
Concerning the availability of some of his other outfield players, Ferguson said: "Fletcher is still suffering from a virus. Anderson is doing well running wise and getting close to a return. Owen Hargreaves trained all week which is good news. Park has been training and may be on the bench on Saturday. Michael Owen is available."
The 69-year-old was also dejected about facing a five-match touchline ban for his comments on referee Martin Atkinson.
He said: "It's disappointing. This is the only industry where you can't tell the truth. But it's in the past. I've not decided about appealing."
But before he begins serving his suspension on Saturday, the Scot will find out which club his team are pitted against in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
And he insists that his players will not be troubled if they meet Barcelona in the next stage of the European competition.
"We have experience of Barcelona, we knocked them out in semis [in 2008], and we lost to them in the final [in 2009]," he said.
"They rarely change their team, that's a fantastic feat if you think about it. Week in, week out with the same players - Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Dani Alves - it's fantastic.
"It's difficult, I don't know what they do in their training. In our league we know the games drain you. You need a strong squad. Spain is a different type of football, that may help. The climate is better, whatever it is, they do well at it."

A Florida woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to obstructing a 2017 regulatory inspection in connection with an alleged scheme to fraudulently falsify clinical drug trial data, officials stated.
According to court documents, Olga Torres, 49, of Miami, co-owned a clinical research site called Unlimited Medical Research. Unlimited Medical Research was one of many companies hired to conduct a clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of asthma medication in children.
As part of her plea agreement, Torres admitted that she knowingly lied to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigator during a 2017 regulatory inspection concerning the firm.
Specifically, Torres admitted that she falsely portrayed the clinical trial as having been conducted legitimately and honestly, when in fact Torres knew that certain data associated with the clinical trial had been falsified.
Three other defendants — Yvelice Villaman Bencosme M.D., Lisett Raventos and Maytee Lledo — previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced in connection with falsifying data associated with the clinical trial at Unlimited Medical Research.
"Clinical trials help ensure the safety of new drugs, and falsifying clinical trial data can put the public at risk," said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Michael D. Granston of the Justice Department's Civil Division. "We will continue to work with our partners at the FDA to investigate and prosecute those who undermine the integrity of the clinical trial process."
The FDA OCI is investigating the case.

