Sometimes, getting to the gym is the hardest part of exercising. Whether it is a summer thunderstorm or a napping baby, getting motivation to leave your house and get in a good sweat can be difficult.
Luckily, this workout can be done anywhere, even at home. It doesn't require weights or large amounts of space. The best part? The workout is only 20 minutes long and will actually get your heart rate up due to its mix of cardio centered moves and body weight training positions.
If you have trouble pushing through a workout on your own, grab a friend or family member and sweat it out together. The goal is to be able to do the entire workout twice, with no breaks in-between. If you're not quite ready for that yet, try your best with breaks as needed and work your way into doing the entire thing.
Once through = one set (10 minutes). Repeat all the way through for a total of two sets lasting 20 minutes.
Download the free app called "Seconds" (by Runloop) to keep track of your interval times. The app will allow you to set sound alerts to notify when to switch to the next move. Bonus, the app even has calming sounds if you want to use it to time your yoga or meditation sessions.
How will you incorporate this mix into your exercise schedule?
Yes, this what I need! I'm to lazy to even go to gym, this anywhere workout is perfect for me, thanks Emily!
You're welcome Donald, I have done this workout before – just because there isn't a gym or weights it is still challenging and fun! Thank you for reading!
Emily is a rising senior at Michigan State University earning a degree in Advertising Management with a specialization in Public Relations. She has a passion for being active and enjoys dancing, running and yoga. Emily also loves to travel, but says Michigan is her favorite place to come home to.

Q: Conditions on coefficients of a homogeneous polynomial of the third degree in three variables over R which allow it to be positive on a positive octant I am a student of Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University, chair of Theoretical Mechanics.
While looking into stability of ideal crystal lattices (2D and 3D) by means of molecular dynamics I have encountered a challenging analytical problem. To draw the stability regions I need to find the conditions on coefficients of certain homogeneous polynomials. Thus, three questions have occurred:
1) When is a homogeneous polynomial of the third degree in three variables over R positive on the positive octant?
2) When is a quadratic form in three variables over R positive on the positive octant?
3) When is a homogeneous polynomial of fourth degree in two variables over R positive?
Currently, I managed to write down only sufficient conditions which all actually base on what can be said about a quadratic form on the positive quadrant.
I would be grateful for any ideas on how to solve such problems. I apologize for any mistakes I might have made as far as terms are concerned.

A: There is an old theorem by George Pólya which says the following:

Theorem: If $p \in \mathbb R[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ is a homogenous polynomial which is positive on the positive "octant", then for large $k$, the coefficients of the polynomial $(x_1 + \cdots +x_n)^k \cdot p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ are positive.

Note that the condition in the theorem is necessary and sufficient since positivity of the coefficients of $(x_1 + \cdots +x_n)^k \cdot p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ also implies that $p$ was positive on the positive "octant".
For a reference or even a proof of this theorem you can look here. These are slides for a talk by Mari Castle called "Everything you've ever wanted to know about Pólya's Theorem (but were afraid to ask)."

A: Ms. Podolskaya,
Your 2nd question is related to matrix copositivity, I believe. Take a look at the 5th chapter of Parrilo's doctoral dissertation.
A quadratic form in $\mathbb{R}[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ is of the form
$$P (x_1,x_2,x_3) = \left[\begin{array}{c} x_1\\\ x_2\\\ x_3\end{array}\right]^T \left[\begin{array}{ccc} q_{11} & q_{12} & q_{13}\\\ q_{12} & q_{22} & q_{23}\\\ q_{13} & q_{23} & q_{33}\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c} x_1\\\ x_2\\\ x_3\end{array}\right]$$
or, more compactly, $P (x) = x^T Q x$. You ask: when is $P$ positive on the positive octant? If $P > 0$ when $x > 0$, then
$$(\forall x \in \mathbb{R^3}) (x > 0 \implies x^T Q x > 0)$$
and, in theory, one could use quantifier elimination to obtain conditions on the $q_{ij}$ coefficients so that $P > 0$ on the positive octant. The following REDLOG script
% positivity on the positive octant

load_package redlog;
rlset ofsf;

% define quadratic form
P := 1 * q11 * x1 * x1 +
   + 1 * q22 * x2 * x2 +
   + 1 * q33 * x3 * x3 +
   + 2 * q12 * x1 * x2 +
   + 2 * q13 * x1 * x3 +
   + 2 * q23 * x2 * x3;

% define universally quantified formula
phi := all({x1,x2,x3}, (x1 > 0 and x2 > 0 and x3 > 0) impl P>0);

% perform quantifier elimination
rlqe phi;

end;

produces results in a few seconds, but the conditions on the $q_{ij}$ coefficients are enormously long quantifier-free formulas. So enormous that REDUCE crashed!
If $P$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative octant, then
$$(\forall x \in \mathbb{R^3}) (x \geq 0 \implies x^T Q x \geq 0)$$
which is equivalent to saying that matrix $Q = Q^T$ is copositive.

