Playwright, poet, and librettist Dan O’Brien (ΦBK, Middlebury College, 1996) reached an important career milestone this past year with the release of his first stage collection, Dan O’Brien: Plays One. Initially published in the U.K. by Oberon Books, it will be distributed in America this April by Theatre Communications Group. The Body of an American—one of five plays featured in the collection—won the Horton Foote Prize for Outstanding New American Play, the inaugural Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama, the PEN Center USA Award for Drama, and the L. Arnold Weissberger Award. In 2015, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in the category of drama and performance art. His wife, Jessica St. Clair (ΦBK, Middlebury College, 1998), is an actor, writer, and producer. They reside in Los Angeles with their daughter Isobel.
You’re a playwright, a poet, and a librettist. Do you find yourself naturally gravitating more towards one form as opposed to the others? Is it still much of the same creative process between the three, or do you exercise “different parts of your brain,” to work on different areas of literature?
O’Brien: I follow my instinct in terms of whether or not something wants to be a poem, or a play, or libretto. Often my subjects overlap genres: I’ve written two plays and three collections of poetry and a libretto about the Pulitzer Prize-winning war reporter Paul Watson. And I have a collection of autobiographical poems entitled Scarsdale, a play entitled The House in Scarsdale: A Memoir for the Stage (which just received five LA Drama Critics Circle Award nominations); and I’ve been working on a prose memoir of childhood for a few years now. But each form affords a different perspective, a different mode of expression.
Will you ever expand the area of your work even more? Maybe into novels, for example?
O’Brien: Yes, as mentioned I have this memoir-in-progress. And I’ve written and published short stories here and there over the years. As well as personal essays—my essay “Of Time and the Theatre,” about my lifelong love of the theatre from the perspective of recent cancer treatments for both my wife and me, is just out this month in the Missouri Review. And excerpted yesterday at LitHub. I also just published a book review in the Times Literary Supplement.
How has your education in the liberal arts shaped your work and who you are today? You also teach. Do you see the impact it has on the lives of your students?
O’Brien: My liberal arts education and experience as an English/theatre major at Middlebury College in the ‘90s prepared me well for a lifetime of critical and creative thinking. Everything I write is an attempt to learn something new, about myself and my subjects, and in this way I don’t feel like my education has ever ended. I certainly hope not. Yes, I teach playwriting at colleges here and there, most frequently at the Sewanee Writers’ Conference for a couple weeks in the summers, and I hope I can foster a similar passion for engaging with and creating challenging, meaningful art. Of course I enjoy teaching because my students inspire me—and they keep me company, too.
O’Brien: My somewhat facetious advice, at least to young writers, is: “Don’t take advice.” But I mean it: there are so many opportunities for disillusionment, especially if you’re passionate, so it’s crucial that you follow your own internal compass. Be strange, discover and keep discovering what’s unique about your experience and your natural style of expression. I also advise young artists to treat it as your job, even if nobody’s paying you, in the belief that eventually you’ll be able to make a living at it. Of course younger artists especially need day jobs. But my advice has more to do with valuing what you do even if society doesn’t.
What’s next for Dan O’Brien? What are you currently working on?
O’Brien: I’m working on a new collection of poetry, the memoir I’ve mentioned, an experimental rock opera, with my old college friend John Colpitts of the bands Oneida and Man Forever, about Sasquatch and cancer for Portland Center Stage in Oregon; a new play entitled New Life for Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles, about my friend war reporter Paul Watson, his experience in Syria and our tragicomic attempts to fashion a TV pilot out of it; and a commission for the American Revolutions Cycle at Oregon Shakespeare Festival (a co-commission with the Public Theatre in NYC) about the history of guns in America.

Sometimes around here people will be throwing away pieces of decking wood only 15-25 years old.
NICE looking wood nuhobby!! This is the exact reason why I'll try to salvage the tired looking, warped lumber on the ER 10 I'm restoring. I can't wait to see what a new surface is going to look like on mine.
About 25 years ago the fence that went around my back yard was falling down. I ripped it all out and replaced it. A friend of mine (about 50 years my senior, who passed away a few years ago), asked if he could have the old fence, and I told him to come and get it. As it turns out, the only wood that was bad were the 2X4's and posts. He salvaged all of the fence boards by running them through a planer (after pulling all the nails)! They had started out as about 1 1/2 thick clear cedar boards, and after he planed them, he had nice 1" thick (beautiful) clear cedar boards. Why didn't I think of that??? I did knot have a planer at the time, but what an excuse, er, reason to get one!