2012 marks the fifth anniversary of one of Lebanon's bloodiest battles since the end of the civil war: the deadly, three-month war pitting a jihadi group against the army in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp. Since then, the camp's displaced and resident population has suffered from slow reconstruction of their residences, a heavy security presence that restricts their movement and livelihood as well as the absence of a legitimate Palestinian body to represent their interests. Today, there are bigger and more urgent fish to fry, none more so than dealing with the ripple effects of Syria's raging internal conflict on inter-sectarian relations in Lebanon and the risk that the country once again could plunge into civil war. But it would be wrong to toss the refugee camp question aside, for here too resides a potential future flare-up.
In Lebanon, attention typically shifts seamlessly from one crisis to another. What may look like a sign of stability should be a source of concern. It is the manifestation of a political system almost entirely focused on managing symptoms of conflict without genuinely tackling their causes. Instead, the state, refugee population and UN agency should work together to speed up the reconstruction of Nahr al-Bared by freeing up as much land as possible for residential use; minimising the presence of Lebanese security forces in the camp; removing discriminatory laws in the camps; and introducing a Palestinian body to represent the refugees' interests in decision-making.
The conflict that erupted in May 2007 brought face-to-face the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and a previously unknown Islamist fundamentalist group, Fatah al-Islam, based inside Nahr al-Bared. A bank robbery swiftly snowballed into an armed confrontation against the militants who killed several soldiers at an LAF checkpoint on the camp's perimeter. Backed by a public incensed by pictures of the soldiers' corpses, the army entered the camp, from which state security forces traditionally had been barred since 1969. Lebanese forces prevailed, but in the process much of the camp was devastated and 27,000 residents were displaced.
From all this destruction and loss, something good was supposed to come out: a model of coexistence between the state and Palestinian camps. The government appears to have taken the task seriously, developing a new vision, the so-called Vienna Document. It has yet to live up to expectations.
Camp reconstruction, led by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and funded by international donors, has lagged. Responsibility for this falls on inefficient contractors and a tug-of-war between on the one hand the army and the Internal Security Forces (ISF), which want more space in the camp and, on the other, UNRWA, which needs more land to build residential buildings. Living conditions likewise are unsatisfactory. The LAF has imposed a strict permit system that restricts access to the camp by both Lebanese and non-resident Palestinians, isolating Nahr al-Bared economically and socially. Because the ISF gradually is expanding its presence in the camp, the refugees fear that the discriminatory employment and property laws they face in Lebanon will be imposed for the first time in a camp, thereby severely affecting their livelihood. The Vienna Document does not allocate a meaningful governance role to Palestinian entities, thus marginalising the local population when it comes to key decisions regarding camp management and security.
The Palestinian refugees – and Lebanon – deserve better. The typical model of camp governance has serious flaws and is in need of repair. Power traditionally lies in the hands of Popular Committees comprising unelected faction leaders who derive most of their legitimacy from their weapons. With state security forces essentially banned from interfering, residents often complain of chaos and inter-factional strife in large, armed, and unregulated pockets immune to Lebanese law and order. Nahr al-Bared offered a real opportunity to build something different insofar as faction leaders had lost out – because they no longer possessed weapons and because they no longer enjoyed the trust of refugees who largely blamed them for failing to protect the camp.
But the new model that is taking form is not the answer. It is failing the basic task of restoring refugees to a normal life – at least as normal a life as refugeehood can allow. The relationship between camp residents and the state has not improved; rather, given the overwhelming security presence, refugees tend to see the authorities in the least appealing light: not protecting them, but rather protecting the country from them. They fear enforcement of discriminatory laws. Rigid permit requirements and rough treatment at camp checkpoints hurt intercommunal relations, already significantly damaged by the conflict which many Lebanese blamed on Palestinian refugees for harbouring jihadi militants and during which some Palestinians felt their Lebanese neighbours had been either complicit in their displacement or unwelcoming in the crisis's aftermath. Most importantly, lacking an effective representative, Palestinians in Nahr al-Bared feel more disenfranchised than before.
There is still time to get things right. Should that be the case, the experience of Nahr al-Bared – after all the death and destruction it has endured – could help put relations between Palestinian refugees on the one hand, and the Lebanese and their state on the other, on firmer and sounder footing.
1. Host a new donors conference to mark the state's commitment to rebuild Nahr al-Bared.
c) Ensuring UNRWA has adequate decision-making power with respect to camp reconstruction.
3. Legalise Palestinian rights to employment, property and assembly inside the camps to formally protect Palestinian civil rights.
4. Revive and strengthen the role of the Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee (LPDC) in all camps, especially Nahr al-Bared, in order to give the state a civilian face, and task it with producing recommendations on the government's and security forces' roles in the camps.
5. Increase the number of town hall meetings that include Palestinian representatives and Lebanese residents from surrounding areas in order to improve relations between the two communities.
b) Establishing a clear, simple and uniform process for obtaining a permit until abolishing the permit system becomes possible.
7. Limit LAF presence to the perimeters of the camp and coordinate security matters with the Internal Security Forces and the Palestinian popular committees inside the camp.
8. Reconsider plans to establish a permanent LAF regiment and a naval base inside the camp, both of which undermine the camp's civilian nature.
9. Forgo plans to build a police station inside the old camp, which would disturb the reconstruction process; instead gradually deploy ISF officers from their base in the new camp to the old camp.
10. Clarify the meaning of community policing to camp residents and ban practice of using camp residents as informants.
11. Empower the popular committees by ensuring their representatives are elected and opening the elections to all adult members of society; in the meantime, develop a list of criteria according to which popular committee members should be appointed.
12. Create a single representative Palestinian body that includes all factions to serve as a unified interlocutor for the Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee.
13. Ban the ostensible display of weapons in all camps, especially Ain al-Helweh; in Ain al-Helweh coordinate with the army outside the camp to prevent and punish acts of violence.
14. Promote the establishment of a non-governmental organisation, independent of the factions and other political individuals, to bolster the effectiveness of consultations between camp residents and UNRWA architects.
15. Fulfil fundraising commitments to speed up the reconstruction process in Nahr al-Bared and improve living conditions in areas where displaced Nahr al-Bared refugees are living.

Anne Forrester Holloway was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Mali on November 6, 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. She was the first African American woman to hold that post.
Forrester was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on June 2, 1941. She attended public schools in Philadelphia but then transferred to a predominantly white school, Northfield Mount Hermon School, in Gill, Massachusetts, graduating June 1959. She graduated from Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont in 1963 and later received her master's degree in African Studies at Howard University in 1968. Ms. Forrester's doctoral work culminated with a 1975 degree from the Union Institute & University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In the 1970s Forrester met and married Marvin Holloway. The two of them became involved with Washington D.C.'s Drum and Spear Bookstore and Press, a center of Black Nationalist activity in the nation's capital. She eventually advanced to the position of managing editor of the Press. Additionally, she worked as a part time staffer for Congressman Andrew Young, a Democrat and member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the state of Georgia. When Young became the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, she worked as Staff Director for his State Department office in Washington D.C.
While working for Ambassador Young, Forrester participated with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Her work with that agency took her to Lesotho and Ghana and later to Barbados and the eastern Caribbean. She also worked with the United Nations Regional Bureau for Africa, and supported the work of the United Nations Foundation under its then director, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who is now President of Liberia. Ms. Forrester also became a senior adviser to the administrator in charge of launching the United Nations Foundation and in her first year raised $20 million for the organization.
With an extensive background in development work in Africa, Forrester was more qualified than most U.S. ambassadors to head an Embassy delegation on that

Q: Tell flash sandbox to only allow local Is there a way to allow a Flash app to access local files?
I've build an app that's just for local use and not for web use but i run into sandbox errors because the app consists of several .xml and .swf files.
I understand this can be changed by telling the security settings to trust the app but it should be easy to use so this is not an option.
I also know this can be achieved by porting the app to AIR but i really hope there's a simpler solution.
The app (swf) is embedded in a (local) html page.