Update from VLA's Legislative Committee regarding the Virginia General Assembly
Report to VLA from Phil Abraham of The Vectre Corporation, Richmond, VA, given April 2021 to the VLA Executive Committee and Council and updated July 26, 2021:
One of the unique aspects of the short session this year was that there was a tight limit on the number of bills that could be introduced. Senators could only introduce 12 bills and House members could only introduce 7 bills. This resulted in slightly less than 1,000 bills being introduced at the 2021 regular and special sessions (about half of what you would see in a normal session). The session was also totally virtual in regard to the public and lobbyists being able to monitor committee meetings. All lobbying activities had to be conducted via text, cellphone, or video conference. It was a lot more challenging as lobbyists couldn't catch legislators in person in the hallways or offices. The amount of time we had to testify on legislation ranged for a low of 30 seconds to a high of 2 minutes. The 2021 Session was unique in that it began with a 30-day Regular Session that was rolled-into a Special Session that last about 18 days.
The major issues legislators dealt with at the 2021 General Assembly were abolishing the death penalty, legalizing marijuana (simple possession as of July 1, 2021), passing the revised state budget, and legislation providing for the expungement of many criminal convictions.
For VLA, our primary issue, as in recent years, was to increase state aid. $1M increased funding is what we asked for in the second year of the current budget to restore the funds that were eliminated due to Covid-19 in 2020. We had two great new champions for our efforts including Delegate Betsy Carr, who chairs the Higher Education subcommittee of the House Appropriations that handles state aid to local libraries. She put in the amendment for us on the House side as she did at the 2020 Regular and Special Sessions. Senator Mamie Locke, who is from Hampton and is the Senate Democratic Caucus Chair as well as Chair of the Higher Education Subcommittee of Senate Finance and Appropriations, put in the amendment for VLA on the Senate side. This was the first year Senator Locke had been asked to introduce the state aid budget amendment. For the first time in many years, both the House and Senate agreed to fund the increase in state aid we requested and included the $1M restoration of funds in the budget conference report. We also had strong support from Delegate Mark Sickles, who is Vice-Chair of the House Appropriations Committee from Fairfax County, and from Senator Tommy Norment, the Senate Republican Leader, who use to chair the Higher Education Subcommittee of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee and is from James City County.. We also had new staff assigned to the state aid budget amendment because Sarah Herzog is now the budget director for Christopher Newport University. Tyler Williams is the new Senate staffer on all education matters, including state aid to local public libraries, and Tony Maggio remains the House Appropriations Committee staff member assigned responsibility for state aid matters and all Higher Education funding.. Both House and Senate staff members were supportive of the VLA budget amendment request in 2021.
The only other bill that concerned libraries in particular was legislation that allowed Fairfax South Boston regional system to get their full amount of state aid in the wake of their reversion to town status that occurred a number of years ago. They were the only city that had previously reverted to town status that has not been held harmless regarding state aid to public library funding levels following their reversion. When this bill was heard in the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee, the Chair of that Committee, Senator Janet Howell from Fairfax County, said, "Aren't you aware, Delegate Edmunds, that we already put $1M in the state budget for increased local aid to public libraries?" I thought that comment was positive and demonstrated the interest of Senator Howell in funding for local public libraries.
At the upcoming 2022 session our focus will be continued progress on fully funding the state aid to local public libraries program . We hope to get there in four years by dividing the shortfall up into four segments and phasing them in as annual increases of a little over $2.5M each year. With support from Delegate Carr and Senator Locke, we can hopefully make real progress towards our full-funding goal.
Members of the House currently are focused on elections because all 100 of them are up for reelection in November. Statewide elections for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General will be held the same day. The Democrats held a statewide primary on June 8th of 2021, and the Republicans held a virtual convention at roughly 35 sites around the state in May 2021. We'll do our best to educate the candidates for Governor on the importance of fully funding state aid and try to get some commitments during the campaign to move towards full funding.

I don't know about you, but after a snowy and seemingly longer than usual winter, I'm welcoming Spring with open arms!
The extended hours of sunshine, warmer temperatures, and blooming flowers are just a few things I've been looking forward to for months!
Spring doesn't come without a list of things to do, however, so I thought I'd share some of the things I take care of once we change seasons.
1. Change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
2. Change the air filters in your heating/cooling units.
3. Make sure suntan lotion from last year hasn't expired, if it has, buy new sunscreen.
4. For allergy sufferers, make sure you have prescription or over the counter medicines ready for the pollen-filled days just ahead.
5. Start vegetable seedlings indoors.
6. Go through kid's clothing to make sure they have warmer weather apparel that still fits from last season. Almost always they don't, so go buy new Spring/Summer clothes for kids.
7. Spring Cleaning! Start off by intending to have a yard sale, move old clothing, toys and household items to the garage. Let items sit there for 3-8 weeks before doing a large Goodwill donation.
8. PREPARE SPRING BREAK ESSENTIALS (for Mom).
9. Don't even think of wearing sandals before getting a professional grade pedicure.
10. Purchase new razors or necessary tool(s) for the first Spring Shave. If shaving indoors, purchase Drano or other product to unclog winter's growth from drains, or consider the first shave outdoors with a garden hose (as suggested by my husband a couple years ago. He was also kind enough to buy me the "new razors" I had on the shopping list).
What am I missing? Leave me a comment and let me know if you have a Spring checklist too!
11. Buy your toddler a gift.
12. No toddler? Find one.
13. Un-donate all of my clothes right now. Mine. Mine. Mine.

