The Erotic Film School is an annual three-day intensive hands-on course that teaches students the art of pornographic filmmaking. This groundbreaking program is the only one of its kind and is led by former BDSM porn star and revolutionary feminist pornographer, Madison Young. It is only in its second year and takes place in the sex-positive, counter-culture capital of the USA: San Francisco, California.nnAs a filmmaker going into this program, I was very excited to simply be around the process of making a video. The experience was instantly nostalgic and served as sort of a refresher for some of the fundamental aspects of the craft.nnStill, I approached the course with genuine curiosities. What can you learn here that you can't from a typical film school? Why not learn how to make films and then just add people f*cking? Well, the answer isn't technical, but rather philosophical.nnThe curriculum is similar to most film schools. It covers scriptwriting, creating a shot list, lighting, operating a camera, editing -- the whole nine yards. But all of these filmmaking topics take a back seat to other theoretical concepts, like creating a comfortable atmosphere for performers -- and capturing passionate, authentic sex. As Young says,nnThe more important things for me are empowering them and talking about what their vision is. What values they want to bring into their filmmaking. How to hold space for a model that is going to be having sex in front of their camerannShe also feels very strongly about promoting individuality and encourages her students to document their own sexual revolutions. The porn industry is like any other industry in that it has a mainstream scene and an independent/alternative scene. There's a stark contrast between creating material for masturbation and creating sexually-explicit content with strong underlying themes and messages.nnAs one student noted, nn Through sex, you can attack so many other things… gender, gender politics, white supremacy & anti-black racism, capitalism, imperialism and the patriarchy.nnSubscribe now for more videos from Elite Daily: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=elitedailynnCheck out more Insights from Elite Daily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCHH_VmpgyM&index=1&list=PLidTvIp4b7EF2_A6DCUgVugXWzJxovCBWnnProducer: Kevin LosaninPost Producer: John StishnCinematographer: Darren JoenEditor: John StishnMotion Graphics: Grace Ferrara & Oliver DudmannPost Production Supervisor: Evan D.

New City, 2014nLiam YoungnMultiple channel video installationnNew City is a series of animated skylines of the near future. In intricate detail they depict a speculative urbanism, an exaggerated version of the present, in which we can project new cultural trends, environmental, political and economic forces. Photographs taken on expeditions around the world documenting these emerging phenomena and weak signals have been meticulously stitched together and extrapolated to form each city skyline. In this way ‘New City’ slips between the real and the imagined, between the documentary and the visionary, where speculative fictions become a way of exploring a world that the everyday struggles to grasp. To accompany the animations the authors Jeff Noon, Pat Cadigan and Tim Maughan have been invited to inhabit each skyline, to breathe life into its characters and cultures and give form to its streets and spaces through a suggestive narrative fragment. Original New City soundscapes have been developed by Coldcut.nnThe City in the SeanBy Pat CadigannnThose silly yellow ducks came back from West GP, showing up right after one dog bell. Kids were so eager to see the Westies' answering messages, they started jumping into the water, bobbing around with their floaties and tangling their tethers. Kids old enough to know better did, too. If I hadn't had dog watch on the still, I mighta jumped in myself even though fourteen makes me a pre-adult.nnI was just so bored. Four days outa the last seven, I've drawn still duty–not my dream job. I want tek stream. My mentor Shesea claims the fresh water distillery is the perfect place for an aspiring tekkie. But Klick's mentor told her it's vital for her and Klick wants meteorology. I guess all the mentors have to say that to fill the rota; somebody's got to make sure the plastic keeps crying. I can't wait for monsoon season and we fill up on rainwater. The sea can get pretty choppy and last year we had some scary-big waves. But the advantage of living in a plastic city is, you wibble and wobble but you never sink.nnMy mother rode out the KaiHuKa, short for Kai Hula Kahiko–"ocean hula." The storm was so bad and lasted so long, they cut the Patch into modules with no more than a dozen people each. Mam was little then but she says she remembers every moment of being strapped into big puffy inflatables with her brother, and how he got seasick and yakked all the time, not just from chop but because he knew everyone's pee got saved for filtration. The water tasted just like still; it was knowing where it came from. Uncle Jahid tells it vice versa. Me, I think it was both of them.nnAfterwards, the pilots homed in on the Big Buoy signal to reunite and restore the Patch. Not everybody made it; some drowned and washed up on one island or another, and one just vanished altogether. Some people didn't want to stay and cut themselves loose again. A few wanted to abolish the Patch altogether and tried to blow it up. I don't know what they were thinking–stuff would just accumulate in the same place and without anyone to make use of it, it would just be a lot of crap for marine life to get tangled up in or choke on.nnThe official story is, they got deported, airlifted out by some island's coast guard. But there are whispers that a pilot took them into the North Pacific Gyre and cut them loose with nothing but a good luck charm and five days' worth of food and water–no smart-map, no radio, not even a beacon.nnI wouldn't really want to see another KaiHuKa but I kinda like the idea of cutting the Patch into pieces and rearranging them. Looking at the sat-receiver array and the solar collectors, I know I could position all of them better. I made a model out of beads and plastic remnants and showed it to my mentor. Shesea said I showed promise but I had a lot more still shifts to go before I got my hands on actual hardware.nnAnd they say we're a more flexible society than landlubbers.