A: This is precisely what AIR is for, and it shouldn't require any porting. Just change the player to Adobe Air in the flash tab under Publish Settings.

A: If you do not want to use AIR.
You can export swf file to flash projector ( .exe ( win ) .app ( mac os ) ).
how to:

*

*goto: http://goo.gl/5iqnJ

*download Projector or Projector content debugger. install it.

*open your swf with it

*Choose File -> Create Projector.( win ) on mac os something similar.

regards.

The Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece illuminates The Blanton Museum of Art
"Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece" – The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin.
Showcased by The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin, The Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece is a traveling art gallery highlighting an illuminated Medieval manuscript from the 13th century. Traveling to seven different countries in the world over a timeline of seven centuries, this French Gothic manuscript from the Middle Ages is created by seven anonymous artists. Depicting selected stories from the Old Testament, retold in the era and culture of Medieval period, originally this one-of-a-kind manuscript was designed to be a picture-book without any script. These colorful illustrations were intended to portray biblical stories without any annotations, explaining why each drawing is so very graphic, specific and characteristic. However, as the Crusader Bible journeyed seven times from France to Italy, Poland, Persia, Egypt, England and the United States: alterations were made and inscriptions were added in various languages, including Latin, Persian and Juedo-Persian.
Upon entrance into The Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece, the rooms of the gallery are glittering with 40 illuminated pages of gold leafs (pure gold that has been hammered down into thin sheets). The gold is still so remarkably shiny that it's almost hard to believe this manuscript is nearly 1000 years old. Even under dimmed lighting within a museum, the gold leafs on the pages are so prominent and bold that the display cases within the gallery shine similarly to a jewelry display case. Fortunately the Crusader Bible has withstood the tests of time and it comes to no surprise that these handmade manuscripts are very challenging to make, often taking many years to complete. There is a very specific and thorough process to creating illuminated manuscripts, beginning with the preparation of the parchment paper. Parchment paper derives from animal skin and once it's finished after weeks of preparation. Then scribes would begin inscriptions. Once the scribe had finished their task, the illuminator left its mark on the parchment paper before sending the manuscript over to bindery. An illumniator is the artist whom illuminated the manuscript with silver or gold leafing. They were responsible for lighting up the pages with precious metals.
Silver, gold and colorful illuminations aren't the only part of the Crusader Bible that catch the eye. The carbon black inscriptions also carry a dominant presence. Admiring all the various scripts in different languages is quite compelling because it notes the seven foreign locations and cultures the Crusader Bible ventured to. The number seven is believed to be a divine number of truth and mysticism within numerology studies and spiritual texts. Therefore it's an interesting coincidence that the number seven plays such a predominant and powerful role in the history of the Crusader Bible. Furthermore, the black calligraphy is immaculate in every language and it took scribes endless hours to complete the script; using a quill pen to write the script and a knife to cut away ink errors when necessary. The carbon black ink used by the scribes is referred to as lampblack. And even though most of us cannot read Latin, Persian or Juedo-Persian. With the use of modern technology and an application called Layar, guests can scan the Medieval manuscript and the application translates it for you right that instant.
Additionally, this special exhibit also features European arms and armor, an illustrated book from Persia, and a large display case featuring many of the tools, rocks, metals and pigments used to inscribe, illustrate and illuminate the parchment paper. There is also a video to regard the process from preparing the parchment paper to the final result in bindery. The Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece will be on display until April 3, 2016. For more information regarding The Blanton Museum of Art and its hours of operation, admission, upcoming exhibitions or membership, please call 512-471-7324 or visit www.blantonmuseum.org.
"The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin presents The Crusader Bible: A Gothic Masterpiece, an exhibition of over forty unbound pages from the one of the most celebrated French illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages. The illuminations include some of the most compelling visualizations of the Old Testament, bringing Bible stories to life through vivid images that reflect medieval culture and the world of the Crusades. Designed to resonate with thirteenth-century French viewers, biblical characters are depicted as battling knights, equipped with contemporary arms and armor, and situated within medieval French towns. Loans from the Metropolitan Museum, including a shirt of mail, sword, prick spur, and war hat, will augment visitors' understanding of the weaponry featured in the Crusader Bible. On loan from the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, the Crusader Bible features Old Testament scenes in medieval settings, with brilliantly colored illustrations attributed to seven anonymous artists. To provide historical context for the Bible, the presentation features medieval arms and armor from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Also included are sixteenth-century Persian illustrations from the Metropolitan and the Ardashīr-nāma, a seventeenth-century Judeo-Persian manuscript of Old Testament stories from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York. The history of the Crusader Bible is fascinating, covering seven centuries and multiple continents. Likely created in Paris during the 1240s for King Louis IX of France— famous for building the Sainte-Chapelle and for leading two crusades— the Bible then passed to the king's younger brother, Charles of Anjou, who took it to Italy. More than four centuries later, the Archbishop of Cracow acquired and offered it as a diplomatic gift to the great Shah of Persia, 'Abbas I. By the eighteenth century, the manuscript belonged to an anonymous Persian Jew. After its journey from France to Italy, Poland, and Persia, the Bible traveled to Egypt, England, and finally to the Morgan Library & Museum in the United States. The Crusader Bible, which originally had no text, bears inscriptions in Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian. They function as evidence of its changing ownership throughout the centuries and reflect how each owner used his language to lay claim to the book, appropriating its imagery for assimilation into their respective cultures."