Buying US made products will help keep YOUR job or retirement funds safer.
Last summer I found 9 beat-up large pine shelving boards in a shopping-center trash bin. Some of them were almost black from years of warehouse use.
More to come at a later date; LOML has me stripping wallpaper these days!
I here that 68 was a very good year for pine. Seriously I like the look of old wood.
and a few other woodworking tools.
The front doors of my home shop (Canada) are made form recycled pool decking from an above ground pool we 86ed when we bought the house.
Sorry about the distracting object in foreground. It's the only photo I have here(AZ) of the doors.
You may find that one of the pitfalls of recycled wood are hidden nails and screws. Pay close attention to any dark stains, as this may be where someone "burried" a nail that is just waiting for your band saw (or worse yet, planer knives) to strike. I can tell you from first hand experience that something as simple as a stationary staple will wipe out a set of high-speed planer knives beyond use. Funny story about that, the lumber industry was making a switch to plastic staples a few years ago. One vendor had manufactured plastic staples that were harder than their steel counterparts and was not too well received.
I have planed down a herd of "old" wood over the years. I usually wait until the planer is getting a little dull to do much of of it. I also usually set up outside in a breeze where I don't have to worry about what it might have been finished with (like lead based paint). I have yet to completely ruin a set of planer blades. A tiny nick or two yes. Most of the time just shifting the blades end wise so that none of the nicks line up takes care of any ridges until I get done with the used stuff. I sharpen my own blades and keep several sets. The Foley/Belsaw has fairly heavy blades and I have ground some sets several times.
I keep saying that I am "old school" and that applies to planers too. I subscribe to the old statement that "the planer is a dimensioning tool, not a finishing tool". I do not shoot for a glass smooth surface on every piece of planed lumber. As long as it leaves a surface that can be very quickly sanded to a ready to finish surface I just keep planing. Even if it comes out like glass I am still going to sand it so why sweat a few teeny little ridges on the surface.
After 20 odd years in the Lumber industry, I have seen a lot of seemingly insignificant objects do a real number on planer knives. The thickness of the blade really didnt make a lot of difference, since the cutting edges were taking the hit. Knife hardness really made a difference as the softer High Carbon knives seem to nick less severely than HSS.
Using an older set of knives is a wise choice as there is a bit of "heel" set into the knives that gives a bit of a thicker edge as well.

Just to clarify, my reference to the bigger blades was not to say that they would get nicked less, just that there are more sharpenings in them.
I figure that if I miss finding a nail driven into the surface it is my fault. If I hit something that the wood has grown around that comes under the heading of "surprise!!"

Skilled marketers are not born, but with the right marketing methods and the right guidance you will be one!
Just follow my step-by-step marketing methods and repeat those steps over and over, everyday.
I spent over 20 years perfecting!
Hi, my name is Peter Wolfing. My road to network marketing was a long one but on that was inevitable. I have been an entrepreneur my whole life. It’s in my blood. You have the thirst early in lie in most cases and that’s the way it was with me.
From as early as I can remember, I was always looking for ways to make money. My earliest recollection was when I was 8 years old. I would ride my bike back and forth to the local convenience store called Fred’s. I’d buy all sorts of candy and rush back to sell them to my friends and the other kids in the area.
I did not have the concept of making profit at that point. It was the thrill of buying and selling that got me going.
Throughout junior high school I would buy candy and sell it to everyone. I did the local Penny Saver bike route. Wow, was that hard!
I bought and sold comic books and all sorts of things. I will spare you the smaller details because I think you get the point.
I graduated school and went into the USMC. My experiences in the military are vast and ones I go back to often because it influenced me in many ways. I rose to the rank of Sergeant in under 3 years which is very difficult. While doing that, I took night college classes and also ran a business at night and weekends.
I looked at my stint in the service as an opportunity to learn and grow and took every course they could give me.
"Best Book On MLM Marketing"
This is the best book on MLM marketing I have ever seen. It’s easy to read and full of detailed, usable info.
A turning point in my life was about a month before I was debating to re-enlist or not. The USMC offered me a huge signing bonus because they sent me to electronics school for months and I guess they found me valuable.
Two weeks before re-enlisting, my parents called me up and told me that they had opened a restaurant and that they needed me. To an entrepreneur, that is like a feeding frenzy. I could not refuse a challenge like that.
While in the restaurant business, I worked 60-80 hours a week and also got my culinary degree at the same time with honors. As usual, I took everything serious and did the best I could with what I was doing at the time.