Whether with words, pictures or through digital, I capture your important moments, bringing them together so you stand out.
I've been crafting and telling great stories for as long as I can remember. My natural ability with the written word led me into becoming an NCTJ-qualified journalist with an MA in Creative Writing from a Russell Group university, but over the past 13 years working in PR and marketing for brands of all shapes and sizes, I've added a few strings to my bow and am now a results-driven communications consultant and photographer, named Independent PR Practitioner of the year in the CIPR North East PRide Awards 2021. In addition, I won a gold award in the arts, culture, sports or entertainment campaign category, and silver in the low budget category for my work on National Poetry Day 2020, and was a finalist in two other campaign categories
A big picture thinker and instinctive reader of people, my curiosity, coupled with strong interviewing skills, allows me to quickly get to the heart of what it is you're trying to achieve, and identify anything standing in the way. It lets me pin-point the dramatic and decisive elements of your story, capturing moments that convey your purpose, and ultimately inspire your audience to choose you.
One of only a handful of people to be individually Chartered by the CIPR with a CIPR Diploma in Public Relations, I'm a team player that never loses sight of the crucial details and complexities affecting your business. Also an individual member of the PRCA, and a digital marketing professional certified by the Digital Marketing Institute, I deliver under pressure. Creative, eloquent and open to collaboration, I take a resourceful, iterative, insight-led approach and apply a constant drive for improvement to all I do.
My Values
The first and most important question I ask all my clients is why. Whether your end game is cherished memories or increased sales, that's my focus, and I'm driven to achieve these objectives. The response to this key question provides the clarity I need to create purpose-driven strategies, campaigns, content and collateral, or evocative images that really wow.
I'm highly inquisitive and love to learn. I like to get under the skin of things, and of people. Asking the right questions and looking in the right places from the outset is what makes me good at my job. I need to know what makes you tick, how you got to where you are now, and where you want to be. To help you tell your story right, whether through words or pictures, it pays to be inquisitive.
My natural ability to put myself in the place of others means I objectively understand the barriers you and your customers are facing, to get past them. A shared sense of purpose will net real results. And good communication, whether through words or through pictures, comes first from understanding.
No day in my working life is the same. I work in fast-paced environments, relish variety, and where others may see setbacks, I see opportunity. That said, achieving real results depends on spending time laying solid foundations, and as a chartered practitioner, it's imperative that I work to keep my skills up to date. This is an investment in which you reap the benefits, allowing me to anticipate trends and issues.
"To adapt you must be open to change, which means you must have the will — emotional tolerance, mental fortitude, spiritual guidance — to not only face uncertainty but smack it in the face and press on." Jeff Boss, Forbes
A big moment in business
Last week saw an exciting announcement on Twitter as the shortlist was gradually revealed for the CIPR's PRide Awards in the North East – with my name on it. As the only independent practitioner to feature in this year's shortlist, I'm incredibly proud to fly the flag on behalf of a vibrant and supportive community across the region. A huge thank you to everyone I've worked and collaborated with over the past four years, and to my friends, partner and family for their unwavering support. Outstanding Independent Practitioner may be an individual award, but it's been a real team effort!
Why caring is complex in communications
Lockdown has given many of us both pause and cause to reflect, and in my lower moments, I've been berating myself, most commonly for caring too much what other people think. This has often been prompted by unflattering views on the many video calls I'm having at the...
Many people don't understand what it is I actually do. It's so varied, and there's no agreed definition, even within the communications industry, about what we call ourselves. There's a lot of personal interpretation involved in the terms PR, marketing and communications, and I find some potential clients and colleagues assume I don't have certain skills I do have, and vice versa. So here's an insight into a typical day in my working life to help shed some light.
"Forward Arts Foundation delivers National Poetry Day with a tiny staff team, comprising about 1.3 FTE members of staff, and our entire operating model is built around partnerships with schools, libraries, publishers and charity partners. During the Covid pandemic, many partners furloughed key staff, and the drive to upskill and deliver our work entirely online introduced huge pressure. We simply didn't have the skills or time capacity to make the transition.
Jule arrived at a critical time, got up to speed at record pace, and helped roll out a series of initiatives that enabled us to reach our largest audience ever: 131 million people. Her work was indispensable, and best of all, she left us with an evaluation that not only assessed what was delivered but helped us position ourselves more strongly for future years."
Mónica Parle
Executive Director, Forward Arts Foundation
"Jule has really helped Kids Kabin develop its understanding of PR and marketing – bringing us along from occasional and sporadic social media and website updates to a coordinated approach to sharing our Kids Kabin story."
Will Benson
Chief Executive, Kids Kabin
"Jule is a great communications manager with a flair for copywriting who can create a strategy and pull those around her together to deliver it. Jule is highly customer focused and has a friendly, open approach which enables her to gather information from subject matter experts and translate it into excellent content. She is a conscientious professional and is able to generate solutions that work for the business."
Michelle Minnikin
Chartered Business Psychologist
"Jule is the queen of content marketing…What immediately stood out about Jule is that she is ridiculously good at joining all the dots together. She can see the big picture and knows exactly how to optimise existing market channels and build strong relationships with all kinds of professionals and organisations."
Rosie Hamilton,
"As a writer Jule is expressive, accurate and efficient. Her editing skills were crucial in turning dense technical documents into readable printed or online content that reached thousands of potential customers or employees."
Michael Wass
"Jule is a worthy winner as Independent PR Practitioner 2021. As one of the first five practitioners in the region to become chartered in 2016 she became an independent practitioner as part of a portfolio career. Her volunteering role at the CIPR has seen her as Communications Editor and Acting Group Secretary, then on the national Diversity and Inclusion Group committee. A fantastic advocate for PR, she has represented the profession at career fairs and through voluntary positions as a school and university mentor, a STEM Learning Ambassador, and a guest lecturer at Sunderland and Northumbria Universities. Jule's passion for PR is clear to see in her many roles."

Is Depression Hurting The Ones You Love? Help Is Here!
TIP! A long bath can be helpful if you start to feel depression symptoms coming on. Take a good book with you or listen to your favorite music while taking a bath for a completely relaxing experience.
Depression is hard to get rid of, regardless of what caused it. But getting the proper information and the proper therapy can put you on the path to good health and new found happiness. The following article will provide you with information to help rid depression from your life.
TIP! Depression can be affected by your diet. If you eat unhealthy, it can affect your thinking and lead you into a depression cycle that is hard to escape.
A good tip to help deal with depression is to develop some outside interests or hobbies. Not having enough activities to do or interests to get excited about is a very common reason and factor that will lead to depression. Find a new passion to fill your time, such as painting, pottery or maybe even attending dance classes. If you try an activity and you don't like it, try another one. You don't have to stick with an activity that you don't enjoy, your goal is to try to incorporate something new to do into your life.
TIP! Eliminate the words "depression" and "depressive" from your vocabulary. While very real, the words "depression" and "depressed" have a lot of extra baggage attached to them and can actually worsen the feelings of hopelessness.
Because of the possibility that your depression is caused by a chemical imbalance, some antidepressant drugs can work wonders. However, keep in mind they only work best when combined with regular therapy, exercise and a determination on your part to get your life back to normal.
TIP! When you suffer from depression, try not to live in the past. The best thing you can do for yourself is to look to the future.
Look for a support network wherever you are able. If you can locate others who are successfully keeping depression at bay, they may be able to help you. Always be willing to listen to them as they offer advice and insight about the condition.
TIP! There are many causes of depression. The key is in determining what is happening in your life that is causing it.
Quit using the words "depression" and "depressed". Though they may be accurate descriptions of your mental state, they carry with them the power of suggestion, and may cause your feelings to sink even lower. Instead, when you are feeling down, think of it as a low mood. "Battling depression" can cause you to think negative thoughts. Concentrate on "elevating your spirits" instead, even if the steps you take to do so are exactly the same.
Surround yourself with the people you love, which will help your mood and reduce your stress level. Socialization can often lessen the feelings of depression.
TIP! If you have depression, writing in a journal can be beneficial. You may feel better when you express how you feel in a journal.
It is important to focus on the future instead of the past; the past may only make you feel worse. Looking to the future brings hope, which can help ease they symptoms of depression, by helping you to look forward to something.
TIP! This may seem cliche, but having some fresh cut flowers around will help you with your sadness. You will find the smell and color extremely pleasant.
Depression can have many root causes, and you should do your best to try and figure out what is the root of your personal depression. With the help of a doctor or therapist, you can begin to understand these feelings, and find treatment to help you cope with them.
TIP! Those who are depressed should always remember that they're not alone in what they're going through. Feelings of loneliness and isolation will only increase your depression and anxiety.
Taking care of yourself, putting on makeup or nice clothes can help to boost your mood. Go out with some nice clothes on. It doesn't have to be attached to having to go to a wedding or attending church, it's really just about feeling good and being among others. Making the effort to look better and more attractive will boost your confidence, ease your mind, and help fight depression.
TIP! It is important to comprehend what depression is. Depression doesn't just affect the mind, it affects the body as well.
Consider starting a depression diary. Writing down all your feelings, thoughts and frustrations will often help to improve your mood. Additionally, elaborating on what on how you feel when your symptoms flare up is a good way to get a bead on what in particular is nagging you.
TIP! When dealing with depression, you should try have a more practical approach to life. Take a look at your goals in life, and if they're unrealistic, see what you can do to adjust them.
Aim to take any antidepressant medication you have at a designated moment that is the same daily; early morning makes a good habit. If you maintain a routine, you will remember to take your pills. Also, by taking the medication in the morning, this allows you to function normally through work, and also through your other daily responsibilities.
TIP! Lift out of depression with self-acceptance and acceptance of your situation. Many people who suffer from depression think they need something specific to cure the condition, like a specific amount of money or a specific lover.
If you are depressed, you should remember that you are not the only one suffering from depression. Knowing you are not suffering alone during these times is important, because that feeling can make things worse. Find someone with similar issues or simply talk to a friend you can rely on.