Apotek | Ad That Could Blow You Away Literally | Swedish Pharmacy Commercial Subway Trains BillboardnnHair-Raising Subway Ad Blows Away the Competition A clever outdoor ad from Sweden uses a bit of technology to transcend the limits of the medium.nnApotek, a pharmacy brand, outfitted subway platform ads in Stockholm with ultra-sonic sensors that discerned when a train was coming. The ad featured a model with a lush mane, and when the train came, her hair flapped in the wind and she struggled to keep it in place.nnSEE ALSO: Billboard Shows Different Messages for Kids and AdultsnnThe tagline: Make your hair come alive.nnThe ad surfaced around the same time that another billboard, from IKEA, was using alternating red, blue and green lighting to express three different messages and underscore a point about maximizing space.nnHave something to add to this story? Share it in the comments. This Ingenious Subway Ad Activates When the Train Arrives Last November, British Airways unveiled billboards that interact with airplanes. Now, Swedish pharmacy chain Apotek has come up with some creepily-awesome subway ads that respond to incoming trains. To promote a new line of hair products, Apotek snuck ultrasonic sensors into digital screens on a Stockholm subway platform. The sensors monitor the train's arrival, ensuring that the model's luscious tresses are blown away each time the train pulls in.nnThis video shows the installation process. And here's some additional raw footage --which seems to suggest that timing the ad just right is a bit tricky. In this instance, the model's hair doesn't start blowing until well after the train first arrives. Campaña de Apotek Hjärtat en el metro de Estocolmo Clear Channel Outdoor, especialista en soluciones de comunicación, ha desarrollado una llamativa campaña en una estación de metro de Estocolmo para la compañía farmacéutica Apotek Hjärtat. Ad of the Week: Apotek Hjärtat digital poster An innocuous looking poster in a Stockholm subway proved surprising to commuters recently when the model starring in the ad reacted to the arrival of trains, with her hair blowing around as if by the wind. The digital poster, which is for haircare company Apotek Hjärtat, is our Ad of the Week.nCreated by ad agency Åkestam Holst and interactive and post production company Stopp, the poster was fitted with an ultra sonic sensor so it would react to the arrival of incoming trains, though not to passing passengers. The film below shows how it worked: Apolosophy by Apotek Outdoor ad in Sweden Last year we saw a digital billboard ad for British Airways that showed a child stand up and point when a BA plane flew overhead, and this work is a similarly clever use of technology. As with the BA work, the tech is used to create an effect that is right on brand for the client. And the work even impressed Clear Channel: the ad was initially going to run for one day only but the media company saw it as such a good advert for its screens' capabilities that they kept it live for five additional days. THIS SWEDISH SUBWAY AD UNDERSTANDS HOW HARD IT IS TO KEEP YOUR HAIR NICE WHEN THE TRAIN BLOWS PAST The curious dual nature of public transportation means that the arrival of a subway train is met with both the thrill of knowing that you don't have to wait in a station anymore, and the unpleasant experience of dealing with a train that's about to zoom by you, blowing your hair and screaming in your ear. That's something that Scandinavian drug store chain Apotek decided to play with for its new interactive subway poster campaign highlighting a new line of hair care products. In this 45-second video, Apotek, agency Perfect Fools and production company Stopp demonstrate how they installed an ultrasonic sensor in digital posters, which were capable of monitoring when the trains would arrive in the station. As they do, the blonde-haired model who otherwise sits pleasantly smiling and occasionally blinking at commuters suddenly reacts--as her voluminous locks start blowing all over her face. Those in the station seem to appreciate the unexpected fun that the drug store brought to their commute, rendering an otherwise ominous tagline--"makes your hair come alive"--into a safe, friendly bit of relatable whimsy. Advertising: Now with interactive hairnFebruary 28th, 2014 • No CommentsBy Ian WadenFollowing on from British Airways' planespotting ad, it seems like interactive is now quite the thing for advertising and consumer brand engagement.nnThe pharmacy brand Apotek have fitted out subway adverts in Stockholm with ultra-sonic sensors that react to when a train is arriving or departing the station.nnThe ads feature a lady with nice hair that swishes about in reaction to the trains.