After 5 plus years in the business, I got a visit from a customer about a business opportunity. He would not tell me what it was. Just that is was hot and it was some kind of marketing.
An Email Vacation Response is not just for vacation notices.
They can be used to be pro-active to auto-send any message you want. Method #38 reveals exactly how.
I had said I would go but passed on it because I was swamped.
As fate would have it a year later another customer invited me and actually drove me to a hotel meeting for another opportunity.
I went and thought I would be open-minded and after all, I didn’t know what it was about anyway. Little did I know that this meeting would be a major turning point in my life!
The company is not important. They are still around today. The thing that really peaked my interest was a story the presenter told me.
He disguised it very well actually. He said that he had just bought a car and he was so happy with it that the dealer told him that if he referred anyone, he would get $500 if they bought the car. Everyone thought the same as I did. That would be great. How did he work that deal? Dealers don’t do that.
He then said that he had referred 10 people that had bought from the dealership and was a very happy person right now.
"I Don't Know How Peter Does It!"
"I don't know how Peter does it. What I DO know is that Peter consistently knocks it out of the park every single time he promotes a product. If you can learn only 1% of what Peter knows by purchasing his book, this very well may be just the FIRST of many investments you'll be able to make with your brand new lifestyle."
The presenter went on to ask us this question.. “What if there were a system where you would be paid for referring people? And what if the people you referred could also be tracked so that when they referred people, you would be paid. Then what if they referred someone in another state or another country and you would still be paid?
I sat there and thought about what he said. I thought, “Why shouldn’t I be paid?” I got some literature and as I read through it, I was hooked.
To make a long story short, I joined the next day which was the first day of the rest of my life.
"I Thought I Had Seen It All!"
I have been doing MLM for 30 years. I thought I had seen it all. I was so wrong. You deserve to get yourself this book. It will transform your business. If you don’t get this book you must not like money. The MLM Black Book is money in the bank.
I have since been in MLM for 21+ years. I design prospecting tools and software for home-business entrepreneurs that help them be successful. I run many MLM programs and have over 400,000 members on my sites. I LOVE MLM! It has changed my life. Of course I had roadblocks along the way and it was not always smooth but I never quit. I'll tell you the rest of my story some other time and how I was able to accomplish what I have. I'd love to share it with you. Maybe it will inspire you through your tough times.
The Black Book Of MLM Secrets is a "spill-my-guts" condensed version of the hottest marketing techniques I have learned in my 21 years in MLM. I have done it all. I have spoken to tens of thousands of people personally as well as most of the top income earners. I have heard all the sob stories about how they have no one to talk to yet have not done much if anything at all to generate the necessary prospects to see their chosen business.
You MUST be willing to do what others are un willing to do.
You MUST have a BELIEF in yourself, company, industry and in your "WHY" must be unflappable!
"A Key Part Of My Education!"
How did you think of these methods? They are BRILLIANT! I am sharing this with my group and making it required reading. Being a physical paperback book, it is a key part of my education library that I refer to often!
The Black Book Of MLM Secrets will expose you to 101 ways to build your business, most of which you have probably never even thought about.
You will see offline and online techniques. Both free and paid ways to drive laser guided traffic to your system. You see, you never succeed in any MLM if you can't get people to look at the site, product or plan.
One of my mentors used to say "Show The Plan, Show The Plan, Show The Plan and when you get tired of that, you "Show The Plan some more!"
Thus all of your efforts must be to get more "eyeballs" to see what it is you have to offer or you might as well pack it in.
The Black Book Of MLM Secrets will both expose you to these methods as well as go into detail to give you a jump start with whatever method you choose.
The Black Book Of MLM Secrets is a paperback "hard copy" book and will be mailed to you.

As you Trick or Treat down your neighborhood streets take a look in the sky to see who you just might meet! As you Trick or Treat! Look up above at the groups of stars in your sky on “Halloween Night” to meet your seasonal constellations. Constellations can be defined as a group of stars that make an imaginary shapes in the night sky. They are usually named after mythological characters, people or animals and objects.
The Winged Horse Pegasus- Four bright stars that form a square.
Princess Andromeda- Andromeda is connected to ” Pegasus” forming a “V”.
King Cepheus: Stars forming an upside down stick figure house.
Queen Cassiopeia- Stars forming the letter “W” .
Spot a Nova in the Sky Tonight!
Alert! A nova has been discovered in the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin and it’s getting brighter each day! Novae visible to human eyes only happen once or twice every ten years. This nova can’t be seen with the naked eye yet, but we think it might be soon.