A detailed Break down of Cree Cicchino's relationship
Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic
By Lilyanne Rice - On Apr 21, 2020
Cree Cicchino was the star of the Nickelodeon show, Game Shakers, which aired from September 2015 to June 2019. She played the role of a humorous and confident 12-year-old who invented the game Sky Whale and later the gaming company called Game Shakers. The Queens, New York native was born to be an entertainer, and she first performed as a dancer when she was four years old.
Cicchino initially wanted to be a dancer and singer, but when the opportunity to be an actor arose, she grabbed it with both hands. Cree's relationship status has been the subject of speculation since she burst onto the limelight. This article will breakdown her relationships. We can confirm that Cree is currently single.
Cree was rumored to be dating Henry Danger star Jace Norman

Jace Norman and Cree were rumored to be dating when their characters crossed paths and spent Valentine's Day together. After the episode aired, fans were convinced that the couple was dating in real life. However, Cree revealed in an interview with Celeb Secrets that she and Jace were good friends. The Game Shakers star stated:
"It was great! Jace is super talented and we had a lot of fun. It's always nice to work with a good friend."
Jaheem Toombs proposed to Cree Cicchino on Valentine's Day 2020
Jaheem and Cree caused an internet meltdown on Valentine's Day 2020 when the duo posted a series of photos of Jaheem's proposal to Cree. The proposal happened in front of the castle in Disneyland. One of the images showed Jaheem on one knee, and Cree overwhelmed by the moment. Another photo showed a close up of the ring on Cree's finger.
However, it turned out to be a fake proposal. Later in the day, Cree updated her Instagram captions to read:
"…now I'm in a whole new world with you. Update: Definitely NOT engaged! Apologies for the confusion. We thought it would be fun to take some fake little proposal pics in front of the castle at Disney, on Valentine's Day. We are the best of friends and love each other very much! But we can happily confirm we are NOT actually engaged. With Love, Cree and Jah."

Today, the sad truth is that I know too many people that have impacted my life, ranging from ages 3 to 90 who have been affected by Cancer.
Today, I personally know 8 people who have lost their battles, 4 people who have won & will continue to monitor and stay ahead of their battles, and 2 who are really fighting hard! These numbers will continue to go up. That's TOO MANY people!!
I chose these two women on my hands bc if it weren't for them, i wouldnt be here. Both of my grandmothers "Ba" (Shirley Cassidy) & "Gram" (Clara Bisceglia) had cancer, at times beat cancer & ultimately were taken from us way too soon due to this horrible disease.
Spread the word. Support The H Foundation. And share your #CancerisPersonal story. Together we can make a difference.


MINNEAPOLIS, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Piper Jaffray & Co. will participate in National Teach Children to Save Day on Tuesday, April 26. This is the fifth year Piper Jaffray has participated in the program that was originally developed by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation in 1997.
Piper Jaffray has developed its own fun and interactive curriculum to present to children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. The program was developed to introduce the important concepts of saving and investing money at an early age. Nearly 60 Piper Jaffray employees will visit 55 elementary schools across the United States in conjunction with National Teach Children to Save Day.
"For more than a century, Piper Jaffray employees have been integrally involved in the communities in which we live and work," said Andrew Duff, chairman and chief executive officer of Piper Jaffray. "Teaching children how to save, spend and share their money is a great way for us to help our kids achieve a solid financial footing in the future and make their own community contributions."
During the presentation, Piper Jaffray employees will introduce financial basics by using a brainteaser as well as introducing the concepts of stocks and bonds through interactive exercises. Finally, the children receive a Moneybox, which has three sections: saving, spending and sharing. "The Moneyboxes are a great tool to show children there is more than just spending money, that they can also use their money to help others in their community," said Duff.