Cape Dory 28 for sale in Oriental NC 28571 http://www.yachtshots.us/boats-for-sale.html Sailors in the market for a traditionally styled, sturdily built cruising boat under 30 feet in length have two options. They can spend $150,000 or more for a custom or semi-custom built boat from one of several manufacturers, or they spend a lot less for a good used boat from one of several production boatbuilders who used to build such models. The Cape Dory 28, offered by Cape Dory Yachts from 1975 to 1988, is the latter.This model was designed by Carl Alberg whose conservative design style seldom wavered regardless of size. I suspect he didn't like tinkering much with a proven formula. The Cape Dory 28 features a full-length keel with attached rudder, relatively low freeboard, a very handsome sheer and a well proportioned traditional trunk cabin. The bow and stern are nicely balanced and overhangs are a bit shorter, relative to the overall length, than Alberg's earlier designs. The overall length of this model is 28' 1-1/4". Hulls are constructed of a solid fiberglass laminate and are most often trouble-free, with the possible exception of some osmotic blistering below the waterline. Blistering is usually not severe and I have yet to see a case that I felt seriously compromised the safety of the boat. Decks, on the other hand, are constructed with a center core of plywood or balsa. Stress cracking is common and if left unattended allows water into the core and eventually weakens the structure. If this happens where chain plates and other deck hardware is attached, it can result in a serious problem. Another area that should be checked out on Cape Dory 28 models are the fuel tanks. Cylindrical steel tanks used on some models may be badly rusted and the welded aluminum tanks used on most models are mounted on a plywood base and held in place by wood cleats around the bottom of the tank. When wood comes in direct contact with aluminum it caused pitting and eventual failure. The good news is that these tanks are easily accessed through the port seat locker and replacement, if necessary, is not a difficult task. The deck arrangement is well balanced. The foredeck is large enough for sail handling and ground tackle, side decks wide enough for safe passage and the cockpit is large enough to accommodate four adults. Most 28s have tiller steering that is easily put out of the way at anchor and the mainsheet that attaches aft of the cockpit so as to not interfere with passengers. Cape Dory 28 The interior features a V-berth forward followed by a port head and starboard hanging locker. Originally the main saloon had a small pilot berth behind the port settee and a starboard settee separated by a drop leaf table. After the first year or so of production, the port pilot berth was eliminated in favor of a larger settee that slides towards the centerline to make what was promoted as a double berth. However, the berth is a bit narrow for two adults. The galley is aft with an alcohol stove to port, and sink and ice box to starboard. There are two opening deck hatches and eight opening bronze ports for the best ventilation to be found on a boat of this size. Most Cape Dory 28s were powered by two-cylinder, 15-hp Volvo diesels which are loud and will shake your fillings loose, but when properly maintained they are very long-lived. I have seen at least one 28 powered by a 10-hp Farymann diesel and in the latter years of production they were offered with lighter and quieter 14-hp Universal diesels. This boat is very underpowered with a Farymann 10-hp engine but both Volvo and Universal engines provide acceptable power. The engine is reasonably accessible for service from the cabin and cockpit lockers, although the shaft packing gland is nearly impossible for normal-sized person to reach for service. http://www.yachtshots.us/boats-for-sale.html Discount yacht broker IE: flat fee yacht brokers https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=sQVdKsgo6Mo Less