Two days ago (August 14th) an amateur astronomer named Koichi Itagaki discovered the nova in the constellation Delphinus the Dolphin. Since then, the nova has increased in brightness almost exponentially. Although it isn’t quite visible to the naked eye just yet, it is easily found through binoculars. It is quite possible that its brightness could increase even more in the next few days.
To see the nova, you’ll need a pair of binoculars or a small telescope. Locate the Summer Triangle high over head after sunset. Delphinus is a small parallelogram of stars to the lower left of the triangle. The nova is about two thirds the distance between Delphinus and the edge of the triangle.
What is a nova? The name comes from the Latin word for “new”, because novae seem to be “new stars” that appear in the sky suddenly. This is not actually the case, however. Novae are not to be confused with supernovae. Supernovae are huge explosions that occur when a large star ends its life cycle.
A nova is a sudden increase in brightness in an existing star. One cause of this occurs in a binary system (two stars orbiting each other closely). Sometimes matter will transfer from one star to the other, causing a flareup. Imagine pouring gasoline on a fire.
If you are unable to spot the nova from your backyard, check out the video below from space.com; it shows live footage of the nova taken from the Canary Islands last night.

Woodbury's police team has teamed up with Clinton Devon Estates in a bid to curb motor cyclists from using the common to ride off-road.
Officers have been helped by members of the public who have reported motorcycles being ridden in the Woodbury Castle and Four Firs areas.
The police said five culprits have been slapped with fixed penalty notices and ordered to pay £30.
They were also warned notice under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 - meaning the vehicle's details are entered on the police national computer.
Police community support officer Donna Baker said: "If the vehicle is seen again being used in the same manner it can be seized by the police resulting in a fee for the release of £110."
Concerns have been raised about the damage caused to area used by motorcyclists, which is pebble heathland, an internationally-designated site of Special Scientific Interest, and a fragile environment.
Anyone who spots motorbikes being ridden over the common is urged to contact the police at the time of the incident, on 08452 777444, quoting reference KE/10/1355.

Although the rule that allows homeowners to take up to $500,000 of profit tax-free applies only to the sale of your principal residence, it has been possible to extend the break to a second home by converting it to your principal residence before you sell. Once you live in that home for two years, you have been able to exclude up to $500,000 of profit again. That way, savvy taxpayers can claim the exclusion on multiple homes.
Note: Congress has clamped down on this break for taxpayers who convert a second home into a principal residence after 2008. A portion of the gain on a subsequent sale of the home will be ineligible for the home-sale exclusion, even if the seller meets the two-year ownership-and-use tests.
The portion of the profit subject to tax is based on the ratio of the time after 2008 when the house was a second home or a rental unit, to the total amount of time you owned it. So if you have owned a vacation home for 18 years and make it your main residence in 2013 for two years before selling it, only 10 percent of the gain (two years of nonqualified second home use divided by 20 years of total ownership) is taxed. The rest would qualify for the exclusion of up to $500,000.

The idea of the Tote, earlier known as the Horserace Totalisator Board, was formed in Britain. It was established in 1928 by the UK government. Under the brand Totesport, the Tote has many betting shops in Britain, and outlets on the racecourses too. There are now Internet and call centre divisions. The Tote now has formal pool betting links with similar organisations in many other countries of the world, and the best online tote betting are available wherever they have been established.
Tote betting is a system of pool betting on horse racing. This system of tote betting is also called pari-mutuel betting, and means all bets of a certain type are placed in a pool, taxes and the house take are removed. All the bets placed by the punters are pooled together, and payoff odds are calculated by sharing the pool wealth among all the winning players. Thus Tote betting means that the final payout is not determined until the pool is closed, while in fixed odds bets the payout is agreed at the time the bet was bought.
Effectively, placing bets on the best online totes betting allows the player potential lucrative tote betting opportunities. First of all, there are what is called the floating and shifting odds. Based on the number of punters betting, the sizes of the bets made and of course on the outcomes of the events, the odds available in this betting format float around, and the shrewd punter can reap highly lucrative returns. Secondly the size of the community reflects the respective size of the purse, and as such, thanks largely to the internet and its globalization of events, means that some of the most lucrative wins online are available through the best online tote betting.
Sports events all over the world are considered the greatest entertainment of all. Whether people travel sometimes great distances to attend these events, or whether they sit at home and watch on the television, people love to watch sports.