This 1953 cover has a normal postmark and two French service markings.
A postal marking is any kind of annotation applied to a letter by a postal service. The most common types are postmarks and cancellations; almost every letter will have those. Less common types include forwarding addresses, routing annotations, warnings, postage due notices and explanations, such as for damaged or delayed mail and censored or inspected mail. A key part of postal history is the identification of postal markings, their purpose, and period of use.
Service marks provide information to the sender, recipient, or another post office. Advice marks notify about forwarding, missending, letters received in bad condition, letters received too late for delivery by a certain time, or the reason for a delay in mail delivery. (For example, a letter may be marked "snowbank" if snow accumulation not cleared by the potential recipient, or for whatever other reason, makes it difficult or impossible for the carrier to deliver the mail.) Dead letter offices would use various markings to keep track of their progress in finding the addressee, such as a notation that the letter had been advertised in the local newspaper. The tracking process for registered mail may entail multiple marks, notations and backstamps.
Auxiliary marks are applied by an organization other than the postal administration. For instance, 19th century mail delivery often relied on a mix of private ships, steamboats, stagecoaches, railroads, and other transportation organizations to transport mail. Many of these organizations applied their own markings to each item, sometimes saying simply "STEAMSHIP" or some such, while others had elaborate designs. Similar routing notations were also used in the early days of airmail.
Shortly after the outbreak of the American Civil War, the Northern authorities declared the existing postage stamps invalid and issued new types. Letters using the demonetized stamps received a marking "OLD STAMPS NOT RECOGNIZED", an unintentionally humorous comment much prized by collectors today.
Post offices may add cachets for special events such as a first flight.
The traditional way to apply a postal marking is with the use of a rubber or metal handstamp; handwritten notations are sometimes seen for unusual situations or in very small post offices. In the United States, modern postal markings may appear in the form of yellow adhesive labels with the text printed on them. Many postal administrations now have the ability to print inkjet annotations directly onto a cover, either as a barcode for reading by other equipment, or as text.
Although it is technically possible to query postal services to find out what kinds of postal markings they use, in practice they do not seem to know about all the kinds of handstamps used in their offices, and previously unknown types of postal markings, both early and modern, regularly come to light. Hundreds of specialized works make up the philatelic literature of postal markings.

ESA's acting CEO stays neutral on unionization, opposes 'gaming disorder'
February 21, 2019 | By Kris Graft
More: Business/Marketing
As acting president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association, Stanley Pierre-Louis views himself as one of the leading voices for the positive impact video games can have on society.
"We're seeing video games being used in lots of positive ways, and that's a great narrative for video games," he said in a recent interview with Gamasutra during the DICE Summit in Las Vegas this month.
It's in the ESA's interest to highlight the positive aspects of the game industry – ESA is the U.S. trade organization and lobbying group that represents some of the biggest corporations in the industry, including Epic Games, Activision Blizzard, and Nintendo, to name just a few.
So last summer, when the World Health Organization officially classified "gaming disorder" alongside established addictive disorders, Pierre-Louis, who's been with the ESA since 2015 as general counsel, took particular issue with the classification's negative connotations.
"[The ESA's] concern with this particular classification – 'gaming disorder' as being proposed by WHO – is that it's not based on medial consensus. It's based on a point of view by some medical experts," Pierre-Louis said.
WHO's website states that the decision to include the "gaming disorder" classification is "based on reviews of available evidence and reflects a consensus of experts from different disciplines and geographical regions."
WHO defines gaming disorder as such:
Gaming disorder is defined in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as a pattern of gaming behavior ("digital-gaming" or "video-gaming") characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.
For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behaviour pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning and would normally have been evident for at least 12 months.
In a corresponding talk he gave at DICE, he noted that the American Psychological Association, American Medical Association, and American Psychiatric Association all declined to classify "any level of video game use as a disorder."
Pierre-Louis said that a "gaming disorder" misdiagnosis could have negative consequences on people with physical and/or mental health issues. "There are several instances where kids who have turned to video games to escape mental and physical abuse are undergoing treatment for 'gaming disorder' instead of the underlying abuse they've endured," he said.
Some people do have unhealthy video game habits that they form, and when someone has underlying addictive or compulsive tendencies, they can get "hooked" on games, sometimes to extreme effect.
Pierre-Louis acknowledged that there is debate among medical experts that amounts to whether games cause disorder, versus game addiction "being a symptom of a larger concern." (He sides with the latter notion.)
So where does that leave game developers in terms of responsibility to players; to not invoke compulsive tendencies? Pierre-Louis declined to speak directly about what individual game developers should do, and rather deferred to the game industry's history of self-regulation, such as the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.
"I think that the video game industry has the strongest self-regulation model of any entertainment industry," he said. "That's the Federal Trade Commission [who says that], that's not Stan talking…We have an industry that really listens to consumers."
Meeting with Trump on gun violence
Following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida last year that left 14 students and three staff dead, and many wounded, the Trump administration saw fit to invite representatives from the game industry, including the ESA, to talk about video games and real-world violence.
Asked about the reasoning behind attending at all – the ESA is quick to cite studies that show no evidence of a link between games and real-world violence – Pierre-Louis argued that the game industry needed to speak up in order to avoid being scapegoated.
"Our takeaway was…we were able to express the importance of video games writ large," he said. "We were also able to look at the evidence that's out there about what happens when people play the same games in the United States, vs. other countries.
"The same games are distributed worldwide, but you don't have the same violence issues in other countries that you have here, which says that there's something else going on—it's not video games. I think that had a really big impact on discussions."
Pierre-Louis said that even though a meeting with The White House might not translate into policy, being part of the discussion is important in order to avoid video games from becoming "stifled due to concerns that are unwarranted."
Neutral on unionization
Former ESA head Michael Gallagher last year said the organization is watching the topic of unionization from a distance, and not taking an active role in advocating for game workers. This comes amid pro-union traction in the wake of reports of crunch, lack of severance pay, mass layoffs, and in general, poor working conditions.
"[Unionization] hasn't been a significant issue in the game industry for the last ten years," he told Waypoint at the time.
Under Pierre-Louis, the ESA, which represents large corporations and the industry, and not necessarily their individual employees, distanced his organization from any definitive stance on unions or workers' rights.
"I know that our members and our industry wants the best place possible for the creation of games," he said. "And that means creating the workforce in a very respectful way. At the same time, [each company's workforce] needs to make its own independent judgment about issues related to unionization. That's not something ESA really engages on."
When further asked if the ESA would stay completely neutral on the issue of unionization, even in light of the GDC State of the Industry report that said nearly 50 percent of game devs believed game workers should unionize, Pierre-Louis reiterated it's up to each company's workforce, adding, "We're trying to amplify the positive of what the industry does. I think that answers your question."