How Legal Marijuana Is Working in Colorado

Opponents of legalization predicted disaster. Did that really happen?nnSubscribe: goo.gl/NqjoWInn"There’s this idea that marijuana just appeared on January 1, 2014 and all of a sudden everyone is going to be using marijuana and not going to work," says Christian Sederberg, a Denver-based attorney at Vicente Sederberg LLC and one of the key members of Colorado’s Amendment 64 campaign to legalize cannabis. "These are adults. They make decisions. They’ve been using marijuana for a long time and now they’re buying it from a taxed and regulated store."nnIt’s been over 18 months since Colorado became one of the first states to legalize marijuana. Though opponents of the measure predicted doom and gloom scenarios, the end of pot prohibition has not resulted in apocalyptic disaster. nnIn fact, the legalization of cannabis has been a boon to Colorado financially with an expected one billion in sales by 2016 and $40 million in excise taxes to be placed in state coffers. nn"No taxes or anything are going to be a panacea. But what it is though is $60 to $100 million at the state level. That’s real money," states Sederberg. nnThat’s not to say that legalization hasn’t come with it’s challenges. nnOne of the unforeseen areas where Colorado faced problems was with edibles—an issue illustrated in Maureen Dowd’s now famous (and highly mockable) editorial where she recounts her bad trip on edibles. The New York Times also reported that just after five months of legal sales, Colorado hospitals reported an increase in the number of children and adults becoming sick from eating edibles (the same article also notes the lack of hard data on the topic).nn"The biggest challenge with edibles is not the marijuana," says Sederberg. "The onset takes time and so people will consume what they are told is a serving…and then it doesn’t work for a while. So then they’ll take another one…and they end up overconsuming." nnThe state has responded to such incidents by clarifying regulations on serving sizes and packaging. Colorado now requires that each edible serving size contain no more than 10 milligrams of active THC. The amount of active THC must also be clearly marked on the product and individual edibles must be easily separated into single serving sizes. nnSederberg notes that one of the main reasons for the popularity of edibles is due to the fact that there are no legal spaces to consume marijuana publicly. nn"There’s no place to use in a social environment," says Sederberg. "We really need to make a space for people to consume in a public environment and to be social just like you are with alcohol."nnSederberg and other legalization advocates are pushing for a November state ballot measure that would create public environments where people could use cannabis socially. nnAs Colorado refines their regulations, a handful of other states—including California, Nevada, Arizona, Massachusetts, and Maine—could legalize marijuana in 2016. What can they learn from the Colorado experience?nnSederberg stresses the importance of collaboration in the policy making process. "The Colorado model is the work group. It’s the collaboration," says Sederberg. "You have to listen to all sides. We’ve gotten some very good ideas from people that were our opponents who are not our opponents anymore because they saw that we are working at making it better."nnApproximately 6 minutes. nnProduced by Alexis Garcia & Alex Manning.