Everyone in New Zealand has their favourite sport, and sportsmen and women that are treated like heroes. This consuming interest and passion has made the sports betting industry the huge profitable business it is today. There are now also a variety of bets available to punters, especially in the extremely popular horse racing world. This has grown immensely quickly, with the addition of online sports betting. The best online totes betting are now easily accessible for everyone wishing to place a bet.
Wagering online can be lots of fun, as well as highly profitable. This is also because of the wealth of possibilities of different bets available, and the great New Zealand online sports books that cater to these bets. They offer punters a great range of sports to bet on, but also the thrill of watching a game with a stake in the outcome of the event. This effectively combines people’s love of the sports themselves, and the enjoyment of a gamble on the outcome. The best online totes betting can be accessed by the huge number of punters who sit at home and use their computers, smartphones or tablets to place their bets.
Kiwi punters are therefore advised to investigate the best NZ online betting available in the online sports books, find which games support it, and join the online community in the big wins available in horse racing.

Your Bargaining Team met with the employer to continue bargaining on January 29th and 30th, 2014. It was our first round of bargaining under our new leadership, however, this has always been a team effort so it was a very smooth transition.
It was a successful round of bargaining and we were able to sign off on one package. Although this is a positive fact, it has been a very tough and slow round of negotiations and we see this continuing in our future rounds.
Please continue to support your Team by wearing your tags, maintaining a positive outlook while in the workplace and participating in events and actions.
Our next round of bargaining is scheduled for February 11th, 12th & 13th, 2014 in Fredericton.
The bargaining team met with the employer to continue bargaining on February 11th, 12th and 13th. This round has been shortened as Tuesday morning was used for the two sides to meet before coming together at the table.
It has been a difficult round of bargaining due to the nature of the Articles we are discussing. We are keeping the rights of our members at the forefront, as we do not believe in concession bargaining. We will continue to work on these Articles with the Employer during the next round of Bargaining.
Our next round of bargaining is scheduled for March 11th, 12th & 14th, 2014 in Fredericton.
Your bargaining team have been at the table for three days this week, 11th, 12th and 14th. We have had a respectiful round and many discussions were held. There are still outstanding issues but your bargaining team will remain strong with your support.
Your negotiation team meet in Fredericton for three days April 29th & 30th May 1st. This was a very intense (3) three days with hrs of discussions among your team members . At the end of these three days we signed off on a package that had 14 articles in it. Kudos to your team !!!!
Your Negotiation team will be doing a provincial tour in the month of May, Please try to make your self available , so you can stay informed. You will receive further information from your RVP, Zone stewards and or school stewards. Thank You for your continues support .
Since our last update, we have had four rounds of Negotiations; June 3-5, Sept 16-18, Sept 29-Oct 1 and Oct 14-16. Due to the confidential nature of the negotiating process it is hard to disclose much information without breaching confidentiality. We want you, the members, to know that your Team has the best interests of all of the members at the forefront during this process.
We continue to struggle with some specific articles that lead to intense, heated and lengthy debates on both sides of the table. Your team remains unified and solid, working cooperatively to attain the best language possible for the members. The positive aspect is that we are still actively engaged in dialogue with the Employer and each other.
In late September we signed off on a package that had approximately 12 articles in it. This is the first package we have signed since May. This goes to show how difficult each round is and the importance that the Team places on making improvements for the membership as a whole. The Team foresees future rounds as becoming more intense due to the monetary nature of the discussions.
Although we have seen a change in government, the Employer’s Team has remained the same so we continue to move forward. All packages previously signed off, remain signed off and do not have to be re-negotiated.
Your Team will be continuing to meet with the Employer with 3 days scheduled for Negotiations in November and another 3 days in December.
Your Team continues to work tirelessly on your behalf to maintain and gain improvements to benefits for the members. Your continued support is imperative to show the solidarity of this Local.
The Employer is still waiting for a mandate from the new government which slows our process somewhat. The first ½ day was spent on open discussions with both sides about frameworks for some processes. Both parties continue to work respectively and co-operatively which is always a good sign. We use our days wisely to accomplish as much as possible in the time allotted. We are coming into the big issues such as monies, hours, pensions, etc. so the upcoming dates will engage much discussion!
The team continues to work on behalf of the entire union to retain and advance what we have. We thank you for your continual support!

So far I have talked and written about a great place and the positive things that I see and experience while traveling. This will be a slightly different text – a travelogue of the planet Earth.
People in Serbia do not know enough about this subject, much less pay attention, and concerns all of us. On trips to meet with a lot of stress on them and pay attention. Somehow increasingly deal with the thought that I clearly and loudly shout to me at least someone heard that at least some began to pay attention and start thinking … What are we doing to our planet remain after us. Unfortunately, the answer is nothing.