Sales consultants are the bridge between a company and its customers. Their job is to promote and sell their business' services while creating good professional relationships with their clients.
A great sales consultant can make generating and closing sales look easy for the average people. What a normal person does not know, however, is that it takes time and effort to come up with ideas that would make salespeople do their job more effectively.
That said, how a sales consultant is able to take care of a customer from the start of a project can say a lot about how their company handles their clients.
So if you're planning to engage a web design agency for your business, consider the points below to know if the sales consultant you'll be discussing with will be helpful for your project.
In the web design industry, presenting a company's extensive portfolio and services to a client is not enough to convince them, even more so does it make them a good salesperson. Rather, it is more on how they, as a representative of their agency, are able to listen and understand their clients' needs.
Consultants should know that closing sales is more than just showcasing their agency's portfolio. After all, what they have done in the past won't matter if their present solutions don't match your current needs. For this reason, the sales consultant must know how to work their way through your requirements and provide the right answers to your problems.
It's no longer a surprise for people to be unfamiliar with a lot of web design and development jargons. Words like domain registration, hosting, content management system, SEO, and other technical practices can be easily seen as intimidating during a sales meeting. As such, they should be able to explain terminologies in simple terms for you to understand their company's expertise and processes.
Complex details are inevitable when it comes to web development. It will be highly beneficial for you if the sales consultant can help you understand every step of the project you are about to engage in. You must feel that they are not only there to sell their services, but are there to help you achieve what you want for your own business.
Businesses engage a professional web design and development company knowing they have the capable knowledge and expertise on what is best for them. They have a certain level of expectation and trust in terms of getting the right advice from whichever agency they tap.
A sales consultant can meet such a level of expectation by researching and recommending relevant trends and information beneficial for the client. At times, they even cite real-world issues and examples that could support their recommendation for you to feel that you really are in good hands.
For example, if a client is planning to ignore security features on their website, then they can cite and explain the mass data breach that happened in Singapore in 2018 for them to be convinced on how cybersecurity is important for both small and multinational businesses.
Even if a client already seems to have a concrete idea of what they want for their website, sales consultants, as frontrunners of a web development company's integrity, must always do the right thing for you. In this instance, doing the right thing is recommending what is best for a client's business.
It is undeniably tempting for sales consultants to impress a client by giving unrealistic promises such as unlimited revisions or delivering a project within a month. Overpromising and under-delivering is a negative testament to a web design agency's reputation as they are forced to disappoint a client right from the initial phase of a project's timeline.
A web sales consultant must recognise accountability to their clients and to themselves in every project they take. This means that they should be responsible for all work-related actions. Aside from that, they must be aware of every project detail for customers to be privy to realistic lead times and expectations.
Truth be told: salespeople in the web design industry are not fully knowledgeable about the technicalities in developing a website. There will be times when a client will ask technical questions on eCommerce or Custom Programming. As such, the sales consultant must be able to work with an expert in their team to give the client the reliable information they need.
A good sales consultant knows the value of teamwork. They leverage the knowledge of other people to deliver not the work of one individual, but the work of a team.
Often, businesses are not aware of what to expect in a web design project because they seldom update their website for years. They may be unaware of some essential website packages, features, or add-ons. That is why sales consultants provide them with a clear-cut quotation for them to know the results you are about to give.
Given that the quotation should also contain every detail of the project, every complex information in it is clarified for the customers' sake as well. In doing so, they are ensuring a certain level of client confidence as they free them from any questions before a project kicks off.
Making certain that both parties are clear about expectations can say something about how a company is keen on details and is committed to quality service. In a sense, it also represents how the agency is dedicated to making their clients satisfied and assured with every project milestone.
Web design and development services are more than just creating excellent websites. It's also about tending to businesses' online development and treating them as partners in reaching success.
Great consultants show that they care for a client's website like how they would their own. They know that building a nice website just marks the start and not the end of the partnership. Hence, the continuous journey of bringing in customers through proven practices such as SEO, SEM, or even social media marketing.
By treating clients as partners, sales consultants are helping them understand that web excellence requires commitment and consistency for their business to achieve a return on investment in the digital landscape.
Here at Verz, we treat our customers as partners by going beyond delivering project requirements. We apply the best practices and advise on opportunities that will help our clients meet their long-term goals.