REGISTER your workplace or organization to take part in Loud Shirt Day and have a great time getting loud with your colleagues and raising money to help deaf children! Presented by Alessandro Sorbello http://www.alessandrosorbello.com On Loud Shirt Day everyone wears their loudest and brightest shirts to work and donates to give deaf children a voice.rnrnA cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing. The cochlear implant is often referred to as a bionic ear. Unlike hearing aids, the cochlear implant does not amplify sound, but works by directly stimulating any functioning auditory nerves inside the cochlea with electrical impulses. External components of the cochlear implant include a microphone, speech processor and transmitter which also allows an individual to adjust the sound for quality and amplificationrnAccording to researchers at the University of Michigan,[1] approximately 100,000 people worldwide have received cochlear implants, with recipients split almost evenly between children and adults. The vast majority are in developed countries due to the high cost of the device, surgery and post-implantation therapy — Mexico had performed only 55 cochlear implant operations by the year 2000 (Berruecos 2000). China will be having 15,000 cochlear implant surgeries on children, which are being paid for by a Taiwanese philanthropist. There is concern that the follow-up services in China are not adequate to meet the needs of cochlear implanted children.[2] A small percentage of those now have bilateral implants, or one on each cochlea. Bilateral cochlear implants are a growing trend globally, Cochlear Americas reported that 15% of their 2006 sales in the United States were for bilateral implants.[3]rnIndividuals who have acquired deafblindness (loss of hearing and vision combined) may find cochlear implants a radical improvement in their daily life. It may provide them with more information for safety, communication, balance, orientation and mobility and promote interaction within their environment and with other people, reducing isolation. Having more auditory information that they may be familiar with may provide them independent gathering of information to become more independent.rnThe implant often gives recipients additional auditory information, which may include sound discrimination fine enough to understand speech in quiet environments. Though sufficient, and quality, post-implantation rehabilitative therapy is a critical factor affecting the success rate.rnThe introduction of cochlear implants has seen the renewal of a century-old debate about models of deafness that often pits hearing parents of deaf children against the Deaf community. There is debate whether Cochlear implants are ethically sound; see Ethics below.rnThe discovery that electrical stimulation to the auditory system can create a perception of sound occurred around 1790, when Alessandro Volta (the developer of the electric battery) placed metal rods in his own ears and connected them to a 50-volt circuit, experiencing a jolt and hearing a noise "like a thick boiling soup". Other experiments occurred sporadically, until electrical (sound-amplifying) hearing aids began to be developed in earnest in the 20th century.rnThe first direct stimulation of an acoustic nerve with an electrode was performed in the 1950s by the French-Algerian surgeons André Djourno and Charles Eyriès. They placed wires on nerves exposed during an operation, and reported that the patient heard sounds like "a roulette wheel" and "a cricket" when a current was applied.rnIn 1961, American doctor William F. House of House Ear Institute and House Ear Clinic had Djourno's paper translated and had devices made which he implanted into three patients. In 1969 he created the first wearable implant. House's technology used a single electrode and was designed to aid lip-reading. Throughout the 1970s, University Of Melbourne researcher Graeme Clark, initially inspired to develop an artificial hearing device through his deaf father,[4] developed implants which stimulated the cochlea at multiple points, and on the 1st of August, 1978, Melbourne resident Rod Saunders was implanted with the first Australian multi-channel cochlear implant. Although other multi-channel implants had been performed since 1964, this marked the beginning of one of the most successful. Less

Presidential Candidates Family Members Who Died of Drugs/Alcohol

The opioid epidemic (heroin and prescription pain medications) has devastated parts of the country. The prevalence of drug abuse (including alcohol) knows no socioeconomic boundaries, as evidence that the families of at least three current Presidential candidates have lost a direct family member to substance abuse.nnnnnThe heroin and prescription drug epidemic is finally getting the attention from politicians because families devastated by this tragedy are speaking out.nnA year ago, my step daughter died of a heroin overdose.nnI have to confess to you, I did not believe that I would be talking as much as I do about substance abuse. But tha’s what I started hearing about. It started in the earliest days of this campaign.nnI also lost a son…excuse me, I’m sorry. But it was do to mental illness, which all wraps into this. I think so many people are mentally ill and are not diagnosed and that’s how they end up on drugs and alcohol. nnProof that death and addiction has no social or economic boundary can be fund in the fact that at least four candidates running for President have had a family member die or go into drug treatment. nnRecently Pastor Rafael Cruz, father of presidential candidate Ted Cruz spoke to us about the death of his daughter from a drug overdose.nnShe was taking a lot of pain medications. So she had a very difficult life. Actually I feel she was a very bright woman. Just her involvement with drugs probably was a hindrance to achieving all that God had in mind…planned for her. But it was sad situation that even when my son Ted and I visited with her to try to rescue her out of cocaine, that she didn’t want it. It just had to come to the point where she was at the end of herself.nnnAlso, Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump have spoken publicly about the lose of a loved one to addiction. nnMy husband Frank and I buried a child to drug addiction. So we must invest more in treatment of drugs.nnBut I had a brother who was a fantastic guy, Fred and he was a young man and he passed away at a fairly young age. And he was an alcoholic. He dies of alcoholism. nIn addition, an adult child of one candidate had a highly publicized incident that lead to a drug treatment program more than a decade ago. nnBut given the wide breath of the heroin and prescription drug epidemic—more people in the United States now die of drug overdoses than car accidents—it is not surprising the epidemic has directly impacted the lives of presidential candidates.nnI know that addiction is the great equalizer. It doesn’t care about socioeconomic factors, it doesn’t care about ethnicity, it doesn’t care about age or race or anything. It really could effect any family. The fact that some of the candidates have addiction in their families doesn’t surprise me a bit. nnMany people attribute addiction to the behavior of the user, contending people have a choice and they choose to do drugs. This approach is the underlying reason we put people in jail for drug use and focus resources into stopping the supply of drugs. It also creates a stigma of blame that prevents many families from speaking up.nI believe we need to shut off the supply of heroin. As you probably know, you can buy a pack of heroin for less than cigarettes in some places. nnThe countering view is that while initial drug use is a choice, for many reasons ranging from genetics to the nature of the drug, the brain eventually becomes affected by long-term use and the need for the drug overwhelms all other desires. This disease model has a foundation in scientific research and would radically change our criminal justice and substance abuse strategies. nnDon’t worry about people accusing you of being soft on crime. Throwing people in jail who are non violent drug users is being stupid on crime. nnYou know this is a disease. This is a chronic condition. nnIf I do become President of the United States, I’m going to be talking about this in every corner of this country. Make sure that families come from out of the shadows to talk about this problem, because they’ll know that everyone in this country, from the President on down understands this disease, understands the need for greater availability of treatment, understands that we should not be incarcerating every person who has a disease and to give everyone the tools they need to be able to reclaim their lives. That’s what’s most important in this country. Less