Now, after reading the great tips from this article, you have more knowledge on how to deal with depression and that will lead to a happier you!


Nâzım Hikmet Ran (15 January 1902 – 3 June 1963), commonly known as Nâzım Hikmet (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈnaːzɯm ˈhikmet] (listen)) was a Turkish poet, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, director and memoirist. He was acclaimed for the "lyrical flow of his statements". Described as a "romantic communist" and "romantic revolutionary", he was repeatedly arrested for his political beliefs and spent much of his adult life in prison or in exile. His poetry has been translated into more than fifty languages.
According to Nâzım Hikmet, he was of paternal Turkish and maternal German, Polish, Georgian descent. Nâzım Hikmet's mother came from a distinguished, cosmopolitan family with predominantly Circassian (Adyghe) roots, along with high social position and relations to Polish nobility. From his father's side he had Turkish heritage. His father, Hikmet Bey, was the son of Çerkes Nâzım Pasha, after whom Nâzım Hikmet was named.
Nazım's maternal grandfather, Hasan Enver Pasha, was the son of Polish-born Mustafa Celalettin Pasha and Saffet Hanım, daughter of Serbian Omar Pasha and Circassian Adviye Hanım the daughter of Çerkes Hafız Pasha. Mustafa Celalettin Pasha (born Konstanty Borzęcki herbu Półkozic) authored "Les Turcs anciens et modernes" ("The Ancient and Modern Turks") in Istanbul, in 1869. This is considered one of the first works of national Turkist political thought.
Nâzım Hikmet's maternal grandmother, Leyla Hanım, was the daughter of Mehmet Ali Pasha, of French (Huguenot) and German origin, and Ayşe Sıdıka Hanım who was a daughter of Çerkes Hafız Paşa. His uncle, Enver Celalettin Pasha, was a member of the Ottoman Army General Staff. Nâzım Hikmet and Celile Hanım's cousins included Oktay Rifat Horozcu, a leading Turkish poet, and the statesman Ali Fuat Cebesoy, among others.
Ran was born on 15 January 1902, in Selânik (Salonica), where his father was serving as an Ottoman government official. He attended the Taşmektep Primary School in the Göztepe district of Istanbul and later enrolled in the junior high school section of the prestigious Galatasaray High School in the Beyoğlu district, where he began to learn French; however, in 1913, he was transferred to the Numune Mektebi in the Nişantaşı district. In 1918, he graduated from the Ottoman Naval School on Heybeliada, one of the Princes' Islands located in the Sea of Marmara. His school days coincided with a period of political upheaval, during which the Ottoman government entered the First World War, allying itself with Germany. For a brief period he was assigned as a naval officer to the Ottoman cruiser Hamidiye; however in 1919 he became seriously ill and, not being able to fully recover, was exempted from naval service in 1920.
In 1921, together with his friends Vâlâ Nûreddin (Vâ-Nû), Yusuf Ziya Ortaç and Faruk Nafiz Çamlıbel, he went to İnebolu in Anatolia in order to join the Turkish War of Independence; from there he (together with Vâlâ Nûreddin) walked to Ankara, where the Turkish liberation movement was headquartered. In Ankara they were introduced to Mustafa Kemal Pasha (Atatürk) who wanted the two friends to write a poem that would invite and inspire Turkish volunteers in Istanbul and elsewhere to join their struggle. This poem was much appreciated, and Muhittin Bey (Birgen) decided to appoint them as teachers to the Sultani (high-college) in Bolu, rather than sending them to the front as soldiers. However, their communist views were not appreciated by the conservative officials in Bolu, and so the two decided to go to Batumi in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic to witness the results of the Russian Revolution of 1917, arriving there on 30 September 1921. In July 1922, the two friends went to Moscow, where Ran studied Economics and Sociology at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East in the early 1920s. There, he was influenced by the artistic experiments of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Vsevolod Meyerhold, as well as the ideological vision of Lenin.
Despite writing his first poems in syllabic meter, Nazım Hikmet distinguished himself from the "syllabic poets" in concept. With the development of his poetic conception, the narrow forms of syllabic verse became too limiting for his style and he set out to seek new forms for his poems.
He was influenced by the young Soviet poets who advocated Futurism. On his return to Turkey, he became the charismatic leader of the Turkish avant-garde, producing streams of innovative poems, plays and film scripts. Breaking the boundaries of syllabic meter, he changed his form and began writing in free verse, which harmonised with the rich vocal properties of the Turkish language.
He has been compared by Turkish and non-Turkish men of letters to such figures as Federico García Lorca, Louis Aragon, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Pablo Neruda. Although Ran's work bears a resemblance to these poets and owes them occasional debts of form and stylistic device, his literary personality is unique in terms of the synthesis he made of iconoclasm and lyricism, of ideology and poetic diction.
Many of his poems have been set to music by the Turkish composer Zülfü Livaneli. A part of his work has been translated into Greek by Yiannis Ritsos, and some of these translations have been arranged by the Greek composers Manos Loizos and Thanos Mikroutsikos.
Because of his political views his works were banned in Turkey from 1938 to 1965.
Ran's imprisonment in the 1940s became a cause célèbre among intellectuals worldwide; a 1949 committee that included Pablo Picasso, Paul Robeson, and Jean-Paul Sartre campaigned for his release.
On 8 April 1950, Ran began a hunger strike in protest against the Turkish parliament's failure to include an amnesty law in its agenda before it closed for the upcoming general election. He was then transferred from the prison in Bursa, first to the infirmary of Sultanahmet Jail in Istanbul, and later to Paşakapısı Prison. Seriously ill, Ran suspended his strike on 23 April, the National Sovereignty and Children's Day. His doctor's request to treat him in hospital for three months was refused by officials. So, as his imprisonment status had not changed, he resumed his hunger strike on the morning of 2 May.
Ran's hunger strike caused a stir throughout the country. Petitions were signed and a magazine named after him was published. His mother, Celile, began a hunger strike on 9 May, followed by renowned Turkish poets Orhan Veli, Melih Cevdet and Oktay Rıfat the next day. In light of the new political situation after the 1950 Turkish general election, held on 14 May, the strike was ended five days later, on 19 May, Turkey's Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, he was finally released through a general amnesty law enacted by the new government.
On 22 November 1950, the World Council of Peace announced that Nazım Hikmet Ran was among the recipients of the International Peace Prize, along with Pablo Picasso, Paul Robeson, Wanda Jakubowska and Pablo Neruda.
Later on, Ran escaped from Turkey to Romania on a ship via the Black Sea, and from there moved to the USSR. Because in the Soviet bloc the only recognized Turkish minority existed in communist Bulgaria, the poet's books were immediately brought out in this country, both in Turkish originals and Bulgarian translations. The communist authorities in Bulgaria celebrated him in Turkish and Bulgarian publications as 'a poet of liberty and peace.' The goal was to discredit Turkey presented as a 'lackey of the imperialist' United States in the eyes of Bulgaria's Turkish minority, many of whom desired to leave for or were expelled to Turkey in 1950-1953.