Inter are like a third wheel that is preventing the couple of Manchester United and Ivan Perisic from marriage. The fact is that the Nerazzurri have been staying firm on its demand for the Croatian winger. The club of Suning is still asking for 55 million euros, not a penny less.
According to Premium Sport, at this point, given the impossibility of finding an agreement between the two clubs, the Croatian could really renew his contract with Inter while Manchester United are steering towards other objectives such as Gareth Bale of Real Madrid.
At this point, the player that Inter could sacrifice is Antonio Candreva who is wanted by Conte's Chelsea.

(This is an advertorial). A slew of reggae music blared through my portable speakers at the front seats of the van. It was Deng, our driver's playlist, interplay of songs from Indio I, Coco Jam, Tropical Depression and Popong Landero to keep him into his driving groove while we head to Batangas coast from Tagaytay. At the back my cousins, mom and brother were amused by the two toddlers own song performances during the drive. We were already mid-way through our 6-day vacation and everything was going well.

It seems I've been scaling deeper up north a lot lately and I really don't mind. It's time to get past the ever popular Ilocos region and cross the border just a step to Cagayan Region and explore the next town of Claveria. Known as the gateway to the Babuyanes Islands, Claveria is a small town with its livelihood revolving around fishing. First time I went here during the Lakbay Norte 2, we rode through here under heavy rain but it didn't dampen the magnificent rock formations the place holds. So I went back with a few friends and discovered a lot more.

The challenge was to reach Vigan in the quickest way possible coming from Sagada. The original plan was to go directly westward plying the Sabangan-Cervantes-Tagudin road from Halsema Highway, but as it turns out, even after a year, the bridge construction over the river cutting through Cervantes was not finished yet. The first alternative was to go back to Baguio then Vigan which would take a grueling 11-13 hours ride. Our driver and co-navigator did ask around while we made a stop at Abatan and found out we can avoid that bridge by going through the Mankayan-Cervantes-Tagudin route instead. We took this dare and preferred this unfamiliar route. Everyone seemed excited with this adventure detour, even I, when I realized we're passing through the historic Bessang Pass National Park where probably the most difficult battle in the Philippines World War II history was fought against Tumoyuki Yamashita.

The Halsema Highway is one of the Philippine's engineering feats. Its 130kms road stretching from La Trinidad Benguet to the Bontoc Mountain Province has an elevation of up to 7400 feet. It is the highest highway in the Philippines and is one of the most scenic drives you can experience in the country. Whenever I embark on a 6 hour journey from Baguio to Sagada via public transportation, I've always wished I could somehow stop for a while on some points of the road. That came into a realization when I became the local guide and assistant photography mentor for Jim Cline's first Philippine's Photo Tour led by Humanitarian Photojournalist Karl Grobl. With our own mini-bus at our disposal, the group made a few interesting stops along the Halsema Highway.

Sometimes I just want to be selfish and keep a place to myself, I thought while I was gently swaying on a hammock, under the trees, with refreshing breeze blowing, view of blinding white sands, deep blue horizon and birds enthusiastically in concert above me. But then again, people will always find a way to discover a place like this Nagsasa Cove in San Antonio Zambales. And once word gets out, people would flock here. Just the thought of this quiet cove turning into another crowded tent city beach makes me cringe. I know it'll be inevitable but for now I'll make sure I enjoy and every minute I'm here.

It's really a challenge to go to places not really on everyone's radar. Atimonan isn't really a tourist hot spot. It has a few known sights like the Pinagbanderahan, Quezon Memorial Park and its Zigzag road known as Bitukang Manok. Aside from that, it is mainly a transit town often passed by. I did some further research and found some sites of interest like the Bantakay Falls, since I always like to incorporate nature elements in my trips. Good thing I got a hold the number of Atimonan's tourism officer, Cecile and were able to ask directions on the phone.
Posted on February 21, 2011 at 10:10 am.
I have vague memory of the last time I stayed in this seaside town of Atimonan, Quezon province. There was a time from my grade school to high school days where the family would have an annual holy week vacation in Atimonan then in Bicol since both are my dad and mom's province respectively. We were always looking forward to this each year since it was a really fun place to be. Our cousin's simple house of four concrete walls and iron sheet roofs at Baranggay Buhangin was close to the sea. It was an enjoyable simple life just being there as a kid.