Per Wickstrom discusses drug addiction with Kendall Schmidt

When we examine the problems that face our society today, one of the biggest issues that always seems to pop up is the rampant spread of drug abuse and alcoholism through the youth of America. With increasing social pressures and overstimulation due to television, movies, video games and the internet, guiding our children and young adults down the right path can often be very challenging. Keeping their attention and helping them to find healthy and positive alternatives to using substances is increasingly difficult, and this problem is compounded by the fact that parents and role models have to work much harder and longer hours to provide for their families financially, resulting in less quality time being spent with their kids. It is for this very reason that A Forever Recovery makes every effort to reach beyond the walls of our addiction treatment center to spread our message of substance-free living to as many people as we can, especially today’s youth.nnOn one such occasion, Per Wickstrom, the CEO of A Forever Recovery, found the opportunity to speak with Kendall Schmidt, a member of the pop music act “Big Time Rush” whose performances are full of positivity geared towards children and teens. The topic of discussion was the obstacles facing our youth today and the different ways that we can be a source of hope and encouragement for them. “My dad talks about when he was a kid and what it was like, and it was a completely different time,” Kendall says of the problem of drug and alcohol use in kids. “It almost seems like it’s a lot worse now, or at least more in the open.” It has become quite evident that if we don’t do everything we can to reach out to children at a young age before they begin to follow that dark path of substance abuse, we have little hope of being able to end the epidemic of addiction that we struggle against.nnIn discussing these important issues, the question of what we can do to make a difference often comes up. “I think the most important thing is education,” offers Kendall, “and teaching about things that happen in real life.” While the treatment of addiction is the part that we at A Forever Recovery play in the fight against chemical dependency, we believe that prevention and education on the dangers of using drugs and alcohol are equally important in this ongoing battle. We are committed to doing everything we can to help make this world a better place to live and to build a brighter and more promising future for everybody in it.nnnA Forever Recoveryn216 St Marys Lake Rd, nBattle Creek, MI 49017n+1 (866) 749 8240nhttp://aforeverrecovery.comnnCome and visit A Forever Recovery Google + page and follow us:nhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/b/105782181019707079819nnFollow A Forever Recovery on twitter:nhttps://twitter.com/foreverrecoverynnLike A Forever Recovery on Facebook:nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Forever-Recovery/146296455402522nnCheck out the A Forever Recovery About Us page:nhttp://www.aboutus.org/Aforeverrecovery.comnnSubscribe to the A Forever Recovery channel:nhttp://www.youtube.com/aforeverrecoverynn Less