When the EOKA struggle broke out in Cyprus, Ran believed that the population of Cyprus would be able to live together peacefully, and called on the Turkish minority to support the Greek Cypriots' demand for an end to British rule.
Persecuted for decades by the Republic of Turkey during the Cold War for his communist views, Ran died of a heart attack in Moscow on 3 June 1963 at 6.30 am while picking up a morning newspaper at the door of his summer house in Peredelkino, far away from his beloved homeland. He is buried in Moscow's famous Novodevichy Cemetery, where his imposing tombstone is still today a place of pilgrimage for Turks and many others from around the world. His final wish, never carried out, was to be buried under a plane-tree (platanus) in any village cemetery in Anatolia.
Despite his persecution by the Turkish state, Nâzım Hikmet has always been revered by the Turkish nation. His poems depicting the people of the countryside, villages, towns and cities of his homeland (Memleketimden İnsan Manzaraları, i.e. Human Landscapes from my Country), as well as the Turkish War of Independence (Kurtuluş Savaşı Destanı, i.e. The Epic of the War of Independence), and the Turkish revolutionaries (Kuvâyi Milliye, i.e. Force of the Nation) are considered among the greatest patriotic literary works of Turkey.
Following his death, the Kremlin ordered the publication of the poet's first-ever Turkish-language collected works in communist Bulgaria, where at that time a large and still recognized Turkish national minority existed. The eight volumes of these collected works, Bütün eserleri, appeared at Sofia between 1967 and 1972, that is, in the very last years of the existence of the Turkish minority educational and publishing system in Bulgaria.
Ran had Polish and Turkish citizenship. The latter was revoked in 1959, and restored in 2009. His family has been asked if they want his remains repatriated from Russia.
During the 1940s, as he was serving his sentence at Bursa Prison, he used to paint. There, he met a young inmate named İbrahim Balaban. Ran discovered Balaban's talent in drawing, gave all his paint and brushes to him, and encouraged him to continue with painting. Ran influenced the peasant, and educated him, who had finished only a three-grade village school, in forming his own ideas in the fields of philosophy, sociology, economics and politics. Ran admired Balaban much, and referred to him in a letter to the novelist Kemal Tahir as "his peasant painter" (Turkish: Köylü ressam). Their contact remained also after they were released from the prison.
Ran's poem Kız Çocuğu (The Girl Child) conveys a plea for peace from a seven-year-old girl, ten years after she has perished in the atomic bomb attack at Hiroshima. It has achieved popularity as an anti-war message and has been performed as a song by a number of singers and musicians both in Turkey and worldwide; it is also known in English by various other titles, including I come and Stand at Every Door, I Unseen and Hiroshima Girl.
Zülfü Livaneli has performed a version of the original Turkish poem on his album Nazım Türküsü, which was later sung in Turkish by Joan Baez.
Fazıl Say included the poem in his Nazım oratorio in Turkish.
Subhash Mukhopadhyay (poet) translated Hikmet's poems into Bengali.Those poems are collected in two anthologies, titled Nirbachita Nazim Hikmet (1952)(Selected Poems of Nazem Hikmet) ISBN 81-7079-501-X and Nazem Hikmet er Aro Kobita(1974) (More Poems of Nazem Himet).Some of these translation's are available in open sources.
Manos Loizos composed settings of some of Ran's poems, adapted in Greek by the poet Yiannis Ritsos. They are included in the 1983 disc Grammata stin agapimeni (Letters to the beloved one).
The usual tune is a non-traditional melody composed by Jim Waters in 1954 to fit the lyrics of Child 113 ballad The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry, which was recorded by American folksinger Joan Baez as Silkie on her second album Joan Baez, Vol. 2 in 1961.
According to American activist folk musician Pete Seeger, Jeanette Turner did a loose English "singable translation" of the poem under a different title, I Come And Stand At Every Door, and sent a note to Seeger asking "Do you think you could make a tune for it?" in the late 1950s. After a week of trial and failure, this English translation was used by Seeger in 1962 with an adaptation of "an extraordinary melody put together by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student James Waters, who had put a new tune to a mystical ballad The Great Silkie which he couldn't get out of his head, without permission." Seeger wrote in Where Have All the Flowers Gone: "It was wrong of me. I should have gotten his permission. But it worked. The Byrds made a good recording of it, electric guitars and all." Seeger also used the track in his 1999 compilation album Headlines & Footnotes: A Collection Of Topical Songs. Seeger sang the song on 9 August 2013, the 68th anniversary of the Nagasaki atomic bombing, on a Democracy Now! interview.
The Byrds; the American rock band used the translation on their third album Fifth Dimension in 1966.
Roger McGuinn of the Byrds later recorded the song with its original lyrics as part of his Folk Den project.
The Misunderstood used the translation, changing the title to 'I Unseen', on a 1969 UK Fontana single, later included in the 1997 anthology album Before The Dream Faded with their own tune.
Paul Robeson recorded the song as "The Little Dead Girl" with another translation.
The Fall on their 1997 album Levitate, albeit omitting the last verse and wrongly attributing writing credits to anon/J Nagle. I Come and Stand at Your Door listed as "Anon/Nagle", which is an interpretation of the song I Come and Stand at Every Door. "Jap Kid" is an instrumental version of this track.
Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy, a Moravian folk metal band, on their album Behind the Shadows in 1998.
Anne Hills on 1998 album Where Have All The Flowers Gone: The Songs of Peter Seeger.
Styrofoam aka Arne Van Petegem's EP and first US release, RR20, included an instrumental version of the traditional tune of Great Silkie with same title.
In 2005, famous Amami Ōshima singer Chitose Hajime collaborated with Ryuichi Sakamoto by translating Kız Çocuğu into Japanese, retitling it Shinda Onna no Ko [死んだ女の子] "A dead girl"). It was performed live at the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima on the eve of the 60th Anniversary (5 August 2005) of Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The song later appeared as a bonus track on Chitose's album Hanadairo in 2006.
Some of Ran's poems are translated into Nepali by Suman Pokhrel and are published in print and online literary journals.
How do you propose to get it? Do you want to get it through the cooperation of Turkey where the men in the ranks get 23 cents a month the first year and 32 cents the second year, or do you want to get an American division and equip it and send it over to Turkey which would cost you 10 times as much?
He also opposed the Korean War, in which Turkey participated. After the Senate address of John Foster Dulles, who served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, where he valued Turkish soldiers at 23 cents a month compared with the lowest echelon U.S. soldiers at $70, Nazım Hikmet Ran wrote a protest poem criticising the policies of the United States. This poem is titled "23 Sentlik Askere Dair" (On the soldier worth 23 cents).
Hikmet's poem We'll Give the Globe to the Children was set on music in 1979 by Russian composer David Tukhmanov.
Tale of Tales is a Russian animated film (1979) partially inspired by Hikmet's poem of the same name.
Finnish band Ultra Bra recorded a song "Lähettäkää minulle kirjoja" ("Send me books") based on a translated excerpt of Hikmet's poem "Rubai".