Monitoring alcohol use may be enough for some.
Project Match was a large, government- funded research project conducted in the 1990s that showed equivalent benefit of AA, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy in alcoholism. Researchers recently reported on an effort to test brief versions of the Project Match therapies for alcohol abusing patients. Ninety eight non-dependent but heavy drinkers were randomly assigned to brief coping skills, brief motivational enhancement, or waiting list conditions. All groups were given handheld computers to monitor their daily drinking before, during, and after the interventions. At followup, there were no differences between the two intervention groups, and while the waiting list group drank more throughout, they did decrease their drinking significantly (Ball SA, et al., Addict Behav 2007;32:1105-1118).
Simply asking alcohol abusing patients to keep a daily log of how often and how much they drink is likely to help them moderate their drinking, even in the absence of specific treatment.

Dates for stage two and three easing of coronavirus restrictions in Canberra announced
By Jake Evans and Tom Lowrey
Posted Mon 18 May 2020 at 11:04pm Monday 18 May 2020 at 11:04pm Mon 18 May 2020 at 11:04pm , updated Tue 19 May 2020 at 4:15am Tuesday 19 May 2020 at 4:15am Tue 19 May 2020 at 4:15am
It will be some time before bars are allowed to be this packed again, but they may be able to reopen as early as late June. (Supplied: www.hopscotchbar.com.au)
abc.net.au/news/coronavirus-covid19-restrictions-easing-dates-in-act/12260686
Physical distancing restrictions will be eased further in Canberra from Saturday May 30, clearing the way for gatherings of up to 20 people and allowing gyms to reopen, assuming the current efforts to supress coronavirus continue to work.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr has announced a roadmap towards a "COVID-safe" Canberra
Stage two easing would allow up to 20 people to gather and the reopening of higher-risk businesses
Stage three would allow gatherings of up to 100 people, reopening of accommodation areas, and possibly pubs and clubs
Chief Minister Andrew Barr has laid out the timeline for the ACT to ease COVID-19 restrictions over the next four weeks.
The plan is to move to stage two restrictions on May 30, then make a decision on stage-three "COVID-safe" restrictions by June 19, as long as infections stay under control.
"If we continue on our current path of suppressing new COVID-19 infections over the next 10 days, then we will move to stage two on Saturday, May 30," Mr Barr said.
Agreed under the National Cabinet, the second stage of restrictions would allow up to 20 people to gather and the reopening of higher-risk businesses, such as gyms, cinemas, beauticians and tattoo studios.
If the ACT decided to ease restrictions again on June 19, gatherings of up to 100 people would be allowed, all accommodation areas would be reopened and consideration would be given for pubs and clubs to resume business.
Strip clubs and brothels would remain closed.
It is expected businesses and the broader community would be given significant notice, of at least a week, before a move to stage three restrictions.

Mr Barr said the ACT Government would be assessing all available evidence and data every three weeks to determine whether those dates need to change.
"The ACT will continue to base our public health decisions on public health advice," Mr Barr said.
"We will also engage with industry stakeholders on practical implementation measures as we step through each stage of easing restrictions."
Coronavirus committee calls for release of plan

The dates announced by Mr Barr came after the COVID-19 pandemic response committee yesterday recommended a step-by-step process for reopening be published by the Government.
The tri-partisan committee was established to provide advice to the Government as it responded to the pandemic.

It said the ACT Government should release a model to the public similar to that prepared by the Northern Territory Government.
Committee chair Alistair Coe said the community had expressed there was a lack of clarity on a roadmap out.
"Some jurisdictions have been very explicit about what their roadmap looks like, including certain steps and what is permissible at each of those junctures," Mr Coe said.
"What would be good, according to the committee, would be a very good roadmap that gives everybody in the community some confidence."
Mr Coe said the three-step Commonwealth guide was useful, but the ACT needed to spell out its own targeted response that suited the local economy.
The committee also made recommendations for the Government to: ensure care providers had access to personal protective equipment; release additional funding to help service providers shift online; and establish clear rules for the safe reopening of cafes, restaurants and other venues.

Here is my final sermon to the beloved St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Lake Mary, FL where I have served for the last 16 years.
The scriptures here are offered by the Lord as encouragement to stay strong and brave even in the face of the new realities and thresholds that the Lord challenges us to cross.
God's promises transfer across the thresholds of life and leadership. He challenges us to stay true to His Word. We have nothing to fear, because the Lord is with us always. Be Strong and Courageous!
At the conclusion of the sermon you will hear the remarks and congregational prayers, by Brooke Holt (my wife), John Ricci, (Senior Warden) and The Rev. Canon Justin Holcomb (representing Bishop Gregory O. Brewer).
"Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you.