Opponents worry it would harm Switzerland's competitiveness.nnIn this episode, The Stream speaks with:nnStanislas Jourdan @basicincomeEUnCoordinator, Unconditional Basic Income Europenbasicincome-europe.orgnnAsh Navabi @ashnavabinBlogger, Mises Institute Canadanmises.cannEnno SchmidtnCo-founder, Basic Income Initiative, Switzerlandngrundeinkommen.chnnFrancine Mestrum @FMestrumnFounder, Global Social Justicenglobalsocialjustice.eunnWhat do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.nn---nnUniversal Basic Income is a form of guaranteed minimum income granted to all individual citizens regardless of income or employment status. It is being touted as a way to raise citizens above the poverty line, yet has not been fully implemented in any country. Last year, Cyprus announced plans to introduce a Guaranteed Minimum Income to all citizens by June 2014, while members of four major parties in Canada support introducing basic income policies.nnBasic income is not a new concept, however. It has been advocated as a solution to poverty since the beginning of the 16th century. In 1795, Thomas Paine suggested a "national fund" in order to "remedy" the evils produced by civilised life, like poverty. nn-- quote ssa.gov --nn"To create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property:"nnMartin Luther King Jr. also wanted every American to receive a guaranteed, middle-class income.nnn-- quote progress.org --nn"The problem indicates that our emphasis must be two-fold. We must create full employment or we must create incomes. People must be made consumers by one method or the other. Once they are placed in this position, we need to be concerned that the potential of the individual is not wasted. New forms of work that enhance the social good will have to be devised for those for whom traditional jobs are not available."nnnNow Swiss activists have gathered 125,000 signatures, enough to start a public referendum allowing voters to decide on whether to adopt basic income. A petition to the European Union has gathered more than 285,000 signatures and additional petitions are being created on sites like Avaaz in order to reach 1 million supporters.nnn-- quote basicincome2013.eu --n n"In the long run the objective is to offer to each person in the EU the unconditional right as an individual, to having his/her material needs met to ensure a life of dignity as stated by the EU treaties, and to empower participation in society supported by the introduction of the UBI. In the short term, initiatives such as "pilot-studies" (Art 156 TFEU) and examination of different models of UBI (EP resolution 2010/2039(INI) §44) should be promoted by the EU."nnnOn social media, the idea of basic income as a replacement to what many say are cumbersome and less flexible welfare programs, is gathering steam. Reddit user Cleopatra_Jones says about the Swiss proposal:nn-- quote reddit.com --nn"The idea is that approx. 70 billion CHF (about $80bn) of various current social costs would be replaced by a single uniform payment - including unemployment insurance, widow / orphan income supplements, disability payments, etc. It'd also consolidate a lot of the bureaucracy around these. Every adult would receive 2500 CHF, and every child 625 CHF, per month."nnn-- quote senjutsuka --nn"The current proposals end up reducing or equalling current tax costs. The reasons is the current welfare systems (for US) are so inefficiently handled that this actually saves money by just giving to everyone more or less equally.nnnOthers discussed the benefits of basic income policies on Reddit and Twitter. nn-- quote AbrahamLinkin --nnI've been a libertarian for quite a while now, but I'm starting to lean heavily to the left because of this concept. Equality of opportunity is a powerful concept. nnsourcenhttp://stream.aljazeera.com/story/201403200004-0023573 Less

Finding Joy in the Unknown: Kalina Gallardo's Story in DPS

YouTube

“My story is unique, but everyone’s story is unique,” Kalina Gallardo said as she sat on a high chair at the center of the main stage ...

“My story is unique, but everyone’s story is unique,” Kalina Gallardo said as she sat on a high chair at the center of the main stage at Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy, a high school in Southwest Denver. “I would say I believe strongly in your roots and knowing where you come from, and my family has had this identity that’s always an ‘us against the world’ mentality.”nnIt’s a mentality that isn’t warm and fuzzy because Kalina’s family’s life circumstances haven’t been either of those things. At 12 years old, her father was deported. For the next four years, Kalina’s mother – who suffers from severe mental illness – struggled back and forth with the criminal justice system while battling homelessness.nnAt 16, Kalina and her brother became independent.nn“Those phases of growing from a teenager into an adult took place over the period of two months rather than four years,” she said.nnSide by side, Kalina and her brother learned to cook for themselves, clean for themselves and – perhaps the most difficult life lesson of all – learned to ask for help.nnFortunately, Kalina’s high school teachers and friends encouraged her to ask for help. It changed Kalina’s entire perspective on the world, particularly her us against the world mentality.nn“When I was at home without a mom or a dad, I always knew I had strong adult mentors and role models who weren’t going to give me everything, but were going to give me the tools to help myself,” she said. “Not everything is against me, but it really is truly open and ready for me to be a part of it.”nnToday, Kalina is a student leader representing Kunsmiller Creative Arts Academy on the Denver Public Schools Student Board of Education. As someone who has experienced social and emotional challenges throughout her teenage years, Kalina volunteers to co-chair the Whole Child steering committee – a critical component of Denver Plan 2020.nn“I think DPS has taught me to just take the leap. To just say, maybe no one has ever done this before, but I will,” she said. “You can graduate with the knowledge, the energy and the passion to graduate and start a career or do anything you want. That’s the next phase of my life: using everything that I have a DPS graduate to give back to those who need support just like I did.” Less