Every single time a new picture of Miranda Kerr drops onto our desks we find ourselves drooling and scowling at the same time. And following yesterday's rather risque Twitter picture, we didn't think she could look any better - how wrong we were. Miranda's Twitpic was merely a warm-up ahead of her Spring/Summer 2011 runway show for Australian department store, David Jones.

Dw. Dunphy On… What I Learnt From Thine Political Conventions
Written by Dw. Dunphy• September 7, 2012• Current Events, Dw. Dunphy On...
I learnt t'is better to watch football, I did.
So what did we learn from the conventions? A few things, actually – even though they are probably lessons we already knew, the salient points deserved repeating and reinforcing.
Point One – Republicans liked the Republican convention and believe that Democrats are at fault for everything.
Point Two – Democrats liked the Democratic convention and believe that Republicans are at fault for everything.
Point Three – Just like all the endless hours of campaign advertisements preceding them, most undecided voters will not be swayed either way, opting to "see what the debates bring," and even those will prove to be inconclusive and Election Day will all come down to how you are feeling at that time. If you feel like there was no accomplishment in the past four years, you'll probably vote Republican. If you feel there has been significant change in the past four years, and there would have been much more if the Republican goal, first and foremost wasn't "holding that man to a single term," you'll probably vote Democratic. But if you haven't made up your mind right now, your decision will be a last-minute choice.
Point Four – Ain't it great that football season is back? I didn't watch either convention, instead opting to delve into the pious pundit pontification the day after, and I am slightly happier than I had been during the two previous presidential election cycles. See, with football it really is up to the two teams on the field to make it happen. There will be a quantifiable winner and loser based directly on performance, which is something neither the president nor his rival can equal because…
Point Five – Like a car with brand new tires and a broke-down motor, logical, reasonable America has come to see what the real issue is. The president has no power. None. If Congress can't do their job, then everything withers and dies under the war whoops of the seething mobs. Big Tea wanted intransigence to grind the wheels of the "runaway liberal agenda" to a halt, and they got it. The problem is that they are an unwavering lot and presidents have to waver. Romney, seemingly having sold his soul and every good idea he ever had as bad, cannot hope to please the mob all the time, and when that dissonance happens, he'll be just as henpecked as Obama.
During the debt ceiling standoff of 2011 it is said that John Boehner was ready to go on Obama's Grand Bargain, an act that would have given the Republicans so much more than they ever could have gotten at the bargaining table, and at the same time would have slain many Democratic sacred cows and would have doomed Obama's reelection choices right then and there. Yet it was deemed it would be viewed as a "win" for Obama in the short term, so the word was set forth that there would be no deals. Period. John Boehner looked like a wimp in the process, but the shadow of Eric Cantor at his back like a stalking lion to a confused gazelle receded and the Caligula-like form of Grover Norquist in the stands approved in this twisted passion play. If Mitt Romney thinks he's getting any Etch-a-Sketch margins to work with, he's a fool.
Point Six – Because of Big Tea's influence – and let's not forget that at the beginning of 2012 the media was reporting the movement virtually as dead – it has a heavy lock on our governmental process right now, and the only way to shake that loose is to see it through. They have to take the country to the brink, and possibly over it, to wake up the glassy-eyed rage-o-holics across the nation. They need to be ankle deep in it before they recognize what has been done, but that's just human nature writ large.
I've seen family members die terrible deaths of cancer and their kids continuing in the same habits that brought the worst of the cancer on. They are now experiencing some of the first symptoms of the addictions that killed their parents, yet they charge forward. It will likely not be until the doctor says things like, "biopsy," "chemotherapy," "radiation," "dialysis," "transfusion," or "pray" that they will finally alter their individual courses, but by then the damage will have been done and though they will blame themselves to a certain level, they will mostly aim their fury at the liquor, the cigarettes, the illicit drug. Human nature tends not to see the problem until they're drowning in it.
So anyone who thought they were going to get roadmaps to redemption from the political conventions fell victim once more to drastically heightened expectations. Those who feel the president, whoever he may be in 2013, will guide us like Moses through the Red Sea waters will be deluged by their delusions. Congress will blame each other and remain as do-nothing as ever, and it will only be in the depths of catastrophe that someone, anyone, recognizes that of all the people they could have handed the keys of power to, they chose Otis the Town Drunk.
But at least we have football…sweet, sweet football.