My parents taught me to always first start from yourself. Yes, if I change something in your life or do, it affects the other. Of course in his micro world, but this is a topic that affects us all. That’s why I’m writing this article .. May be you who read this text start thinking on this topic.
Since there is our planet’s climate is constantly changing. Once upon a time, changing as a result of changes in natural circumstances. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution to today, climate change emerged as a result of human activities.
Large fires, soil erosion, floods and storms, tropical heat attract the attention of the media and the public, however, we think about them only how to overcome them and survive. Statistical analyzes show that the occurrence of these phenomena increase due to climate change which are directed by people directly.
Life on the planet was better before people began to massively consume fossil fuel and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which is released by combustion of coal, oil, petroleum and gas, the most significant impact on global warming.
Do not even discuss this topic, but when i think unfortunately, the discussion only on the human species.
Every year, the average temperature on Earth moves around 1° C. If the temperature rises by more than 2° C would lead to dangerous climate change and the devastating impact on wildlife. All the carbon dioxide is in the minerals and organisms, then in oil and coal in the Earth’s crust (fossil fuel). Natural cycle of carbon dioxide maintains the amount of CO2 of the atmosphere in equilibrium. The decomposition of plants, volcanic eruptions releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere where it retains a hundred years. But then again disappears from the atmosphere through photosynthesis of plants and dissolving in water.
Did you know that, if we continue like that pollute the planet, your children and your children’s children will be able to see any coral reef on the planet. I do not know if you’ve ever had the opportunity to see and visit some of the coral reefs, enjoying the colors and beauty of which afford your eyes, the smile that you installed on your face when you dive. Soon, they will no longer exist.
Oceans, water heating, and the temperature difference between them and the salinity of the initiators of the sea currents and winds, the launch of hot and cold, moist and dry air masses that bring us rain and good weather.
Every day we hear about how the glaciers are melting, growing pollution, climate change, the seasons are no longer what they used to be, and the time seems to have gone completely mad. In other words, our planet is in serious and big problem.
In Africa I met with drought. Do not kill the animals directly drought. If there is no rain, no crops and plants and animals are dying of hunger. It is estimated that the wild species unless they are in the reserves for 15 years begin to die out and disappear.
An excellent example of the population and the authorities who are concerned about climate change in Canada’s Vancouver. They have introduced a tax on fossil fuels in 2007 which, you will agree, has a direct impact on the population (but on the other hand there are taxes on cigarettes and alcohol). These taxes increased only direct and “educated” to turn to some new, other energies available to us. For the 11 years that this law applies to them, emission of carbon dioxide is less by 15%.
Do you think that climate change will eventually lead to large-scale migration and migration?
I read recently that the biggest part of Serbia until 2050 will be affected by the reduction in total precipitation by about 25%. At the same time, these changes will cause changes in flow regimes of large rivers. Serbia will face significant shortages of water and flow on its southern and central rivers, and will increase the contact of the Danube and Sava rivers, while reducing the water flow on the river Tisa and Tamis. For Serbia, this scenario means the possibility of a certain paradox: simultaneous occurrence of droughts and floods, albeit in different location.
Scientists warn that changes in rainfall and evaporation associated with climate change can affect the overall likelihood domino effect of prolonged drought and forest fires.
So we have to take action, now, right now. Actions should be aimed at behavior change community in order to prevent any harmful consequences that threaten.
Great heat, fires and floods that “force” tourists from the resort previous seasons, are a direct result of climate change that have become visible to us ordinary people.
I believe in a cleaner and more sustainable world. I am convinced that carbon dioxide has a negative impact on the atmosphere and oceans. The life of our children will be worse if we do not do something. Think about that. Sustainability = the future of our planet.

Brooklyn's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender political voice, Lambda Independent Democrats, voted overwhelmingly tonight to endorse Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.
"We have a candidate in this race that is someone we know well and we're proud to be endorsing her tonight," said Terrance Knox, the newly elected Co-President of LID.
Dan Willson, who was also elected Co-President said the club would enthusiastically support Clinton in the upcoming New York primary on February 5th. "LID is an important voice in Brooklyn and our members haven spoken strongly for Sen. Clinton tonight," Willson said. "When we look at the Republican alternatives for president it is clear that the stakes are high for our community and we must prevail in November."
Openly gay Democratic District Leader Alan Fleishman stated, "Hillary Clinton has been a strong ally of LGBT New Yorkers in the struggle for our civil rights as our Senator. And I know she will fight hard for full equality for gay Americans as our President."
Speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign were Congressman Jerrold Nadler and Fred Hochberg, the Dean of Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy. The Barack Obama campaign was represented by Maxim Thorn, and speaking on behalf of John Edwards was Kevin Jennings, the executive director of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
In addition to the election of Knox and Willson, Lisa Badner was elected Vice President, Renee Cafiero was re-elected Corresponding Secretary and Scott Klein was re-elected as Treasurer. Willson and Knox succeed Gary Parker and Christopher Murray who led the club for 3 years.

Refer A File | MWL Law | Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer S.C.Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer S.C.
How do I refer a file online through the MWL website?
REFERRING A FILE TO MWL HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER. You can access our online file referral feature by clicking on the “Refer A File” button on our homepage. From there, you will be able to refer a file to MWL in two easy steps directly through our website.
Step One: In this step, you provide your contact information as we will need this information to contact you once your file has been evaluated. You will also select a file “type” (e.g., Workers’ Comp Subrogation, Property Subrogation, Health Insurance Subrogation, etc.) from the drop down menu. The type of file you select determines the File Information requested in Step 2.
Step Two: Here is where you answer a few questions about the file you are referring. This step is more than merely “convenient”. It asks the relevant questions and allows us to hit the ground running once we receive your file. The last part of this step allows you to attach your file, no matter the size, and submit it to MWL for evaluation. Just click the Browse button to select the documents from your system that you want to submit. Submitting documents in this step is optional. If you prefer, you can submit the File Referral Form and then send the file under separate cover in whatever manner you choose. Rest assured that MWL has taken all precautions to ensure that all data and file contents transferred to MWL through this feature is secure and encrypted so that it cannot be read or seen by anyone else.
Once you submit your file using this feature, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that will contain the information you entered into the File Referral Form and a list of the attachments, which can be saved to your computer to be memorialized in your activity log as part of your claim file.
Please Note: Sending a file through our website’s online feature, e-mail, fax, regular mail, or by other means, doesn’t guarantee our retention, as that determination will be made after MWL’s evaluation of the file. Following said evaluation, clients will receive written notification or a phone call from a MWL attorney regarding whether or not MWL will be handling your file. Referral of a file and/or your receipt of our initial receipt acknowledgement e-mail does not, in and of itself, mean that MWL can or will accept the file for handling or that an attorney/client relationship has been established. There may be conflicts which prevent us from accepting a matter or impending deadlines which make it impractical to take legal action in the time remaining. If there are any statutes of limitations, statutes of repose, notice deadlines, filing timelines, etc., which may be applicable to the matter you are referring which are less than thirty (30) days, you must separately bring those to our attention and we must agree to accept the matter notwithstanding such impending filing or notice deadlines, before we can be responsible for protecting your rights. If it is determined by both us, as your attorney, and you, as our client, that this file can and should be pursued, and that a particular fee agreement will be employed, the attorney will confirm and you must acknowledge MWL’s retention and the fee arrangement in writing so there is no confusion as to MWL’s retention or handling of a particular legal matter. Until that takes place, MWL has not entered into an attorney/client relationship with regard to the legal matter sent to us for review and MWL cannot be responsible for any deadlines or the expiration of any critical timelines.

Mitski has announced an extension of her spring 2017 tour. Previously, the tour ended at the end of April, but now it will continue all the way through summer and into the beginning of fall. New highlights include performances at the Boston Calling Festival, Panorama and an October tour alongside the Pixies.
The tour is in celebration of Mitski’s latest critically acclaimed album Puberty 2, which we listed as number five on Paste’s “The 50 Best Albums of 2016.” Mitski’s honest and emotional storytelling continues to resonate deeply with listeners, and she rocks out about unrequited love, drunk walks home and smoking that last cigarette.
See below for Paste Cloud audio from a 2015 Mitski performance and a full list of her upcoming tour dates—new dates are in bold (although the Pixies dates were actually announced last week). Tickets are on sale now via Mitski’s website. Also, check out Mitski’s fantastic official music video for “Your Best American Girl” further down.

Chrome Vs. Edge Vs. Safari…Which Browser Is Best?
Browsers have become apart of our everyday lives, but which one is the best? We take a look at the features of the top 3 of 2016.
When you buy a new laptop or desktop, you only have one way to connect to the internet and that's via the pre-installed browser on your new device. If you're using a Windows machine, the the browser is either Microsoft's new Edge browser (or Internet Explorer) or, in the case of an Apple device, it's Safari. You might not be a fan of the default browser, which means that you'll want to download and install a new one. But, which one is best?