I’m quite serious. And, no, this isn’t about nostalgia for America in the 1950s. This is about a man of his time, yet timeless. But to appreciate him, we first have to get past the noise. n nA loud corner of American culture has been rebelling against the image of the 1950s since, oh...the 1950s. Most of that scorn has been directed at the Ozzie-and-Harriet image of American suburban bliss, specifically “dad.” Well, enough already. Can we at least entertain the idea that in the rejection of that stereotypical 1950s suburban dad image, we threw some metaphorical babies out with the bathwater? That if today’s men modeled Ward Cleaver, America and the world would be better places? Sure, compared with current pop icons, he comes across as boring and buttoned-down. But it’s a very incomplete picture. nnOf Ward Cleaver we can also say this: He’s a man who takes care of business. He doesn’t make excuses. He doesn’t whine. He doesn’t brood in defeat. He knows that his hard work and persistence will eventually win the day, if not this day. And there’s a lot he’s simply outgrown. He never had any interest in perpetuating his own adolescence. He’s a grown-up who accepts marriage and fatherhood as the life of an adult.nnNow, we can quibble about his methods, but we can’t dispute that he loves his wife and kids, that they know he loves them, and that he tries to do what’s best for them—usually pretty successfully. What is not in dispute is that he’s the man of the house, that he wears that title with pride, and everyone, including his wife, likes that fact. nnWard wasn’t alone. There were lots of other iconic dads of that era: Ozzie Nelson of “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet;” Jim Anderson from “Father Knows Best;” one could argue George Bailey in the 1946 film, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” They were grown-ups who had already been through a Great Depression and, in many cases, were veterans of World War II or, later, the Korean War. nnTheir archetype outlasted the 1950s—Steve Douglas of “My Three Sons,” Mike Brady of “The Brady Bunch,” Howard Cunningham in “Happy Days,” and Cliff Huxtable in “The Cosby Show” (we’re talking TV characters here) shared similar traits. Like all human beings who have ever lived and whoever will live, these men had flaws. But in the end, they were solid and dependable. If you had to summarize them in one word, that word would be “responsible.”nnMaybe they seem like such throwbacks now because so much of our culture has thoroughly embraced irresponsibility. But if you ask women what they really want in a man— or at least all those women who have grown out of their adolescent fascination with bad boys – they may not say Ward Cleaver, but they’ll describe most, if not all, of his traits: Reliable; trustworthy; smart; confident, but not smug. Funny and capable of laughing at himself. A man who’s successful at work, but not a workaholic. A man who likes children, but is not a child himself. Perhaps most importantly, devoted to his family. It’s an indisputably masculine figure. And make no mistake, that’s what most women want and what all children need.nnTo view the complete script, visit https://www.prageru.com/courses/life-studies/sexiest-man-alive Less

19-year-old West Side woman was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at a Rosemont hotel Sunday morning, about a day after she had gone missing from a party she attended with friends, police and her family said.nnKenneka Jenkins was discovered after an hours-long search and was pronounced dead at 12:48 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.nTereasa Martin, the mother of 19-year-old Kenneka Jenkins, talks about the circumstances surrounding her daughter's death Sept. 10, 2017. Jenkins was found dead in a walk-in freezer at a Rosemont hotel where she had gone for a party with friends and had been missing for a day, her family said. nnJenkins' mother, Tereasa Martin, said police told her Jenkins apparently let herself into the freezer while inebriated and died inside. An autopsy was performed Sunday but it wasn't immediately clear whether foul play was suspected, according to Becky Schlikerman, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.nnThe cause and manner of the teen's death remained undetermined.nnnnnTamisha Akbar (born April 17, 1970), better known asTami Roman is an American television personality, model, businesswoman and actress.

Tami and her mother were suddenly in an upward swing, as Tami booked several guest starring roles on TV shows and became afull-time guest VJ for MTV.nnBy chance, Tami ended up meeting her future husband, Kenny Anderson, father to her two beautiful daughters, Lyric and Jazz.