A career in racing was inevitable for Mickey Walls, born in Vancouver, BC to horse racing parents, trainer Joe Walls (recently deceased) and mother Carol who is still actively involved the industry. Walls began riding professionally at Vancouver's Exhibition Park In 1990 at age 16, before concluding his year at Toronto's Greenwood and being awarded his first Sovereign Award as Canada's outstanding Apprentice Jockey. In 1991 Walls won 231 races surpassing a record previously set by Sandy Hawley, making him both the winningest jockey and garnering more purse money at Woodbine Racetrack than any jockey to that point in time. His efforts that year resulted in Walls receiving Sovereign Awards for both Outstanding Apprentice Jockey and Outstanding Jockey Award, and the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice in the U.S. Following time off to recuperate from injuries in 1992 he returned in 1993 to once again be Woodbine's leading rider. After competing in the U.S. at various tracks, he returned to his homeland in 1996, capturing the Prince of Wales Stakes aboard Stephanotis and the Breeders' Stakes on Canada's top turf runner and future CHRHF inductee, Chief Bearhart. In 1999 he won the Queen's Plate aboard Woodcarver. In 2008, Walls was inducted into the B.C. Thoroughbred Hall of Fame and in June, 2013 he was recipient of the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award for significant contributions to the sport. Walls accumulated 1,453 wins in 8,868 races and earnings of $37.3 million over a 12-year career that concluded in 2013.

2018 « FREE LOVING HUMAN »
Shout it loud, Sofaï has a new album. Shout it very loud, as one of the leading lights of the independent European blues scene has produced some of her finest work. Free Loving Human is an eclectic mix of influences and styles that should elevate Sofai to the top table of Euro blues, feasting on a variety of soul, pop and rock and roll dishes along the way.
She may not yet be a household name, but Sofaï has certainly paid her dues. Growing up with the sounds of the sixties and seventies, one of her earliest influences was Elvis Presley. Her soleful rendition and clever choreography of In The Ghetto is a fitting tribute to The King.
However, her musical tastes were many and varied, ranging from folk rock and blues in the shape of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joni Mitchell and Traffic, through the harder rock of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen, and onwards to the black grooves of Eddie Floyd and Etta James. Other influences are also clear with this latest release, as she describes her music as "A kinda melting pot of what I've listened to – it's rough, but it has to be groovy!"
She was never a fan of school, and grew up with the idea of becoming a singer / songwriter, and strapping on a stylish guitar along the way.
Her persona is also a heady mixture; hardworking blueswoman with a voodoo style! Her bio describes her musical universe as "Delightful Wildness", an epithet so perfect it had to be made for her.
For Sofaï, the writing craft is part of her essence. "I cannot sit and try to work, getting depressed because nothing's coming. I just have to be aware of my feelings. I have always got a guitar close to me, or my little recorder in my pocket when I am away from home."
It comes as no surprise that her desire to write and perform sees her drawn towards musical greats that she would have loved to share a stage with. Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, all sadly passed on. Steven Tyler, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, maybe one day Sofai!
She loves biker and blues festivals, particularly in her native France, and she has opened for Beverley Jo Scott, Elliott Murphy, Debbie Coleman, Carmel and Sharrie Williams in Belgium and Switzerland. The stage is hers, with England and the US on the agenda.
Her band are a family, with relationships across the musical landscape, and the strength of their familial bonds is clearly etched into the new album.
Californian bass player Marten Ingle has written songs with Sofai for more than a decade, and his musical pedigree takes in Percy Sledge Billy Paul, Tony Allen and Ray Lema.
Guitarist Mar Todani has been with her for three years. Born in Japan, Mar moved to England in 1994 and settled in Paris in 1998. He has played with American blues shouter Big Joe Turner, and he adds something special to the music. Sofai has a special place for him. "He's really precious. He is that kind of guitar player that I'm in love with, because I want something "catchy" on Guitar riffs and need something very melodic on every solo part."
Drummer Danny Montgomery also hails from California, and as well as playing with Percy Sledge and Billy Paul he has hit the skins for American jazz duo Tuck & Patti and singer songwriter Willy Nile.
French keyboard player Slim Batteux completes the set, another who has shared a stage with Percy Sledge and Billy Paul, as well as Ray Charles and Brazilian singer and percussionist Carlinhos Brown.
Their time in the studio was well spent, with Free Loving Human the result of their musical and emotional creativity. Each song is defined by the opening guitar, and each has its own raison d'être.
Never Give Up takes blues to the edge of pop, as Sofaï fights the music business with the belief and desire to get her through. Bonoboland is a fanciful tune with a mambo beat and a brass section that comes straight of the big band sound. The Bonobo of the title is the sex loving chimp from the Congo basin, and the message dates back to the hippie mantra of "make love, not war!"
After the light introduction of the first two tracks the album leans towards a heavier rock sound with Rising Up From The Ashes, a poignant reminder of the frailties of life, dedicated to a friend who survived the Bataclan Theatre terrorist attacks in Paris. It could be mischievous to suggest that Everything, dedicated to all businessmen and in particular President Donald Trump, should deliberately follow a track that gains its message from terrorism, I guess only Sofaï will know the answer to that. The song itself is upbeat, almost frivolous, taking the listener towards the American pop sounds of the B52s.
The Sam & Dave classic I Take What I Want is driven by electric blues. Yes, this is blues, and don't you forget it! All blues albums must have a love song, or many love songs. Lost or found, new or old, its all about love. Sofai makes no apology for including Deep In My Soul as her only tribute to that deepest of emotions, exploring her inner self in a true blues statement. Next its off to the world of soul with Don't Let My Chance Go By, suggesting that life has everything out there, you just have to open the box to see what is inside. The title track of the album is a truly outstanding piece that could yet become a blues anthem, with an unmistakeable Aretha Franklin vibe sitting atop the melody that pounds at the doors of gospel.
Sofaï returns to her earliest roots of progressive or even glam rock with Don't Bring Me Down, with a guitar riff that would not be out of place on a Marc Bolan track. The song pays tribute to Myriam, the teenager from Kurdistan who fled to escape the Turkish army, was bombed on more than one occasion, but who still managed to write a book and keep a bright outlook on life; a lesson from the blues!
Al Green's Take Me To The River is the second cover on the album, but Sofaï leaves Mr Green's version in a different world, adding echoes of Henry Mancini's Peter Gunn. The bonus track, Life Goes On, is a haunting tune emanating from a personal tragedy at the Bataclan Theatre, an event that became a tragedy for the world.
Sofaï does not shy away from anything, this is her world, this is her way. She is influenced but does not imitate, she pays tribute but does not bow down. Free Loving Human is another mile along her personal blues highway, but this particular milestone will be her most significant yet.
Catch Sofaï on tour. Free Loving Human will be released in September 2018.

