Symbiosis gathering may return to Oakdale in May

Symbiosis is a very special event, especially  made by friends for friends, that happens in OAKDALE and will be held on this Summer Solstice's weekend. With a superb program of music, art, performances, speakers, workshops and other transformational activities,

Stanislaus County officials who fielded complaints from some neighbors about loud noise hope to avoid problems with tighter restrictions on music volume and nighttime quiet hours.The county’s approach will feature a sound test sometime from Monday through Thursday, and neighbors are invited to say what they think.The gatherings have been held during different months, including September, September-October, November and May
.A Symbiosis website suggests that no such gathering, which can take a year to plan, has been staged since Woodward in September, and none is listed in the near future.Keith Boggs, a county assistant executive officer in charge of promoting tourism and economic development, and Aggers said Symbiosis’ interest in Woodward is solid.

Boggs and Symbiosis representatives met twice with upset neighbors, in October and March, to find common ground. An initial move: declaring that thumping, throbbing music must end at 2 a.m. instead of 3 on the second and third nights, and at midnight on the first and fourth nights, or Thursday and Sunday.
The county last year hired a sound engineer to suggest adjustments that will be tried during the coming sound test. It will feature Symbiosis genre music at full volume, but not at 2 a.m., as some people feared after receiving the county’s letter.
It was sent to 6,500 owners of property within a 5-mile radius of the lake – a much broader reach than Symbiosis’ mailings last year to people within 3 miles.
The county received about $75,000 from last year’s event – less than the $108,000 original estimate because it did not draw the expected 10,000 revelers. Supporters raved about the venue, however – a peninsula nearly surrounded by water, lending an island feel, almost in the middle of nowhere but relatively close to Southern California and the Bay Area.

Symbiosis bills itself as a peaceful “fusion of nightly art and music mixed with daytime workshops for mind, body and beyond.” Last year’s village featured dozens of food, arts and crafts booths and hundreds of tents. “But we’re very sensitive to the community and rural area that surrounds the reservoir, and we will continue to keep that line of communication open,” Boggs continued.
Ultimately, the county’s five elected supervisors will decide whether Symbiosis may return. That vote could come sometime next month

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

By
A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

By
Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