Chrome Vs. Edge Vs. Safari...Which Browser Is Best?
According to Google, in November 2016, Chrome had been downloaded to two billion devices across the globe. Part of the appeal of Google's Chrome browser is its clean, no fuss design. Other reason includes the fact that it works across platforms and operating systems, and it's stable. It also has quite a large number of extensions, which can be added to it. This makes it even more personalised and more useful than many other browsers currently available. Chrome can also sync your tabs and browsing history across devices. This provided you're signed in to the same Google account on the devices. You can also get themes, browse in incognito mode, cast your web browsing to a different screen, and set up a guest browsing profile on the browser. Chrome has previously been known as a RAM heavy browser. But, as of the 6th December 2016, the team behind the Chrome browser have updated it to utilise less RAM. To download Chrome for your computer, click here.
Microsoft's newest browser, Edge, resembles Internet Explorer 11. This is a smart move on Microsoft's part as they attempt to persuade people to move away from the beleaguered Internet Explorer. Edge has a cleaner, more minimalistic design than Microsoft's previous browser's. It also has smaller borders and fewer icons than Internet Explorer. There's an address search bar which runs across the top of the page, along with a few icons for some of the browser's headline features. These include markups, a reading view, and Cortana - Microsoft’s answer to Siri. If your new laptop or desktop is running Windows 10, then Edge is the standard web browser you'll see, unless you download something else. And, as with Apple's Safari browser, it has integration with many of the Windows' features and apps. Including Outlook and, of course, Cortana. Some of the interesting features of Edge include the fact that it allows you to write directly on a website page. Similar to writing on a set of printed notes. There is also a Hub feature, which brings one click access to downloaded content, things you've favourited, and your reading list. To download Microsoft Edge, click here.
Apple's default browser, Safari, has not been a favourite of many people. Thanks to recent updates though, the browser has seen improvements and has become sleeker and easier to use. This while retaining its familiarity for long time users of the browser. The newest versions of Safari offer the address search bar hybrid that many of us are used to in other browsers. Recent updates also include a share icon on the righthand side of the search field. This serves as a way to bookmark pages, post to your social networks, and share web pages via Apple's native platforms, like iMessage and Mail. There's also an optional sidebar which gives you quick access to your bookmarks, social media shares, and a reading list that syncs with iOS, and even works offline. To download Safari, click here.

You emerge with your cohorts out of the jungle of middle life, each possessing your own private knowledge of courage or cowardice, and do a quick headcount, an inventory of missing limbs.
What happens in the wake of the event – this surprising and unanticipated arrivant, as Jacques Derrida would call it; this “unexpected, unforeseeable arrival” of something or someone whose “visitation […] is such an irruption that [one] is not prepared to receive [it or them]” (Derrida, “A Certain Impossible Possibility of Saying the Event”). Is the event’s aftermath always characterised by the experience of disorder, fragmentation and impermanence, by “the gears of life [going] into the reverse” (Cusk, Aftermath)? Or, alternatively, can aftermath be seen as a new growth, a second crop of grass that can be sown and reaped (“the second mowing”) and which gives rise to the “dark strings of creativity” (Cusk, Aftermath)? Shouldn’t the aftermath of the event also be recognised as the “advent […] of future-to-come […], of adventure, and of [new] convention” (Derrida, Psyche: Inventions of the Other)?
The goal of our conference, jointly organised by the Institute of English Studies (Jagiellonian University in Kraków), the Institute of Art History (University of Warsaw) and the Region and Nation Literature Association, is to explore the notion and representation of aftermath, understood as a consequence/result/after-effect of a seminal event (to an individual, a community, society, regions and nations) whose nature is not necessarily unfortunate and disastrous but certainly transformative and life-changing. We are particularly looking forward to receiving proposals addressing the issue of aftermath’s revolutionary and subversive potential in literary fiction and non-fiction, art and various types of visual narratives.
Proposals for 20-minute presentations should consist of a brief biographical note (including academic title and institutional affiliation) and a 150-word abstract. They should be sent to aftermath.conference@gmail.com by 31 May 2018. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 15 June 2018. The conference will be held at the Institute of English Studies, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland on 25–27 October 2018.
Following the conference we plan to publish selected papers (between 4,000-6,000 words in length) in book form.
The conference will be held during The Conrad Festival (www.conradfestival.pl) – the largest international literary event in Poland and one of the largest in Europe, which offers a great opportunity to meet world-renowned writers.