Cape Cod Trout Unlimited
Our mission is coldwater conservation.
Meet the CCTU Board
Chapter Activities
Childs River Restoration
Fly Fishing School
Kayak Cleanup
Quashnet Restoration
Spring Fundraising Banquet
The project involves the rehabilitation of the Upper Childs River to create a "cold water fishery" to re-establish brook trout in the river. We also intend to restore the abandoned Farley Cranberry Bog to wetlands habitat for waterfowl and wildlife.
Significant milestones during 4th quarter of 2018 include:
1. The approval of the Conservation Restriction on the Farley Bog parcel by the Falmouth Conservation Commission, the Falmouth Board of Selectmen and the MA Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
2. Closing on the Farley Bog parcel. The Town of Falmouth signed a Quit Claim Deed which was recorded at the Barnstable County Registrar of Deeds along with the approved Conservation Restriction. This transfer of title to the Farley Bog parcel was the final condition imposed by the CPC to make available the $150,000 of CPA funds approved by the CPC and Town Meeting.
3. The project team applied to the Mashpee CPC for a $240,510 award for restoration of the Garner Bogs in Mashpee, a key part of the project. The Mashpee CPC approved the application and it will be submitted to the Mashpee Spring Town Meeting in May 2019 for approval.
4. The Falmouth Rod & Gun Club, Inc. and the Town of Mashpee signed a 30-year lease agreement on the 24.7-acre Garner Bog parcel which is the northern most part of this conservation project. This long-term lease sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Rod & Gun Club will complete the Upper Childs River Restoration Project within the boundaries of the Town of Mashpee.
5. On December 6, 2018, Governor Baker's office issued a press release announcing that our Childs River Restoration Project has been designated a "Priority Project" by the MA Division of Ecological Restoration (DER). This makes our project eligible for technical support, permitting help, project management and grants. DER is reviewing a possible grant for $30,000 for our project for the current fiscal year.
6. The project team, our engineer Inter-Fluve, APCC, US Fish & Wildlife Services (USF&WS), Falmouth DPW management, DPW's engineer Tighe & Bond, WBNERR, and the MA Fisheries biologist met to discuss our engineer's 60% Design Plan. Some of the group's comments and suggestions will be incorporated into the 60% plan.
7. The project team and the USF&WS facilitated negotiations between the town and the federal government to fund replacement of the failing culvert under Carriage Shop Road. In December, the Falmouth DPW and the US Highway Administration (USHA), signed a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the Town and the USHA agree to partner to replace the culvert. USHA will provide $350,000 toward its construction, and the Town will provide funding for Tighe & Bond to do the engineering and permitting on the culvert.
8. The project team has obtained a list of abutters to the project area. This list will be used to inform any contiguous property owner of the project as part of the permitting process.
9. The project team has begun census of downed trees and root wads on the Rod & Gun Club's property to be used to created habitat in the river. Using trees from our property can reduce construction costs as such trees would not have to be transported from off site.
10. Trout Unlimited has donated temperature and dissolved oxygen sensors. The project team, after conversations with Steve Hurley of MA Fisheries, strategically placed them in the river from the Garner Bogs in Mashpee to south of Carriage Shop Road in Falmouth. These sensors will provide valuable data to help identify the best locations for fish habitat based on water temperature, flow and oxygen measures.
11. The project team has placed several 360-degree picture posts on the property to record the progress of the project over time.
12. The project team has created a narrated video shot from a drone which shows the entire project area from about 100 feet above ground. The drone will be used to take videos during different seasons and to monitor the progress of the project.
13. With the 60% Design Plan in place, Inter-Fluve has begun contacting permitting agencies to begin that long process.
